Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 513 514. Guardian

Kassandra pulled out her broken spear from Ikanos' neck and flicked the knife gently. All the blood on the broken spear was shaken off, and not a drop stuck to the broken spear.

“Easy, this is so profitable, maybe I should hunt down more mercenaries?”

 While she was talking to herself, she took out a large money bag from Ikanos. It was full of drachmas, which were the rewards given to Icanus by Athens after he took over the mission.

 Now, of course, these things are no longer under his control.

Kassandra also took away Ikanos' full-face metal helmet, which was the source of his protective power.

It’s just that after the confrontation with the Broken Spear and being broken through, the luster on the helmet seemed a lot duller.

But even so, this helmet should fetch a handsome drachmae.

Neither the Athenian or Spartan armies would refuse artifacts.

Originally, her childhood in Sparta made her extremely concerned about honor. But the subsequent displacement made her not as stubborn as a serious Spartan.

So Kassandra held her helmet in the crook of her left arm and held her money bag in her right hand. She walked towards Lan En, who was still lecturing Furbo, with a relaxed expression on her face.

 “Go on.”

With a ‘pop’ sound, Lan En caught the money bag in mid-air without looking back.

"This assassination is not difficult, but you have to get a share if you help."

 As Kassandra said this, Lan En did not refuse.

The demon hunter looked at the corpse inside that had taken off his helmet. This mercenary, who relied on his wisdom and planning to disturb the Spartans in the entire Megaris region, did not look too old. .

At this time, Cassandra closed a pair of eyes on his young face. Before that, Lan En guessed that he must be determined to die in peace.

He is a man of ambition, ability, brains, and determination. Perhaps this war was seen by him as a stepping stone to fight for Athenian citizenship and then transform into a politician.

 Now, his body is lying on the cold marble floor of the Temple of Athena, unconscious.

 “Don’t think too much about it, Lan.”

Kassandra seemed to see what the witcher was thinking, she spoke calmly.

"He does still have great potential. His strength and reflexes are far from reaching the peak of his life. He may be able to obtain a few more artifacts in the future. But no matter how promising he is, there is no need to think about what will happen to him in the end. So awesome."

“He conflicted with our goals, and met us at this moment, and then he died. That’s it. Dead potential doesn’t count as potential.”

"I don't have that much emotion." Lann waved his hand to Cassandra, "It's just a pity. I still want to see how strong he can be in the end."

 “Then let’s get back to the point, Miss Furby.”

The witcher turned back from the mercenary's body, grabbed the collar of Fu Bai who was about to slip away, and pulled her in front of him.

 “Tell me, let me see what’s going on with you?”

Facing those amber cat eyes, the little girl sneered and shrank her neck.

 “I, I was helping just now!. Right?”

At first she could speak with confidence, but in the end, she still looked at Cassandra with a guilty conscience.

Cassandra looked at her like this and smiled very wickedly.

"Ah, even though all the people in this temple have been killed by the two of us, even though there are only two people in this room left, although these two people, with the cooperation of me and Lan En, even if an 'emergency' occurs, It didn't last more than twenty seconds, but you think you helped. Well, in a sense, you did let us both relax after work, so to speak."    "Hey! Cassandra!"

Phob was like a caught kitten in Lan En's hands, and he was complaining dissatisfiedly to Cassandra.

Cassandra, who had long regarded herself as Furbo's caregiver, didn't care at all about the little girl's complaints. Instead, she asked Lan En with interest.

“She rushed out very quickly, like a bobcat. Can you tell me what happened?”

 Lan En scratched his cheek, feeling a bit like a little gangster who had taught other people's children bad things.

“Well, I taught her something by the way. She has a good talent and learns quickly.”

“Where’s that loud and bright thing that makes a ‘bang’ sound?”

“It’s a gadget I gave her for self-defense.”

 “Oh, I’m glad you called that thing a ‘gadget’.”

 Kassandra's teasing made Lan speechless.

However, Fubo seemed to be afraid that Lan En would not teach him anything or give him [Dancing Star] after Cassandra said it, so he hurriedly interrupted and changed the subject.

“I have been inquiring about the news in the city for the past few days. I guess that Ikanos has already started to pay attention to me. And today, didn’t I just want to sneak in and show you the terrain in advance, and then…”

 Speaking, Fubai lowered his head with a guilty conscience.

Lan Enpi chuckled without a smile: "Then you are really brave. I haven't even taught you how to sneak in silently and you dare to practice it yourself."

"I have the [Dancing Star] you gave me! If you hadn't held me back just now, I would have run out! And with what you taught me, these Athenian soldiers can't catch up with me!"

 Fauber's rebuttal actually made Lan En feel that it made sense.

 The little girl's extremely light weight, as well as her talent, make her very handy in using the "Light Body Technique".

In terms of running speed alone, although it does not even reach the level of modern athletes, it is enough to run away from a few Athenian soldiers in ancient Greece.

“Okay, don’t accuse her, Lan.”

 In the end, Kassandra was relieved and asked Lan to let the matter go.

"She was born to take risks, otherwise she would not have followed her from Kefalonia. I even doubt that even if we were not prepared to take her with us at that time, she would have gone to sea with a ship. This is hers nature."

“At least now, she only takes risks when she knows she has a way out, which is much more rational than when I was a child.”

 Lan En shook his head and let go of the hand holding the collar on the back of the little girl's neck. Fu Bai landed lightly on the ground.

 “Whatever, you are her guardian anyway.”

 “It’s not just me.” Kassandra bumped Lan En’s arm with her elbow and smiled teasingly. "You also said you would take care of her, and you are also her guardian."

So Phobbe used a very strange look to look back and forth on Cassandra and Lan En, thoughtfully.

 Later, Lan and Kassandra rummaged through the militarized temple where Ikanos served as their headquarters.

They found a list of the remaining spies who were stationed in the Spartan military camp, and where the remaining food supplies were hidden.

 Kassandra was able to carry this achievement with her on missions.
