Chapter 520 521. Go to Athens
Finding someone is always difficult.
This kind of separation is separated by decades in time and almost across the Aegean Sea in space. Even in the technological age of advanced information, the probability of success is slim.
Enough to make people feel real despair.
The more you care about the lost person, the more desperate the seeker will be.
Cassandra is a very family-oriented person, and Lan En can feel it during this period of contact with her.
For example, she cares about Fu Bai very much.
Although sometimes she teased and laughed at Fu Bai's bumps and bruises in training, this was more due to the cruelty of education in this era than because she didn't care.
The cruelty of the mercenary career made Cassandra care more about her family.
So the priority Cassandra gave to undecided matters was not beyond Lan En's expectation.
Because he knew that Cassandra was such a person.
"Then, we may have to part ways for a while, Cassandra."
While handing the black robe and theatrical mask to Cassandra, the witcher said Said rather regretfully.
“I don’t think a prophet or oracle who is famous in the Greek world and has hundreds of people coming to seek advice every day has any real ability. If she is really capable, then there should be more people in the Greek world every day. It would be appropriate to talk about several famous figures, but there are none now. "
"You have to go find her and ask where your mother is. But for me, I am. I even want to find the [blood worshipers] mentioned by Elpino, or other members of the cult, to see what conspiracy they have against me.”
After a brief silence, Cassandra looked at Lan En's face and nodded.
"I understand." She stretched out her hand, held each other's forearm with Lan En, and then shook it up and down.
"Our goals are now different, I can only wish you a smooth journey."
"But do you have a goal? You can't just wander around, hoping that members of the cult will collide with each other. "Go?"
"Athens," Lan said softly, letting go of Cassandra's hand.
"It was a model city of civilization and trade in the Greek world. I think since there are big businessmen like Elpino among the members of the cult, it is impossible to bypass the city-state of Athens. In the final analysis, they still rely on drachma and power. Come and form an organization. They must have someone stationed there, or simply have a base."
As he said that, Lan En also showed a dazzling smile to Cassandra, which made the other party unable to help herself. Feeling dizzy.
"Don't be sad, Cassandra. I have a hunch that sooner or later you will have to go to Athens. There are people there who have gathered from all over the Greek world to find your mother. This city-state you I have to go. Besides"
"You have to come and see Fu Bai, right?"
Yes, Fu Bai's training was taught by Lan En. When he went to sea, it was Lan En who took over the responsibility of taking care of the little girl.
Kassandra suddenly felt a burst of joy in her heart, but she couldn't tell whether it was because she would see Phoebe in Athens in the future, or because of something else.
So, the two people hugged each other generously, and Lan En followed the road in the town and started back to the port.
Cassandra was on the roof of Villa Elpino. She didn't turn around until she saw the figure disappear from sight, then went up the mountain to follow the group of pilgrims.
Lane arrived on the deck of the Adrestia.
While at anchor, Barnabas, a pious man, had gone up the mountain on a pilgrimage to the Pythia.
The sailors on the ship also have their own fun.
They either gambled with the sailors of other ships on the dock, or spent their own savings in the port.
Including but not limited to tooth beating ceremony, releasing repressed desires, etc.
Ports have always been a good place to do these businesses.
But Fubo is much simpler than these sailors. She jumps up and down on the mast of the ship, showing an extraordinary lightness.
After gaining extraordinary knowledge, she was like an Internet-addicted teenager, quite addicted to it.
"Come down and get ready to leave, Fubo!"
Lan En did not get on the boat, but just shouted to the girl at the port. After the girl on the mast heard the greeting, she waved to him happily, and then climbed down from the thick wooden pole on her hands and knees.
Finally, nearly three meters away from the deck, he let go of his hands and fell straight down.
The crew members on the Adrestia were calm, but the eyes of those passing by at the port widened.
They thought the little girl was about to fall out.
Three meters high, this is already a height where landing with incorrect posture can kill you!
But there is no doubt that Fubai likes to take risks, but he is not stupid at all.
She fell down lightly, as if the rough linen clothes were filled with wind.
It was a performance similar to that of an acrobat, which earned Furber a small round of applause in the harbor and made her cheeks flush.
She jumped up to Lan En, only to see the witcher looking at her feet.
“If you had been breathing erratically for half a beat just now, you would have stepped on these leather sandals. I wonder if you have been a little too energetic recently?”
Didn’t you say? Is high energy a good thing?
Fu Bai muttered in his heart.
But when it came to her mouth, she said worriedly: "Will the broken shoes affect the training? How about I buy another pair? I brought my savings from Kefalonia! If it is too expensive, how about I buy it? Cassandra will cushion it for me first?”
Lan shook his head indifferently.
“Just buy a pair of shoes, treat it as a gift from me. But don’t expect Cassandra to pay you in advance. It’s time for the two of us to take the first step.”
“ What?”
The little girl looked up at Lan En in shock.
"Now our goals are different." Lan En responded to Fu Bai's question calmly.
“Everyone has their own goals and priorities. If there are differences, we can only do this first.”
“But I haven’t said goodbye to Cassandra yet!” Fubo shouted loudly. shouted. "Will we meet again? Where are we going? This is too sudden!"
In an era of inconvenient transportation, a farewell may be the last time we see each other in life.
So Fubai's performance was very exciting.
However, Lan En calmed the little girl's emotions with a few words.
"Don't be excited, it's just a brief disagreement. We are going to Athens for business, and Cassandra is going to find her lost mother."
"You know, right? Looking for someone like this The more people ask about it, the more fun it will be. Sooner or later she will go to Athens."
Fubai breathed a sigh of relief.
In this era, the situation of parting once and never seeing each other again is largely due to the reason that "the other person died on the road".
But Fubo didn't believe that Cassandra would have an accident.
She also didn’t believe that Lan En and herself, who was being taken care of by Lan En, would have an accident.
So this ‘goodbye in Athens’ has become an established matter in her eyes, and there is no need to worry at all.
Athens was the cultural focus and trade focus of the entire Greek world.
Finding a boat to Athens in Forgis is easy.
So after a while, Lan En and Fu Bai were able to board the merchant ship sailing to Athens.
