Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1788 1760. Four Artifacts
But after Kassandra met Herodotus, a historian and researcher of Isu civilization, the falconer and the wise man became good friends, and they communicated and influenced each other.

Herodotus's view of the Isu was far ahead of its time. He did not consider the Isu to be gods, but rather called them "forerunners".

He also did not think that blindly using Isu technology would be a behavior that only provided convenience without cost.

On the one hand, it was influenced by her good friend Herodotus, and on the other hand, it was because of her own hostility towards the Cult of Kosmos, so Cassandra's consistent view of the Isu ruins could be described as curiosity mixed with caution.

This is not the same approach as the "complete exploration and complete utilization" of the Order Cult.

"My father..." Cassandra felt a little headache at this time, "will he be in there?"

Lan En spread his hands and said, "Besides here, where else can we hide people on this island?"

Indeed, there was no one left, so Kassandra had no choice but to take a step forward and try to use her Spear of Leonidas to open the door in front of her, just like she opened the Isu ruins on Andros Island.

pity.

"Uh……"

Cassandra moved the broken spear towards the stone gate, but the tip of the broken spear never emitted the iconic golden light.

Finally, the three of them searched for a while before they found a way to open the door.

It was a tablet left in the ruins, recording the ancient people's research on the ruins.

The stone door in front of you needs to be exposed to sunlight before it can be opened.

But the island is always gloomy due to volcanoes.

When building this ancient monument, the Greeks at some point figured out how to use mirrors to focus sunlight to achieve this effect.

Lan En and his companions had to become masters of pushing boxes, planning the refraction path of light in the collapsed and broken ruins to activate the door.

Fortunately, Lan was there. With his observation skills and Mentos' calculation ability, he basically had the answers to these questions after just a quick glance. All that was left was to execute them.

If only Cassandra and Alexios came, who knows how long these two siblings would have been scratching their heads.

The stone door opened with a rumbling sound, and it was dark inside. Cassandra took a deep breath and prepared to walk into the Isu ruins.

But behind her, Lan En held down the shoulder of Alexios who wanted to follow her in.

"What's wrong?" Alexios, who had gradually become cheerful after returning to his family, turned around and asked.

Lan didn't look at him, but spoke to Cassandra, who was already halfway through the door.

"Did Myrrine ever tell you that you can bring someone to see your biological father?"

Cassandra recalled and shook her head.

In fact, if you think about it, Myrrine was quite cautious about the matter, and only mentioned it at the dinner table at her own home to urge Cassandra.

Cassandra is no newbie, either.

When she sailed to Thera this time, she didn't actually tell the crew on the Adrestia the purpose, she just said she was coming over.

However, considering that she was running around the entire Aegean Sea, hunting down members of the cult and completing mercenary commissions, the crew members on the ship didn't think anything was wrong and just sailed away as ordered.

"Then it's better for us to wait outside."

Lan pulled Alexios out and spoke sincerely to the falconer.

"Isu ruins are usually of great importance... at least in the eyes of most people. Your biological father is inside, so it may not be a big deal for a daughter like you to go in at this time, but if you bring two strong men with you..."

Lann did not finish his words, but Cassandra and Alexios both understood the unspoken meaning.

All three of them were able to view the Isu people and Isu technology with a relatively normal attitude.

But what are the identities and strengths of these three people?
For the vast majority of people in the ancient Greek world, the Isu were gods, and the relics they left behind were the relics of the gods!

Its value and power, both in terms of belief and benefit, are immeasurable.

In the face of something like this, it would be normal for even blood relatives to feel suspicious and defensive.

It is not even impossible to imagine that blood relatives would kill each other and cause human tragedy.

Two people don't look into a well, one doesn't put his shoes in a melon field, and one doesn't adjust his hat under a plum tree... Don't do things that may arouse suspicion.

This is a kind of caution that takes precautions before it happens and nips the possibility of accidents in the bud.

Lann didn't know what kind of person Cassandra's biological father was, but he had confidence in Cassandra's fighting ability.

Cassandra was not afraid at all if the father had any ill intentions towards his daughter.

But what if a father and daughter were supposed to be together in a harmonious scene, but because of the appearance of two strong men, they became suspicious and defensive from the beginning, and finally their relationship broke down? Whose fault is this? Who will regret it?
So Lan En simply pulled Alexios away from going in.

The two of them sat down in the small camp, next to the collapsed and broken marble pillar, and chatted briefly to pass the time.

Seeing that Cassandra was about to have some free time after completing her life goal, and Alexios also wanted to seek excitement around his sister, Lan En thought of briefly revealing his situation.

In fact, Alexios is just like Cassandra, with a strong ability to accept things.

This is determined by their worldview. Because they come from the ancient Greek era when civilization was in its infancy, they can easily accept supernatural things.

The so-called "other world" in their eyes may be similar to an isolated island in the Aegean Sea.

If they were suddenly in Eastern China at this moment, it would probably feel like they were crossing the world.

Because they are restricted by the times they live in, they cannot clearly perceive how big the so-called "world" is, and they cannot intuitively understand how difficult it is to "cross the world".

Therefore, when Lan En was initially concerned about the other party's ability to accept and carefully considered the extent of information he should reveal to allow Alexios to adapt from the shallow to the deep, the other party's expression was no different from when he usually listened to a myth story.

Obviously very comfortable with it.

"So!" Alexios leaned forward in Lan's direction, holding a glass of Toussaint's three-year-old East of East red wine that the witcher had poured for him. "Are the scale-like plates on your armor really scales?!"

There was curiosity and surprise on the face of the Chosen One of the Cult of Order.

Although his mental state and twisted personality are being cured after returning to his family, Alexios is a little bored when a first-class and powerful warrior faces a stable life that he can see the end of at a glance.

Could it be so exciting just looking at this?

Fighting with powerful beasts like those in myths is one of the pursuits of the warriors of this era.

Cassandra had once received such a mission from an organization called the Daughters of Artemis. And before her, many warriors had already attempted this mission.

No one survived, but no one ever thought of retreating.

Because challenging those beasts is an honor.

"What else?" Lan knocked on his layered Smaug breastplate twice. "What do you think this is?"

Alexios smiled.

He originally thought that the armor on Lan was actually a decorative Isu artifact.

Even the armor of the Isu artifacts is basically made of metal. The large scales on Lan's body must be camouflage.

After all, what size creature would such a large scale be taken from?
"It's not just me." Lan En was a little surprised at how Alexios saw his armor. "The one on Flannel Ball is the same."

"This is great!" Alexios laughed heartily and happily, "I actually have the opportunity to fight against such an enemy!? Malaka, has Cassandra won her glory?"

Alexios said the second half of the sentence with a smile and curse.

Just when Lan En was about to comfort the other party, the falconer came out with the sound of the stone door reopening.

The two men drank the Dong Zhi Dong in the cup in one gulp, then threw down the cup, stood up and walked towards her.

Alexios was very excited and wanted to share his decision and happiness with his sister. Lan was also relaxed. After all, if Alexios could go to the Magical Medieval World to help, it would not only be very useful, but he would also find it very interesting to think about the scene.

But when the two of them got closer and saw Cassandra's expression, they looked at each other in surprise.

Because the falconer's expression looks quite complicated.

There is relief, determination, but also resentment...

"Uh," Lan and Alexios looked at each other, then he carefully considered his words and asked tentatively, "Cassandra, your meeting... was not going well?"

The sound of approaching wings was heard from the sky, and Ikaros glided towards the group in the dim sky.

It seemed to be trying to perch on Cassandra's shoulder out of habit, but the falconer glared at it for some reason.

As a result, Ikaros suddenly braked in mid-air, and landed on Lan's shoulder while gliding ahead of time. He also jumped a little awkwardly to relieve the unstable momentum.

"Wow!"

The eagle cried softly, lowered its head and scratched its armor with its claws, looking very busy.

But Lan En was already familiar with Qilin, and he knew at a glance: this was just the smart animals being embarrassed on their own.

"You two just had some good wine?"

Cassandra asked in a positive tone and held out her hand.

Without saying a word, Lan En took out the bottle of Dong Zhi Dong that he had not finished drinking from his alchemical leather bag and handed it over.

The falconer raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. It was more like venting than savoring the wine or satisfying his thirst.

"My meeting with him went well, but now we have to go fight a few battles with four Isu artifacts."

"Okay!" Alexios, who had been cautious and silent just now, quickly responded, "Four people? Where are they?"

Cassandra shook her head: "Not a human."

"What?"

"They are not people," the falconer repeated. "They are four artifacts."
