Greece's territory is composed of the Peloponnese Peninsula in the southern part of the Balkans and more than 3,000 islands distributed on the Aegean Sea.

Kefalonia is a place name that exists in reality and is the largest island in the Ionian Islands (also known as Ionia).

The Ionian Sea, where Kefalonia is located, is located in the western part of the Peloponnese Peninsula, far from the Aegean Sea, the core control area of ​​Greece in the eastern part of the peninsula. It can be said to be a veritable remote countryside.

But in the story of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, the mercenary destined to become a legendary mercenary - the Hawk Trainer, started his magnificent life from this sparsely populated island.

Since we know that this is Kefalonia Island, Xin Sheng can understand why Natiya showed a strange expression when she heard Daedalus's name.

Compared with the Peloponnese Peninsula, which is the core controlled area of ​​Greece, the population of Kefalonia is very small.

But for Xin Sheng, who had just left the apocalypse environment not long ago, seeing the lively market again made him feel quite moved.

The time when the Assassin's Creed Odyssey began was exactly when the Second Peloponnese War was in progress.

This war was a civil war between the city-states under Greece, and they were led by two strongest city-states to form their respective camps.

One of them is the Tirlo Alliance led by the Athenian city-state with the strongest comprehensive national strength, and the other is the Peloponnese Alliance formed by the Spartan city-state with strong military strength.

This war has swept all the city-states of Athens, and only small islands like Kefalonia, which live on the western part of the peninsula, survived.

Even if they were exempted from directly participating in the war, the long-lasting battles of the two camps still had a significant impact on Kefalonia.

According to Natiya, Kefalonia is an island with abundant natural resources, with the wood industry as its basic industrial chain.

According to the standards of this era, the people of Kefalonia were quite rich in living a few years ago, and they were not a remote place subjectively speculated by Xin Sheng.

Unfortunately, as the war continued, Sparta and Athens were fighting for control of the sea.

Merchant ships leading to the peninsula are easily robbed by two countries that lack war material at sea.

Without stable cargo transportation channels, the proud timber industry in Kefalonia has gradually fallen into depression.

The time node when Xin Sheng intervened in this world happened to be the period when Kefalonia went from prosperity to decline.

The form of the industrial chain is too single, which makes Kefalonia's economic system extremely low in resistance to shocks, and once it is stuck, it will be difficult to turn over again.

During the process of being taken to the island town by Natiya, Xin Sheng noticed the mental outlook of the residents of the town at the foot of the mountain from the mountain.

Although the market in the town looks quite energetic, with Xin Sheng's enhanced vision, it is easy to see the sad faces from the faces of local vendors and residents.

At this time, Xin Sheng and Natiya were standing on the highest Mount Enos on Kefalonia, where the landmark was the huge statue of Zeus standing on the top of the mountain.

If it weren't for not having that ability, Xin Sheng really wanted to climb to the top of the statue and experience the overlooking perspective that the Assassin's Creed series would appear.

"That town is called Sami, it wasn't so lifeless before."

Perhaps worried that foreign travelers would have a bad impression of their hometown, Natiya sighed and explained: "Everything is caused by war."

Natiya couldn't help but get angry when she said this: "Maraka! Go to Athens in Oo, and go to Sparta in XX!"

‘emmmmm…’

Xin Sheng has never seen a beautiful woman swearing, but she cursed like Natiya with no concealment... She is indeed the only one who has seen her in her life.

As the prospects of Kefalonia's timber industry took a sharp turn, the residents of the island had to find another way out in order to fill their stomachs.

With the leadership of a tough woman Natiya mentioned, the mercenary business that Kefalonia had basically not been exposed to before began to rise on the island on a small scale.

‘Women…Cassandra?’

To take care of both female and male players, Assassin's Creed: Odyssey introduced a gender selection system.

Players can freely choose male or female as the protagonists in the game.

The male protagonist is named Alixios, while the female protagonist is named Kassandra.

No matter how you choose, the two protagonists are brothers and sisters who have direct blood relationships... or siblings.

The calluses on Natiya's hands were caused by long-term mercenary training.

However, Natiya is only 14 years old this year. Kassandra, who is in charge of training her, believes that Natiya is not ready to deal with the actual combat.

This made Natiya quite dissatisfied with her, and she thought she was ready long ago.

‘14 years old…’

Xin Sheng's mouth twitched a little. He was half a step behind and looked at Natiya's perfect figure without a trace.

‘Is the soil and soil of Kefalonia so nourishing?’

The game does not tell in detail all the interpersonal relationships of the Hawk Trainer in Kefalonia.

The modern protagonist Layla Hassan, who borrows the perspective of the Hawksman, just wants to find what he wants through him (she), deliberately ignores most of the details of life.

Xin Sheng is not sure if there is really a person like Natiya in the original work, but judging from her words and deeds, she is undoubtedly a native Greek... or Kefalonian.

The Greeks of this era were not very enthusiastic about the concept of the country "Greece".

At this time, Greece was still implementing the city-state system. The entire Greece was composed of city-states of all sizes, the most powerful of which were Athens and Sparta mentioned earlier.

Xin Sheng has three tasks.

To summarize briefly, one is to find the artifact of Eden, the other is to assist any camp in ending the Peloponnese War, and the third is to destroy the Order God Cult and obtain the energy module.

‘Why is the energy module in the hands of the God of Order? I thought this thing would appear on the son of destiny (the protagonist) in the current world...’

No matter what Xin Sheng wanted to do, he had to leave the remote island of Kefalonia and enter the core territory of Greece.

However, due to the blockade of the sea by the two major camps, the first step at the beginning of the journey is not so easy to walk.

First of all, he needs a ship, preferably a high-speed ship with certain combat capabilities.

Fortunately, Xin Sheng knew where to find a ship that meets the standards.

However, before this, he must first establish good relations with the locals and collect information from this era as little as possible in order to arrange the next plan.

Although the energy module seems to have no direct contact with the Hawk Trainer, Xin Sheng knew that sooner or later the other party would have an intersection with the Order God Cult.

It is also a good choice to contact her in advance and make good relationships seemingly unintentionally.

"Wait a moment."

Since the background of the new world is ancient Greece, Xin Sheng can choose the weapons and equipment he wants in a targeted manner.

Natiya stopped and turned her head to look at Xin Sheng who suddenly stopped.

Xin Sheng said apologetically: "Natya, please wait for a while, I'll get the equipment in the woods."

"Oh~" Natiya suddenly realized, then nodded happily: "No problem, but it's better to go and go back quickly."

"There are many wild animals in the Enos Mountains, and it will become very dangerous when the sun sets."

Xin Sheng, who ran into the woods, pretended to be searching everywhere, but was actually purchasing weapons through the system.
