Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1605 1577. Equipment Disruption
It is true that Cassandra's equipment is antique.

After all, this set of equipment was either the remains of ancient people found by falconers while digging graves and stealing holes on the islands of the Aegean Sea in ancient Greece, or it was the spoils she had taken from members of the Cult of Order while hunting them all over the Aegean Sea.

The equipment worn by these members of the Cult of Order was inherited from generation to generation hundreds of years ago.

The time span of her equipment may be more than five hundred years!

In the era of Cassandra, more than 400 years BC, casting technology was already considered primitive in Berengar's eyes.

Not to mention these older equipment.

But Cassandra's equipment seemed powerful enough to surprise Berengar.

As they talked, several people found a place to sit down.

Lan En felt that he was taking up too much space, so he stood against the wall.

"It seems that it was not in vain that I dragged you to study last time."

The young witcher joked.

The last time I went to the New World with Berengar, the old witcher exchanged skills with the craftsmen of the second phase of the New World Investigation Team, and made [Smaug], a summary product with technical verification, using high-quality materials.

Berengar's craftsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds. In terms of technical style, he can be regarded as a master who has integrated the forging experience of two worlds.

The old witcher supported the table with one hand. His face, which looked a bit like a primitive man because of its long face, kept looking up and down at Cassandra who was sitting across the desk.

The armor adapted to the climate of the Aegean Sea is considered a very revealing garment here.

At least half of Cassandra's tan, strong and muscular thighs were exposed.

However, when Berengar scanned the other person's body, he did not stop at the beautiful flesh parts, but only looked carefully at the cold and hard metal.

"There's something mixed in it." He concluded confidently, "Otherwise, this kind of thing that's still being cast wouldn't have such performance. Can you give me one to look at? An arm guard will do."

"awesome!"

Cassandra was surprised and very excited when she met Berengar for the first time.

Warriors always like to have a good relationship with the forge master.

As she spoke, she did not take off her arm guard, but instead pulled out a sickle-shaped sword from her waist and placed it on the desk.

The sickle sword is one of the weapons that was introduced from Egypt to the Greek region, continuing the tradition of strange-shaped weapons and equipment in the African region.

They made the blade into the shape of a small sickle for cutting grass and put a handle on the back.

This sickle-shaped sword has no special abilities, and is not even as good as the Prometheus dagger that Lan gave to Cassandra.

But because Cassandra was hunting down the Cult of Kosmos, the battles she experienced often ended up being collisions between Isu artifacts.

This results in the Isu artifacts in her possession often running out of power at a very fast rate, turning into a pile of scrap metal that has lost the characteristics of Isu technology.

The pace of replacement is too fast, so basically you can only use what you have.

This sickle-shaped sword is an Isu artifact produced in Egypt. She started using it after she snatched it.

Anyway, I have never seen an Isu artifact that has no reaction in her hands. It is different from the situation where other artifacts choose people, she always chooses the artifact.

Nowadays, because Cassandra has not caught the members of the Cult of Kosmos for a long time, the number of artifacts on her is at a low point compared to before.

Only this sickle sword, the Spear of Leonidas, and the arm guards and greaves are Isu artifacts.

Even the bow and arrow on her back were made by ordinary craftsmen.

When Berengar got the sickle sword, he was stunned at first. After all, this kind of weapon looked very strange to him, who was used to using a half-hand sword.

As the forging technology of the magical Middle Ages continent continued to exchange and develop, the weapon shapes in various places actually evolved in a convergent manner.

It has even reached a high level of convergence.

Berengar, who has learned skills in this environment until today, was inevitably confused when he suddenly saw a weapon form that had not even begun to evolve into a homogeneous form.

After swinging his hands in the air a few times, he became even more confused.

His face was full of an expression of "How can this broken thing be so strong?"

This is because he does not have the Isu genes and has not yet unleashed the power of Isu technology. He only has the solidity of the basic weapons.

"That's why she wanted to visit you first when she got here."

Lan En said this while leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest.

He did not elaborate on where and how this "once came" came from, because he and Berengar knew it.

Although Xi Leton, who was present, was not completely clear, he had a general idea. After all, Lan En did not deliberately hide it from him.

Incidentally, the word "visit" in this sentence implicitly praises Berengar's skills and shows his reputation in Lan's description.

This was very useful to the old demon hunter. He leaned back with a relaxed expression and sank into the back of the chair.

Totally taken advantage of.

"Cassandra would like you to update her equipment, using magic and forging techniques different from those in her hometown." Lann concluded, spreading his hands. "It's an attempt to break old habits."

Berengar smacked his lips after listening to Lan's previous statement about the brief nature of the Isu artifact.

"It will be effective as long as it is mixed in, but the specific effect depends on the holder. The consumption after the same kind of confrontation cannot be restored."

Berengar handed the sickle sword back to Cassandra and glanced at Lan standing next to him.

"Isn't this just treating high-level weapons as consumables? No wonder you want to try our skills. The cost of fighting is too high."

"Where did you find such a weird thing?"

The first half of the sentence is directed at Cassandra, while the second half is the old witcher's complaint to the young witcher.

Cassandra did not comment on Berengar's statement, because she indeed thought the same thing.

The sickle-shaped sword looked ordinary in Berengar's hand, but when Cassandra grasped the handle, she simply rubbed her fingers lightly against the blade.

A layer of green smoke came out from the sword and wrapped around the body of the weapon.

Sillerton immediately shrank back in his chair, away from Cassandra.

After seeing that Lan had no special expression, Berengar tentatively touched the green poisonous smoke and sniffed it.

Suddenly, the accumulation of toxins in the witcher's body was reflected on the old witcher's face.

"Hmm," Berengar groaned and pressed his temple, "It's a bit too strong."

Lan En reached for the alchemical leather bag on his waist and asked him, "White Honey?"

"No need." Berengar waved his hand. "I feel a little dizzy, but I feel fine. Let my immune system get going. I haven't been poisoned in a while."

The only 'normal person' present was a dwarf. Xileton grinned and tried to shrink his body into the chair.

What kind of person is this? You think poisoning is a form of exercise, right?
However, after Berengar was a little dizzy and didn't talk much after being poisoned, Xileton cleared his throat with a glass of wine in his hand.

"I don't know much about technology. Anyway, Master Berengar is the best blacksmith I have ever seen. Kassandra, I'm sure the master can handle your idea."

"I am looking forward."

After exchanging pleasantries with the falconer he had just met, the red-bearded dwarf got down to business.

"Lan En, my friend." Xi Leton emptied his glass in one gulp. "When you came back to the factory area, did you see any unfriendly scenes?"

"You mean a group of people blocked the road and prevented the cargo carriage from passing, and were finally knocked down one by one by Ged?" Lan En smiled calmly, "It seems that this happens more frequently than Ged said."

"Of course it's higher than he said. After all, he only inspected half of the area. Didn't he tell you that?"

Xi Leton asked back.

"In light of what happened last time, that night that caused all of us great sorrow, we have discussed with the craftsmen and decided to add another demon hunter to serve as a security guard."

"Because of the good impression during our previous cooperation, we preferred the reputable Wolf School, and Master Eskel took on the job."

"Eskell." Lan En raised his eyebrows. "Unfortunately, I haven't met him yet."

"Then you will be able to meet soon." Xi Leton waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Although Master Eskel looks a little scary, he actually has a good personality."

"I'm looking forward to meeting him. But to be honest, Sillerton, at first I thought it was the conflict between humans and non-human races in the factory area that was still causing trouble."

"Racial conflict? Hey, how can there be any conflict now? Everyone was scared the night before. But whether it was a shock or not, things have been much calmer recently."

"Our problem now is the group of people who are here to cause trouble for the Civil War."

"They're obviously not here to cause trouble for the so-called Civil War." Lan sneered calmly, "At least not entirely."

"Of course, of course." Xileton was not surprised at all by Lan En's words, "The situation here is very complicated."

"It sounds like you've already started investigating?"

"What if we don't investigate?" Xi Leton asked angrily, "Just let them continue to cause trouble in the factory?"

Lan En raised one hand from his folded arms, signaling for Xi Leton to continue.

"In fact, there are quite a few people who want to cause trouble at this juncture under this excuse. After all, our business is big, and it is possible that we will get in the way of anyone."

"But I have already found traces of people from several families."

"But unfortunately, we can't do anything to them. That's why I came to Berengar to discuss what to do."

"Can't do it?" Lan En frowned at first, then relaxed stiffly and speechlessly, "Wait. That's really difficult."
