228 Prisoner Distribution
It was customary for Charon to collect money from people.
The ancient Greeks put a silver coin in the mouth of the deceased, so that the soul of the dead could have money to give to Charon when they were on the banks of the Akeron River, otherwise the deceased would not be able to board the boat or go to the underworld, and would have to wander by the river all year round, with nowhere to return......
Of course, Charon charges are also very fair, one silver coin per person, never fluctuates due to rising or falling prices, and does not care at all about the peak season and off-season to hold various discount activities. Even Hades, the king of Hades, can't control him, who calls people with tough backgrounds, and has parents who are the five primordial gods?!
So Li Xiao was despised as a matter of course.
Charon put the oars on the boat, sat down and threw the three silver coins handed over by Li Xiao: "The weight of the living will make my ship unsafe, and it is already very good if I don't overcharge you...... Want a discount?! Go and talk to me with His Royal Highness! ”
Li Xiao was unwilling: "Did Ganymedes and Amphitrita in front also give money?!" "The devil believes in him! It's good that those two people weren't tied up on the boat, how could they take the initiative to pay for the ferry?!
"They are the gods of Olympus." Charon said with contempt: "The god of Olympus crosses the river and keeps a direct bill, and every hundred years he takes the bill to the god king for unified settlement." Why, you also want to change your godhood?! ”
Yang Yanfu's second generation, seeing that no one was bargaining, saw that he was grinding, and couldn't help but speak: "Give it to him!" Isn't it just an extra dollar, as for such ink?! ”
Li Xiao wanted to cry: "Second brother, this silver coin is not as simple as a dollar...... Let's not talk about the face value, you don't know that this silver coin is pure silver. Or Hephaestus personally made, with the head of Hades on the coin, absolutely priceless......"
"I'll pay you how much it's worth when you turn around, give it to him!" Yang Yan interrupted impatiently and urged again.
"I'll only have three questions!" Li laughed and burst into tears: "At the beginning, Lao Ha gave me three, thinking that it would be enough, and I would take it next time when I ran out, who knew that you would follow so many people at once?!" ”
Fu Xi and Feng Xiaoxiao came from behind, and after listening to a few ears, they understood the current situation, Fu Xi glanced at Charon's broken boat, and raised his feet and walked directly into the Akeron River.
"Be careful......" Charon reflex gasped.
The Achillon River is also known as the River of Pain. The river water is not really water. It is condensed by the resentment and yin qi of the undead souls.
Once the yin qi is contaminated with the body, those resentful spirits that only have instinct will tightly entangle the soul of the person who enters the water, causing the deceased to be swallowed up by deep and solemn pain and despair, and lose their minds. The most assimilated into the bitter and wailing spirits of the Akeron River.
Even Charon didn't dare to touch the river at will. Even if he could last longer. But I would never want to have such an unpleasant experience of falling into pure despair......
As soon as his words fell, the soles of Fu Xi's shoes stepped on the surface of the river at the same time, and he couldn't even float a feather on the Akeron River. Fu Xi paced up as if he was strolling in a leisurely garden, and under his feet were roaring and crowded into painful distorted grimaces, and several unknown resentful spirits wanted to bite Fu Xi's trouser legs, but just after jumping out of the river, they were burned into nothingness by the nameless karmic fire that appeared out of thin air.
A few faint ghost fires struggled and danced at Fu Xi's feet, setting off an extremely strange atmosphere, and the latter turned around under the light of this fire, and said calmly: "Don't lead the way yet?!" ”
"Uh......" Charon was dumbfounded.
There were just three people left, Charon stopped talking nonsense, and waited for the others to get on the ferry one after another, and as soon as the oars supported the riverbank, the seemingly simple broken wooden boat floated leisurely into the middle of the river......
There is a price to pay for the living to enter the underworld, and Charon's ferry is the first test.
The weight of the living can make the ferry jolt and turbulent, and in addition to the fearless and brave heroes, it is better for the heroes to have a little bit of good luck. Otherwise, anyone who is tossed out of the ferry, or accidentally touches the waters of the Acheron River, will be immediately annihilated by anguish and despair.
From the above situation, it can be seen that it is not an easy task to brush the underworld dungeon, and among the famous heroes of ancient Greece, only a few people have successfully brushed enough merit points here, and the vast majority of people can't even pass this first level......
“……”
Charon almost knelt on his knees, and from the first time his ferry rocked on the surface of the Akeron River, the man walking on the river held the woman sitting on the ferry and glared at him with dissatisfaction.
Then, before Charon could explain that this was a normal situation, the other party turned into a cyan snake tail on the legs of the lower half of his body in front of him, wrapped the entire hull of the boat, and dragged it away directly......
Charon almost burst into tears at that time, which was simply too cruel.
What are the waves, what are the resentful souls.
The small ferry is tightly entangled, and riding the wind and waves on the river is simply better than a speedboat, and more stable than a cruise ship.
Charon is completely useless except for directions. He even felt that he could enjoy such a fast and smooth river crossing service, and it was simply unreasonable for him not to give him a silver coin...... Of course, he has to really dare to give it......
When we arrived at the banks of the River Styx, after passing through the black poplar trees and the unfruitful coconut trees, there was the palace of Hades, and the three-headed dog Cerberus who was playing cards in front of the door did not see the insignificant Li Xiao who walked behind the group at all.
Charon, who had not had time to row away by the river, witnessed the scene of the huge three-headed dog falling into the Achillon River like a meteor out of the sky, and he was so sad that he wanted to cry...... It's too embarrassing, hurry up and row the boat over to catch the dogs.
On the other hand, Hades probably heard about the achievements of this group along the way from some unknown source, and when everyone entered the palace, they saw that the Hades had already sat on a high throne.
As soon as he saw Fu Xi, Hades moved his gaze downward, staring at the cyan snake tail and was silent for half a minute.
Li Xiao couldn't figure out what this paralyzed friend was thinking, so he hurriedly came out to play a round: "We met again so soon." ”
Hades retracted his gaze, turned to Li Xiao expressionlessly and nodded, thinking about it and adding: "Three days." "It only took three days to see you again.
Li Xiao was suddenly embarrassed, it was indeed a little disturbing to come to the door too often, if the relationship has been in place for a long time, it would be good to say, you can come to the door every day to eat. But after all, this friend hasn't known each other for a long time, and he is still the king of the underworld, even if there are few ghosts now, there must be a lot of other things to be busy with.
He was stunned for a while, and before Li Xiao could think about how to answer, his calf had already been kicked by Feng Xiaoxiao, meaning that he should hurry up and get down to business.
Li Xiao wiped his sweat and decisively looked for foreign aid: "Eh, Brother Xi, what do you see?!" ”
Fu Xi is also used to going straight: "Where is the foundation?!" ”
Foundation?!
Hades blinked his unwavering pair of dark eyes, and seemed to think for a moment before recalling: "Amphitrite's Atlantis?!" After a pause, his expression still did not change, and then he asked, "You only need this?!" ”
Fu Xi didn't have time to nod his head when he was dragged by Feng Xiaoxiao, who hurriedly smiled: "If it's convenient, it's best to return the Queen of the Sea and Aquarius to us......"
Hades didn't answer right away, instead turning his head to look behind his throne.
It was only then that Feng Xiaoxiao noticed that there was a man standing in the dark shadows behind the throne, holding a scythe in his hand, wearing a black cloak, and a pair of black wings that emitted coldness...... Receiving Hades' gaze, the man pulled down the hat on his cloak and stood up, revealing a very young and handsome face, nodded to everyone, and then bowed to Hades and reported: "My king, Ganymedes was taken away by the Queen of Hell, and maybe the Queen of Hell" will not be willing to return it. ”
Persephone, the queen of the underworld, is also a rather complicated girl, who was originally taken to the underworld as a wife by the Hades, but although she was a victim in this matter, when she officially became the wife of the Hades, she immediately showed her fierce side.
Not to mention the trivial matter of crushing one of Hades's ex-lovers into ashes, one of Persephone's more famous deeds is to rob his lover with Aphrodite, the goddess of love, and the last thing is so troublesome that Zeus has to intercede Not to mention, the man also said that he doesn't like her, and he was forced to accompany Persephone for four months, and Aphrodite for four months, and he can decide for himself whether he is having fun or going to find Eros......
After listening to Yang Yan quietly popularize the love history of the underworld in his ear, the Greek god's undisciplined exercise once again refreshed the lower limit, and Feng Xiao was speechless for ten minutes, looking at Hades's instant silence after the report of the god of death, Tanatos, and the almost figurative shadow behind him...... She couldn't bear to continue to ask the poor man on the throne, so she gave up Ganymedes and cautiously jumped to the next choice: "What about the queen of the sea?!" ”
Hades looked up at Taratos, who hurriedly continued to report to his master: "Amphitrite was brought into the abyss by Tartarus...... "That is one of the five primordial gods, the endless abyss Tartarus is an existence that can imprison the previous god king Kronus."
Grass!!!
Feng Xiaoxiao almost wants to look up to the sky and howl, do you dare to lower the lower limit of this gang of miscellaneous people in Greece?!
As soon as you grab someone, you will immediately share the spoils, which is not even a little foreshadowing.
Fu Xi's face was also a little ugly, but fortunately, after he spoke, Thanatos had obediently added immediately: "But before Amphitrite was brought into the abyss, the water balloon of Atlantis had been handed over to the Hundred-Handed Giant God by Tartarus, do you want me to take it?!" ”
Fu Xi was immediately relieved, it didn't matter if he robbed people or not, as long as the foundation was still there. (To be continued......)
