Chapter 487 487. Commission: Blood Wolf
"Great, great." A voice said.
Kassandra stopped and looked at the man walking out of the small room in the camp.
The man in front of me is as clean as a seagull. His light brown hair is combed forward. The blue robe he wears unexpectedly fits well. There are several conspicuous golden stripes diagonally on the robe. There are many bracelets and ornaments on the thin neck and wrists.
Those things are not cheap, this is a rich man.
As we all know, there are few rich people on Kefalonia.
The man walked up to the archer who was not dead, looked down at the man struggling and twitching on the ground, and then pulled out his dagger from his waist.
Naturally, like cutting a roasted chicken with a knife, he placed the dagger under the archer's neck, and then pulled it smoothly.
A pool of blood flowed from under the cut skin, and the twitching body fell into deathly silence.
The man seemed to be very disgusted. He held the dagger with a few fingers and placed it gently on the ground.
"Even for a mercenary, wiping the necks of those who work with you," Cassandra looked at the other party's actions coldly and warily, "what you did is a bit too cold-blooded."
And The man patted his hands that were not dirty very naturally: "They don't work with me, they work for me."
"Work for you? You don't The one-eyed man hired him, "Who are you?"
At this point, Cassandra scratched her head in embarrassment, causing her braid to tremble on her left shoulder.
Marcos told him that these were the men of the One-Eyed Man, and she came over to kill them all one by one, but now it looks like she killed the wrong person?
When she acts, she never gives people a chance to speak, or even give people a chance to discover her.
But now, after killing all the people, she realized that she had killed them wrongly.
"I am Elpino from Kira."
The man answered calmly, he seemed not to care at all about the life and death of his 'former' subordinate.
Kira? Cassandra thought. It was the gateway to Delphi, home of the famous Oracle.
"Judging from your skills just now, you are an excellent mercenary. Are you interested in making a lot of drachmas?"
Kassandra listened to what the other party said, and then she noticed him Looking at her naked arms with fervent eyes, she raised her head, looked down the bridge of her nose, and looked at the other person with some contempt.
"I won't sleep with anyone for money. Besides, you are too old. Believe me, you can't stand my torture."
Elpino provoked Eyebrow. "Oh, don't get me wrong. What I want is not your body, at least it has nothing to do with this aspect of desire. I will provide you with a reward in exchange for a head."
"Kill?" Cassandra Then he withdrew his contemptuous gaze and nodded, "Then this is indeed a mercenary business, let's talk about it."
"A Spartan general with great prestige and reputation. People call him the 'Spartan Blood Wolf'."
Elpino said unhurriedly.
“You asked me to kill a general who led the Spartan army?”
“Generals are also human beings, and they can be killed even if they are human beings. And I have prepared a large sum of money for his death. "
"Huh, that's right."
Cassandra snorted confidently. This sentence suited her well. She was confident in her own skills and strength, and her Spartan education in her youth even made her seem conceited many times.
“So you plan to take on this mission?”
“You just need to tell me where he is.”
“Across the sea, the most fascinating place in the Greek world is In the coveted land.”
The meaningful words made Cassandra narrow her eyes.
She looked over Elpino's shoulder toward the eastern sky.
She thought of the haze of the maritime war, and the endless stream of Athenian fleets she saw on the roof of her house, sailing continuously towards the Gulf of Corinthia to strengthen Athens' defense... ...Is it Megaris?
That ‘blood wolf’ is in Megaris?
Elpino, a man who looked like a snake, seemed to have seen through Cassandra's thoughts and confirmed it.
“In the tug-of-war between Sparta and Athens, the narrow strip of land in the Megares region was the land link. Athens hoped the two ports would complete its naval lasso near Hylas , Sparta hopes that this land can be used as a bridge to Attica, allowing their scornful army soldiers to drive straight in. "Blood Wolf is a good general, it is undeniable, but he blocked my way. My business is harmful, so I have to get rid of him.”
"He blocked your way." Kassandra showed some curiosity, "This is too general. What on earth did he hinder you?"
"What did he hinder me? ? Come on, the whole Greek world is at each other's throats. If you can't clean up your own troubles, where did you come from? "
Facing Elpino? Ironically, Cassandra looked very down-to-earth and magnanimous: "Kefalonia."
I just don't understand, what's wrong?
This kind of 'sincerity' obviously made Elpino unable to be sarcastic anymore.
“So.?”
At the end, Elpino reached out to Cassandra. Those eyes still swept over those powerful arms covertly, making Cassandra feel like there was a snake crawling on her arms.
But for the reward, the wealthy life, and the vast world outside Kefalonia, Kassandra still held Elpino's forearm after a brief thought.
Two people hold each other's forearms and swing them up and down.
This represents friendship and the achievement of a common intention.
"I'll take this job, and I'll set off after I finish dealing with the one-eyed man."
Kassandra said crisply, then turned around and left, seemingly Act vigorously and resolutely.
But Elpino stood there, standing in the pool of blood of his men, watching her leave.
The eyes he looked at Cassandra were not full of lust, but the desire seemed almost the same as desire.
It was not until the figure of the Aegean beauty completely disappeared from sight that he regretfully moved his eyes away.
After a long time, several men wearing steel armor came here, and naturally began to clean up the situation for Elpino.
The craft of making iron has actually been studied by the Greek world in the era of Leonidas, but the output and quality have never been optimistic.
It can only be said that there is still a lot of room for development.
But on these people, the amount of armor they use does not appear to be cramped at all.
Vest-style steel body armor, leather skirt with steel armor, steel greaves, wrist armor, and a face-covering helmet with a grimace.
"Go and tell everyone that I have found Cassandra. And according to the plan, I fished her out of this remote place."
Elpino did not look back. He ordered the armored soldier standing quietly behind him.
The armored soldier made a note on a piece of papyrus and then put it away.
Then he didn’t take action immediately. Instead, he leaned close to Elpino’s ear and reported something in a low voice.
Elpino, who was originally as calm as a cold-blooded animal, slowly began to look interested while listening to the report.
"A new demigod bloodline? In Kefalonia? This is true"
"Do you want to confirm first?" The armored soldier cautiously suggested. "We have been misled by rumors many times. If we inform everyone without confirming it, will it have an impact on our prestige?"
"Yes, after all, we are intelligence actors in the organization. If It doesn’t look good if you’re wrong.”
Elpino nodded expressionlessly.
"I remember that there was a mercenary who came with our ship and was quite famous?"
"[Shine] Anyu, she has two brushes. She is now a guest at the One-Eyed Man. I heard that she wants to work in Kai Falonia takes a small job."
"Then let her kill the demigod bloodline. How much money will the one-eyed man get? If she succeeds, I can pay three times. , Needless to say, the target is a fake."
After giving the order, the armored soldier began to execute the order.
While Elpino murmured alone.
"I hope it's not a fake. The 'Eye of Order' and the 'Bloodline Admirers' need to improve their relationship. A demigod bloodline. Tsk, tsk, tsk, those idiots will be extremely happy."
