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

Roro of the Forge scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and continued, "I can take you to Mu's Mansion, but they can't go. Ever since Mr. Mu returned to Jamir, he has never seen a woman."

"No woman in sight?"

"Yes, Mr. Mu specifically instructed that even if female Saints come to repair their Cloths, I should take them to them for them, otherwise Mr. Mu will be angry."

"Uh~"

Jia Long was speechless.

The three Suzaku girls also looked surprised and asked curiously, "Jia Long, does your friend Mu have any strange quirks?"

"This one……"

Jia Long really didn't know how to explain, so he could only vaguely say, "Mu is a good person. He just suffered a big blow and seems to be still traumatized."

"Psychological shadow?"

The three women were completely baffled, but Roro of the Forge understood what Jia Long meant. He couldn't help but nod emphatically in agreement, "Yes, it's a psychological trauma! Ever since that incident, Mr. Mu has changed. He used to be such a gentle and easy-going person, but now he's almost withdrawn."

"I wonder which heinous bastard tricked Mr. Mu so badly. If my Furnace Lord Luo Luo sees this, he will definitely teach him a lesson!"

"cough~"

Jia Long coughed, interrupting the indignant Luo Luo: "Since it's a rule set by Mu, we can't make things difficult for you. Let's go see him together."

"Well, that's best."

Upon hearing this, Luo Luo nodded repeatedly, and her goodwill towards Jia Long increased greatly: "Jialong, I can now be sure that you are Mr. Mu's friend. You two are the same, both very considerate and kind people."

"You're too kind, let's go."

"it is good."

……

After settling the three Suzaku girls in the ancient city, Jia Long, along with Xiaotianquan and Tianluzuo Luoluo, headed to Mu's Mansion.

Fornax Roro is a Bronze Saint who possesses supersonic speed. Along the way, fearing that Jalong wouldn't be able to keep up with his speed, he deliberately slowed down.

However, to his surprise, Jia Long followed very easily.

This surprised Luo Luo slightly. Seeing how relaxed Jia Long was, he quickened his pace, but Jia Long remained relaxed.

Moreover, not only was Jia Long relaxed, but even his dog was relaxed.

Luo Luo was even more surprised, and even a little ashamed. He couldn't help but speed up a bit, and then he noticed that Jia Long and Xiaotianquan were still behind him, so he sped up again...

When Roro finally broke the sound barrier and was covered in sweat, he felt utterly hopeless, but Jalon and his dog were still calmly following behind him.

Moreover, neither the person nor the dog was sweating at all; they seemed completely relaxed and at ease.

"Just who is this Mr. Mu's friend? How could I, a dignified Bronze Saint, be outrun by his dog?"

Fornax Lolo was deeply hurt.

"Don't worry about it, it's normal that you can't outrun it."

Seemingly sensing Lolo's thoughts, Jialong comforted him and casually changed the subject, asking, "Lolo, has something major happened to the Jamir tribe? Why are there so many guards in the city?"

“Mr. Galon, you may not be aware that recently, our Jamir clan has lost a lot of research materials related to the Saint Cloths, including the ‘Vulcan's Notebook’ which has always been kept under strict guard within the clan.”

After this "race," Roro's attitude towards Jalong became much more respectful. When Jalong asked about matters within the tribe, Roro, out of a sense of "one of their own," did not conceal Jamil's situation.

"Lord Michelangelo, who is in charge of guarding our Jamil, has personally gone to investigate this matter. At the same time, he has also strictly ordered us to strengthen our defenses. If you were not Mr. Mu's friend, I would not have dared to leave my post and bring you to Mu's Mansion today."

"The Saint Cloth research data was stolen?"

Jia Long's eyes flickered, but before he could ask any more questions, the two had already arrived at the peak where Mu Zhi Guan was located.

This is a mountain peak with an altitude of over 6,000 meters.

The air was so thin that it was difficult to breathe, which is why Roro was panting all the way here.

“Mr. Galon, the graveyard of Saint Cloths is just ahead. It’s very dangerous inside, and the air gets thinner. Many fighters who came here on their own have died in the graveyard because they were exhausted.”

Although he knew that Jia Long was very strong, Roro still kindly reminded him: "When we enter the Saint Cloth Graveyard, we must not look back or walk to the left or right."

Unlike Dohko, who likes to be mysterious in the manga, Roro directly tells Jalon the reason: you can't go to the left or right because the Cloth Graveyard has cliffs on both sides that lead directly to the underworld, and you can't look back because human eyes will attract the ghost Saints in the graveyard.

The so-called Graveyard of Cloths is actually the battlefield of ancient holy wars. The remnants of the Cloths on the battlefield contain the obsessions of the fallen warriors. Influenced by the special geographical environment, these obsessions have not only not dissipated since ancient times, but have also been transformed into resentment by the underworld atmosphere within the graveyard, becoming ghostly Saints who will actively attack humans.

If humans rashly enter the Graveyard of Cloths, walking on the narrow stone wall like a log bridge, with sheer cliffs on both sides and ghostly Saints in front and behind, they might be able to rush through the graveyard in one go if they are single-minded in their pursuit. However, if they hesitate even slightly, they will find themselves in a difficult situation surrounded by enemies, which will become even more dangerous.

In the manga, Shiryu charged through on sheer willpower.

Now, Luo Luo is also preparing to have Jia Long do the same.

"understood."

Although he didn't really care, Jia Long nodded to show that he understood.

Luo Luo was relieved.

The two men and the dog then entered the Graveyard of Saint Cloths, a ghostly area that seemed to have been sealed off. It was pitch black, with scattered remains of warriors from ancient times to the present, dressed in all sorts of ways they died. It was unknown how many holy wars this area had witnessed.

"Although this place is on the edge of the Graveyard of Cloths, powerful Ghost Warriors sometimes appear here..."

Before Roro could finish speaking, several ghostly Saints dressed in tattered armor blocked their path. Sensing the aura of their Cosmo, Roro's expression changed drastically.

"Oh no, it's a rare Ghost Saint who's at the late stage of the Sixth Sense!"

Chapter 263 Saint Cloth! Mu's Latest Design

Although Jia Long and his companion did not turn around, they still attracted the ghostly Saints. Several rotting, skeleton-like figures appeared before them, wearing tattered Saint Cloths whose constellations were difficult to identify.

What followed was a sinister, grating laugh born of its resentment.

"You two brats, where are you going?"

"This is a forbidden area set up by Lord Shion. No one is allowed to enter. If you don't want to die, get back now! Otherwise, you'll end up like us, haunted here forever by your obsessions after death..."

Seeing these powerful ghost warriors, Roro's face turned pale with horror. Just then, the dog beneath their feet foolishly turned around and barked at them, instantly attracting a large number of ghost warriors, whose strength ranged from the early stage of the sixth sense to the peak of the sixth sense.

There were even a few whose cultivation levels were difficult for Luo Luo to discern; he only felt that their auras were so terrifying that he couldn't help but tremble all over.

Why would such a powerful ghost saint appear?

"This graveyard was once protected by a barrier; only the aura of powerful warriors would attract powerful ghostly Saints. Could it be..."

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, Luo Luo was sweating profusely. Just when he was feeling utterly hopeless, he suddenly noticed that Jia Long beside him still looked relaxed, and he was immediately startled:

"Could these ghostly Saints have been summoned by Mr. Kanon? Is Mr. Kanon, like Mr. Mu, one of the hidden powerhouses of our Sanctuary?!"

Just as Roro was shocked, the ghostly Saints from both sides rushed towards him with boundless resentment. Upon seeing this, Roro could no longer think about anything else and gritted his teeth to burn his Cosmo with all his might.

"Wearing the Bronze Cloth, I can't rely entirely on Mr. Galon. I'll risk it all! The Fiery Forge... Huh?!"

"Wang!"

Just as Roro unleashed the martial prowess of a Bronze Saint, a dog's bark interrupted his fighting technique. Before he could even make a move, the Celestial Hound had already transformed into a golden light and pounced out.

"Bang bang bang~"

In an instant, the ghostly Saints who rushed forward were smashed to pieces, and then with a flash of golden light, they rushed back towards Roro and Jalon's back. Before Roro could even blink, the ghostly Saints behind him were swept away by the Howling Celestial Dog.

"Sigh~"

Seeing this, Roro's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Even though he found it incredibly hard to accept, he had to admit...

He's worse than a dog!

What kind of dog is this?

How could it be so powerful?

I've never heard any other Saint Seiya mention that there are such powerful dogs in Sanctuary.

"It seems that the foundation of our Holy Domain is truly unfathomable!"

Instantly, Roro's pride as a Saint surged. He looked at the dog's owner with sparkling eyes: "Mr. Kanon, so you are a powerful summoning Saint, just like Lord Chinian of Corvus. Is this dog your summoned beast?"

"No, it's just a dog."

Jia Long shook his head and continued walking forward under Luo Luo's astonished gaze.

Along the way, whenever anyone tried to block their path, Jia Long would simply point and these fearsome ghost warriors were all fed to the dogs.

"Although Mr. Kanon won't admit it, he must be a summoning-type Saint! Could he be the legendary Orion Silver Saint? It must be!"

Once the two people and the dog had successfully left the Saint Cloth Graveyard, Roro was basically certain of his guess.

His gaze toward Jia Long grew increasingly respectful.

……

Mu's Pavilion is an ancient tower located on a mountaintop. The tower has five stories and is covered with cracks. Strangely, there is no entrance or exit at the base of the tower.

“Mr. Mu, a friend of yours has come to visit you from the Holy Land.”

Faced with the Tower of No Doors, Roro did not take Jalon inside, but instead stood at the foot of the tower and shouted.

"Garon?"

Amidst the falling stardust, Mu's figure appeared outside the tower, and upon seeing Jia Long, he was immediately surprised and delighted.

After all, since that incident, Jia Long was the only person in the entire Holy Domain who was willing to believe him, which made Mu extremely grateful. Although the introverted man didn't say it, he kept it firmly in his heart.

"Long time no see, Mu."

Seeing Mu now, Jia Long was also very emotional. After so long, Mu had grown much taller and stronger. However, his expression was haggard and his eyes were evasive, giving people the feeling that he had social anxiety.

"Mu, it's not a good idea for you to just stay here like this. The Holy War is approaching, and as a Saint, you need to go out and meet people..."

"How can I go out and meet people?"

Seeing Jia Long immediately begin to comfort him, Mu felt grateful, but also couldn't help but complain with a sense of grievance:

"Garon, you don't know, but now, apart from you and Roro, every Saint Seiya looks at me with that kind of expression. I know what they're thinking even if they don't say it..."

"What's even more infuriating is that a few days ago, two female Saint Seiya warriors came, and I kindly helped them repair their Saint Cloths, but they secretly said behind my back that I was... a pervert who's worse than a scoundrel!"

As if he had found someone to confide in, Mu, who was usually taciturn, became more talkative.

Especially when the words "female Saint Seiya" are mentioned.

Jia Long could clearly sense the intense resentment in Mu's heart. That lingering resentment was clearly not only directed at Yura, but at all the female Saints, and even all women.
