Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

Chapter 29 The Wind Rises! The Dark Palaces

Going to bed awakens my inner universe.

I awakened my ruling planet as soon as I got out of bed.

Jia Long's cultivation speed astonished Milo and Aphrodite, but this time the two tacitly refrained from revealing it to others.

After all, anything that gets passed on by the top echelons of the media is bound to be distorted.

The two of them didn't want to cause trouble.

not to mention……

"We all sleep under the same roof. If he says he'll wake up, does that make us look incompetent?"

"Why don't we start cultivating too?"

"Yes, we must cultivate!"

Milo and Aphrodite felt the pressure acutely, a pressure that made them reflect for a full five seconds.

"Milo, I'm going to sleep now. Lack of sleep can affect your skin."

“Aphrodite, what you said makes a lot of sense. We are at the age when we are growing, and we can’t let small things cause us to lose big ones.”

……

If the training to awaken one's cosmos is "movement," then the training to awaken one's guardian star is "stillness." Both of these are necessary training steps to become a Saint.

The Grand Canyon was eerily quiet.

All the young warriors assumed a meditative posture, tilting their heads back to observe the stars. Although this training was extremely tedious, not one of them dared to show the slightest boredom.

Because if they showed even the slightest sign of boredom, Albiot would immediately bombard them with a lecture, making them understand how wonderful a quiet world is.

This training has been going on for many days, and the little warriors who were meant to awaken have already awakened.

For those unawakened little warriors, the scorching sun and the ghostly star signs in broad daylight are quite remarkable.

Just when the young warriors were bored.

A cyan light flashed.

A warrior clad in a bronze armor that shimmered like stars descended onto the training ground. He strode up to Albiot and whispered something to him. Albiot immediately stood up with a serious expression.

"Today's training ends here. Go back and continue your training to awaken your guardian star. I will test you in a few days."

After giving a brief explanation, Albiot transformed into a silver streak and flew towards the Astrological Hill, with the unfamiliar Bronze Saint following closely behind.

"Wow~"

The young warriors scattered like birds and beasts, each with an expression of relief.

Jia Long didn't rush to leave. Although the Bronze Saint's voice was very low, Jia Long still managed to hear some things that interested him.

"Dark Saint Seiya?!"

Looking in the direction where Albiot and the other had left, Jia Long seemed to be deep in thought.

"Garon, what are you looking at? That guy is the Sextans of the Astrological House. He came to see Professor Albiot, probably to convey His Holiness the Pope's orders."

"Great! We've finally been waiting for Teacher Albio to go on a mission. We're free!!"

Milo walked over excitedly, with Aphrodite by his side.

"What, is Professor Albiot also going on a mission?"

"of course."

Seeing Jia Long's confusion, Milo explained with a knowing look, "Since the age of mythology, the 88 Saints have never been at full strength, but there are 88 continents in this world, and each continent has several countries. You do the math..."

“Where does the Sanctuary have so many Saints to use? Right now, the entire Sanctuary, apart from the candidate Saints, all the other Saints, trainee Saints, and Saints are out on missions, and Teacher Albiot is no exception.”

Milo grew up in the Sanctuary and knows better than anyone how busy the Saints are.

He's always busy with internal affairs in the Holy Land.

When there's trouble, I have to travel all over the world.

"Everyone outside says that the end of the universe is where the warriors are, and the Saint Seiya are even more glamorous, but that's just superficial glamour. In reality, almost every Saint Seiya is a 7240 worker!"

"Workers from 7240?"

"We're just workers who work 24/7 with no pay, and even that's not enough for His Holiness the Pope. He always compares us to the ascetics of over 200 years ago. Sigh, what era are we living in?"

"Uh~"

Jia Long and Aphrodite were both astonished, especially Jia Long, who suddenly felt that the good fortune from his previous life really was good fortune.

"So what's this about the Dark Saints?"

Since Milo is a Sanctuary expert, Jalon naturally can't let him go.

"They just can't stand those guys who betrayed the Sanctuary. His Holiness the Pope calls them fallen warriors. We in the Sanctuary didn't have time to deal with them before, but for some reason they've started causing trouble again in recent years. I heard it's quite a big commotion..."

"How big is it?"

"I heard they've established the Dark Twelve Palaces, aiming to replace the Zodiac Palaces and His Holiness the Pope as the guardians of the earth!"

"So fierce?"

Anyone can brag.

"I'm afraid it's not just boasting; even Professor Albio has been alerted. Things can't be that simple."

"So what? There are countless powerful figures in the Holy Domain; it's none of our business to worry about them."

"Well, that makes sense."

After a brief exchange, Jia Long discovered that Milo did know some inside information, but not much. Moreover, as Milo said, they weren't even Saints, so it wasn't their place to worry about such things.

But then again, he knew about the five Dark Lords, but what the hell were the Twelve Dark Palaces?

Shaking his head, Jia Long noticed that Milo wasn't in a hurry to leave and asked curiously, "Did you need something from me?"

Milo nodded: "Didn't I say I would repay you after I recovered?"

Jia Long: "Have you ever repaid me?"

Milo: "Is my injury healed?"

Jia Long: "..."

Milo: "There's a place on Canon Island where you can soak in hot springs, and it also hides amazing perks. Do you want to go?"

"Canon Island?!"

Jia Long was stunned. Wasn't Canon Island the island he had been thinking about every day but couldn't get to?

however.

Before Jia Long could agree, Aphrodite, standing to the side, already showed a look of longing on his face: "Hot springs?! I want to go!"

Milo rolled his eyes and said, "Get out of here, I'm not taking you with me."

"why?"

"I'm afraid you'll feel inferior when you see my powerful physique!"

"just you?"

"You're not convinced? Fine, I'll make you so ashamed you'll want to hide your head in the water and be too embarrassed to look at me!"

……

Canon Island.

An island filled with volcanic debris and shrouded in mist.

For more than 230 years, a legend of a ghost has been passed down on Kanon Island. It is said that a powerful evil spirit is hiding on Kanon Island. He often roars with the rumble of the volcano. He likes to eat lava raw and even craves to eat human flesh raw!

It is said that any human who encounters this evil spirit will either be killed or gain immense power.

Many warriors who craved power disappeared here.

Later, the Pope designated this place as a forbidden area.

Then, about 30 years ago, the Silver Saint of the Crater constellation, one of the Four Guardians, came here, and the legend of the demons of Kanon Island came to an end. After that, this place became a place for the Saints to heal their wounds.

The volcanic hot springs here are truly amazing; they can not only heal injuries, but also remove scars, moisturize, whiten, and beautify the skin…

And at this time.

Inside the largest hot spring on Canon Island.

Milo, utterly humiliated, buried his head deep in the water, not daring to even look up at Aphrodite and Jalon across from him...

Chapter 30 Yura! The Person Standing at the Pinnacle of Female Saints

"Comfortable~"

Jia Long wiped the water off his body with a sigh of relief. He had to admit, the hot springs on Kanon Island were really good. After just a short soak, all the fatigue from the training camp disappeared.

Looking at the other end of the hot spring, Aphrodite was also enjoying herself, blowing on the steam and having a great time. This girl looks like a little girl, but she is actually a precocious genius.

Jia Long looked down at the water and thought to himself that he was not bad either, and could be described as having a dignified appearance and being a dragon among men.

But Milo...

Yes, as expected of the man who wields the Scorpio Scarlet Needle!

"Milo, the amazing perk you're talking about, it can't be this hot spring, can it?"

"of course not."

With a splash, Milo's head surfaced and looked at Jia Long and the other man.

His expression was twisted, the kind of twisted expression that shows he was clearly envious, jealous, and hateful, but he pretended to be indifferent.

Do you know what you might encounter on this island?

"ghost?"

"No, they're even rarer than ghosts."
