Chapter 91 Darius' Entrustment
After sending Nix to the port in the east of Attica, the Adristia headed north along the coastline, passing through Bootia to Roccoris.
Roccoris' territory is small, but it is very important to the entire Greek world because it is the only large salt-producing land in Greece.
After stopping at the dock at the Port of Opas, Barnabas first invited sailors to unload the goods and completed the shipping orders previously received in Athens City.
Opes Port is not large in size and has a large population, but this port town is very vibrant, and local residents start working hard in the salt fields early in the morning.
Xin Sheng handed over the task of buying salt to Barnabas and Herodotus to deal with it, and went to the groves in the northern suburbs of Opes Port alone.
Before getting off the boat, Daedalus found Nima's trace from the sky.
In order to facilitate Xin Sheng's search, Darius asked her to deliberately expose her to camp outside the woods, while she hid in the dark to monitor the movements around her.
Darius was a little too nervous about his defense, but considering the previous experience of the father and daughter, Xin Sheng couldn't say much about it.
"I've been missing for a month, Nima."
Xin Sheng walked to the camp fire and waved to Nima. Nima also stood up politely to give gifts to Xin Sheng.
"I have heard of Ekezias and the death of the 'master', where is your father?"
"here."
The sudden old voice from behind scared Xin Sheng.
‘When? I didn’t feel it at all.’
In the crisis-ridden Greek wilderness, Xin Sheng asked himself that he had never relaxed his vigilance.
Darius could silently hide from a hunter who often walks in the wild. No wonder the legendary mercenary Ekezias died so suddenly.
Darius had no malice towards Xin Sheng. After appearing, he bypassed Xin Sheng's somewhat stiff body, sat next to his daughter, calmly tugging the bonfire with the branches.
"Huh~"
Xin Sheng rubbed his forehead with a bitter smile: "Old man, stop playing this next time, it's not good for the heart."
Darius snorted: "You are too relaxed, and the enemy will not tell you any rules."
"Father."
Nima stopped Darius' preaching with some blame and said to Xin Sheng apologetically: "Sorry, in order to prevent the ancient orderists who may appear at any time, my father has never relaxed his vigilance."
Darius once witnessed the battle at Hot Spring Pass with his own eyes.
The tragic battle took place in 480 BC, 50 years ago.
Darius, who had just joined the army at that time... Or Aldaban was only in his early 20s, but now he is over 70 years old.
According to common sense, the physical fitness of a 70-year-old person will decline sharply, which is a natural law that humans cannot break through.
Darius's skills are still agile. Although his physical condition is not as good as his peak in his youth, the accumulation of time has made his experience more sophisticated and his skills are almost at the pinnacle.
Long-term exercise has caused his physical decline much slower than that of the elderly of his age. Xin Sheng even felt that even Cassandra and Darius faced each other head-on may not be able to completely gain the upper hand.
Darius is not a dirty blood person with Ishu's bloodline. Being able to temper his body and skills to this level can be said to have reached the limit of mortals.
