27. Leave the underworld
He had never seen Pearl again after Thetis's wedding, which had been three hundred years earlier. Dio didn't have the heart to chat with her, and his voice carried a hint of eagerness: "It's been a long time, where is Hades?" ”
Pearl raised an eyebrow, "Him?" Sleep in there, Dionysus, what did you want to do here? ”
Dio didn't speak, he went straight inside, Pearl's eyes were cold, and he drove the palace gate with divine power, and a rumbling sound sounded, the palace gate fell rapidly, and Dio was instantly blocked out.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned around angrily, "Persephone, what do you mean by that?" ”
Pearl took a few steps forward and stood in front of him, the smile on his face disappearing, "As you can see, Dionysus. You trespassed into the underworld, you must not be a guest, right? What do you want to do and what are you looking for? I sue you, impossible! No matter what you do, I will never let you succeed, Dionysus, this is the underworld, not your human world, do you think you can still do whatever you want? Get out! You don't know what the sky is! ”
Dio's eyes widened, and his anger grew, no one had ever spoken to him like this, not to mention that Dio was already in a hurry, and Persephone was undoubtedly completely angry with him.
Pearl looked at him fearlessly, but he was thinking about the time.
The god of sleep had given her a water lily, and now that Hades had drunk the water lily tea, she would never wake up in five hours, and she had dismissed the idea of a peaceful settlement with Dionysus, as long as he ordered it...... The underworld can be chaotic.
Pearl pursed her lips, even if she treats the undead, she will never be so arrogant, but there is no way, she must provoke him to achieve her goal.
The chaos in the underworld didn't do her any good, and Hades woke up to find that his wife had made it happen. How angry Hades will be, Pearl can't imagine, but when he thinks of how angry and heartbroken he will be, I don't know why, Pearl actually has the pleasure of revenge, and can't wait to laugh to show his happiness.
And Dionysus, who was in front of him, was looking at her angrily.
Without hiding his affection at all, Pearl hooked the corners of his lips and smiled openly, this smile was not good-looking, in Dio's eyes, it was full of provocation and dazzling, Dior sneered: "Well, in that case, I don't have to take care of you husband and wife." ”
Dior staggered by, Pearl didn't want to look back, for a long time, driving the palace door again, Pearl walked in slowly, turned the first staircase, Pearl sat at the corner of the stairs, closed his eyes in silence.
What a couple, how can there be a husband and wife here.
Seeing the figure pass by again, the siren stared blankly in that direction, Achilles looked at the siren and couldn't help but sigh. The black poplar followed the siren's gaze, then lowered his eyes silently.
Dionysian returned to the banks of the River of Pain, but the boatman Charon did not know where he had gone, and when the people saw Bacchus returning, they all stopped talking and turned to look at him, and Dio curled the corners of his mouth, and his voice was full of agitation and magic: "Come in, make a big fuss, and scatter your spirit to the last land, the underworld!" ”
The cacophony of cheers shook the earth, and the people rushed in excitedly, and the moment they entered, everyone's bodies collapsed outside the door, but they didn't even look back, as if they didn't care that they were dead.
The Bacchus staff waved over, and a bridge made of vines was erected over the river that had turned into wine, dense and solid, and the Dionysian believers who had become undead jumped on the bridge, or shouted wildly, or laughed sharply, and the undead who were already in the underworld could not stand this sound, and covered their ears and wailed in grief.
Watching his followers rush to every corner of the underworld, the smile on Dio's face disappeared, he flew to the highest place, looking down at this piece of land, when his eyes swept over a piece of white, he looked over there, a tree and a person looked very eye-catching, and when he looked closely, Dio frowned deeply.
Achilles, isn't he a god? Why is it here?
Achilles was also looking at him, God could see something far away, the two looked at each other, Achilles smiled and nodded, Dio ignored him, and flew straight to his destination, the Elysée Garden.
He didn't think that Ampulos would be exiled to hell, so he had to go to Elysée Paradise.
The siren was wrapped in a black poplar tree, and for a long time, the black poplar felt the footsteps of the god of wine fall on the Elysée, and then spread the branches and leaves, and then patted the siren's head: "Hurry up, hurry up, go!" He won't be coming over yet! ”
Siren's eyes widened and he looked at the black poplar in astonishment, and the black poplar froze for a moment, turned his head as usual, and closed his eyes away from her.
Achilles is also urging her: "Laughter, dancing and singing, there are already them!" Siren, let's go! ”
Pulled out step by step by Achilles, the siren's eyes kept staring at the black poplar tree that did not want to look at her, and just as he was about to step out of the garden, the siren broke away from Achilles' hand, was silent for a while, and said to the black poplar: "You are a sacred tree in the underworld, and it is very sacred in itself, so there is no tree spirit, in a few decades, you will grow your own legs, and then Pearl will release you, because you belong to me, not Hades, I will calculate the time and wait for you at the gate of the underworld." Drink water well, speak smartly, and no one will take care of you when I'm away. ”
The poplar tree trembled, and the leaves rustled, and he thought that the siren would not come back after he was gone, and that he would never see her again, because she had also planned for herself.
Twitching his nose, the black poplar still didn't turn his head, and his voice was a little nasal, "Got it!" Don't go yet! ”
The siren looked at him helplessly, and Achilles saw this and pulled her out of the house. The black poplar tree has lived for more than a hundred years, and he senses the siren's footsteps every day, and he can accurately judge where the siren is without closing his eyes, her steps are vain and staggering, and the black poplar snorts fiercely.
Hum! I'll settle accounts with you when I have feet!
On the way, he met several Dionysian believers, Achilles took off his cloak and draped the siren, covering her face tightly, and an undead wanted to check it, but he was also punched away by Achilles.
Panting breathlessly, he came to the gate of the underworld, and there was no one here at this time. The siren's footsteps stopped, she turned around, the noise and crying of the underworld behind her coexisted, some people cried, some people laughed, there was no order in the underworld, and the gods of death were also rushing back to the underworld one after another, and a god of death glanced at the siren in surprise when he passed through the gate, but he didn't say anything, and quickly rushed to the most important places, Elysée Paradise and Tartarus Hell.
Achilles frowned and looked at the siren, not understanding why she was looking at the door in a daze, "Siren, get out, get out quickly." ”
The siren still didn't move, she didn't know how many times she had been here in two hundred years, at first ramming and screaming at the invisible barrier that had been set up for her alone, then by luck, and then by ...... She never came again.
Just like the first time she came out of the sea, the siren was afraid of this gate, she was afraid that she still couldn't get out, obviously her life was blocked, what if she still couldn't get out.
Achilles was stunned for a moment, then understood what the siren was thinking, and a light smile appeared on his lips, and he called her, "Siren." ”
When the siren heard this, he just wanted to turn back, a warm palm pressed against her back, and he pressed lightly, but the siren was still stunned, but he stumbled, and the siren was already standing outside the gate, turning around in astonishment, looking at Achilles who was still in the gate.
Achilles whispered, "Let's go, see you later." ”
Achilles was also free, he could also leave, but he was still standing inside, and the sirens understood what he wanted to do, but said nothing.
The last period of companionship and care was more precious than the friendship of a thousand years of acquaintance, and the siren's eyes turned red, and she returned to the gate, and put her hands around the great hero of the Greeks, who was also her great hero.
whispered in his ear: "Thank you." ”
The siren turned and staggered out. Achilles' smile was like a spring breeze, no one would associate him with the executioner who was determined to kill now, watching the siren disappear from view, Achilles also slowly returned to the underworld, looking at the undead who were making a fuss in front of him, and a trace of bloodlust flashed in his eyes.
It's not just to clean up the mess, but also to make himself active, and he still likes to be a warrior compared to God.
Only a few dozen meters away from the gate of the underworld, there are trees like black poplars everywhere, this is the legendary dark forest, the siren has never been here, so she didn't expect the sun here to be so scorching, but the air is still the same cold. A man who had never seen a bright light in two hundred years, the siren felt more and more uncomfortable, as if the air had been withdrawn, and the vision in front of her became spinning, and her head became heavier and heavier, and after not taking a few steps, the siren fell headlong.
A pair of warm, dry hands caught the siren, but she didn't have time to look at the man, and she fainted as she deservedly. Hermes was helpless, and picked her up as before, and the sirens were much more now than then, but much lighter.
He didn't have time to feel distressed, he glanced at the gate of the underworld deep in the forest, and immediately flew into the sky, heading towards Mount Olympus.
Dior was still looking for Amplos everywhere, but the Elysée Paradise was turned upside down by him, and there was still no sign of Amplos, and all the undead looked at him in surprise and fear, Dio frowned deeply, how could it not be, could it be ...... Hell in Tartaros?
Tartarus, who rushed out of the Elysée and flew to beside it, walked in, despite extreme disbelief. Then he saw Charon and Death staring at him with a wary face.
"Bacchus, this is not a place for you to be presumptuous, please go out."
Behind them were countless stone pillars, bound with the spirits of the most sinful dead, and under their feet burned the fire of the Vulcan craftsman, enduring the pain of the scorching, and interspersed among them were a dozen iron cages of various sizes, each holding one person, and only one person, and two golden ropes strung behind their backs, like marionettes, carrying them.
