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

Jalon had to admit that Hilda's words made a lot of sense and were logically consistent, with each point leading to the next. If he weren't a Gemini, he might actually have believed them.

"Alright, I can tell you about the patterns of Gemini life that I know. Hopefully, your fierce tiger Xue Du will be more reliable."

"Don't worry, Hailong, Xue Du won't let us down!"

Hilda finished speaking with great confidence, then changed the subject, saying, "Moreover, I have decided to send him to Mithril Demon Island to assassinate the Saints. You will soon witness Xue Du's immense power!"

"oh?!"

"Do you think I, Hilda, would just watch the Sanctuary occupy Mithril Demon Island? Hmph, this time, I'll make sure they have a chance to get on the island but not leave alive!"

Hilda laughed smugly, "Afterwards, we can easily shift the blame to the ghostly Saints on the island."

"good idea."

Jia Long laughed upon hearing this: "Do you need my help?"

"No need!"

Hilda waved her hand with an air of dominance:

"Having Xue Du is enough. You know, Xue Du isn't just one person..."

……

Hilda spoke privately with Jaron until late into the night before finally leaving, satisfied.

This time she got the information she wanted.

To solidify their cooperative relationship, Hilda felt it necessary to demonstrate the power of the Ice Realm to her ally. She decided to summon the Tiger, Xue Du, upon returning home that very night and entrust him with the crucial mission of assassinating Gemini Galon.

"I'm sure Xue Du would be very happy to take on this glorious mission..."

With this thought in mind, Hilda rode her eight-legged warhorse and disappeared into the horizon.

"My benefactor, if Princess Hilda knew your true identity, wouldn't she hate you to death!"

"How could that be? We are close allies."

Standing outside the royal court, watching the distant flames fade away, Jia Long smiled contentedly, feeling that coming to Coral Island on this trip was absolutely the right decision.

I've unexpectedly encountered such a cute enemy.

Jalong would like as many enemies as possible, like Hilda.

“My benefactor, stop looking. Even if you keep looking, Princess Hilda won’t like you. She likes women.”

"how do you know?"

“She told me herself.”

"Huh?! Is she trying to steal my girlfriend?"

In an instant, Jalon suddenly felt that Hilda was no longer lovable.

“My benefactor, you should go back to your studies.”

"what?!"

In the end, Jia Long still arrived at the hot spring, because the mermaid queen and the others not only waited for him, but also lit candles for him.

He couldn't help but study by candlelight late into the night.

Fortunately, the sea warriors on the Arctic Ocean acted quickly and had already sent him information about Mithril Demon Island.

Jia Long decided to study it carefully by candlelight late into the night.

"It turns out that the ghostly Saints on Mithril Demon Island had appeared long ago. That old guy Trevor even went to the island to try to wipe them out, but he failed and had to leave, ultimately having no choice but to allow them to exist in the Arctic Ocean..."

The information within the intelligence report made Jia Long think.

According to intelligence records, the Ghost Saints on Mithril Demon Island should have appeared more than ten years ago, or even decades ago, or even earlier.

This aligns with Alex's statement that Pope Shion once coveted the island but abandoned the idea due to the existence of the Ghost Saints, suggesting that the Ghost Saints appeared long ago.

To Jia Long's surprise, according to the information he received from Night Owl Partita, the goddess of discord, Eris should have just been reincarnated.

So……

Who resurrected the ghostly Saints on Mithril Demon Island?

Who can borrow the power of the goddess of conflict?

Besides the Three Crows, are there any even more powerful beings on Mithril Demon Island?

"Whoo~"

As the spring water beneath him surged, Jia Long slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. In his moment of enlightenment, he suddenly realized that this trip to Mithril Demon Island was not as simple as he had imagined.

"Never mind, everything will be clear once we get to the island."

……

The Ice Realm, the Palace of Asa.

A figure brimming with murderous intent appeared in the royal court. He was dressed in a jet-black tiger-patterned armor, carrying a helmet, and strode in with his head held high and chest out, exuding an aura of invincible bravery.

"Your subordinate, Xue Du, the fierce tiger of Kaiyang Star, pays his respects to Your Highness!"

Through the thin curtain, the fierce tiger Xue Du knelt on one knee, then raised his head with an extremely proud expression, looking at Hilda inside the curtain, and coldly said:

"Your Highness has summoned me late at night, surely to give me an important task. As your most valiant and fearless warrior, I, Xue Du, am willing to take the head of any enemy for you!"

“Very good, Xue Du, among the seven Ice Warriors of my Asa clan, only you will never disappoint me…”

Seeing Xue Du's confident demeanor, Hilda inside the curtain couldn't help but nod in praise, then said leisurely, "Today, I boasted to our close ally, General Hailong, that you could definitely get us the head of a Saint Seiya. Xue Du, are you confident you can do it?"

"of course."

Upon hearing this, Xue Du proudly replied, "Let alone a mere ordinary Saint, even the Zodiac Palaces, which are said to be unbreakable, I, Xue Du, am confident that I can conquer them!"

"Excellent! As expected of a fierce tiger!"

Upon hearing this, Hilda exclaimed in admiration once more, then ordered in a deep voice, "Then go to the Zodiac and retrieve the head of Gemini Galon for me!"

"Your Highness Hilda, who were you just talking about?"

"Garon!"

"Boom~"

Sorry, no updates tonight.

Updates might be a bit scattered these next couple of days. My child took the high school entrance exam, and the results are coming out tonight. I'm currently busy checking the scores, and tomorrow and the day after, I'll be researching college applications. My eldest is a good student, and several high schools have already approached me. I might need to visit some of them to see the actual situation. I simply don't feel like writing tonight, and during the day I'm constantly in meetings, so I can only squeeze in some writing whenever I have a spare moment. I'll resume regular updates after these next couple of days, and I'll definitely make up for any missed updates.

Chapter 306 Demon Island! The Twin Elite Team's Practical Lesson

Upon hearing the name Galon, his helmet fell off with a thud, and Xue Du, who had been kneeling on one knee with his upper body ramrod straight, stumbled and was about to fall to the ground as usual.

Fortunately, a gust of wind rose from behind him, supporting Xue Du's swaying figure and preventing him from making a fool of himself in front of Hilda.

However, this anomaly still caught Hilda's attention.

"Xue Du, what's wrong?"

"I am fine; it's just a recurrence of an old childhood ailment."

Xue Du shook his head sharply, dispelling the fear in his mind. He picked up his helmet and straightened up again to look at Hilda:

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, once the mission to Mithril Demon Island is completed, I will travel to the Sacred Zodiac Palace and retrieve the head of Taurus for you!"

"Very good... Taurus?!"

Hilda was nodding inside the curtain when suddenly her beautiful eyes widened in surprise: "Xuedu, you seem to have made a mistake. I need you to assassinate Gemini Kanon!"

"Boom~"

Before Hilda could finish speaking, Xue Du's helmet fell to the ground again with a thud, and he staggered once more.

"Xue Du, has your old ailment flared up again?"

"Your subordinate is unharmed."

Xue Du hurriedly picked up the helmet and put it on. After a while, his expression regained its bravery and determination. He looked at Hilda with a murderous look:

"Your Highness, rest assured, as the most loyal warrior of the Asar race, I, Xue Du of Kaiyang Star, will never fail the name of the Viking Tiger. I will immediately head to Mithril Demon Island to set up an ambush and wipe out all the Saints who come here!"

After saying this, Xue Du bowed, tossed his cloak aside, turned around, and strode away with his head held high.

"This is the true tiger of my Asa race!"

Watching the tiger Xue Du strut away, Hilda's face showed satisfaction, and she couldn't help but raise her voice again to remind him:

"Xue Du, don't forget, there's still the assassination of Galon!"

"Dong~~"

……

Mithril Demon Island.

This is a mysterious island located at the junction of the Ice Age and the Arctic Ocean.

Although the island is extremely large, it is shrouded in a gray fog all year round. Even when the morning sun shines through the fog, only a hazy, illusory mirage can be vaguely seen on the sea, full of a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.

Normally, this island is considered a restricted area by the people of the Arctic Ocean.

Legend has it that this island is inhabited by a warrior representing death, who cruelly murders anyone who sets foot on it, and even the mighty Arctic Ocean General is unable to eradicate him.

Over time, no one dared to approach Mithril Demon Island anymore.

But today is an exception.

"Teacher Galon, is this the Mithril Demon Realm Island we've been looking for?"

"Ah."

The dimensional vortex opened, and Jia Long and the twin echelon students stepped out and appeared directly on the beach of Mithril Demon Island.

The Gemini team members have all donned their Dark Cloths.

They were all both excited and nervous as it was their first mission.

"Teacher Kanon, this island is so big, where are we going to find the Ghost Saint?"
