Greek Mythology: Lord of the Underworld

Chapter 30 030, Ferryman to the Underworld
"What's wrong? Young man, don't you recognize me? I was the one who took you across the shore last time."

Charon smiled and said to Hades.

Hades seemed to have expected the other party's words, and nodded calmly, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, do you want to cross the river?"

Charon repeated the topic again, and the meaning was already obvious, "Give me money."

Hestia, Demeter, and Hera were immediately in a dilemma. They had just been born, where did they get the gold coins, so they had to look at Hades expectantly.

And Hades also succeeded in living up to expectations. He rubbed his fingers, and more than a dozen purple gold coins collided with each other, making a crisp and sweet sound, and fell into Charon's outstretched hands, making his eyes light up.

Hades retracted his hand: "These gold coins are enough to pay for the ship."

"That's enough!"

Charon's eyes shone and he said with great excitement: "Dear Sir, you are so generous. I really want to give you my knee now!"

He looked solemn: "Your respectful and generous Highness, please forgive me for being unreasonable just now. I haven't asked for your name yet?"

"Hades."

"Hades?!"

Charon was startled, then knelt down on the ground with a "pop" sound. He quickly took out the gold coins he had just received, held them with both hands, and said in a very respectful tone: "Dear Pluto, please forgive me for being rude again. I really deserve to die. Dare you ask Pluto for gold coins?! Please take back the gold coins!"

"Dear Pluto, there is no charge for crossing the river! It is my honor to send you across the river, including your companions!"

Hestia looked at this scene with her cute big eyes and tilted her head. She was thinking, if anything happens in the underworld in the future, just report the name of Hades?
Hades looked indifferent and calmly boarded the ship: "Take it, it's what you deserve for your hard work."

This is not an ordinary gold coin, but a condensed form of the divine power of the underworld. One represents the divine power that ordinary underworld creatures need to practice for a year to obtain. It is extremely precious.

However, although Hades had just been born not long ago, the loss of these gold coins was very small to him, not worth mentioning at all, and he was in the underworld, so he quickly made up for it.

"Thank you again for your generosity, my king, dear Hades!"

Charon stood up and saluted Hades, who was already on the boat, with great respect. Then he turned to look at the three women and said with a smile: "Three beautiful and kind ladies, please get on the boat!"

Hestia, Demeter, and Hera nodded. They looked at Charon, who seemed to be a different person. They felt the kindness and respect that didn't exist just now. They knew that this was not because of themselves, but because of their brother. Hades.

"Dear His Highness Pluto, and three beautiful ladies, sit tight and let's sail the ship!"

Following this shouting reminder, the black boat, under the control of the boatman, slowly sailed on the River of Pain, slowly approaching the other side.

During the time when the ship docked, the gentle and mature Demeter and the cold and arrogant Hera did not attract anyone's attention and could still stay. Only the eldest sister Hestia, although she was the eldest sister, did not live there. But she looks like a lolita, and she doesn't think like a big sister, she is very out of touch.

I got a little bored on the boat, looking around with my big dark eyes. Suddenly I saw that the river was interesting, and I couldn't help but reach out and want to play in the water.

Hades spoke slowly at this moment: "Hestia, this is the river of pain, the end of all pain in the world of Chaos. Thousands of evil spirits are bred in it. Be careful to pull you in."

Hestia retracted her little hand with a "swish" and was successfully frightened by Hades.

Demeter also took the opportunity to rub the little head of her eldest sister Loli.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness Pluto, was sent here."

After the ship docked, Hades, Hestia, Demeter and Hera disembarked and continued walking towards the depths of the underworld. After their figures completely disappeared, Charon withdrew his gaze.

The next moment, a voice sounded next to him: "He didn't notice you, did he?"

"No."

Charon shook his head.

On the black boat, there is an extra god in black robes. He is male. You can tell by his voice.

"That's good, Charon, you did well."

The black-robed god nodded: "I will make arrangements personally..."

After crossing the river of pain, Hades led the three women to continue walking on the underworld.

As they walked, many negative emotions came one after another, covering the four of them.

Pain, hesitation, death, and terror were a series of negative emotions lingering in the hearts of several people, and the surrounding atmosphere became increasingly silent.

I feel an inexplicable burden on my shoulders, and every step I take is extremely difficult and painful.

As time went by, the three girls besides Hades, Demeter, Hestia, and Hera, gradually felt despair, and their pretty and bright little faces became numb and lifeless.

As Hades, the king of Hades who was born from the will of the underworld, these will and emotions could not affect him, but he did not notice anything strange about the three sisters following him, and still walked forward without saying a word.

There is no concept of time in the underworld. I don't know how long and how far I have walked. Hades can no longer remember it. It was not until the voices of the three sisters came from behind that he came back to his senses and looked back.

"Demeter, I can't walk anymore. I'm so tired. Can we still go out?"

Hestia was like a deflated ball, sitting on the ground with a look of frustration and fatigue on her face.

At this moment, Demeter did not take advantage of the eldest sister and rub her head. Instead, she covered her heavy chest with a wry smile on her gentle face: "Hestia, I can't walk anymore. I really can't." To think that one day I will decide to give up just like you."

Hera's beautiful eyes were blank: "Hestia, Demeter, two dear sisters, I have never called you this, but the situation is different now. We are really going to die. This is the underworld, the end of all things, we It’s impossible to get out of here alive, never possible…”

Speaking of this, Hera, who had always been cold and arrogant, actually had a hint of crying in her voice at this moment. She ignored the etiquette and fell down on the underworld like Hestia. Her eyes were full of despair and helplessness, and her eyes were red.

Hades frowned slightly. Although he didn't feel anything unusual around him, the situation of the three sisters was already telling the truth!

He noticed that there were faint red flower particles floating around Hestia, Demeter, and Hera, and that the power from the underworld was surrounding them, and despair filled them.

Shrouded in despair, their emotions have collapsed!

"Two dear sisters, your sister, I can't hold on anymore, I really want to sleep here..."

Hera's weak voice came, and she was already leaning on the ground.

Then came Hestia: "Me too, Hera, we can't get out..."

"It would be nice to die in such pain."

Demeter was also about to give up at this moment, and lay on the ground with her eyes blank.
