Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 255

Chapter 255 Do you want my soul?

I don't know how long it took, but a slight stinging pain came from the back of his neck, awakening Lorne's consciousness from chaos.

 “Where is this?”

He shook his sore head and looked blankly at the dull and simple room in front of him.

 “My bedroom.”

A deep voice came. Hades, who was pruning the branches of a potted plant, put down the scissors in his hand and looked up at Lorne in front of him, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

“I was only unconscious for two hours, which is not bad.”

Hearing this, Lorne suddenly became alert and cursed secretly in his heart.

 He remembered that he was knocked unconscious and arrested by this old boy.

But fortunately, he drew on Thetis's experience every time he took action, and was used to putting more than ten or twenty disguise magics on himself.

Although Hades's divine power shock destroyed most of them, he still retained a few of the most critical spells, and the blessings given to him by the Goddess of Memory and the Nine Muses also had the characteristic of distorting cognition. .

 Therefore, there is no need to worry that Pluto will be able to recognize him in the crowd in the future.

"What are you doing? If you want to call me, just say it casually. How can I refuse?"

Lorne rubbed the aching back of his neck, got up from the ground, took the initiative to show weakness, complained with a resentful look, and at the same time asked Hades's intention of kidnapping him.

“You can tell me whatever you want, as long as I have the ability to do it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!”

Hades glanced at the prisoner who was close to him and went straight to the point.

 “It's simple, hand over my daughter.”

 Lorne suppressed his smile and looked helpless.

"I'm afraid this won't work. I promised Her Highness the Queen of Hades to take Princess Melinoe away safely."

 “Leave, where to go? The human world?”

Hades snorted and asked, then glanced at Lorne with disdain.

"The underworld is her home! I am her father, and it is not the outsider's turn to interfere in my family affairs! What's more, I am still a living person of unknown origin!"

 Obviously, unlike Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld, Hades, the old father, does not trust Lorne, an outsider, and is not willing to entrust his daughter into his hands.

"Your Majesty, I would like to reiterate to you that it was the Queen's decision to take Princess Melinoe out of the underworld. I have no intention of offending, but I am just doing my best to repay the kindness that the Lord has shown me."

While clarifying his position as a third party, Lorne took out the eclipsed Horn of Plenty and weaved a touching story with half truths and half lies.

"You must also know what happens to a living person who rashly breaks into the underworld. Fortunately, I met the Queen of the Underworld. She not only guided me out, but also helped me get rid of the death energy on my body. The artifact of life.”

“She is actually willing to do this for you?”

Hades frowned deeply when he heard this, and strong doubts emerged in his heart, and then his eyes towards Lorne gradually became strange and gloomy.

I have to admit that the young boy in front of me is handsome and very popular with the opposite sex.

 If that's the case, he won't be able to stay at all!

Lorne didn't seem to notice the murderous intent in His Majesty Pluto's eyes. He was just immersed in some memories of the past, and there was a touch of bitter sadness in his eyebrows.

“Maybe it's because I called her 'mother'?”

 The unexpected answer made Hades slightly stunned.

Lorne came back to his senses, quickly restrained the fragile emotions that were "accidentally" exposed, and opened his mouth to explain.

“To tell you the truth, I have lost my mother since I was a child. After learning that the underworld is the home of all the dead, I thought that one day I could find her here and reunite with her.”

Hades listened with rapt attention and subconsciously asked: "Then have you found it?"

"She's gone..." Lorne smiled bitterly and shook his head, the sadness on his face getting a little more intense.

Hades couldn't help but be silent for a while, and the vigilance and hostility in his eyes towards the person in front of him had unknowingly turned into a trace of pity.

 The meaning of "absent" in the underworld means that the mother has completely disappeared into ashes.

 After all, not all souls are so lucky to be able to keep their original form and memories intact and enter the underworld to wait for judgment and rebirth.

 “Fortunately, fate favored me after all.”

But then, Lorne smiled, took the initiative to break the somewhat depressing atmosphere in the palace, and continued to talk about the past.

"When I was desperate, I met the Queen of Hades. Her back looked very much like the mother I remembered, so I shouted something out of nowhere. She seemed very happy. She not only saved me, but also helped me escape from Hades. go out."

 After saying that, Lorne saw Hades's still gloomy expression, and he immediately raised his hands and swore as if he was afraid that the other party would not believe him.

"I guarantee that everything I said above is true. If there is even half a lie, please let the Styx River punish me!"

The figure stood quietly waiting, and the Styx River that guarded the oath did not cause any strangeness in him.

 Seeing this scene in front of him, Hades' doubts disappeared.

 Obviously, what this guy said is true.

Of course they are all true.

However, these are only part of the truth...

Lorne, who had completed the deception again, murmured with a secret smile, turned to look at Hades solemnly, and spoke sincerely.

"Although Lord Underworld didn't express anything, I already regard her as my other mother in my heart! Of course, this is just my personal thought, and I have absolutely no intention of offending you."

 Hades nodded slightly in silence, with a rather complicated expression.

 He probably understood why his wife was so fond of the little guy in front of him.

 The reason is the phrase "mother".

If it hadn't been for the accident in the Battle of the Titans, the child named Zagreus would probably have grown up to be what he is now.     One is a child who has lost his mother, and the other is a mother who has lost her child.

 A chance meeting connected them to each other.

After thinking through his thoughts and figuring out the ins and outs of it, Pluto sighed quietly, looked at Lorne with a soft look in his eyes, and actually offered a rare word of comfort.

 “No problem, this is your blessing...”

 “Well, I think so too.”

 Lorne nodded, and then spoke sincerely.

"So, after I recovered from my injuries, I went to Hades again. I wanted to visit the Underworld Queen quietly, but I didn't expect that she would encounter troubles that she couldn't solve. Moreover, there were times when I could help."

Hearing the cheerful emotion, Hades couldn't help but frown and snort.

"No need! I will take care of my daughter's matter myself! Hand her over and you can leave. I will not hold you accountable for your private entry into the underworld!"

 “Can you solve it? Not necessarily?”

 Lorne shook his head, looked meaningfully at Pluto in front of him, and spoke quietly.

"If you can really become the support of their mother and daughter, why would the Queen of the Underworld entrust the princess to an outsider who has just met twice?"

Hades heard this, his face was clouded, and he couldn't help but became furious.

　　　“Presumptuous!”

 “I'm just stating the facts!”

Lorne remained unfazed, withstood the surging divine power around him, looked directly at the angry Lord of the Underworld, and spoke unceremoniously.

“I have heard the general situation from Lord Underworld.

Even if Princess Melinoe is left in the underworld, what if she stays with you? Can you refuse the goddess Hecate to come to control your disciples and followers? Or can it block the prying eyes of the Olympian God King and the three goddesses of destiny?

Moreover, you also know the nature of the underworld. This is just a prison, a place of execution where countless old gods are imprisoned. Once something happens, the underworld itself will be the first to suffer! Even if you take action at that time, it may not end well. Can you protect her for a while and protect her for a lifetime?

What's more, as a father, you can't bear to let your daughter live in prison, hiding in the shadows all day long, just like the prisoners of Tartarus? "

Hearing the heart-wrenching question, Hades couldn't help but became furious and glared at the trespassing living person in front of him.

 “That's enough! It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!”

"How dare I tell you what to do? I'm just thinking about the Underworld Queen."

Lorne spoke calmly, but his words were rather sinister.

Hades was agitated by this and became furious.

 “Shut up, where is my daughter? Hand her over!”

Lorne puffed up his chest and said righteously: "I'm sorry to obey! I was entrusted by the Queen of the Underworld to send Her Royal Highness the Princess out of the underworld. Without that Lord speaking up, no one can think of keeping Her Highness the Princess, unless they step over my body first. past!"

"you wanna die!"

Hades's face was livid, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and his fists wrapped in death air blasted forward with thunderous momentum.

 Lorne stood there, closing his eyes calmly, not evading.

However, the life-killing aura of death stopped abruptly in front of him.

Lorne slowly opened his eyes, looked at the fist in front of him that had not yet fallen, and asked with a faint smile.

 “You won't do it?”

 “Okay, you are already qualified.”

Hades took a deep look at the other person, snorted and retracted his fist.

The daughter Melinoe is in the hands of the other party, and the hiding place is still unknown; the wife also has great trust in this boy and treats him as half a son.

Even if he tried to be quick, he couldn't really ignore it and kill this kid with one punch.

Although everything that happened just now was an exaggeration, it was mostly to test whether this boy was worth the entrustment, whether he would betray Melinoe at the moment of life and death and choose to live on his own.

As a result, under his constant pressure, this kid finally stuck to his bottom line and his promise to Persephone.

However, the whole process still made Hades a little unhappy.

Although several of the questions raised by the other party hit his pain points, he admitted that he was indeed unable to solve them.

But knowing that it is one thing, to come out and criticize him shamelessly would be a bit disrespectful to him, the king of Hades.

If it weren't for the sake of his wife and daughter, he would have slapped the other person to death.

 “Go away, don't let me see you!”

Hades waved his hand and issued the eviction order, his gloomy face full of disdain for a certain arrogant boy.

However, Lorne didn't seem to see the disgusted expression on Pluto's face and smiled.

 “Before I leave, I want to make a deal with you.”

"No interest! If you don't leave, I will throw you out!"

Pluto, who was in a bad mood, waved his hand and refused impatiently.

Facing Hades's bad attitude, Lorne had a brighter smile on his face and spoke leisurely.

 “What if I plan to sacrifice my soul to you?”

In an instant, Pluto, who was walking towards the interior of the palace with his hands behind his back, stopped, turned around and looked at the boy who made the shocking words in surprise.
