Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 478 478. The God in the Cave

 At noon, Lan En's clothes, as well as the things he poured out of the alchemical leather bag that needed to be dried, were finally dried again.

“The Grandmaster suit uses more steel, which actually makes it easier to dry out than the previous equipment.”

 After all, steel does not absorb or retain water.

Lan En complained as he put on the heavy armor again.

This gave him some sense of security again.

 After carefully cleaning Cassandra's yard, Lan turned around and left.

 If someone provides a place for themselves, then after using it, they have to help others restore it to its original state. Lan En is a measured person.

 In this day and age, stepping out of the yard is equivalent to walking into the wilderness.

 At noon, the temperature was getting higher and higher. Lan walked through a meadow full of violets, and the air was filled with the fragrance of oregano and wild lemon trees.

If Lann hadn't been surprisingly tolerant of heat, his current armor would have been enough to give him heatstroke and dehydration in this climate.

Mediterranean civilization's armor with extremely limited body coverage is the result of fully adapting to the local climate.

 The generally hot temperatures here do not support people wearing safer protective equipment for exercise.

Kefalonia is indeed, as Cassandra said, a small and poor island.

 The port and town on the island are called Sami.

The town has no walls and is filled with wallless shacks and simple white houses surrounded by a cluster of raised marble villas. Rich people in Greek robes chatted and drank on rooftops and balconies. Horses and shirtless, sweaty workers toil in narrow alleys and crowded markets, hauling olive crops and pine logs toward the docks.

The bells rang, the whips crackled, the lyre played beautiful music, the faint scent of roses and the smoke rising from the temple.

A corner of the prestigious ancient Greek civilization was displayed in front of me, which made Lan En, a former history buff, a little excited.

At the same time, his appearance also caused people in this town to talk a lot.

Just like when Fulber first met Lan En.

Although the people here did not see his miraculous appearance coming out of the gap where the celestial spheres met, they believed that he was a demigod who came down from Mount Olympus.

But he is already close to two meters tall, has perfect body proportions, and is wearing an armor that is extremely thick and has high coverage that no local has ever seen before. Anyone can tell that this guy is from outside. Strange stranger.

At first, the laborers working at the dock saw that Lan En could not walk.

Then this silent gaze spread out like a sound wave. Later, even the rich people drinking and having fun on the balcony of the marble villa poked their heads out from the edge of the balcony, hoping to see something new.

Lan En noticed the signs of commotion he caused in time, so he did not enter the town, but quickly escaped with his skills.

 “Are they making too much of a fuss?”

 Looking at the crowd of people in the market who had not dispersed from a distance, Lan En scratched his head.

Mentos said: "This is normal, sir. You have to consider that even though the ancient Greek civilization was a maritime civilization, most people still never set their horizons dozens of kilometers away in their lives. What do you think? For them, it is indeed a 'rare object' that comes right in front of them, and they would be at a loss if they don't look at it."

ˆ “.”

Lan En was speechless and choked.

In the magical world, even if a witcher enters a city, in most cases people just stay away and spit to get rid of bad luck.

Have never seen anything like this.

“Okay, okay, it looks like I have to adapt to the change from ‘plague god’ to ‘star’? It’s really interesting.”

 “That’s what it looks like, sir.”

 Mentos actually still has some ancient Greek history that Lan En read when he was a student. It is very unrestrained? Describes people's love for men with good looks and strong bodies in this era?

Biological Brain believes that even if Lan En didn't wear this outfit, he might not attract any less attention than he does now. But now it is hesitating whether to transmit this part of the content to the main body. After all, if a layer of reality filter is applied to the scenes, it will be a bit exciting.

Lan didn’t know the tangle of biological brains. He was now changing directions, preparing to figure out the situation in Kefalonia first.

　　Not to mention finding out the information about the one-eyed man who has already formed a dispute, at least you have to understand the local customs, habits and taboos, otherwise it will not be a good idea to do something that offends others without thinking.

Not long after Lan En left the town, he happened to encounter an opportunity.

 “You look bad, what happened?”

Lan En tentatively asked a man sitting frustratedly on a big rock.

This is a gap between mountains, and there is a cave in the innermost part of the gap. This is the most rugged landform on the island.

This man with a frustrated face was dressed in Mediterranean civilian clothing, including a linen skirt, a belt, and leather sandals.

 As Lan En expected, people in this state have no time to look at ‘rare objects’.

People in the town were chasing the armor and the people wearing it. He just raised his eyes for a moment and then lowered his head again and sighed.

 “I think I’ve offended them and offended the gods!”

 “Did you do something bad then?”

 “Bad thing? I don’t know what I did to make them unhappy”

Facing Lan En’s question, the man looked helpless and frustrated.

"I have worshiped Hermes in this cave before. As you know, the gods sometimes come to the cave."

Lan tilted his head, looked past the man, and looked into the cave, with a hesitant look on his face.

 “Maybe there is a **** in the cave?”

"Don't believe it! If you go in with tribute, they will let you get what you want! So many people come here to make offerings and pray for something in exchange."

The man argued hard for the gods in the cave, but then he fell back down again.

"Although I didn't get anything in exchange. I have already exchanged all my property for tribute to them, but I am a poor man! This must be something I did wrong."

Lan En rubbed his chin, not sure how he should talk to such a devout believer.

 After all, he himself does not believe in God.

 The man seemed to have firmed up some belief after speaking. He raised his head and looked at Lan En.

“You are a mercenary, right? Mercenaries can solve problems for others, that’s what everyone says.”

 “Strictly speaking, you can indeed describe my career that way.”

 “Then I want to ask you to solve my troubles.”

Lan En stretched out a hand from his folded hands and spread it out to signal the other party to continue.

"I want you to go to the cave to listen to the voices of the gods and their teachings. If you can hear them, I will give you the last remaining tribute! I just want to know if they are there!"

 “If this is your last obsession, then I will go and take a look at it for you.”

Lan agreed, and at the same time he also wanted to know what the manifestations of the Greek gods were in this world where supernatural forces obviously existed.

"Thank you, mercenary. Be careful when you go in. After all, you are stepping on sacred ground!"
