Chapter 302: The Styx Ferryman

As they went deeper, the river grew colder and colder, and at last they saw the river Char had spoken of.

There were many people waiting here, some standing, some crouching, and some desperately leaning against the wall, but there was silence and no one spoke.

And above the river, they saw a small boat floating on the river, not too big, but not too small, and could carry quite a few people.

And there was a man on the shore, he was very tall, wearing a black robe, and his temperament was very special, especially his hand holding the pole of the boat, which was slender and seemed to be a section more than the average person.

"Are you Charon?" Dina asked.

The man turned his head to look at Dina and smiled meaninglessly, sweet and cold, like a python eating you.

"What a beautiful lady." He had a strange accent, like a British accent, but like a foreigner who spoke English as a second language.

"Tell me, do I look like a centaur?"

"Not really."

You should say, "Sir, not like that." He added fluently.

"Sir." Dina said.

He raised his hand, and a line of words appeared in the air in front of him, and he pointed to the letters on it.

"Do you know the word? This is Karon, come and chant with me: K-A, Ka, L-ONG, Long. ”

"Cuarón."

"Good." He softened his emotions, "People often confuse me with that old centaur, do you know him?" Charon.

Many of the heroes' teachers, including Theseus, Achilles, Iason, and Hercules, were also killed by Hercules. ”

Hearing this, Theseus hurriedly asked, "Then do you know Hercules?" ”

"Huh." Cuarón laughed a little amusedly, "How could such a character know me, a boatman?" ”

"Didn't he pass through here when he died?" Dina asked.

"Dead?" Cuarón couldn't help but laugh, "He is a god, and God will not die, but will only go to the end"

Instead of continuing the subject, he continued, "So, what can we do for you little dead people? ”

"We're going to the underworld." White said.

Cuarón looked at them in surprise, "You guys are the most calm I've ever seen. ”

"What do you mean?" Dina asked.

"Calmly face your own death." "Of all the dead people I've seen, I've either been clamoring and saying, 'Something must be wrong,' or 'I'm not going to die.'" ”

He looked at the three of them one by one, "So, how did you die?" ”

His question smashed into White's stomach like a high-speed ball.

They deeply remembered Char's explanation when he came in, so they were a little hesitant at the moment.

White touched Dina lightly with his elbow.

"Oh." Dina reacted, "Uh, drowned in the bathtub." ”

"What about you?" Cuarón asked White.

"Uh, too." White said.

Caron looked at Theseus again, "What about you?" ”

"Same." Theseus replied.

Cuarón's face was a little strange, "It's a bathtub that drowned you?" ”

"Yes, yes." Nodding nodding.

But then, Dina reacted and said, "The bathtub that drowned us was bigger, bigger and deeper. ”

"That's big enough." Cuarón seemed a little convinced, "I heard from some dead people who have come in recently that the people on earth have changed a little differently, some rich people are rich, poor people are poor, and rich people always like to do things extravagantly." ”

He looked at the men, "You look rich, but do you have any offspring?" I have met many people who had money during their lifetimes, but they didn't bring any money with them, and their descendants didn't send money, so they had to take out loans to pay off the boat fare.

Or wait in a queue for centuries before there are any seats available for you. ”

"Oh, but we do have some coins." White took out three gold coins.

"Oh, if that's the case." Cuarón licked his lips, unable to take his eyes off the gold coin, "It's been a long time since I've seen this ancient gold coin. ”

His fingers hovered greedily over the coin.

He almost succeeded.

But the next moment, Cuarón looked at White, his eyes were strange, the places that should have been showing were empty eye sockets, and they were full of darkness, full of night, death, and despair, and the cold eyes looked like they were about to drill a hole in his chest.

He leaned forward and sniffed at White, "You're not dead."

As his words fell, the hearts of all three sank in unison.

"We have to go to the underworld." White said.

Cuarón let out a roar from deep in his throat.

Suddenly, the waters of the River Styx began to boil, and they saw some evil spirits writhing and struggling in it, but they could not get ashore.

"While it's still time to leave, let's leave quickly." Cuarón said to the three, "I'll take this and forget that I've seen you." ”

He began to reach for the gold coin, and Dina reacted quickly, pulling White over with a handful.

"No service without tipping." Dina said that she was courageous and did not fear Caron in the slightest, even if the Styx ferryman in front of her was actually a god.

Cuarón roared again, a low, chilling voice, and the spirits around him became even more agitated.

"Our mentor actually knows your boss." Dina said, "I bet your boss didn't pay you much for all the hard work you do, right?" ”

"Oh, you're not even half of it. Who wants to take care of the undead all day long, they are always saying "please, I don't want to die", or "let me go for free", I have had a salary increase for thousands of years.

Now the lord of Hades and I are still mothers, and I have not been paid a single salary. ”

"Your treatment should be just right." "Britannia's labor laws stipulate that employees over 10 years old must get a certain salary increase. ”

"Britannia?" Caron muttered, "Sounds like a good place." ”

"You should be treated better." "There is also a need for some appreciation and respect, as well as a better salary."

Our mentor knows your boss and asks us to come over, and when we go back, we ask our mentor to talk to your boss about the salary increase. ”

"Sounds pretty good." Caron touched his chin, "But how can I be sure that your mentor really knows him, and what is your mentor's name?" I'll see if I know it. ”

"Merlin!" Dina said confidently.

In fact, she wasn't sure if Merlin knew the Lord of Hades, but she always had to be confident and imposing.

And she also felt that since Merlin was so familiar with Hades, maybe someone who really knew Hades.

A smile tugged at his face, "My patience is limited, and if you don't leave, I'll throw you all into the River Styx." ”

The smile was like a poisonous snake spitting out letters, which was very unsettling, and all three of them subconsciously took a step back.

Their faces were a little ugly, but they didn't expect that before they entered the underworld, they were stuck here at the first level.

But at this moment, Theseus thought for a moment and continued, "He also has a name, Char! ”

The name was asked of Merlin after the Flame Charm.

A look of wrieg appeared on Cuarón's face, "What do you think of me?"

But before the words fell, his face froze.

For he remembered a conversation he had decades ago with his brother, now Lord of Hades, Thanatos.

The disappearance of the god of sleep not only plunged the whole world into a certain chaos.

Hades was also a mess, and many nightmares that should have been under His control began to spiral out of control in Hades.

So, he went to Tanatos to ask where Hypnos was now.

Thus, he learned about what Hypnos had done, as well as the story of the battlefield of the Western Empire.

He met King Arthur and heard a name as well.

That, the name of the mysterious being that sealed Hypnos......

It's like it's called.

Char.
