Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1789 1761. Pythagoras

"Four artifacts," Cassandra emphasized, "artifacts of immense power that can not only corrupt the minds of the weak, but also have the ability to defend themselves."

"What are you talking about?" Alexios said in disbelief. "Infinite power, every Isu artifact can be described in this way. Corrupting the mind, this is something that ordinary people can't do, but looking at the triangular pyramid of the Cult of Kosmos for a long time will indeed make people abnormal."

"But 'capable of self-defense'? Are you trying to say that the four artifacts are alive?"

Growing up in the Cult of Kosmos, Alexios can be said to be one of the people in the world who has seen the most Isu artifacts.

He wanted to use his own experience to remind Cassandra, but unfortunately, the falconer's expression remained unchanged until he finished speaking.

Then, Alexios's originally incredulous expression turned serious: "Look at you, are you serious? That's really... wow."

Alexios was at a loss as to what to do in this situation which was beyond his experience, and in the end he could only exclaim "Wow".

Lan En was also somewhat amazed at the appearance of living Isu artifacts, but he was amazed at how these living artifacts had survived the passage of tens of thousands of years after the collapse of the Isu civilization.

But since Cassandra has decided to deal with these four living artifacts, they will face each other sooner or later, so there is no need to rush out of curiosity.

"But you haven't told me how it feels to meet your biological father this time." Lan En brought the topic back and looked at Cassandra seriously. "Does meeting your biological father make you feel any different?"

But surprisingly, after Lan En asked, the falconer looked at him blankly for a while, then threw the empty glass bottle of Dong Zhi Dong in his hand aside and hugged him.

"It seems that there are still people who care about my feelings, instead of just caring about those four living artifacts."

Cassandra sighed with a hint of meaning. Alexios beside her laughed dryly.

Cassandra felt a little upset after meeting her biological father, and both Lan and Alexios could sense it.

But then the matter of the living artifact came up, and Alexios' attention was quickly drawn.

Lan En always paid attention to her emotions.

After breaking away from his embrace, the falconer looked at Ikaros on Lan's shoulder and said indignantly: "He is just a little spy!"

"It has been a friend of my biological father for a long time. It was he who sent Ikaros to my side to take care of me."

Lan En could tell that Cassandra was not really angry with Ikaros for this, but was just blaming himself for not knowing about it.

Ikaros, who had always been like Cassandra's strict teacher, was now busy turning his head on Lan's shoulder and combing his feathers with his beak.

It was not until Lan shook his shoulders and shook it off that the eagle tentatively and carefully flew back to Cassandra's shoulder.

Eagle Claw stepped on it, and when he found that Cassandra had no intention of dealing with it, he stood up straight with his chest and head held high.

"Your biological father sent a bird of the gods to you?" Alexios' tone was not without sourness. "Okay, now I believe what Myrrine said... Is he really a god?"

Lan glanced at Ikaros.

The eagle had been with Cassandra since she was seven years old, and had been a friend of Cassandra's biological father long before that.

This kind of longevity and wisdom is obviously not on the same level as ordinary eagles.

"My father..." Cassandra said in a complicated tone, "You may have heard of him. He is Pythagoras."

"Pythagoras?"
Lan and Alexios both made doubtful noises.

They looked at each other and confirmed that the other knew this person too.

Lan En knew this because this person was quite famous. The Pythagorean theorem is also called the Pythagorean theorem, and he discovered the golden ratio... This person is someone who cannot be avoided when studying classical mathematics and philosophy.

He also elevated the concept of "mathematics" from "counting physical objects and solving practical arithmetic problems" to abstract and purely theoretical research.

Alexios certainly didn't know what impact this name would have on the future, but he was also amazed and surprised by something.

That is - this person should have been dead for several decades, or even almost a hundred years!

This was something that many people in Greece knew at that time.

Moreover, when he died, he must have been in his seventies or eighties. If he were still alive now, wouldn't he be nearly two hundred years old?

Cassandra is thirty-one this year. If we do the math, did this Pythagoras get Myrrine pregnant thirty years ago? Alexios is a very experienced man, but he has never seen such a situation.

Although the Isu artifacts are magical, I have never heard of any artifact that can make people immortal, otherwise the whole world would be crazy about it.

Even the armor of the Persian Immortal Army only makes people more brave as their injuries become more serious.

In this ancient Greek world, there are countless heroes from ancient times to the present who possess Isu genes and can use Isu artifacts to demonstrate powerful combat capabilities.

But they have never shown the immortality of the gods, which is why the belief in the Olympian gods still covers Greece under such circumstances.

"Yes, Pythagoras." Cassandra seemed uninterested. "Mathematician, philosopher, blah blah blah... tsk."

"I came here to find my biological father. I was nervous. Would he be difficult to approach? Does he know what Myrrine and I have been through all these years?"

"But when I saw him...ha! I immediately realized that I was overthinking!"

The falconer laughed angrily. "He just greeted me politely when he met me, and then threw this matter onto my head! It was as if I was not his daughter, but just an assistant! An apprentice! Or some other messed up role!"

Alexios frowned in sync with his sister.

Cassandra's experience reminded him of how he had been treated in the Cult of Kosmos.

Lan En even said directly: "If you are not happy, then why should we help Pythagoras complete this task?"

The demon hunter crossed his arms, "It's his business if he wants the artifact. You have no obligation to him. But since you announced it as soon as you came out... I guess he convinced you?"

"That's interesting. As far as I know, you are a person who has a clear distinction between love and hate." Seeing that Cassandra did not refute, Lan En raised his eyebrows and said, "Tell me, what's the reason?"

Cassandra stamped the ground with her Greek sandals.

"Pythagoras didn't want the four artifacts for himself. If that were the case, I wouldn't even be nice to him! But where we are now..."

Having said this, Cassandra subconsciously lowered her voice, as if she was worried that the news revealed from her mouth would be spread by the wind and reach the ears of unknown people.

"It's Atlantis!"

"Atlantis contains the vast knowledge of the Isu people, which should not be known to humans now. If it goes wrong, this knowledge may have a devastating impact on humanity."

"Pythagoras has been researching this for a long time. He discovered the interfaces of four artifacts inside. Once the artifacts are in place, part of the knowledge of Atlantis will be revealed, and from it, a way to completely seal this place will be found."

"Ah," the falconer sighed, "If it is true as my mother said, and I learned from my biological father that my mission is to seal Atlantis, then I will accept it."

"As for Pythagoras? Come to think of it, it's not bad for him to treat me as an assistant, and I can just treat him as a collaborator. As for father? Forget it. Nikolaos is much more qualified than him."

"Oh," Alexios said mercilessly, "then we two siblings have the same father and mother again, thank the gods."

"But seriously... I still think this is like a fairy tale. Does Atlantis really exist?"

In today's civilized age, beliefs and legends are part of society itself, but people still classify many legends that sound outrageous as "imaginary stories" and those that are somewhat reasonable as "real history."

Of course, how the numerous myths and stories should be divided into the two categories in one's opinion depends purely on personal preference.

For example, Alexios in front of us, he believes that he is a demigod, but he also thinks that Atlantis is just a legend.

"Atlantis is real," Kassandra insisted, her hands on her hips. "I saw it with my own eyes. The remains of those magnificent buildings lie on the seabed in the deep sea. Through a magical light curtain, I can see sharks and rays swimming in the water. But where I am, it is not affected by the sea."

"Wow!" Alexios was very excited. "From what you said, I really should go down and take a look!"

But Cassandra shook her head: "No, Lan is more right. Pythagoras is very cautious now. In order to guard the knowledge in Atlantis, he may have been staying here for a long time. If you had gone in with me just now, the situation might have gotten out of control."

"From what I heard from him, he seems to know about the Cult of Kosmos, and even wants to seal the knowledge in Atlantis to prevent people like the Cult of Kosmos from getting hold of it."

"He is not just standing stupidly in front of the sealed gate of Atlantis. He has many connections with the outside world and knows a lot of things. In fact, he has roughly found the locations of the four artifacts needed for the seal."

Cassandra counted on her fingers: "Four artifacts in four places. I think if we follow the steps, we can..."
