I came right away when Icarus signaled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine, Cassandra. Lann happened to be there, and he saved me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phoebe said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You wouldn’t believe it! Two assassins under the One-eyed People couldn’t last a moment in front of Lann! One of them even had me held hostage! He’s amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing Phoebe talking so animatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up, tilting her head to look at Lann with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two assassins down in the blink of an eye, another of your ’tricks’, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it wasn’t a ’trick’.\" Lann shrugged at Cassandra, \"This time I just used my hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phoebe squinted at the two adults, suddenly feeling they had a secret of their own between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You changed your gear in just a few hours... that’s efficiency for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Hunter marveled at the improved armor and short sword Cassandra wore compared to the morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His [Spiritual Vision] could see the blood still staining the equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When a mercenary stops holding back, her gains are always great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra’s hand formed a fist, and she hammered it against her chest armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used to think not to fall out with the One-eyed People, but now it’s clear they’ve decided to get rid of us. So I don’t need to hold back anymore. The ones who came to trouble me, I didn’t let any of them return alive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Linen Armor is from Athens, I’ve eyed it for a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Linen Armor is a unique Ancient Greece Era armor, made by saturating, layering, and pressing linen with oil and glue into a small armor piece. Swords hitting it would make a ’thud’ instead of slicing cleanly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrows from contemporary longbows also struggled to penetrate its defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After showing off her new gear, Cassandra crossed her arms and leaned in closely to examine Lann’s armor, which she had never seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just the sight of this armor makes you look as wealthy as Cronos. Dear me, how much metal went into it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Hunter leaned back subtly, distancing himself from Cassandra’s thick and smooth braid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This era has no fragrances, yet how does she maintain her hair? Is it just good genes?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s armor from my hometown, I took some time to fish it out from the sea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Took some time... let’s just say so.\" Cassandra glanced at Lann’s face with a playful smile, before backing away from right beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey! Look at me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phoebe called out discontentedly, asking Cassandra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How’s it going with Marcos?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Icarus landed on the Aegean beauty’s shoulder, her face looked helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same old, I didn’t get paid, and I have to run errands for him. And this time he went too far. He borrowed money from the One-eyed People to buy the vineyard. For the sake of the gods! Who with a bit of sense takes out a high-interest loan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, that’s just like something he’d do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phoebe muttered discontentedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why do you listen to him? Let him order you around?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I owe him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra showed a nostalgic expression, though it was unclear to Lann whether it was a fond memory or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not many people would forgive a thief, but Marcos not only didn’t hit me, he took me in. I was about your age back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s an annoying guy, with a funny accent and unreliable ways... but I can’t just ignore him. I can’t turn my back on family now that I’m grown and capable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying when I’m old, you’ll chase me out of your house with a sword?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra teased the little girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phoebe showed an understanding face: \"I get it now... don’t worry, Cassandra. Even if you’re old and toothless, I’ll keep a room for you at home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right!\" Phoebe reminded Cassandra, \"The ones who tried to kidnap me said they paid ’Stone Fist’ Talos to finish you off, be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Malaka... They’re really generous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra cursed under her breath, but didn’t seem too worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If he took the bounty, let’s see whose fists are harder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you need anything, Phoebe? If not, I can take you back to Marcos’ vineyard. Phobos is fast as the wind!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann and Cassandra both thought Phoebe would have no more issues, but the little girl lowered her head, indeed needing help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know Kausos?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The small town on the other side of the island, what’s up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The people there are sick—blood fever, my friend Zina’s family too. They say it’s a curse, they need the gods’ blessing to get through.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl timidly looked at Cassandra and Lann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both understood what Phoebe was implying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve said before, I’m not a god.\"*2\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra and Lann both helplessly said in unison, glancing at each other in surprise afterward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you have Icarus! And you have such a body!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phoebe pointed at Cassandra and the eagle on her, then at Lann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That doesn’t mean we’re gods, Phoebe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Hunter repeated calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra waved helplessly: \"Plus, the One-eyed People’s actions are pressing. I’m not sure if I have time... you know, Phoebe, swords and spears are faster than diseases and curses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl silently lowered her head, appearing dejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra seemed eager to help, her lips moved several times, words of promise nearly crossing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before she could...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you’re busy dealing with enemies, I can go check it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann spoke quietly from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phoebe looked up, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I repeat: I’m not a god. But I won’t be harmed by plague, so it’s no risk for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Hunter waved a finger in front of Phoebe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl nodded with wide, hopeful eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you say you’re not a god, then you’re not. ’Won’t be harmed by plague’... ha, who believes a person could say that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra also relaxed, patting Lann’s arm before she and Phoebe climbed onto Phobos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodbye, Lann.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat on the mighty horse, the sunlight shining behind her, her sharp brows and eyes seemingly as divine as a war goddess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your help. Next time, let’s have a drink together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She winked playfully at Lann as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>",1071,"2026-06-06T10:40:07.943Z",1,"novelbin.me","be55993ea1e773020be356b33a9b5518df4c7564739d156c8219fc98c97a1811","bear-school-astartes-chapter-482","bear-school-astartes-chapter-480",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
