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

Nacharsis's three consecutive questions left Alex speechless, as if struck by a thunderous roar.

Even on his way back, Nacharsis's metaphors for reform were still echoing in his ears.

"Innovation is not necessarily a bad thing. Take my right hand, for example. I've been used to using it for over fifty years, but it was injured by absolute zero during my trip to the Ice Domain. I had no choice but to switch to my left hand, and unexpectedly... it's even more useful than my right hand!"

……

Papal Palace.

With Alex's mediation, the little goldfish sat down together again.

They actually sat together.

The throne in the Papal Palace has been removed and replaced with a round table, modeled after the Twelve Knights of the Round Table, with a seat set up for each Gold Saint.

Minority must submit to majority rule!

The collective decision-making of the Gold Saints replaced the Pope's absolute authority.

The twelve Gold Saints are both decision-makers and executors. They can discuss anything openly and freely express their dissenting opinions, but once a matter is passed by vote, everyone must carry it out without fail.

This is the new set of rules of procedure in the Sanctuary, a product of compromise between the conservatives and the reformers, and the best way to end the conflict under the current circumstances.

Although it was a product of compromise.

But everyone knows in their hearts that it was actually the conservatives who compromised.

There was no other way. With the Pope dead, Mu didn't want to stay in the Sanctuary for even a day longer, while Aiolos kept clamoring to go to the front lines. Only Aiolos was left to hold the line alone. In order to prevent the doctrines of his faith from being extinguished in the Sanctuary, he had no choice but to back down and compromise.

As long as he's there, the spirit of dogma remains!

Today is the first meeting of the Twelve Gold Saints, and the discussion revolves around the aftermath of the Pope's affair.

However, to Aiolos's surprise, starting with Aldebaran, the first proposer, everyone's criticism was directed at him.

Aldebaran: "I think dogma should be abolished completely!"

Aiolos: "I disagree."

Aldebaran: "Alright, then improving the food at the Sanctuary is surely possible, right? After all, warriors need to constantly train and fight, so their nutrition needs to keep up. They can't just eat black bread every day, can they?"

Aiolos: "Well... okay."

The second proposal came from Aphrodite.

Aphrodite: "I think dogma should be abolished completely!"

Aiolos: "I disagree."

Aphrodite: "Alright, then surely we can increase the income of the Saints? After all, this isn't the Middle Ages anymore. Everything requires money, and the Saints can't be penniless, can they?"

Aiolos: "Well... okay."

The third suggestion came from Miro.

Milo: "I think dogma should be abolished completely!"

"?!"

Aiolos: "Milo, you guys teamed up to do this on purpose, didn't you?"

Having been repeatedly tricked, Aiolos grew somewhat angry.

Jia Long tried to smooth things over: "Alright, we're having a council meeting, not a complaining session. Ultimately, the treatment of Saint Seiya warriors is outdated, and we need to maintain the necessary dignity."

Aiolos interrupted, "But our Sanctuary has no funds!"

Jia Long retorted, "Then what about our funding? As far as I know, the Goddess Church raises a considerable amount of donations every year!"

Aiolos: "The Church of the Goddess used it to help the poor."

Jia Long snorted coldly:

"Using our meager funds to help those who are richer than us? Okay, that's one reason."

So why does the Goddess Church have sufficient funding? We all came from the church's training base; we should know what kind of lives those priests lead, right? Why should we shed blood and sacrifice our lives while they enjoy a peaceful life for us?

At this point, Jia Long's tone had become quite sharp.

"Therefore, I propose a thorough investigation of the Church of the Goddess, to give a satisfactory explanation to the eighty-eight Saints and more than ten thousand warriors who shed their blood and sacrificed their lives in the Sanctuary!"

Chapter 111 Change! The Twelve Round Table Fighters (Part 2)

Ultimately, Jia Long's proposal was approved.

Even Aiolos did not object to a thorough investigation of the Church of the Goddess. After all, it did not violate the dogma, and this matter was related to the operation of the Sanctuary. It had to be thoroughly investigated to give all the warriors an explanation.

Of course, these are minor matters for a Gold Saint.

The first major issue discussed at the meeting was how to mitigate the negative impact of the Pope's death, curb the arrogance of the Underworld, and refute external doubts about the Sanctuary.

Specifically, it refers to the Eastern Front!

After all, the Demon Star was sealed in the East, and once it was freed, the East would be their first target for causing trouble.

For example, Tianxiong Star, one of the three giants of the underworld, is hiding in the Eastern Buddhist realm.

Pandora, the commander of the underworld, is also likely to return to the East.

Someone must take charge of Eastern affairs, support Shaka and his allies in the Buddhist Realm, support Dohko in the Dao Realm, and unite with the allies of the Sanctuary to deliver a crushing blow to the Hades Army and restore the face lost by the Sanctuary!

Ultimately, the matter fell to Jia Longtou.

There's no way around it, he knows it well!

In addition, a breakthrough is needed on the southern front as soon as possible. The four Hero Kings have been entangled with the Sanctuary for too long. This time, Aiolos will personally lead the Golden Arrow to suppress them, and Aiolia will also participate in the battle.

As a result, half of the Gold Saints have already been dispatched on the eastern and southern fronts alone.

The Sanctuary also needs Gold Saints to guard it.

The issue of the Sea Emperor's revival can only be temporarily put aside by the Holy Land.

Fortunately, the Holy Land has a reliable ally. It is said that the Asa Temple has produced a princess who is both wise and brave. She is very courageous and has won the support of her warriors and the people. She is expected to become the Queen of the Ice Domain soon.

With this future queen around, even if there are disturbances in the sea, they won't be able to cause too much trouble in a short time.

……

All matters can be resolved in one meeting.

Alex, who was listening in, breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, if the Gold Saints can unite as one, the Sanctuary is quite efficient, and the power they unleash is even stronger than before.

For example, with six Gold Saints deployed this time, who would dare say that the Sanctuary is unreliable?

The others were also satisfied with the outcome of the meeting.

For example, Jia Long.

He had already begun to consider who to send to the Yama Kingdom to capture Gigas of the Goddess Church.

Didn't you want my orphanage?

Then I'll send you to the Holy Water Prison with a legitimate reason!

After thinking for a moment, Jia Long decided to send Bai Long to handle the matter.

After all, he didn't have the time to travel thousands of miles just to show off, but Bai Long could. Although this warrior was a bit arrogant, he was very serious and responsible in his work, so Jia Long felt at ease sending him there.

In addition, Bailong also likes to do things that allow him to show off, and he would probably be willing to do them even if they are a bit hard and tiring.

For example, Ioros.

Despite being repeatedly tricked, he managed to uphold the dignity of dogma!

For him, who was in the minority, this was undoubtedly a victory.

What he's currently struggling with is simply the "difficult environment" mentioned in the dogma—how difficult it should be, which requires further thought and refinement from him.

For example, Saga.

Unlike Jalon and Aiolos, he didn't gain any real benefits, but this meeting allowed him to find two good allies, Shura and Camus.

These two are staunch opponents of Ai!

The reason is that they transferred their hatred for the Pope onto Aiolos.

Both of them were in poor mental condition.

Since being released, Shura now feels the urge to swing his holy sword and kill anyone he hears that is associated with "holy" or "mother".

Camus fared even worse; everyone else at the meeting was wearing a helmet except for him.

During this time, he was so engrossed in studying that his hairline receded significantly, and he had pulled out all the hair in front of his forehead. If the Pope had died a few months later, Shaka would have laughed at him for being bald when he returned.

Saga felt that the two of them could discuss important matters.

Because we are all people who have experienced mental health issues.

So as soon as the meeting ended, Saga took the initiative to walk with Camus and Shura.

On the other side, Aiolos, Mu, and Aiolos also went together.

Of the remaining few, Aldebaran rushed off to the Sanctuary Dining Hall, while Deathmask returned to the Cancer Palace with solitary steps.

Milo and Aphrodite then sidled up to Jalong, excitedly asking about the East.

These two were the ones who went to the East with Jia Long this time.

Although Jia Long preferred Shura.

But unable to resist the two guys' persistent and persistent self-recommendation, Jia Long reluctantly agreed out of consideration for his roommates.

To be honest, Jia Long still doesn't know how to use Milo and Aphrodite.

Can I put it in?

……

After leaving the Papal Palace, Jia Long did not rush down the mountain, but stayed at the Gemini Palace.

He knew Saga would definitely come looking for him.

There are many topics to discuss at today's meeting, but there is one crucial issue that no one has raised at all.
