Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

"To be on the safe side, I think I should add another layer of protection!" Wu Xin thought for a moment, then mobilized the power of his inner universe, transforming it into a chilling aura that swirled around him.

High temperatures can effectively kill germs, while low temperatures can also reduce the activity of germs, thus reducing the likelihood of infection.

He then bypassed the village and continued his search into the island.

After passing through five abandoned villages, he came to a relatively large small town.

The village population was already small, and after the ravages of the epidemic, many died or fled, leaving it nearly deserted and rarely seeing any living people. But small towns were different.

Despite the large population base, a small portion of the population still managed to survive the devastating epidemic.

With the intention of gathering information, Wu Xin cautiously stepped inside and found a small tavern that was still open.

These taverns are places where people mingle and where information is most readily available.

Unfortunately, due to the rampant epidemic, there were hardly any people on the streets, and the tavern was also very deserted, with only a few people sitting inside quietly drinking, completely lacking the lively scene that a tavern should have.

Wu Xin didn't stand on ceremony and went straight to the bar to order the most expensive drink. Then, he started chatting with the bar owner, seemingly casually.

Perhaps because he hadn't seen a stranger in a long time, or perhaps because the wine Wu Xin ordered was expensive, the owner was very happy and answered whatever questions he asked.

Seeing this, Wuxin pressed on, asking curiously, "With the epidemic raging, hasn't anyone thought of inviting some skilled doctors to help?"

"Why not?"

The tavern owner immediately became agitated and said, "We've invited many famous doctors from outside, but none of them can cure the plague here!"

"Not a single one?" Wu Xin was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Odysseus of Ophiuchus returned to save the people from the plague.

But so far there has been no news of the disease being treated here, so there are only two possibilities.

One possibility is that Odysseus has arrived, but has yet to find a cure.

While it may seem unbelievable that such a thing could happen to Odysseus, who was a highly skilled physician, it is not entirely impossible.

After all, no matter how skilled Odysseus was in medicine, he was just a mortal healer, not a god of medicine.

Another possibility is more complicated.

That means something happened to Odysseus, so he hasn't had time to deal with the epidemic here yet.

"I hope it's not the second scenario!" Wu Xin silently began to pray.

"Indeed, there are none!"

The tavern owner sighed heavily and said helplessly, "Because of the plague here, nearly half of the people on the island have died."

"To prevent the spread of the disease, the entire island of Elba is under lockdown. If it weren't for that, I would have wanted to escape from here!"

At this point, the boss seemed to realize something and looked at Wuxin with surprise, saying, "Our place is ravaged by disease and has become a veritable disaster zone. Is there something important that you have come to the island, esteemed guest?"

"Yes, I'm here to see a friend!"

Wu Xin nodded and then asked, "He lives in Qing Teng Town. Could you tell me how to get there?"

To avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he did not mention Odysseus's name.

As a Saint born on Elba Island, Odysseus must be quite famous here, especially since the other party is also a doctor who saves lives.

Chapter 358 Green Vine Town

"Green Vine Town? That's quite far from here!"

The tavern owner gave Wuxin a deep look and said, "Even if our esteemed guest departs now, he will probably not arrive until the night after tomorrow!"

"More importantly, that's the epicenter of the epidemic. I advise you not to go!"

"As for your friend, he may have already died from the disease, who knows!"

"It's alright, it's alright!"

Wu Xin waved his hand and urged, "You just need to tell me how to get there!"

Helpless, the shopkeeper could only reply, "Once you leave our town, keep heading north until you reach a small town near the sea. That's Green Vine Town!"

"Thank you!"

Wu Xin nodded, then emptied his glass, paid, and left.

Of course, in this epidemic area, he did not dare to drink the wine here rashly, but quickly poured out the wine in the glass at a speed that ordinary people could not see.

After saying goodbye to the tavern owner, Wuxin left the town and headed north.

What would take an ordinary person two nights to reach is nothing to him, a Gold Saint.

If he weren't unfamiliar with the environment and routes, he could reach his destination in the blink of an eye.

After spending nearly half an hour, Wuxin finally found the Green Vine Town that the tavern owner had mentioned.

There were hardly any living people left in the town, and the streets were desolate, with a strong aura of death pervading the place.

Wu Xin couldn't imagine how many people had died here.

After using his senses to search and confirm a house where people were still alive, he immediately went there.

There were two people in the house: an elderly man with gray hair and a child of about seven or eight years old, who looked like a grandfather and grandson.

"Outsider? You shouldn't be here at such a special time!" The old man was somewhat surprised to see Wuxin come to his door, and then solemnly issued a warning.

"I know it's dangerous here, but I have a reason to come!"

Wu Xin shrugged and said, "I'd like to find someone in town. Could you please give me some pointers?"

"Stop looking, let's get out of here!"

The old man waved his hand and sighed, "Almost everyone in town has died from the plague. The person you're looking for is most likely gone too!"

"Don't waste your time here, young man, get out of here!"

"Thank you for your kind reminder, old man, but I must find him!" Wu Xin reiterated his stance.

Seeing this, the old man stopped trying to persuade him and asked helplessly, "Who are you looking for?"

"The person I'm looking for, the old man should have heard of him. He went through the brutal Saint Seiya training and became a glorious Silver Saint! His name is 'Odysseus'!" Wuxin explained his purpose.

"So, that's the kid you're looking for!"

The old man sighed deeply and said, "He is the pride of all Elba Islanders! He is also skilled in medicine and has saved many lives!"

"We also sent messengers to the Holy Land to try and summon him back to solve the plague, but we haven't heard from him yet!"

"Old man, are you sure Odysseus hasn't returned?" Wuxin asked again to confirm.

He definitely didn't come back!

The old man shook his head and sighed, "Perhaps he ran into some trouble, which is why he hasn't come back!"

"Unfortunately, the epidemic has raged on for so long that even if he were to return, it would be too late!"

"Eighty percent of the people in the entire town died, and not a single one of his relatives and friends survived!"

"I wonder what his reaction will be when he comes back and sees this scene!"

Wu Xin fell silent immediately.

He couldn't imagine how painful it would be for Odysseus to learn all this, given that as a physician with superb medical skills, he was unable to save his loved ones.

After a long while, Wuxin finally spoke, "Please give me your guidance, sir. I would like to visit the residence of Odysseus!"

“I gave some things to Odysseus and left them in his house.”

"Since he hasn't come back, and everyone in my family has died from the disease, I have no choice but to go find him myself!"

He had not learned of any news about Odysseus, but he still wanted to go to Odysseus's hometown.

Perhaps, the other party has secretly returned; who knows?

After all, Odysseus was also a Silver Saint.

Although he didn't think much of the Silver Saints, they were extraordinary figures in the eyes of these ordinary people.

If Odysseus intentionally avoided them, they would not have been able to find any trace of him.

"Ugh--"

The old man wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Wuxin's firm attitude, he had no choice but to say, "Go out the door and walk about two hundred meters to the right."

"When you see a house marked with the caduceus, that's Odysseus's house!"

"Thank you for your guidance!"

After expressing his sincere gratitude, Wuxin immediately turned and left.

Before long, he found the house with the serpent staff mark.

The mark was almost identical to the mark outside the Sanctuary Medical Center.

"Is this a mark unique to Odysseus? Or is it the mark of their group of healers?" Wuxin couldn't help but ponder.

But soon, Wuxin put his thoughts aside, because now was not the time to think about this.

He then pushed open the door and went inside.

The room was in a mess, with tables and chairs lying scattered on the floor and countless broken pieces of dishes strewn about.

It appears that the place was ransacked after the entire family passed away.

Wu Xin was not too surprised by this.

Greed is human nature.

With Odysseus's entire family dead, his property became ownerless to the other survivors, naturally attracting the covetous eyes of others.

As for Odysseus, while the title of Silver Saint was certainly intimidating, he was not present, especially not when his family members died. Therefore, he had little deterrent effect on those greedy individuals.

As long as you don't touch those iconic items, even the Saint Seiya warriors won't be able to reclaim the possessions that once belonged to them.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Wu Xin shook his head and sighed, "Finding clues is too troublesome, and it's not my forte!"

"Let's ask a dead person for more details!"

"May Odysseus's deceased family members still exist among the mortals!"

As he spoke, he raised his right index finger high above his head.
