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

Although Pandora was a bit cold, she was still as loyal as ever, truly a good sister to Persephone!

She can finally bury that greatest shame of her life forever!

Reassured, Esther stopped being polite and said to Pandora, "Pandora, although I was tricked by that bastard Galon in the Sanctuary this time, it wasn't all for nothing. I found out Erii's whereabouts and also gained a great help in dealing with Galon... the former Pope Shion!"

However, since Shion has just joined the Ghost Saints, there isn't a Ghost Cloth for him in Troy yet. I'd like to borrow your Lone Star...

"Estelle, you want to forge the Ghost Cloth? Are you in a hurry?"

"It's urgent! Erii is in Danube City in the Thousand Swamps Region. I must obtain her to restore my true form. Kanon also knows her whereabouts, and he will inevitably go to Danube City to stop me. At that time, Danube City will become the second battlefield between us Ghost Saints and Saints, and it will also be my best opportunity to avenge myself!"

"Understood, I will have Earth Lone Star help you."

"Furthermore, I'd like to borrow your general, Radamanthys, again. This time, on my journey to the Thousand Swamps, I can only take half of the Ghost Gold Saints with me. To defend the Sanctuary, Ophiuchus Odysseus must guard Troy, and that bastard Kanon is both powerful and cunning..."

“Well… alright, I’ll have Rhadamanthus go with you to the Thousand Swamps.”

"besides……"

"Anything else? Esther, can't you just say what you want all at once? Tell me, who else do you want to borrow?"

I want to borrow... you!

"?!"

……

While the underworld was preparing for war, Jia Long, far away in the Holy Land, encountered a troublesome matter.

The envoy from the Ice Realm has arrived.

In order to quell the wrath of the Sanctuary, Hilda sent Alberich, the first sage of the Asaph Palace and a skeleton elf from the planet Tianquan.

Alberich, representing the Asar clan, expressed sincere apologies to the Sanctuary, claiming that the Ice Warriors' attacks on the Saints were all Xue Du's own doing, an act of personal revenge and misuse of public resources, and that the Ice Realm was unaware of it. Furthermore, after Bado, the Dark Star of Mizar, returned and confessed, Princess Hilda was furious and convened a royal court meeting that very night, announcing the removal of Xue Du from all his positions inside and outside the royal court, and even revoking his Ice Armor and expelling him from the Big Dipper.

Alberich also stated that the Sanctuary and the Ice Realm have been staunch allies since ancient times. Princess Hilda cherishes her friendship with the Sanctuary and attaches great importance to cooperation with it, especially given the current dire situation of the gods descending to earth. She hopes that both sides can put aside their differences and join hands to face the upcoming brutal holy war.

To express her sincerity, repair relations, and restore the close ties between the Sanctuary and the Ice Realm, Hilda, the future queen, is even willing to arrange a marriage with the Sanctuary. She hopes that Kanon, the Gemini Gold Saint of the Sanctuary, can marry into her family and become her husband.

"What?! Hilda wants me to marry into the Ice Kingdom?!"

Inside the Gemini Palace, as Aiolos and Alex solemnly conveyed the Ice Domain's request to Jalong, Jalong, who was drinking water, almost spat it out.

"Is this woman crazy? She clearly hates me to death!"

"Lord Galon, the Ice Domain is using a strategy of retreat to advance. Whether you agree to this marriage or not, we can no longer pursue the matter of Xue Du."

Alex analyzed, "After all, Princess Hilda has already made the greatest sacrifice. She is willing to condescend to become a Saint's wife. If we keep harping on the matter of Xue Du, it would seem that we are not sincere enough."

Moreover, ultimately, the conflict between us and the Ice Domain is not insurmountable. In the upcoming holy war, we also need a powerful ally like the Ice Domain; after all, it's better to have one more enemy, isn't it?

Aiolos nodded in agreement, saying, "Speaking of which, I also refused their marriage proposal before. Galon, if you refuse the Ice Domain again now, I'm afraid the Ice Domain will really misunderstand our sincerity."

Jia Long couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Then you might as well go and marry into the family."

“I already have dogma.”

Can dogma be your wife?

"can."

"Uh~"

Looking at the serious-looking Aiolos, Garon was speechless. At this moment, Alex interjected, "Lord Garon, please make a decision on this matter as soon as possible. The Ice Domain Envoy Alberich is still waiting for our reply."

"No one would be willing to go, but we can't let them get away with this and then complain..."

After a moment's thought, Jia Long said to Alex, "Alex, go and tell Alberich that I have agreed to this marriage, but I will not marry into the Ice Domain. If Hilda is willing to marry, let her come to the Holy Domain!"

Alex was taken aback: "This... Princess Hilda is the future Queen of the Ice Domain, how could she possibly marry into our Holy Domain?"

"Then let's go and argue with them. Remember to take it seriously and try every means to get the ball back in our hands, so that others won't say we're not sincere."

Jia Long laughed and said, "Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you. I still have to go to the Thousand Swamps Domain, and I don't have time to play around with Hilda here."

Jalon's words set the tone for this marriage. In any case, neither he nor Hilda truly wanted to marry, and no matter how long they dragged it out, it would ultimately end inconclusively.

However, relations with the Ice Domain will definitely improve.

Aiolos and Alex nodded in agreement.

The three then put aside the matter of the marriage alliance and began to discuss the more important issue of Erii, the reincarnation of the goddess of discord.

When asked which Saints he needed to take to the Thousand Swamps, Jia Long replied...

Jia Long shook his head and said calmly:

"One dog and I are enough for me."

Chapter 338 Reunion! High School of Gods (Part 1)

Jia Long said that one person and one dog would be enough, but in reality, it was because the Holy Land had no one else available.

Athena and the Bronze Saints are still children.

Silver is waiting to be upgraded and recycled.

Most of the Gold Saints are still in their growth stage. The only two who can stand alone are Aiolos and Dohko. One is a ghostly Saint who is to guard the Sanctuary and defend the ruins of Troy, and the other is a demon star who is to guard the Dao Domain and defend against Hades' army.

The Holy Land is currently in its most difficult period, facing a generational gap and a lack of capable successors.

Jia Long had no choice but to shoulder the heavy responsibility and travel alone to the Thousand Marshes Domain.

However, it's not just the Sanctuary that's suffering now; the Underworld is in a similar predicament. As long as the newly emerging Goddess of Discord and the Ghost Saints are suppressed, the Underworld will probably be peaceful for a long time.

Other reincarnated main god forces are mostly in the early stages of establishing themselves in the human world, and are equally incapable of instigating a large-scale holy war.

In short, everyone is accumulating strength.

These reincarnated gods didn't show themselves, and Jia Long didn't want to provoke them.

For this trip to Danube City, Jia Long's idea was simple: to bring back Erii if possible; if he couldn't, he would find a way to sabotage Esther's actions. In short, he couldn't let the true Goddess of Conflict appear in the world.

……

The Thousand Marshes Domain, located in the southwest of the world, is an area where people of various races from both the East and the West live together.

The Land of a Thousand Lakes is the name given by Easterners, while Westerners prefer to call it the Land of Moon Shadows because this region has many rivers and lakes, and every night the moonlight reflects on these rivers and lakes, creating a beautiful scene of thousands upon thousands of moon shadows.

A thousand marshes reflect a thousand moons, and all that is reflected in the water is captured in the image of the moon.

The poetic people of the East named this continent the Land of a Thousand Marshes.

The Domain of a Thousand Swamps has a poetic name and a relatively developed economy. Even though it, along with the Domain of Riots where the Southern Front of the Holy Domain is located and the Domain of Crimson, together form the Mesopotamian region, it is a rare haven in the southern part of the land where faith is in chaos.

Although the Thousand Swamps Domain was not far from the southern front, Jia Long did not visit Aphrodite, Camus, Shura, and the others. Instead, he went directly to Danube City, the capital of the Thousand Swamps Domain.

Danube is a beautiful city, an international metropolis with a population of over ten million, and a cultural center where various faiths converge in Mesopotamia.

This metropolis is home to a variety of church organizations, including the Church of the Goddess, the external affairs agency of the Sanctuary, which is also one of the most influential forces in Danube City.

Jia Long quickly located the location of the Church of the Goddess within the city.

A solemn and majestic church.

The church was filled with clergy who appeared very busy, but when Jalon presented the letter from the Sanctuary, he was immediately ushered into the office of Father Adrian, the head of the Goddess Church branch.

"Mr. Galon, we have compiled detailed information about Erii overnight. Please take a look. In addition, we have received orders from headquarters to follow your instructions during this period..."

Adrian's attitude was impeccable.

This seemingly venerable priest possessed a shrewdness that even the Saint Seiya lacked. Although he appeared old enough to be Jia Long's grandfather, he still treated Jia Long with utmost respect.

Although he did not know Jia Long's identity.

It's unclear why this young man traveled such a long distance to find an ordinary female student.

But he sensed something unusual in the orders from the church headquarters.

In the past, when people from the Holy Land came to Danube City to carry out missions, the orders from the Church headquarters were mostly to assist or cooperate. But this time, the headquarters used the tone of "obey orders" and "follow orders," which made him realize that Jia Long was special.

Therefore, even though Jia Long looked like a teenager and there was nothing unusual about him except for a big dog, Adrian dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest, for fear of displeasing the other party and causing trouble.

After all, their superior, Gigas, was still imprisoned in the Sanctuary's water dungeon.

Moreover, according to the priests in the East, the one sent by the Sanctuary to take away Gigas was a boy who was only a little over ten years old.

the other side.

Jia Long paid no attention to Adrian's thoughts; his focus was entirely on Erii's information.

The information provided by the Church of the Goddess of Danube was similar to that of the Sanctuary, but more detailed, especially regarding Erii's background and origins, which Adrian and his group had clearly investigated in depth.

It is true that Erii's parents are dead, but after Adrian sent people to investigate, they found that Erii was not her parents' biological child, nor was she adopted from an orphanage. The hospital where she was born did not issue her a birth certificate, and the orphanage did not have any relevant adoption certificate. It was as if she suddenly appeared in her parents' lives.

This aligns with the concept of divine reincarnation, and is similar to what Jalong learned from Pandora.

According to Pandora, the goddess of discord was cursed by Hera, the queen of the gods, causing her two personalities to split into two, one good and one evil. Each time she escaped the abyss, she would reincarnate in the human world as a twin.

The evil form is Esther.

The virtuous body is adorned with embroidered pear blossoms.

The two are real twin sisters, identical except for their hair color.

Besides her background, another thing that caught Jia Long's attention was Erii's upbringing.

After her parents died, Erii entered an orphanage and grew up with the help of society. After entering high school, she always used her spare time to volunteer at the church's orphanage.

This is the information Jia Long obtained in the Sanctuary.

However, the information provided by Adrian was somewhat different. Erii had indeed been volunteering at the church's orphanage, but this church was not the goddess church of the Sanctuary, but the moon goddess church that worshipped the moon goddess Artemis.

This is an ancient church that had been dormant for a long time, but has recently become very active.

Moreover, its relationship with the Church of Goddess was not harmonious.

Erii's parents were devotees of the moon goddess.

Erii grew up in the orphanage of the Moon Goddess Church.

Therefore, she also worships the moon goddess.

Moreover, she is a devout follower of the Moon Goddess and has even gained the approval of the Moon Goddess Church's higher-ups. It is said that she will become a formal clergy member of the church after completing her studies.

simply say.
