Chapter 50 Young Eagles Leave the Nest
Before leaving for Megalis, Kassandra learned from Xin Sheng that the real name of the Spartan Blood Wolf - Nicolaos.
Nicolaos is Kassandra's adoptive father.
When Kassandra was still young, the oracle of Sparta made a prophecy under the name of the gods, and she rudely said that Kassandra's infant younger brother would harm Sparta in the future.
The Spartan leaders believed it to be true and decided to drop Cassandra's younger brother, Alixios, off the cliff of Mount Tegers, and the elders' council was responsible for implementing it.
Kassandra, who wanted to save her brother, failed to push the execution elder off the cliff in anxiety, but the baby Alixios unfortunately fell off the cliff together.
Cassandra, who made a big mistake, was ordered to be executed, and Nicolaos, who was loyal to Spartan's duties and discipline, endured his heartache and executed the order with his own hands.
Then, something that Xin Sheng wanted to complain about happened.
Just like the plots that often appear in Chinese martial arts novels, neither Cassandra nor Alixios who fell off the cliffs died.
Although there was no special adventure, both siblings survived the death of falling off the cliff.
Kassandra's relationship with Nicolaos was very complicated. When she was a child, her father Nicolaos and her mother Mirine taught her to fight together, laying a solid foundation for her future mercenary career.
At that time, Kassandra did feel the care of fatherly love from Nicolaos, but she could not forget Nicolaos's ruthless act of throwing her off the cliff.
"so?"
Xin Sheng treated Kassandra with the wild boar meat cut from the Kaludong wild boar.
After drinking and eating, the three of them walked all the way to the hotel backyard and started talking about the main business.
Xin Sheng turned around and looked at the golden armored helmet placed on Kassandra's travel package, a typical Spartan general leader helmet.
"Is the Spartan Blood Wolf dead?"
This rumor floated to Fokis before Kassandra arrived. Many people said that the Spartan Blood Wolf was killed by a mercenary, and the blood wolf's adopted son Stantor vowed to avenge the mercenary.
Natiya also looked at Kassandra nervously. She didn't want to believe that Kassandra, who is both a teacher and a friend, would really kill her father with her own hands.
"No."
Kassandra sighed with a complicated expression: "I'll let him go."
"Nicolos said before leaving that he was going to retrieve his lost glory, and then left the Spartan military camp. I don't know where he went."
Xin Sheng pointed to the golden armor helmet: "What is this?"
Kassandra shrugged: "Nicolos's helmet should be able to use it to exchange Elpino for a considerable Drakema."
Xin Sheng was speechless. He didn't expect that Cassandra wanted to knock some money from Elpino when she was already murdering Elpino.
Natiya couldn't help but lower her head and chuckled: "It's you, are you planning to get the reward first?"
"certainly."
Cassandra raised her head with confidence and raised her chest: "This is the reward I deserve."
"I won't talk about me."
Kassandra turned to look at Xin Sheng: "Have you discovered anything in the past month? Natiya didn't do anything randomly?"
"Hello!"
Xin Sheng ignored Natiya's dissatisfaction and replied with a smile: "It's okay, I got the key props from one of the members of the God Cult."
"It's a pity that Elpino's estate has been too tight to be defensive and failed to sneak in and find more clues."
"As for Natiya..."
Xin Sheng turned to look at the girl with resentment: "The performance is pretty good. Although the method of handling things is a bit immature, he should be able to travel alone."
Kassandra taught Natiya very strictly in combat, which was to allow her to protect herself in today's troubled times.
But Kassandra did not want Natiya to embark on the path of mercenaries like herself, and deliberately acted perfunctorily in education about mercenaries' affairs.
This leads to Natiya's youthfulness that is inconsistent with her skillful skills when she handles non-combat tasks alone, and she is more like a fledgling rookie.
Xin Sheng is not Kassandra and will not hide it in some places.
Since Natiya has embarked on the journey, sooner or later she will have a day of action alone.
In the process of mutual learning and progress, although Natiya has learned a lot of sleek approaches and good archery skills from Xin Sheng, Xin Sheng has also learned a lot of Spartans' fighting skills and experience under Natiya's careful teaching.
Relevant training results have been displayed on Xin Sheng’s skills panel.
The 2nd level Spartan fighting technique has not yet left the entry-level, but it has already given him a certain ability to protect himself in melee combat.
Xin Sheng did not intend to invest too much energy in melee combat. His close combat skills were mainly suppressed by high-speed combos, and the ultimate goal was to keep a distance.
After hearing Xin Sheng's comments, Kassandra's eyes looked at Natiya with a complicated look.
"Oh~"
After a moment of silence, Kassandra rubbed Natiya's head with her rough hands: "The eagle will always fly alone after leaving the nest, maybe it's time to let you go."
Natiya was excited when she heard this: "Say that..."
"but!"
Kassandra interrupted Natiya and asked sternly: "Natya, have you ever planned your future?"
"The purpose of your trip is to find out your own life experience. Do you have any clues and clues about this?"
Natiya calmed down: "Yes! Xin provided me with some one-sided information."
He took out the pendant he had brought since childhood and Natiya handed it to Kassandra.
"This pendant may have come from an ancient race called the forerunner, and I plan to follow this clue to follow."
Xin Sheng added: "The Order God is looking for ancient ruins and artifacts left by pioneers in all parts of Greece. In this regard, there are many overlaps between your goals and Natiya."
"The Church of Order..."
Kassandra narrowed her eyes and covered the fierce light flashing in her eyes.
"I will sooner or later find out the details of this organization. I must first figure out why Elpino wanted to induce me to kill Nicolaos."
Kassandra got a lot of information from Nicolaos.
First, Nicolaus admitted that he was not Cassandra's biological father, but his stepfather.
Secondly, Nicolaos seemed to remind Cassandra that when he was tracing the truth behind the scenes, he paid attention to the poisonous snake hiding in the grass.
Kassandra couldn't understand what Nicolaos meant yet, and her primary goal was to seize Elpino and force him to find out the information he wanted.
“About Elpino, I have a plan that requires your cooperation.”
Xin Sheng curled up his lips and showed a sinister smile: "Elpino's manor is too strong to defend, and it is very difficult to sneak in and break through from the outside."
"Since that's the case, it's better for you to attack from the inside first."
"Cassandra, you can go directly into the manor to meet Elpino on the grounds."
"Natya and I will lurk outside the manor. As long as you send a signal to take action, we will start to act simultaneously."
