I held the gold-plated invitation letter and read it again. After confirming that there was no missing information, I returned it to Zilong: "Why, do you really want to go?"

Zilong took it casually and threw it into the drawer: "Didn't the teacher say that private fighting between saints is forbidden? And judging from the description on the invitation letter, the Kido Group seems to want to use the fighting events between saints to Attracting the attention of the whole world and earning huge profits by the way, what is the difference between this and the fighting between gladiators in ancient Rome for the entertainment of the nobles?" He couldn't help frowning, "And to be honest, I really don't want to have anything to do with the Kido family anymore... When I was helpless in the past, the days of being manipulated by them are really not good memories. Now that I have obtained the status of a saint, I hope to make myself Use your strength in more valuable aspects, instead of using it to satisfy the selfish desires of the city households."

I nodded approvingly: "You're right, but I'm afraid you have to go to this farce. Take a look at this." I picked up the promotional poster on the table and opened it, and there was a Sagittarius printed in the center The color high-definition photo of the holy clothes box, "The teacher told you something about the sanctuary before, right? Then you should still remember that 13 years ago, Aiolos, the golden saint of Sagittarius, tried to kidnap Athena and defected to the sanctuary. The other golden saints were sanctioned, but his holy clothes were nowhere to be found. The teacher has confirmed that this is the shape of the Sagittarius holy clothes box, and there is no mistake."

Zilong raised his head in surprise: "So the Saint Cloth of Sagittarius really fell into the hands of Chenghu's family? It was so far away from Greece..."

"Even if this is not the real holy-cloth box, it may be a replica or something else, but how can something like the golden holy-cloth be seen by unrelated people casually? At least one thing can be confirmed, the Chenghu family has indeed seen it Otherwise, it would be impossible to make the same appearance.” I handed the poster to Zilong, and leaned against the door frame thoughtfully, “The old man said that the Sanctuary has never given up on finding this piece of clothing that was lost overseas in the past 13 years. It can be said that every saint is obliged to help track down its whereabouts, but now the Kido family is so fanfare to publicize to the world that the golden saint cloth of Sagittarius is the prize of the Galaxy Tournament, and there must be something wrong with it. Regardless of whether they really own the holy cloth, or just use it as a gimmick, it will attract the attention of the sanctuary."

"And..." I paused, and continued, "To put it bluntly, even if this game goes smoothly to the end, will the Golden Saint Cloth really recognize a bronze saint casually? If the organizer of this game If you really understand Saint Seiya or Saint Cloth, you won’t make such an obvious mistake.”

"If that's the case, it's really worth a trip." Zilong put away the poster and nodded at me, "Then I'm afraid we have to hurry up and set off. What's the number today?"

I smiled and threw my passport and air ticket into Zilong's arms: "Oh, don't you feel relieved about your work? Pack your luggage tonight and leave tomorrow morning."

Early the next morning, after saying goodbye to Chunli and Mr. Tonghu, I changed into casual clothes and took Zilong straight down the mountain.All the processes of turning upside down, turning cars, and flying planes were all ignored. Anyway, except for Zilong's huge holy clothes box, which once aroused the curiosity of the crowd, nothing worth mentioning happened.

However, when I landed in Japan and went through the security check, there was a little episode. I squatted for a long time when I waited for Zilong to go to the consignment window to pick up his holy clothes box. Long Yi helplessly tried to explain to the security inspectors that this was not a contraband, but the security inspector in charge looked at the large and simple box in front of him, and obviously didn't believe his words: "Sir, I'm really sorry, the recent domestic incidents There are many illegal cases of tourists bringing overseas artworks into the country and reselling them. For safety reasons, can you open the box and let our staff check it?"

"This..." Zilong hesitated. The Saint Cloth is the same as the Saint Warrior. By default, it follows the rule of "big hermit in the city". Is it not good to open it openly for ordinary people to see?

I went up and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, open it." Zilong gave me a slightly surprised look, and after being encouraged by my eyes of "It's okay to look at me", he stretched out his hand to grab the pull ring in the mouth of the dragon-shaped relief , pulled it hard, and with a crackling sound, the holy clothes box was divided into several parts and spread out on the table, revealing the holy clothes of Tianlongzuo formed into a pedestal inside.

"WOW!" Several foreign passengers passing by to pick up their checked luggage exclaimed softly, and then quickly started communicating in Italian: "What is this? A simple metal sculpture?" "Why does it seem to be assembled? Are there other combinations?" "I like this color! Is it electroplated or mineral dyed?"

Chirp chirp chirp chirp...

Seeing more and more tourists onlookers, Zilong had no choice but to turn to me for help: "Hey, what should I do now? I told you not to open the box casually, and I heard the holy clothes complaining..."

"Don't worry, look at me." I took off my sunglasses, stared at the security guy with a healthy dark complexion, rolled up his sleeves, and took off the parts of the Dragon Cloth one by one for careful inspection.Sensing my fiery gaze, he quickly raised his head: "Are you two colleagues? I'm sorry, this thing seems to be—"

I immediately interrupted him: "Actually, you are right. This item is indeed made overseas. It is produced in Athens, Greece, and the company is called 'Sanctuary'. Assemblable handicrafts, all production and sales processes about it are legal, if you don’t believe me, you can go to this website to confirm.” I quickly pulled out a sticky note from my pocket and wrote it down and stuffed it into the security guy’s hand , and then used the fastest speed to snatch back the parts of the Draco Cloth that was already trembling with anger, assembled it, and closed the Saint Cloth Box by the way—huh, one step later, it will jump up and beat people by itself!

The security check brother nodded in a daze, "Okay, I see, you two, please go over..." "Ahahaha, thank you very much." I winked at Zilong and told him to quickly carry the holy clothes box , the two of them ran madly against the curious expressions of other tourists.It wasn't until he walked out of the gate of the airport that Zilong whispered: "Brother, in fact, you secretly used the small universe to interfere with the brain of the security inspector just now... Isn't this a bit bad?"

"Then what should I do? Do I have to make a special trip to Greece to ask Athena for a holy cloth production license and assembly instructions to deal with the security check?" I put on my sunglasses again, "And the website I gave him is It’s nonsense, if you can find out all the way to Sanctuary to count him as capable, you don’t need to work at the security checkpoint, and you can change your career to become a Japanese police officer!”

"Cheezy!—" The security checker sneezed suddenly, pinching the note with the URL on his face in a daze, what happened just now?Maybe he was in a trance after working for too long, he thought so, and stuffed the note into his trouser pocket.

Jumping from the inaccessible Wulaofeng to one of the most developed big cities in the world, looking at the continuous flow of vehicles and people coming and going on the road, I was in a trance for a moment-in fact, this is what I was originally The day I should have lived.

But soon I was awakened by the reality. Who will tell me how to take the Shinkansen, which is more complicated than a spider's web? !

At this time, the aborigines should be called for help.Zilong was covered in cold sweat by my stare, and quickly refused: "Brother, don't look at me, I didn't have the money to sit here when I was wandering in Japan, and then I was taken away by the city family and couldn't even get out of the gate, you It would be better to call the police than ask me to lead the way."

I collapsed and squatted on the ground with my head in my arms. After thinking for a few seconds, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration. I stood up and dragged Zilong to the taxi waiting area and waved vigorously: "Taxi!!!"

With a "creak", a black taxi specially for foreign guests stopped in front of us. I said to the driver in English, please drive behind me, and then threw Zilong's holy clothes box and our luggage into the trunk. Finally, he pushed Zilong with a sluggish face into the back seat, showed the invitation letter for the Galaxy Challenge, and explained to the driver: "Excuse me, please take us to this place, we are all invited by the Chenghu family For the contestants who came from overseas to participate in the Galaxy Arena, the Kido family promised to cover all the expenses after we arrived in Japan when they called us, so please use this number to reimburse the taxi fare to the master of the Kido family."

While talking, I pulled out a note from my pocket, scribbled down a number, and gave it to the driver. I didn’t forget to emphasize that this was not an external number, but the private number of the owner of the household. Alright, then I held the steering wheel, turned a corner and drove onto the highway.

Zilong covered his face all the way, and after a while he gritted his teeth and spoke in Greek: "Brother, do you know how expensive taxis in Japan are?! The living expenses we have on this trip plus one piece are not enough to run from the airport to the house of Chenghu." Private villa! What if someone dismantles it and calls the police?!" I reached out and covered his mouth: "Of course I know nonsense, shut up now! In case the driver can understand Greek, we can only Jump out of the car!"

Fortunately, although the driver's language skills are very high, he chatted with us in popular languages ​​such as English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and French along the way, but Greek is a relatively small language after all, so he can say a few words "Hello Goodbye, thank you for your patronage" and other polite words, so I didn't realize that we were planning to use the name of the Kido family as an empty-handed white wolf. When the vehicle drove near the private territory of the Kido family, he stopped, and then He opened the door of the car for us respectfully, and did not forget to make a standard 90° bow before leaving.

Looking at the back of the taxi leaving in the dust, Zilong carried the holy clothes box on his back with a gloomy face: "Brother, this time you wrote a note casually to fool others, right?"

I turned my head guiltily—actually, I couldn’t write it casually, because that number was indeed Kido Mitsumasa’s personal number.Before Aiolos was labeled as a traitor, he was trained as the heir of the Pope, and he often helped Shion deal with various things. A large number of extremely precious confidential information and private numbers, including the Kido Group.Now that Kido Mitsumasa has passed away, I can only pray that his granddaughter and successor, Ms. Kido Saori, is a nostalgic person and didn't change his private number, otherwise it would be a scam...

We dragged our suitcases and walked to the gate of Kido's mansion, and two security guards dutifully stopped us: "Hi, gentlemen, this is a private property, if you don't have a visiting permit, please go back."

I signaled Zilong to take out the invitation letter with my eyes, and one of the security guards took it and checked it carefully, and then glanced at the holy clothes box behind Zilong, suddenly realized, and immediately opened the door: "It turns out that this is the contestant of Tianlong, Please go in, Ms. Kido has already prepared a rest place for you guests who have come from afar—but this gentleman?..." He glanced at me suspiciously, Zilong was about to speak, but I quickly grabbed him He explained before: "I'm not a contestant, I just accompanied him here. Since the person has been delivered, I'll leave first." The security guard immediately dispelled his doubts, moved away, and signaled Zilong to go in.

Zilong looked back at me, I patted him on the shoulder, and turned on the small universe call mode: "You go in first, follow the normal process of the game, play by ear - this Galaxy arena will definitely not end so easily, Be careful of the other contestants who come back to compete, I am afraid that some of them will be sent by the Sanctuary to inquire about the news."

Zilong nodded to dispel his doubts, turned around and walked into the gate of Chenghu's house with his suitcase.

I turned and left in the opposite direction, rubbing my chin and thinking: According to the plot of the manga, the ten Bronze Saints who participated in the competition returned to Japan one after another. Seiya should be the last one to come back, anyway, Zilong is definitely not the last one, which means there is still a little time for me to relax, aha~

Under the guidance of the staff, Zilong handed over his holy clothes box and temporarily stored it in the vault, and then went to the guest room to settle down under the leadership of the maid.After tidying up his luggage and taking a shower, Zilong wiped his hair and lay down on the soft velvet quilt, fiddling with the room card in his hand, suddenly wanted to laugh—who would have imagined their fate of being arbitrarily insulted by domestic slaves in the past? An abandoned child, one day he will become a guest of Cheng Hu's family?

At this time, there was a burst of disputes outside, and Zilong stood up immediately after hearing the words, walked to the window sill and looked down.

The outside is a vast courtyard, and in the center is a fountain pool in the style of an ancient Roman bath. A teenager with green hair in white overalls is sitting sideways on the edge of the pool with his legs together, frowning with displeasure on his face, while the other The brown-haired boy with a dark complexion and a dark purple sports vest stood in front of him with a posture of finding fault: "I never thought that you, a guy who could only cry and cry when you were young, came back alive. Let me put the words here first, Gold I will never give you the holy clothes!"

The young man with green hair just shook his head: "I'm not interested in that, Xie Wu, if you want to provoke me, I'm afraid you've found the wrong person."

Xie Wu hit the cotton with his fist, so he put his hands back into his trouser pockets angrily, muttered something and walked away.The young man with green hair lowered his eyes, then raised his head to look in the direction where Zilong was standing, smiled and waved his hand.

Zilong also raised his hand and waved it, Shun?It's really surprising that he can survive the training of the Saint Seiya and come back. In this way, maybe Ikki...

Meanwhile, Death Queen Island.

Shaka hovered in the air with great interest, looking down at the young man who defeated all the dark saints and snatched the Holy Cloth of the Phoenix. He gasped on the ground, but there was no sign of surrender in his eyes.

"Interesting guy, forcibly suppressing love and justice deep in his heart, so that he can't even see a trace of evil in his pretentiously fierce eyes." Shaka condensed the golden small universe in his palm, and instantly wrapped the opponent's mind , Ikki groaned in pain, and finally couldn't hold it anymore and passed out. "I'll seal your memory for the time being. However, if you appear in front of me as an enemy one day in the future, this memory will be awakened again with deep-seated fear..."

The golden figure disappeared over the Death Queen Island like mist.After a long time, Ikki woke up suddenly and looked around blankly.However, there was nothing in front of him except the hot volcanic rock and the dark saints who were beaten all over the ground by him.

Behind Ikki, a cross engraved with the words "Esmeralda" stood silently on the top of the mountain, with a string of dried flowers hanging on it, shaking slightly by the heat from the crater.

The author has something to say:

I remember that some readers said that they wanted to see the scene of gold quickly, so they dragged King Shaka out for a soy sauce...

PS: There is an easter egg in this chapter that is not a character in the Saint Seiya series, whoever finds it first, I will send him a tweet~
