Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 846 828. Containment

"It seems I can rest assured to let you help."

Putting the two flower branches in his hands back into the soil of the clay vase, Lan En patted the soil on his hands and said lightly.

Kassandra was now a little relieved from the high physical exertion caused by the Ankh Cross, and stood upright with her hands on her knees.

He inserted his fingers into the ring on the top of the Ankh Cross and twisted it around like a keychain.

If you are a devout believer, you will definitely be shocked or even horrified if you see someone treating the artifact so frivolously.

But Cassandra has come into contact with too many artifacts, and has even directly come into contact with the ancient forge left by the Isu.

In mythology, this is basically equivalent to directly entering the temple of Hephaestus, the god of fire.

And every time Cassandra's Broken Spear is upgraded, you have to go there again, just like going home.

So even in this era of strong religious atmosphere, Cassandra can still maintain a relaxed attitude towards things related to the Isu people.

After all, being exposed to too much and being too advanced is equivalent to ‘disenchantment’.

She said as she twirled the Ankh cross on her finger.

"Then let's start now?"

Although she wasn't quite sure what Lan En was going to do, after using this Isu artifact, she felt that it was quite easy to use, so she was very confident.

But at this time, it was Lan En who raised his hand to express his refusal.

"No, wait a little longer."

What will be put into the body this time is the first step of the Primaris surgery, [Song Gland]. And this process needs to be put directly into the brain.

This is the first time Lan En has undergone brain-enhancing surgery.

According to the experience gained from [Memory Diving], after this operation, the brain will be temporarily disabled due to a huge impact.

And it also takes time for the brain to autonomously build control links with new organs.

The potential and functionality of the brain are amazing. Even if a relatively primitive implanted chip is used to add the control ability of a robot to a normal human body, the brain will automatically generate new nerves during long-term use due to the access of 'new parts'. Yuan to build a 'control system'.

As for the implantation of enhanced organs such as the [Song Gland], it is not even necessary to establish a 'control system'.

Therefore, it is very different from the previous enhancements. It is impossible to just drink [Pure White Rafad] in large gulps after surgery and then be done.

He will definitely be in a coma for a while, but I don't know how long.

That's why Lan En told Cassandra not to rush. He wanted to complete the operation while ensuring safety after the situation in Athens calmed down a bit.

"Oh, there's no rush, right?"

Cassandra smiled playfully.

"Aspasia seemed to have arranged a guest room for us just now?"

"Yes." Lan En nodded naturally at first, then seemed to suddenly realize something was wrong, and turned his head to look at Cassandra. "Wait! What do you mean?"

Before the witcher could react, the falconer pinned one of his hands and walked towards the guest room.

After strengthening her bloodline several times with the Broken Spear, Cassandra's power was strong enough even for Lan.

"I've been putting up with this for a long time, Lan."

There was a playful smile on her face, close to Lan En's ear who was forced to bend down.

"If you want me to work, you have to make me 'fed' and 'paid,' right? I'm a mercenary, and I won't do anything at a loss."

"So you prepare for broad daylight. Well, you Greeks don't care much about day and night. But can you wait until the door is closed in the room before unbuckling the armor? People will see it!"

"so what?"

The beauty born in the Aegean Sea of ​​ancient Greece showed a very incomprehensible expression on Lan En's 'care'.

"Although I don't want you to be like Alcibiades, who is full of sex all the time, but you are too conservative now. Sex and love are not bad things. They are natural, beautiful and sacred."

"Let me teach you. I learned it at the Temple of Aphrodite in Corinth during this period!"

Cassandra smiled narrowly.

——

Afterwards, although Cassandra's voice almost spread throughout the mansion, neither the servants nor anyone else in the mansion expressed anything about it.

On the one hand, this is because this situation was common in ancient Greece, and on the other hand, it is because people like Alcibiades who have more fun live here.

It totally made everyone feel weird.

Although Pericles, as an Athenian politician, could not use his huge property arbitrarily for the sake of his political image, it was still a good idea to entertain talented people like Lann and Cassandra who had no affiliation. Very relaxing.

In this era, this kind of thing is common in both the East and the West. In the East, it is called "recruiting customers", and in the West, it is called "providing shelter."

In short, if you give care without expecting anything in return, even if you still can't recruit them in the end, you can still count as forming a friendship.

What's more, Lan En also gave out the regulations to suppress the plague in the city of Athens. In terms of merit, he can be regarded as an advisor to the consul.

Kassandra seems to have been to Athens many times in the past year and a half and done many things. She was very respected by Pericles.

Aspasia entrusted her with persuading Pericles to receive medical treatment rather than die in despair.

She went and the persuasion was successful. But Pericles' condition did not ease, and he was already old.

And now he was not only suffering from the plague, but Cleon also gave a speech in front of his house, tricking the angry people into yelling and throwing garbage at Pericles' mansion.

Even if there had been no plague, Pericles would have been pissed off at his age.

After all, this was the Athenian he had served his entire life.

No matter how much Athens under his leadership destroyed allied city-states, at least the Athenians did receive his loyal service.

But now, very few people remember this.

This may also be Cleon's plan: to simply piss off Pericles so that he can take over.

On the other hand, Pericles' staff was indeed starting to act according to the plan given by Lane.

They mobilized Athens' finances, began to set up furnaces for burning wormwood in the streets, and piled up and cremated the corpses of the sick who were already seen everywhere in the city of Athens.

Stray animals that appeared in the city due to the plague also began to be hunted in batches.

These are all meant to cut off infection.

The temperature in Athens this year is almost 40 degrees Celsius, which facilitates the spread of germs.

But once the temperature is raised further, the activity of the bacteria will drop significantly.

And Alcibiades was indeed as Lan En expected.

He is now seizing the opportunity, and is preparing to rely on Pericles' legacy and the opportunity of this plague to officially enter the political stage of Athens.

This is more than ten years earlier than his appearance in history.
