Chapter Twenty-Five: The Broken Mind Pot
Carreta was led by the maid into the large living room on the first floor of the apartment, where she saw the boy sitting on a large retro wheal velvet couch, and Nana, the Queen of Hell, sitting sideways beside him.
The maid stopped at the tea table, bowed slightly to the two masters, and then retreated.
"Karet, you're here. ”
Nana got up and walked briskly towards her, the knee-length ruffle skirt of the beaded pink gauze skirt swaying with her steps, dancing with a refreshing coolness in the summer evening.
Walking up to Carret, Besephone took her hand, furrowed her brow with concern, and said to her:
"Your mental state doesn't look good...... How's it going?"
"Thanks, it's ok. ”
Kareta smiled gratefully at the queen, then moved her gaze slightly to the boy on the couch opposite.
"Messenger of Kareta, welcome to the Humble House. ”
As the two pairs of eyes met, the boy, who was only eight or nine years old, smiled at Karet, his smile full of a cunning look that he should not have at his childlike age, and his whole body exuded the majesty and nobility of a full-grown king.
After a few seconds, Carreta opened her thin dry lips, looked directly at the boy, and replied solemnly:
"Thank you, Hades...... Hades!"
"You're so polite, sit down!"
In the living room of the West Cliff Apartment, Hades, the boy in the form of Hades, said to Caret with a shallow smile, and tilted his head casually, meaning that he wanted her to come over and sit on the guest single sofa next to her.
Carreta calmly walked over and sat down. At this time, the maid who had guided her back into the drawing-room and offered refreshments to the three gods.
The apartment was originally a private property in Corfu bought by Hades' human father, who was a political official. Not to make money renting out during the tourist season, but only to spend your leisure time on the island for work, or to relax while fishing or watching the sunrise and sunset.
On weekdays, only a few male and female domestic servants are stationed here. Of course, among these servants are also the attendants of the gods who have served the queen of Hades since the time of the gods and are now reincarnated, such as the diligent old maid.
In the absence of the owner, the servants of this apartment entertain themselves in addition to daily cleaning of the environment, maintenance and maintenance of electricity, natural gas, and other living facilities.
Every month, they can get paid on time, in addition to a lot of salary, there are red envelopes and irregular rewards on festivals, so their lives are also comfortable and satisfied.
In the living room, Betherphone stood alone at the tea table without saying a word, and her silent appearance was completely similar to the cheerful, lively, talkative and noisy red-haired beautiful girl in the past.
At this moment, she was aiming a pair of watery eyes at Karet, and her clear face secretly cast a worried look.
It has been more than half a year since the desert joined forces to fight against the demon queen Helen, and time has passed, and now Kareta is no longer the heroic girl in short clothes and hot pants, holding a scepter in the heat of the snow.
In her eyes, she was wearing a summer three-quarter sleeve white fragrant dress, and the beaded diamonds on the front of the blouse and the pocket were shining with flowers, which was beautiful. The cuffs and the skirt of the skirt of the bottom skirt are all rolled with dense short tassels, which looks novel and chic.
She sat down gracefully beside Hades, and placed the rose-colored crocodile patent leather handbag in her hand in the corner of the tea table.
Whether she is armed or red, she is so uniquely beautiful, and no matter how she dresses, she will not detract from the strength of her bones.
Such an elegant and dignified lady, it is no wonder that the gods of darkness have a soft spot for her...... However, her feelings for Brother Jose at the beginning were also rock-solid-
Betherphone's memories jump back to the Sahara Desert once again. In the clear picture, the sexually strong girl is waving the scepter in her hand, fighting hard for the lover she wants to protect. In the wind, her blonde hair fluttered in the wind, meeting her resolute look.
At that time, that human young Jose was the reason why she wanted to keep her life, and the only motivation for her desire to live-
"Betherphone?...... Betherphone!"
Hades' majestic call finally woke him up from the aftermath of reminiscing about the past.
"Ahh......h
She looked at the boy in the middle of the couch, and there was a hint of panic in her expression.
"You can go back to your room after meeting with the Carreta Emissary, I don't want you to stay here and interfere with her train of thought in the middle of a conversation. ”
"But...... Wang ......"
"Go back to your room!" Hades commanded without waiting for her to finish.
Besephone's eyes were slightly red, and she watched Hades tremble twice as she took a small bite of her cherry, and finally stamped her foot and ran away.
After a while, there was a loud slamming of the door from somewhere upstairs, and Betsephone had already entered the room, and the sound was naturally the sound of her slamming the door tightly in anger.
Carreta watched strangely as Betherphone left her and ran away, then turned her puzzled expression to Hades.
She wondered.
Judging by the situation just now, the god couple was clearly making trouble, and somehow, the Hades King made his wife unable to get off the stage in front of the guests.
Could it be that the rumors in the world that Hades loves his wife very much are all false?
Because he doesn't have much friendship with Hades, and he is a newcomer to the mansion of the other world, Kareta is not easy to ask about his family affairs.
Her embarrassed expression caught Hades' attention, and he pursed his lips and smiled:
"Laugh, messenger. Betsephone's temper is still the same as that of the gods, more willful. ”
"Where, I have to thank her for her help to see you as I wished, it's my business that has troubled you two. ”
"You thank her, thank her, thank her? To be honest, she didn't want you and me to meet. If it weren't for her, you might have seen me earlier. ”
“......?”
Carreta was confused, and Hades clearly meant that Betherphone didn't want him to meet with her.
After the ugly sex scandal was exposed, she did wait for many days after she asked Bessephone for the first time for Hades to get a reply, and it turned out that she was sincerely unwilling to help herself.
"Betherphone...... Why?"
Thinking that the Queen had been zealous to save herself many times before, Kareta was incredulous at Hades' words.
"You'll find out why in a moment. ”
Hades raised two eyebrows, his eyes fixed on Karette and replied. On the child's face, the expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling overflowed with a slight smooth color.
"Messenger Karete, I understand why you came to me. ”
Karete's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her heart that had been hanging high finally fell back into place.
She believed that Hades was right, and that the reason why he was in the shadows but knew everything about the world was because he had Cerberus Gerberos.
It is a giant monster with three heads, the shape of a dog, and the tail of a dragon. From the beginning of the god ~ he was responsible for guarding the gates of hell, preventing the living from entering the underworld by mistake, and also preventing the spirits of the undead from going to the world.
In addition, he has an unknown function, which is to "hear" with his distinctive six ears!
In Gerbellos, the three heads represent the past, present, and future of the universe, and the pair of ears on each head are used to hear the events of the corresponding period.
When it feels tired, it alternates its three heads and chooses one or both of them to fall asleep, keeping at least one of its heads awake.
Throughout the year, it has been unswerving in this way to keep the gates of Hades at its gates, and to keep everything in the world in its ears, and to tell the King of Hades the truth in the way of heart-to-heart transmission when he is at a loss for what he understands.
In the mythological civilization of Middle-earth in Asia, people called Cerberus Gerberos "Di Ting", and many fantasy works have been referenced
its image.
Kareta was glad that her interview with the Immortal had gone well. Hades did not detour in his speech, nor did he reveal his arrogant and pretentious nature to her.
Perhaps, Hades himself is also taboo about Aquaman's private encroachment on the rebirth of human flesh and parasitic spirits-
Thinking of this, Carette also said frankly:
"In that case, I beg Hades to give me the means to lead the spirits of evil gods and save innocent humans. ”
Hades looked directly at Carret, and the two rays of light were as sharp as lightning, all of which were unobstructed and condensed on her entire face, which looked eager. After a long time, he spoke:
"Poseidon, the king of the sea, has been reduced by you and the dark god in this life, and the body has been destroyed but the resentment has not been removed, and the primordial god has been reborn through the body of the human man Jose, and his despicable deeds have constituted a serious sin in the precepts of the Titans, and according to the regulations of Hades on the undead. Since ancient times, these souls who refuse to obey the mandate of heaven have been treated with a magic weapon that can suppress them, and that is the magic pot known as 'Broken Thoughts'!"
"Broken thoughts...... Magic pot?"
Kareta muttered the name, she had already heard the Immortal King's explanation, and before she knew it, her eyes widened.
"The 'Broken Mind' magic pot is the treasure of the underworld, and it is dedicated to the evil souls who have exhausted their yang life but refuse to enter the underworld or the way of reincarnation because of their obsessions, and the original spirits of the gods are no exception. That's why it's called 'broken thoughts'. If you want to lure Aquaman's evil spirit out of the human man's body without harming the man's life, the only way is to use the magic pot. ”
"Okay, then please lend me a magic pot—"
As soon as Hades finished speaking, Carette shouted excitedly, and her seated body had already jumped high from the sofa, looking extremely impatient.
Finally found a way to destroy the evil spirit of Aquaman, and this opportunity should not be missed. As long as she gets the magic pot, all the slander and grievances she has suffered will be revealed, and all the gods and humans who have been persecuted by the Sea King, including herself, will be redeemed-
Hades fixed a smile:
"Don't worry, I believe you know the rules of Hades, my Hades didn't borrow anything in vain. ”
"I know, I know...... Of course I do!"
Carette seemed a little incoherent because she was too excited, but she soon realized her gaffe in front of Hades. With a slight flush, she sat back on the sofa, adjusted her breathing and emotions, and said solemnly:
"No matter what the terms are exchanged, I promise you! I just ask you to borrow my Broken Mind Magic Pot!!"
"Oh, yes, do you really promise me everything?"
Two rays of light slipped through Hades' green eyes, and he sat motionless in the middle of his couch. On the childlike face, the sly smile was even more gloomy.
"If so...... What about your life?"
