I weave fate in parallel time and space

Thanatos told about the appearance of that existence, and he actually encountered that existence a few years ago.

At that time, he didn't dare to take a breath, so he transported that existence to Hades.

He didn't even dare to mention the reward, but that existence was generous and gave him a whole bag of gold coins.

It was the biggest single fare he had ever received, so he was very impressed.

He came back to his senses, "Is the person you're talking about wearing a white robe and full of white hair?"

The three looked at each other, then Dina nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, and she is very young and handsome."

"He asked us to come." Hughes added quickly when he saw this.

Caron hesitated for a moment, then he sighed.

"Well, anyway, the boat is almost full, I think it's about the same with the three of you, and it's just right to sail."

He stood up, "Follow me."

They squeezed their way through a crowd of waiting souls, some trying to grab their clothes, but it felt like the wind was blowing.

Their voices were whispering something we couldn't understand, and there was a little pleading in their eyes.

Caron turned his head and scolded.

"Go away! Freeloaders!"

They successfully boarded the ship, while Caron stood at the door of the ship and pushed away two undead who were trying to sneak in.

"How long are they going to wait?" White asked.

"Hundreds of years, maybe when I show mercy one day."

White glanced back, and he said, "A friend of mine told me that death is the fairest thing in this world, because no matter you are poor or rich, you will eventually die."

Caron raised his eyebrows, "Where is there any absolute fairness in this world, even if I transport them there, these people will still have to wait in the end.

The number of you humans has increased over the years is too large, too large to be able to bear the scope of the underworld. "

"So you won't expand efficiency?" White asked.

"It's so simple. Will you pay for the extra expenses?
The Tribunal has been in Hades for thousands of years, most of them were the gods of the Titan era, even the Hades era is hard to say, they will not allow their power to be dispersed.

The Hades in the east didn't solve this kind of thing either. Their Hades had a very good geographical location. They built a bridge directly on the River Styx, so they could go across without a boat.

But if you look at it, you will find that it is congested all the year round, and it is very common to wait in line for hundreds of years.

Because the population in the East is larger.

So, your luck is very good, you can board the ship without waiting. "

He grinned slowly.

"So, are you ready to die?"

"We're going to get out alive," White said.

"what."

They stood on the deck, the river black and oily, floating in the water with bones, dead fish, and other strange things—like plastic dolls, crushed carnations, soggy gilt diplomas.

"Styx Styx." Dina murmured softly, "Why is it like this here?"

"Pollution." Cuaron continued, "For thousands of years, you humans have thrown all kinds of things into it—such as dreams, hopes and wishes that never came true, and...regrets.

This is a very irresponsible waste disposal. "

Fog swirled over the foul water, and above their heads a ceiling of stalactites loomed in the darkness.

Ahead of them, the far shore shone with a turquoise light, the color of poison.

A kind of unexplained fear welled up in their hearts.

what am i doing hereThe people around me. They're all dead.
These thoughts were circulating in White's mind, while Dina firmly grasped his hand.

Normally she would never do this, but at this moment, White understood his feelings very well.

At this time, it is very lucky to have a warm living person by my side.

The banks of the Underworld soon came into view, craggy boulders and black volcanic sand spreading some 100 meters inland to the base of a towering stone wall that stretched as far as their eyes could see.

Under the turquoise light, a voice came from somewhere nearby, echoing among the boulders.

It was the howling of a large animal.

There was a gleam in White's eyes, and he knew what it was.

"The three little ones are hungry," Cuaron said, his smile transforming into a grinning skull in the turquoise light. "You're out of luck."

The plank of the boat slid onto the black sand.The undead began to come ashore.A woman is pulling a little girl by the hand.

A pair of old man and old lady staggered forward supporting each other. The two old men probably did not die together. One of them must have waited for a long time on the shore before they boarded the boat together.

One year in the underworld, one day in the human world, it must be a very long wait.

"I wish you all good luck." Caron said, "But when you go down to such a deep place, such a thing as good luck doesn't exist anymore, but don't forget to help me raise my salary."

In fact, Cuaron couldn't be sure whether the three people really knew that person, but he also couldn't be sure that the three people didn't know each other.

It would be no loss for him if he didn't know each other. If he really knew each other, he would be wise to protect himself by cooperating.

White handed him the gold coin in his hand.

And he weighed it, and then propped up the boat to cross back to the river, and sang an ancient song with vibrato.

"I didn't expect Lord Timerlin's name to be so useful." Hughes said with emotion.

"As the most mysterious existence in the magic world, he has too many secrets." White murmured softly, "However, I was also very surprised."

Although the magic world is very powerful in the human world, it is absolutely useless in the underworld, because even if they know magic, they still cannot escape the category of "human beings".

But Hades is different, it is real, the realm of God.

It's completely a gap between heaven and earth.

They just had the attitude of giving it a try, but unexpectedly, it really succeeded.

"How do you know that his salary is not high?" White asked curiously.

"He's the most greedy person I've ever met," Dina said.

He shrugged irresolutely.

"Where should we find it now?" Hughes asked, "The underworld is so huge."

"Last night I talked with Professor Abs." White said, "In Hades, there is a place called the archives, which stores all the souls in Hades, including the materials of gods."

Hughes nodded, "Then I understand."

"Let's go." Dina said from the side.

They followed the undead and boarded this ancient path.

White wasn't sure what he was expecting to see—a pearly gate, or a giant iron gate, or something else.

But in fact, the entrance to the underworld is very ordinary, just a huge black arch with the words (you are going to the dark world).

The Dark Realm is also known as Erebus, one of the ancient gods in Greek mythology, and this name is also used to refer to his residence.

The place where he lives is between the underworld and the earth. It is said that people must pass through this place to reach the underworld after death.

There are quite a few ghouls in charge at the archway, and they wear black robes, like Karon.

The howling of the hungry animal became louder and louder, but they didn't know where the source of the sound was.

"Where are these people going?" Hughes asked.

"Go to the land of periwinkle, and then wait there to experience the trial." White said calmly.

Abs had a Reaper friend from whom he learned a lot, and he told White all this knowledge.

"In order to improve efficiency, the trial court also reformed the trial process. Some people can choose not to go through the trial, but the price is to stay in the land of periwinkle forever.

For those who consider themselves guilty, that is their best punishment. "

"Why?" Dina asked curiously.

"Imagine standing in a wheat field surrounded by people and nothing, forever."

"That's bad enough."

"That's the real thing," White murmured. "Look."

A black-robed ghoul pushed an undead aside.

"Who is that?" Dina asked.

"The really heinous people." White said, "That is a special punishment from the god of death. The real bad guys will receive special care once they arrive here. The Furies will set up an eternal criminal law just for them."

Eternity is a wonderful thing, but it's not the same if you add two punishments after it.

Even though they didn't know what the punishment was, they all shuddered slightly when they heard the word eternity.

As they got closer to the gate, the howling grew louder.So much so that the ground under his feet felt the vibration.

Then, about tens of meters away from them, there was a turquoise light shining, and at the door, there was a huge and shadowy monster standing quietly.

They didn't see it before because it was translucent like those undead.

When not moving, the whole monster merged with the background behind it, only its eyes and teeth seemed solid, and those eyes were looking straight to this side.

The three of them stood in a stalemate, not daring to move.

The dog looks like an oversized Rottweiler (a short-haired dog from Germany that is robust and alert, and is often used as a police or military dog.)
There is no doubt that this monster is Cerberus.

In the past, he guarded the gate of the underworld for Hades, the king of the underworld.Cerberus allowed the souls of every dead person to enter the underworld, but would not let anyone out (and neither would the living).

Therefore, in Greek mythology and Roman mythology, only a few people survived from the underworld.

White used to always imagine Cerberus as a huge black mastiff, but now it is more like a Rottweiler, except that it is twice the size of a woolly mammoth, and even with its heavy breathing, The body is also gradually materialized,

Of course, the most important thing is that it has three heads.

The undead passed under its belly one by one, without bowing their heads when they walked by.

"It seems to be gradually materializing." Hughes said, "Why?"

"Maybe it's because we are approaching death." White murmured softly.

The head in the middle of the Cerberus raised its head towards them and began to growl.

White hurriedly pulled the three of them to hide behind a huge rock.

"It can smell the breath of living people." White said with a serious face.

The roar of the giant beast came from not far away, and even started to bark, the sound was so loud that the earth trembled.

"Can you understand its cry?" Hughes asked.

All druid magicians can understand animal language.

"I can't find a human swear word that accurately summarizes its meaning," White said.

"I didn't know that the dog world has such a huge vocabulary," Dina said.

"It's just that there are many specific words." White replied, "especially swear words."

"I see." Hughes murmured softly, "It looks very angry."

"What should we do now?" Dina asked urgently.

White hurriedly placed the box in his hand on the ground, and began to search for it in a panic, murmuring in a low voice while searching.

"In mythology, not many people escape from hellhounds.

Orpheus, one of the heroes of the Argonauts, entered the underworld in order to bring his dead wife Eurydike back from the underworld. get out of hell
When the Trojan hero Aeneas went to the underworld to know his own destiny, Sibylla of Cymae (a prophetess) tricked Cerberus into eating cakes containing hypnotic herbs and made him fall asleep.

But the most famous is Hercules, who took Cerberus out of the underworld by the order of Eurystheus, and later released him by the order of Eurystheus.Capturing Cerberus alive was one of Hercules' twelve feats.

In addition, Hermes, one of the twelve main gods of Olympus, used the water of the River Styx to put Cerberus to sleep; in a famous story about Eros, Eros' lover, Psyche also used Bread containing hypnotics put Cerberus to sleep (Apuleius,

The three-headed dog Cerberus often caused three heads to scramble for a piece of food - the last thing Psyche completed in order to meet her husband Cupid, the goddess Aphrodite, was to use a piece of bread To divert Cerberus' attention. "

White raised his hand and found a bag of bread in the box, which was made by his Muggle friend Hansen. (end of this chapter)
