Chapter 24: The Palace of the Underworld
"Well, it's a little difficult!" the black figure's tone was full of embarrassment. "The Duke has just given an order that no one is allowed to enter the palace of the Underworld. According to the rules, you will not be able to enter until I die, but if I die, you will not be able to open the door of the palace of the Underworld, let alone go inside. ”
"Demon City, you are really confused! The Duke you are talking about cannot be the son of the Lord of Hades. We now suspect that he was acting in the name of the son of the Underworld. Don't be obsessed, get out of the way, let's go inside, grab the guy, and check the situation. ”
"I really can't do this!" the black figure hesitated. "And the Duke has already left the palace of the Lord of Hades, and there is no point in you entering it now. ”
"We need to go in not only to make sure this guy is a swindler, but more importantly, we need to make sure that the Lord of the Dead has left any information for us. "Mr. Hat feels a little hot, but the magic city is so stubborn. You can't do anything about him yet.
"Babble!" Dumb spoke at this time, and the black humanoid listened to this ancient magic sentence and prostrated on the ground.
"The villain obeys!" After saying this, the black figure stood up, and even said something in the ancient magic text of "babbling".
After a while, the black figure lay on the ground in pain, and a white figure crawled out of his back.
"It turns out that I can't speak well, and it only works if the new Hades Lord speaks, it's really too powerful!" Mr. Hat couldn't help but complain.
The white figure crawled out and knelt in front of Dumb, babbling and saying something.
After listening to her, Dumb responded with two words, and then the white and black figures danced a strange dance together. Jumping and jumping, the black figure vanished. The white figure pulled Dumb, Dumb stretched out his hand to lead Anne, and everyone held hands in turn and walked forward.
At this time, the space inexplicably changed, and a circular passage appeared out of thin air. In front of the passage was the large palace complex where the fluffy heads had been before. Dumb led everyone into this space together.
"This place doesn't even seem to have the same air! That old fellow of the Underworld is really greedy for pleasure, and he is so particular about the place where he lives. Looking at the dense flowers and plants around him, as well as those exquisite buildings, Mr. Hat couldn't help but sigh. "But what's the matter with the faint smell of blood in the air?
After a while, Mr. Hat's voice was full of disdain, and he said, "It turns out that some unsightly bloody deeds have been done, no wonder the air smells so bad." ”
The group walked through the square in front of the palace and towards the inside of the palace.
In the distance, a person who looked like a fluffy head stood on the steps of the palace, looking at the dumb and his group.
"Sure enough, as I thought, you are not ordinary people, and you can enter the palace of the underworld with your ability. And the angels from all the hells guarding the hell also came, and it was really a powerful battle. It's not in vain that I'm waiting for you here!" The puffy head looked proud, as if everything was under his control.
"Meow!" the mighty cat saw its fluffy head, its eyes were on fire, and its voice was full of hostility. But despite this, the mighty cat still didn't rush forward, as if waiting for something.
"I thought it would be someone who called himself the son of the Underworld, but it turned out to be you. Okay, you are also quite capable, pretending to be the son of the Hades Lord, you can actually deceive the gatekeeper of the Hades Lord's palace. Mr. Hat is not at all inferior to the other party in the momentum of pretending to be the boss, and his tone is full of contempt.
"Don't talk nonsense, I've never pretended to be the son of the Underworld, because I am, and I don't need to pretend at all. "Fluffy Head speaks so confidently that it's hard to believe he's lying.
"Don't talk nonsense with me. It's not that I don't know the underworld. His kind of realm can be said to be close to God, and he doesn't need any son or anything like that to be a burden to himself. A scum like you, who plays intrigues and deceives people all day long and has no real skills, is embarrassed to say that he is the son of the underworld. The Lord of the Dead is crazy and wants a son like you who has ruined his reputation!" Mr. Hat ruined his fluffy head worthless.
Fluffy Tou turned blue with anger, and sneered twice: "You are embarrassed to say that others are waste." You also look down on people less. Until now, the world is still in my hands. The elven army under my command is ready for the human world, and can rearrange the order of this world at any time. If it weren't for the fact that there are so many of you today, I would have taken care of you here today. I'm not going to talk to you, I'm leaving!" the fluffy head finished speaking, and turned to leave.
In the ranks on the angel's side, a flame flew out, and the fluffy head was instantly burned.
"It's a Seraph, it's so ruthless!" Fluffy turned his head and smiled grimly. "But you can't imagine it, I've long since left this place. You wait for me, and one day we will meet again. When that time comes, I will have you people bow down at my feet. The fluffy head finished speaking, turned to ashes, and vanished.
"It turned out to be a doppelganger! I didn't have the guts to meet us in person, so I knew that I was doing this kind of trick. Mr. Hat said dismissively.
"What are we going to do next, Boss Hat, are we going to the palace?" asked an angel who looked strong, and his voice was loud.
"Angel of Force, don't get excited. The enemy should already be gone. There's no need to be so murderous. Then let's go inside, but I've heard that the palace of the Immortal is alive like the Demon City. This white human form is the body of the Hades Palace. She can split into multiple clones and do things for the Underworld. We're here now, and we need to listen to her more, or it will be too rude. Mr. Hat calmed the angels and put the decision in the hands of the white humanoid.
But it was clear that Mr. Hat's idea was a dilemma for the white figure. I saw her kneeling in front of Dumb, as if waiting for an order.
"Babble!" Dumb said something, and the white figure stood up. A door flashed from behind her.
"It's about to begin! Mr. Hat's tone was a little excited, and the white figure opened the door behind him before disappearing. Behind the door is the study, surrounded by a collection of books. There was a small table in the middle, and there were many notes piled on top of it.
"Dumb, you're too ruthless! Go directly to the place where the Lord of the Underworld hides books to find clues. Can you wait a minute, everyone?" Mr. Hat saw that everyone was about to go in together, and stopped everyone with a word.
"You holy angels and two dragon knights, as well as kittens and three-headed dogs, don't enter this place. Anne, you can come in with us. Trouble guys waiting outside, don't worry. Looking for the clues left by the Underworld, the three of us are enough. ”
The group obeyed Mr. Hat's arrangement. Anne followed Dumb into the Lord's study, and then the door to the study was consciously closed.
"Dumb, you really didn't think about it just now. The Lord's collection of books and notes is not to be seen by too many people. No matter how many secrets are recorded in it, revealing even the slightest bit can cause huge trouble. Mr. Hat explained why he didn't let the group in.
"Mr. Hat, does the Lord of the Underworld really have a message left?" Anne couldn't understand how Mr. Hat and the others were so confident in predicting the future and judging the situation.
"Of course we don't know, but when we come into this place, we get a lot of information that we can't get from the outside. Mr. Hat cheekily explained.
"But speaking of which, the Lord of the Underworld is really studious, and he has hidden so many books in this place. Anne looked at the room full of books and couldn't help but sigh.
"You're getting one thing wrong. There is only one author in this room, and that is the Lord of Hades himself. Mr. Hat explained to Anne.
"That Hades Lord is terrible, isn't it? "Anne couldn't imagine what kind of knowledge it took to be able to write so many books.
"It's okay! The ability of the Underworld Lord is not lost to the old one, and it is not surprising that he can write so many books. But I'm really curious about what the Immortal Lord has been studying all these years!" Mr. Hat's tone was tickled, full of curiosity.
Dumb fulfilled his wish at this time and took a random book from the wall. Looking at the words inside, Mr. Hat was dumbfounded.
"Well, the Lord of Hades must have known early on that someone else would read what he wrote. So he deliberately used ancient magic scripts to record his thoughts. "Mr. Hat is a little unhappy, the ancient magic text is full of symbols that ghosts can't understand, maybe only Dumb can understand, what are the books here talking about.
"Mr. Hat, why do I feel like I understand this book?" Anne glanced at the book in Dumb's hand, and unconsciously read it.
"The book seems to be talking about some things about the Twelve Stars. It seems to have something to do with the fact that I have been using magic cards for divination since I was a child. Anne looked at it, and unconsciously said, "The star fell from the sky and destroyed half of it." The other half was picked up by a young man and brought home. The other stars wanted to help her, but helplessly, the boundary could not be crossed at will. What does this all mean, it feels weird. Anne muttered to herself.
"It's really amazing that you can understand this part of the book. Ancient Magic is a strange language that selectively makes the audience understand what it is saying. Maybe the language itself is alive!" Mr. Hat explained, as the dumb dragon suddenly ran out and pointed at the books on the wall.
