Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 487 487. Commission: Blood Wolf

 “Excellent, excellent,” said a voice.

 Kassandra stopped and looked at the man walking out of the small room in the camp.

The man in front of him was as clean as a seagull, his light brown hair was combed forward, and the blue robe he wore unexpectedly fit him well. There were several conspicuous golden stripes diagonally on the robe, and his thin neck and wrists were Wear many bracelets and accessories.

Those things are not cheap, this is a rich man.

As we all know, there are few wealthy people on the island of Kefalonia.

The man walked up to the archer who was still alive, looked down at the man struggling and twitching on the ground, and then pulled out his short sword from his waist.

Naturally, like cutting a roasted chicken with a knife, he placed the dagger under the archer's neck, and then pulled it smoothly.

 A pool of blood flowed from under the cut skin, and the twitching body fell into deathly silence.

The man, as if he was very disgusted, held the dagger with a few fingers and placed it gently on the ground.

"Even for a mercenary, wiping the necks of those who work with you," Kassandra looked at the other party's actions coldly and warily, "what you did is a bit too cold-blooded."

The man clapped his hands that were not dirty very naturally: "They don't work with me, they work for me."

"Working for you? You weren't hired by the one-eyed man. Who are you?"

 At this point, Cassandra scratched her head in embarrassment, causing her braid to tremble on her left shoulder.

 Marcos told him that these were the men of the One-Eyed Man, so she came over and killed them all one by one, but now it looks like she killed the wrong person?

 When she was acting, she never gave people a chance to speak, or even a chance to find herself.

But now, after killing all the people, she realized that she had killed them wrongly.

 “I am Elpino from Kira.”

 The man answered calmly. He didn't seem to care at all about the life or death of his 'former' subordinate.

  Kira? Cassandra thought. It was the gateway to Delphi, home of the famous Oracle.

"Judging from your skills just now, you are an excellent mercenary. Are you interested in making a lot of drachmas?"

Cassandra listened to what the other party said, and then she noticed the enthusiastic look in the other party's eyes when he looked at her bare arms. She raised her head, her eyes followed the bridge of her nose, and looked at the other party with some contempt.

"I won't sleep with anyone for money. Besides, you are old. Trust me, you can't stand my troubles."

Elpino raised his eyebrows. "Oh, don't get me wrong. What I want is not your body, at least it has nothing to do with this aspect of desire. I will provide you with a reward in exchange for a head."

"Killing?" Kassandra withdrew her contemptuous gaze and nodded, "Then this is indeed a mercenary business, let's talk about it."

"A Spartan general with great prestige and reputation. People called him the 'Spartan Blood Wolf'."

Elpino said calmly.

 “You want me to kill a general who leads the Spartan army?”

“Generals are also human beings, and they can be killed as long as they are human beings. And I have prepared a large sum of money for his death.”

 “Hmph, that’s right.”

Cassandra snorted very confidently. This sentence suited her well. She was confident in her own skills and strength, and her Spartan education in her youth even made her seem conceited many times.

 “So you plan to take on this task?”

 “You just need to tell me where he is.”

 “Across the sea, in the most coveted land in the Greek world.”

These meaningful words made Cassandra's eyes narrow.

She looked over Elpino's shoulder toward the eastern sky.

She thought of the haze of war at sea, and the endless stream of Athenian fleets she saw on the roof of her house, sailing towards the Gulf of Corinthia to strengthen Athens' defense... Is it Megaris?

That ‘blood wolf’ is in Megaris?

Elpino, a man who felt like a snake, seemed to have seen through Cassandra's thoughts and confirmed it.

“In the tug-of-war between Sparta and Athens, the narrow strip of land in the Megares region served as the land link. Athens wanted the two ports to complete its naval lasso near Hylas, and Sparta wanted This land can serve as a bridge to Attica, allowing the scornful army warriors to drive straight in."       "Blood Wolf is a good general, there is no denying it. But he blocks my way and is harmful to my business, so I have to get rid of him."

“He blocked your way.” Kassandra showed some curiosity. “This is too general. What exactly is he blocking your way?”

“What’s wrong with me? Please, the whole Greek world is at each other’s throats now. If you can’t clean up your own troubles, they will be cleaned up. Where did you get the frog in the well?”

Facing Elpino’s sarcasm, Kassandra seemed very down-to-earth and magnanimous: “Kefalonia.”

 I just don’t have any knowledge, what’s wrong?

This kind of ‘sincerity’ obviously makes Elpino unable to be sarcastic anymore.

"So.?"

 At last, Elpino extended his hand to Cassandra. Those eyes still swept over those powerful arms covertly, making Cassandra feel like there was a snake crawling on her arms.

But for the reward, the wealthy life, and the vast world beyond Kefalonia, Kassandra still held Elpino's forearm after a brief thought.

 Two people hold each other's forearms and swing them up and down.

This represents friendship and reaching a common intention.

"I'll take this job and set off after I finish dealing with the one-eyed man."

Cassandra said crisply, then turned and left, appearing vigorous and resolute.

But Elpino stood there, standing in the pool of blood of his men, watching her leave.

The eyes he looked at Cassandra were not full of lust, but the desire seemed almost the same as desire.

 It was not until the figure of the Aegean beauty completely disappeared from sight that he regretfully moved his eyes away.

After a long time, several men wearing steel armor arrived here, and naturally began to clean up the situation for Elpino.

The craft of making iron has actually been studied in the Greek world during the time of Leonidas, but the output and quality have never been optimistic.

 It can only be said that there is still a lot of room for development.

 But on these people, the amount of armor they used did not appear to be cramped at all.

Vest-style steel body armor, leather skirt with steel armor, steel greaves, wrist armor, and a face-covering helmet with a grimace.

“Go and tell everyone that I have found Cassandra. And according to the plan, I fished her out of this remote place.”

Without looking back, Elpino gave instructions to the armored soldiers standing quietly behind him.

The armored soldier made a note on a piece of papyrus and then put it away.

 Then he did not take action immediately. Instead, he leaned close to Elpino's ear and reported something in a low voice.

Elpino, who was originally as calm as a cold-blooded animal, slowly began to look interested while listening to the report.

“A new lineage of demigods? In Kefalonia? This is true”

“Do you want to confirm first?” the armored soldier cautiously suggested. "We have been misled by rumors many times. If we spread the word to everyone without confirming it, wouldn't it have an impact on our prestige?"

“Yes, after all, we are the intelligence role in the organization. It will not look good if we make a mistake.”

Elpino nodded expressionlessly.

“I remember that there was a mercenary who came with our ship and was quite famous?”

"[Shine] Anyu, she has two brushes. She is currently visiting the One-Eyed Man, and I heard she wants to take a small job in Kefalonia."

"Then let her kill that demigod bloodline. How much money will the one-eyed man get? I can pay three times. If she succeeds, the target will be a fake, needless to say."

After giving the instructions, the armored soldiers began to execute the orders.

While Elpino muttered alone.

"I hope it's not a fake. The relationship between the 'Eye of Order' and the 'Bloodline Worshipers' needs to be improved, a demigod bloodline. Tsk, tsk, tsk, those idiots will be extremely happy."
