Kassandra pulled out the knife at her waist and handed it to Ran.

Because the swords of this era were in the early stage of civilization, they did not have a convergence in shape because of the roughly same battlefield conditions, at least not seriously.

Therefore, all kinds of strange-shaped weapons can be turned into their own special weapons in the hands of the blacksmiths of each city-state.

The knife in Kassandra's hand looked like a watermelon knife, with a straight and pointless head and a thick back.

It's just that the golden light on this knife is a little dim even in Kassandra's hands.

The last time Len left, Kassandra used the Spartan Knife she had received from her father, the Spartan Blood Wolf.

It was the top-of-the-line equipment that Sparta took out of the treasury and distributed to the leading generals.

There could be no shortage of artifact fragments used in forging.

But even so, Kassandra still used up at least two artifacts in a year and a half.

At this rate, the artifact fragments in this world, that is, the 'remnants of the Isu technology', are estimated to be exhausted by the Middle Ages.

"I always feel like your equipment is wearing out quickly."

Lan looked at the broken spear on Kassandra's back, dangling from her bow and arrows.

"Is the spear of Leonidas alright?"

"My broken spear is not on the same level as other artifacts." Kassandra was confident about it.

She said as she easily removed the broken spear that had been upgraded twice and had become much more gorgeous on her back, and turned a knife flower in her hand.

"I don't think the strength of the broken spear has declined, don't worry."

Lan En nodded indifferently.

In fact, Kassandra used the artifact to wear out too quickly, which was not a problem in his opinion.

Even if the Isu technology runs out, the magic equipment on top is not bad.

Anyway, Kassandra's own qualities are left here, and the warriors themselves are strong enough to use any equipment.

"Now, then, let's go to the mansion of Pericles."

Lann grabbed the flannel ball and put it on his shoulder as he walked.

——

Buricles' mansion, where Lane has been there many times.

At that time, he made a name for himself in the city of Athens, and Socrates and others liked to talk and communicate with him.

And Pericles' adopted son, Alsibias, was so enthusiastic that Rann was a little respectful.

That's why he came here for banquets quite a few times.

Especially before he left last time, Hapalos used the mixture of man and beast created by the [Ankh Cross] indiscriminately, and was pulled into the city of Athens by Lann as a proof of completion of the crusade against the followers of Ares.

Those mixtures are regarded as mythical monsters, and they are both feared and feared.

It was also from that time that the names of the Falconer and the Son of the Giant God spread throughout the Greek world through the Athenian trade routes and seas, and even in Persia, you can occasionally hear this mythical story.

People began to recognize that the Falconer and the Son of the Titan were demigods who walked the world.

They will embark on a heroic journey like Hercules and Perseus, who are watched over by the gods.

It is said that the bodies were enshrined in the Parthenon by Perikles, and that they were dried and embalmed.

It is intended to remind people of the majesty of myths and gods.

The street in front of Perikles' mansion was, indeed, as Phidias said, crowded with many opponents.

Poor people in ragged clothes, rich people dressed luxuriously but with pale faces, citizens, slaves.

People of all stripes were furious, demanding that the Archon give an explanation for the plague and put an end to the chaos.

People are coughing and vomiting uncontrollably.

Occasionally, a few patients with the disease to the end of the disease have already developed a large rash on their bodies after the hard scab has been ruptured, and the high fever in the body has caused them to tear their clothes uncontrollably.

Crazy to the point of not being human.

It's a giant petri dish of plague.

But even so, people who have no common sense and experience still gather together, as if expressing their anger is more important than anything else.

At the intersection in front of Pericles' house, Kleon set up a simple little platform and danced and began to accuse Pericles.

The people in the crowd who were still conscious were also fanned and their eyes turned red, as if Pericles had summoned the plague.

In fact, that's exactly what Kleon is saying.

"Perikles is ungodly!"

Kleon spread his arms wide and stared at the crowd below.

"Yes, our great consul built the Parthenon, and he brought countless flowers, tributes, and incense to show his piety to the great Athena."

"But. Does this work?! Is this what the great Athena wanted to see?! ”

Creon's hind feet stood on tiptoe, leaned forward, and raised a finger to the striking giant bronze statue of Athena in the Acropolis.

"Our goddess is the goddess of wisdom, but also the goddess of war!"

"It was Perikles' cowardly behavior that angered the goddess by avoiding the barbarian Spartans, instead taking precious funds to build temples, and that was why the plague raged in this great city!"

"It's time to face reality, noble and rational citizens of Athens! As long as we do not remove Perikles, the cowardly dictator, for a single day, we will not be able to obtain Athena's understanding! And it won't be possible to win! ”

"Of course, please don't blame our archon, after all, this cowardly heart is innate. Blame him for the curse he brought about and haunt our great city! ”

Lan En, who was standing on the side of the street, raised the corners of his mouth unhappily and sighed.

"I'm getting more and more disgusted with these emotions now. It's disgusting. ”

"Let's find Pericles first." Kassandra patted Rann on the arm, reassuring him, and then approached the courtyard wall of the mansion first.

"It's good to be crazy or not, that's the Athenian business. We are not Athenian citizens. ”

With that, she looked back at Lan En with some uncertainty.

"Uh, you're not, aren't you?"

After all, Lan En had been very familiar with many famous people in Athens before, and he was also very happy. He is also famous.

For ordinary people, becoming an Athenian citizen was an unattainable luxury.

But for Ran, if he wanted to, Perikles might be able to arrange it at once.

"No, I'm not an Athenian citizen either."

Kassandra shrugged and turned and jumped into the courtyard of the mansion.

Lan En first threw the flannel ball over, and the kitten was still a little confused when it was in mid-air.

Then he jumped in himself.

As soon as they entered the mansion of Perikles, the apparently abnormal behavior of the two men and a cat caused a small panic.

And because of this little panic, on the eaves of the courtyard, another pair of figures are also quietly approaching this side
