Made of the finest stone and erected to meet the mountain peak!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The priest loudly promised Lann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"May we keep your magical jar? It might be useful in future epidemics!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Keep it if you want; it’s not particularly precious,\" Lann replied indifferently, as he began to pack his few personal belongings, preparing to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I must clarify, this jar only identifies this particular epidemic and is ineffective against others; you can consider my Divine Power limited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann didn’t explain terms like ’antigen’ or ’antibody’ to the priest, but rather adhered to practical principles, conveying in terms he could understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Aegean Sea was basked in abundant and passionate sunlight, and the scorched earth that had been swept by flames had begun to sprout green shoots again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Much like mythical legends, local mortals were clutching remnants of the ’Divine Artifact’ as they bid farewell to the hero who saved them from disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will there be legends about you in the future, sir?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentos inquired with keen interest from within Lann’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann appeared quite indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mythical legends tend to change every few centuries, don’t they? There’s hardly any space devoted to me, given this was merely an epidemic that swept through a small village. I was merely a passer-by who saved just seven lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he said this, the Demon Hunter involuntarily furrowed his brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t due to dissatisfaction with the possible forgetting of his deeds, but rather other considerations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But according to our estimations, will this village’s epidemic really be confined to this single village?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann sighed and shook his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Typhus is a disease mainly spread by rats and the insects upon them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the priests were burning the entire Kausos, they lacked the capability to thoroughly eliminate all the rats, livestock, and poultry fleeing from the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Greek World relies heavily on maritime transport; the swift and decisive actions of Lann and the priests may at best have saved only the island of Cephalonia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who can say where the rats and lice boarding ships would be carried?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You shouldn’t be troubled by these things, sir. This is the norm of humans battling epidemics throughout the evolution of civilization. For a long time, medicine relied on the empirical science born from the deceased.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentos analyzed calmly, allowing Lann to temporarily set down the unease in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having involved himself in the spread of the epidemic but unable to perfectly curb it left Lann feeling a frustrating sense of failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his steps progressed, Kausos’s scorched earth gradually fell behind the Demon Hunter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned to the stone monument he had erected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was the miserable sight of Kausos from afar that deterred everyone intending to come, or perhaps it was the word ’epidemic’ on his monument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nevertheless, during the days Lann treated the epidemic, no one visited the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a \"bang,\" Lann toppled the monument, then drew the Lady of the Lake’s Sword to scrape off the engraved text, marking an end to his treatment and the epidemic in Kausos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After accomplishing all this, as he was about to seek an account from Phoebe, the sound of a woman crying echoed from not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps she had loved ones in Kausos, just like Phoebe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann speculated in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to go have a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the sound, Lann saw a cloaked person prostrated and kneeling on the path leading to Kausos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knelt at the boundary between Kausos and the outside world, before her lay scorched earth and gloom, while behind her were the sunshine and vegetation of the Aegean Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was already hoarse, and her cloak was in tatters, looking as if she had been crying here night and day for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the most stone-hearted pirate of the Aegean Sea would have to utter ’This is truly a heartbroken woman’ upon witnessing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By Lann’s nature, even if he didn’t help the lady solve her trouble, at the very least he’d offer some consolation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, he approached with this intention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as the Demon Hunter pushed aside olive branches and low shrub twigs in his path, drawing closer to the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He became increasingly cautious as he approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What began as light steps transitioned into tentative half-footsteps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the woman seemed unaware, continuing her sorrowful cries even as the towering figure blocked out the sunlight beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann calmly gazed down at the cloaked woman kneeling on the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you been crying for a long time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boo hoo, yes, yes, my sister was in Kausos, she...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the woman could explain her situation through her sobs, Lann interrupted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But aside from this worn cloak indeed having endured for some time, the grass and lichens around you have been pressed down for less than half an hour, madam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Hunter’s tone was flat and dispassionate, devoid of a hint of sympathy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which caused the woman’s cries and her bitter lamentation to gradually peter out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s left hand rested on the knife sheath at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Swish!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of bright silver light circled, and behind Lann, a ten-kilogram Pallas’s cat, its body severed in two, fell limply from the air, emitting a sharp wail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This creature appeared round, resembling a fluffy cat ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But its claws and teeth have enough lethality on human skin in areas not well protected by armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if unable to bite a human neck, the injuries they inflict on legs, feet, and arms are sufficient for its master to gain advantage in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And being small in stature, capturing or attacking it becomes a challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, among the top Mercenaries, besides lions, wild wolves, bears, and other tamed beasts, Pallas’s cats are also a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as a member of the distinguished Mercenaries, [Glinting] An You, nearly made her move simultaneously with her pet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A short knife was drawn from the ragged cloak, and the instant it hit fresh air, violent flames burst into fierce blaze on its blade!\u003C\u002Fp>",1155,"2026-06-06T10:40:07.943Z",1,"novelbin.me","e5e520f35df8ae750575b2c656051a9fb55a1723d8ad7256aa25b7a0f2b898cc","bear-school-astartes-chapter-488","bear-school-astartes-chapter-486",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
