Chapter 498 499. [Falcon Tamer] Mythical Creature

Barnabas was still wet and looking a little slovenly. He turned to Cassandra and Lan on the deck and stared at them. Then he fell to his knees, like a cloak dropped to the ground.

He stared at Cassandra and Lann with awe in his eyes.

"In my travels, I have met some people who claim to have the blood of the gods flowing in their bodies. But it is easy and cheap to make lies. I think to truly judge a person requires observation. Their behavior. But you two were the ones who convinced me for the first time that this was the case."

Lane hid aside and stood against the wooden railing of the ship.

Icarus landed on Cassandra's shoulder from the sky, and she waved her hand, signaling Barnabas to stand up.

"Before being so polite, should we introduce ourselves first?"

"Ah! That's how it should be!" The old man woke up from a dream, and he managed to get wet. hair and collar.

"I am Barnabas, the captain of the Adrestia."

"Thank you very much! I have been wandering at sea all my life. If I really died on land just now That would be shameful.”

"You're welcome, Barnabas. I'm Cassandra, a mercenary."

Cassandra smiled cheerfully, and then shook hands with Barnabas. . Then he tilted his head and looked at Lan En, who was standing aside.

The witcher said he had received the signal, so he also waved to Barnabas.

"Hello, I am Lan En, I am also a mercenary."

He is not used to being kneeled down, but he does not resist meeting new friends.

Barnabas' familiarity seemed to make it easy for him to deal with Lan En's personality. The old man walked up to Lan En very enthusiastically, laughed and gave him a strong bear hug.

It's like an old friend I haven't seen in a long time.

This made Lan En feel a little at a loss.

"Oh ho ho! My friends, you must be more than just two mercenaries!"

He slapped Lan En's back hard.

"The one-eyed man pressed me into the water, I prayed to the gods, and then he pulled me out. Guess what happened next? You guys showed up!"

"This is a coincidence." Lan En So saying.

"You prayed, and I answered you." was Cassandra's answer.

Lan looked at Cassandra with some surprise, and what he saw was Cassandra's confident and proud eyes.

She may not necessarily think that she is a god, but she thinks that she has the ability to answer the prayers of others.

A woman who is so confident that she is dazzling.

Lan En thought so in his heart.

"Haha! It seems that the mythical stories are true, even you will have differences."

Barnabas laughed happily, feeling like a We are in the midst of a wonderful drama.

"Stop teasing us, Barnabas. Tell me how you got into trouble with the one-eyed man?" Lan En patted the old man on the shoulder, pointing to his soaked hair and collar, "He Although it is cruel, it is not like this for every captain who comes to Kefalonia, right?”

Having said this, Barnabas sighed deeply.

“Actually, what happened with the one-eyed man was a misunderstanding. I recently enjoyed delicious food at a tavern by Sami’s pier. It’s better to say it’s eating than drinking. I was in high spirits after drinking. , I decided to tell the locals a story about a past voyage, about something I saw on the island.” Just a second after I mentioned the word 'one-eyed monster', my head was pressed into the cauldron filled with water."

"Yeah, the one-eyed man is more... concerned. In that case." An irrepressible smile appeared on Cassandra's lips. Lan En's interest is more focused on the sailing stories from Barnabas' mouth.

"You mentioned the 'one-eyed monster'? On which island was it a beast with one eye blind?"

"Beast? No, no, no, Lan En. Although my eyesight is dim, but at that time I was A smart and capable man, I know what a beast is and what a 'monster' is."

"You want to hear a story, Lan En? Of course, everyone wants to hear a story. And let me tell you this. I won’t get tired of telling the story ten thousand times.”

Barnabas’s only eye flashed with reminiscence, and his tone sounded cautious and fearful.

“My brother and I were captains of the Athenian fleet, but then we were involved in a siege. Poseidon’s wrath destroyed our entire fleet, and it was that night that I saw it .”

In an era when information dissemination is still underdeveloped, storytelling can attract attention. Cassandra, for example, is also attracted by the story now.

"It? What did you see?"

"Ah, when Poseidon unleashes his wrath, he can stir up more than just the wind and rain."

Baal Nabas lowered his voice and said.

"I see his beast, his cruel pet!"

While speaking, his remaining eyes scanned the surrounding sea, as if he was wary of something.

"Few will believe my words, but this blind eye is forever proof. As my punishment for seeing Poseidon's pet and living to spread the story."

said After all this, Lan En and Cassandra fell silent. Apparently, neither of them expected Barnabas's story to be of this type.

They thought that the other party would at most tell a story about the Athenian military or a desert island adventure. Unexpectedly, this well-informed old captain immediately revealed that he was Poseidon's pet. Is this a mythical creature?

Fortunately, Barnabas himself does not seem prepared to say any more. He let out a sigh of relief.

"I owe you my life. There is no doubt that all the crew members escaped death because of you. However, apart from offering my loyalty to you two, I can't think of any other way to repay your life-saving grace." "

"It's enough if you lend me the boat for a while." Kassandra thought about her mission.

“A journey?” asked the old captain. “I will take you anywhere, Falconer. Even to the edge of the world, if necessary!”

Tampering Eagle Man, this is what Adrestia's crew calls Kassandra.

The eagle is the bird of the gods, and in the battle just now, Icarus helped Cassandra directly catch and kill a gangster. This is where the name "Falcon Tamer" comes from.

"What about you, Lan? What are your plans?"

Barnabas turned his head and looked at the witcher.

"Do you also have somewhere you want to go? We'd better coordinate. I want to repay you, but if your itineraries are inconsistent, I only have one boat."

"No "Don't think about me yet, Barnabas. My schedule has not been decided yet."

Lan smiled and waved his hand.

"Can I be alone with Cassandra for a while? I have something to discuss with her."

The old captain looked at the man and then the woman, shrugged indifferently and walked to the deck. other side.
