Chapter 623: Caron, the Ferryman
Theoretically, only the ferryman can take people across the river, but there are no absolutes in the world, everything has two sides, and there is no such thing as an absolute.
The Sea Emperor has been holding back for so many years, and now it is his time for glory, and his subordinates quickly built a huge ship that is thousands of meters long and 100 meters wide, ready to beckon everyone to cross.
Thea pulled a group of people to get on the boat, and the Flash, who was very full of scientific exploration, also wanted to study the composition of the water of the River Styx, but fortunately, the eldest lady quickly dragged him onto the boat.
Everyone began to board the boat one after another, and at this moment, several gods noticed a small boat rowing in the distance.
Thea was directly happy, and the gods and demigods who knew the inner story of the Styx also looked gloating.
Naturally, it was Caron, the ferryman of the River Styx, who came with a small boat, Hades had contracted the river to him, and he paid a certain amount of money every year to bear his own profits and losses, and today he felt that a large number of creatures had entered the River Styx, so he naturally came to take a look.
Halfway through, he knew that it was bad, the divine power of the gods was not covered at all, so many gods, Ming Huanghuang was holding a sword, and he must not have come to comfort him, a lonely old man
The duty is, he can't turn back, the old man looks thin and withered, with a pair of triangular eyes, how obscene and obscene, in fact, he is very high, and he is also a god!
Thea watched the old man rowing slowly in front of the gods, and sighed a little in her heart, Caron, the ferryman of the Styx, was a warrior trash in her impression, but in this world this thing is not so simple, he is the son of Nix, the goddess of the night of creation, and the same generation as the three goddesses of fate.
It's a pity that his time has long passed, or it has not come at all, in the face of powerful divine power, he has to bow his head even if he is high, he can wag his tail and beg for mercy to the junior Hades, and naturally he does not dare to anger Poseidon and Hera.
Thea was the new god to the Greek gods, and Hera was also a substitute for the descendants of the creator god, pushing down wave after wave, which is why the gods were afraid of the future.
Seeing that the boat was rowing closer, who was going to deal with it? The gods were making eye contact with each other.
Thea, who originally wanted to be a wall-to-wall watcher, felt a slight tremor in the thread of fate, and did a lot of experiments in private, but now she can barely take advantage of the little function of this thread, that is, if she obeys the arrangement of fate, then the thread will fit closely with her hair.
If she wants to do something that fate has not planned, then the silk thread will be abruptly warped, very typical reverse growth, fortunately now the fate of the silk thread has a little connection with her, and is slowly accepting her, even if the level is much higher than her, she can't see this hair that suddenly stands up.
In Caron's case, fate gave her two choices, one was to go with the flow and watch the excitement, and the other was to get involved.
The vein of the world has its own inertia, and it is too difficult to swim against the current in the long river of fate, but if you want to get rid of the shackles of fate and go to a higher position than the Father and Darkseid, then you can't follow the established route of fate.
Starting from the subtleties, getting rid of fate little by little, the general trend remains the same, and the small changes are the current policy of Thea.
"I'll deal with this guy. She asked Ying directly to negotiate with Caron, who came in a small boat.
When the gods saw that someone came forward, they naturally would not object, and Thea jumped directly into the boat.
It's really obscene to look at the thin and withered old man in front of him, with a pair of dim triangular eyes, a thief's eyes, and he collects money from every person who crosses the river, he can be said to be a rare rich man in the Three Realms, but he is dressed in tatters, like a waste picker.
She looked at each other, and Caron was looking at her as well.
Today's Thea is going to participate in the Greek God War, so she changed into the silver and blue skirt armor created by Zeus, in order to match Diana's red cloak, she asked Aramani to sew a thick blue cloak, and the golden fleece she got before was not wasted, and she sewed a circle along the welt around the collar of the cloak.
Wrapped in a thick cloak and holding a holy sword, it is really a majestic one, although Diana can't understand why her lover calls the cloak a quilt?
"Are you going to pay the toll?" asked Caron, daringly, especially as he saw Hercules sharpening his axe in the distance. In his opinion, this is to cope with the errand, and he is going to go through the procedure, but the other party says he doesn't want to, so he will go home and rest, as for whether Hades dies or not, it's his business.
Caron was already preparing to go back with the boat, but he didn't expect Thea to stay where he was with a light word.
"How much do we pay?"
Cold sweat came out as soon as he brushed it, Caron hated these guys who didn't play cards according to common sense, you are such a mighty army, shouldn't you bully me a lonely old family and drive away without birds? What are you talking to me blindly!
What Poseidon Herahades, you can fight casually, kill one less and one less, Boss Caron is a handful of years old, and now he just wants to avoid trouble, his dim old eyes began to turn blindly, wondering how to prevaricate Thea.
"Yo, the price is clearly marked, old man, you are quite service-minded. He was pretending to be stupid, and Thea didn't let him go, and the eldest lady had a gleam of wealth in her eyes. Curious, he pulled out a sign from under the ship's plank, which was not gold, silver, or copper.
She also knew the words, which were ancient Greek, and she immediately read them out: "Ten mortals, ten demigods, and one million gods!
Next, in the old man's horrified eyes, Thea used her wealth divine power to convert an astronomical amount of dark coins and handed it to Karon, which was really not small, enough to use up one-fifth of her divine power.
The mountain of dark coins was handed over to Caron, and if so much money had been left in the past, this obscene old fellow would have jumped up with excitement, but now he would not think so.
The Old God had to follow the rules, even if the river crossing was added by himself and was part of the rules, he had to admit it!
Cuarón accepted the river crossing fee with a bitter face, Thea's face was a little pale, and she stared at Cuarón with a smile, if she wanted to make her money, she needed to be prepared to lose all her pants.
Thea paid according to the regulations, then it means that the transaction between the two sides has begun, and he must send the gang across the river according to his own rules.
"Won't you be able to cross the river yourself? Why do you want to pull me? I don't have any fighting power!" the old man cried out, and couldn't help it, and began to babble and complain to Thea.
His rules are very clear to "lead people across the river", although Poseidon now has a huge boat, but in order to embody the word "belt", he must row a small boat in front of the road, from a distance it looks like the leading party, with his ass to think that it is good if Poseidon wins, if Hades wins, it is worth playing with the future of his leading party.
Others have gone astray and mistakenly got on the thief ship, but it is good for him to directly join the enemy and become the leading party, and this kind of person is the worst ruler in all dynasties.
