[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

After knowing that Hades had acquiesced that he would become the queen of Hades, and that he would not be sent to Olympus if he stayed here, Melos was finally relieved. He was in the mood to eat the food brought by the maid.

The other party has been standing behind him, waiting for Melos' order.

The maids brought all fruits, but they were very different from the fruits Melos had eaten before. These fruits made him feel delicious unexpectedly.

Speaking of which, Demeter is the goddess of fertility, who is in charge of all the crops on the earth. If she wants, she can eat these fresh fruits and vegetables at any time, and Persephone also inherited Demeter's ability. According to mythology, Although she doesn't have a fixed god position, she has become the god of spring after she grows bigger and bigger.

It's a pity that she later became the queen of the underworld.

Both mother and elder sister can eat whatever they want, but he is the only one who has no supernatural power, so helpless.

Melos put down the core and asked Akarali, "Is there any place I cannot go?"

Akarari shook his head: "You are the other master of Hades, and every corner of Hades is open to you."

"Really?" Melos stood up, "Can you accompany me to have a look?"

"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen."

Melos paused. Although Her Royal Highness sounds bad, but... Forget it, he can't ask for too much now.

The underworld is divided into two places. One side is the palace where Hades and his subordinates live, while the other side is the gathering place for the undead. The whole underworld is surrounded by a river, and the other side leads to the human world and the god world, but this road Full of incredible power, the undead can only come in, but cannot go back. Ordinary people can rarely walk in here, and gods rarely step in here, because the feeling here has always been very uncomfortable.

In fact, not all undead need to be managed by Hades. The reincarnation of the world is self-contained and existed before the gods appeared, but the underworld was very messy at that time. It affected the living people on the earth, until Hades came to Hades, took over here with strong means, and controlled these wandering undead.

The underworld also has its own plants growing. Melos saw many plants along the way. There is no sun in the underworld. The only god is Hades. The divine light never exists here, so the light here is very weak. Melos unexpectedly found that he could see everything here clearly.

Maybe it's because this body itself has a godhead relationship, even if no one knows his existence, even if he has almost no divine power, he is still a god anyway.

"Your Royal Highness." Akarali said next to Melos, "You are easily polluted by the dead air of the River Styx, so try not to get close to the River Styx, for the sake of your body."

Persephone can’t get too close to the River Styx, because there are a lot of undead drowned here. They are bound by the river and cannot escape. After feeling resentful, they will want to pull others to accompany them, so there are more and more undead in the River Styx. , those who can climb up will never be pulled down as much, and the water here is full of dead air.

Persephone screamed almost as soon as she got close to the river, because she would hear the cries and screams of countless undead in her head, but Meros would not be affected.

But Melos is staying here under his sister's name, so he nodded to Akarali's advice: "Take me to another place."

Akarali readily complied.

There are countless generals under Hades, and there are ten confidant generals, and these ten generals have their own palaces in Hades, but they are biased to the outside, close to the undead gathering area. According to Akarali, Hades' palace occupies the entire residence. half of the area.

"Does Her Royal Highness want to go and have a look?" Akarali asked.

Melos shook his head immediately.

In his opinion, he has no relationship with Hades. He is very grateful to Hades for agreeing to let him stay in the underworld, but it is only grateful. Thinking of what Hades did to him in the room before, he was afraid for a while and killed him. He shouldn't take the initiative to provoke Pluto, that man's aura is too strong, he can't stand it.

Akarali seemed to smile happily: "Then, I will take the Queen to another place to have a look."

Melos nodded.

In the depths of Hades, there is a forest growing. When Melos was brought nearby by Akarali, he felt amazing.

The surrounding light couldn't affect his sight. He had never seen those plants before, but in the middle of those trees, there seemed to be a little bit of golden light sprinkled in, spreading and dyeing the leaves.

The tree is not lush, and he can even see a lot of dry branches, but I don't know what, when he saw this forest, he felt a new love.

"It's beautiful." He stepped forward, held up a leafless branch with his hand, lowered his head and kissed that branch.

As if in response to him, the branches sprouted and grew at that moment, and in the blink of an eye they were already flourishing.

Between the leaves, there seemed to be golden light shining down. This time, it really illuminated the entire small forest with golden light.

The golden light jumped on his fingertips, extremely beautiful.

He walked slowly into that piece of woods, and this inexplicable sense of familiarity made him want to get closer to it.

He didn't have much divine power that belonged to his mother, and he couldn't make the plants bloom and bear fruit unless they were close to him, but he didn't expect that he could actually bring the plants here back to life.

"As expected of the child of the goddess of fertility." Akarali sighed, and she bowed deeply to Meros, "Your arrival will be a blessing to Hades."

"You don't look like a maid." Melos sat on the tree trunk and looked at her. He found out along the way that Akarali told him about Persephone's habits in the underworld, and how Persephone was. Sephone can't get close in the underworld, as if guiding him to try to play the familiar Persephone in the eyes of others.

In the dark environment of Hades, the flower-woven, divinely-infused veil and clothes on his body became the best camouflage, and the color of his hair blended with the darkness, even if someone could see the surroundings in the darkness However, he will also be misled by Hua, and he and his sister have a somewhat similar appearance. As long as he lives according to his sister's behavior and contacts as little as possible, then he can be safe for a while.

But Akarali seems to be making him more perfect, and what she just said is "the child of the goddess of fertility", maybe he is careless, but don't most people say "you are worthy of so-and-so's daughter"? .

"I never said that I was a maid, Your Majesty the Queen." Akarali raised her eyebrows and said, she also found a tree trunk and sat down, "One of the ten generals under my Pluto, Pluto is worried about others, So appoint me to take care of you, Your Royal Highness."

"Are you really taking care of me?" Let a soldier take care of him?Could it be to monitor him?

"Before you are familiar with the environment of Hades, Pluto is worried about anyone approaching you. Although I don't know why, but that is my master, so I will follow his request, but to be honest, you are more flattering than before you go back." Like it a lot."

Even in private, Akarali did not distinguish Melos from Persephone. Now that it is confirmed, then whether it is the queen before or after returning to Olympus, it will be one person.

Melos understood what she meant, so he smiled: "Before, I was not familiar with the situation of Hades. You know, I have never lived in such a dark environment."

"You'll get used to it," Akarali said.

"I believe." Melos said softly, stroking the tree trunk under him, "The Underworld is actually very beautiful."

"Only those who love this place think it's beautiful."

"I'm going to love it here."

If there is no accident, then he will probably live here for a long time until he can solve the trouble caused by the language of the Great Mother Goddess, but right now he is just a deity without divine power, just more than ordinary People are a little bit better, so I can't do anything for the time being.

After Akarali took Melos around for a while, Akarali sent Melos back to the palace, and told him that no one around here would bother him, and if he needed anything to find her, he could call her full name in the language of God. She will appear before Melos.

When Meros lay down to rest, she left the palace of Meros and went to the palace of Hades.

Pluto was sitting on the throne, looking at something, and put it away when Akarari came in.

"He's asleep?" Hades leaned on the throne, looking at Akarali.

Akarari saluted Hades, and then said: "The queen made the forest bloom. He seems to be used to the environment of Hades. As long as he is not close to the river Styx, he will probably not be affected anymore."

Hades remembered the man who was scared but pretended to be calm, and said to Akarali: "The queen is not in good health, take care of him, and don't let others disturb him."

Akarari raised his head in surprise, only to realize that it was not an illusion. Hades was really smiling, and there was a slight smile on his usually indifferent face. Hades... seemed to value this queen very much, at least he cared more than before.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head: "Akarari will not let anyone disturb the Queen's rest."

"Familiarize him with the environment of Hades as soon as possible. Remember, he is the Queen of Hades. Everything in Hades is open to her. His words are mine. I will not allow anyone to disrespect him."

"Yes."
