It was the first empire in human history to span three continental plates: Asia, Europe, and Africa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this embryonic era of human civilization, it may not be the \"strongest,\" but it is undoubtedly the \"largest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder Race, along with the artifacts they left behind, have introduced too many variables into this world that seems both familiar and elusive to Lann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it looks like the place you went to was indeed quite novel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra pointed her thumb behind her, looking at Lann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A cat in armor carrying two swords?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just saw marks on the bodies of those two dogs that indeed looked like it carried a sword on its back.

I’m not a cat; I’m an Elu Cat meow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cat’s nasal voice made Cassandra widen her eyes and turn her head, staring at Rong Buqiu in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the first time she had heard a cat talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra walked over to Rong Buqiu, lifted it up in front of her with her hands under its armpits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A talking cat!? Lann, is this some kind of... Divine Beast? Magical Beast? What’s it called?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Buqiu’s little legs fluttered in the air, but it couldn’t counter Cassandra’s arms and could only cast large, pleading eyes at Lann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It just introduced itself.\" Lann walked over, took Rong Buqiu from Cassandra’s hands, and placed it back on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra then put her hands on her hips, continuing to watch it curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rong Buqiu is a member of a race called Elu Cat, an intelligent little Cat People. It’s more akin to my attendant now. I teach it skills, and it follows to help me. It’s a friend, not a pet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t stare so hard. It’s getting a bit shy.

Ha, I love it this way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you were to bring this little cat onto the ship now, Barnabas might just set up an altar for you straight away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann raised his eyes and thought of the passionate, loyal, and straightforward old captain, who was also very devout to the gods... he probably would really do such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Hunter shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I think it’s better to stay in Athens...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking about Athens brought a serious look back to both Lann and Cassandra’s faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The romantic ambiance and joy of their reunion had, for a moment, overshadowed the current dire situation in Athens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the topic was brought back to the forefront.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came over this time to seek your help. Do you remember the Life Cross we obtained last time? I need your assistance to get it working.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann, while watching the yellowish smoke and ash in the sky, spoke to Cassandra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t want us to use the Ishu Divine Artifact while the surrounding environment is so unstable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We could go and see Pericles,\" Cassandra nodded. \"Now that Athens has become like this, as the Governor, he must know the ins and outs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lann very straightforwardly dismissed this idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He should be the one who knows best, but I don’t want to get close to someone at the center of a whirlpool right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann gestured with his chin towards the sick, wilting people by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It needs to be reiterated that the Ancient Greece Era is the early stage of human civilization, and the people here believe that everything is arranged by the gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They don’t understand the principles of disease transmission, and most people have no experience, because those who have experienced plagues usually don’t survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They don’t even have the concept of ’quarantine.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the plague began, the likelihood of leaders gathering the sick and ordinary people together in prayer before a temple was higher than managing them separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of people today, the increase in the number of sick wasn’t due to the spread of the plague, but rather the large-scale punishment by the gods, affecting many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a situation, the impassioned Athenians would naturally seek out those in charge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And who would that be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it’s the ’Father of Democracy’ who built the Parthenon Temple, Pericles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is conceivable that Pericles’ residence is probably crowded with people right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann, as a Demon Hunter, is immune to ordinary diseases that aren’t specially engineered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And seeing those city stray dogs lively, it’s clear this disease does not have interspecies transmission capability, so Rong Buqiu and Icarus are safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for Cassandra, Lann isn’t sure if her bloodline from the Elder Race makes her immune to all diseases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the face of uncertainty, caution is the best approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need to find someone of certain status who wouldn’t draw people’s attention right now to understand the situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann mused aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra waited with a smile. Lann’s expression gave her a feeling of returning to a year and a half ago when they faced and solved difficulties together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Lann came to a conclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phidias. We’ll find him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A renowned sculptor and artist, who would usually draw quite a bit of attention. But in the face of this great disaster, his influence is undoubtedly much smaller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, from past interactions, Lann knows that Phidias and Pericles have a good private relationship, even being part of his inner circle of advisors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a person is definitely more informed about the situation than the general public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Phidias? Let me search...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Lann’s decision, Cassandra’s eyes lost focus, while Icarus, who was always soaring in the sky, let out a cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her vision connected to the eagle’s perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Icarus found the target in the dim sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cassandra’s vacant gaze refocused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is now in his studio.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phidias’ studio needed a lot of high-quality marble imported by sea to Athens, so it wasn’t far from Piraeus Harbor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s go find him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann said decisively, while sprinting towards the wall of a nearby residential building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His breathing was adjusted, and with powerful muscles and bones, he climbed directly to the eaves of the two-story house without needing to push off the wall for support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he flipped up onto the roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to waste time twisting and turning in the alleys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although reuniting with Cassandra in Athens was delightful, Lann hadn’t forgotten one thing—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phoebe was also still in Athens!\u003C\u002Fp>",1176,"2026-06-06T10:40:27.274Z",1,"novelbin.me","49d868d09eec152edb0dc800977a9be462b5b8ffb27f45d9c4cb468b2eea464a","bear-school-astartes-chapter-886","bear-school-astartes-chapter-885",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
