The emperor of the sea broke up every day [Greek mythology]

Seeing this, Poseidon misunderstood his hesitation: "Isn't it?"

Charon stop.

I saw Poseidon put away the branches in his hand, then looked for them intently, and pulled out two branches.

"What about these?" he asked.

Charon: "..."

Charon couldn't give an answer, because he didn't have a standard answer.

Seeing his silence, Poseidon couldn't help frowning.

"Aren't these too?"

He felt that his good brother Hades might not be trying to make things difficult for others. As the emperor of the sea, he is definitely one of the male gods with the most abundant reserves in the world. Even he couldn't pass the Styx smoothly. This rule is probably not in name!

It has to be said that this is the moment when Poseidon is closest to the truth.But Charon came to his senses at this moment, and pointed casually: "It's this one, it's this one! Your Royal Highness, get on the boat quickly, and I'll take you across the river!"

In fact, he didn't know which one it was, he just looked at Poseidon raising his eyebrows, fearing that he would get angry, and he was just doing it half-heartedly.He has confirmed the identity of Poseidon, how dare he refuse him again?If this noble His Royal Highness the Sea Emperor loses his temper and flips the Styx over with his trident, he will be in even greater trouble!

As soon as Charon finished speaking, he jumped onto the boat without waiting for Poseidon's response, inserted the penny into the water, and said courteously: "Two male gods, please board the boat. The souls on the boat will be a bit uneasy. Please hold on to the side of the boat."

Poseidon didn't understand why Charon didn't ask him to take the golden branch, but he still held it!

Amphitrite vaguely guessed what Charon was thinking, but she didn't expect that Dong's rectum would break through Charon's twists and turns. It's funny to think about it.He shook his head, went to hold Poseidon's hand, not letting him get to the bottom of it: "Let's go, Dong."

Being held by Amphitrite, Poseidon nodded slightly and said no more.

Charon standing at the bow couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The water of the Styx River was rushing continuously, but there was no sound at all.The two male gods boarded the boat, and the boat shook as if it was overwhelmed.

In fact, it is really not a vessel for living souls.Ordinary undead have no weight and float on the boat without affecting the sailing of the boat. However, the two male gods are different. Their souls have quality, and they are heavy when they board the boat, making the boat much deeper.

Amphitrite held on to the side of the ship with one hand, and held Poseidon's hand tightly with the other. The invisible protection made Poseidon's heart slightly sweet.

No matter how powerful and powerful he is as Poseidon, the king of the sea, in An's eyes, he is the one who needs protection.

This feeling is really not bad.

Poseidon smiled and couldn't help feeling: "Ann, you're so kind!"

Charon was about to row a boat. Hearing this, he couldn't help but glanced at them out of the corner of his eye.He endured it, but didn't hold it back: "You two just need to hold on to the side of the boat. Since I carried you, I won't let you fall into the River Styx. Don't worry about that."

Charon guessed that the two male gods might not like to listen to his words, but he also didn't like to see their hands clenched - it was so dazzling, full of distrust of his punting skills !

He, Charon, has been punting on this River of Styx for thousands of years, but he has never capsized!He Charon punted, what did they have to worry about? !

In fact, Poseidon thought the same way, he knew that Charon dared to carry the two of them, and he expected that he would not be too big, so when he got on the boat, he wobbled and couldn't stand still, and he didn't feel scared at all.

But seeing Amphitrite raised her eyes, her tone was sincere: "You are worrying too much. I shook hands with him, not because I don't believe in your skills. It's just that I love him so much that I can't suppress my worries."

Poseidon: "..."

Uh, what is clasping fingers, what is deeply in love with each other... There is no need to explain it so clearly!

Ann, who suddenly became fond of hitting straight balls, really made him a little overwhelmed.

Poseidon was inexplicably embarrassed, his cheeks were hot, and the corners of his mouth twitched, but it was a smile arc when he lifted it up.He curled his fingers and picked at the palm of Amphitrite's hand, signaling with his eyes that enough was enough.

Although he liked Ann's straight ball very much, such a blatant show of affection really made him wonder if they would be driven off the boat by Charon.

At this time, Charon was really speechless. After hearing Amphitrite's explanation, he felt that it would be better not to explain—it made his teeth hurt!

Charon didn't want to see anything now, he didn't want to hear anything anymore, he nodded hastily, looked away, and propped up the penny to leave the river.

At this moment, there was a cry from the bank, and a black figure rushed out from the bank of the river, chasing after the ferry: "Wait! Wait—"

"Tsk." Charon frowned impatiently, not even looking at the undead chasing the shore, and speeded up the punting.

Poseidon couldn't help being curious, he looked around and saw the black shadow getting closer, and he could vaguely see his gray and fluffy hair jumping wildly while running.Poseidon received the education of respecting the old and loving the young since he was a child, so he couldn't help reminding Charon: "That seems to be an old man."

What he got in return was a disdainful smile from Charon: "It's just a bad old man who can't pay the boat and still tries to get on the boat! When he was alive, he couldn't make up a silver coin by begging. Old karma—His Royal Highness Pluto, you don’t have to pay attention to him!”

There is no doubt that Charon is proud.He is the son of Erebus, the god of darkness, and Nyx, the goddess of the night. He is a great protoss. To him, an ordinary human old man is no different from an ant.He respected Poseidon only because Poseidon was the Lord of the Sea Realm, and he didn't need to look at Poseidon's wink as to his attitude towards a human old man.

However, to Charon's surprise, Poseidon said, "Go to shore."

Charon was a little surprised: "His Royal Highness, we are ready to leave!"

"Well, we're just getting ready to go, so it's not too late to stop now."

Poseidon's attitude made Charon dissatisfied. He can serve Poseidon and carry them across the river, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to break his principles and carry one more poor undead!He dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, he simply pretended not to hear, and stirred the penny in the river of pain, and while stirring the waves, he secretly urged the boat vigorously.

Seeing this, Poseidon did not argue with him.The undead on the shore were getting closer and closer, and their voices became more and more urgent.Poseidon watched the movements of the white-haired undead from the corner of his eye, he stood up quickly, and reached out to Charon.

Because of Poseidon's sudden movement, the ship shook again.Amphitrite held his waist and helped him stabilize his figure.Poseidon grabbed Charon's penny, lowered his head and smiled at Amphitrite: "Thank you, Ann. With you by my side, I always feel at ease."

The underworld is always dark, and on the river of pain, there is not a single speck of light to be seen.However, when Amphitrite looked up, she could see the little sun with a bright smile, emitting heat continuously.

He couldn't help but smile back, the smile was shallow, but it shook Poseidon's eyes.

But Charon was caught by Poseidon, and his temper also came up, and he tried hard to earn money.However, Poseidon seems to only care about his male lover, and the penny in his hand is so tightly grasped that he can't break free at all!

At that moment, Charon felt the deep malice from this pair of dogs!

His teeth were itching with hatred, wishing he could use a penny to fork them all into the River Styx.However, the reality is so cruel, he can't beat them at all, not even as strong as Poseidon in grabbing pennies!

Charon never thought that there would be a god who would make him so aggrieved!At this time, the strong man with a height of nearly two meters was sweating profusely because of a penny, and he was wronged like a child weighing two hundred catties.

Then, he heard Poseidon say: "Why are you pulling so hard? Wouldn't it be good to give you a chance to make money? I paid for the old man's boat. You take him and we cross the river together, aren't we?" Save time and effort?"

Charon was stunned, he didn't expect Poseidon to give him money.

One silver coin is really not much...

However, the Emperor of the Sea would actually abide by the rules of their underworld?

This is... too un-Poseidon!

Although Charon had never met Poseidon before and didn't know much about his deeds, according to the gossip he heard, Zeus, the king of gods on Mount Olympus, and Poseidon, the king of the sea in the Ocean River, could be They are not good male gods to get along with. They are very powerful, so they also care about power very much, and they usually put on airs very much.But looking at the Sea Emperor in front of him, it seems to be different from the rumors?

Charon hadn't come to his senses yet, the white-haired undead had already chased to the front of the boat.

Poseidon waved at him and said, "Come on, we'll give you a ride."

Undead's body is very light, and he doesn't feel tired after running for a long time.He has been wandering by the River Styx for five months, he thought that he had gradually forgotten all the emotions when he was a human being, but now he felt the feeling of ecstasy filling his heart and dizziness for a long time.

"Thank you, good man, thank you very much!"

The undead said tremblingly, he finally got what he wanted, and for a while he didn't dare to step on Charon's boat.

"Come up."

Poseidon stretched out a hand and looked at the poor undead firmly.

He didn't realize that Amphitrite was also looking at him, her eyes were focused, and she couldn't hide the love in her eyes.

The only one who found this ambiguous was Charon: "..."

Really blind!

Charon turned his head away, not wanting to see the pair of dogs.He reluctantly acquiesced in allowing the undead to board the ship, and sure enough, he got a silver coin from Poseidon.However, this silver coin wasn't enough to cheer him up. He propped up the boat with a sleepy look, as if he was full of dog food.

The three people on board did not pay attention to the mood of the boatman.The white-haired undead once again expressed his gratitude to Poseidon. He hated that he had no possessions at the moment, otherwise he would definitely take out all valuable things and give them to the two kind-hearted young men in front of him as a reward. .

Charon was busy punting the boat, but he still did not forget to listen to them.Hearing the undead's warm tone, one by one "young people" called the supreme ruler of the sea world, he couldn't help but sneered: "What young man, this is Poseidon, the emperor of the sea!"

Sea Emperor Poseidon!

For the undead, this is undoubtedly a strange and distant name.He had heard him from bards and seen him in the temple of the Sea Emperor, but he never thought that the real Sea Emperor Poseidon was far younger, handsomer, and more merciful and forgiving than the idol. .

The undead knelt tremblingly, expressed apology for his rudeness, and once again extended his most sincere thanks to Poseidon.

He thanked Poseidon, did not ignore Amphitrite beside him, and asked awkwardly: "Your Majesty, may I ask who is next to you...?"

Charon glanced at him and thought he was stupid!Poseidon, the king of the sea, and the blue-haired male god are very intimate, and they don't hide their ambiguity with each other. However, how can the majestic sea emperor form a partner with a male god?They are at most a couple of lovers, with no name or distinction, what is there to ask?It's just embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, Poseidon gave the answer generously, which surprised Charon.

"He is Amphitrite, son of Nereus, the sea god, and my companion."

He said they were partners.

There is a difference between a partner and a lover. The former is someone who will be with you for life, while the latter can be separated at any time like duckweed.

Charon suspected that he had heard wrong, or that Poseidon had said it wrong.

However, no.

In Poseidon's words, the word "lover" did not appear, let alone any vague language to cover up their relationship.His attitude is so frank, his brows and eyes are full of clarity, and looking at Amphitrite will turn into lingering love.That is an attitude that can only be had with deep affection.

Charon was stunned, he didn't expect that Poseidon, who is famous for his promiscuity, would fall in love for a male god!

At this time, the sour smell of love became stronger, and Charon's heart was inevitably sour.

... He has been ferrying on the Styx River for thousands of years, when will he be able to ferry his future lover?

After being shown off by Poseidon and Amphitrite, Charon, who has been single for thousands of years, actually wants to fall in love.

Charon was so absent-mindedly imagining the appearance of his future lover, and as for Poseidon, he was talking with the white-haired ghost.

When the undead learned of his identity, he was a little embarrassed at first, and had to think about every sentence for a long time, for fear of offending the gods.However, Poseidon's attitude was too accommodating, and his smile was very contagious. Driven by him, the undead gradually let go of their restraints and talked more.

As for Amphitrite, he never liked to talk in front of outsiders, so he silently listened to the conversations between lovers and undead.

His lover is really curious, he thought.He is interested in everything, whether it is food, clothing, or famous scenic spots in the human kingdom, he will ask about it.

What softened Amphitrite the most was that every time he asked about something he was interested in, he would ask him how he felt and if he wanted to watch it together.He is always in his plans.As if they were born to be with each other and never be apart.

After opening the chatterbox, Poseidon and the undead became more heated.

Charon doesn't quite understand, how can the majestic Sea Emperor deal with the undead?However, in the 21st century, Poseidon is like this.He has nothing to say in front of young people, and he commits social terror very badly, but in front of elders, he is often popular because of his sweet talk, which can be regarded as one of his innate skills.

It was rare that the undead was considered rich when he was young. He had been to many places and seen many scenes, and he talked endlessly with Poseidon.Speaking of the latter, the undead inevitably mentioned his poor life after losing his wealth and his original social status.He didn't want to say more about such frustrating things, he only talked about the sunny part of his life-the warmly furnished cabin, the clear and clean stream in front of the cabin, and the woman who never left him in the cabin, his wife.

When mentioning his wife, the eyes of the undead were filled with fragments of light.It is said that no matter how sincere love is, it will be diluted by firewood, rice, oil and salt in the end.However, under his eyes, the twinkling stars seemed to still be in the passion of youth.

Poseidon was also moved by the light in his eyes, happy for their happy life and sad for their misfortune.

"...Then, she fell seriously ill."

The voice of the undead sank, like a piece of dead wood making a muffled sound under the impact of running water.In his eyes, the dazzling brilliance gradually faded: "She said, she didn't want to drag me down, so let her go well. She heard that after crossing the River Styx, the undead will go to a gray plain, where the It is called the Land of Periwinkle Flowers. She will wait for me there... In the Underworld, she will marry me."

At the end, the undead choked with sobs, and his eyes were moist.

After saying those words, his wife left him with deep reluctance.His heart was so sad, it seemed that his heart was filled with soft cotton, and his heart was sore and swollen, but when he pressed it with his hands, he felt empty in his heart, the person he had promised to be with him for a lifetime ...is gone.

He no longer lived alone in the wooden house, he sold the house, dragged his old body to find a job, borrowed money in advance, raised a silver coin, and put it in his wife's arms.He didn't want her to go to the underworld, and even make trouble for a silver coin, wandering on the banks of the River Styx.

Then he went on to earn another silver coin for himself, hoping to cross the river Styx smoothly and remarry with his wife in the underworld.But he died of exhaustion before he could earn his second silver.

"...The owner of the barrel shop hasn't given me my salary for the day yet."

The undead said, with a bit of frustration in his tone.

Charon was speechless after hearing this, he was considered greedy, but he didn't expect this old man to be more fussy than him!

Just as he was slandering, he saw the undead's eyes shining, and said again: "But I'm very lucky, isn't I, I didn't raise enough silver coins, but I only waited for five months by the Styx River before I got your money." Help! I'm finally going to see that naughty old woman, I'm finally going to see her again..."

As he spoke, his tone changed from excited to low-key, but there was deep affection hidden in that low-key, which could not be ignored.

Charon: "..."

After hearing the story of the undead, Charon suddenly felt a little worried.He seemed to be going too far, calling him a poor old man all the time, no matter how much he begged, he refused to take him across the river... In fact, this old man really didn't have any bad intentions of being cheap, he just wanted to see him soon his lover.

This kind of feeling is... so touching.

Charon sniffed, indulging in the emotion, which did not affect his rowing skills.There was no wind or waves along the way, and they soon reached the other side of the Styx River.

He moored the boat and looked around to see if there was really an old woman waiting for her in the land of periwinkle.However, Senleng's gate of hell blocked his vision, and he didn't see anything.

"Okay," he coughed lowly, and looked away: "Stop talking, you've arrived at the shore."

The author has something to say: Charon, a competent boatman, was finally defeated by the dog food of two couples, one old and one young _(:з」∠)_
