Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 218

Chapter 218: Fire protection, theft protection, best friend protection

 Half an hour later, on the banks of the River Styx.

Sisyphus looked at the river that had been motionless for a long time with an ugly expression on his face.

He has lost all the gold coins of the dead in his hand, but Charon, the **** of crossing the Styx, has not yet appeared on the ferry.

Even, as the water surged, the few coins originally thrown out to buy the road were washed back to the river bank one after another.

Looking at the wet gold coins of the dead man at his feet, Sisyphus couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

 What happened? That old boy from Charon refuses to take the order?

 Isn't he always greedy for money? When did the door-to-door business stop?

 At worst, we'll pay more!

“Forget it, it seems we can't count on him this time.”

 Lorne shook his head, dispelling Sisyphus's urge to increase the price.

They dug such a big basket, Charon's body is not heavy enough even if weighed with bones and meat. In this situation, the guy has no time to hide, so how can he dare to come to help.

 The opposite side is greedy for money, but not stupid...

 Trouble.

 This unexpected turn of events made Lorne's eyes filled with a hint of gloom.

 After thinking briefly for a moment, he made a new decision.

 “Don't wait for the ferry, let's go along the river!”

 According to the map given by King Minos, you can also reach the Crypt of Arima along the river.

It's just that this will require a long detour, and there will inevitably be many complications along the way, including encounters with the underworld's pursuers who are searching for mountains and seas.

Just as the four of them were preparing to embark on a new journey, Sisyphus suddenly heard the churning of the river behind him and couldn't help but turn around in excitement.

 “Wait a minute, there's movement on the water!”

At this time, circles of ripples spread from the distance, and the dead gray fog lit up with faint spots of light.

 One…two…three…

 Dozens…hundreds…up to thousands!

Lorne's face changed drastically, and he immediately started shouting.

 “It's Mingdie! Let's go quickly!”

“Fuck, that old Charon guy actually sold us out!”

 Sisyphus on the side saw this situation and reacted instantly.

Two figures with the power of [Superior Speed] quickly fought against their teammates, turned around and ran for their lives.

 “Come on! Don't let them escape!”

On a warship built from the bones of the dead, four figures with gloomy and sharp auras jumped up and quickly surrounded the underworld criminals who were fleeing ahead.

Sisyphus turned back and glanced at him, and his soul suddenly appeared.

Hypnos, the **** of sleep, and the three goddesses of vengeance are all here! In addition, there are a large number of Menggua God Clan and Hades Guards!

 The old liar who always took pleasure in deceiving the gods couldn't help but curse and quicken his pace after realizing that he had been tricked.

 Charon, you old fool, just wait, I'm not done with you!

　　Running all the way, even though Lorne and Sisyphus both had the power of [Superior Speed], they still couldn't get much distance apart due to the disparity in strength.

 Even as time goes by, the auras behind him are getting closer and closer, gathering more and more.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lorne glanced at Sisyphus behind him maliciously.

It seems like it's time for the good brothers to show off their remaining energy, right?

However, as if sensing a hint of danger, Sisyphus subconsciously pulled Adonis on his body, held him firmly behind his back, and looked around vigilantly.

Tsk, no, the pretty boy Aphrodite wants is still in his hand.

If you throw both of them away together, the trip will be in vain.

 Forget it, think of another way...

With no choice but to temporarily put away his bad intentions of betraying his teammates, Lorne watched in all directions and listened in all directions, with thoughts racing in his mind, trying to find a new way to break the situation.

 “Over there…”

　　A breathy whisper came to his ears, and Lorne subconsciously ran away in the direction of Thetis's finger out of trust.

Soon, his eyes were attracted to a garden in the distance full of golden spikes, grape vines, daffodils, pomegranate trees, cypresses and other plants.

The rich greenery exudes the fragrant fragrance of flowers, which all seem to be plants on the ground.

 The vitality they are rich in dilutes and eliminates all the death energy of the underworld around them, as if they have opened up a quiet and beautiful paradise on earth in this kingdom of death.

"That is?"

 “Persephone's garden…”

 Thetis in her arms leaned close to Lorne's ear and reminded her in a deep voice, her eyes twinkling.

　　When Luo En, who was on the run, heard this, he suddenly woke up and felt excited.

 It seems like there is help!

 “Escape there!”

 After turning around to remind his teammates behind him, Lorne immediately activated his speed to the extreme and jumped into the garden behind the wall at lightning speed. Seeing this, Sisyphus speeded up in the same way, threw away the large group of pursuers behind him, and also plunged into a thick shadow.

"Chase!"

The God of Sleep and the Three Furies who followed him subconsciously rushed in. However, as gods of the underworld, they were inevitably contaminated with a lot of death energy, which naturally conflicted with the plants on the ground that represented vitality.

Therefore, as soon as you enter the garden, the surrounding plants die one after another because they cannot withstand the invasion of death, and the branches are covered with stamens and dead fruits.

 “Who let you in? Get out!”

At this time, a quiet and pleasant voice came from the depths of the garden. The anger and disgust mixed in it made the pursuing gods of the underworld subconsciously stop.

“My lord, there are escaped criminals from the underworld who have broken into your garden, we just...”

"I don't care who you want to arrest, but now I just see that you have trampled on my flowers. Get out immediately before I want to pursue it!"

 The quiet voice responded lightly, and then a hint of gloom brewed in it.

“Or do you want to stay here to make fertilizer? Do you need me to ask 'him' to come over?”

Listening to the tough command in their ears, and thinking of the "flower farmer" who was repairing potted plants in the great temple, Hypnos and the three goddesses of vengeance couldn't help but swallowed, and quickly retracted their steps, leading the people behind them. The guards of Hades retreated outside the garden territory like a tide.

Mejira, the eldest sister of the three vengeful goddesses, looked at the insurmountable chasm in front of her and had a headache. She turned around and asked her colleagues beside her.

"What should we do now?"

"First guard the outside and check the surroundings. I will report to His Majesty Pluto immediately and ask him to make a decision."

After Hypnos left his instructions, he flapped his wings behind him and quickly flew towards the Great Temple of the Underworld.

At the same time, in a quiet courtyard shaded by flowers and plants, an elegant woman wearing a veil and a black hair crown leaned against the pavilion and looked leisurely and lazily at the daffodils blooming in the pond.

The pomegranate seeds peeled in the palm of the hand are stuffed into the lips and teeth, biting and sucking gently, the juice explodes, with a hint of astringency among the sweet and sour taste.

 The emotions rising in the goddess's emerald green eyes were slightly complicated, and she sighed secretly.

In the past, it was because of these two things that I fell into the dark world of the underworld. Now, they have become the objects that I place my thoughts on. It is really ironic.

Memories of playing with nymphs in the forest valley in the past came to mind. The goddess was a little uninterested in the delicate and blooming daffodils in front of her. She raised her head and looked at a certain figure hidden in the shade, with a subtle smile on her face. smile.

"Come out, do you still need me to invite you? At least I have helped you so much."

Thetis smiled bitterly and walked out of the dense forest helplessly, the camouflage spells on her body fading away layer by layer.

 They... know each other?

Just when Sisyphus and Adonis subconsciously stretched their necks to look at this sudden expansion, they felt a pain in the back of their necks, and a shock that reached deep into their souls hit them like a tide.

 Fuck, here we go again!

As the familiar feeling came to his heart, Sisyphus cursed sadly and inwardly, and his consciousness was swallowed up by the boundless darkness, and he and Adonis fell into a complete coma.

Lorne looked at the two people who were lying on the ground, and skillfully threw seventeen or eighty spells such as suppression, confusion, and restraint spells. After confirming that the two of them were not pretending to be stunned, he walked out of the dense forest with confidence and followed Theti. Si's footsteps.

The fire of gossip burning in his body made him unable to help but ask quietly.

 “Do you know each other?”

 Thetis nodded, and while walking, she explained her relationship with the Queen of Hades in a few words.

The two parties were old acquaintances. Before Persephone became the Queen of the Underworld, the two gods often had banquets and chats together. Since both of them had quiet and leisurely personalities, they had a somewhat good friendship.

 Lorne listened and seemed to understand something.

It is mentioned in the mythological epic "The Iliad" that Thetis once entered the underworld many times in order to break the curse of the goddess of discord. She held her son Achilles' ankle and soaked him in the Styx River to make him invulnerable. .

 Being able to enter and exit the underworld so easily, and using the divine power of the underworld to forge a divine body for her son, Thetis obviously also had a backing in the underworld.

Now it seems that Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, is the reason why she dares to come in.

Even if some trouble is discovered, it is likely that former best friends can help to find out.

 No wonder Thetis always looked calm and calm along the way.

Realizing that his teammate was also a bigot, Lorne decisively entrusted the matter of negotiating with the Queen of Hades to Thetis.

Persephone listened to the plea of ​​her friend Thetis and nodded slightly: "Want me to help send you guys out? Yes, you can..."

Just when Thetis was looking happy, the Queen of Hades in the pavilion changed the subject.

 “But for helping me so much, how are you going to thank me?”

"I…"

Thetis was about to make some light promises, but Persephone raised her hand to interrupt Thetis' words and looked behind her faintly.

"Let's just leave him here and you go..."

Hearing this, Lorne subconsciously looked at Adonis who was unconscious in the jungle.

According to legend, after the death of the Cypriot prince, his soul was fought over by the Queen of Hades and the God of Love. Finally, through the mediation of Zeus, he stayed with Persephone in Hades for six months of each year, and boarded the Celestial Palace for the remaining six months. The surface of the earth belongs to Aphrodite.

 Damn pretty boy, you're causing trouble for me again!

Just as Lorne was secretly cursing, he suddenly felt a burning gaze in front of him.

He followed the ghostly gaze of the Queen of the Underworld and stiffly lowered his head to look at himself, his brain shutting down in astonishment.

 Wait, this doesn't seem right, right? !
