Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 845 827. Ankh Cross

 Lane left the room with Cassandra.

 Because they were not Athenians, this reason was very convincing as a reason to leave.

 After all, Lan En has made a considerable contribution to this plague with his wisdom and knowledge.

“Whenever I feel that I have become a fearless warrior, I will always encounter such things that cannot be solved by simple force, such as plague, conspiracy, and family members who cannot be found.”

Kassandra's Amazon boots made a crisp sound as they stepped on the marble steps of Pericles' mansion.

“It seems like the gods always like to remind me that I am still here on earth, a mortal.”

Seeing that Cassandra seemed a little depressed, Lan comforted her.

“We are all mortals, and we can only do what mortals can do.”

The two of them looked out at the sky from the patio of Pericles's house with emotion. The smoke and dust over Athens covered the sun.

Although Kefalonia is a remote place, and Marcos, who brought Cassandra up, is also considered unreliable, this environment at least did not turn Cassandra into a typical Spartan: ruthless. Classical militaristic soldier.

  The witcher took out the [Ankh Cross] from the alchemical leather bag on his waist and placed it in Cassandra's hand.

The warm and unrestrained sunshine of the Mediterranean Sea turned into a lifeless dim yellow after passing through a layer of smoke and dust.

“She’s looking at Pericles now. I can’t drag her and ask her to help, right?”

 Kassandra let out a long breath, put her hands on her hips and sighed to Lan En.

After the falconer took it, the thing immediately changed from the calm posture it had in Lan En's hand, as if it was suddenly charged.

"Hey! You can't hit me, flannel ball! I only learned [Light Body], but I didn't learn how to fight!"

And those marble sculptures that have been painted are even more gloomy and sad.

 In a real battle, Fubai is considered dead.

On the other side of the patio, Fu Bai was "chasing and playing" with Velvet Ball. It's just that each of them has a cat's body, and their ability to move in complex terrain is more agile and faster than a real cat.

The five- to six-meter-high marble sculptures on the street, with white and graceful shapes, also dimmed under the light.

 Fauber seems to have really not been lazy in the past year and a half, and his talent has always been online, so even with the small weight of the flannel ball and the structure of the recurved legs, she is still leading the way.

 “Oh, I’m sorry, meow, I don’t know either!”

Kassandra and Lan's melancholy quickly dissipated a lot in the play between one person and one cat.

It’s just that after all, Velvet Ball is an Elu cat heading towards the goal of being a ‘warrior’. Basically, he instinctively used the sheathed long sword to lightly stab Fubai a few times, taking advantage of its length.

 The delicate reliefs and engravings on the cross slowly shimmered with golden light.

As far as movement ability is concerned, it is no worse than those ordinary ninjas who come and go in Ashina Country.

 Kassandra is aggressive and proactive, cunning and domineering when fighting. But he is still very empathetic when dealing with his friends.

“Well, it seems that until Athens is stable, I can’t expect to get information about my mother from Aspasia.”

Lann looked at Cassandra and smiled, and the two of them walked slowly in the mansion together.

“My things have to wait, but you said you came over this time to ask for my help, tell me?”

With Lan En’s other hand, he took out a preservation bottle. What floats in the preservation solution in the bottle is a leaf-like nerve bundle and secretory glands.

  The first of the three surgeries unique to Primaris Space Marines - [Song Gland].

"That's it. Do you remember the monsters Harpalos created when the two of us defeated him?" Kassandra found the situation at that time from her memories without much effort.

 After all, the dark and cold cave, as well as the half-human, half-animal monsters inside, left a deep impression on this beauty raised in the Aegean Sea.

 This is the first time in her life that she has seen "snow".

“You and Herodotus concluded that the monsters were transformed by this artifact created by the Egyptian gods.”

 “Indeed.”

Lane did not directly reveal his plan at the beginning. After all, putting something into his body might seem a bit deviant to people of Cassandra's era.

“You try to see if you can apply it first. I want to know what it looks like when it is actually used.”

 Kassandra shrugged indifferently.

Then, as if due to the transportation and contamination of energy, the golden light on the Ankh cross went up Cassandra's arm, and finally reflected a golden light on her eyes.

 It seems to have a divinity that does not belong to human beings.

Cassandra's eyes full of golden light looked around, and then walked to the edge of the cylindrical marble corridor in the mansion.

Beside the pillars of Pericles's house, there is a calf-high clay vase filled with moist soil and bright flower branches.

 It is basically a branch of light purple flowers, paired with a pink flower, occupying a vase.

Kassandra held the Ankh cross in one hand and raised it in the other hand, facing the direction of the flower pot.

Then a burst of soft golden light floated out from the hand she held up, and enveloped the vase.

 It only lasted a short time. After the golden light dissipated, a strange scene suddenly appeared in the vase.

There is no trace of splicing, but the upper half of the light purple flower branch and the upper half of the pink flower branch grow on each other so naturally.

 Other than the difference in flower color, there are no signs of artificiality at all in the changing boundaries.

Kassandra put down her arms, and the golden light on her body and eyes instantly returned to the Ankh Cross, and her whole body suddenly changed from a state of full energy to one with her hands on her knees and breathing heavily.

She herself was a little surprised that she had become so tired in such a short period of time.

Lan En walked to the vase under the colonnade and broke off the two swapped flower branches with his hands.

Hold the fracture in front of your eyes and observe carefully.

 “The fibers, veins, and tracheal passages all fit together, sir.”

Mentos made an assessment in his mind for this ‘super-tech surgery’.

"Based on Miss Cassandra's level of knowledge, I assume that she herself has absolutely no knowledge of these plant organs. And the only way to do this so naturally and perfectly is"

 “It can only be the Ankh Cross itself.”

Before Mentos could finish speaking, Lan En was already looking at the broken flower branch in his hand and murmuring.

“The first civilization’s intelligent surgical device. The level of intelligence is so high!”

So does Kassandra, and so does Harpalos.

 They have no understanding of animal bodies and plant organs, but the Ankh cross can still make the limbs they want to transform and connect neatly.

 This is also the key to allowing Lan En to proceed with the operation with peace of mind.
