514. Guardians

Kassandra pulled her broken spear from Ikanos' neck and flicked it lightly, and all the blood on the broken spear was shaken off, and not a drop stuck to the broken spear.

"It's easy, it's so lucrative, maybe I should go hunt down more mercenaries?"

She muttered to herself as she pulled out a large money bag from Icanos's body. Inside was a full load of drachmas, which was the honorarium given to him by Athens after Icanos took over the mission.

And now, of course, these things are not in his hands.

Kassandra also took Ikanos' full-covered metal helmet, which was the source of his protection.

It's just that after fighting against the broken spear and being breached, the luster on the helmet looks a lot duller.

But even so, the helmet should be able to sell for a decent amount of drachmas.

Neither the Athenian nor Spartan armies would refuse an artifact.

Originally, Sparta's childhood would make her care about honor extremely. But the subsequent upheaval made her not as stubborn as the Spartans.

So Kassandra squeezed her helmet in her left arm and slipped her money bag in her right hand, and walked to Ran, who was still teaching Faber, with a relaxed face.

"And then."

With a 'snap', Lan En caught the money bag in mid-air without looking back.

"It's not difficult to assassinate this time, but you have to get a copy if you help."

Kassandra said this, and Rann didn't excuse herself.

The witcher looked at the corpse inside with his helmet off, the mercenary who, with his wits and planning, had stirred up the Spartans of the entire region of Megaris and looked not very old.

At this moment, on his young face, a pair of eyes were closed by Kassandra. And before that, Len guessed that he must be dead.

He was ambitious, capable, intelligent, and determined, and perhaps the war was seen by him as a stepping stone for the fight for Athenian citizenship and thus a transformation into a politician.

And now, his body lay on the cold marble floor of the temple of Athena, unconscious.

"Don't think about it, Lanne."

Kassandra seemed to see what the witcher was thinking, and she said lightly.

"He does have a lot of potential, his strength and reflexes are far from the peak of his life, and he may be able to get a few more artifacts in the future. But no matter how promising he is, don't think about how powerful he will be in the end. ā€

"He clashed with our goal, and at this moment he met us, and then he died. That's it. The potential to die is not considered potential. ā€

"I don't feel that much." Lane waved his hand at Kassandra, "It's just a pity, I'd like to see how strong he can be in the end." ā€

"And then back to business, Miss Fauber."

The witcher turned his head back from the mercenary's corpse and grabbed Fauber by the back of the neck as he tried to slip away, pulling her in front of him.

"Tell me, let me see what's going on with you?"

Facing the amber cat's eyes, the little girl sneered and shrunk her neck.

"I—I just helped out!.right?"

At first she could speak with confidence, but at the end, she looked at Kassandra with a weak heart.

Kassandra looked at her and smiled wickedly.

"Ah, although all the people in this temple were killed by the two of us, although there were only two people left in this room, although these two people didn't last more than twenty seconds even if there was an 'emergency' with me and Lanen, but you think you helped. Well, in a sense, you did make the two of us relax after work, and that's fine. ā€

"Hey! Cassandra! ā€

Fauberger was like a caught kitten in Lan's hands, and he was complaining to Kassandra in dissatisfaction.

Kassandra, who had long regarded herself as Fauber's caregiver, didn't care at all about the little girl's complaints, but asked Rann with interest.

"She rushed out just now and moved very quickly, like a bobcat, can you tell me what's going on?"

Lan En scratched his cheeks, feeling a bit like a thug who had taught someone else's child badly.

"Well, I taught her something by the way, she's a good talent and a quick learner."

"Where's that loud and loud thing?"

"It's a gadget I gave her to defend herself."

"Oh, I'm glad you can call that thing a 'gadget.'"

Kassandra's teasing left Rann speechless.

However, Fauber seemed to be afraid that after Lann was told by Kassandra, he would not teach himself anything, nor would he give himself [Dancing Star], so he hurriedly interjected and changed the subject.

"I've been in the city for the past few days, and I guess that Icanos has already started to pay attention to me. And today, I didn't want to sneak in and give you a sneak peek at the terrain or something, and then just."

As he spoke, Fauber lowered his head a little weakly.

Lan Enpi laughed twice: "Then you are really bold, I haven't taught you how to sneak in silently before you dare to practice it yourself." ā€

"I have the [Dancing Star] you gave! If you hadn't stopped me just now, I would have run out in no time! And with what you taught me, these Athenian soldiers simply can't catch up with me! ā€

Fauber's retort made Rann feel a little reasonable.

The little girl's extremely light weight, as well as her talent, made her handy in the use of the [Light Body Technique].

In terms of running speed alone, although it has not even reached the level of modern athletes, it is enough to throw off a few Athenian soldiers from ancient Greece.

"Alright, stop blaming her, Lanne."

In the end, it was Kassandra who was relieved and told Rann to let the matter go.

"She was born to take risks, or she wouldn't have come out of Kephallia. Even I suspect that even if we weren't going to take her with us, she would have gone to sea with a boat herself. It's in her nature. ā€

"At least now, she's taking risks when she's clear that she has a way out, which is much more sensible than when I was a kid."

Lan En shook his head, letting go of the hand that was tugging at the collar of the little girl's neck. Fauber landed lightly on the ground.

"Whatever, you're her guardian anyway."

"It's not just me." Kassandra elbowed Ryanne's arm, smirking teasingly. "You also said that you would take care of her, and you are also her guardian."

So Fauber looked back and forth between Kassandra and Rann with a strange gaze, thoughtful.

Together, Rann and Kassandra then rummaged through the militarized temple where Icanos served as the command office.

They found the names of the rest of the spies who had been planted in the Spartan barracks, and where the rest of the food had been hidden.

Kassandra was able to take this merit with her.
