Chapter 274 The Greek Debt King appears! (4.9k, 11,000 achieved per day)

In the underworld, a black raven passed through the thick fog of death and came to a dark temple on the border of Tartarus.

With the sound of slight flapping of wings, Hades, who was pruning the branches of a potted plant, looked up at the little guy who landed in front of the table, and reached out to take a golden branch from the other person's loosened paw.

Hades was slightly stunned as his eyes scanned a line of secret text engraved on the golden branch.

After carefully confirming the content several times, Pluto's gloomy face suddenly burst into ecstasy. He quickly dropped the scissors and put on a brand new outfit. Then it turned into a wisp of black smoke and enveloped the raven on the table. , flying towards the vibrant garden.

It only took about two-quarters of an hour for Hades to arrive at his destination. His atomized body returned to its original shape and landed on the outskirts of the garden.

As if sensing the arrival of visitors, the fences and flowers in the garden automatically give way to a blank path that leads directly to the depths of the garden.

Hades suppressed his excitement, straightened his clothes several times, and after checking for any wrinkles, he continued to move forward along the path.

Hidden by layers of trees, surrounded by fragrant grass, and winding paths, Hades finally saw the scenery before his eyes after several twists and turns.

An elegant and exquisite courtyard comes into view, and the gurgling water makes a pleasant sound, which seems to wash away the fatigue of the body and mind; flowers and plants that have been carefully cared for are planted on both sides of the road, competing for beauty; and in front of the palace with the open door, Persephone, wearing a long dress that fell to the floor, was standing in front of the steps, waving to him.

"coming?"

 “Oh, oh oh.”

Persephone took the initiative to talk to her for the first time, which made Hades' CPU feel a little exhausted. He nodded numbly and stood there in a daze.

Seeing her husband's dull reaction, the Queen of Hades sighed, took the initiative to step forward, reached out to hold Hades' arm, and spoke softly.

 “Let's go and sit down first.”

Feeling the softness in his arms and smelling the fragrance coming from beside him, Hades, who was used to being treated coldly, felt a little flattered for a moment, like a puppet on strings, being led into the house by the Queen of the Underworld.

As soon as you walked in, the rich aroma of the food flowed into your nose, and more than a dozen dishes of delicious food spread on the table, making it look warm and grand.

 “Here comes the soup~”

With the reminder of a high-pitched voice, a young man with silver hair and purple eyes walked out of the kitchen with a pot of chicken soup in his hands and a smile on his face.

 Seeing the unexpected figure, Hades, who had been down, finally came to his senses and reconnected to log in.

 “Lorne? Are you there?”

"I'm here to deliver a message." Lorne nodded, put the chicken soup on the table, and continued to explain, "Melinoe has been away from home for a while, and I have always missed you. So this time I specially went to the underworld. , brought some news related to her, so that you can know the current situation of the girl, so as not to worry about her. "

 Hearing the sincere explanation, Hades's eyes suddenly became a little softer.

 That's right, I still care about my family, so I didn't entrust my daughter to this guy in vain.

Immediately, Pluto, who was in a better mood, looked at the dishes on the table.

"You did it?"

"Most of it was Hades..." Under Persephone's slightly annoyed gaze, Lorne quickly changed his words, "...Mother did it, and I am mainly responsible for taking care of it."

Hearing this, Hades looked at his wife aside in surprise.

 —You actually cooked in person today and invited him?

“Melinoe is your daughter, and of course you have the right to know about her, so Lorne hopes that you can also be present.”

Persephone spoke calmly and directly revealed the mastermind.

Upon hearing this, Hades looked towards the opposite side with deep joy and emotion.

 That's right, this son is not in vain! I really worry about his adoptive father!

"Okay, don't talk so much. The dishes are cold. Let's sit down and eat first."

At this time, Lorne very obediently pulled out the chairs for Hades and Persephone, and asked them to sit down, like a dutiful son who did his duty.

With this lubricant, the relationship between Pluto and Pluto, which had been frozen for many years, gradually became harmonious.

In this harmonious atmosphere, Lorne also sat down, and while continuing to warm up under the banner of a family dinner, he praised Hades for a while, intentionally or unintentionally revealing that Pluto was silently behind his back. pay.

When Persephone heard that Hades was secretly investigating the secrets of the Elysée Garden and letting Lorne and her baby daughter go privately, she couldn't help but look at her boring husband a few more times, her eyes filled with tears. With a burst of soft color, he raised his hand and put a few dishes on Hades's plate, and spoke softly.

 “I made it, eat more.”

Hearing the tenderness and obvious closeness in his wife's words, Hades was so flattered that he almost burst into tears.

Lorne, who witnessed all this, complained secretly in his heart.

I don't know whether I should say affectionate or dog-licking. But with your performance, I guess without my support, you will never be able to stand up in front of your wife in this life.

 In fact, Persephone's change of opinion towards Hades was not easily formed over a dinner. It can be said that Lorne worked hard behind the scenes.

After abducting Melinoe, he not only taught the stinky sister how to write letters home, pretending to be well-behaved and make Persephone happy, he also repeatedly spoke kind words for Hades in the letter, and made Persephone happy. A series of labels such as "affectionate", "family-oriented", "honest and loyal" were attached to this adoptive father.

 Subtlely, Persephone's view of Hades gradually changed.

 Lorne was not surprised by this.

After all, to be fair, Hades is not a qualified lover, but he is a qualified husband.

He has always been kind to Persephone over the years, and it can even be said that he doted on her.

The only black spot is that when he was pursuing Persephone, Hades used some disgraceful methods.

However, there are many examples of this kind of use of force in Greece. It is not a heinous crime at all. It can be easily washed away if you want.

What's more, a certain Olympus God-King was the driving force behind the whole incident.

At that time, Persephone had just suffered the pain of losing her son. In order to relieve her mood, she went to Enna area with the nymphs in the jungle to pick flowers. With the tacit approval of Zeus, the earth goddess Gaia caused a narcissus to bloom on the earth. Persephone unknowingly strayed away from her friends during the process of picking flowers. When she was about to pick the seemingly harmless narcissus, , the earth opened, and four black horses appeared pulling the chariot of Hades, the king of Hades. He forced Persephone into the carriage and drove back to the underworld.

Hades had fallen in love with her a long time ago, and only carried out this plan with the acquiescence and help of Zeus.

It is for this reason that Pluto is willing to stay in the dark underworld, firmly supports the rule of Zeus, and does not touch the royal power of Olympus.

The son was killed inexplicably, and after being played with himself, he was given to outsiders as a tool to win over.

 Even if Persephone is angry and resentful, under the guidance of a senior PUA master, she will target the real culprit.

Coupled with the examples of Hera and the Queen of the Sea that Lorne brought up from time to time, Hades's honest and dedicated character became even more valuable among the brothers by comparison.

But this adoptive father is indeed a top-notch boring gourd. Even if Lorne's assists are almost smoking, Hades has a silent attitude of giving, and does not reveal his investigation of the Elysée Garden and the release of his daughter to his family at all. My wife said it clearly.

　Until today, Lorne was able to use this family dinner to formally express his merits to his adoptive father.

 And the results were obvious. Not only did Persephone not give Hades a cold face throughout the whole process, but she also frequently brought food and food to Hades for the first time, which made Pluto, who was surrounded by a strong sense of happiness, almost think he was dreaming.

Seeing that the relationship between the two had completely broken down, Lorne, who acted as a matchmaker, finally breathed a sigh of relief and talked about Melinoe's current situation at the dinner table.

 Speaking of it, the life of this conspiracy goddess on the Ares Mountain was quite nourishing.

On the one hand, without the control of Hecate and the chatter of Hades and Persephone, she can play wildly in the vibrant human world, not to mention how free she is.

On the other hand, because of similar odors, she made friends with Stheno, the female imp Eurielle, and Circe, the evil witch. The four of them formed a group all day long to tease passers-by, or sneaked into the Academy of Athens. They make trouble and are known as the "Four Pests of Athens".

Although the four of them were inevitably caught and beaten by Hestia and Athena after being exposed, they were never tired of it and seemed to enjoy this interesting life very much.

Coupled with the good food at Ares Mountain, Melinoe, who was happy and carefree, gained several pounds.

Of course, considering the moods of Hades and Persephone, as well as Melinoe's butt, some words still need to be said.

For example, Melinoe missed them very much and often talked about her parents in the underworld, thinking that one day she could reunite with them as soon as possible.

　Hades and Persephone were both happy and sad when they heard this.

As parents, why don't they want to keep their daughter in their lap to celebrate and live a happy life as a family of three.

  But with the goddess of the dark moon around, they could only keep this thought in their hearts for the safety of their daughter. “Actually, it's not impossible to reunite the family.”

Lorne, who had made a long circle to set up the atmosphere, his eyes flickered at this moment, and he could see the picture clearly.

"As long as Hecate can be driven out of the underworld, no one can disturb the peaceful life of you, your mother, and your sister."

 “Kick her away? How is this possible?”

Hades was a little unconvinced. He knew the scheming and strength of the goddess of the moon, so he was naturally deeply suspicious of this whimsical plan.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Lorne said seriously, then opened his coat, revealing the increasingly active Hecate Wheel on his chest, and said with a sincere face, "This is not only about whether Melinoe can Reuniting with you and my mother is also related to whether I can get rid of this shackles, so I will do my best!"

 Driving Hecate out of the underworld is equivalent to cutting off her foundation, and it is far easier to deal with her than here.

Hades understood Lorne's intention, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

 “Tell me, what do you want us to do?”

Lorne took a deep breath and answered in a deep voice.

“I want to go to the Elysée Garden again to test some of my guesses. If successful, the plan should have an 80% chance of winning.”

　Hades nodded slightly when he heard the words.

"Okay, I will send Hecate away tomorrow in the name of a feast."

 “I'll come too.”

 The queen on the side spoke softly, holding her husband's somewhat rough hand tightly under the table, looking at the adopted son opposite with soft eyes, feeling peaceful in her heart.

At this moment, she has regarded the two men in front of her as a complete support and is willing to be their common support.

Lorne caught a glimpse of the foster mother's little movements under the table, coughed slightly, and stood up to say goodbye.

“Time is urgent, so I'll make some preparations first.”

 Speaking, he waved goodbye to Hades and Persephone and walked out of the garden.

Before leaving, he did not forget to turn around and wink at Hades at the door with a teasing look on his face.

 This brat!

Pluto laughed and cursed secretly, then turned to look at Persephone beside him.

Under the slightly flickering fluorite light, the wife who used to be as cold as ice showed a rare tenderness, her face was as beautiful as a peach and plum, which made people's hearts flutter, and her graceful upper body had completely fallen into his arms.

Hades suddenly understood and immediately picked up his beloved wife by the waist, turned around and stepped into the palace, with the door behind him quietly closed.

 The next day, in the dim crypt of Arima, a golden branch of a garden stuck in the ground flickered brightly and dimly.

 Perceiving the resonance of that special frequency, Lorne suddenly opened his eyes while meditating.

It's time!

Immediately, as usual, he left the fairy delicacies, secret wine and honey cakes he carried to Cerberus at the entrance of the cave to satisfy his appetite. After that, he walked out of the cave and quietly walked towards the Elysée Garden.

 It is easy to drive and has a smooth journey.

Lorne only spent half the time before, successfully sneaking into the Elysée Garden and finding the ivory door leading to the [Real Dream].

 Subsequently, following Hades's teachings, he activated the [Mark of the Dead] on the back of his right hand and placed the divine seal that flashed at a special frequency on the ivory door.

 For a moment, the white ivory door swung open into ripples like water, and a bizarre dreamland scene appeared inside.

 Ready, Lorne took a deep breath and stepped into the ivory door.

 After a familiar feeling of stagnation, he suddenly stood on the dream beach where he landed before.

 Only this time, there was no warm welcome from Demon Ancestor Typhon.

Lorne glanced at the calm sea, a subtle smile appeared on his face, he reached out and took out the golden Holy Grail in the magic circle, and slowly tipped it over.

A wisp of golden-red divine blood poured onto the beach and sea water at his feet, and then spread out.

In an instant, waves of turbulent waves arose on the originally calm sea, and evil beasts turned into typhoons gathered and roared; lightning flashed and thundered in the blue sky, and eyes composed of stars cast their gazes; there were constant roars under the earth, and each one resembled a The giant's mountain began to shake violently...

 The whole dead world seemed to come alive in an instant.

Facing the ensuing visions, Lorne smiled playfully, tilted the golden Holy Grail in his hand slightly, revealing the golden-red divine blood flowing in the cup, and spoke leisurely.

 “Want it?”

 Suddenly, the typhoon stirred up furious waves, the nebulae tore through the sky, and the earth cracked...

 Different visions express the same indescribable desire.

 Seeing this violent reaction, Lorne's suspicion was confirmed.

 Sure enough, he and Hecate share the same [possibility]. What Hecate can do, he can theoretically do.

 For example, awaken these old gods from their slumber and give them the opportunity to return to the living world.

It is precisely because of this particularity that as soon as he landed in the dream world, he was stared at by Typhon who was not yet asleep.

At this moment, as the divine blood containing chance was spilled, the prisoners who sensed this aura became excited and frantically gathered towards Lorne on the beach.

“Don't worry, Hecate is still here, it's useless even if you eat me alive, not to mention whether I can eat it or not is another question.”

　　Hearing the warden's divine name and the well-founded analysis, the originally restless consciousness calmed down slightly, but the strong unwillingness still condensed and boiled throughout the dream world.

"Well, lend me your strength and divinity, and I will find a way to help you deal with her and rescue you from this predicament."

 The old gods, who had little sense of autonomy left, collectively fell into silence.

When Lorne saw this, as if he felt humiliated, he tore off his coat, revealing the shining wheel of Hecate, angrily proving himself.

“Don't believe me? I have a grudge against her too!”

However, the old gods still did not respond, obviously not believing in each other's credibility or ability.

Lorne, who suffered successive setbacks, was heartbroken and finally made a fierce announcement.

"Forget it, let me guarantee the head office with my soul, right? I swear to the Styx River that I will try my best to rescue you. If I cannot fulfill my promise or die on the way, my soul and the rest of my body will Divinity belongs to you!"

 “Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”

In an instant, the originally dead dream world began to boil again.

 One by one, the old gods saw hope and rushed to make their attitude clear, hoping to make a treaty with the intruder in front of them.

 Success, they can break free from this never-ending dream;

 Failing, they can still get the slightest [possibility] that allows them to get out of trouble.

 It's not a bad thing no matter what, let's do it!

Looking at the excited seniors rushing to lend money to him, Lorne raised his hand and pressed down, with a warm and bright smile on his handsome face.

 “Don't worry, come one by one, everyone will have a share.”
