Chapter 380: Styx
"It is rumored that in ancient times, there were several rivers of Styx at the entrance to the underworld."
"The first river is called Akron, and those who want to enter the underworld must first pass through it. There is a god who ferries here, but the dead who want to cross the river must pay the ferry fee, otherwise Cullen and his men will mercilessly throw the dead into the river. ”
It is said that the water quality of the River Styx is much lighter than the water of the Yang world, and it is known as the "Yushen River", and it is almost impossible for the human body to cross unless it is through the ships of the underworld, so that the ignorant spirits of the dead will be eroded by it over time in the water of the River Styx. ”
"Churi Pulugton, another river in the underworld, got its name from the River of Flame because it gives birth to flames that never go out."
"Lert is a river of oblivion, and the soul that drinks the water of the Lert River will forget all the things in the previous life and wait for a new reincarnation."
"Stickfen, one of the five great rivers of the underworld, it is said to surround the Temple of the Underworld nine times, it is the River of Hatred. If God crosses this river, he will lose his divinity. Humans and gods will mention its name when they swear an oath, and the oath they make cannot be changed, otherwise they will be cursed forever, so it is also called the River of Oaths"
"The last is the River of Sighs, Quechutes, who were not buried in their lifetime are condemned to wander by the river for many years after death, and the souls who cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation make a sighing sound, and the Quechutes merge into the Akron River downstream."
The Magic Mirror told William everything he knew.
By this time, it was already noon the next day.
The midday sun shone on William's body, but it still couldn't drive away the deep death chill in William's body.
And the skin on his body that had become dry and gray did not recover, and he looked like a piece of dead corpse meat, and even William's whole human breath was much worse, and he looked like he was more than ten years old.
William knew. This is the reason for the loss of his life force.
This requires him to go back to the Black Realm to find some potions that replenish his life force, or some witchcraft rituals that have an equivalent effect, so that he can return to his normal state.
Of course, there are some fairy tales that have a treasure called "water of life", and if William can get this kind of thing, then this little damage is completely unconcerned.
It's just that such treasures are often seen in fairy tales, but in fact, William has never heard of them after so many years, so he may need some opportunities.
Fortunately, this state will not affect William's combat effectiveness too much, so William will not be too anxious to return now. Instead, he focused on the place where the mystery appeared.
A place full of death and ghosts, and a mysterious and eerie river.
Coupled with the information provided by the magic mirror, William didn't have to think about it, and said, "You mean to say that I followed that resentful spirit into the underworld last night?" ”
"The wandering Netherworld, what I saw last night was the legendary River of Sighs?"
"Master, your description is a little inaccurate, I probed the whole environment last night, and although it seems to be vast and boundless, it is actually boundary. It looks more like a piece of shattered land. Perhaps, what you entered last night was not the underworld, but a fragment of the underworld! The river of sighs you see without a source or an end is just a branch that can't be smaller! The Magic Mirror said.
"Fragments? Branch? Hearing such words, William couldn't help but think, "You mean to say that the underworld has been shattered?" That's the underworld! ”
"Hosts, nothing is impossible. It's not one hundred percent sure, but there's a good chance that what you entered last night was just a fragment of the underworld. Although it still has the breath of death, it also has the innate ability to attract ghosts, but after all, it is not a complete underworld, its location, nor the underworld, and certainly not the human world, it is just isolated in the endless void between the underworld and the human world! Just don't know why, there's an exit left here! ”
"Otherwise, if it's really the entrance to the underworld, then master, when you set foot on that land, you should be dead! This is due to the power of the laws of Hades, and living creatures cannot step into the world of death! Even in the distant era of people and gods, there are only a few heroes who are so powerful enough to kill gods that can break through the law of death and return safely after entering the underworld! ”
William was frightened when the magic mirror said, and many complicated expressions flashed in his eyes, and after a while, he said, "So, another question, who broke the underworld?" Is the underworld still around? ”
"The real underworld must still be there! Without the underworld, the whole world would be in chaos, but in fact, we don't see that. So the underworld must still be there! ”
"As for who shattered the underworld? I'm sorry, master, I don't know, in fact, I can't even assure you if the underworld has been shattered, I can only say that there is a great possibility! As for who is the most likely? I guess it's the light above your head. The Magic Mirror uses an uncertain tone that it rarely uses, and it doesn't match up with its usual omniscience.
However, these may involve ancient gods and the return of the dead, and it is normal for the magic mirror to be unsure or not know much.
If the Magic Mirror is truly omniscient and omnipotent, its previous owner might as well simply ask how it became the most beautiful goddess in the world.
Obviously, the Magic Mirror can't do that!
It is also not known.
Since he couldn't know more about that Death Secret Realm, William's mind was on how to tap the use value of this Death Secret Realm.
At this time, we can't help but talk about the resentful spirit of the blood pact signed by William last night.
This creature was originally just a ghost sucked by the secret realm of death, and like other ghosts, it wandered around the river of sighs all day long, until one day, somewhere by the river, it merged with a point of light that fell from the sky.
Not only did it regain a lot of sanity, but it also gave it the ability to cross the two worlds of yin and yang.
That space-time passage is its masterpiece.
The space-time passage was opened near the mill house of the farm, and the wraith found some ghosts with them, and they were not easy to enter and exit during the day, but at night they gathered in the mill house and killed many people.
There are sacrifices from the Holy Light Church, and they hide in the secret realm of death.
The ordinary papal sacrifice was impossible to discover, so it was not until William came.
William's ability is not as obvious as the Holy See's sacrificial power, and this resentful spirit did not notice that William was wrong, so he hurriedly came out to kill someone, and the end was tragic.
