Chapter 301: Enter Hades
Although Char's clairvoyance can see the present, Hades is not on the same timeline as the human world.
Just as a day in heaven is a year on earth, a day on earth is also a year for Hades.
Moreover, the speed of time flow in different areas of Hades is also different, so there are some blind spots for Char.
Letting White go is undoubtedly the best choice, and he is equivalent to the "protagonist" in this period.
He had a high level of luck, which was derived from the fate he had given to Gaward and Abs.
In order to strengthen the power of fate, Char even gave him the fate of Newt, the protagonist of Fantastic Beasts, which made his luck even stronger.
Char doesn't need to interfere too much, just a little bit of guidance on certain details of the progress of fate, it will be enough for them to accomplish what he wants.
Time flies, and soon, the next morning comes again.
Char left Hogwarts with White, Dina, and the leader of the Enforcers, Hughes, and teleported them to the Forbidden Forest in Sleepy Hollow with them in a shapeshift.
There hasn't been much change here compared to decades, and the trees are still half-dead, with no branches and leaves but still alive, between life and death, just like this place.
The chill to the bones made these people shiver slightly.
Dina touched her arm, "Where is this?" ”
"The Sleepy Valley of the Isles of Britain." Char said, "There's a node here where the living can enter Hades. ”
White's gaze searched around and soon settled on an ancient tree.
Of all the forest, this tree was the only one that was leafy, but its leaves were strange, not a dull green, but a deep red, red black, as if stained with blood.
In addition to the lessons on communicating with animals, there are also courses with plants in the magical system of the Druid House, so White can clearly hear the "voice" of the tree.
It seems that there are countless ghosts whispering in the ears, which makes people's hairs stand on end.
He subconsciously approached Char, which would bring him a little sense of security.
Then, under their gaze, the root system of the coiled under the big tree began to move, and sticky blood gushed out from under the roots, and even a few arms and skulls fell out, which made them subconsciously take a few steps back, and their scalps were a little numb.
"Phew!"
With a long neighing of the warhorse, a medieval-style black knight leaped directly from the root of the tree on a warhorse, and stood in front of them.
To their further horror, the knight was headless.
This reminds them of some legends that are very old in the past.
Their faces were slightly wary, and some raised their wands.
I saw the headless horseman get down directly from the warhorse, and under their stunned gaze, he half-knelt down in front of Char, and lowered his upper body.
They looked at each other, but withdrew their wands.
"Open the gates of hell." Char commanded.
And the headless horseman was also very obedient, raised his hand, and the place where the root of the tree slowly opened a spatial door, and even expanded to the sides, through the moonlight, you could clearly see the cave-like passage behind the door.
Char looked at the Headless Horseman, "You're doing a good job, your head should have left you for more than fifty years, right?" ”
The Headless Horsemann didn't speak, but Char raised his hand, and his head appeared on his hand at some point, but at the moment there was no life on the head, and his eyes were blank, like a real dead man's head.
Char threw the head to him, and he took it and couldn't wait to put it on himself, as the head gradually fit into his neck.
It was a lifeless head with a little more expression, and his mouth was slightly grinning, looking very happy.
"Let's go inside." Char pointed to the gate of hell, "I'm just going to send you here, you will meet a lot of evil spirits when you walk through this passage, but don't look at them."
Walking this way, you will see a river, and on that river you will see a boatman standing on a boat. ”
"I know, Caron, the Ferryman of the Styx." "I did my homework before I came. ”
Char nodded, "If you want Karon to cross the river with you, you have to pay, preferably this kind of gold coin." ”
He raised his hand, and there were a few more gold coins on his palm, which were ancient Greek gold coins, and Sebas used to pay for drinking in the tavern, so he still had a lot of them.
This gold coin is hard currency in Hades.
White also reached out and took the gold coins from Char's hand.
"And most importantly, don't let Caron recognize you as alive, or you won't be able to make a boat."
The three nodded.
"That's probably it, after entering the underworld, you will encounter a lot of dangers, but I think you can solve them."
Char took out three gem-like objects from his body and handed them to White.
"These three gems have teleportation magic, and if you step on them, they will take you out of Hades."
Hearing this, White hurriedly divided the gems, and they all carefully put them away.
After going to Hades, there is a high probability that you will not be able to return the same way, and Caron's ship has a one-way ticket.
So these gems are probably the only way for them to go home.
Hughes took a deep breath and walked in first, followed by White and Dina, both of whom raised their wands, the tips of which lit up the realm.
Surrounded by rocks, and even stalactites on top, it looks like an unknown underground cave, but the road ahead is as deep as an abyss, making it impossible to see the end.
Faintly, some ghostly wails gradually came from afar, and they swallowed slightly, but still walked in.
Char watched silently as they faded away, and he slowly disappeared in place, but he flew in front of them using a shapeshifter.
The tunnel was deeper than they had imagined, and they had been walking for hours without reaching the end, the tunnel was all the way down, and in some places there were even cliffs of 90 degrees vertical, but fortunately they had good results in their flying lessons.
If this was underground, they had no doubt that they were now at the center of the earth.
In the light that the illumination of the surroundings could not illuminate, they could feel many pairs of eyes watching them, even making creepy sounds.
They obeyed Char's instructions very much and did not look back at them.
Char also passed through this passage the last time he entered Hades.
He had already cleared the passage before that.
Those left behind were some ghosts who were not powerful, and because of the deterrent power of Char's arrival last time, they were now very afraid of the living people who passed through this passage.
