Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 849 831. Premonition of danger

Phoebe is no longer the little girl who just ran away from Cephalonia, a backwater in ancient Greece, to adventure.

She fully developed her talents under Lan En's guidance, and relied on her excellent social skills to establish a small industry for herself and the orphans in the city of Athens.

Lan En taught her the techniques of force, and the experience of working for Aspasia over the years allowed her to learn sensitivity to the atmosphere and careful thinking from this outstanding female politician.

"There's something wrong, Maurice Dieter."

Fubo said this to the person he was sending the message to.

The little girl frowned slightly and bit her lip subconsciously.

Now we are at the home of Morris Dieter. This political ally of Pericles, like Pericles, although he has a lot of wealth, his ambition for political status prevents him from using the money for material enjoyment.

Instead, he just bought a small house on the street in Athens without a courtyard to show that he was "better to be impoverished than to be impoverished."

Although the tapestries, the clay on the floor, and the pottery in this small house are all of the highest quality in the city of Athens.

But now, Fubai was lying next to the carved wooden window of the small house, his eyes alert and careful looking out along the window edge.

At first glance, the situation outside seems 'normal'.

The sunlight was dimmed by smoke and dust. Along the originally neat and white stone paved avenues, many pottery pots filled with flower branches have now been removed. These decorations that cannot save Athens have been removed.

Instead, mugwort was added, a flame was lit, and the pungent but comforting smoke rose and drifted away.

On the avenue, the sick and dead with dirty clothes and withered bodies were piled together, and they were also burned.

And those relatives and friends who were still reluctant to let go of the deceased were beating their chests and feet crazily outside the fire, or kneeling blankly, looking at the fire.

Outside the small circle of people building around the fire, there are also some depressed and angry people who are moving around the city.

Some of these people were people who had to work to make a living when the plague was rampant, some were mobsters who wanted to make a fortune, and some were fools who were aroused by Cleon.

This is all normal, but for some reason, Fubai feels something is wrong.

"You'd better call your hired guards to work, have them go with you, and leave now. Rather than letting them guard this house while you go to the lecture."

The little girl turned her head seriously and gave suggestions to the person to whom she was sending the letter.

Maurice Dieter is a typical Athenian politician, a bit fat, thickly hairy, with a bald hairstyle and a big beard.

After hearing what Fu Bai said, he first frowned, and then waved his hand without looking back.

So in the corner of the house, an Egyptian wearing a full set of linen armor and a sickle sword on his waist walked towards the outside of the house, apparently to check the situation.

The Mediterranean is an excellent trade route for trade between Africa and Greece, so you can even see black people in Athens, and Egyptian mercenaries are not uncommon.

The Egyptian holding the sickle sword looked around outside and then returned, smiling and shaking his head.

"This little girl is too timid. Don't let her timidity affect you, Maurice Dieter. Cowards can't achieve great things. They will only be scared to death halfway and drown in the yellow sand."

said the Egyptian, mockingly.

Maurice Dieter waved his hand and did not respond to his guard's words, but he did not look at Fubai again. Instead, he seemed to be concentrating on reading the papyrus sent by Fubai.

Even though there were only two sentences on the papyrus, he had read it many times.

Fu Bai sighed, understanding that this performance was the other party's response.

A guard who has experienced hundreds of battles and came to Athens from Egypt is more trustworthy than a little girl with a hairless mouth.

Moreover, taking an escort to attend a political speech does not appear to be close to the people, courageous, or 'poor'. In short, it is not good for the political image.

That's probably it. If it was Ferber who had just arrived in Athens, he might feel angry at the other party's slighting him at this time, and even argue with him.

But now, she has calmed down a lot.

Fubo didn't want to say anything more, so after saluting, she immediately ran out of Maurice Dieter's house like a rabbit escaping from the hole.

For some reason, Fubo felt that she had a 'premonition' in her heart, which made her feel that she was in danger now.

This feeling first appeared nearly half a year ago, and now it appears more and more frequently.

And today. She has never felt so strong!

After escaping from Maurice Dieter's house, Fubo did not immediately use [Light Body Technique] to jump onto the continuous rooftops and rush on them.

Because that inexplicable feeling told her that someone was staring at her now.

If no one sees it, it is a convenient and hidden method to jump onto a roof that usually does not attract attention, and then move quickly and duck past.

But jumping on a rooftop only makes you more conspicuous when someone is specifically watching you the entire time.

The sense of crisis made Fubai, an adventurous little girl, become more calm and calm.

Her eyes were moving around covertly, but her body was walking on the street like a normal person.

With a 'stab' sound, she tore off a small section of the hem of her white skirt, then quickly tied the torn linen cloth around her face and covered her mouth and nose.

"I hope that the method Lan En taught me will be useful. I hope that if I am infected, he can cure me. No, of course he can cure me, but I cannot guarantee that I will not stay after being tortured by the plague. unmentionable disease."

Fu Bai murmured in a low voice, then frowned and squeezed towards the people on the street.

She prepared to enter the crowd in order to confuse the sight of the unknown watcher.

As long as she successfully escapes from surveillance, she can immediately show that she is more agile than a cat and escape.

But it was obvious that the people who were chasing him this time were not the kind of third-rate people who could be easily dismissed.

"what!"

Short, painful and panicked screams came from the houses on the street.

There were several screams in a row, and people on the street were not surprised, because in Athens today, home invasions, robbery and murder are nothing new.

People on the street didn't even have the curiosity to glance over there.

But Fu Bai, who was already crowded in the crowd, turned pale.

Because in this series of short screams, she heard the voice of politician Maurice Dieter and the voice of the Egyptian guard.

Although Maurice Dieter did not heed a little girl's warning, he was a wealthy politician after all.

The guards he selected were basically expensive, and among them was the Egyptian who could successfully come to Athens from the sea in today's harsh situation.

Phoebe believed that if his story could be polished and told by Aristophanes, it would be a legendary drama.

But even a warrior of this level could only let out an astonishingly short scream?

"Artifact."

Fu Bai could only think of this possibility.

The enemy is the one holding the artifact!
