After listening to Fauber's somewhat proud narration, Phidias couldn't help but nod frequently.

In a world full of myths and legends, it's tempting to listen to the gossip once in a while.

Lann, on the other hand, poured cold water on Fauber.

"Once you're the leader of this group of street children, you're going to have to find them some long-term work. It's better to do less to steal sailors, otherwise the people in charge of the port management will not be able to bear you. Those sailors who go ashore to find prostitutes and gamble are taxed, but you don't. ”

Fauber never seemed to have thought about it, after all, she was just a little girl who came out of Kephallonia, and at the moment she seemed to be a bit of a hard-working and socialist.

"So, what are we going to do?"

Fauber even put down the bread and fish soup, and asked anxiously with his head to Lanen.

"Why are you so nervous?" Lan En said as a matter of course. "It's very simple for you."

"Huh?"

Fauber looked confused.

The same goes for Phidias next to it.

He didn't know that a native of Athens could easily find a job to eat.

"You probably haven't noticed it yet, Fauber. You and the dozen or so kids you've struggled with, you're already an organized group. For that alone, you are better than many people. ”

"You can summon a dozen children, and although most of them don't have much strength, they can also do a lot of things that require manpower, can't be done alone, or are very troublesome."

"How many people do you think you can call for help from the small traders who set up their stalls in the market? Five or six is not a lot. I came to Athens to fight the first gang on my stomach, and it's hard to say whether there were thirty of them. ”

"The number of people you can unite is your advantage, Fauberger."

Lan En spread his hands and said very easily.

"Also, do you remember what I told you?"

That's what. Stray Kids Intelligence Squad?

Fauber thought in a daze.

"When you become famous, there will be people who understand how valuable 'intelligence' is, and will take the initiative to come to you. We'll see. ”

"If that's what you're going to say," Fauber thought as if something suddenly came to mind.

"There was a guy who greeted me today after seeing our actions. He said that if he was free, he could go to her. ”

"The first time I saw you in action, I came here?"

Lan En was a little surprised, surprised that this person's eyes seemed to be a little powerful.

"'She' is a woman? Coming out alone? It's not easy to find a woman on the streets of Athens with no one to take with you. ”

"She's still beautiful!"

"Pretty? How beautiful is it? ”

Lan didn't expect Fauber's first reaction when he described the man to be pretty.

"Let me find a reference pair, how about a comparison with Kassandrabi?"

After asking, Len noticed that Fauber, who had always admired Kassandra, seemed hesitant.

"Almost?" She hesitated, "Aspasia doesn't have the same style as Kassandra. ”

"Aspacia?" *2

At the dinner table, the voices of two men's questions rang out at the same time.

Phidias and Lane glanced at each other, both of them looking at each other's eyes with astonishment.

Aspasia, the lover of the Athenian consul Perikles, but also an important aide in his path to power.

It is said that Perikles gave many lectures that were large enough to be included in a textbook, and the manuscripts were touched up and corrected by her hand.

If such a character is the case, then it is understandable that she can realize the potential of this group of homeless children in terms of intelligence at the first time.

"Then do it, Fauber."

Finally, Lan En made a summary for the little girl at the dinner table.

"If you can be appreciated by her, you will at least not worry about eating and drinking in the future. Don't stop training, I'm going to have to go outside Athens a lot for a while, so you have to pay attention to your training progress. ”

"Huh? What are you doing outside of Athens? ”

"Hide and seek in a cave with a bunch of psychopathic murderers. It's a big head. ”

After hearing this, the eagerness in Fauber's eyes quickly subsided and he became well-behaved.

"Oh, then you'd better have your own head on your own."

Rann then tore off a piece of barley bread and smashed it on Fauber's head.

——

Kassandra arrived at the port of Piraeus in Athens in close to two months after separating from Ranforggis.

She jumped lightly from the Adrestia, and another man who looked to be forty or fifty years old, but was in good spirits, and wore a hooded shawl, was stepping down from the planks that protruded from the ship.

It was Herodotus, an old acquaintance of Barnabas.

He and Kassandra and the others met on the way to meet the oracle on the queue and had a great conversation.

Thanks to his wonderful experience and intellectual knowledge, he was able to be entertained by Kassandra and returned to Athens together.

Yes, 'back'.

Because Herodotus was also serving as a staff member of Perikles at this time.

The way to Athens from here was much different from when Lan first arrived.

Kassandra, like the witcher when she first arrived, looked in the direction of the Acropolis.

On these two miles, there has always been only one promenade facing the sea, like an arm stretched out from the city, holding the nearest coast below and the dock there tightly in its hands.

The stonemasons and slaves were gathered here, placing the last stones on the two strange walls that lined the path, and the chisels in their hands were beating rhythmically with the work at hand.

"Come on, mercenary." Herodotus walked along the trail beckoning Kassandra to follow him.

The two walked along the trail, and the long wall beside the road cast a pleasant shade on them.

There was also an old beggar who muttered to all who would listen to him: "Troy, the Hittites, and the Assyrians should not be regarded as a lesson to us?" The majestic walls are sure to attract powerful destroyers. ”

This statement is not new.

Kassandra thought to herself.

At the same time, she noticed how rough the wall next to the trail really was.

The wall was made in a hurry, and the quality was very poor, and the materials were very bad, all of which were paving stones, and there were rubble and the remains of beams and columns.

It's a bit unsightly to be placed in the same picture as the temple and the acropolis in the distance.

"This is the 'long wall,' which I discussed with Perikles when I left Athens, and now it seems that progress has been made."

Herodotus introduced Kassandra.

"It's really ugly, but it's pretty good as a stopgap measure. The Spartans were not good at siege, and the wall protected the port of Athens from threat. ”

"Are you saying this is a strategy you and Pericles came up with?" Kassandra said thoughtfully, "What's the glory of that? ”

"'Glory'? Oh, what a Spartan. Herodotus laughed.
