Chapter 839 821. Consumption Speech
Kassandra took out the knife from her waist and handed it to Lan En to see.
Because the swords of this era were in the early stages of civilization, there was no convergence in form due to roughly the same battlefield conditions, at least not seriously.
Therefore, all kinds of weird-shaped weapons can be turned into their own unique weapons in the hands of the blacksmiths of each city-state.
The knife in Cassandra's hand looks similar to a watermelon knife, with a straight, pointless head and a thick back.
But the golden light on this knife seemed a little dim even in Cassandra's hand.
When Lan En left last time, Kassandra still used the Spartan sword she got from her father, [Spartan Blood Wolf].
That was the top equipment that Sparta took out from the treasury and distributed to the leading generals.
There cannot be too few artifact fragments used in forging.
But even so, Cassandra still used at least two artifacts in a year and a half.
If it continues to be consumed at this rate, the artifact fragments in this world, which are the 'remaining technological materials of the Isu people', will probably be consumed by the Middle Ages.
"It always feels like your equipment is wearing out very quickly."
Lan En looked at the broken spear hanging with the bow and arrow on Cassandra's back.
"Is the Spear of Leonidas okay?"
"My Broken Spear is not on the same level as other artifacts." Cassandra seemed very confident about this.
She said as she easily took off the broken spear that had been upgraded twice and became much more gorgeous from behind, and twirled it in her hand.
“I don’t think the strength of the Broken Spear has declined, so don’t worry.”
Lan En nodded indifferently.
In fact, Cassandra's use of the artifact was worn out too quickly, which was not a problem in his opinion.
Even if the Isu technology is used up, the magic equipment will still be enough.
Anyway, Cassandra's own qualities are here to be seen. The warrior herself is strong enough and can be used with any equipment.
"Now, let's go to Pericles's mansion and have a look."
Lan grabbed the flannel ball and put it on his shoulder as he walked.
——
Pericles’ mansion, Lan En has been here many times.
At that time, he became famous in the city of Athens, and Socrates and others liked to talk and communicate with him.
Alcibiades, the adopted son of Pericles, was so enthusiastic that Lan En was somewhat kept at arm's length.
So he comes here many times to attend banquets.
Especially before he left last time, Harpalos randomly used the [Ankh Cross] to create a mixture of humans and beasts, and was dragged into the city of Athens by Lan En to complete the crusade against Ares believers. of credentials.
Those mixtures are regarded as mythical monsters, and people respect and fear them.
It was also from that time that the names of "Falcon Tamer" and "Son of the Titan" spread to the entire Greek world through Athens' trade routes and shipping. Even in Persia, you can occasionally hear this myth-like story.
People began to recognize that [Falcon Tamer] and [Son of Titan] were demigods walking in the world.
They will embark on a heroic journey that is watched over by the gods just like Hercules and Perseus.
I heard that the corpses were enshrined in the Parthenon by Pericles and were dried and embalmed.
Aimed to remind people to remember the majesty of myths and gods.
In the street in front of Pericles' house, indeed, as Phidias said, many opponents were crowded.
Poor people in rags, rich people in luxurious clothes but pale faces, citizens, slaves.
All kinds of people are full of anger and want the consul to explain the plague and calm it down confusion.
People couldn’t stop coughing and vomiting. Occasionally, some patients who have reached the final stage of the disease have large scabs on their bodies after the rashes have ruptured, and the high body temperature makes them start to tear their clothes uncontrollably.
Too crazy to be human.
This place has become a large petri dish of plague.
But even so, people without common sense and experience still gathered together, as if expressing their anger was more important than anything else.
At the intersection in front of Pericles' house, Cleon set up a simple small stage, danced and launched his accusation against Pericles in a passionate voice.
The people in the crowd who still retained consciousness were all fanned with red eyes, as if Pericles had summoned the plague.
In fact, this is exactly what Cleon said.
"Pericles is ungrateful!"
Cleon spread his arms widely, opened his eyes wide and uttered violent remarks to the crowd below.
“Yes, our great archon built the Parthenon, and he also brought countless flowers, tributes, and incense to show his piety to the great Athena ."
"But. Is this what the great Athena wants to see?"
Cleon stood on tiptoes, leaned forward, and raised one hand to point at the eye-catching huge bronze statue of Athena in the Acropolis.
“Our goddess is the god of wisdom, but she is also the goddess of war!”
“It was Pericles who avoided fighting the barbaric Spartans and instead took the precious This cowardly behavior angered the goddess, which is why the plague is raging in this great city!”
“It’s time to face reality, noble and rational citizens of Athens! If we don’t remove Pericles, this cowardly dictator, we won’t be able to win Athena’s forgiveness!”
“Of course, please don’t blame our consul, after all, he is so cowardly. He is born with a heart. He is to blame for the curse that has plagued our great city!”
Lan En, who was standing on the street, raised the corner of his mouth in displeasure and made a 'tsk' sound.
"I hate this kind of guy who plays with emotions and plays with them more and more now. It's disgusting."
"Let's find Pericles first." Cassandra took the photo Patting Lan En's arm to comfort him, he took the lead and approached the courtyard wall of the mansion.
"It doesn't matter whether you're crazy or not. This is a matter for the Athenians. We are not citizens of Athens."
After saying that, she looked back at Lan En with some uncertainty.
"Uh, aren't you?"
After all, Lan En had been very familiar with many famous people in Athens before, and he was very happy. He is also famous.
For ordinary people, becoming an Athenian citizen is an unattainable luxury.
But for Lan, as long as he is willing, Pericles may be able to arrange it immediately.
“No, I am not a citizen of Athens either.”
After receiving the answer, Cassandra shrugged, turned around and jumped into the courtyard of the mansion.
Lan En threw the flannel ball over first, and the kitten was still a little confused when it was in mid-air.
Then he jumped in himself.
As soon as they entered Pericles' mansion, the obviously abnormal behavior of the two people and the cat caused a small panic.
And because of this little panic, on the eaves of the courtyard, another pair of figures were quietly approaching here
