Chapter 146: Going to the Underworld

At night, the city of Athens was almost dark, with only a few places faintly lit up.

The majestic statue of the goddess of wisdom stood tall, and her never-closing eyes majestically guarded the city, and on the hill, the silent temple of Athena suddenly erupted with a clamor and a burst of golden light, disturbing the already sleeping inhabitants of Athens. Immediately afterward, the awakened residents were horrified to see the temple open, and the samurai belonging to the temple of the goddess rushed out and searched the city, but they did not know what had happened, so they could only hide in their homes and pray in fear.

After the commotion for most of the night, the turmoil gradually subsided, and the temple warriors seemed to have received orders to return to the mountain to end the search.

"It's so easy to get it?"

Just when there was an uproar in the city, in the wilderness outside the city, Ye Ye's face was a little strange, holding a pitch-black helmet tightly in his hand, he always felt unsteady in his heart, and muttered to himself.

"It's a little too smooth, isn't it?"

The armed guards of the Athenian Temple were nothing in Ye Ye's eyes, but under the protection of Athena's divine power throughout the temple, they were impregnable, and there was no possibility of implementing it here at all by infiltrating the method of "Cloud Concealment Technique" on Crete last time. But Medea is worthy of being a famous witch, and after applying an ointment to Ye Ye's body, she actually evaded the ubiquitous Athena's divine power vigilance, allowing him to easily sneak into the temple. Relying on the topographic map of the temple that Medea got out of nowhere, Ye Ye successfully lurked in a secret room, and took the hat from the dark grid under the statue of Athena in the room.

In the midst of the temple of Athens, Tirifiah was angrily asking, "High priest, why don't you continue to pursue that hateful thief and dare to steal the temple's property, this is a complete blasphemy against the glory of the goddess!" ”

The high priest with his eyes closed slowly opened his eyes with a calm face, and his eyes flashed with wisdom: "I just communicated with the goddess, and it is the will of the goddess to let the thief leave smoothly. ”

Tirifia was stunned for a moment, calmed down her anger, frowned and asked, "Have you found out what exactly is missing?" ”

"It's a secret." The High Priest glanced at Tirifia: "You give the order that no one in the temple shall mention tonight's affairs." ”

"Yes!" Still a little indignant, Tirifia bowed her head respectfully and walked out.

"It's all in my lord's hands!" The High Priest gave a determined look on his hand and closed his eyes again.

Above the wilderness, Ye Ye came to a withered cypress tree, and above the trunk, a crow that was so dark that it seemed to melt into the night was staring at him with shining eyes, like a ghost floating in the wilderness.

"I've got it, but what's next?"

As Ye Ye opened his mouth to ask, the crow suddenly flew down from the branch and fell to the ground into a wriggling ghost, turning into the image of Medea.

"This helmet is sealed with the divine power of the goddess of wisdom, but it doesn't matter, I can unlock it."

Medea stretched out her hand to take the helmet, and with a chant in her mouth, her five fingers drew a mysterious trajectory, and after a while, a little golden light emitted from the helmet and scattered invisibly in all directions.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ye's brows couldn't help frowning, even if she was a famous witch in Greek legends, but being able to unlock the seal of the goddess of wisdom so easily, was Medea's strength far beyond the rumors or Athena didn't use much strength at all when she set the seal.

"I don't understand why he didn't take it back when it was Immortal's. Moreover, with such an artifact, why didn't the goddess of wisdom carry it with her or hide it in the kingdom of God, but put it in the temple of mortals? ”

"Who can measure the thoughts of the goddess of wisdom and the king of Hades?" Medea disagreed: "Now that this invisible helmet is in hand, then there is no obstacle to the road to Hades, or do you want to retreat?" ”

“… Let's go! ”

Ye Ye glanced at Medea deeply and made a decisive decision.

"Come with me."

At the southern tip of the Peloponnese, there is a city called Thenaron, which is said to have an entrance to hell, but no one has been able to find the exact location.

But at this moment, Ye Ye was standing in front of this entrance.

"This is it?"

The wind blowing from the narrow cracks was cold and deadly, and it wound towards Ye Ye with a breath of annihilation that sucked the bones and sucked the marrow and seized the vitality. If it was an ordinary person standing here, he would have died of exhaustion of qi and blood in a moment or three, but Ye Ye only slightly exposed the ripples in his body, and a vast masculine positive energy washed away this lingering yin wind.

However, as if stabbing a hornet's nest, it seemed to feel this completely opposite force, and the wind blowing out of the unfathomable crack suddenly became larger as if it was enraged, and the original bone-attached yin wind turned into a cold wind knife, whirring endlessly. If the original wind was just stealing life, now this strong wind is already robbing with open fire.

"I suggest that you don't use this power of the sun and life to resist, although this kind of yin wind that is only contaminated with the breath of the underworld can't help you, but if you go deep into the underworld, once this power of yours is released, it will be as dazzling as a light in the dark, and it will only provoke the counterattack of the power of the underworld." Medea glanced at Ye Ye and said lightly: "Put on the invisible helmet!" ”

Ye Ye put on the invisible helmet with kindness, he had already tried it along the way, this helmet did have magical magic, although I don't know if it can really hide it from the gods, but at least ordinary people can't find it at all.

As soon as he put on the invisible helmet, Ye Ye felt empty, and the whole person was separated from this world as if he had disappeared, and the yin wind could not find its target, and it dispersed after a while.

"Then I'm going to open this gap, and you take the opportunity to go down. Remember, don't approach the palace of Hades, and I hope to see the souls of both men when you return to earth. ”

After speaking, Medea recited the spell, like a waterfall in the air, and powerful magic power emerged from her body, and at the same time, in the rumbling sound, the crack gradually twisted and expanded, turning into a dark passage that I don't know how deep and long it leads.

"Hurry up!"

Medea shouted, and a steady stream of magic power was output to support the entrance of the cave, and Ye Ye's figure in the stealth flashed and he had snatched it in.

"Whew~!"

After a few moments, Medea let out a long breath, and the hole closed and melted back into the original crack again.

With a tired look on her face, a mysterious smile appeared on Medea's face, and she took out a bronze mirror from her bosom, and at the same time bit her white fingers and smeared the blood on it.

The bronze mirror was quickly dyed black, as deep and boundless as the night, but a faint moonlight appeared in it, with a miserable white color, like a dark moon exuding a brilliance that did not belong to this world. In the moonlight of death, a beautiful figure like the night, like the dark moon, like a ghost, quietly emerged, somewhat similar to Medea, but at a glance it was possible to distinguish her stronger and more extraordinary temperament than the betrayed witch, which was the demeanor of a god.

"My lord, I have sent this man to the underworld as you commanded." The witch who enjoyed great fame and ferocity in the legend now knelt in front of this figure like a little girl, her expression was full of admiration and admiration, just as the Athenian goddess guards saw the goddess phantom and the mad women saw the god of wine.

"You're doing well, my boy."

The empty sound seemed to come from the other side of the Yellow Spring, but it carried a soothing magical power that reassured Medea. Although the other party is not the ancestor of her divine bloodline, it is a more important and intimate existence for Medea than the sun god Helios, because this figure is the god she serves, and it is also the source of her magical spell - Hekathe, the goddess of hell.

The goddess of the moon, the goddess of magic, the goddess of the underworld, the guardian of the witch... A series of names all point to this great god who presides over many fields such as magic, ghosts, moonlight, night, and the underworld. As a member of the Titan God, although Hecate's rank is not too high, he is even lower than the sun god Helios, and is considered a peer of the goddess of wisdom Athena, but he is in charge of all the magical powers in this world, and at the same time has the divine power of the Titans, representing the dark side of the world, even Zeus, the king of the gods, is afraid of three points.

As a remnant of the Titan god system and an ancient god of the underworld, this goddess is very low-key and mysterious on weekdays, basically does not appear on the earth, and only stays in the deep and boundless dark underworld, but I don't know why one of her priests, Medea, introduced Ye Ye into the underworld.

However, it is obvious that Medea's previous deal with Ye Ye is very watery, after all, with Hecate, the ancient goddess of the underworld, as a backer, it is too easy to bring out two insignificant souls from the underworld, and there is no need to use Ye Ye's power at all.

"That's the end of this matter, and the subsequent development has nothing to do with you." The goddess of hell chuckled, and her very pleasant voice made the surroundings miserable for some reason, like a banshee song from the netherworld, faint and misty, like a cry of resentment, so that people couldn't help but feel hairy in their hearts.

"After all, this is the commission of the Hades..." The laughter gradually subsided, and the figure of the goddess of hell gradually dissipated, and the bronze mirror returned to its original state.

Medea was horrified when she got up from the ground, and she realized that it was the will of the king of the dead kingdom that had brought this man into Hades. As the priest of Hecate, Medea knew much more about Hades than ordinary people, and since the Zeus brothers divided the world into three parts, Hades became the master of the dark underworld, and the ancient gods of Hades such as Hekate became nominally subordinate to the Hades. It's just that the underworld is vast and has almost no boundaries, and those who can occupy a place in the underworld are all strong among the gods, so Hades also has a lot of respect for these underworlds, and he doesn't look at them as his subordinates, and the underworld is actually in a state of princes.

Of course, in the face of Hades, the titular master of the underworld, gods such as Hecate also wisely showed a certain degree of obedience, after all, Hades was different from Zeus in attacking Poseidon, and did not show a strong desire to control, so although the underworld is eerie and terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, the gods are much more harmonious than on the earth.

But at this moment, listening to the meaning of the goddess of hell, it was actually this Hades King who became interested in Ye Ye, and Medea couldn't help but feel pity for the fate of this stranger.
