Kassandra noticed Xin Sheng's frown and hesitated.

If you hesitate, it means there is a possibility of success. Cassandra struck while the iron was hot and said, "Of course, I won't let you do it in vain."

"In the previous battle with the One-Eyed Man, I noticed that your close combat skills were very... unfamiliar."

Perhaps because of Xin Sheng's face, Kassandra's words are more conservative, but in fact she wants to say it's awkward.

His family knows his own affairs, and Xin Sheng knows that his close combat ability is very bad, and he is not even counted as a skill by the system.

Kassandra continued: "I received regular Spartan warrior training taught by Nicolaos since I was a child, and Natiya was trained and raised in the same way since I was a child."

"If you agree to help me take care of Natiya for the time being, I can ask her to tell you about this training method."

"With your physical fitness, you should be able to grasp the essence quickly and effectively improve your close combat ability."

‘Is Spartan training method…’

The conditions given by Kassandra made Xin Sheng a little moved.

It is not a secret that the Spartans train their children, but it is not something that anyone can know.

Compared with Athens, which has stronger overall national strength, Sparta's economy and culture are far inferior in all aspects.

The confidence they can now suppress the Tirol League is the strong military strength of the Spartans.

In the battle of Hot Spring Pass that year, 300 Spartan warriors, led by the legendary king Leonidas, dragged down the Persian army for three days.

The Spartans' bravery was manifested in the arrival of reinforcements from Greek city-states to gain valuable time, which directly affected the final outcome of the war.

According to later research, the so-called Spartan 300 warriors is actually an exaggerated artistic description method.

In fact, including the soldiers sent by the city-states to reinforce in advance, and the Black Rous slave army brought by Sparta itself, the number of defenders in Hot Spring Pass should be about 7,000.

Even so, delaying the army of more than 200,000 for three days with 7,000 people is an amazing feat.

In the modern era when Xin Sheng lived, the Spartans were still an indomitable symbol of the spirit of warriors, and the combat ability and fighting will of the Spartan warriors can be seen from this.

Kassandra did not explain in detail, but Xin Sheng knew some inside story.

The training method taught by Kassandra's parents Nicolaos and Mirinee was not the main product of the ordinary Spartan family, but a special training method handed down by Kassandra's grandfather, the legendary king Leonidas.

Kassandra inherited the bloodline and weapons of her grandfather Leonidas. The broken spear in her hand was used by Leonidas in the Battle of Hot Spring Pass.

Xin Sheng also knew that this broken spear is actually an Eden artifact, which can increase the holder's nerve reflex speed and sixth sense, and can even achieve a small-scale predictive effect in combat.

Each artifact of Eden has its own magical effects. Only the Yishu hybrid who inherits the blood of the pioneer can play the true role of these artifacts.

Kassandra's mother Mirne was the daughter of Leonidas and inherited the excellent bloodline of King Leonidas.

Kassandra's biological father was not Nicolaos, but another mixed-race child who also inherited the bloodline of Ishu.

As the product of blood purification after the combination of the two, Kassandra and her younger brother have blood concentrations far exceeding other mixed-race children, and can maximize the ability of the Eden artifact without being affected by side effects.

Xin Sheng is an outsider and does not have the blood of Yishu. Even if he obtains the Artifact of Eden, his use efficiency is definitely not as good as Cassandra's younger brother Demus - or Alixios.

If the Ishu people of Olympus are gods, then these two siblings are the true demigods.

The power of the Eden Artifact in their hands can make ordinary people blinded the eyes of the dog. When the siblings fight, they are like they came from the wrong set from some mythical world.

As for Cassandra who returned from the Atlantis trial... Xin Sheng thought that he could no longer be considered a human being.

"Okay, I can take care of Natiya for you for the time being, but how long does this 'temporary' last?"

Melee skills are indeed Xin Sheng's shortcomings. He doesn't force himself to practice to the point where he can rush into the enemy group and get unparalleled, but at least he must have basic self-protection ability.

Hunters cannot find the output environment that suits them best in any environment. Bows and arrows have irreparable limitations in narrow terrain and environments with too many obstructions.

Xin Sheng has considered this.

By quickly switching weapons to deal with different environments, we can slightly cover up our shortcomings.

But a person has his limits to carrying weights and carrying weapons.

For example, in longer-distance combat, Xin Sheng can use long-distance shooting longbows with smoother ballistic trajectory.

In the middle distance battle, it is the short hunting bow he is most used and relatively easy to carry.

Closer combat can take small crossbows into consideration.

As for ultra-long-distance combat... why don’t you consider sniper rifles?

However, Xin Sheng's idea is to have space equipment that can switch weapons at any time, at least he cannot obtain it at this stage.

As an alternative, Xin Sheng intends to put the study plan of melee skills on the agenda.

You can't shoot at a long range as fierce as a tiger, and you'll be like ** when you're in close combat.

Xin Sheng knew very well that people's energy was limited, even if they had systematic help.

Due to the extremely lack of energy points, Xin Sheng could not train himself to become an all-around polygon warrior, which is why the system gives three choices in the novice gift package.

Since Xin Sheng chose to start with the hunter, what he needs to do next is to expand his strengths and make up for his shortcomings as much as possible if he has spare time.

Natiya and Xin Sheng have known each other for less than a week, and she must be reluctant to leave Kassandra to take care of her.

But Natiya is not an unreasonable shrew, knowing that Kassandra did not take her to Megalis for her own safety.

Under Fu Bo's envious eyes, Natiya followed Xin Sheng and stepped on the Adristya.

Before boarding the ship, Xin Sheng finally saw the legendary Marcos, but he did not communicate with the other party and left the space for farewell to Kassandra and Natiya.

...

After officially leaving the port of Sami Town, neither Kassandra nor Natiya were in a good mood.

The two stood at the stern of the boat, looking at the gradually moving away from Kefalonia Island silently.

Xin Sheng was standing next to Barnabas, who was controlling the rudder, chatting with him.

"Barnabas, where are you going after sending Kassandra and me ashore?"

Barnabas touched the messy beard on his chin and replied with some distress: "To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet."

"Adristiya is a high-speed expedition ship. Our purpose is to travel across Greece to find the source and truth of various myths and legends."

"Before coming to Kefalonia, I planned to pursue the legend of the Cyclops all the way, but this encounter reminded me of it."

Barnabas said with a wry smile: "If we don't have enough strength, even if we see the legendary mythical creatures, we are just food to deliver to our door."

"After I settled down this time, I should take a short break, go to business, change my mood, and wait until I get rid of this shadow and start my adventure again."

The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional.

Barnabass's words made Xin Sheng feel moved, and this sentence is also worthy of warning to him.

Just as Barnabas said, if you don’t have enough strength, even if you find a mythical creature, you will be just killing me.

The reason why mythical creatures are called mythical creatures is because they have powerful strength that cannot be matched by humans and animals.

Among the four mythological creatures, Sphinx, who only needs to answer questions, is the best solution.

But her reward was the worst, and she was the only one of the four great beasts who could not obtain mythical weapons after defeating them.

Among the other three mythological creatures, Medusa has the ability to petrify enemies and summon helpers.

Minotaus has a relatively balanced ability in all aspects, and the instantaneous explosion of impact is his biggest killer move.

The Cyclops have infinite power. Its Cyclops can also shoot rays with amazing destructive power, and no one is easy to deal with.

At least Xin Sheng did not intend to come to challenge the door rashly until he had enough confidence.

But Sphinx...

‘Where is the Sphinx’s nest? It seems that you need to find a specific disc of Eden to wake it up from the seal.’

After rubbing his chin and thinking for a while, Xin Sheng decided to find someone to help find Sphinx's whereabouts while pursuing the Divine Cult.

"Barnabas, I have one thing I want to ask for help."

Barnabas laughed heartily: "Haha! No problem, you are my savior, I will definitely do my best to your request."

Xin Sheng smiled and patted the old captain on the shoulder: "Have you ever heard of the legend of Sphinx during your years of adventure?"

Barnabas raised his eyebrows: "Of course there are winged monsters who like to ask humans for answers to riddles. Legend has it that it is the messenger who executes divine punishment on behalf of the gods. Are you interested in Sphinx?"

"Um."

Xin Sheng asked in a seductive tone: "Do you want to meet the real Sphinx? I have a way to let you see the real thing and even communicate with it."
