Chapter 834 816. Phidias
It turns out that while Lann was adventuring in various different worlds, Cassandra's life was also quite legendary.
Now, not only is the Cult of Kosmos entangled in Greece, but there is also the Ancient Order, which sounds like it has taken control of the Persian Empire.
The Persian Empire was not of the same size as the Greek region. This was the first empire in human history that spanned the three continental plates of Asia, Europe, and Africa.
In this budding era of human civilization, we cannot say it is the ‘strongest’, but we can undoubtedly say it is the ‘biggest’.
The Isu, and the artifacts they left behind, have left too many variables in this world that makes Lan En feel specious.
“But it seems that the place you went to is really new.”
Kassandra nodded her thumb behind her and looked at Lan En.
“A cat wearing armor and equipped with two swords?”
“Just now I saw on the corpses of the two dogs, there were traces of swords on their backs. They really knew how to use them. Sword?”
Cassandra's words made the flannel ball that followed timidly raise a little paw.
“That meow is not a cat, it’s Ellu.”
The cat’s clipping sound made Cassandra’s eyes widen and she turned her head, looking at the flannel ball in surprise.
This was the first time she heard a cat talking.
Kassandra walked to the flannel ball, put her hands under her armpits and raised it in front of her.
"The cat spoke!? Lan En, is this some kind of mythical beast? Warcraft? What's its name?"
The flannel ball's short legs fluttered in the air, but it couldn't do anything to Cassandra's arm. He could only ask Lan En for help with his big watery eyes.
"It introduced itself just now." Lan En walked over, took the flannel ball from Cassandra's hand, and placed it on the ground again.
Kassandra put her hands on her hips and kept looking at it curiously.
"Flannel Ball is a member of a race called Elu cats, and is a smart cat person. Now it is similar to my attendant. I teach it skills, and it will follow me to help. Yes. Friends, not pets.”
"Don't stare so hard, it's a little shy. There will be more strange things to see in the future."
"That's right." Kassandra still put her hands on the strong and strong body. On the waist, but his eyes turned from the kitten to Lan En.
“It looks like the days ahead will be exciting, I like it like this!”
“If you take this kitten to the ship now, Barnabas might just give it to you You put it on the altar."
Lan En raised his eyes and thought for a moment, that old captain who was passionate, loyal, generous, but very pious to the gods. He probably could really do this.
The witcher shook his head.
"Then I think it's better to stay in the city of Athens."
After talking about the city of Athens, Lan and Kassandra's expressions became solemn again.
The infatuated atmosphere and joy of meeting again just now even overcame the bad environment in Athens today.
But now the topic has been brought back.
"I have something to ask for help when I come here this time. Remember the [Cross of Life] we got last time? I need your help to make it start working."
Lan En looked at the dim sky in the sky of smoke and ashes, he told Cassandra.
“I don’t want the surrounding environment to be so unstable when we use the Isu artifact.”
“We can go find Pericles.” Cassandra nodded. . "Now that the city of Athens has become like this, he is a consul, so he should know the ins and outs."
But Lan En rejected this idea very simply.
"He should know what's going on best, but I don't want to go to a person at the center of the whirlpool right now."
Lan Enyi pointedly raised his eyebrows at the sluggish and absent-minded patient on the roadside. Lift your chin.
It must be reiterated that the ancient Greek era was the early stage of human civilization. People here believed that everything was arranged by the gods. They have no idea how the disease spreads, and most have no experience at all. Because people who have experienced the plague have basically no chance of surviving.
They don’t even have the concept of ‘isolation’.
After the plague began, it was far more likely that the rulers would gather patients and ordinary people together in front of the temple to pray than they would manage them separately.
In the eyes of today's people, it is not that the plague will spread, causing the number of sick people to increase, but that the gods have issued large-scale punishments, affecting many people.
In this case, the excited Athenians would naturally go to the person in charge.
Who else could it be?
Of course it is Pericles, the 'Father of Democracy' who built the Parthenon.
It is conceivable that Pericles' official residence is probably crowded now.
Lan En is a demon hunter, and ordinary diseases that have not been specially treated have no effect on him.
Looking at the energetic looks of those urban wild dogs, it is obvious that this disease does not have the ability to spread across species, so Fluffy Ball and Icarus need not worry.
But what about Cassandra? Lann wasn't sure if her Isu blood made her immune to all diseases.
In unknown situations, it is best to play it safe.
"We have to find someone who has a certain status but will not be noticed by the crowd at this time to understand the situation."
Lan En murmured in thought.
Cassandra was waiting with a smile. Lan En's expression made her feel like she had gone back to a year and a half ago, when the two of them faced and solved difficulties together.
And soon, Lan En came to the conclusion.
"Phidias. Let's go find him."
A well-known sculptor and artist may be quite noticeable in normal times. But in the face of such a catastrophe, the influence is obviously more than one level smaller.
But at the same time, Lan also knew from previous contacts that Phidias had a good personal relationship with Pericles and was even a member of his staff.
Such people must be better informed than the general public and know the whole story.
"Phidias? Let me look for it"
After hearing Lan En's decision, Kassandra's eyes went blank, and at the same time, Icarus, who had been flying in the sky, let out a cry Cry.
Her vision connected to the eagle's body.
After a while, Icarus found his target in the dim sky.
Kassandra's absent-minded gaze refocused.
“He is in his studio now.”
Phidias’s studio requires a lot of fine marble raw materials, which are shipped to Athens by sea, so His studio is not far from the port of Piraeus.
"Then let's go find him."
Lan En said simply, while running towards the wall of the residence next to the street.
After adjusting his breathing, his strong muscles and bones allowed him to directly touch the roof and eaves of this two-story house without even stepping on the wall to use force.
Then turn over.
He doesn't want to wander around in the alley now, it would be a waste of time.
Although it was a joy to reunite with Cassandra as soon as they arrived in Athens, Lan En did not forget one thing -
Forbe was still in Athens too!
