Chapter 40 Nadia: Super fierce!
Xin Sheng is just an ordinary person who understands some future directions. It is unrealistic to decide the direction of war with his own strength.
But he can eliminate the unstable factor that drags his back within the selected camp - members of the Order God Cult, and indirectly affect the final outcome of the war.
The Order God Church has great ambitions, and they want to bring the power of the entire Greek from behind the scenes into their hands.
From this perspective, they hope that the longer the war between Sparta and Athens, the better.
The Order God Cult can earn a lot of money by reselling material to both sides, and through various disgraceful means, push the senior cadres who are placed in the two major city-states to the highest position of power.
As long as you control the two largest city-states, Sparta and Athens, at the same time, the entire Greece will become their puppets.
Xin Sheng went to Fokis to find clues about the Order God Cult. At least he had to figure out their organizational structure first, find out as much of the true identities of the members of the God Cult as possible, and then kill them one by one.
The currently available clues are provided by Cassandra, and Elpino will wait for her to report on the mission in the Port Town of Fokis.
On the other hand, the headquarter of the Order God is located in Delphi City, Fokis.
If Xin Sheng remembers correctly, the Order God Cult will hold a large gathering in the near future. He plans to find a way to get into the God Cult headquarters and explore the information at close range.
To attend the assembly, you must have a unique certificate from the members of the Godly Church - a small piece of fragments split from the Artifact of Eden, and a special robes and masks.
The robe and mask can protect Xin Sheng's true identity from being noticed, but it will also prevent him from knowing the true faces of other members.
Elpino is one of Xin Sheng's alternatives to attack.
Xin Sheng vaguely remembers that there are several major branches within the Order God Cult, and each branch is responsible for different tasks.
Xin Sheng couldn't remember the specific name of the branch to which Elpino belongs, but they probably remembered that they were responsible for intelligence collection.
Elpino is always in Fokis, very close to the headquarters of the Order Godhead. He is likely to be discovered by members of the Godhead who have been in contact with him for a long time.
‘Anyway, go to Elpino’s estate first, and maybe you can find some clues from his home.’
...
The Adristya stopped in the port town of Kira, south of Fokis. Xin Sheng took Natiya and said goodbye to Barnabas, Kassandra and others.
The Adristiya will continue to march eastward to Megalis, and finally arrive at the front barracks where the Spartan Blood Wolf commands the battle.
"Barnabas, don't forget our agreement."
"no problem."
Barnabas, who was driving the ship off the post, waved to Xin Sheng and assured: "After sending Cassandra, I will launch my own connections to investigate Sphinx."
"No matter what the result is, I will go to Delphi to ask Pitya before the end of the year and ask her to give me new guidance. We will see you in Delphi City then!"
Natiya stood blankly on the dock of the Kira Array, watching the Adristiya gradually fading away.
Kassandra stood at the stern of the boat and waved to Natiya until the Adristiya became an unpredictable dot. Natiya sighed and withdrew her gaze.
Knowing that Natiya was leaving her hometown for the first time, Xin Sheng did not interrupt her trance.
While Natiya was in a daze, Xin Sheng first walked around the port to inquire about the information.
The port of a coastal city is the most mixed place. The workers who are seeking life in the port are very well-informed. Xin Sheng quickly found out about Elpino's residence.
Elpino was a well-known businessman in Fokis. His manor was located in the heart of the town of Kira, close to the local leader's residence.
After taking a walk around the port and returning to the dock, Natiya came to her senses.
"Come with me."
Xin Sheng pointed to the prosperous center of Kira Town: "Let's find a place to stay first and then make a long-term plan."
Xin Sheng was not sure whether Elpino had eyeliners in the port. In order not to arouse suspicion, he did not go to Elpino's residence immediately, but first took Natiya to find a hotel in the city.
Xin Sheng had previously obtained hundreds of Drakmas in Isaki and Kefalonia's reverse robbers. Before leaving, Kassandra also gave him some money and asked him to help take care of Natiya.
Although hundreds of drachmas are not too many, they are enough to pay for travel expenses, and they can at least maintain a normal life for two people for several months.
The hotels of this era are very simple, and everyone sleeps in a large room with no distinction between men and women.
As an indigenous native of this world, Natiya has no objection to this. Instead, Xin Sheng, who is used to falling asleep alone, is a little uncomfortable.
Tortured by other passengers' snoring and teeth grinding sounds, Xin Sheng did not fall asleep in a daze until after 2 a.m.
“…Wake up, it’s time to get up!”
"Um?!"
Xin Sheng, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by someone. The habit he developed in the previous world made him reach out to touch the weapon beside the pillow as soon as possible.
"Rhubarb! Make it...uh?"
"Woo?"
The golden-colored Taihang dog lay beside his owner, and tilted his head in confusion after hearing the call.
Xin Sheng woke up from his sleep and noticed that it was not Dahuang who woke him up, but Natiya with a surprised look on his face.
"Huh~"
Putting down the alert, Xin Sheng rubbed his eyebrows with a bitter smile.
"Sorry, I thought I was in danger."
Natiya understood Xin Sheng's reaction: "I understand, you are a hunter and often camp in the wild. You really need to be vigilant at all times."
"Get up, have breakfast first."
"According to the agreement, I will tell you all the fighting training methods that Kassandra taught me."
"You'd better prepare yourself in advance."
Natiya showed a gloating smirk on her face: "It's very hard."
...
In ancient Greece, where there was not much nighttime entertainment, people fell asleep and woke up early.
When he was woken up by Natiya, Xin Sheng subconsciously looked out the window.
At this time, the sky outside was still pitch dark, the bright moon was hanging high in the air, and the twinkling stars decorated the night sky with a particularly magnificent time, and there was still a while before the sunrise.
Other passengers who stayed in the hotel also got up one after another while yawning, packed up and prepared to continue on the road.
After simply having breakfast and feeding rhubarb and Daedalus, Natiya took Xin Sheng to the outskirts of Kira Town and entered a small woodland without people.
When we arrived at our destination, we finally saw some brilliance of the rising sun at the other end of the horizon, and a red sun was gradually rising from the sea.
"Take out your melee weapons and set your stance."
Natiya, who entered the teaching mode, raised her beautiful face, as if she wanted to imitate the stern expression of Kassandra when she taught herself, and looked like "I'm very fierce".
But Natiya is not Kassandra after all. The girl who lacks practical combat does not have the sharp aura of a hawk trainer. Her pretended mature look made Xin Sheng laugh in her heart.
He glanced at Natiya without any trace, and Xin Sheng complained in his heart, "Yes, you are indeed very fierce."
In order to give his agent little teacher some face, Xin Sheng did not mock Natiya's funny expression.
Pulling the hunting knife out from the side of his legs and crossing it to his chest, Xin Sheng lowered his center of gravity and posed for a fight.
Looking at the strangely shaped "short dagger" in Xin Sheng's hand, Natiya's expression became a little weird.
"That's it? Are you planning to use this dagger to defend yourself?"
Xin Sheng was stunned for a moment: "What else? I am a hunter, not a warrior wearing heavy armor. Carving too heavy weapons will affect my flexibility."
"Oh~"
Natiya smiled bitterly and rubbed her forehead: "...Forget it, I'll know if I hit it once."
