Greece brings evildoers
Chapter 255 Do you want my soul?
After an unknown amount of time, a slight stinging pain came from the back of his neck, awakening Lorne's consciousness from chaos.
"Where is this?"
He shook his sore head and looked blankly at the dull and simple room in front of him.
"My bedroom."
A low voice came, and Hades, who was pruning the branches of a potted plant, put down the scissors in his hand and looked up at Lorne in front of him, with a trace of approval in his eyes.
"I was only unconscious for two hours, which is not bad."
When Luo En heard this, he suddenly became alert and cursed secretly in his heart.
He remembered that he was knocked unconscious and arrested by this old boy.
But fortunately, he drew on Thetis's experience every time he took action, and was used to putting more than ten or twenty disguise magic spells on himself.
Although Hades's divine power shock destroyed most of them, he still retained a few of the most critical spells, and the blessings given to him by the Goddess of Memory and the Nine Muses also had the characteristic of distorting cognition. .
Therefore, there is no need to worry that Pluto will be able to recognize him in the crowd in the future.
"What are you doing? If you want to call me, just say it casually. How can I refuse?"
Lorne rubbed the aching back of his neck, got up from the ground, took the initiative to show weakness, put on a resentful look and complained, and at the same time asked Hades's intention of kidnapping him.
"If you have any orders, just tell me. As long as I have the ability to do it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Hades glanced at the prisoner who was close to him and went straight to the point.
"It's simple, hand over my daughter."
Lorne suppressed his smile and looked helpless.
"I'm afraid this won't work. I promised Her Highness the Queen of the Underworld to take Princess Melinoe away safely."
"Leave, where to go? The human world?"
Hades snorted and asked, then glanced at Lorne with disdain.
"The underworld is her home! I am her father, and it is not for outsiders to interfere in my family affairs! What's more, I am still a living person of unknown origin!"
Obviously, unlike Persephone, the old father of Hades, Hades does not trust Lorne, an outsider, and is not willing to entrust his daughter into his hands.
"Your Majesty, I would like to reiterate to you that it was the Queen's decision to take Princess Melinoe out of the underworld. I have no intention of offending, I am just doing my best to repay the kindness that the Lord has shown me."
While clarifying his position as a third party, Lorne took out the eclipsed Horn of Plenty and weaved a touching story with half truths and half lies.
"You must also know what happens to a living person who rashly breaks into the underworld. Fortunately, I met the Queen of the Underworld. She not only guided me out, but also helped me get rid of the death energy on my body. The artifact of life.”
"She is actually willing to do this for you?"
Hades frowned deeply when he heard this, and strong doubts emerged in his heart, and then his eyes towards Lorne gradually became strange and gloomy.
I have to admit that the young boy in front of me is handsome and very attractive to the opposite sex.
If that's the case, there's nothing he can say to stay!
Lorne didn't seem to notice the murderous intent in His Majesty Pluto's eyes. He was just immersed in some memories of the past, with a touch of bitter sadness between his brows.
"Maybe it's because I called her 'Mother'?"
The unexpected answer made Hades slightly stunned.
Lorne came back to his senses, quickly restrained the fragile emotions that were "accidentally" exposed, and opened his mouth to explain.
"To tell you the truth, I have lost my mother since I was a child. After learning that the underworld is the home of all the dead, I thought that one day I could find her here and reunite with her."
Hades listened with rapt attention and subconsciously asked: "Then have you found it?"
"She's gone..." Lorne shook his head with a wry smile, the sadness on his face getting a little thicker.
Hades couldn't help but be silent for a while, and the vigilance and hostility in his eyes towards the person in front of him had unknowingly turned into a trace of pity.
To say "absent" in the underworld means that the mother has completely disappeared into ashes.
After all, not all souls are so lucky to be able to retain their original form and memories intact and enter the underworld to await judgment and rebirth.
"Fortunately, fate favored me after all."
But then, Lorne smiled, took the initiative to break the somewhat depressing atmosphere in the palace, and continued to talk about the past.
"When I was desperate, I met the Queen of Hades. Her back looked very much like the mother I remembered, so I shouted something out of nowhere. She seemed very happy. She not only saved me, but also helped me escape from Hades. go out."
After saying that, Lorne saw Hades's still gloomy expression, and he immediately raised his hands and swore as if he was afraid that the other party would not believe him.
"I guarantee that everything I said above is true. If there is even half a lie, please let the Styx River punish me!"
The figure stood quietly waiting, and the Styx River that guarded the oath did not cause any strangeness in him.
Seeing this scene in front of him, Hades' doubts disappeared.
It was obvious that what this boy said was true.
Of course it's all true.
However, these are only part of the truth...
Lorne, who had once again completed the deception, muttered with a secret smile, turned to look at Hades solemnly, and spoke sincerely.
"Although the Queen of Hades did not express anything, I have already regarded her as my other mother in my heart! Of course, this is just my personal idea, and I definitely do not mean to offend you."
Hades nodded slightly in silence, his expression quite complicated.
He probably understood why his wife was so fond of the little guy in front of him.
The reason was the word "mother".
If there had not been the accident in the Titan War, the child named Zagros would probably have grown up to be like this now.
One is a child who lost his mother, and the other is a mother who lost her child.
The chance meeting connected them to each other.
Thinking through and sorting out the ins and outs, Hades sighed softly, looking at Lorne with a touch of tenderness, and actually took the initiative to comfort him.
"No problem, this is your blessing..."
"Well, I think so too."
Lorne nodded, and then spoke sincerely.
"So, after I recovered from my injury, I went to the Hades again, wanting to secretly visit the Queen of the Underworld, but I didn't expect that she would encounter troubles that she couldn't solve, and I could actually help her."
Hearing the joyful sigh, Hades couldn't help but frown and sneer.
"No need! I can solve my daughter's problem myself! Hand her over, and you can leave. I won't pursue your private entry into the underworld!"
"Can you solve it? Maybe?"
Lorne shook his head, looked at the King of the Underworld meaningfully, and spoke faintly.
"If you can really be a support for them, why would the Queen of the Underworld entrust the Princess to me, an outsider who has just met twice?"
Hades heard this, his face was overcast, and he couldn't help but be furious.
"How dare you!"
"I'm just stating the facts!"
Lorne was fearless, withstanding the surging divine power around him, looking directly at the angry Lord of the Underworld, and spoke unceremoniously.
"I have heard the general situation from the Queen of the Underworld.
Even if Princess Melinoe is left in the Underworld, by your side, what will happen? Can you refuse the goddess Hecate to come and discipline your disciples and followers? Or can you block the prying eyes of the King of Olympus and the three goddesses of fate?
Besides, you also know the nature of the Underworld. It is just a prison, a place of execution where countless old gods are imprisoned. Once something goes wrong, the first to suffer is the Underworld itself! At that time, even if you take action, it may not end well. Can you protect her for a while and for a lifetime?
What's more, as a father, do you have the heart to let your daughter live in prison all the time, hiding in the shadow all day long, just like the prisoners of Tartarus?"
Hearing the question that hurt his heart, Hades could not help but be furious, staring at the living man who was usurping the throne in front of him.
"Enough! It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"
"How dare I tell you what to do? I'm just thinking about the Queen of the Underworld."
Lorne spoke calmly, but his words were quite sarcastic.
Hades was provoked by this and was immediately furious.
"Shut up, where is my daughter? Hand her over!"
Lorne straightened his chest and said righteously: "I'm sorry! I was entrusted by the Queen of the Underworld to send Her Royal Highness out of the underworld. Without the Queen's request, no one can keep Her Royal Highness, unless they step over my body first!"
"You're looking for death!"
Hades' face was ashen, and he couldn't bear it anymore. His fist wrapped in death energy blasted forward with the force of thunder.
Lorne stood where he was, closed his eyes calmly, and didn't dodge or avoid.
However, the death energy that extinguished life stopped abruptly in front of his face.
Lorne slowly opened his eyes, looked at the fist that had not fallen in front of him, and asked with a faint smile.
"You won't do it?"
"Okay, you've passed."
Hades took a deep look at the other party, snorted coldly and retracted his fist.
His daughter Melinoe was in the other party's hands, and her hiding place was still unknown; his wife trusted this kid and regarded him as half a son.
Even if he wanted to get a quick fix, he couldn't really ignore it and kill this kid with one punch.
Although everything just now was a pretext, it was mostly to test whether this kid was worthy of trust, whether he would betray Melinoe at the critical moment of life and death, and choose to live in a miserable way.
As a result, under his constant pressure, this kid finally stuck to the bottom line and his promise to Persephone.
However, the whole process still made Hades a little unhappy.
Although the questions raised by the other party hit his pain points, he admitted that he was indeed unable to solve them.
But knowing is one thing, and it is a bit too much to take him, the King of Hell, into your eyes to criticize him shamelessly.
If it weren't for his wife and daughter, he would have slapped the man to death.
"Go away, don't let me see you!"
Hades waved his hand and issued an order to expel him, his gloomy face full of dislike for a certain rebellious boy.
However, Loen seemed not to see the disgusted expression of the Hades, and smiled.
"Before you leave, I want to make a deal with you."
"Not interested! If you don't leave, I will throw you out!"
Hades, who was in a bad mood, waved his hand impatiently to refuse.
Faced with Hades' bad attitude, Loen's face showed a brighter smile and he spoke leisurely.
"What if I plan to sacrifice my soul to you?"
Instantly, Hades, who was walking towards the bedroom with his hands behind his back, stopped and turned to look at the boy who said the shocking words in astonishment.
