I have a little golden mouth [Greek mythology]

"It's a pity that I didn't meet the queen at the three-pronged crossing today, otherwise the success rate of persuading Hades might be much higher."

After Thanadus gave the warning, Hermes seemed to be calmer on the surface, but he didn't forget to complain that he didn't choose the right time this time.

He didn't know many gods in the Netherworld, and Hecate, the goddess of the moon who was responsible for helping Hades, the king of the underworld, in charge of the three-pronged crossing, was just one of them.

After all, they are also relatives.

Oh, no, it should be said that in the entire Greek mythology, there are almost no gods who are not related.

Her mother is Asteria, the goddess of the starry night, the younger sister of Leto, the goddess of the night, and Apollo's aunt, so the relationship between this goddess and Apollo can also be regarded as a cousin.

Unlike Artemis, the goddess at the fork in the road who helped the leader of Pluto had a good impression of Hermes, at least she would not do anything deliberately difficult.

And because this goddess has great power, not only Hades can listen to her words, but even Zeus, who has always been fickle, dare not have any messy thoughts about her.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than because Hecate, the goddess of the dark moon, also takes into account this part of the power of fate.

The God of Destiny has always been the most mysterious god system.

Thinking about it carefully, in fact, not only Hecate and I have the power of destiny, but also many gods of the underworld seem to have related powers?

Thinking of this, Hermes couldn't help turning his head to look at Thanadus.

The master of death, the son of Nix, the goddess of the night, has the power to cut off the lifeline from the hands of the three milfs, which naturally involves fate.

"It seems that this envoy is not as calm as he appears on the surface. Is it because he is not familiar with the nether environment?"

When Hermes was slandering Thanadus alone, he didn't know that he had also become the object of the other party's secret thoughts at this time.

In fact, Hermes himself did not know that he and Thanadus had met once not long ago.

But at that time, he was busy running on the earth for Zeus' affairs, and the other god of death, who was in charge of cutting off the lifeline of all living beings, just glanced at a young man whizzing past his head in the breeze.

But the memory of the gods is very good, and Thanadus remembered him even though it was only a glimpse.

The gods in Olympus don’t like to come to Netherworld. First, it’s because it’s surrounded by darkness and night, and it’s close to the abyss. Naturally, the environment can’t be called “good”, and there are all kinds of messy monsters, so the general situation The gods of the earth are seldom seen in the Netherworld.

This time, the boy came here and said he was looking for Hades, the king of the underworld—what was it for?

Could it be related to Zeus?

Thinking of this, the stern-faced male god couldn't help frowning.

"Okay, Your Highness, we're almost here."

Just when the two of them were looking at each other speechlessly, Charon, who was originally in charge of rowing, stopped his hands and greeted them at the same time: "Remember to visit again next time!"

When Thanadus and Hermes walked off the boat with many dead souls, the God of Styx, who looked at the ragged clothes, did not forget to wave goodbye to them.

It seems like a joke.

After getting along for a short time, Hermes already has a preliminary positioning for Charon.

If we had always thought that most of the gods of the nether world were as cold and serious as Hades, then after getting in touch with Death and Charon, Hermes felt that his three views had been broken.

If there is no accident, it is estimated that it will not be able to make up.

"Speaking of which, why did you come to Netherworld this time? Could it be that your Father God came up with some new tricks again?"

Because everyone's destination was the ghost city located in the center of the underworld, it was no surprise that Thanadus chose to go with Hermes.

It can be seen that this young God of Death is very interested in the also very young envoy.

"It's not about Zeus, it's about the light-dark imbalance that erupted not long ago."

Facing Danatus' inquiry, Hermes pondered for a while, and picked up some of the things he could say: "Not long ago, because of the negligence of Helios, the god of the sun, the sun chariot crashed. Because of this, As a result, [-]% of the creatures on the earth fell, and I came here this time to deal with the aftermath of this matter."

According to outside rumors, Thanadus, the god of death, and his elder brother Hypnos, the god of sleep, are both capable officers of Hades, the king of the underworld, and they can be called his right-hand men.

Because of this reason, Hermes wanted to communicate with the other party first.

When I really meet that uncle later, maybe I can get a helper when I speak for myself?

With this in mind, the smile on Hermes' face became even more "innocent".

"It turned out to be that thing."

As soon as he mentioned the trouble caused by the Sun God's family, Thanadus immediately recovered his indifferent expression, "Just because of this trouble caused by their family, our workload in Hades has increased by more than five times."

God knows how busy he is these days?

If Helios hadn't acquiesced in Phaethon's driving of the solar chariot and led to this catastrophe, Thanadus, who originally only needed to travel to the earth regularly for a few months, wouldn't be able to keep turning around every day!

"Well, indeed..."

Facing the suddenly cold tone, Hermes was not sure who it was aimed at, so he could only agree with the other party at his discretion.

Just when he was wondering if he was a bit cold, Thanadus suddenly walked a few steps and pushed him, "Get on carefully."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

He staggered under his feet, and could only hold the opponent's arm to avoid falling. Hermes, who came back to his senses, looked at the big hole under his feet, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

What is this?

"Crack of the Abyss."

As if seeing his doubts, before Hermes could speak, Thanadus took the initiative to explain: "Not long ago, there was a change in the abyss. It seems that the exiled Titans were restless again, so it caused Abyssal fissures appear in the Netherworld from time to time."

"It's going to be okay, right?"

As soon as Hermes heard about the Titans, Hermes thought of the suppressed Lord of Light.

Helios is the son of the other party, and Phaethon is the grandson of the other party. Now that these two descendants are plotted by Zeus and others, it is hard to guarantee that Hyperion will not put all his eggs in one basket and do something extreme...

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness Tartarus sits in the abyss, and there are Father God and Mother God watching over it, even if they have great abilities, they can't break out."

Shaking his head, Thanadus didn't look worried at all.

Just as they were talking, they walked to the Nether City.

Looking at the tall and majestic city, Hermes' eyes flashed.

Compared with the last time they came back, the Nether City today is undoubtedly a shotgun change.

It seems that his uncle is indeed a career-oriented workaholic god!

Because of the "living signboard" of Thanadus by his side, it is very convenient for Hermes to enter the process.

Thanadus just said a word, and the God of Hades, who was originally in charge of guarding the city gate, let them go directly.

Therefore, there was no transmission at all, and he, the "God Envoy of Zeus", walked directly into the core area of ​​the Netherworld.

But although it is easy to come in, it is not so simple to go directly to see Hades.

"This is an envoy from Olympus, who came to meet His Majesty Pluto at the order of Zeus, and you are responsible for passing it on."

Speaking to a maid standing at the gate, Thanadus gave Hermes a look, but said, "Is it okay for you to go by yourself later?"

He still has tasks on his side, and there are a large group of human souls to deal with outside, so naturally he can't stay with Hermes all the time.

"Of course no problem."

Nodding his head, Hermes thanked the other party immediately, and then watched Danatus leave here.

Standing outside the main hall, looking at the surrounding environment, Hermes once again felt that the Netherworld really wasn't suitable for gods to live in.

Because apart from the dark gods, all the gods with normal aesthetics usually choose to bask in the sun, not in this dark nether world.

It is true to say so, but in fact, Nether also has its own light source.

That is the Nether Moon in the sky, it is the incarnation of Hecate, the goddess of the moon, and it is also the source of most of the light sources in the underworld.

After staying for a while, the maid came out and brought Hermes into the temple.

"Meet the great Lord of the Nether."

Followed into Hades Hall, and before Hades, who was dealing with the paperwork, opened his mouth, Hermes saluted him, and then said: "I haven't seen Uncle for a long time, to be honest, this time I came to the Netherworld, it's a real pleasure." I have something to ask of you."

It is not difficult to see from the title that Hermes is obviously closer to Hades than to Poseidon.

Before facing Poseidon in the Temple of the Gods, Hermes addressed him as "His Royal Highness Poseidon", but this time when he came to Nether City, he immediately addressed Hades as "Uncle".

One is formulaic and rigid, while the other is called by relatives. It is obvious which is more important.

"For that son of Helios?"

Glancing at him, Hades put down the quill, and at the same time said: "It seems that the task of harvesting souls on the earth is still too easy for you, don't think that you can be so passive and sabotage with His Royal Highness Nix, be careful I go--"

Harvest souls?

What is this with?

"Uh……"

Facing the other party's answer, Hermes was stunned for a moment, then realized, and turned around to see a male god who should have left had returned here again.

"Your Highness, why are you back?"

Regarding Hermes' question, Thanadus shrugged and looked straight at him, as if to say, "Of course it's because of you."

"Okay, if you want to flirt with each other, please go to another place, we are not here for you to talk about love."

When the two fell into honeyed silence again, Momus, the God of Sarcasm, shook his head and opened his mouth with a slightly mocking remark.
