Marvel's Father Earth

Sure enough, as Gallon said, Howard and Paige woke up just in the evening. The sanctuary seemed to be enveloped by an invisible magical power. The body's recovery ability here was much faster than outside.

After the two woke up, they ate something casually, and Steve explained the current situation to them.

"So we were just implicated by you?" Howard looked at Steve with a look of resentment.

"Uh..." Steve was embarrassed. He wanted to refute, but the fact was that he was speechless.

"It's not your fault, Steve. It's because our intelligence work was inadequate. Damn it, I actually made such a mistake." Paige secretly hated her own negligence. She was an excellent spy and naturally knew the information. Important, but it fell off the chain at a critical moment.

"I don't blame you, Paige, it was my decision to go directly into the mountains, and I will be responsible for it." Steve comforted.

"Steve..."

"Peggy..."

"Cough cough."

Just as the atmosphere between Steve and Paige gradually became ambiguous, and their faces were getting closer and closer, Howard's voice sounded uninterested: "I know I'm a disgrace, but can you two Pay attention I’m still here!”

Howard rolled his eyes. This couple of bitches really didn't care about the place or the occasion. He was such a big living person and he was still sitting there. He started right away when he didn't agree. Although he didn't eat too much just now, he still used it. I don’t need to feed you dog food.

The two of them quickly separated with red faces. Paige quickly adjusted herself and asked, "What should we do next?"

"I don't know, but Garen reminded us to stay here and wait for notification." Steve said.

"That's fine, I don't want to have to walk in the fog again for no reason." Howard joked.

In fact, after this life-and-death crisis, Howard saw a lot of things clearly and his character grew a lot. Moreover, his recognition of Steve went to a higher level. The two could be considered a life-and-death acquaintance. He gained more than if he had been starved for several days, and he didn't complain too much.

"Did Garon tell you when to meet us?" Paige asked, after all, they didn't have enough time.

"I didn't say, but I think he will come tomorrow." Steve said confidently.

"reason?"

"intuition."

"Intuition?" Howard and Paige raised their eyebrows.

"Don't underestimate your intuition. It has saved me many times on the battlefield," Steve said.

In fact, he couldn't explain why. After arriving at the sanctuary, he found that he had a different feeling in his mind. It was a bit like... more confident. He had an inexplicable confidence in some things.

"Okay, let's go to bed early. I've been very tired these past few days. Look at me, I've lost a lot of weight," Howard said.

"Is there any difference? Isn't all your fat burned on the bed?" Paige teased angrily.

"You are slandering! I...well, I admit that I am a playboy, but I don't burn all the fat in bed!" Howard retorted.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Playboy, let's go to bed early."

But at this time, they were embarrassed again, because...

The house has only two rooms.

"How to distribute?" Howard asked jokingly, looking back and forth between Steve and Paige.

"I'll keep watch, you and Paige can sleep in the same room." Steve decided with a blushing face, and walked out of the door without waiting for the two to continue teasing.

"It seems you still have a long way to go, Paige." Howard smiled.

"Hmph, so what? An elm head is always better than a humanoid self-propelled cannon." Paige joked back, entering the room and closing the door without even giving Howard a chance to attack.

Howard stared at the door and gritted his teeth, actually saying that he was a humanoid self-propelled cannon!This is simply slander!I just...I just...well, very graphic.

Thinking of this, Howard slumped and returned to his room weakly.

……

Early the next morning, Garen indeed came to see them.

"His Majesty the Pope wants to see you, come with me." Gallon said seriously.

Peggy and Howard kept looking at Gallon. Although they had heard about it from Steve many times, this was the first time they had seen it with their own eyes.

Black armor, flowing long hair, and a childish face that did not match the strong body. There was no easy-going laughter in Steve's mouth, only solemnity.

"Hello, Mr. Gallon, I'm Peggy Carter."

"My name is Howard, Howard Stark."

The two introduced themselves politely, and even Howard, who had always been proud and venomous, was shocked by the strong aura exuded by Gallon.

Garen nodded, without saying anything, and led the three of them up the stairs of the Twelve Palaces.

Along the way, the three of them constantly observed the twelve zodiac signs, and determined that most of them were empty. The golden box was placed in the center of the palace, but they did not dare to touch it at will. The sense of crisis they had developed for a long time told them , if you touch it casually, something terrible will happen.

Along the way, we came to the Pope's Palace, and at the same time, there were three golden-armored warriors standing on both sides.

"Meet the Pope, he has been brought here." Garron knelt down on one knee and reported.

Although the three Steves were not in the mood to kneel down, they still bowed.

"Thank you, go down."

"Yes."

In the Pope's Royal Council, only the Gold Saints can separate the two sides. This has been a rule since ancient times. Although Garen is not much weaker than the Gold Saints and is the Dark Star of Gemini, he is still a Silver Saint. This is Can not change.

But Garen was not dissatisfied because of this, and was even proud of it. After all, he was the bodyguard recognized by Maierin himself, which was an honor shared by Scorpion.

"First meeting, Your Majesty the Pope, thank you very much for meeting me. I am Peggy Carter, this is Steve Rogers, and this is Howard Stark."

The specific communication matters were led by Peggy. Howard's foul mouth and lack of integrity could easily offend people. Steve was not good at it and had too much trust in Sanctuary. Peggy was afraid that he would be betrayed by others, so she helped him. How many people are there?

"Hello, Miss Carter, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Stark, I already know your purpose of coming. Don't worry, we will not anger the entire country because of a few rude people." Shion said directly.

Paige was stunned for a moment, and she prepared a lot of rhetoric, but it turned out to be useless, and the other party jumped directly to the best result.

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome, Lord Merin has decided to reform the sanctuary and gradually open it to the outside world. It is also our goal to establish friendly ties with the outside world."

"With all due respect, Your Majesty the Pope, do you think that the Holy Land can always be on its own?" Paige asked.

"I understand what you mean, Miss Carter. The Sanctuary has the power to destroy the world. To put it bluntly, it is not difficult for even a Bronze Saint to destroy a city by himself. But for hundreds of thousands of years, , the Holy Domain has always been independent from the world, we will not accept the control of any force, and of course we will not oppress any force." Shi Ang said.

"In that case, I won't say anything more. I look forward to your friendly relationship with us," Peggy said.

"I hope so too."

"Then we..."

"Okay, the formal meeting is over, now it's time for private time."

Just as Paige was about to leave, Shion's words stunned the three of them.

I saw Shion taking off his helmet and walking down from the seat.

"Are you!?" Previously blocked by the helmet, Howard had never been able to see Shion's face clearly, and he couldn't be sure whether the pope was the benefactor who helped him back then. It was only now that he saw it clearly. That face was very familiar, but... A very unfamiliar face.

"What? You don't recognize me anymore? My little friend." Shion asked kindly.

"You! Are you the old man from back then? But...but how can you be so young? Or...are you a descendant of that old man?" Howard was a little panicked. Although his appearance was younger and his voice was more delicate, The tone and feeling made him sure that Shion was his benefactor, but he couldn't believe it.

"Hahaha, we haven't seen each other for so many years. It's normal for children not to recognize me. After all, I have changed a lot." Shi Ang said with a smile.

"It's really you! But... why..."

"This was given to me by Lord Merin. Old guy, I haven't led the Holy Land back to its peak yet, so how can I leave early?" Shion explained.

"This is simply... unbelievable..." Howard smiled bitterly and shook his head, rejuvenating himself. This is the ultimate pursuit of everyone in human history.

It was originally just a casual chat and joke after dinner, but I didn't expect it to happen right in front of me.

"There are still many unknowns in this world waiting for us to discover. It's not a big deal." Shiang said.

"Haha, you are right, old man, you made it easy for me to find you. Without your help back then, it would have been a matter of life or death for me now." Stark said with a smile.

"That's fate between you and me. I just went down the mountain to look for children who are talented to inherit the Saint Seiya. When I met you, you were pretty good, so I helped you. Your current achievements are entirely due to your own efforts." Shiang said.

"Haha, who calls me a genius? But, old man, I still have the 30% shares I left for you. When do you think it will be delivered to you?"

"No need, just leave it to you, or leave it to your descendants as a gift for reunion."

"But... okay, but I'll keep it for you. After all, it's worth a lot of money." Howard originally wanted to persuade him, but looking at Shion's clear and firm eyes, he knew he couldn't persuade him anymore. .

Hearing this, Steve and Paige rolled their eyes. Is it worth a lot of money?That’s worth quite a bit of money!A 30% stake in Stark Industries can make a pauper with nothing immediately become one of the richest people in the world.

So when they saw that Shion declined and said that he would leave it to Howard's descendants as a gift for their reunion, their respect arose spontaneously.

Aiolos, Saga and Aiolia have not changed much. For the Saints, money is just a foreign object and they never care.

"Are these three the legendary Golden Saints?" Howard asked, looking at the three.

"Gemini Gold Saint Saga."

"Leo Gold Saint Aioria."

"Sagittarius Gold Saint Aiolos."

The three people announced their names and nodded. Although they were a little dissatisfied with Howard's tone and attitude, before meeting the three people, Shion said hello and was an old acquaintance of his, so the three people did not have an attack.

"Are all Saints so young?" Howard asked Shion with some confusion. After all, the three of them all looked like teenagers, and the youngest Aiolia might not even be ten years old.

"Well, there is nothing we can do about it. The last holy war was too brutal. Only three people including me survived. After the holy war, other evil gods launched small-scale wars. It was not until recently that things calmed down." Shi Ang sighed and said, this tone containing endless bitterness.

"Sorry." Howard knew that he had brought back bad memories of the other person and immediately apologized.

"It doesn't matter, this is the mission and responsibility of the saints. From the day we put on the holy clothes, we have been prepared to sacrifice. The comrades who sacrificed will only be happy. They have completed their mission and protected the earth. Love and hope." Shion said with a smile.

The three Saga looked solemnly and paid silent tribute to the sacrificed ancestors, while the three Steves also showed respect to Shion and the saints in the sanctuary.

"By the way, old man, this is what we found. I think this should be your thing." Howard glanced at Peggy, and Peggy quickly found an ancient book from her backpack and handed it to Howard, and then Put it into Shion's hands.

Shion stroked the cover of the book and then turned to the first page, but at just the first glance, his expression changed.

"This! This is..."
