[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

Although Hades said that he would take Melos out, to be honest, Melos still had no idea.

However, what he possesses at this time is the power belonging to the underworld, so the chance of being exposed to Zeus is actually very small.

Just follow Hades to see, there is no need to do anything, it should be fine to be careful.

Hades was driving the carriage—in fact, he was not needed to drive the carriage at all. The four horses pulling the carriage seemed to understand the master's mind best, and would go where Hades wanted to go.

As Hades sat on the carriage, Melos kept all the "scenery" along the way in his heart.

The last time I sat on Hades' carriage was just overlooking the underworld with him, and he was unconscious because of his excessive use of his power.

But this time, Hades personally told him everything here, and taught him how to deal with an emergency.

Melos is no longer a god with no power.

Hades clearly told Melos that he was relieved to hand over everything to him.

Melos nodded, feeling a little nervous, but remembered Hades' words in his heart verbatim.

When he finally left the underworld and came to the ground, Melos looked at the sudden light and closed his eyes reflexively—in fact, the light would not harm his eyes, but this should be regarded as a sudden change after being in darkness for a long time. The instinctive reaction to being in the light is like that of a human being.

Blinking his eyes, he was sure that he heard Hades' deep laughter beside him. Since Melos changed his sleeping habits, it was rare for him to show such a human-like expression.

Melos knew what Hades was laughing at, he curled his lips and didn't respond, slowly waiting for his eyes to adapt.

After a long time, he looked around curiously.

Today's world is not as tall and dense as he saw in later generations. The place where Hades chose to appear is covered with green grass. This is a small hill, and a city gate can be vaguely seen in the distance. It should be the periphery of which country .

It was mid-morning at this time, and the warm sun was shining, but it was not scorching hot. Everything had just recovered, and everything was full of spring.

Even though Demeter modified the growth law of all things on the earth, after the initial panic, people gradually adapted to this law.

Melos sat safely in the carriage. Although he could venture out of the underworld, the carriage was where he had to stay.

He will be safe only if he stays quietly on the carriage. Of course, it doesn't mean that he will have an accident if he gets off the carriage, but after all, without the carriage, walking on the ground will always be a little more dangerous.

After leaving the underworld, I can feel the latest temperature. The underworld is a place without temperature, wind and rain. After leaving the underworld, the "world" begins to become richer.

In the underworld, the main colors are gray and black, but here, various colors are competing to bloom.

It's just that after getting used to the underworld and coming into contact with these, I always feel that it is too bright.

Melos sat lazily in the car, always feeling that even the sunlight projected on his body seemed a little hot.

Since leaving the underworld and coming to the ground, the speed of the carriage has slowed down. After staying on this small hill for a while, the carriage moved slowly.

When they passed a building, Hades told him that the statue of the Queen of Hades was enshrined inside.

Melos looked at Hades in surprise.

"The matter you dealt with before, she has fulfilled the promise she made when she was in the underworld."

Melos looked at the building in front of him in shock.

He knew that Niobe had made him a god, but it hadn't occurred to him...

This scale is really too big, it looks like a complete palace has been built.

Someone has already entered it. For his safety, Hades just let him sit on the carriage and look at it from a little farther away. Melos has good eyesight, and it doesn't take much effort to look there from such a long distance. , and can also see what some people in the palace are doing.

Maybe it's because he hasn't seen the real temple?That's why he was so surprised by this?

Melos looked at the buildings not far away. He had never seen a real temple. Before he came to this world, all the buildings in the Greek region he knew came from books, and those buildings were destroyed. The number of words in the book is just a summary of symbolic meaning. After reading it, it gradually fades away, and I never understand the shock of it.

You'll only be amazed by this if you're actually there.

Maybe it's because he is in the underworld and doesn't know the flow of time?

How did Niobe allow her subjects to complete such a vast project in such a short period of time?

Hades didn't speak, the carriage stayed nearby for a while, and then drove them away slowly.

I don't know what kind of thought it was, after the carriage moved slowly, Melos didn't look away immediately, maybe it was because seeing his own temple for the first time made him want to take a closer look, even if this The statue in the temple is the name of his sister.

But Melos wished he hadn't looked at those a few more times.

Because he saw with his own eyes a person walking out of the temple.

After the man walked out of the temple, he left the crowd, and then looked in his direction, and Melos' eyes met his.

Although he knew that no one could see them now, Melos was still subconsciously startled when he saw the other party's gaze.

Hades felt his change and turned his head: "What's wrong?"

"Why is Hermes here?" Melos pursed his lips, very surprised that Hermes appeared in the temple of "Persephone".

Unless my sister didn't tell anyone that she had a very good relationship with Hermes, judging from what Persephone told him before coming here, the contact between Persephone and Hermes should not be counted. More is right.

Different from others, Persephone, as the daughter of Zeus, did not have a fixed god position because of the suspicion of Zeus and Hera. She only became the god of spring after her ability was gradually revealed, but as the illegitimate son of Zeus, Hermes was brought to Olympus by Zeus because of his unique power, and enjoyed a very honorable status.

Just as Artemis is unwilling to contact Hermes, there is not much communication between Hermes and Persephone.

The only time they got along for a long time was probably when Hermes was ordered to go to the underworld to bring Persephone back to Olympus.

At that time, in order to persuade Hades to realize the seriousness of Demeter's over-sadness causing everything on the earth to wither, Hermes stayed in the underworld for a while.

But since then, because Melos took the place of his sister and had to take a series of measures in order to conceal his identity, except for that time when Hermes was ordered to come to the underworld again, they had no contact with each other again. .

Therefore, it stands to reason that there should not be much friendship between Hermes and Persephone.

It's just that he was surprised that Hermes would appear in the temple of "Persephone".

Hades glanced back along Melos' line of sight, and he saw Hermes, who was looking at the direction they left without saying a word.

Normally, Hermes couldn't see them.

With Hades by his side, no matter how powerful Hermes is, Hermes shouldn't be able to see them, but Hermes' sight really makes Hades a little uncomfortable.

"Let's go back?" Melos tugged at Hades' robe and asked tentatively. Demeter told him that Hermes was the protector of thieves and often lied, but he was A supporter of Zeus, Zeus would not doubt everything he said to Zeus.

Melos can understand this, and it can be said that without Zeus, Hermes would not be where he is today.

Therefore, Melos felt that it was safest to leave here no matter whether Hermes could see them or not.

"No hurry." Hades patted his hand. Although he said he was not in a hurry, Melos could clearly feel the speed of the carriage. "Wait a little longer."

Melos knew that Hades must have something to do when he said such a thing. Compared to his curiosity about the ground, Hades was the one who was not interested in everything.

Leaving the vicinity of the temple, without the uncomfortable sight behind him, Melos felt a lot more comfortable. He leaned on the carriage, and Hades sat beside him.

Neither of them moved. Melos didn't want to disturb Hades who was silent. He always felt that even though Hades was silent, he was still doing something.

Not long after, an entrance suddenly opened in front of them.

That is the entrance to the underworld.

But the entrance opened, but the carriage did not move.

Not far away, something was slowly approaching, and Melos narrowed his eyes slightly, only to realize that it was a dead soul.

It suddenly occurred to him that Akarali had told him that Pluto appeared on the ground, it must be because there were missing dead souls who did not come to the underworld, or too much light penetrated into the underworld, and Pluto would come to the ground to find out the reason for himself.

Melos looked at the situation in front of him and raised his eyebrows slightly.

It seems that Hades had personally dispatched the dead souls that had not been found by the god of death and that Hermes had not been able to guide.

However, Melos felt very happy even if he was incidentally.

Hades just stood at the entrance, looking at the dead souls attracted by his dark power with cold eyes. He didn't need to do too much to make Hades lie on the edge of the carriage and stare at him intently.

They all know that since Zeus came to the underworld last time, there has been something more between them.

No need to say much, but I can understand seven or eight points.

There were not many undead that had to be taken away by Pluto himself, but when Hades was about to close the entrance, the last undead that came made him frown slightly.

There is not much reason, purely because it was attracted by Hermes.
