"Great, wonderful." A voice said.

Kassandra stopped and looked at the man who had come out of the hut in the camp.

The man in front of him was as clean as a seagull, his light brown hair combed forward, the azure blue robe he wore unexpectedly fitted, the robe was obliquely covered with several conspicuous gold stripes, and his thin neck and wrists were adorned with many bracelets and ornaments.

None of those things are cheap, this is a rich man.

And as we all know, there are few rich people on the island of Kephallonia.

The man walked over to the archer, who was not yet dead, looked down at the man who was struggling and twitching on the ground, and then drew his dagger from his waist.

Naturally, as if he had sliced chicken with a knife, he rested his dagger under the archer's neck and pulled it smoothly.

A pool of blood flowed from under the torn skin, and the convulsive body fell into dead silence.

The man, on the other hand, seemed to be very disgusted, pinched the short sword with a few fingers, and rested lightly on the ground.

"Even for a mercenary, wipe the neck of the person you work with," Kassandra watched the other man's movements coldly and warily, "and you're a little too cold-blooded. ”

The man, on the other hand, patted his hands quite 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? ”

Kassandra scratched her head slightly in embarrassment, and her braids shook her left shoulder.

Marcos told him that it was one of the One-Eyed men, and that she had come and killed them all, but now she looked. Killed the wrong person?

When she acts, she has always been very good at giving people a chance to speak, and she will not even give people a chance to discover herself.

And now, after all the people have been killed, she realizes that she has killed the wrong person.

"I'm Elpino from Kira."

The man replied calmly, seemingly indifferent to the lives of his 'former' subordinates.

Kira? Kassandra thought. It was the gateway to Delphi, the seat of the famous oracle.

"Judging by your skills, you're a good mercenary. Interested in making a big drachma? ”

Kassandra listened to what the other had to say, and then she noticed the feverish look in the other man's eyes as he looked at her bare arms, and she raised her head and looked at her with contempt as she looked at the bridge of her nose.

"I'm not going to sleep with someone for money. Besides, you're getting older, and trust me, you can't stand my toss. ”

Elpino raised an eyebrow. "Oh, don't get me wrong. I don't want your body, at least not in that regard. I pay you in exchange for a head. ”

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

"A Spartan general, very prestigious and famous, people called him 'Spartan Blood Wolf'."

Elpino said unhurriedly.

"You're going to let me kill a general who leads a Spartan army?"

"Generals are also human beings, and human beings can be killed. And I have a large amount of money to pay for his death. ”

"Hmph, that's a good point."

Kassandra snorted confidently. This was a very good thing to her appetite, she was confident in her skills and strength, and her young Spartan education even made her seem conceited at many times.

"So you're going to take on this task?"

"You just have to tell me where he is."

"Across the sea, in the most coveted land of the Greek world."

The words made Kassandra's eyes narrow.

Her gaze crossed Elpino's shoulder and looked out toward the eastern sky.

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

That 'blood wolf' in Megaris?

Elpino, a man who felt like a snake, seemed to see through Kassandra's thoughts and gave it his approval.

"In the tug-of-war between Sparta and Athens, the narrow strip of land in the region of Mergaris was the overland link. Athens wanted the two ports to complete their naval lasso near Hellas, and Sparta wanted the land to serve as a bridge to Attica, allowing them to drive their army soldiers straight in. ”

"Blood Wolf is a good general, there's no denying it. But he's in my way and it's bad for my business, so I have to get rid of him. ”

"In your way." Kassandra showed some curiosity, "That's too general, what is he doing to you?" ”

"What's in my way? Please, now the whole Greek world is pinching each other's necks, and if you can't clean up your own troubles, you will be cleaned up. Where the hell did you get the frog at the bottom of the well? ”

In the face of Elpino's sarcasm, Kassandra appears very down-to-earth and open: "Kephalonia. ”

I just don't know, what's wrong?

This kind of 'sincerity' obviously makes Elpino no longer able to be sarcastic.

"So.?"

At the end, Elpino stretched out his hand at Kassand. The eyes still swept invisibly over the powerful arms, making Kassandra feel like a snake crawling on her arms.

But for the sake of the honorarium, the affluence of life, and the vast world beyond Kephallonia, Kassandra grasped Elpino's small arm after a brief thought.

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

This represents friendship and a common intention.

"I'll take this job, and I'll leave when I'm done dealing with the one-eyed mess first."

Kassandra said crisply, then turned away, looking striking.

Elpino stood still, in a pool of blood under his own hands, watching her leave.

The eyes he looked at Kassandra were not filled with lust, but the desire seemed almost the same as desire.

It wasn't until the figure of the Aegean beauty completely disappeared from view that he looked away with pity.

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

The art of making iron was actually studied in the Greek world in the time of Leonidas, but the production and quality have not been optimistic.

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

And on the bodies of these people, the amount of their armor does not seem cramped at all.

Vest-style steel armor, leather skirt armor with steel armor, steel shin armor, wrist armor, and a covered helmet made of grimaces.

"Go tell everyone that I've found Kassandra. And according to the plan, I fished her out of this backwood. ”

Without looking back, Elpino instructed the ironclad soldier who was standing quietly behind him.

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

Then he didn't act immediately, but leaned close to Elpino's ear and whispered something.

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

"A new demigod bloodline? Right in Kephalonia? It's really"

"Do you want to confirm first?" The ironclad soldier cautiously gave advice. "We've been misled by rumors many times. If we don't confirm it, it will affect our prestige, right? ”

"Yes, after all, we are the role of intelligence in the organization, and it won't look good if we get it wrong."

Elpino nodded expressionlessly.

"I remember coming with our ship, and there was a mercenary who was quite famous?"

"[Shine] Anyu, she has two brushes. I'm a guest at the One-Eyed Man right now, and I've heard that I'm going to take a small job in Kephallonia. ”

"Then let her slaughter that demigod bloodline, so that the one-eyed man can have a few dollars? I can come out three times. If she succeeds, the target is needless to say a fake. ”

After the order, the ironclad soldier began to carry out the order.

And Elpino muttered alone.

"I hope it's not a fake." The Eyes of Order and the 'Bloodline Worshippers' are in need of an improved relationship with a demigod bloodline. Tsk tsk, those idiots are going to be too happy. ”
