Finding someone is always difficult.

This separation, which is separated in time by several decades and spatially almost across the Aegean Sea. Even in the age of advanced information technology, the probability of success is very small.

It's enough to make people feel real despair.

The more you care about the lost, the more desperate the seeker will become.

Kassandra was a very family-oriented person, and Rann could feel it during this period of contact.

For example, she cares a lot about Fauber.

Although she sometimes teased and laughed at Fauber's bumps in training, it was more based on the cruelty of education in this era itself than that she didn't care.

The cruelty of her mercenary career made Kassandra care more about her family.

So Kassandra's prioritization of the undecided was not what Rann had expected.

Because he knew that Kassandra was such a person.

"Well, we may have to separate for a while, Kassandra."

The witcher said with pity as he handed Kassandra the black burqa and theatrical mask in his hand.

"I don't think there is any real skill in a prophet or oracle who is famous in the Greek world, where hundreds of people go up every day to seek advice. If she had what she could do, the Greek world should have popped up every day to talk about a few of the most famous figures, but not now. ”

"You're going to go to her and ask where your mother is, it's kind of a way. But for me, I'd rather find Elpinor's Bloodline Worshippers, or some other Cult members, to see what they have to do with me. ”

After a slight silence, Kassandra looked at Ran's face and nodded.

"I understand." She reached out and shook each other's forearms with Lane, then shook them up and down.

"Our goals are now divergent, and I can only wish you all the best."

"But do you have a goal? Can't you just wander around, hoping that the members of the Cult will bump into you? ”

"Athens." Rann let go of Kassandra's hand and whispered.

"It was a model city of civilization and trade in the Greek world. I think that if there are big merchants like Elpinor among the members of the Cult, it is impossible to bypass the city-state of Athens, and they still organize themselves with drachmas and power. They must have someone over there, or simply have a stronghold. ”

As he spoke, Lan En gave Kassandra a dazzling smile that made the other party feel dizzy.

"Don't feel sad, Kassandra. I have a hunch that sooner or later you will have to go to Athens too. There are people gathered from all parts of the Greek world, and if you want to find your mother, you must go to this city-state. Besides."

"You're always going to come and see Fauber, don't you?"

Yes, Fauber's training was taught by Ran. From the time he went to sea, it was also Lan En who took over the responsibility of taking care of the little girl.

Kassandra's heart suddenly felt a pang of joy, but she couldn't tell if it was because she would see Fauber in Athens in the future, or because of something else.

So, the two of them hugged each other generously, and Lan En followed the road in the town and set off for the port again.

Kassandra was on the roof of Villa Elpino, and only turned to follow the pilgrims up the hill when she watched her figure disappear from view.

Lane made his way to the deck of the Adrestia.

During the anchorage, Barnabas, a devout man, had gone up the mountain to make a pilgrimage to Pythia.

And the sailors on board also had their own fun.

They either gambled with the sailors of other ships on the docks, or took their savings and spent them in the harbor.

This includes, but is not limited to, beating tooth sacrifices, releasing repressed lust, and so on.

Ports have always been a great place to do these businesses.

Fauberger, on the other hand, was much simpler than the sailors, jumping up and down on the ship's mast in an extraordinary lightness.

After gaining extraordinary knowledge, she is like an Internet addict teenager, and she is very addicted to it.

"Come down, get ready to go, Fauber!"

Lane didn't get on the boat, just shouted at the girl from the harbor.

When the girl on the mast heard the greeting, she waved her hand at him happily, and then climbed down from the stout pole with her hands and feet.

Finally, close to three meters from the deck, let go of your hands and go straight down.

The crew of the Adrestia was calm, but the eyes of those passing by in the harbor widened.

They thought the little girl was going to fall out of the way.

Three meters high, this is already the height that can be fatal if the landing position is not correct!

But there's no doubt that Fauber is adventurous, but he's not stupid either.

She fell lightly, as if the rough linen garment had swept her in the wind.

It was akin to an acrobatic performance, earning a small round of applause for Fauber on the harbor, which made her cheeks red.

Jumping up to Lane, she saw the witcher looking at her feet.

"If you were out of breath just now, these leather sandals should have been stepped on by you, I said, have you been a little too energetic lately?"

Didn't you say that being energetic is a good thing?

Fauber muttered to himself.

But when it came to her mouth, she said worriedly: "Will broken shoes affect training?" Why don't I buy another pair? I came out with savings from Kephalonia! If it's too expensive, why don't you let Kassandra take care of it for me? ”

Lan En shook his head indifferently.

"Just buy a pair of shoes, just as I give you a gift. But don't think Kassandra will pay you up. It's time for the two of us to go first. ”

"What?"

The little girl looked up at Lan in astonishment.

"Now our goals are divergent." Lan calmly responded to Fauber's question.

"Everyone has their own goals and priorities, and if there is a disagreement, we can only do it first."

"But I haven't said goodbye to Kassandra yet!" Fauber shouted. "Will we ever see each other again? Where are we going? It was so sudden! ”

In an era of inconvenient transportation, it is likely that a goodbye is the last time we will see each other in life.

That's why Fauber was very excited.

However, Lan En's words soothed the little girl's emotions.

"Don't get excited, it's just a short disagreement. We're going to Athens on an errand, and Kassandra is going to find her lost mother. ”

"You know, right? Looking for this kind of thing, the more people ask, the more drama there is, and sooner or later she will go to Athens. ”

Fauber breathed a sigh of relief.

In this era, the situation of never seeing each other again is largely influenced by the reason that the other party died on the road.

But Fauber didn't believe anything could happen to Kassandra.

She also didn't believe that Lan En, and that she was taken care of by Lan En, would have an accident.

So this 'goodbye to Athens' has become a foregone matter in her eyes, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

Athens was a cultural and trade focus throughout the Greek world.

It's easy to find a boat to Athens in Bugis.

So it wasn't long before Lann and Fauber were able to set foot on a merchant ship bound for Athens.
