26. Respond to every call

Placing Ampulos on the bed in the castle, staring at his bloodless lips, rubbing slightly, Dio was silent for a moment, then turned away.

Walking out of the castle gates, the people who had been leisurely and merrily stood in the square in front of him and watched him, and Hermes stood aside, silent.

Bacchus slowly surveyed the crowd in front of him, then raised his arm, and the originally empty palm conjured into a dark green cane, and the huge purple-red diamond at the top showed its edge, and the sharp tip was not hidden in the sunlight.

Suddenly, the Bacchus Scepter reflected a light greater than the sun, and no one dared to look directly at the Dionysian Staff, and Hermes could not accept such a dazzling light, but the humans in front of him cheered loudly when the light appeared.

It was really loud, already a shrill cheer, and Hermes felt his ears swelling and had to frown, at which point Dio turned around and asked Hermes, "Where is the entrance to the underworld?" ”

Hermes looked at him silently, then at the fanatical people behind him, "Dionysus, they are human. ”

"I know. Where is the entrance to the underworld? ”

The fact that humans enter the underworld and turn into undead spirits and never get out again is not a little secret between the gods, but something that the whole world knows, the Dionysian knows, and those people know.

The humans behind him saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and even shouted loudly, urging him to answer quickly. Hermes looked at the loudest man, hooked the corners of his lips, and then said to Dio, "In Erepos, through the dark forest there, you can see the gate of the underworld, there will be a bearded boatman to stop you, don't fight him, although he looks very inconspicuous, but since Hades sent him there to guard the gate, there must be something unusual about him." Cross the River of Pain, pass the Persephone Gardens, and walk all the way through the Fields of Truth, where you can see the palace of the underworld, and next to it are the Elysée Paradise and the Tartarus Hell, where the spirits of the dead are located. ”

This area is the realm of the god Pan, there are forests everywhere, and Erepos is also a forest, also known as the Dark Forest, and the distance from Peroka is not far, even if it is a human, it can be reached in a few hours.

Noting what Hermes said, Dionysus turned to leave, and Hermes stopped him again.

After a pause, Hermes looked at Dio's back and said, "Even if you go, you may not be able to bring him back." I hope you will forget about that person after this effort. ”

There is no encouragement of success, only the comfort of failure. Dio paused and looked ahead, "I won't forget, and I won't leave him there." ”

Seeing him and the people leave, Hermes lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, there was no one in the palace anymore, and he didn't use his divine wings, but walked out step by step. As he was about to get out of Peroca, the river suddenly fluctuated irregularly, and Hermes smiled at the river, as if to signal to someone, two pairs of wings appeared on his heels, and he flew up to the sky with a tap on the ground.

Dionysus responded, and as he and his followers walked towards Erepos, more and more people joined their side, not knowing where they were going, they only followed the steps of Dionysus.

Coming to Erepos, walking through the vast black forest, where a single dull color is enough to make everyone who has hope gloomy, but the people behind them seem to be unaffected, they have been singing loudly, driving away the panic caused by the dark forest, dancing with wide opening and closing, and resisting the cold that is sinking deeper and deeper into the bones.

Hearing movement in the distance, Charon rocked the boat back to the opposite shore, and there were a few undead waiting to cross the river on the shore, and he didn't bother to pay attention, listening to the song getting closer and closer, Charon's brow became more and more furrowed.

Except for the occasional siren, who sang songs, there had never been such a cheerful singing in the underworld, and the undead also raised their heads, their empty eyes following the source of the song. Persephone looked at the sleeping Hades, although in the depths of the underworld, she also heard it, and smiled silently, Pearl walked to his closet, stroking the gorgeous clothes, all of them dark colors.

Fingers stopped on a dark blue dress, Pearl smiled with satisfaction, the guests are here, dress up.

Siren and Achilles stood together, noisy, chaotic, and high-pitched voices coming from far and near, and the siren could no longer stand, and without the support of Amplos, she could barely get out of bed. Achilles helped her to slowly sit down beside the black poplar, whose eyes were wide open, but he did not speak. He's using all his roots, searching for the source of these sounds.

The gates of the underworld are always open, and Hades only forbids anyone to go out regardless of who comes in. But seeing such a scene, Charon could not help but be surprised, although he did not know the god of wine, he knew that the staff of Dionysus, which resounded all over the world, was now in front of his eyes, bringing the light of the sun to the underworld.

The diamonds on the Bacchus scepter made Charon spin, but he quickly reacted and stopped Bacchus.

"Bacchus, if you want to come in, show permission from Zeus or Hades, please let me see their divine seals."

The believers behind them are all standing outside the gates of the underworld, and they will not come in without the order of the god of wine. Charon looked at these people vigilantly, the battle of the god of wine did not look like a guest, Charon put his hands behind his back, and when he had to do so, he could only use force.

Seeing his movements, Dio snorted, and the huge divine wings immediately appeared, with a faint light of divine wings in the underworld is extremely conspicuous, Charon was shocked, and immediately stepped back, his arms rose to the ground, and the entire river of pain was lifted up by him, and the stinky river became a wall, almost blocking in front of Dio, he frowned and looked at Charon on the ground, and Charon looked back at him not to be outdone.

Everyone knows about Charon, the boatman, but no one knows that Charon is also the son of Nereus, the ancient god of the sea, who volunteered to follow Hades and stay in the dark underworld. Pearl said he was too loyal, but the sirens said he was in love with Hades' endless treasures. The reason for this is unknown to outsiders except Charon himself.

At this time, Dio understood what Hermes meant by not fighting hard, it turned out that Hades's gatekeeper was a sea god, he was only slightly surprised, but he didn't take Charon in his eyes. For Dior, time is a thing, someone is blocking his way, and Dio is very unhappy.

No longer stingy with his strength, he pointed his staff at the river of pain in front of him, and the halo stretched from the top of the Dionysian staff to the whole river, and there were some undead in the river who could not go anywhere, and they howled miserably, as if something was roasting their souls, Charon watched Dionysus in horror, and after understanding what he wanted to do, he immediately pulled the river of pain back, but it seemed to be fixed, and Charon couldn't pull it no matter how he pulled it.

Looking at it again, Charon realized that the original blood had been turned into wine.

Charon gasped, he didn't know what he had done!

The River of Pain carries the spirits of the undead who cannot cross the river, but they are not the ones who are guilty of great sins, and one day they will be mercied and go to where they really should go, but now that the River of Pain is gone, those spirits will naturally disappear with it.

This is contempt for Hades's rule, contempt for the rules of the world, and make countless undead disappear with a light yì, Charon's eyes widened, doesn't this god have a little mercy!

There were many ways to do it in the past, and of course Charon couldn't beat him if he really wanted to fight, but he chose the most extreme, cruel, and rapid method to make the river of pain disappear.

Dio ignored Charon's surprise and immediately flew to the depths of the underworld, and the believers behind him applauded his actions.

The black poplar could sense the movement of the gate, and his heart became more and more nervous, and when he saw a figure about to fly by, the siren's pupils suddenly widened, and his body shrank inward, and a large leaf hit his body, and the siren looked up in a daze.

The black poplar turned the thickest branches of his body and blocked the siren's body, so tight that even Achilles could not see that there was a man.

After a while, Charon also passed by, and looking at his anxious appearance, he should have wanted to go to the Tartarus Hell, after all, it was where the Titans who wanted revenge were locked up all the time.

Achilles hid behind the fence and watched Charon pass, he returned inside, the black poplar tree silently spread its branches, the siren helped him to stand up, Achilles hugged her: "Let's go, now the gate is no longer guarded." ”

Siren was stunned, looked back at the black poplar, the black poplar also looked at her, looked at each other for a while, the siren shook his head: "Wait a little longer." ”

Achilles frowned: "What are you waiting for?" ”

The siren lowered his head and said in a cold voice: "Wait for the curse to be broken." ”

Because of Pearl, the sirens are actually free in the underworld, and Hades can't control her, if she could get out, she would have gone out a long time ago, and it wasn't Hades who locked her up here, it was Demeter. She didn't need to hide from Charon, because no one was going to stop her.

The sirens sat down again, leaning against the black poplar tree. Achilles was silent, but had to stand still and wait patiently.

At the same time, Dio had arrived at the place he wanted to go, the residence of Hades.

Dio hadn't lost all his sanity yet, and he knew that it would be great if Hades was willing to let Ampulos go, and if he didn't agree, Dio would resort to a last resort.

However, when he arrived, he frowned and looked at the man in front of him. Slowly falling down, retracting his wings, he looked at the wide open palace gate behind him, and then greeted the person in front of him: "Persephone." ”

Pearl smiled, looking extremely elegant, "Long time no see, Dionysus." ”
