Becoming a Saint Seiya since the Age of Mythology

Wu Xin was both amused and exasperated, and said, "It's fine with Degel; given his personality, he wouldn't hold it against you, Senior Brother. So let you brag here!"

"But if you were to meet the one above Degel, I don't believe you'd still dare to boast like that!"

"The one above Degel? Pisces Yapafica?"

Manigold paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Although the poisonous blood on his body is a bit troublesome, it still can't withstand the burning of the Ghost Azure Flame!"

"I'm not talking about Pisces Yapfica, but the former Aquarius Gold Saint!"

Wu Xin emphasized the word 'ex' and continued, "That one is someone even our teacher greatly admires! Senior brother, you can ignore Degel, but you absolutely cannot underestimate that one!"

Chapter 50 Advice from the Archer

"My ex was an Aquarius?"

Manigold's expression immediately changed, and his previous arrogance vanished.

The former Aquarius was a legend; even though he is no longer with us, his legend still circulates in the Sanctuary.

It is said that he was able to withstand three Gold Saints with just one psychic avatar, and his ice shield, created using freezing air, was so powerful that even several Gold Saints working together could not break through it, making it an invincible defense.

If it were in front of that person, he really wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

Although Ghost Azure Flame is said to be able to overcome all small universe techniques, the burning speed of Ghost Azure Flame is not entirely determined by himself, but is also affected by the enemy.

The stronger the enemy, the slower the Ghostly Azure Flame burns.

If he were to face a legendary figure like the former Aquarius, perhaps before his Ghostly Flame could burn away all the ice power, he would be frozen by the opponent's freezing aura first.

Seeing this, Wu Xin pressed his advantage, saying, "There are no invincible moves in the world, only invincible people."

"No matter how exquisite the moves are, they are ultimately just inanimate objects that need to be controlled and used by people."

"Only by flexibly using various techniques to deal with battles can we help ourselves defeat all kinds of powerful enemies."

"Therefore, even some seemingly useless moves can have extraordinary effects if used flexibly and appropriately."

Upon hearing this, Manigold fell into deep thought.

Strength is never about techniques, but about the person.

This is also a phrase that his teacher, Sage, often said to him.

He never expected to hear similar words from his junior brother.

The teacher had mentioned it so many times that he was tired of hearing it and hadn't paid any attention to it, even becoming a little impatient. But now that someone else was saying it again, he seemed to finally understand.

After a long silence, he stood up and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to the Aquarius Palace!"

"Senior brother, you agreed?" Wu Xin's eyes lit up immediately.

"I was just teasing you! You actually took it seriously?"

Manigold grinned mischievously and continued, "But even if I promise you, it won't make a difference!"

"If Degel is unwilling to give guidance, there's nothing I can do!"

After saying that, he shrugged helplessly.

All he could do was make an introduction.

"It's alright, that's enough!" Wu Xin nodded happily.

Based on his understanding of Degel, a few pointers shouldn't be a big problem.

Then, led by Manigoldo, the two continued their journey to the higher Aquarius Palace.

They chatted casually along the way, starting a conversation.

Wu Xin casually mentioned, "I chatted with Hasgard a bit earlier, and he said that the Specters have been too active lately, and the security situation in the Sanctuary has become increasingly serious."

"I think His Holiness the Pope should take this seriously and increase vigilance and patrols in the area."

"Why should we take this so seriously? Isn't there already a Gold Saint personally leading the team?" Manigoldo replied casually.

Wu Xin shook his head and said seriously, "The Gold Saints are strong, but they are not invincible."

"Moreover, the current situation is different from usual, and we can no longer deal with it using the usual standards."

"We must further upgrade the defenses and vigilance of the Sanctuary!"

"Oh, could you tell me more about it?"

Just then, a curious voice came from above the steps.

Hearing this sudden addition of voices, Wu Xin and the other person looked up at the same time, only to see Sisyphus, with golden wings on his back, smiling at them from the end of the steps.

They had unknowingly arrived at the Sagittarius Palace.

"Greetings, Lord Sisyphus!" Wu Xin quickly bowed and greeted him.

Sisyphus nodded and asked with a smile, "From what you're saying, it seems you have different opinions about the current way the Sanctuary is protected. Could you tell me more about it?"

Seeing this, Manigoldo immediately interrupted, "What opinions could a Silver Saint who just arrived have? It's just a few casual complaints, don't take it to heart!"

Sisyphus is not only the Gold Saint of Sagittarius, but also the next Pope chosen by his teacher Sage.

It was one thing for Wu Xin to discuss the arrangements of the Holy Domain's higher-ups in front of his senior brother, and he naturally wouldn't mind. But in front of this next Pope, things were a different story.

Seeing right through Cancer's thoughts, Sisyphus smiled and said, "Manigoldo, you don't need to be so nervous!"

"I'm not the kind of stubborn old man who won't listen to honest advice!"

"I'm willing to listen to any reasonable suggestions!"

As he spoke, he looked at Wuxin with a hint of encouragement.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Manigoldo said nothing more and quickened his pace with Wuxin as they crossed the steps and arrived at the flat ground outside the Sagittarius Palace.

At the same time, when he saw the Sagittarius Gold Saint asking him a question, Wuxin's eyes lit up and he was secretly delighted.

Originally, he intended to persuade his senior brother Manigoldo, and then use Manigoldo's route to remind Pope Sage, ultimately achieving his goal.

But this line is not stable because his senior brother doesn't care about such things.

However, it is a pleasant surprise that they have now encountered Sagittarius Sisyphus, who is very interested in this matter.

Especially since the other party is a candidate for the next Pope, if he can be persuaded, his goal of strengthening the protection of the Sanctuary and reducing the sacrifice of Saints will be easier to achieve.

He gathered his thoughts and said seriously, "Lord Sisyphus, the Holy War is about to break out, and the situation facing the Sanctuary is very different from usual."

“In the past, even when evil people occasionally caused trouble, they were mostly low-class individuals.”

"Even if some powerful evil beings appear, they can almost always be dealt with by sending out Gold Saints."

"But things are different now. The 108 Demon Stars have awakened along with Hades, and a considerable number of them are extremely powerful, even surpassing ordinary Gold Saints."

"Besides that, you should also have heard that some time ago, my senior brother and I also encountered a very terrifying guy in Tehran who called himself the 'Blasphemer'."

"If the other party hadn't retreated on their own initiative, my senior brother and I might have died there that time."

"At this special time, more and more powerful enemies are emerging, and even the Gold Saints themselves are in great danger and can no longer suppress everything as before."

"Therefore, I propose that the Gold Saints patrol and guard in pairs."

"In this way, the Sanctuary's defensive capabilities can be greatly enhanced, and the Gold Saints can also look out for each other, minimizing unnecessary damage!"

The current Sanctuary is still too arrogant, underestimating the harshness of the environment and overly believing in the power of the Gold Saints, which has caused the Gold Saints to bear a burden beyond their capacity.

However, if they were to team up in pairs and look out for each other, the situation would be much better.

As Wuxin knew, the death of Pisces Yapafica could have been completely avoided.

Chapter 51 Paying Homage to Aquarius

After listening to Wu Xin's explanation, Sisyphus nodded and said solemnly, "Well said. I will personally convey your proposal to His Holiness the Pope!"

"It seems that Lord Bai Li has taken on a very remarkable disciple!"

After saying that, he gave Wuxin a very appreciative look.

"Thank you for your praise, sir!" Wuxin bowed his head in gratitude.

Afterwards, the three exchanged pleasantries for a while before parting ways.

After passing through Sagittarius and Capricorn, Wuxin and his companion finally arrived at Aquarius.

“I’m only responsible for introducing you. As for whether that guy Degel is willing to give you guidance, I don’t know!” Manigold emphasized again.

"Yes, I understand. I'll leave everything to you, Senior Brother!" Wu Xin nodded, indicating his understanding.

In the present Sanctuary, apart from Degel, only the previous Great Lord Beck can use the power of ice.

Given his relationship with Baker, there was no way the latter would give him any pointers, and he couldn't bring himself to ask Baker for help.

If Degel is also unwilling to help, then he can only consider figuring it out on his own.

He was prepared to face failure.

"let's go!"

With a greeting, Manigoldo led the way, striding into the Aquarius Palace.

Before long, they found Aquarius Degel in a study in a side room of the Aquarius Palace.

He was a very refined-looking man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, sitting quietly by the window reading a book, looking just like a noble young master.

"What brings you here, Manigoldo?" Recognizing the person's presence, Degel asked without turning his head.

"Um... um..."

Manigold scratched his head, slightly embarrassed, and said, "My junior brother, Wuxin, obtained the Giant Saint Cloth."

"Right now, he is trying to understand the mark left in the Giant Saint Cloth, hoping to learn how to master the power of ice, but he hasn't gotten the hang of it yet, so... so..."

He couldn't continue speaking at this point.

He really wasn't used to asking for favors.

Upon hearing this, Degel put down his book, turned around, and looked at Wuxin, who was standing next to Manigoldo.

"Greetings, Lord Degel!"

Wu Xin quickly greeted him and then said, "I would like to seek your guidance, sir, to try and comprehend the power of ice!"
