Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 274 The Greek Debt King Appears! (4.9k, 11,000 daily)

In the underworld, a black raven flew through the dense death fog and arrived at a dark temple on the border of Tartarus.

With the sound of flapping wings, Hades, who was pruning the branches of a potted plant, looked up at the little guy who landed on the table, and reached out to take a piece of golden branch from the other's loose claws.

Hades was slightly stunned when his eyes swept across the line of secret text engraved on the golden branch.

After carefully confirming the content several times, Pluto's gloomy face suddenly burst into ecstasy. He quickly threw down the scissors, changed into a brand new outfit, and then turned into a wisp of black smoke, carrying the raven on the table, and flew towards the vibrant garden.

It only took about two quarters of an hour for Hades to reach the destination, and his atomized body returned to its original state and landed on the periphery of the garden.

As if sensing the arrival of the visitor, the fences and flowers in the garden automatically made way for a blank path leading to the depths of the garden.

Hades suppressed his excitement, repeatedly straightened his clothes several times, and after confirming a wrinkle, he continued to move forward along the path.

The forests were shaded, the grass was entwined, and the path was winding. After several turns, Hades finally saw the scenery in front of him.

An elegant and exquisite courtyard came into view, and the gurgling water played a clear and pleasant sound, as if it could wash away the fatigue of the body and mind; the flowers and plants that were carefully tended were planted on both sides of the road, competing for beauty; and in front of the bedroom with the door open, Persephone, wearing a long dress, was standing on the steps, waving to him.

"Are you here?"

"Oh, oh."

Persephone took the initiative to talk to Hades for the first time, which made Hades' CPU a little insufficient. He nodded woodenly and stood there in a daze.

Seeing her husband's dazed reaction, the Queen of Hades sighed, took the initiative to step forward, stretched out her hand to hold Hades' arm, and spoke softly.

"Let's go, go in and sit first."

Feeling the softness in her arms and smelling the fragrant breeze from beside him, Hades, who was used to being treated coldly, was flattered for a moment. Like a puppet, he was led by the Queen of Hades into the house.

As soon as he entered the door, the rich aroma of food rushed into his nose. More than a dozen delicious dishes with good color, fragrance and taste covered the table, which seemed warm and grand.

"The soup is here~"

Accompanied by a high-pitched reminder, a young man with silver hair and purple eyes walked out of the kitchen with a pot of chicken soup and a smile on his face.

Seeing the unexpected figure, Hades, who had been in a downtime state, finally came to his senses and logged in again.

"Lorne? You're here too?"

"I'm here to deliver a message." Lorne nodded and put the chicken soup on the table, and continued to explain, "Melinoe has been away from home for a while, and I've been missing you. So this time I went to the underworld and brought you some news about her, so that you can know the girl's recent situation and avoid worrying about her."

Hearing the sincere explanation, Hades' eyes suddenly became a little softer.

Yes, he still remembers his family, and it's not in vain to entrust his daughter to this kid.

Then, the Pluto, who was in a better mood, looked at the dishes on the table.

"Did you cook?"

"Most of it was Hades..." In the slightly reproachful eyes of Persephone, Lorne quickly changed his words, "...My mother cooked it, and I was mainly responsible for helping."

Hades heard this and looked at his wife beside him in surprise.

——Today, he actually cooked in person and invited him?

"Melinoë is your daughter, you certainly have the right to know about her affairs, so Lorne hopes you can be present as well."

Persephone spoke lightly and directly confessed the mastermind.

Hades heard this and looked at the opposite side with deep joy and touching eyes.

Yes, this son was not adopted in vain! He was really worried about his adoptive father!

"Okay, don't talk so much, the food is cold, let's sit down and eat first."

At this time, Lorne very obediently pulled out chairs for Hades and Persephone, and asked them to sit down, like a filial son who was conscientious and responsible.

With this lubricant, the husband-wife relationship between Hades and the Queen of the Underworld, which had been frozen for many years, gradually became harmonious.

In this harmonious atmosphere, Lorne also sat down, while continuing to warm up the atmosphere under the banner of a family dinner, and catching Hades to praise him fiercely, intentionally or unintentionally revealing the silent efforts of the Hades behind the scenes.

When Persephone heard that Hades was secretly investigating the secrets of Elysian Garden and had let Lorne and her baby daughter go, she couldn't help but look at her taciturn husband a few more times, with a soft look in her eyes. She raised her hand and put a few dishes on Hades' plate, and spoke softly.

"I made it, eat more."

Hades was flattered and almost burst into tears when he heard the tenderness and obvious closeness in his wife's words.

Lorne, who witnessed all this, secretly complained in his heart.

I don't know whether to say affectionate or licking a dog. But with your performance, I guess you will never be able to stand up in front of your wife in this life without my support.

In fact, Persephone's change of opinion of Hades was not easily formed by a dinner party. Lorne can be said to have made great efforts behind the scenes.

Since kidnapping Melinoe, he not only taught his naughty sister how to write letters home and pretend to be well-behaved to make Persephone happy, but he also repeatedly spoke well of Hades in his letters, attaching a series of labels such as "affectionate", "family-oriented", and "honest and loyal" to his adoptive father.

Subtly, Persephone's view of Hades gradually changed.

Lorne was not surprised by this.

After all, to be fair, Hades is not a qualified lover, but he is a qualified husband.

He had been treating Persephone well over the years, to the point of doting on her.

The only black spot was that when he was pursuing Persephone, Hades used some disgraceful methods.

But in Greece, there are many examples of this kind of use of force. It is not a heinous crime at all. It can be easily washed away if you want.

What's more, a certain God King of Olympus was the driving force behind the whole incident.

At that time, Persephone had just suffered the pain of losing her son. In order to relieve her mood, she went to the Onna area with the nymphs in the jungle to pick flowers. The earth goddess Gaia, with the tacit permission of Zeus, caused a narcissus to bloom on the earth. Persephone unknowingly strayed away from her friends while picking flowers. When she was about to pick the seemingly harmless narcissus, , the earth opened, and four black horses appeared pulling the chariot of Hades, the king of Hades. He forced Persephone into the carriage and drove back to the underworld.

Hades had fallen in love with her long ago, and carried out this plan with the acquiescence and help of Zeus.

Because of this, Pluto is willing to stay in the dark world of the underworld, firmly supporting the rule of Zeus and not touching the royal power of Olympus.

The son was killed inexplicably, and after he had been played with, he was given to outsiders as a tool to win over.

Even if Persephone is angry and resentful, under the guidance of a senior PUA master, she will target the real culprit.

In addition, Lorne occasionally brought up the examples of Hera and the Queen of the Sea. Compared with the two, Hades's honest and dedicated character became even more valuable among the brothers.

But this adoptive father is indeed a top-notch boring gourd. Even if Lorne's assists are almost smoking, Hades has a silent attitude of giving, and does not reveal his investigation of the Elysée Garden and the release of his daughter to his family at all. My wife said it clearly.

It was only today that Lorne was able to use this family dinner to formally express his gratitude to his adoptive father.

And the results were obvious. Not only did Persephone not give Hades a cold face during the whole process, but she also frequently provided food and drinks for Hades for the first time, which made Pluto, who was surrounded by a strong sense of happiness, almost think he was dreaming.

Seeing that the relationship between the two had completely broken down, Lorne, who acted as a matchmaker, finally breathed a sigh of relief and talked about Melinoe's current situation at the dinner table.

Speaking of which, the goddess of conspiracy's time on the Ares Mountain was quite nourishing.

On the one hand, without the control of Hecate and the chatter of Hades and Persephone, she could play wildly in the vibrant human world, not to mention how free she was.

On the other hand, because of similar odors, she made friends with Stheno, the female imp Eurielle, and Circe, the evil witch. The four of them formed a group all day long to tease passers-by, or sneaked into the Academy of Athens. They make trouble and are known as the "Four Pests of Athens".

Although the four of them were inevitably caught and beaten by Hestia and Athena after being exposed, they were still enjoying it and seemed to enjoy this interesting life very much.

In addition, the food at Ares Mountain was good, and Melinoe, who was happy and carefree, gained several pounds.

Of course, considering the moods of Hades and Persephone, as well as Melinoe's ass, some words still need to be said.

For example, Melinoe missed them very much and often talked about her parents in the underworld, thinking that one day she could reunite with them as soon as possible.

Hades and Persephone were both happy and sad when they heard this.

As parents, why don't they want to keep their daughter at their knees and live a happy life as a family of three.

But with the goddess of the dark moon around, they could only hide this thought in their hearts for the safety of their daughter.

"Actually, it's not impossible to reunite the family."

Lorne, who had made a long circle to set up the atmosphere, his eyes flickered at this moment, and he could see the picture clearly.

"As long as Hecate can be driven out of the underworld, no one will be able to disturb the peaceful life of you, your mother, and your sister."

"Kick her away? How is this possible?"

Hades was a little unconvinced. He knew the scheming and strength of the goddess of the moon, so he was naturally deeply suspicious of this whimsical plan.

"How will you know if you don't try?" Lorne said seriously, then opened his coat, revealing the increasingly active Hecate Wheel on his chest, and said with a sincere face, "This is not only about whether Melinoe can Reuniting with you and my mother is also related to whether I can get rid of this shackles, so I will do my best!"

Driving Hecate out of the underworld would be equivalent to cutting off her foundation, and it would be far easier to deal with her than here.

Hades understood Lorne's intention, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"Tell me, what do you want us to do?"

Lorne took a deep breath and answered in a deep voice.

"I want to go to the Elysée Garden again to test some of my guesses. If successful, the plan should have an 80% chance of winning."

Hades heard this and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I will send Hecate away tomorrow in the name of a feast."

"I'll come too."

The Ming Queen on the side spoke softly, holding her husband's somewhat rough hand tightly under the table, looking at the adopted son opposite with soft eyes, feeling peaceful in her heart.

At this moment, she has regarded the two men in front of her as a complete support and is willing to be their common support.

Lorne caught a glimpse of the foster mother's little movements under the table, coughed slightly, and stood up to say goodbye.

"Time is urgent, so I'll make some preparations first."

With that said, he waved goodbye to Hades and Persephone and walked out of the garden.

Before leaving, he did not forget to turn around and wink at Hades at the door with a teasing look on his face.

This brat!

Pluto laughed and cursed secretly, then turned to look at Persephone beside him.

Under the slightly flickering fluorite light, the wife who used to be as cold as ice showed a rare tenderness, her beautiful face made people's hearts beat, and her graceful upper body had completely fallen into his arms.

Hades understood immediately, and immediately picked up his beloved wife by the waist, turned around and stepped into the palace, the door behind him quietly closed tightly.

~~

The next day, in the dim Arima crypt, a golden branch of a garden stuck in the ground flickered brightly and dimly.

Sensing the resonance of that special frequency, Lorne suddenly opened his eyes while meditating.

It's time!

Immediately, as usual, he left the fairy delicacies, secret wine and honey cakes he carried to Cerberus at the entrance of the cave to satisfy his appetite. After that, he walked out of the cave and quietly headed towards the Elysée Garden.

Driving is easy and the journey is smooth.

Lorne only spent half the time before, successfully sneaking into the Elysée Garden and finding the ivory door leading to the [Real Dream].

Then, following Hades's teachings, he activated the [Mark of the Dead] on the back of his right hand and placed the divine seal that flashed at a special frequency on the ivory door.

For a moment, the white ivory door swung open into ripples like water, and a bizarre dreamland scene appeared inside.

Ready, Lorne took a deep breath and stepped into the ivory door.

After a familiar feeling of stagnation, he suddenly stood on the dream beach where he landed before.

Only this time, there was no warm welcome from Demon Ancestor Typhon.

Lorne glanced at the calm sea, a subtle smile appeared on his face, reached out and took out the golden Holy Grail in the magic circle, and slowly tipped it over.

A ray of golden-red divine blood poured onto the beach and sea water under his feet, and then spread out.

In an instant, waves of turbulent waves arose on the originally calm sea, and evil beasts turned into typhoons gathered and roared; lightning flashed and thundered in the blue sky, and eyes composed of stars cast their gazes; there were constant roars under the earth, and each one resembled a The giant's mountain began to shake violently...

The entire dead world seemed to come alive in an instant.

Facing the ensuing visions, Lorne smiled playfully, tilted the golden Holy Grail in his hand slightly, revealing the golden-red divine blood flowing in the cup, and spoke leisurely.

"Want it?"

Suddenly, the typhoon stirred up furious waves, nebulae tore through the sky, and cracks opened in the earth...

Different visions express the same indescribable desire.

Seeing this violent reaction, Lorne's suspicion was confirmed.

Sure enough, he and Hecate had the same [possibility]. If Hecate could do it, he could theoretically do it too.

For example, awaken these old gods from their slumber and give them the opportunity to return to the living world.

And precisely because of this particularity, he was targeted by Typhon who was not yet asleep as soon as he landed in the dream world.

At this moment, as the divine blood containing chance was spilled, the prisoners who sensed this aura became excited and frantically gathered towards Lorne on the beach.

"Don't worry, Hecate is still there, it will be useless even if you eat me alive, not to mention whether I can eat it or not is another matter."

After hearing the warden's divine name and the well-founded analysis, the originally agitated consciousness calmed down slightly, but the strong unwillingness still condensed and boiled in the entire dream world.

"Let's do this, lend me some of your strength and divinity, and I will find a way to help you deal with her and rescue you from this predicament."

"..."

The old gods, who each had little sense of autonomy left, collectively fell into silence.

When Lorne saw this, as if he felt humiliated, he tore off his coat, revealing the shining wheel of Hecate, angrily proving himself.

"Don't believe me? I have a grudge against her too!"

"..."

However, the old gods still did not respond, obviously not believing in each other's credibility or ability.

Lorne, who suffered successive setbacks, became heartbroken and finally made a fierce announcement.

"Forget it, let me guarantee the head office with my soul, right? I swear to the Styx River that I will try my best to rescue you. If I cannot fulfill my promise or die on the way, my soul and the rest of my body will Divinity belongs to you!"

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

In an instant, the originally dead dream world began to boil again.

The old gods who saw hope one by one rushed to express their attitude and make a contract with the intruder in front of them.

Success, they can break free from this never-ending dream;

If they fail, they can still get the glimmer of [possibility] that allows them to escape.

It’s not a loss no matter what, let’s do it!

Seeing the excited seniors rushing over to lend money to him, Lorne raised his hand and pressed down, with a warm and bright smile on his handsome face.

"Don't worry, come one by one, everyone will have a share."
