Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 845 827. Ankh Cross

Lann and Cassandra left the room together.

Because they were not Athenians, this reason was very convincing as a reason to leave.

After all, Lan En has already made a considerable contribution to this plague, using his wisdom and knowledge.

"Whenever I feel that I have become a fearless warrior, I will always encounter things that cannot be solved with simple force, such as plagues, conspiracies, and missing family members."

Kassandra's Amazon boots made a crisp sound as they stepped on the marble steps of Pericles' mansion.

"It seems like the gods always like to remind me of this: I'm still here, a mortal."

Seeing that Cassandra seemed a little depressed, Lan comforted her.

"We are all mortals, and we can only do what mortals can do."

The two of them looked out at the horizon from the patio of Pericles's house with emotion. The smoke and dust over Athens covered the sun.

The warm and unrestrained sunshine of the Mediterranean Sea turned into a lifeless dusk after passing through a layer of smoke and dust.

The five to six meter high marble sculptures with beautiful white shapes also dimmed in the light.

And those marble sculptures that have been painted are even more gloomy and sad.

"Hey! You can't hit me, flannel ball! I only learned [Light Body], but I didn't learn how to fight!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, meow, I didn't know either!"

On the other side of the patio, Fu Bai was "chasing and fighting" with Velvet Ball. It's just that each of them has a cat's body, and their ability to move in complex terrain is more agile and faster than a real cat.

It seems that Fubo has really not been lazy in the past year and a half, and his talent has always been online, so even with the small weight of the flannel ball and the structure of the recurved legs, she is still leading the way.

In terms of mobility, it is not much worse than the ordinary ninjas who come and go in Ashina Kingdom.

It's just that after all, Velvet Ball is an Elu cat who is heading towards the goal of being a "warrior". Basically, he instinctively used the sheathed sword and stabbed Fubai a few times with its length advantage.

In a real battle, Fubai was considered dead.

Cassandra and Lan En's melancholy quickly dissipated a lot in the play between one person and one cat.

"Well, it seems that until Athens is stable, I can't expect to get information about my mother from Aspasia."

Kassandra let out a long breath, put her hands on her hips and sighed to Lan En.

"She is about to die right now. I can't drag her and ask her to help, right?"

Cassandra is aggressive and proactive, cunning and domineering when fighting. But he is still very empathetic when dealing with his friends.

Although Kefalonia is a remote place, and Marcos, who brought Cassandra up, is also considered unreliable, this environment at least did not turn Cassandra into a typical Spartan: ruthless. Classical militaristic soldier.

"My affairs have to wait, but you said you came here to ask for my help, tell me?"

Lan En looked at Cassandra and smiled, and the two of them walked slowly in the mansion together.

The demon hunter took out the [Ankh Cross] from the alchemical leather bag on his waist and placed it in Cassandra's hand.

After the falconer took it, the thing immediately changed from its calm posture when it was in Lan En's hand, as if it was suddenly charged.

The delicate reliefs and engravings on the cross slowly lit up with a golden shimmer.

Lan En's other hand took out a preservation bottle. What floats in the preservation solution in the bottle is a leaf-like nerve bundle and secretory glands.

The first of the three surgeries unique to Primaris Space Marines - [Song Gland].

"That's it. Do you remember the monsters Harpalos created when the two of us defeated him?"

Kassandra found the situation from her memories without much effort.

After all, the dark and cold cave, as well as the half-human, half-animal monsters inside, left a deep impression on this beauty raised in the Aegean Sea.

This was the first time in her life that she saw ‘snow’.

"You and Herodotus concluded at that time that those monsters were transformed by this artifact created by the Egyptian gods."

"Indeed."

Lan En did not directly reveal his plan at the beginning. After all, putting something into his body might seem a bit deviant to people of Cassandra's era.

"You try to see if you can apply it first. I want to know what this thing looks like when it is actually used."

Cassandra shrugged nonchalantly.

Then, as if due to the transportation and contamination of energy, the golden light on the Ankh Cross went up Cassandra's arm, and finally illuminated her eyes with a golden light.

It seems to have a divinity that does not belong to human beings.

Cassandra's eyes filled with golden light looked around, then walked to the edge of the cylindrical marble corridor in the mansion.

There is a calf-high clay vase filled with moist soil and bright flower branches placed beside the pillars of Pericles' mansion.

It is basically a branch of light purple flowers, paired with a pink flower, occupying a vase.

Kassandra held the Ankh cross in one hand and raised it with the other, towards the direction of the flowerpot.

Then a burst of soft golden light floated out from the hand she was holding up, and enveloped the vase.

It only lasted a short time. After the golden light dissipated, a strange scene suddenly appeared in the vase.

There is no trace of splicing, but the upper half of the light purple flower branch and the upper half of the pink flower branch grow on each other so naturally.

Apart from the difference in flower color, there is absolutely no sign of artificiality in the changing boundaries.

Kassandra lowered her arms, and the golden light in her body and eyes instantly returned to the Ankh Cross, and her whole body suddenly changed from a state of full energy to one with her hands on her knees and breathing heavily.

She herself was a little surprised that she had become so tired in such a short period of time.

Lan En walked to the vase under the pillar and broke off the two flower branches that were swapped with each other.

Hold the fracture in front of your eyes and observe carefully.

"The fibers, veins, and tracheal passages all fit together, sir."

Mentos made an assessment in his mind for this 'super-tech surgery'.

"Based on Miss Cassandra's level of knowledge, I assume that she herself has absolutely no knowledge of these plant organs. And the only way to make all of this so natural and perfect is"

"Only the Ankh Cross itself."

Before Mentos could finish speaking, Lan En was already looking at the broken flower branch in his hand and murmuring.

"The first civilization's intelligent surgical device is so intelligent!"

So does Kassandra, and so does Harpalos.

None of them had any understanding of animal bodies and plant organs, but the Ankh cross could still make the limbs they wanted to transform and connect neatly.

And this is also the key to allowing Lan En to proceed with the operation with peace of mind.
