Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 492 493. Cooperation

"Wow, he looks so beautiful in the sun, doesn't he, Icarus?"

Kassandra whispered with a smile without looking back.

And her eagle glided quietly, landed on the corner of the cage room containing the wild wolf, and let out a low cry.

It seems to be in agreement.

But then, Cassandra turned her gaze down the hillside and landed on Icarus, her face becoming disgusted.

"Of course, don't think that you'll be fine just by trying to please me! No way! This time I almost got caught because you weren't serious!"

"Life has gotten better these days, and you have learned to enjoy slacking off, right? From the sky, you only see people, not beasts?"

Icarus gave a guilty 'chirp' and turned his head away.

"Hey! Look at me! I'm lecturing!"

Kassandra put her hands on her hips and looked angrily at the eagle sitting on the corner of the cage.

"Okay, then don't even think about eating roasted quail for the next ten days! Give me some fish! Not roasted! Live fish without any spices!"

So the eagle started to stand there and jump.

"Uh, are you communicating here?"

Lan En came down from the hillside and entered the port.

He was now watching in confusion as Cassandra scolded the eagle.

"This is still within the enemy's camp, right? Isn't it a bit unsafe to be so public?"

His voice was still deliberately lowered when he spoke.

But after Cassandra scolded Icarus, she turned around and gave him a warm smile.

"Don't be nervous, Lan En. I've taken care of everyone in this area. As long as it's not too noisy and the sound reaches the other side of the dock, it'll be fine."

"Are you sure?" Lan En raised his brows and looked down at Cassandra with his arms crossed, "I remember that I was the one who settled the trouble for you just now."

So Cassandra's face froze, and she turned around to take a sharp look at Icarus, who was combing his feathers.

Then he turned around again and managed to maintain a smile: "Icarus has been overeating recently and is not in good condition."

In other words, when you are in good condition, you can spot all the targets in the entire camp without missing a beat?

Lan En secretly estimated Cassandra's ability.

This kind of detection ability is rarely efficient even among demon hunters.

And judging from Cassandra's appearance, she has great trust in the effect of this ability, which means that its reliability is second to none.

Powers through Icarus. They both have some kind of telepathy?

"Why are you here? I remember you promised Fu Bai to deal with the plague."

Kassandra leaned against the wall and looked at Lan En with her arms folded.

"If I remember correctly, you don't seem to have any conflicts with the one-eyed man. You just arrived here and you just killed two of his men, and no one knows about it yet."

In response to this question, Lan En calmly shook his head.

"The plague is no longer a problem. There are only seven people alive in the village now, and they have all recovered. And the holiday between me and the one-eyed man, haha. Look at this."

With that said, Lan took out the papyrus from his pocket and handed it to Cassandra.

"There was a very powerful female mercenary who ambushed me on the way I passed. This was the only clue I found from her."

"I'm a new comer from outside. As you said, I didn't even have a chance to provoke anyone. But someone hired such an expensive-looking mercenary to kill me. This made me so sad. I’m curious.”

"Who can control their curiosity? I had to come."

Cassandra listened to Lan En's story of the incident while reading the contents on the papyrus.

"Malaka! The one-eyed man wants to kill Marcos! The moneylender wants to kill the debtor. It seems that I really pissed him off. This guy doesn't even want to pay for it."

"Thank you, Lan. You saved the life of that scoundrel Marcos. But have you ever thought that it was your former enemies who came after you?"

Cassandra first thanked her in a very sincere tone. It seemed that she really cared about the 'scoundrel' in her mouth.

Then, she raised her eyes and looked at Lan En again.

"For someone like you, I don't believe that you have never made enemies before?"

For the sake of an ordinary little girl whom he had just met, he was able to attack and kill the bandits belonging to the local gangsters.

Oh, such a person has everything going smoothly in such a world, I guess even legends would not dare to write about it like this.

However, Lan En's answer was beyond Cassandra's expectations.

The young man was determined and confident and said without hesitation: "No."

"I don't have any enemies in this world."

Didn't you kill all your enemies?

Kassandra almost blurted out these words.

But her rationality still allowed her to successfully control her mouth.

"Then it seems we have a common goal."

Kassandra smiled and stretched out her arms towards Lan.

"We can go find trouble with the one-eyed man together."

The witcher raised his eyebrows, stepped forward, held Cassandra's forearm, and shook it up and down.

"Nice to work with, Cassandra."

Icarus flew into the sky again, while Cassandra and Lan simply gave up their plan to sneak into the sky.

Both of them feel that the other is not simple, so why should they be cautious now that the other has come to help?

Just act recklessly and that’s it!

So a man and a woman, side by side, walked swaggering towards the pier, which was still wailing and roaring.

——

Barnabas shouted in vain, bubbles rushing to his ears as his mouth opened and closed. The dull sound he made when he begged for mercy from underwater sounded very strange, as if it came from another world.

His hands were tied behind his back, and the rope was cut into his skin due to his struggle, and the place where he was tied was dripping with blood. Water rushed in from his mouth and nose, worming its way into his throat like a snake.

And to make matters worse, as the air rushed from his lungs and his body screamed for oxygen, the infamous one-eyed man held him in place with his wide, thick palms.

The distance between his nose and mouth from the water is only four to five centimeters, but in this big pot, the distance of four to five centimeters cuts off all oxygen to him.

Flashes of light and blur began to appear in front of his eyes, which was caused by delirium due to lack of oxygen, and also indicated that his physical condition was approaching the limit.

And suddenly, everything changed. The fleshy palm suddenly released his head, and the water in the jar became quiet. His tied-up gray hair and beard swayed like the tentacles of an octopus, throwing water splashes around.

He blinked, retched, and panted as he looked at the giant carrying him, who also looked at him with his one eye.

"All the gods are my witnesses! I swear!"

Even before his mind was clear, Barnabas began to defend himself again under the instinct of survival.

Fight for that slim chance of survival.
