Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 500 501. Sailing

Lan En understood why he couldn't use these magical things. Because according to Cassandra, he was not 'approved by the gods'.

In other words, is there really a god in this world? They create artifacts and shards, and then choose users for those things?

That's what Cassandra meant, but Lan always felt something was wrong.

"Come on, continue."

After saying hello, Lan En took out the longbow obtained from Anyu's corpse and threw it to Cassandra.

The falconer smoothly picked up the longbow in mid-air. Sure enough, after this mediocre weapon in Lan En's hand came into Cassandra's hand, the green lines engraved on the bow began to glow slightly, obviously in operation.

Cassandra drew the bow string with ease while looking at the calm and gentle demon hunter in surprise.

"Where did you get this bow?"

Although this bow is not heavy, it will be conspicuous if you want to carry it. Kassandra was sure that in all the times she had looked at Lan, she had never seen anything like this on him.

Faced with Cassandra's question, Lan just spread his hands. Cassandra also smiled and asked no more questions.

She drew an arrow from her quiver, then placed it on the bowstring, slowly drawing it to full capacity.

The sun on the sea shines on her skin, and with the very powerful bow-drawing action, her muscles roll and swell under the skin.

Bodybuilding, and seems to have the divinity like a sculptural art.

At the moment when the bowstring was fully drawn, green smoke suddenly appeared from the arrowhead.

Just like the situation used by Anyu at that time.

Under Lan En's observation, small green crystals with extremely high technical content were generated out of thin air on the arrow clusters and attached to them.

It seems that Anyu's poisonous explosive arrows and her green crystals were obtained from this bow.

Not only is this a ranged weapon, it's also a green crystal generator.

"It's amazing."

Lan En looked at the bow and sighed in a low voice.

"But where did the artifact shard come from, Cassandra?"

"What?"

"I mean, these magical weapons and protective gear are the result of highly skilled blacksmiths applying artifact fragments or the artifact itself, right? So where do the artifact fragments as raw materials come from? It's like making a Zhang Gong, the raw materials wood grow from the ground, they must have a source, right?"

Kassandra said matter-of-factly: "Of course it was made by the gods."

"Then how did they get into the hands of humans? The priests of the temple are responsible for receiving them?"

Cassandra waved her hand carelessly.

"Please, even the most famous priest in the Greek world would never see the gods many times in his life. These fragments were discovered by humans or inherited from the hero's ancestors."

By digging?

This statement was obviously beyond Lan En's expectations, so much so that he was a little stunned.

In this case, humans in this world are more like discoverers and re-utilizers of these powers rather than inventors.

"But, digging ruins will eventually lead to a hollowing out, right? Moreover, the artifacts will lose their power after fighting against each other. If this continues, won't the artifacts become less and less as time goes by, and eventually disappear completely?"

Cassandra obviously has not thought about the issue of artifacts from this direction.

After all, in her previous life, she was just a mercenary who was good at fighting and happy to fight.

In her opinion, this kind of issue seems to be something that the wise men, priests, and governors in the city-state should consider.

"Probably. No?"

Cassandra herself said unsurely.

"There are always a lot of fragments, and not many people can use the artifact."

"Maybe." Lan En said with a shrug. "After all, I'm just a foreigner who doesn't understand much. Maybe I thought wrong, maybe this day is still far away."

The group sailed around Kefalonia to the port of Sami, where they stayed for several days. Barnabas's crew purchased rations and supplies and prepared for the journey ahead. From time to time, there were people on the ship running back and forth on the gangplank carrying bulging sacks.

Lan En leaned on the side of the boat and looked at this small island in the Aegean Sea.

White beaches shaped by the sun, waves and wind, as well as the iconic white rocks of the Aegean Sea, can be seen everywhere here. Even the ground is mainly white.

And those flowers and plants, because of the white ground, make their colors more prominent. The sea water is also clearer and bluer because of the white coastline.

From Lan En's point of view, the color saturation of the picture in front of him was very comfortable.

Cassandra, like him, had one elbow propped on the side of the boat, surrounded by the sounds of people talking on the dock, the screeching of seagulls, and the clinking of glasses from the nearby tavern, but her thoughts were already wandering to to the sea.

Suddenly, brisk footsteps sounded on the deck behind the two of them, and the wooden boards creaked with the footsteps. "I'm ready," Furber said breathlessly, "I've packed everything."

Cassandra sighed, and Lane glanced at her. It seemed that she was depressed in anticipation of this situation.

"I'm not going to take you with me, Fubo."

Cassandra knelt down and looked levelly at the girl in front of her.

"Wherever I want to go, whatever I want to do, I can't take you with me."

"Is it really not possible?"

Fu Bai lowered his head. There was not only loss in his voice, but also fear for the future. She and Cassandra were about to separate, a future she had never imagined.

At this moment, Cassandra felt something pressing in her hand. It was Furber's toy wooden eagle.

"Then you take Chara away," Fubo said, "That way, no matter where you go, Chara will be with you, just like I am with you."

"Fortunately, Lan En can accompany you." Fu Bai raised his head and glanced at the young man. "He was the first one I saw. He is my patron saint. I will give him to you now."

"Hey, don't tell me like I'm an object, okay?"

Lan En tilted his head and looked down at the little girl, muttering dissatisfiedly.

"But, it seems you also want to go to sea?"

Fu Bai suddenly raised her head in surprise. She seemed to hear some signs of surprise in Lan En's tone.

"Of course! Of course!"

She has been taken care of by Cassandra since she was a child, so she naturally targets Cassandra. Kefalonia is too young to let go of their hearts.

Eager for adventure and eager to make life exciting, Kassandra took care of Furbo very much like herself.

"That's not to say that we can't follow. I can take care of her for a while. She doesn't look like someone who will just stay quietly after we leave."

Lan nodded towards Cassandra.

"After dealing with Elpino's matter, I will probably get off the ship and find an interesting place to visit. Athens is good, I am very interested. Phoebe can be my guide. Isn't she from Athens? And you You can also go to Athens to find her then.”

The little girl pumped her fist happily and said 'woohoo! ’ of celebration.

Cassandra also seemed to feel a lot more relaxed. She looked at Lan En with a smile and nodded towards him.

Then, a man with naturally curly hair and a somewhat muscular body came over.

He spoke with a funny accent and used exaggerated tone and gestures to ask for a farewell hug from Cassandra.

Apparently, this is Marcos.

"Please! Give me another hug before you leave!"

He opened his arms to Cassandra.

The falconer smiled helplessly: "Okay, come here."

The two hugged each other.

After Kassandra settled the only two people she cared about on the island, the Adrestia untied its moorings and sailed into the blue Aegean Sea.
