Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 537 538. Meet again

Cassandra helped Pericles twice.

She first found an unknown political ally of Pericles, and then found the politician tied up in his own house, surrounded by venomous snakes.

It didn't take her much time to find the person who did it with her extraordinary senses. That was a group of refugees drawn in by Pericles' 'long wall policy'.

The person who gave these refugees the poisonous snakes was a mercenary wandering outside the city.

Kassandra didn't bother the refugee and didn't hurt anyone, she just killed the mercenary.

Later she also helped Pericles falsify the results of an ostraca banishment.

Having a friend who was already targeted by his political enemies banished him from Athens for ten years as a way of protecting him.

After doing all this, it was almost nightfall, and Cassandra stood in front of Pericles' mansion as agreed.

Standing at the door of the house were three Athenian lightly-armed soldiers.

Their leader looked Kassandra up and down unceremoniously.

"Keep your hands and feet clean, mercenary. We'll keep an eye on you."

An Athenian soldier next to him pulled his wrist: "Hey, you should at least welcome her, she is a guest."

"Okay." The leading soldier nodded indifferently and said without emotion as if he was an endorsement, "Pericles will entertain you warmly, mercenary."

I don't want entertainment, I want intelligence and answers.

Kassandra thought to herself.

She did not have the leisure to chat with the guard. After she separated from Lan En, she saw a scene in Fojis that she had never dared to imagine in her life.

She saw her brother whom she thought was dead long ago! He was deceived by a group of sneaky villains! Take control!

And those sneaky villains are still planning to catch her missing mother.

All this sudden and shocking information made Cassandra feel even more crisis-ridden.

As for the city of Athens, just one day of contact with it made Cassandra feel a little uncomfortable.

Herodotus once said to her, ‘In Athens, people’s most powerful weapons are not swords, but wisdom and communication’.

This was territory Cassandra had never been familiar with.

She had no one to teach her this in Sparta, and there was no need to pay attention to it in Cephalonia.

The unfamiliar behavior made her feel helpless in this city.

Hurry up and let me get the information, or let me see Fu Bai again and get Lan En's help.

Cassandra feels that these three situations are the only ones that can make her feel more relaxed now.

There was a foyer upon entering. Cassandra originally planned to go in directly, but a familiar voice from the side made her stop in surprise.

"You should take off your weapons and armor first, Cassandra."

The falconer turned his head in surprise. Fubai was looking at her with his hands behind his back, head held high and a smile on his lips.

"Fubai!"

Cassandra looked up and down at the little girl she hadn't seen for several months.

She found that the other party had changed a lot.

Fu Bai no longer wore a piece of linen that had three holes cut out to count as one piece. She was now wearing a white linen top, a leather belt with a metal buckle hanging around her waist, and a blue skirt underneath.

Fu Bai has grown taller, and his exposed arms have gained some muscle definition.

This is even healthier than when I was a child!

Cassandra was genuinely happy for the little girl's change.

She stepped forward happily and lightly hit Fubai's shoulder with her fist, just like a greeting between warriors.

"Why are you here? And..." Cassandra held Fubo's shoulders and looked up and down excitedly, "You have changed so much! It seems that Lan En has taken good care of you!"

Fu Bai stood up slightly proudly and raised his head.

It seemed like Kassandra was treating her like a warrior, which really worked for her.

"I'm here to help Aspasia, which is a long story. I've learned a lot from Lan En, and I can give you a surprise in the future! But now I think you're not just It’s time to take off your weapons and armor, and change your clothes.”

Fubo walked around Cassandra with his hands behind his back, and in turn glanced at her with appraising eyes.

Kassandra put her hands on her hips and smiled, feeling that she was being looked at by Furbo was very fresh.

"I don't understand, why should I change clothes?"

"That's how it is in Athens. I wasn't used to it at first, but I soon forgot about it."

Fu Bai looked like he was talking about truth, like a little grown-up.

"You have to wear Athenian clothes. Athenians like to see foreigners adapt to their culture. You are here for consultation, aren't you? This will make your conversation with them much smoother."

Kassandra looked at Phobo in surprise: "Is this the character of the Athenians that you summed up? It's hard to imagine how long you have been here? Is it possible that you are still a philosopher, Phobo?"

The little girl puffed her chest up a little higher: "Of course, I... Ouch!"

A pickled olive was thrown out of the hall and hit the little girl on the forehead, leaving a trace of oily pickled juice.

"When you quote someone else's words randomly, remember to choose a place where that person can't hear you, Fu Bai."

Lan En walked over from the hall with his head lowered, teaching Fulber a lesson while smiling at Cassandra.

"Also, long time no see, Cassandra. It's so nice to see you."

The falconer stared blankly at the witcher he had fought alongside a few months ago.

At this time, the demon hunter was wearing an Athenian-style robe, exposing his entire right shoulder and right chest.

His muscular muscles, as beautiful as sculptures, were openly exposed, and Cassandra felt that everyone should pay to see this.

Len did not wear gold or silver decorations on his bare neck or upper arms like other Athenians.

But with her molten silver-like hair draped over her shoulders, Cassandra already felt that nothing could be more luxurious and noble than this.

"Won't you give me a hug?"

Lan bent down slightly, tilted his head, smiled and opened his arms to Cassandra.

The falconer came back from his daze and stepped forward to hug Lan En's back.

"Ah, it's nice to see you again, too, Lan. We're all safe."

Kassandra didn't want to admit that she couldn't help but take a deep breath while she was holding her molten silver hair.

"It seems that you are adapting well in Athens?"

After releasing the hug, Cassandra teased Lan En's appearance.

The witcher didn't feel embarrassed at all. He even opened his hand and showed it to Cassandra.

“When you’re on someone else’s territory, whether it’s out of respect or to make a good impression, wouldn’t it be nice to try the local style?”

"So your popularity in Athens is pretty good?"

Lan En smiled and tilted his head: "Just so so."
