Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 214 Do you think Hades is your back garden?

 After a day of hustle and bustle, everything in the Field of Truth is completely silent. The gentle breeze brought the slightest solace, and the screams and howls of the ghosts gradually stopped.

 At this time, it was in the backyard of the trial court.

An old man and a young man were sitting at a round stone table, toasting to each other and chatting about the past and recent events in a harmonious atmosphere.

 “Areadne and Phaedra okay?”

“Thanks to you, they are all doing well. They have successfully integrated their people into Athens and continued the fire of Crete.”

 “Where are my sons?”

“The eldest prince and the second prince have taken root in the new territory, but there is no news about the others.”

 “Well, as expected…”

 King Minos nodded, without much so-called sadness on his face.

 He did everything he could and gave everyone a fair chance to choose.

As for the outcome, that is the future decided by themselves, and there is no need for him, a dead person, to worry about the living.

 After a few brief greetings, the old man looked at the secretary in front of him and got down to business.

“So, why did you come to the underworld?”

 “Assigned by Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to take away the soul of her little lover Adonis.”

Lorne didn't shy away from it. He smiled and answered, secretly passing the blame to the client.

 King Minos had a serious look on his face when he heard this.

 “It is a serious crime to release the dead privately and violate life and death!”

 “As long as I don’t get caught, I haven’t done it.”

Lorne blinked and looked at the underworld judge with a smile.

“So, can you tell me where Adonis’ soul has been sent?”

"impossible!"

King Minos refused sternly, then turned over the big book with a black cover in his hand and reiterated it solemnly.

“I will never tell you that the innocent souls of heroes, demigods, and gods will basically enter the Elysée Garden and enjoy eternal peace.”

 “That’s such a pity…”

 Lorne shook his head helplessly, but the smile on his face grew wider.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore, you should tell me how to get out of the underworld, right? As long as I, a living person, stay here for one day, I will destroy and blaspheme the order of the underworld!"

 “Of course, that’s where the duties lie.”

 King Minos nodded, dipped his hand in wine, and sketched the rough lines and outlines of the underworld area on the stone table.

“Starting from the Garden of Truth and arriving at the Elysée Garden, you can use the River Styx to reach the edge of the underworld. There is a crypt called [Arima] there, which allows you to bypass the Hades guards on the front and reach the surface directly.”

 “The land of Arima?”

 According to King Minos’ reminder, Lorne suddenly remembered the origin of this place.

 Legend has it that after the **** king Zeus defeated the demon ancestor Typhon, the place where Typhon fell was called the Land of Arima. It was from here that it broke free from the shackles of the abyss and came to the surface.

It is also mentioned in Hesiod's "Theogony" that the residence of Echidna, the mother of snakes, is far away from the immortal gods and all mortals, in an abyssal crypt called Arima, which is another part of Hades. A door.

 Very good, now we don’t even have to worry about breaking out from the front.

 Sure enough, Hades made the right move before!

Lorne muttered secretly in his heart, while keeping the circuit diagram on the table firmly in his mind, and then raised his hand to brush away the wine stains on the table to eliminate any negative evidence of internal and external collusion.

 After finishing, Lorne gave King Minos a solemn toast and stood up from his seat.

"Well, I'll take my leave now and won't disturb you to continue the case."

“Then it looks like I’ll be able to retry your case soon…”

 King Minos twirled the wine glass and added lightly.

“Hypnos, the **** of sleep, the three dream gods, and the three goddesses of vengeance are all waiting for you outside.”

 “Ahem…”

Lorne coughed violently and quickly put down his wine glass with a look of astonishment on his face.

 “The Three Furies? The three who live on the primeval sea?”

 “That’s right.”

"Aren't they an accomplice of Eris? Why did they end up working in the underworld?" "Of course it is the credit of Lady Hecate."

King Minos answered seriously and told Lorne about the experience of the three sisters in a concise and concise manner.

Not long ago, Hecate, who was entrusted by Hades, the king of Hades, landed on the earth to investigate the imbalance of life and death. She encountered the obstruction of Eris, the goddess of discord, and the three goddesses of vengeance at sea.

 The two sides fought fiercely, and in the end Eris was plucked of all her feathers and fled.

 The three slow-running Furies were restrained by Hecate and then thrown into the underworld to serve. They are currently responsible for guarding the borders of Tartarus Hell and torturing the souls of sinners.

 After hearing King Minos’ explanation, Lorne couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Although he guessed that Eris would be dealt with badly by Hecate, he did not expect that it would be so miserable.

Not only was he beaten violently and stripped of all his feathers, but even the allies he had managed to win over were captured by Hades...

Tsk, who would have thought that during the Battle of the Titans, this old lady could jump left and right in the battle between the two major gods of Olympus and Othrys?

　Now, I am so depressed that even the last bit of my family fortune has been lost.

 Others do trouble just to make money out of chaos, but she is better off. The more trouble she gets into, the worse off she will be.

 Haha, I had a great time chasing you before, right? Without the support of the three vengeful goddesses, wait until next time we meet to see how I deal with you!

Lorne gloated and mocked as he sat down again and refilled the glasses for himself and King Minos.

Since the Three Furies and the God of Sleep are squatting outside, he must not be able to get out of this door.

 At present, we can only stay in King Minos's house to avoid the limelight for the time being, and then consider escaping after the defense outside is relaxed.

But since he was in no hurry to leave, he did have a problem that he wanted to take the opportunity to solve.

 Lorne drank a glass of wine, considered his words for a moment, and asked in a deep voice.

“I also want to check the information about a person’s death separately.”

"Do you think the underworld is your back garden?! Do you want to check it out alone? Only the central library of the trial can check this kind of secret. Don't think I will let outsiders in!"

 King Minos snorted with a stern face, then glanced at Lorne's solemn expression. After a moment of pause, he put down the wine glass and lay on the stone table muttering.

“I’m old, so I can’t drink too much…”

As the snoring started to get louder, a bronze emblem engraved with intricate runes rolled down from his waist.

Lorne immediately understood. He lowered his head and picked up the bronze emblem from the ground. Under the cover of darkness, he quietly touched the central library.

Since the Hades Trial House is in its infancy stage, and the guards are basically all the divine blood guards who died together with King Minos during the Battle of Crete, Lorne's infiltration was unimpeded.

Soon, he came to the door of the Central Library and put the bronze emblem into the groove of the door and turned it.

 After a moment, streaks of light lit up, and the door opened.

Lorne carefully removed the emblem, got into the door, and looked up at the metal modules that were constantly changing in size and shape.

The construction style here is similar to the Temple of Memory he has been to. Apparently, the goddess of memory, Mnemosyne, also played a role in building the central library of Hades.

 No wonder that in some mythological records, the underworld also has a place for her.

 This result also happened to give Lorne the convenience of accessing documents.

 “Semele…”

　　He muttered the somewhat faded name silently in his mind and put his hand against the bronze wall where the metal modules were stored.

 However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response on the dim and cold bronze wall.

 Can’t find…

 “What does it mean if it can’t be found?”

 Lorn returned to the round table, stuffed the bronze emblem back, filled up the wine glass for King Minos, and asked in a deep voice.

 The old man opposite yawned, stood up as if waking up from a dream, and spoke lightly.

“Death is not the end, chaos and nothingness are the origins of all things, and only the soul of the Lord God has true [immortality]…”

"I see."

 Lorne nodded, a trace of luck in his heart shattered.

 As expected, since His Majesty the God-King chose to take action, he would not leave any hidden dangers easily.

 King Minos didn’t say much, let alone ask any more questions. He just stood up and poured a glass of wine for Lorne himself.

"Dry!"

Lorne raised his glass happily and drank the blood-like old wine in one gulp. The coldness in the depths of his eyes was even more intense.

 It seems that it is not easy for you and your wife to reunite, Your Majesty the God King.
