Greece brings evildoers

After a day of hustle and bustle, everything in the Garden of Truth is completely silent. The gentle breeze brought the slightest solace, and the screams and howls of the ghosts gradually stopped.

At this time, in the backyard of the trial court.

An old man and a young man sat in front of the stone round table, toasting to each other and drinking, chatting about past events and current affairs in a harmonious atmosphere.

"Areadne and Phaedra okay?"

"Thanks to you, they are all doing well. They have successfully integrated their people into Athens and continued the fire of Crete."

"Where are my sons?"

"The eldest prince and the second prince have taken root in the new territory, but there is no news about the others."

"Well, as expected..."

King Minos nodded, without much so-called sadness on his face.

He did everything he could and gave everyone a fair chance to choose.

As for the outcome, that was the future decided by themselves. There was no need for him, a dead person, to worry about the living.

After a few brief greetings, the old man looked at the clerk in front of him and got down to business.

"So, why did you come to the underworld?"

"Assigned by Aphrodite, the goddess of love, to take away the soul of her little lover Adonis."

Lorne didn't shy away from it. He smiled and answered, secretly passing the blame to the client.

King Minos had a serious look on his face when he heard this.

"Releasing the dead privately and violating life and death is a serious crime!"

"As long as I don't get caught, I haven't done it."

Lorne blinked and looked at the underworld judge with a smile.

"So, can you tell me where Adonis' soul was sent?"

"impossible!"

King Minos sternly refused, then turned over the big book with a black cover in his hand and solemnly reiterated it.

"I will never tell you that the innocent souls of heroes, demigods, and gods will basically enter the Elysée Garden and enjoy eternal peace."

"That's such a pity..."

Lorne shook his head helplessly, but the smile on his face grew wider.

"Okay, then I won't ask. You should tell me how to get out of the underworld, right? As long as a living person like me stays here for one day, I will destroy and blaspheme the order of the underworld!"

"Of course, duty lies."

King Minos nodded, dipped his hand in wine, and sketched the rough lines and outlines of the underworld area on the stone table.

"Starting from the Garden of Truth and arriving at the Elysée Garden, you can use the River Styx to reach the edge of the underworld. There is a crypt called [Arima] there. You can bypass the Hades guards on the front and reach the surface directly."

"The land of Arima?"

Following King Minos' reminder, Lorne suddenly remembered the origin of this place.

Legend has it that after the god king Zeus defeated the demon ancestor Typhon, the place where Typhon fell was called the Land of Arima. It was from here that it broke away from the shackles of the abyss and came to the surface.

It is also mentioned in Hesiod's "Theogony" that the residence of Echidna, the mother of snakes, is far away from the immortal gods and all mortals, in an abyssal crypt called Arima, which is another part of Hades. A door.

Very good, this time even the trouble of breaking out from the front is saved.

Sure enough, Hades made the right move before!

Lorne muttered secretly in his heart, and kept the circuit diagram on the table firmly in his mind. Then he raised his hand to wipe away the wine stains on the table to eliminate the unfavorable evidence of internal and external collusion.

After finishing, Lorne gave a solemn toast to King Minos and stood up from his seat.

"Okay, I'll take my leave now and won't disturb you to continue the case."

"Then it seems I will be able to retry your case soon..."

King Minos twirled the wine glass and added lightly.

"Hypnos, the god of sleep, the three dream gods, and the three goddesses of vengeance are all waiting for you outside."

"Ahem..."

Lorne coughed violently and quickly put down his wine glass with a look of astonishment on his face.

"The Three Furies? The three who live on the primeval ocean?"

"That's right."

"Aren't they an accomplice of Eris? Why did they end up working in the underworld?"

"Of course it's all thanks to Lady Hecate."

King Minos answered seriously and told Lorne about the experience of the three sisters in a concise and concise manner.

Not long ago, Hecate, who was entrusted by Hades, the king of Hades, landed on the earth to investigate the imbalance of life and death. She encountered the obstruction of Eris, the goddess of discord, and the three goddesses of vengeance at sea.

The two sides fought hard, and in the end Eris was plucked of all her feathers and fled.

The three slow-running Furies were restrained by Hecate and thrown into the underworld to serve. They are currently responsible for guarding the borders of Tartarus Hell and torturing the souls of sinners.

After listening to King Minos' explanation, Lorne couldn't help but want to laugh.

Although he guessed that Eris would be dealt with badly by Hecate, he did not expect that it would be so miserable.

Not only was he beaten violently and stripped of all his bird feathers, but even the allies he had managed to win over were taken over by Hades...

Gee, who would have thought that during the Battle of the Titans, this old lady could jump left and right in the battle between the two major gods of Olympus and Othrys?

Now, he is so depressed that even the last bit of his family fortune has been lost.

Others do trouble just to make money out of chaos, but it's better for her. The more trouble she makes, the worse off she will be.

Haha, you had a great time chasing me before, right? Without the support of the three vengeful goddesses, wait until next time we meet to see how I deal with you!

Lorne gloated and taunted as he sat down again and refilled the glasses for himself and King Minos.

Since the three goddesses of vengeance and the god of sleep are waiting for him outside, he must not go out of this door.

For now, he can only hide in King Minos's house and avoid the limelight for the time being. When the guards outside are relaxed, he can consider the issue of running away.

But since he is not in a hurry to leave, he has a question that he wants to solve while he can.

Loen drank a glass of wine, considered his words for a moment, and asked in a deep voice.

"I want to check the information of another person after his death."

"Do you think the underworld is your back garden?! You still want to check it alone? This kind of secret can only be found in the central library of the Inquisition. Don't think I will let outsiders in!"

King Minos snorted with a straight face, then glanced at Loen's solemn expression. After a pause, he put down the wine glass and muttered as he lay on the stone table.

"I'm old, I really can't drink too much..."

As the snoring became louder, a bronze elephant emblem engraved with dense runes rolled down from his waist.

Lorne immediately understood, lowered his head to pick up the bronze elephant emblem from the ground, and quietly moved to the central library under the cover of darkness.

Since the Hades Tribunal was in its infancy, the guards were basically all the God Blood Guards who died with King Minos during the Battle of Crete, so Lorne's infiltration was unimpeded.

Soon, he came to the door of the Central Library and put the bronze elephant emblem into the groove of the door and turned it.

After a moment, a series of light patterns lit up, and the door opened.

Lorne carefully took off the elephant emblem, got into the door, and looked up at the metal modules that were constantly changing in size and shape.

The construction style here is similar to the Memory Temple he has been to. Obviously, the goddess of memory Mnemosyne also contributed to the construction of the Hades Central Library.

No wonder in some mythological records, the underworld also has a place for her.

And this result also happened to give Lorne the convenience of consulting documents.

"Semele..."

He silently recited the faded name in his mind and put his hand on the bronze wall where the metal module was stored.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response on the dim and cold bronze wall.

Nothing can be found...

"What does it mean to be unable to find?"

Lorne returned to the round table, stuffed the bronze elephant emblem back, filled the wine glass for King Minos, and asked in a deep voice.

The old man opposite yawned, stood up as if waking up from a dream, and spoke lightly.

"Death is not the end, chaos and nothingness are the origin of all things, and only the soul of the Lord God has true [immortality]..."

"I understand."

Lorne nodded, and a trace of luck in his heart was shattered.

Sure enough, since the God King chose to take action, he would not easily leave hidden dangers.

King Minos did not say much, let alone ask more, but just stood up and poured a glass of wine for Lorne himself.

"Cheers!"

Lorne raised his glass happily and drank the blood-like aged wine in one gulp, and the coldness in the depths of his eyes became even colder.

It seems that it is not easy to reunite you and your wife, Your Majesty the God King.
