Chapter 30 Malaka!
There is nothing valuable in Kassandra's house, only some furniture that is necessary for life.
But as a mercenary, there are always people who eat.
As soon as Xin Sheng entered the door, he saw the wooden recurved bow hanging on the wall. The bow arm had obvious damage, and the stress surface when drawing the bow would be unbalanced, which would affect the accuracy.
Noting Xin Sheng's gaze, Kassandra scratched her head helplessly.
"Since the timber business in Kefalonia took a sharp turn, several bow makers have left the island one after another and went to other city-states to make a living."
"I always wanted to find someone to fix it, but unfortunately I never got it."
Natiya also curled her lips and complained: "Now there is only one last old bow maker left in Sami Town."
"The old lady has been reluctant to repair her bow hunting because of her poor relationship with Marcos, the long-time employer of Cassandra."
Marcos, a lucky speculator, is good at fooling people with his verbal skills and often does stupid things that may endanger his life for immediate interests.
Originally, Marcos was just a low-level gangster who barely mingled with food and clothing. After accidentally saving Cassandra who drifted from the sea to Kefalonia, his "career" began to gradually take off.
In order to repay Marcos's life-saving and raising grace, Cassandra helped Marcos cook a lot of messes over the years.
If it weren't for Cassandra's protection from the side, Marcos's short-sightedness and his nature of being good at committing suicide would have been buried in the soil long ago.
"These trivial matters will not be mentioned for the time being."
Kassandra sat on the chair with a big golden knife, looked at Xin Sheng and asked bluntly: "Foreigner, what's the matter with me? Business? Or seek revenge?"
Xin Sheng shrugged: "You are thinking too much, just want to find you to find some information."
Kassandra raised her eyebrows: "Information? OK, but not for free."
This is how mercenaries are used to placing everything clearly, and intelligence is no exception.
"Um……"
Xin Sheng touched his chin. He had just entered this world and did not have the currency of ancient Greece.
In this era, the common currency of Greece was called Drakema, a yellow metal coin that looked like a gold coin on the surface, but was actually minted from copper.
"I don't have the money from this country. As the price of intelligence exchange, I can help you solve a problem."
"trouble?"
Kassandra picked up the wine bottle on the table and took a sip: "Ha~ What's the trouble with me? Natiya, this pestering girl? Are you willing to take her away for me?"
"Cassandra!"
Natiya jumped up unhappy and said, "Do I just bored you like this? At least I have helped you a lot!"
Cassandra waved her hand disregardlessly: "I can handle those small problems in life even without you."
"The herb collection task I gave you before..."
Kassandra looked at Natiya's empty hands and sighed helplessly: "It seems that I haven't picked it up. This little thing can't be done. Do you still want to become a powerful mercenary like me?"
Natiya was dissatisfied with blame for Xin Sheng: "I didn't pick the herbs because I met this foreigner on the mountain, and I even rescued him!"
"oh?"
Kassandra turned her gaze unexpectedly, and Xin Sheng scratched her cheek awkwardly: "Accidentally, I was too dedicated to prey when hunting and accidentally slid down the cliff. Fortunately, Natiya pulled her up."
"All right."
Cassandra curled her lips: "You will complete today's mission, but I still say the same thing. Your strength is not enough to go out alone."
"Natya, give up."
Kassandra said earnestly: "The life of a mercenary is not as good as you think. There are always countless dangers when operating in the wild."
"These dangers may come from nature, or from...human malice."
"Please give me some advice, it is best to stay in Kefalonia to live a peaceful life."
Natiya shook her head stubbornly: "I must find out my life experience. This is the life goal I set for myself."
"Oh~"
Kassandra rubbed her eyebrows with a headache: "Forget it... let this topic aside."
Turning his head to look at Xin Sheng, Kassandra narrowed her eyes and asked, "Foreigner, what information do you want? What's the trouble you said?"
Xin Sheng did not interrupt the interaction between Kassandra and Natiya, and silently waited until the end of the topic of the two before spitting out a noun.
"One-eyed man."
Kassandra's face changed slightly, and she looked at Xin Sheng deeply.
"What information do you want for the one-eyed man? The location of the old nest?"
"No."
Xin Sheng shook his head and said, "I want to know who the one-eyed man is, and this matter is not unrelated to you."
Kassandra changed her posture and sat upright on the chair, her face also became serious: "Is this the trouble you said?"
"I did have a holiday with the One-Eyed Man, and I have had a lot of 'dealing' before, but he knew that I was so powerful that he shouldn't risk his life to break up with me."
“That was before.”
Xin Sheng smiled jokingly, stretched out his thumb and pointed out outside the door: "You should ask Marcos how he got the money for the vineyard."
"vineyard?!"
Kassandra stood up in surprise and subconsciously turned her gaze to Natiya.
Natiya shook her head blankly: "Don't look at me, I've been wandering around Mount Enos all day today."
"Xin, where did you find out the information?"
Xin Sheng did not hide it: "What the enthusiastic fishermen at the pier told me."
"They also said that the money Marcos bought for the vineyard was borrowed from the one-eyed man."
“Maraka!”
The irritable Cassandra immediately understood the origin of the trouble, and took off the broken hunting bow from the wall angrily, and then took a step and planned to walk out.
"That brainless idiot, you dare to borrow money from one-eyed man, don't you live?"
Xin Sheng did not stop Kassandra, but just slowly gave a sentence from behind her.
"So, our intelligence transaction was completed?"
Kassandra, who was angry, controlled her emotions: "The partner of the one-eyed man is right? I will investigate as soon as possible, just treat it as your reward for reminding me."
...
After Kassandra left, Natiya hurriedly followed.
This time, Kassandra did not stop him. Since Natiya was determined to do the mercenary career, it was time for her to see some world.
Xin Sheng told the two of them the location of Marcos' vineyard, just at the foot of the mountain south of Mount Enos.
The one-eyed man can be rampant in Kefalonia for many years, but he alone will definitely not be able to do so.
According to the information provided by the enthusiastic fisherman, the one-eyed man had at least a hundred people under his command.
Most of these bandits followed the one-eyed man to the fjords southeast of Kefalonia, and were "convincing" the unlucky captain and crew.
Xin Sheng deliberately encouraged Cassandra to investigate the one-eyed man who was idle and had nothing to do.
This is to let Cassandra help him share the pressure, attract some of the one-eyed men, and make it easier for him to rescue the captured unlucky captain.
What Xin Sheng said about the one-eyed man collaborator is not just a random word.
Based on the information found in a series of operations after entering the world, Xin Sheng has roughly sorted out the timeline.
The legendary mercenary Kassandra has not officially embarked on his legendary journey, and one of the members of the Order God Cult should have come to Kefalonia Island.
