Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

The black light dispersed, and a man wearing a black cloak appeared before everyone.

"Lord Ed, you've finally arrived! I've prepared a bottle of century-old wine for you, please enjoy it!" A sycophant immediately rushed forward to greet him.

Others were not to be outdone, and they all offered their gold, silver, jewelry, or other treasures.

The visitor, however, was exceptionally greedy, taking everything without exception.

"This guy is really greedy!" Wu Xin, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but exclaim.

Not only him, but everyone present felt helpless at the greed of the person in front of them.

Fortunately, this wasn't the first time they'd offered tribute, and they were already used to Ed's greed.

However, Ed has been receiving gifts one after another, but he hasn't actually done anything substantial. The promise to introduce them to the company is still nowhere to be heard.

Clearly, they were being treated like pigs and sheep to be slaughtered at will.

Some astute individuals noticed the discrepancy and were already considering retreating, but fearing retaliation later, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue making offerings.

However, in order to minimize their losses, they reduced the value of the tributes and no longer blindly offered everything as they had at the beginning.

However, they clearly miscalculated today.

After accepting everyone's offerings, Ed coughed twice and said seriously, "These past few days, I have also witnessed everyone's sincerity in wanting to join the organization."

"so……"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was overjoyed.

However, just when they thought they had finally made it through, Ed continued, "So, I've decided that at the next gathering, I'll select the most sincere one among you and recommend him to the higher-ups."

"As for whether you can catch the eye of the higher-ups, I have no idea!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's joy froze on their faces.

They underestimated Ed's greed.

I thought they would all have a chance, but it turns out this guy only chose one, and even deliberately emphasized the one who was the most sincere.

Clearly, this is forcing them to pull out all the stops to compete for this one and only referral spot.

Although everyone was angry, there was nothing they could do.

After quickly composing themselves, one of the sycophants immediately stepped forward and replied, "Don't worry, Lord Ed, we will definitely show our sincerity next time!"

He emphasized the word "sincerity".

When others saw this, even though they were unwilling, they all expressed their support.

After giving his instructions, Ed offered some pointless encouragement before leaving satisfied with what he had learned.

As for everyone present, they all began to worry about the next introduction.

Wu Xin did not follow the bearded man and the red-haired man away. Instead, he used his invisibility to follow behind Ed.

Ed possesses the power of the Cosmo, making it impossible for the Bearded Man and others to track him. But if it were him, it would be a different story.

Perhaps to avoid being followed, Ed was very careful when he left, using his speed to quickly move through every corner of the town, and even changed his clothes several times.

Unfortunately, this time it was Wuxin who was following him.

The two sides are worlds apart in strength, and no matter how much Ed tries to disguise or conceal himself, it will be to no avail.

After watching Ed hide the looted offerings, Wu Xin followed him out of the town and headed north, deep into the desolate mountains of Iceland.

They traveled at breakneck speed for an unknown amount of time until there was no sign of human habitation in the surroundings, at which point Ed finally stopped beneath an iceberg.

He arrived at the foot of an ice wall, placed one hand on it, and infused it with his cosmic power. The huge ice wall then automatically cracked open, revealing a passage nearly two meters high.

"These guys are pretty good at hiding!" Wu Xin exclaimed in admiration.

No wonder Sagittarius and his team hadn't found any clues after searching for so long; they were hiding in the wilderness.

There wasn't a soul in sight; it would be a miracle if they found any useful clues.

Chapter 187 The Hidden Person

After scanning left and right to make sure it was safe, Ed entered the passage that had opened up in the ice wall.

Without hesitation, Wu Xin followed him inside.

After walking along the passage for about five minutes, he followed Ed into a huge cave in the mountain.

There are obvious signs of excavation around the cave, indicating that it was created by humans.

However, Wu Xin's attention was no longer on the cave, but on the other people inside.

Besides Ed, who had just arrived, there were five other people here, each emanating a faint aura of their own cosmos, roughly equivalent to Ed's.

Wu Xin immediately determined that this should be the temporary stronghold of this group of mysterious warriors.

He didn't rush to make a move, but remained hidden in the shadows, wanting to gather more information.

Noticing Ed's arrival, a young man immediately mocked, "Hey, you didn't go and loot those mortals' belongings again, did you?"

"We've already mastered the microcosm and entered the realm of the extraordinary, so why are you still clinging to those useless things?"

“That’s right, they really have no ambition at all!” another woman agreed.

Ed didn't take it seriously and retorted sarcastically, "Lord Bass never said we couldn't do this!"

Another older middle-aged man spoke up, "Lord Bass certainly didn't say that, but frequent contact with ordinary people could easily expose our whereabouts."

"If you fail to complete the mission assigned to you, you should know what the consequences will be!"

Upon hearing this, Ed, who had originally intended to retort, swallowed back the words he was about to say.

After a moment of silence, he changed the subject, saying, "Another week has passed. I wonder if anyone has made any new progress?"

"If we haven't found that item by the time the mission deadline arrives, we won't be able to report back to our superiors!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xin, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately perked up, thinking to himself, "What are they looking for? It seems to be quite important!"

The older middle-aged man sighed and said helplessly, "I haven't found anything here, and I've wasted another week!"

"Me too!"

The others echoed this sentiment, their expressions turning quite grim.

Just then, another person walked in, emanating an aura far surpassing that of the others present.

"Rare indeed, there's actually a guy at the Silver level!" Wu Xin immediately judged the other party's strength level.

"Greetings, Lord Bass!"

Ed and the others quickly bowed and greeted him.

Clearly, the person in front of them was their leader.

Having overheard their conversation, Bass's expression turned extremely grim.

"You bunch of useless trash, you've wasted another whole week and still haven't gotten anything!" Bass angrily berated the group.

"Please calm down, sir! Give us some more time, and we will definitely find the 'Frosty Soul Ice Crystal'!" the middle-aged man pleaded hastily.

"So, what they're looking for is called 'Frosty Soul Ice Crystal'?" Wu Xin suddenly realized.

However, this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing, and he had no idea why they were looking for the Frost Soul Ice Crystal.

"Useless is useless! Even if you had twice the time, you still probably wouldn't find a single clue!"

Bass cursed angrily, then said, "It's a good thing I didn't rely entirely on you guys, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to explain this to my superiors!"

Upon hearing this, Ed seemed to realize something and quickly asked, "From what you're saying, sir, you've already found a clue to the 'Frosty Soul Ice Crystal'?"

"Of course!"

Bass, with an air of pride, said disdainfully, "If it were just a bunch of good-for-nothings like you, you probably wouldn't find the 'Frost Soul Ice Crystal' in your entire lives!"

"Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir!"

Ed quickly offered his congratulations, adding, "With your clues, sir, finding the 'Frosty Soul Ice Crystal' will be much easier!"

"We can finally give our superiors an explanation!"

"It's not that easy!"

Bass waved his hand and said with a serious expression, "We have already wasted a lot of time this time, and now we are about to reach the mission deadline."

"Perhaps we won't be able to find the 'Frosty Ice Crystal' and bring it back in time."

"Just in case, I need you to do something else."

As he spoke, he stared down at Ed.

"Please give your orders, sir!" Ed lowered his head.

Although he knew it wouldn't be a good job, the leader had already made the decision, so there was no room for him to object.

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to do anything particularly difficult. In fact, it might be easier for you than finding the 'Frost Soul Ice Crystal'!" Seeing his subordinate's low spirits, Bass immediately comforted him.

"Sir, what exactly do you want me to do?" Ed asked with a glimmer of hope.

"Don't you often trick ordinary people into collecting money and valuables?"

Bass gave him a deep look and said, "The task I need you to do this time is to go down below and find a few pretty girls, and bring them back with 'Frosty Ice Crystal'."

"Our superior is particularly fond of this kind of thing, especially pure women like priestesses and nuns!"

"If we can bring a few more back, even if we exceed the time limit to complete the mission, that lord shouldn't punish us too severely!"

"I see!"

Ed and the others present nodded in agreement.

However, Wu Xin, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but think of the priestess who was tortured and killed in Tehran when she heard this.

"Could these guys be subordinates of the Blasphemers?" He secretly had a guess.

“But… priestesses and nuns are servants of various gods. If we attack them directly, I’m afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, right?” Ed said with some difficulty.

Bass looked at him coldly and said, "I don't want to hear these boring excuses!"

"I just want to see the results!"

"As for how to deal with the aftermath, that's your business!"
