Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

The old butler sighed again, saying regretfully, "Several years ago, not long after the old lord Calusia passed away, Miss Serafina also passed away from a cold!"

"A cold? Death?"

Degel found it utterly unbelievable.

A cold is not a serious illness. Even ordinary people can recover by relying on their own physical constitution if they tough it out for a few days without medication.

Moreover, Serafina comes from a lord's family, so even in the barren Brugler, she would not lack medical resources.

It sounds utterly absurd that Serafina would die from a minor cold under such circumstances.

The old butler gave a wry smile and continued to explain, "I know you probably don't believe this result, sir, but it's the truth!"

“Miss Serafina is frail, as you know.”

"Ok!"

Degel nodded.

In his memory, Serafina's face never had a normal color; it was always sickly pale, and she would fall ill from time to time. Her physical condition was far below that of an ordinary person.

The old butler continued, "Miss Serafina has been frail since childhood, and the environment here in Brugeler is also very harsh, making it unsuitable for recuperation."

"The minor cold was not treated in time, but instead worsened over time, and Miss Serafina passed away."

"And since then, we have never seen a smile on Lord Unity's face again."

"He seemed like a different person. He locked himself in his study all day and even started studying the so-called resurrection witchcraft of those charlatans."

"Unity is researching resurrection magic?" Degel was quite surprised to hear this.

"It's all just a trick by those swindlers, sir, there's no need to be alarmed!" the old steward quickly reassured him.

He almost forgot that the person in front of him was a Saint from the Sanctuary, specializing in dealing with evil sorcerers and witchcraft.

Chapter 379 In-depth Investigation

"is it?"

Degel glanced at the old butler, a growing sense of worry creeping into his heart.

The resurrection techniques those swindlers talked about were obviously fake, but that wasn't what Degel was worried about.

Because anything involving resurrection usually means stepping into forbidden territory.

Even gods wouldn't try that lightly.

Therefore, when a person begins to study the art of resurrection, it means that he is venturing into taboos and is easily led astray.

Degel immediately changed the subject, tentatively asking, "I wonder when Unity will be back. May I go to his study to see him?"

His intuition told him that Serafina's unusual behavior was likely related to Unity, and he needed to investigate further.

"This……"

The old butler hesitated.

He was, after all, just a butler, not the master of this place. It was really inappropriate to allow an outsider to enter his master's private study.

"Don't worry, I just want to look up some information, I won't touch his things!"

Degel reassured him, then added, "Besides, given our relationship, he shouldn't refuse me entry into his study!"

"More importantly, if I'm determined to go in, you can't stop me!"

The old steward thought for a moment and tentatively said, "In that case, I won't stop you, sir!"

"However, if Lord Unity asks about this later, I will have no choice but to tell the truth!"

"no problem!"

Degel nodded.

Then, led by the old butler, Degel arrived at the study on the second floor of the castle.

Glancing at the mess on the ground, Degel tentatively asked, "Are the materials on Unity's research into resurrection and such also here?"

"Yes, yes, it's all here!"

The old steward nodded and said seriously, "However, this place is very messy, and Lord Unity never lets us tidy it up. It will probably be very difficult for you to find what you are looking for!"

"It's alright, it just takes a little more time and effort!" Degel said, adjusting his glasses.

"In that case, I won't disturb you any longer!" The old butler then bid farewell and withdrew.

Whatever Degel wanted to find in his lord's study, he didn't want to know, much less get involved.

Perhaps his lord wouldn't do anything to Degel, but he certainly wouldn't let this servant off easily.

After watching the old butler leave, Degel immediately began searching through Unity's study.

His search focused on Unity's information and materials regarding the art of resurrection.

Although the entire study had been left in a mess by Uniti, it wasn't too difficult for Degel to tidy it up and find what he wanted, thanks to his powerful Gold-level mental strength.

"This isn't it!"

"That's not it either!"

"This is just a myth!"

……

As they searched deeper, Degel sensed in this pile of junk that Unitiel felt an urgent desire to resurrect his sister Serafina.

Unfortunately, most of what Unity obtained was fake, which led to increasing disappointment. As a result, Unity vented his anger on these things, destroying, tearing them apart, and throwing them all over the ground.

This is also the reason why the study is so messy.

However, after searching for a long time, a tattered old book came into Degel's view.

It's less of an ancient book and more of a scroll made of animal skin.

An ancient scroll made of animal hide, covered with writing, was carefully kept by Uniti in a wooden box.

After seeing many materials destroyed by Unitis, this was the only one that Degel found intact.

"It seems he values ​​this thing very much!" Degel examined the animal skin scroll with curiosity.

Unfortunately, this ancient scroll has been passed down for an unknown period of time, and many tears and blemishes have appeared on it, with some characters becoming blurred and illegible.

However, after careful reading, Degel was able to roughly understand the meaning of the above.

That was a document about the reason for the sealing of Poseidon's soul and related records.

“Everything is connected!” Degel couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Upon seeing this ancient scroll, he had already deduced the changes that had occurred to Serafina.

Serafina died of illness, and her brother Uniti, who had always admired his sister, was unwilling to accept her death and frantically searched everywhere for a way to resurrect her.

In the end, he found the ancient scroll and learned of the existence of the Sea Emperor.

Although we don't know exactly what actions Unitis took, one thing is certain.

Unity pinned her hopes on Poseidon, the sea god, attempting to use his power to revive her sister.

Thus, Serafina made contact with the Sea Emperor.

"Next, we'll head to Atlantis to check on the Sea Emperor's seal!" Degel put away the ancient scroll and strode out of the study.

Atlantis, the underwater city in mythology, was also the palace of the Sea God.

As far as he knew, after the last holy war with the sea realm ended, the goddess Athena sealed the soul of the sea god in Atlantis.

If he wasn't mistaken, Unity should be in that legendary underwater city at this time.

No wonder the old butler and the others rarely see Unity.

Avoiding the crowd in the castle, Degel quietly made his way to the castle's underground library.

It was an extremely large library, with a height difference of ten meters from floor to ceiling, and the bookshelves on both sides of the walls were filled with all kinds of books.

Looking around, it was a complete wall of books.

A rough estimate suggests that there are nearly a million books here.

However, Degel came here not to read books, but to travel to Atlantis.

According to the records of the Sanctuary, a dimensional portal leading to Atlantis is hidden beneath the lord's castle of Brugler.

The hidden passage is located within this underground library.

After using his mental perception to investigate, Degel confirmed the hidden location of the passage and found the hidden mechanism to open the bookshelf.

Rumble!

As the mechanism was activated, the heavy bookshelf slowly moved aside with a dull thud.

Fortunately, this place is underground, and Degel has sealed the entrance to the underground library, making it difficult for sounds to escape. Otherwise, the people in the castle would have already followed the sound and come here.

As the bookshelf was moved, a huge arched stone door appeared on the wall behind it, and on the stone door were countless talismans bearing the name of the goddess Athena.

That is the dimensional portal to Atlantis, sealed by the divine rune.

However, the divine talisman has been preserved for nearly two hundred years, and its divine power has been almost completely exhausted, turning it into an ordinary talisman paper.

"It seems that after things are resolved here, we will need to ask Lord Sasha for permission to reinforce the seal here!" Degel sighed softly.

Chapter 380 The Sea Emperor Disappears

Degel stepped forward and channeled his cosmic power into the stone archway.

In an instant, a series of intense fluctuations emanated from the stone archway, even blowing away the divine talismans pasted on it.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by a flash of golden light, Degelton felt his feet lighten and then land on solid ground again.

Looking up and around again, he realized he had left the library filled with books and entered a blue underwater world.

He has arrived at the legendary underwater city of Atlantis.

Although it is an underwater city, there is not a drop of water around it. Instead, it floats overhead like the sky, filtering the sunlight and turning the entire underwater area into a deep blue.

"The water barrier is truly amazing!" Degel exclaimed in admiration.
