Chapter 524 525. Alcibiades
The so-called ‘trained footsteps’ can be easily heard by the ears of an expert.
Even if the training methods are different and the combat concepts are different, as long as the battlefield environment is still a fight between people, there will always be similarities.
The steps should not be too jumpy or frivolous. It is best to keep close to the ground at all times, so that you can push on the ground at any time to exert force and use it as an emergency response.
But don’t be too stiff, because tight muscles cannot have good explosive power, and it will be too late to use your steps to change your position in an unexpected situation.
Therefore, the footsteps next to the port warehouse made Lan En immediately realize that a guy with good skills, or at least someone who had received strict training, was approaching.
Adhering to the principle of 'sending Buddha to the West', Lan En did not leave his employer alone just because he had collected the money.
He stretched out his hand to stop Petulus behind him, and looked quietly in the direction of the footsteps.
What was not unexpected was that an exquisitely crafted Athenian dagger stretched out from the corner first. This sword looked very valuable.
But then, what was unexpected was: after the dagger poked out of the corner, the man with the sword followed.
He was a handsome-looking man with delicate and fair skin, slightly highlighted muscle contours.
He has fluffy white shawl hair, and a mole under his right eye makes him look a bit coquettish. And he seemed to have used some cosmetics from this era to decorate his already handsome face.
The most important thing is: he is not wearing armor, even the simplest armor. There is only a robe that exposes the right arm and half of the chest.
This really doesn’t look like a gangster.
And the reality was just as Lan En expected.
The man poked his head out and took a look. At first glance he saw the thugs lying on the ground, and at second glance he saw Petulus and Lan En.
Then he immediately threw away the expensive-looking sword in his hand, like a toy he didn't like but had to pick up, and walked quickly towards this side.
"Oh! Petulus! Hot beauty! I came over as soon as I heard that you were going to contact the gang. Are you okay?"
The person who came here used a He said hello exaggeratedly in a nondescript and glib tone.
Lan En didn’t know if this was the habit of upper-class Athenians who were influenced by drama and entertainment, so he just raised his eyebrows but did not complain.
However, although this man was shouting Petulus's name sweetly, his eyes were directly scanning Lan En's body from bottom to top, inch by inch.
Petulus obviously knew the people who came here, because although he didn't look happy, he wasn't nervous at all.
"Alcibiades, the mercenaries I hired have taken care of this place. Just stop pestering me. I don't like sleeping with men. I've reiterated this to you many times, okay!" "
"You are a bit too old-fashioned, my dear."
Alcibiades said sadly while fiddling with a golden olive branch collar around his neck.
"The gods separated the human body into two genders, but you don't want to go to bed with a man. This means that you have lost half of the joy of bed!"
Peturus turned and left, only to In the middle of turning around, he waved his hands as a farewell.
Lan En felt a little bad, so he turned around with his eyes level, as if he hadn't seen the man under his eyes, and was about to turn around and leave.
But it is obvious that Alcibiades has now completely abandoned his sexual interest in Petulus.
It was as if he was not doing it for that man when he lurked into the dangerous gang stronghold with a sword.
"Are you a mercenary? Really or not? I just couldn't find a beautiful and capable mercenary, so I had no choice but to come here with my sword." Alcibiades' expensive sandals rustled on the sandy road. He had to keep his steps tight to keep up with Lan's pace.
But at this moment, he was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he was filled with joy that he could follow Lan En.
With a "gumble" sound, Alcibiades' Adam's apple swallowed unconsciously.
"How much did Petulus pay you? Do you have fifty drachmas? According to me, let your noble hands do the dirty work, no matter what, you have to triple it! I am him Friend, how about I pay the difference?”
Alcibiades chattered beside him for a while, and even followed after leaving the port area.
Lan En stopped helplessly and sighed.
"If I say that, like Petulus, I don't want to sleep with men, can you leave me alone?"
Alcibiades clasped his hands in front of his chest, The eyes are sincere.
“Oh, you obviously know the answer, honey.”
Lan En pinched his eyebrows with his hand.
He had thought about striking up a conversation with a powerful person in Athens. The frivolous guy in front of me, who seems to be full of lust, is certainly one of them.
First of all, he is very rich. Normally, people who join the army prepare their own weapons and armor. When his father joined the army, he directly prepared a fleet and became the fleet commander.
Secondly, his father was the brother of Pericles, who was the nephew of the current consul of Athens. And after his father died, he essentially became Pericles' adopted son.
With this identity, and the attention he gained from the people in the city of Athens due to his good looks and 'open' personality, he was a very important figure no matter what.
But the problem is that in the history Lan En knows, although Alcibiades is dissolute and fun-loving, he appears as a politician and military strategist.
And when it came to the real contact
To be honest, Lan En was a little afraid to talk to him.
“If I knew that [The Son of Titan] had come to Athens from Megaris, how could I not issue a generous commission instead of stupidly coming here with a sword?”
Alcibiades leaned on the marble edge of a city flower bed and said, but his eyes never left Lan En's profile for a moment.
"[Son of the Titan]? What is that?"
"They say your tall body proves your bloodline. But you seem to be taller and stronger than the rumors say!"
While talking, Alcibiades was still a little excited.
But it’s normal. Lan En’s body shape has stabilized during the time he took the boat to Athens. He officially reached 2.5 meters naked, and 2.6 meters after wearing armor.
Even with a one-eyed man's physique, he is now more than half a head shorter than Lan En.
It has been several months since he had the [Bone Strengthening Organ] implanted, and the super metabolism brought by the [Second Heart] has greatly accelerated the strengthening process.
Now when he moves the muscles of his upper body, he can even feel the ribs that have been extended and closed like shutters, rubbing against each other like biting scales.
His bone strengthening is nearing completion, and all the armor accessories Berengar prepared for him have been used.
