Chapter 841 823. Hippocrates

“Heroes, demigods, trials. We can talk about these things later, Phoebe.”

A calm and beautiful female voice , came from the other side of the courtyard, and gradually approached.

“Stories in myths can be passed down for thousands of years, but now Athens can’t wait even a moment.”

“Aspasia.”

Lann and Kassandra both turned around, and the witcher nodded to the visitor and received a gift in return.

"I'm glad you're safe too, Lan En."

A pair of thick eyebrows seem to be carved by black stone, and the combination of the moving facial features makes her become a rational and calm person in addition to her beauty. appearance.

Wearing a long Greek dress, Pericles' lover and aide walked towards the two of them.

“It is a great encouragement to us that you can return to Athens at this time, even if it is just spiritual.”

Aspasia spoke to the two of them seriously and sincerely.

As a politician who can be praised by Pericles, Aspasia will be so sincere that no one can question it when she needs to show sincerity.

Lan En reached out his hand without leaving a trace and held down Cassandra who wanted to speak.

Kassandra is a top-notch warrior, but at the same time, she lacks sensitivity in some areas.

“We both came to Athens with something to do, as you heard. But now it depends on the situation”

Lan En stepped forward to negotiate with Aspasia.

"My friends probably have too much time to take care of themselves?"

"That's true." Aspasia frowned and shook her head sadly.

“No matter what you want to do in Athens, a city-state on the verge of collapse can’t do it.”

“And we, the people, now have no way to focus on anything but saving Athens. elsewhere.”

Aspasia turned sideways as she spoke, making a guiding gesture.

Lane and Cassandra followed naturally.

After walking a few steps, there is a series of rooms along the corridor of the courtyard of Pericles' mansion. During normal banquets, guests would have a wild night in these rooms after getting drunk.

Vomiting, drinking, vomiting again, ripping clothes, men and women, that sort of thing.

Now, these rooms are obviously being used for business.

Comedy masters Aristophanes, Socrates, Alcibiades, and a middle-aged man with bald hair that Lan En had never seen before were all frowning in the room.

Even if you exclude the middle-aged man that Lan En has never seen before, this room is equivalent to gathering the best minds and wisdom in the entire Athens.

Without any introduction from Aspasia, Cassandra had already called out the name of the bald middle-aged man.

“Hippocrates!”

The tone of the falconer seemed surprised. It seemed that she had a good impression of this person in previous contacts, so that she had a good impression of him. friendship.

Hippocrates, the founder of Western medicine.

Pioneeringly proposed the 'Four Humors Theory' of the human body in the nascent period of civilization, and his proposal for professional ethics for medical practitioners, also known as the "Hippocratic Oath", has been Spread to future generations.

Such a person, as long as he is not a particularly awkward person, will not have a bad feeling towards him. Cassandra is no exception.

When she was in Argolis, she received a lot of intelligence support from this doctor, and finally found the traces and clues left by her mother.

But now, the plague in Athens has greatly affected the doctor's mood and emotions. He had a gloomy face and just nodded to Cassandra's greetings.

It’s very different from the previous enthusiastic and helpful appearance.

But in the room, Alcibiades was as out-of-the-box and casual as ever. He was still wearing a robe that exposed his right shoulder and half of his chest. He wore a gold collar in the shape of an olive branch around his neck, and he was fanning himself with one piece or another.

It is also summer in the ancient Greek world. The Mediterranean climate has caused the temperature in Athens to rise to forty degrees, and the location near the sea can only bring humidity and heat, but no coolness at all.

But in this dull and depressed atmosphere, as Lan lowered his head and entered the door, Alcibiades's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.

"Ah! At this suffocating moment! My muse!"

Generally speaking, 'muse' refers to the goddess by default and is used to praise the beauty of women.

But this was Alcibiades, and his eyes were not on Cassandra, but on Lan.

Originally, these people were standing around a large wooden table, discussing things. Now Alcibiades unceremoniously used his butt to push away Aristophanes who was blocking the front, and rubbed towards Lan En.

"I'm so surprised, Lan En! How come you're still wearing such strong clothes on such a hot day? Come on, I still have the robe you wore in my room. Let's change clothes first. Ouch, ouch! ”

But before Alcibiades could reach out his hand towards Lan En, Cassandra grabbed Alcibiades' white hair with an expressionless expression.

And pulled further away step by step.

Alcibiades knew very well how capable the falconer was in fighting, so he, who was always smart and aware of current affairs, did not resist at all, but howled every time he was dragged away.

Use this alternative method to urge Cassandra to be gentle.

In the end, Alcibiades was pulled away from Lan En by his hair.

"Hey, Cassandra! Why are you so lonely? Believe me, it's very comfortable in a crowd!"

"No." The falconer smiled and rejected Alcibiades, folding his arms. It looked like it was non-negotiable.

"I'm used to waiting until I'm full before sharing and changing my tricks, thank you."

Flannel Ball blinked and stared at this scene in a daze.

Fubo next to him thought it was cute and clicked on its helmet.

"Hey, kitten! Lan En even put on armor for you!"

"I'm not a cat!" Velvet Ball held down his helmet to prevent it from being tilted by Fu Bai. Amid the stunned expressions of everyone in the room, he clarified his identity.

“I’m Elu, Cat Meow!”

“Cats can talk?”

Socrates murmured first, and then became excited. Smiled.

"Aha! This is an intelligence beyond human beings!"

"What is Elu Cat? Lan En?"

Aspasia was also stunned and turned towards the demon hunter The person cautiously took a few steps closer, but kept staring at the flannel ball.

Lan En shook his head: "It's no big deal. The magical cat I met during the journey is now traveling together."

Considering the current atmosphere, Lan En chose someone who could be loved by others. A more acceptable statement.

This was also Cassandra's first reaction at the time.

Sure enough, after having a ‘reasonable’ explanation, everyone in the room immediately accepted most of it.

After all, Lan En and Kassandra brought the bodies of the Minotaur and the Bearman into the city of Athens in front of the entire city.

The processed corpse is still enshrined in the Parthenon.

"Flannel Ball, please go outside to communicate with Fu Bai first. The things you two have practiced are pretty much the same. Fu Bai's progress may be higher than yours."
