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

Sure enough, Aldebaran was holding a fish in his hand, a small fish of exceptionally beautiful color, which was struggling weakly in his large hand and looked very pitiful.

But who is Ardeba?

A man determined to become the God of Cookery!

How could he possibly let go of such a rare ingredient just because the fish are pitiful?

"Should we steam it? Or braise it? Or deep-fry it? Or..."

"Let's just eat sashimi. After all, precious ingredients only need simple cooking."

Arrudebana made up his mind.

The little fish in his hand seemed to understand human speech, and it struggled even more violently, its eyes becoming watery as if it were crying out of fear.

Jia Long was astonished to see this, and he couldn't help but recall a scene from a comic book.

Speaking of Poseidon's human form Julian, he also saved Little Fish, right?

And she was a little mermaid, too.

Looking at the fish in Aldebaran's hand, Jalon didn't know anything about sea fishing and couldn't tell what kind it was, but whether it was a mermaid or not, saving it wasn't a big deal for him.

Consider it buying a lottery ticket!

Thinking of this, Jalon stopped Aldebaran.

"Aldebaran, eating sashimi is too cruel. This little fish is so pitiful. Why don't we release it back into the wild?"

"Garon, you bad guy! I haven't even settled the score with you for throwing me into another dimension! Why should I listen to you?"

"Uh, this..."

After Aldebaran said that, Jalon remembered that he and Aldebaran had a grudge against each other for "picking up corpses".

Aldebaran is rather simple-minded and stubborn, so persuading him is not an easy task unless you can offer him something he desires.

"Aldebaran, if you give me Little Fish, I'll teach you a secret royal cooking technique from the East!"

"What?! The secret of royal cuisine from the East?"

"Ah."

"Galon, how do you know anything about Eastern cuisine?"

"What's so difficult about that? Listen carefully, so-called Eastern cooking is just slicing ginger, cutting scallions into sections... adding light and dark soy sauce together, and a tiny bit of salt..."

"Hiss~ That makes so much sense! It really is the style of Eastern cooking!"

Aldebaran stared wide-eyed at Jalong in disbelief, even forgetting the fish in his hand.

Jalong saw the longing in Aldebaran's eyes, as if a small universe was burning within them.

The only way to win over this simpleton is through cooking.

At this point, Jia Long's experience of watching food vlogs in his previous life came in handy.

"Listen carefully, the key to my secret Eastern royal cuisine is to steam meat with cinnamon, star anise, and galangal to make it fragrant; add cardamom to debone the meat and enhance its tenderness and aroma."

Licorice and pepper are the perfect pairing for a balanced flavor...

"Sigh~"

Aldebaran took a deep breath, as if listening to divine music, his expression becoming incredibly focused.

However, Jalong shut his mouth after saying a few words of incantation, which made Aldebaran extremely eager.

"Galon, what's next? What's next?"

"The fee will be charged below."

"TOLL?"

"Of course, why would I tell you such a secret technique for nothing?"

Moreover, the following are the specific operating methods, such as steaming lamb, steaming bear paw, steaming deer tail, roasting duck, roasting young chicken, roasting goose...

"Garon... I know the customs of the East. This little fish... is my gift for becoming your disciple. You must accept it, Master Garon!!"

At Aldebaran's earnest pleading, Galon finally obtained the beautiful little fish.

Strangely enough, the fish seemed to sense Jia Long's goodwill and immediately became docile in his hands.

"Every life in this world has the right to live, little fish, hurry home."

Gently stroking the delicate scales of the little fish, Jia Long released it back into the sea. Watching the fish swim happily away, Jia Long smiled with satisfaction.

Today, we released a beautiful little fish back into the wild.

In the future, will I be able to get a charming young secretary instead?

Chapter 41 Reflections! Lightning Fist

Has Galon changed his ways?

Jia Long's act of releasing the animal surprised the other young fighters, especially Milo and Aphrodite, because just last night, this guy was discussing with them how to roast the Pope's golden-haired sheep.

"The greatest respect you can show to ingredients is to give them a magnificent funeral and a grill worthy of them..."

These are Jia Long's original words, which Milo and Aphrodite clearly remember.

How come you've become a completely different person today?

However, not everyone understood Jia Long's true nature. On the distant stern tower, a pair of cold eyes were watching him.

"You can't even bear to hurt the fish?"

I never expected this boy named Galon to be so kind. It seems the thief with spatial combat skills wasn't him after all!

……

Releasing the mermaid was just a minor incident.

In reality, most of the time spent on ocean voyages is spent in boredom.

Since there was really no fun in it, spending his days grinding in the dimensional space became Jia Long's only pastime, and after a while, his strength improved significantly.

The microcosm is growing stronger every day.

Jia Long's current maximum punching speed has reached more than 20 times the speed of sound.

The Galactic Starburst has also been further explored.

The condensed energy celestial body has reached the size of a fist, but compared to the Gemini Gold Saint in the manga, it is still in the Galaxy Clothes Burst stage.

The dimensional space has also grown to more than 20 meters, but unfortunately, due to a lack of understanding of other dimensions, it still cannot be manifested in reality.

Besides his usual training, considering the existence of Yura of the Peacock Constellation, Jia Long couldn't use too many spatial combat techniques. Therefore, he specifically chose a combat technique from the insights of the junior warriors to train.

Aiolia's Lightning Fist!

The Lightning Fist aims for the ultimate punching speed.

If Aiolia were to unleash this power, borrowing the star power of Leo, he could unleash thousands of punches per second, resembling a Leo meteor shower.

However, Jalong is not known for his speed, nor can he borrow the power of Leo. Fortunately, his cosmos is much stronger than Aiolia's, and after training for a while, his performance is quite impressive and intimidating.

At least it looks intimidating enough.

Having mastered his new fighting technique, Jia Long wanted to test its power on someone. However, the sea route was too calm. Not only did he not encounter any sea monsters or anything like that, but he didn't even encounter any pirates.

According to veteran crew members on the oil tanker, this was because the Surrant family protected this route. The Surrant family was a renowned maritime noble family and one of the seven major powers of the seas.

All those who make a living in the South Atlantic regard the Surant family as the representatives of the sea god in this ocean.

It is precisely because of the powerful Surant family that this route to the dangerous Lost Realm is so peaceful.

Two months later.

The oil tanker finally arrived at the distant Lost Land.

By this time, Jia Long had used up all his mirror images to relieve boredom, and the other young fighters were almost going crazy with frustration.

They really didn't understand why they had to waste two whole months at sea, when it was supposed to be an extremely urgent matter.

When someone couldn't help but ask this question.

Albiot's answer left everyone speechless.

"Because the ocean has never been the domain of us Saint Seiya warriors. The rulers of the sea are the Seven Generals of the Emperor, who are legendary beings comparable to the Twelve Zodiac Palaces..."

……

The Lost Realm is said to have been the most prosperous place on earth more than 200 years ago.

However, it is now a veritable land of death on earth.

A vast expanse of haze obscured the sunlight; the haze was as thick as syrup, and it was mixed with all sorts of ghostly figures and weeping sounds.

The ground reeked of rotting corpses. Since disembarking, the young warriors had seen very few living people, and almost all of them looked numb and lost.

It's like a dead world.

"It's all because of the existence of the Star Demon Palace that people here can't go to the underworld after they die, and can only wander in the human world. Over the past 200 years, there are probably more ghosts than people here."

"However, although the Lost Realm is terrifying, it is rich in crude oil and iron star sand, and even more precious Nether Star Sand. Therefore, there are still many people who come here to explore, including many powerful warriors."

Albio gave a brief introduction to the Lost Realm.

Following his gaze, Jia Long and the others looked around the port and indeed saw some mysteriously dressed people, some of whom even had faint traces of their own universes.

As expected, there are still many powerful individuals in this world; they are not all concentrated in the Holy Domain.

Of course, Jia Long and his group were only curious for a moment.

After all, the Holy Domain holds a transcendent status, and the orthodox young warriors don't care about these powerful figures from the outside world.

They came to the Sanctuary with only one purpose: to defeat the Dark Saints.

Anyone who dares to stop them from carrying out justice will be dealt with!

This is the confidence of the Saint Seiya, the guardians of the earth!

Albiot clearly thought so too, so he simply mentioned the other powerful figures and then brought up the topic of the Dark Saints.

"We must never allow the Dark Saints to rule the Lost Realm."
