I Will Be the Son of Man

"here is?"

Hill sat up from the bed, he looked around, it was not a world of ice and snow, but a garden full of flowers.

The soft bed, the gurgling water, the singing of birds, the fragrance of flowers... There is even a little bit of sunshine.

If this is a place in the world, Hill will choose to believe it.

But seeing the dark sky in the distance, Hill understood that he was still in the underworld.

"When you wake up, come over and have something to eat, dear son of man."

The woman in the black dress sat in the garden and waved to Hill. Although she didn't understand why she came here, after what the other said, Hill realized that she was also a little hungry.

Sitting opposite the woman in the black dress and the man with black hair, Hill looked at some pastries on the table that he had never seen before.

"If you don't mind, just give it a try. Although it's the first time I've made this type of thing, I still have some confidence in my craftsmanship. My mother often praised me before."

The woman in the black skirt smiled, signaling to Hill that you don't have to be polite.

Nodding lightly, Hill picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth. Indeed, the taste was the same as what the other party said, very novel, but also top-grade.

"delicious."

After speaking the evaluation truthfully, the woman in the black skirt smiled even more after hearing it.

And the black-haired man next to the woman, I don't know if it was Hill's illusion, he always felt that the brows on the other's face relaxed a lot.

"Where is this place? Who are you?"

After eating snacks and filling his stomach for the time being, Hill looked at the two people opposite and asked.

"Is it here? This is [Elysee Paradise], where my dear and I live."

"As for my identity... you can call me Persephone, or my dear Hades!"

Hades...

Hearing the name he had heard along the way, Hill turned to look at the black-haired man.

"Are you Pluto?"

"Ah."

Responding very flatly, Hades put down the teacup in his hand, and stared directly at Hill with deep black pupils.

"Why, come to the underworld, Hirningal?"

Hades had observed teenagers in the past, and Hades, who is the ruler of the underworld, could easily discover the peculiarities of this kind of soul.

Therefore, while giving him more attention, he didn't want the other party to come to the underworld.

"To bring Sasha's soul back. Can you give me her soul back, Hades?"

"No."

It wasn't because the young man rejected the other party because of his disrespect for his title. For a god like Hades who was born with a cold personality, honorific titles were not necessary.

The reason why he refused was only because of the regulations of the underworld.

"So, tell me where Sasha is, can I bring her back myself?"

"No."

Hades looked at Hill and said slowly.

"Once the soul enters the underworld, it no longer belongs to the world of the living."

"Give up the idea of ​​bringing the dead back to life, Hirningal."

"That is, the agreement. I can't, I won't abide by it."

Looking straight at Hades without backing down, Hill's tone seemed to have a hint of firmness.

"Okay, okay, you two should stop arguing, or the rare tea party will be ruined."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two had become tense, Persephone hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Indeed, according to the rules of the underworld, the soul of the dead cannot go back again, Hill."

"But, my dear. I remember that there were exceptions before, didn't I? Or, would you think about it again?"

Looking at Hades expectantly, Persephone put her arms around her [husband]'s arm, speaking softly.

Hades was silent, he looked at Hill for a while, and finally uttered a few words slowly.

"I can, think about it."

Chapter 044: Silver Breastplate

【Elysee Paradise】.

In the garden, Hades was silent for a long time, as if thinking.

"I can agree to your request, but this is only the first step."

"first step?"

There was confusion in Hill's eyes. He looked at Persephone beside Hades, but she just shook her head with a wry smile. It was obvious that she didn't know what Hades was thinking.

"If you want to resurrect the dead, it is not only a violation of the regulations of the underworld, but also a denial of the order established by the gods."

"So, if you want to bring someone back to life, you have to get permission from the other gods."

"After you get the promise of at least ten gods, you can come back here. At that time, I will consider returning that soul to you."

"By the way, you can't ask the gods who have given you obvious protection, because if you do that, you will lose the purpose of obtaining the promise."

Hades didn't give up the right to choose, but just explained his only possible proposal to return his soul. Hades picked up the teacup and drank the tea again. Even Persephone looked at him helplessly, He didn't open his mouth to say anything more.

Promised by the ten gods...you can't find someone who has already been protected...

In other words, Artemis, Poseidon, and Prometheus are all excluded.

The only remaining gods that Hill knew were Hermes, Zeus, and Thetis.

Even so, there are still seven candidates left...

After thinking for a long time, Hill made a decision in his heart.

After all, a promise is a promise.

"I know, I will go to get the promise of other gods."

"You kid..."

Persephone originally wanted to persuade her [husband], but seeing that Hill agreed so quickly, she couldn't help being a little speechless.

Does this child really know what he promised?

Even if you were favored by other gods before, but in terms of this kind of rules, it is very difficult for them to agree to your request...

Frowning slightly, Persephone glanced at Hades angrily, but Hades didn't seem to see him, only the hand holding the teacup trembled invisibly.

"If you promise, can't you give me Hades and Persephone?"

Hill remembered that the two people in front of him were gods, so he couldn't help asking.

"Yeah, I didn't ask at all..."

"I can promise you, but Persephone can't do it for now."

Hades stopped his [wife]'s somewhat excited behavior with a voice, and returned the other party's eyes full of resentment.

"Why not Persephone?"

Hill looked at the goddess in the black dress in puzzlement. Judging from the smell, she was undoubtedly a god.

"The reason for this is very complicated. In short, you just need to know that the gods who can promise you must have a prerequisite."

"That is, they all have something like this in their hands."

Stretching out his hand, on Hades' palm, there was a [silver breastplate] shrouded in dim light.

"Therefore, you have to remember that only the gods who hold such [Promise of Promise] will make your promise valid."

Staring at the breastplate on Hades' hand for a while, Hill's nose also moved slightly, remembering the smell on it.

"So, can Hades promise me now?"

"can."

Did not reject Hill's request, Hades agreed very simply this time.

"However, if you want me to promise you, you must fulfill a request from Persephone."

This is more or less...

Seeing that his [wife] withdrew his angry gaze, Hades didn't change his expression, but his hand holding the teacup became more stable.

"ask?"

Turning his gaze to Persephone again, Hill waited for the answer from the goddess in the black dress.

"A request...Since it's my dear who won the opportunity for me, it would be a pity if I didn't mention anything."

"But don't worry Hill, I won't make any strange requests."

"That's right! I haven't been to my mother's side for a long time, so you can help me bring these snacks to her, this is my request!"

With a wave of his hand, several plates of food that were exactly the same as the snacks he had just eaten appeared on the table again.

"Mother mother?"

Although he understood the other party's request, Hill didn't know the mother whom Persephone was talking about.

"It's the goddess of the earth and the harvest, Demeter! Now, Mother should still be staying on Sicily."

"You just need to take my hair and follow the direction it points to, and you will find that place."

Persephone took off a strand of hair, and with a flash of light, the strand of hair voluntarily wrapped around Hill's wrist, turning into a small "pointer" pointing in a certain direction.
