In this era, where civilization still carried a primitive air, death was common and ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made the little girl excited was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that Divine Power?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phoebe widened her eyes and stepped over the dead man’s body, circling around Lann in excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that your Divine Power? That ’boom’ sound! The wind helped you defeat the enemy! Are you the child of the God of the North Wind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you saw it wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just threw a stone, but it was too fast for you to see. The ’boom’ sound was the stone hitting his hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl looked skeptically at Lann’s blank expression: \"Hmm... Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, that’s how it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Hunter deceived the child’s innocent mind without flinching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of shameless adults’ defenses, the little girl could only reluctantly give up her questioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright... You two chat for now. I suppose you have a lot in common. I need to go inform Marcos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phoebe hopped over the corpse on the ground and ran to Cassandra’s side, naturally extending her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marcos even wants me to pay for the errand!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra muttered unhappily, and Phoebe promptly corrected her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He did pay for the errand; this is a tip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Malaka!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra rolled her eyes but could only dig a Silver Coin out of her tight waistband and flip it to Phoebe’s palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the little girl cheerfully dashed into the underbrush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Phoebe gone, the scene with just two living people fell into a brief silence, with only the crackling sound of burning wood filling the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry for killing someone in your home. Do you need me to help dispose of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann spoke first, breaking the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra waved her hand nonchalantly, lifting one with each hand and effortlessly tossed the corpses of the two men outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There, that’s done. The beasts will make good use of their flesh and blood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beauty of the Aegean Sea clapped her hands to dust off the nonexistent dirt, then placed her hands on her hips, looking at Lann with interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You seem a bit concerned about killing them. If it makes your conscience feel better, I can tell you who hired these two, and what their employer has done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, these stories will flow out of my mind effortlessly upon reflection, and they will definitely soothe your noble conscience. Want to hear?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann shook his head calmly: \"No need, I can imagine. My ’concern’ just now was about causing trouble so soon after arriving here. But I seldom hesitate once I’ve decided to kill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, a man of principle. I like people like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra looked at the Demon Hunter with great admiration and then flashed a teasing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... ’It was a stone, just too fast to notice’? Ha, you wouldn’t expect this nonsense to fool anyone but a child, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I think adults apart from children know well enough not to expose a well-intentioned lie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Hunter shrugged his hands helplessly at Cassandra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phoebe is a bit too obsessed with those legendary tales, just like her constant desire to be like your Icarus, the eagle. It’s not good for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lann finished speaking, an indignant screech came from the table beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the eagle named Icarus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It stared at the Demon Hunter, its golden-hued beak and sharp gaze making it look like a disgruntled old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Lann promptly apologized to this eagle with wisdom surpassing its kind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Icarus, I didn’t mean you, of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Icarus dissentingly lower its head again to tear at the plate of marinated rabbit meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You see, just as your Icarus has the intelligence to communicate with humans, there are strange things happening in the world. The wind earlier was merely a trivial occurrence among them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann tried to blend into the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Cassandra crossed her arms, seemingly entertained by his performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was sure that Alder’s Rune was supernatural power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann thought this in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the same time, there was no indication that her worldview was shattered... meaning that supernatural power was something accepted in her worldview.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has she seen it, or does she herself possess such power?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lacking information, Lann could only estimate this much in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had just arrived in this world less than two hours ago, an ignorant outsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you insist on saying that, then I can make myself believe it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, Cassandra wore a ’though I don’t believe it, as long as you’re happy’ expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to find someone to settle an account. What about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra patted the Greek Short Sword hanging at her waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was no longer the rusty sword she originally carried, but the weapon from those two bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed she’d also equipped herself while dumping the bodies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a discreet glance, Lann concluded internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll leave after my clothes dry. I was shipwrecked onto this island, and plan to familiarize myself with the surroundings first before considering the next step.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha, there’s nothing worth familiarizing in this impoverished dump called Cephalonia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra ranted with the resentment of a local.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, if you want to find me or Phoebe again, see that statue of Zeus? There’s a vineyard south of the statue, you can go there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s gaze followed Cassandra’s finger, and his thin lips twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An imposing, sun-bleached statue stood high upon the rocks: the Sky God Zeus knelt on one knee, his raised hand encased in lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The posture of this statue was, of course, not an issue; the King of Gods proudly judging all beings was a well-trodden religious topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was... the statue was robustly crafted, towering at least thirty meters!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Ancient Greece’s construction technology this outrageous?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did the Persians invading know about this?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A statue requiring thousands of tons of stone... Lann now fully realized that this place was another supernatural realm with a history tangent to his homeland’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ’Sight’ in his mind was stimulated, subtly but indeed progressing due to witnessing unusual phenomena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I’ll come looking for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inwardly turbulent, outwardly serene, Lann felt he could be considered as possessing ’the talent of a General.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1058,"2026-06-06T10:40:07.943Z",1,"novelbin.me","0b3326492f60855445c45f51d434d1752ca174caf57ce1bd50c53db4cb7338ef","bear-school-astartes-chapter-477","bear-school-astartes-chapter-475",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
