Chapter 499 500. Common sense about artifacts
“If you want to woo me, then I agree.”
Cassandra crossed her arms and looked at the witcher teasingly .
Lan En, on the other hand, has a calm expression. He is now very good at dealing with these beautiful women who are full of dirty jokes.
"You are beautiful, Cassandra. In another situation maybe what you said would have happened, but not now."
"You also know why I came to the one-eyed man. He gave me a name before he died. Elpino, it was he who called the mercenary who wanted to kill me from the one-eyed man's camp. This name is yours Do you have a clue?”
“Elpino?”
Kassandra, who was originally thinking of making two more dirty jokes, also frowned at this time.
"He is the one who gave me a big deal. Like you, he has only recently arrived in Kefalonia. This makes no sense. You two have nothing to do with each other at all. Why should he?" Kill you?”
“Who knows? Maybe it’s because of something mysterious.”
Lan En had no intention of guessing the reason here. Wouldn't it be easier to find the real owner and ask directly?
"Do you still know where he is now? If I want to kill him, I can make up for the reward he promised you."
"It has nothing to do with the reward. We are friends, Lan. If he wants to kill you, then I won’t work for him.”
Kassandra frowned and shook her head, looking a little embarrassed.
“What I’m worried about is that it’s basically impossible for someone like him to leave traces after things fail. I also told you that he came to Kefalonia from outside the city. He wants to leave Just get on the boat and it’s done, there’s no trace at all and it doesn’t take any time.”
In a fragmented geographical environment like the Greek world, it is really difficult to find a person after going out to sea.
The ability of the witcher to track can only stop at the port dock on the island.
"He entrusted you with a big deal." After thinking for a while, Lan En held his chin and came up with an idea. "After you finish the mission, he should tell you where to collect the bounty, right?"
"I know what you're thinking, you want to go there directly to block him? But it's not easy, he Calls himself 'Elpino of Kira', but I don't think this name should be taken seriously. Fergis is the location of the famous prophet-Pythia, where hundreds of people from the Greek world visit every day. People from all over the place gathered here, hoping to get prophecies from Pythia’s mouth.”
At this point, Cassandra smiled on her face.
"Let me see, why don't you complete this task with me, and then go to Elpino with the certificate. By then, he will definitely not avoid me."
Lan thought for a while After that, he nodded.
If he appeared in Fojis, Elpino would most likely avoid him. But if it was Cassandra who went to collect the bounty, he would be less wary and would be easy to find.
"It's settled, I'll finish your mission with you first. I'm really curious why that guy wanted to kill me."
After hearing that Lan En agreed to go with him, Ka Sandra's mood became noticeably brighter.
She shook her shoulders, and Icarus, who was standing on top, flapped his wings and flew around the sailing Adrestia.
The crew working on the deck occasionally saluted it.
Kassandra drew out from her waist the scimitar that Lan had thrown to her in the previous battle.
“This knife is really good, it must be mixed with good artifact fragments.”
Artifact fragments?
Lan immediately asked Mentos to open a new file in his mind. This was his first contact with local supernatural knowledge after coming to this world.
But on the surface, the witcher remained calm.
"This is the equipment of the mercenary who wanted to kill me. No, you don't need to give it back to me, just treat it as a gift to you. After all, I may kill your employer in the future." Kashan Della didn't care about Lan En's joke. After thanking him generously, he inserted the scimitar back into the leather strap around his waist.
"Thank you, you're welcome. This knife can increase the power of fire. I have never seen a weapon of this level in Kefalonia. It is almost only A little worse than my broken spear!”
Cassandra's fingers gently rubbed the blade of the scimitar at her waist, and it was obvious that she liked this powerful weapon.
And the performance of this scimitar in her hand also shows that this scimitar 'likes' her.
“Can you tell me about this weapon?”
Lan En’s hand rested on the wooden railing beside the boat. The Aegean Sea water would occasionally splash up, bringing a wave of Fresh moisture.
“I’m very curious about these things. As a reward, the mercenary actually left behind a pretty good bow.”
"Of course, no problem! But don't you have any artifacts there?"
"We rely on other things to fight there."
Lan quickly ignored the topic.
Cassandra has a generous and informal personality, so she doesn’t get entangled too much.
“Artifact fragments, that is, artifacts and fragments made by the gods, powerful blacksmiths can use these things to make magical protective gear and weapons. And only those deemed qualified by the gods , to use these things.”
Lan En thought of the extraordinary defensive power displayed by the female mercenary after his supersonic projectile hit Anyu.
Her skin and armor were broken, and her kidneys were also broken, but only her skin was intact, just bruised.
Lan suddenly raised his head and asked Cassandra.
“So when you were assassinating, you had clearly pierced someone else’s skull with a broken spear, but you still had to break the neck at the end. Are these unnecessary actions to deal with the protection of the artifact?”
"The artifact will make the warrior who can use it extremely powerful." Kassandra crossed her arms and stood next to Lan En.
"You can't imagine that I once stabbed a man in the kidney with my broken spear from behind. The wound was deep enough to fit into the entire palm of my hand. But the guy turned around and knocked me away, and then acted like nothing happened. He chased me with a big axe. It took a lot of effort to get rid of him."
Kassandra showed a fearless smile.
“Of course, at that time, my body was not as strong as it is now, and my skills were not as proficient as it is now. After that, for every person I assassinated, I would make sure to give him the maximum chance of success in the first contact. Hurt."
"Wise decision, you are good at learning lessons." Lan En praised Cassandra.
“But what about the trophies you got from killing that man? I didn’t see any good quality armor or anything else on you?”
Lan En still remembers the first time he met Cassandra. She only had burlap clothes, and she was punched in the nose by the gangster and had to raise her head to stop the bleeding.
“Although the artifact is magical, it will gradually lose its power in the confrontation with other artifacts.”
Cassandra spread her hands towards Lan En, indicating that she was not hiding it. She is not the type to keep good things at the bottom of the box.
"The armor was only left with a pile of rotten leather. This is why I said that the quality of this scimitar is good. It seems that it has not fought against several artifacts, so it is still very powerful. You He really managed to defeat that female mercenary without using any artifact!"
With a 'crack' sound, Cassandra took out her broken spear from behind again and looked at Lan En proudly.
"Of course, it's still not as good as my old buddy. I suspect that my Broken Spear may be the only one in the world that won't lose its power in confrontation with other artifacts!"
