Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 206 The soul of the tauren is burning (4.3k)

“So, how do you want me to help you?”

 Aphrodite couldn't wait to ask, her face full of eagerness to try.

 Yu Gong, as the goddess of love, she has the divine right to bless love and protect those who seek love.

Especially this kind of love that is not tolerated by the world and is labeled as "poignant" can make Aphrodite empathize and think of her experience with Adonis.

 Personally, the soul of my lover is suffering in the underworld, waiting for the kind-hearted messenger in front of me to risk his rescue.

This kind of near-death journey did not bring enough benefits, and Aphrodite herself felt a little uneasy, fearing that Lorne would not work hard to get her beloved Adonis when she faced a real life-and-death crisis.

Furthermore, if the opponent can, with his help, successfully seduce a pure virgin goddess to break his vow and become crazy about love, doesn't this just prove that his power of love is more powerful? You can even use this to indirectly strengthen her **** power.

 Under the earnest gaze of the God of Love, a hint of shyness appeared on Lorne's handsome face.

"I...I want to formally pursue Lady Hestia, and I hope she can fall in love with me."

Hearing such an innocent answer, Aphrodite was even more satisfied, and she immediately made a vow.

"Okay! When you come back from the underworld, I will let the three goddesses of grace baptize you personally in my holy pool!"

The Three Graces refer to the three beautiful goddesses in Greek mythology who represent the three qualities of charm, elegance and beauty. They are the daughters of Zeus and the ocean nymph Eurynome, singers and dancers of the gods, bringing beauty and joy to the world. They are Aglaia, the goddess of radiance, Thalia, the goddess of encouragement, and Euphrosyne, the goddess of joy. They embody all the beauty of life in Greek mythology.

In fact, they are also feasts, consumptions, personifications of colorful life, materialization of human desires, and incarnations of bringing joy to life.

Whether humans or gods, as long as they pursue the beauty of life, they will inevitably be affected by the power of the three goddesses of grace.

To be more precise, elegance or charm is the externalization of this divine authority, which can be of different types: such as the charm of lust, the favor of Aphrodite, which can cause the attraction of both sexes; and the glory of the warrior. Charm; another example is the king's charisma that can arouse respect for the law.

This kind of "charm" that blends with flesh and blood and goes deep into the bone marrow is far more durable and stable than the "love" that comes and goes like a tide.

At the same time, this kind of charm can also be used to bestow favors on others. For example, the great hero Odysseus, after being served and bathed by Nausicaa, the princess of Huaicaa, accepted the "charm" gifted by Athena, and became in harmony with the gods. With the same appearance, you will have no disadvantages in your interactions with the opposite **** from now on.

 In the original history, even the great witch Circe fell.

This is just a blessing given by Athena under the guise of a mortal princess.

Now, Aphrodite actually decided to join forces with her three goddesses of grace to bless him in the holy pool in the sea of ​​Paphos after Lorne's trip to the underworld was completed.

This is enough to show the sincerity of this God of Love.

 Lorn couldn't help but express his gratitude for Aphrodite's love.

The blessing that wants to have an impact on Hestia, the virgin goddess, is obviously not a cheap buff based on low-level carnal desires. Aphrodite will definitely bleed a lot this time.

Lorne estimated that based on the strength of Hestia's virginity vows, the power of the God of Love that he gained from Aphrodite and the three goddesses of grace should be enough to condense an incarnation.

 Furthermore, when Adonis is resurrected, he can persuade Aphrodite and Adonis to hide their identities and go to the world of two by using the excuse of escaping pursuit in the underworld.

By then, won’t there be no one to take care of the three eye-catching goddesses of Grace? How could I have the nerve to let them suffer again?

-Perfect!

A certain Cretan scribe who inherited the essence of Minoan civilization had the Minotaur soul burning in his body, and he even couldn't wait to see what would happen after he returned from the underworld.

Aphrodite, who was unaware that she had been tricked, regarded the black-hearted villain in front of her as a kindred spirit, and even began to worry about his safety.

 “Although my Adonis is important, you must also be careful...”

 Lorne touched his remaining conscience, smiled slightly, and comforted him softly.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, who will think that I am connected with Prince Adonis?"

He dared to take the risk of going to Hades because he had no apparent motivation to do these things.

 While sneaking into the underworld, he wanted to do something conveniently so that he could operate it alone.

In this way, the Adonis incident can be used to muddy the waters, save the life of the future **** of medicine, and at the same time, harvest wool from Aphrodite. It is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Now, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.

ˆˆ~~

 A few days later, on an island near Paphos Bay.

 “You want to go to Hades?”

Thetis looked at Lorne who came to ask for help again after being away for many days, and couldn't help but have a dark look on her face.

 The first time I offended Ares, the **** of war:

 The second time I provoked Eris, the goddess of discord, and the three goddesses of vengeance:

 The third time he actually asked her about the way to the underworld...

Looking at this sneaky meaning, you shouldn't be going to pay homage to Hades, the King of Hades, right?

Why does this guy do nothing good every time he comes to her?

"have no idea!"

Thetis rubbed her itchy silver teeth, snorted and turned her head.

Lorne hurriedly stepped forward with a sneer, making a promise.

“I owe you another favor, okay?”

He knew that the Sea of ​​Oceanus was connected to Hades, but the specific path was not clear.

My teacher Circe may have known better.

 In view of the relationship between Hecate and the stupid bird, Lorne did not dare to reveal his whereabouts to Circe in order to avoid alerting the enemy.

So, he thought for a while, and could only decide on Thetis to ask for directions.

Who made this sea nymph famous for her erudition and wisdom, and she was the most familiar with him near the island of Cyprus.

Seeing that Thetis was still unmoved with a cold face, Lorne stretched out another finger.

 “Two, two favors!”

Thetis glanced at the enemy who came to the door, frowned and asked.

 “Do I have to go to the underworld?”

 “Well, I have to go!”

“Is it related to Hecate, the goddess of the dark moon?”

"almost…"

Lorne nodded, also a little helpless.

That's true. The reason for everything was that Hecate came up to investigate the imbalance of life and death, which in turn triggered a series of changes.

 Finally, Thetis sighed quietly after some careful consideration.

   “Okay, I’ll take you there...”      ~~

 Two days later, the original ocean, the former submarine site of the Atlantis continent.

Three burly giants with a hundred heads and a hundred arms, standing majestically on the desolate ruins, like three giant pillars holding down the sea.

The remaining Atlanteans were stripped of their human form, turned into half-human and half-fish, and were imprisoned in the dead kingdom.

What's more, some Atlanteans were deprived of intelligence due to the curse of Zeus, and could not even maintain their half-human, half-fish posture. They could only become irrational humanoid sea beasts in the dark and lightless trench. Fighting and devouring each other.

 “Puff, puff, puff!”

Sounds of flesh tearing came from the deep rifts on the sea floor. The turbid blood floated on the water, attracting a large number of deformed monsters to fight and **** food.

Briareus, the leader of the hundred-armed giants, glanced boredly and lost interest for a moment.

 As usual, it’s just some fallen people fighting in the trench.

　　Immediately, he shifted the gaze of several heads back to the underwater ruins of the Kingdom of Atlantis, and continued to monitor the remaining Atlanteans.

At the same time, the two inconspicuous "sea beasts" felt that the cold gazes falling on them disappeared, and breathed a sigh of relief, carefully exploring the deepest part of the dark cracks on the seabed.

As the crack reaches the end, the "sea beast" on the left transforms into Thetis.

"arrive!"

 The goddess of the sea pointed at the dark red light pattern at the bottom of the crack and reminded her in a deep voice.

“It turns out that this is the entrance to the underworld on the sea...”

Disguised as another sea beast, Lorne returned to his human form and reached out to touch the dark red light curtain that looked like a substance and the orichalcum door inside. He couldn't help but secretly marvel at the huge divine power contained within.

According to Hesiod's description in "Theogony", Tartarus, the **** of Hades, was surrounded by three dark curtains (black curtains) and three bronze walls. Its bronze doors were made by Poseidon. During the Titanic Battle The defeated Titans were imprisoned here, guarded by hundred-armed giants.

 If you want to enter Hades from the human world, this is a quite hidden passage.

 Due to her close relationship with the King of the Sea and the Queen of the Sea, Thetis is one of the few insiders.

Furthermore, even if something goes wrong, it seems that you can blame it on the good brother-in-law or some of the rational remnants of Atlantis in the trench.

 The two villains who had the same idea looked at each other, nodded secretly, and then stepped forward to touch several secret texts on the copper block.

 For a moment, three huge walls made of orichalcum flashed with light patterns, and the bricks automatically retreated and closed like living creatures, opening a narrow passage.

Immediately, the blue vortex spread straight down along the crack, and Lorne and Thetis, who were wrapped in it, jumped out in time and landed at the intersection of the dark road with rugged rocks.

The surroundings were dark, with only the faint blue phosphorus fire floating around bringing some light.

Moreover, as soon as it hit the ground, the deathly air, like a thick black fog, seemed to sense the breath of life, and turned into pitch-black snakes and pythons, quickly entangling and eroding the living intruders.

Hum!

However, a pure and solemn trembling trembled from Lorne, and the golden light wheel behind him pointed at the sixth grid simultaneously, and a cluster of golden firelight rose up, illuminating the surrounding area.

 The snakes and pythons formed by the gathering of death energy around them were like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun, and they immediately disintegrated.

At the intersection, Lorne lowered his head to look at the sacred fire in his palm, raised his hand and placed his palms gently on his chest, a trace of happiness appeared in his eyes.

 Fortunately, Hestia's holy fire dispelled the death energy around him.

 Otherwise, if he enters Hades as a living person, he will inevitably be affected.

 “Ahem…”

At this time, hearing a suppressed cough behind him, Lorne couldn't help but come back to his senses, and quickly applied the blessing spell of the Ayo Island lineage to Thetis, who was not adaptable to the environment of the underworld.

Of course, in terms of effect, this level of protection can only guarantee Thetis's normal movements, and is definitely not as good as Lorne's high-level divine protection that can eliminate large areas of death by driving it at will.

Looking at the primitive and barbaric landscape in front of him and the chaotic masses that were constantly crawling around him, Lorne frowned secretly.

 Tartarus comes from the chaotic nothingness that was born in the Greek world, which is the [Abyss] and is the body of the underworld.

Hence, it is the home of gods and human souls, and a prison for the most evil beings. It is connected to the ocean and the earth through the Styx.

In addition, it is said that this is an important place where the Titans and other enemies of Zeus are imprisoned. If you delay for too long, you will inevitably have long nights and dreams.

 In order to avoid unnecessary complications, it is better to do it as soon as possible.

Lorne then held Thetis' somewhat cold hand, activated the holy fire in his body, and introduced the warmth and radiance from the human world into the body of the ocean nymph. Then, after confirming the direction with the faint light of the phosphorus fire, he quickly led his teammate Travel through this dangerous terrain

  Tartarus' defense circle is divided into two parts: the inner and outer parts. The outer part is a physical fortress with three copper walls. Inside, there are also three layers of darkness that confuse perception, inhibit power, and are full of death as an invisible barrier.

 For others, the dark curtain behind the copper wall is even more difficult to deal with.

 But the holy fire in Lorne's hand once again pointed the way for him.

In the darkness, the two people walked zigzag forward. Although the road extended in all directions, it was uneven and difficult to walk. From time to time, they would step on dead bones, which brought a creepy and crisp echo in the dead environment.

On both sides, there are either slippery and cold cliffs or deep valleys leading straight into the abyss, which can be said to be full of dangers.

 But with the guidance of the holy fire, as well as everyone's strong physical ability and perception, after about a day and a night of exploration, they finally walked out of the dead area shrouded in triple darkness.

The shrill roar of the Styx came from the river not far away, and the wails of the souls in the water seemed quite beautiful at this moment.

The two of them breathed a long sigh of relief, relaxed their tense nerves a little, and then looked around to find a relatively flat wilderness to take a short rest.

　　Immediately, Lorne and Thetis sketched out the evil spirit dispelling spell, set up a camp, and settled down briefly.

Standing on the blue-gray stone, Thetis, who was in charge of the alert, looked at the lifeless gray world around her, and thought of the tragic situation of Atlantis after offending the gods, and she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

Lorn saw that Thetis was infected with a dull atmosphere, flexed her muscles, clapped her hands, took out a jug of wine from the magic array and handed it over.

 “Would you like a drink to warm yourself up?”

"good…"

Since they were on the pirate ship, Thetis didn't hesitate too much. She took the wine bottle decisively and took a sip of the wine. Her spirits were slightly boosted and she immediately spoke to remind her.

 “We’d better hurry up, I don’t have a good feeling here.”

Lorne nodded, and in order to speed up the journey, he simply picked up Thetis by the waist, activated the divine speed of [Goat], turned into an afterimage, broke through the gray mist, and galloped in the desolate and silent wilderness.

Soon, a rugged and steep peak stood in the gray mist, towering into the clouds.

On the rugged mountain road, a figure as small as an ant wearing rune shackles pushed a dark boulder towards the top of the mountain.

However, just when the boulder was about to reach the top, the heavy object rolled uncontrollably towards the foot of the mountain due to the influence of certain rules. Thunderous roars were heard all the way, as if mocking the prisoner who was not overestimating his own abilities. .

 It can’t be him, right?

Lorne narrowed his eyes and approached Thetis cautiously.
