561, Zhang Fan was absent from the competition

"What about Zhang Fan?"

This sentence sounded in everyone's hearts almost at the same time.

This, of course, also includes Seiya and the Magic Bell.

The two kept scanning the surroundings, hoping to find Zhang Fan's figure, but they were disappointed, and after carefully looking at everyone, they were sure that Zhang Fan was indeed not here.

"Seiya, isn't Zhang Fan still with you in the morning? Where is he? ”

The brow under the mask of the magic bell furrowed, and he asked in a deep voice.

"I, I don't know, we were together when we went out in the morning, but he said he had something to do, let me go first, and he would come before we came. I think he's strong and fast, so he should be fine, so I didn't think much about it, who knows......"

"In which direction is he going?"

"No, I didn't pay attention......"

“……”

The brief conversation between the two made both of them feel bad.

Shaking his head fiercely, the magic bell shook off the worry in his heart.

"Okay, don't think about it so much, there is still some time before the battle for the holy clothes starts, I believe he can rush back before the start of the battle, and he will definitely be able to ......"

"Well, it must ......"

Although the two of them said this, the bad premonition in their hearts could not be dispelled in any way.

Then, there was the long wait.

When the fiery Tomorrow in the sky moved overhead, the Pope finally appeared in the field.

And when they saw the Pope appear, the magic bell and Seiya sighed at the same time, and their bad premonition still appeared in front of them.

The Pope stood on a high place, glanced at the meal, saw the combination of Sharna and Casios, nodded in satisfaction, and then looked to the other side, when he saw the magic bell and Seiya, the head that was about to be tapped stopped.

"Aquila Silver Saint Seiya ......"

"In!"

Hearing the Pope calling himself, the magic bell hurriedly stepped forward and responded.

"What about your apprentice Zhang Fan? If I'm not mistaken, he should have been your apprentice until yesterday, and he was also qualified to compete for the Holy Clothes, but what about the others? Why not here? ”

The Pope's voice was low and majestic, although the tone was light, but the pressure on the magic bell was incomparably great.

Sweat trickled down the edge of the mask, and she fell to one knee, her body trembling slightly.

"Yes, I'm sorry Your Excellency, although Zhang Fan is my apprentice, we don't live together, and when I went to look for them earlier today, he was gone, so I ...... too"

"Seiya?"

The Pope didn't wait for the magic bell to finish speaking, and looked directly at Seiya.

"Huh? Yes! In, I'm here! ”

Seiya didn't expect the Pope to ask him directly, and he was stunned for a moment, but fortunately he quickly came back to his senses and replied in a loud voice.

"Tell me, what about Zhang Fanren?"

"This ...... I, I didn't know, he said at the time that he had something to leave, said he would come back soon, I thought it should be okay so I didn't ask more, I didn't expect ......"

"In other words, is Zhang Fan ready to give up this battle for the Holy Clothes?"

The Pope also didn't wait for Seiya to finish speaking, he had already obtained the information he wanted to know, and when they finished speaking, it was completely unnecessary, and he took care of himself to define Zhang Fan's behavior.

"Please wait a minute, Your Excellency the Pope, Zhang Fan may have been delayed for other reasons, maybe he is on his way back at this time, please give me a little more time, I will go to him, and I will ...... him as quickly as possible."

"Presumptuous !!"

Just as the magic bell was pleading, the official standing behind the pope scolded loudly, and immediately blocked the words behind the magic bell.

"Aquila Silver Saint Seiya Magic Bell, what do you think the battle for the Holy Clothes is, a child's joke? The Saint Seiya is the warrior of the goddess Athena, and the Holy Clothes are the necessary weapons of the Saint Seiya, and the selection and birth of every Saint Seiya are sacred. That Zhang Fan actually delayed such a sacred thing for other things, did he take the honor of the Holy Clothes and the Saint Seiya in his eyes? Did you put the goddess Athena in your eyes? If such a guy is not directly executed, it is already lenient, you still have to intercede for him, and even hope that such a sacred thing will be delayed for the sake of him alone, is there still the glory of the saint seiya in your heart, and is there still the goddess Athena in your heart??? ”

This official's words were quite sharp, and in an instant, he buttoned several big hats to the magic bell and Zhang Fan, and these big hats were pressed down, so that the magic bell could not make any response for a while.

"You're still a Silver Saint Seiya, and you actually have such an indifferent attitude towards such a sacred thing, what do you want to do? Do you want to ......"

"That's it!"

When the official was about to continue, the Pope suddenly spoke.

"Yes."

The official paused, bowed to the pope, stepped back slightly, and remained silent.

After the official had stepped back and stopped talking, the Pope looked back at the Magic Bell.

"Aquila Silver Saint Seiya Magic Bell, Pegasus Bronze Saint Seiya Candidate Seiya, your idea of thinking about your companions is very good, which proves that you are a person who values your companions. But the selection of the Saint Seiya is a matter related to the majesty of the goddess, and it is the most sacred thing for all those who live on this land. Zhang Fan didn't show up for any reason, I don't want to ask too much, but his behavior is undoubtedly a snub to the saint warrior and the goddess. For the sake of his former Saint Seiya candidate and his outstanding talent, I can spare him from dying. But this time in the battle for the Holy Clothes, his qualification must be cancelled, and no objections are allowed, this is an order, do you understand? ”

The Pope's voice was as flat and deep as ever, but his words were full of unmistakable majesty.

The magic bell kneeling on the ground trembled when he heard this, and his head hung deeply.

"I, I get ......"

"Huh?"

Seiya listened to the magic bell's words, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

"Master, master, what are you talking about, how can you cancel Zhang Fan's qualification, how can this ......?"

"Shut up!"

The magic bell suddenly got up and grabbed Seiya by the collar and pulled him in front of him.

"Division...... Master ......"

"Don't you see the current situation? Zhang Fan's behavior is a disguised desecration of the majesty of the goddess, if Zhang Fan's qualification is not revoked, then there is only a dead end waiting for him. No matter how powerful he is, can he be the opponent of so many Silver Saint Seiyas? Can he be the opponent of those twelve Golden Saint Seiyas? Think about it, for Zhang Fan, is it more important to compete for qualifications, or is his life more important!! ”

The magic bell lowered her voice and shouted in Seiya's ear.

Seiya listened to the Magic Bell in a daze, his brows furrowed more and more, and after the Magic Bell finished speaking and released his collar, he knelt down on one knee in front of the Pope helplessly.

"I ...... too Got it......"

"Very well, since that is the case, then I declare that the battle for the Pegasus Bronze Sacred Clothes will now begin to !!"

The Pope stood on the highest point, raised the scepter in his hand and said loudly.

And everyone around will be witnesses to this moment.

But, Zhang Fan, where did he go?

……

"My lord, is it really okay not to go?"

Just above the 10,000-meter-high level of the competition site, Zhang Fan and Ulquiorla stood in the wind, quietly watching the competition that had begun below.

Witnessing the nervous appearance of the magic bell and Seiya just now, Ulquiora turned his head to look at Zhang Fan and asked softly.

"It's okay."

Zhang Fan put his hands in his pockets, looked down at the battle below, and said with a smile.

"I understand their expectations, it's just that a holy garment like Pegasus is too weak, the strength, the extensibility, the integration of the small universe, including its own promotion of the Saint Seiya, are too small and too small, such a holy garment, even if I snatch it, it can't stand my small universe when I wear it. I don't need to destroy such a treasure for the sake of face, so I can only give up on my own initiative. And it's nothing, just a bronze holy clothes, there are better options, who will look at it! ”

"Then, if they expect it like this, but you ignore it, will it ......?"

"This is even more fine, as long as we explain it clearly in the future, now we just need to quietly watch the battle better. You also take a look at it, by the way, record it, the fighting methods and methods of the Saint Seiya are unique, and I believe that it will also have a certain effect on the improvement of the ten blades of your wait, don't waste such an opportunity. ”

"Yes, my lord, I see!"

Ulquiorra nodded, looking down intently.

Zhang Fan also cast his gaze over, watching the battle between Seiya and Casio with a slight smile.

……

In the middle of the field, when the Pope raised his arms and shouted, the people around him erupted in violent cheers, and Seiya looked at the box that suddenly appeared next to the Pope, and a trace of eagerness flashed in his eyes.

"This, is this the sacred garment of Pegasus? I can ...... too."

Boom!

At this moment, a big hand suddenly swept from the side, and Seiya, who was caught off guard, was swept out by this slap.

Before he could get up, his big hand had already been shaken, and he actually grabbed his entire torso with only one palm, lifting him into the air.

Cassios's body is still as extraordinary as ever, after three years of hard practice, at this time, he is three or four meters tall, standing there like a small mountain, with extremely strong oppression. The palm of the hand is also extraordinarily large, and it can hold Seiya with one hand and lift it effortlessly, which shows the great power of the hand.

"Cassios, you're despicable like this!!"

The magic bell didn't expect Casios to make a sudden move, Seiya's attention at that time was on the holy clothes, and he was taken advantage of by Casios, and he fell directly into the disadvantage, and his body was completely useless, and he was already facing an extremely dangerous situation.

"Shut up, Magic Bell! When you are in battle, your opponent sees a flaw, it is your own problem, don't blame it on others. ”

Sharna, who was standing in front, suddenly snorted coldly, turned her head and said lightly.

"You ......"

The magic bell was extremely angry, and just as he was about to say something, the situation in the field had changed completely.

Casios, who had captured Seiya, didn't seem to want to wait any longer, laughed, and after a few cruel words, raised his left hand and finger into a knife in the air.

"Well, let's start with your ears!!"

With a loud shout, Cassios slashed down Seiya's ear with a murderous god on his face.

Poof!

Blood, splattered in an instant...... RO@。
