Volume 19 Chapter 195 Hades's Helplessness
"Sorry, I don't know that you are Lord Ladamantis. Lord Minos is in the Court of Justice, I don't know where Lord Aegos is."
After hearing the guard's report, I nodded slightly and stopped caring about the guard and walked directly towards the Inquisition. Before coming, Pandora had already given me the map here, so I was very clear about the general building location here.
Follow the direction indicated on the map, pass through the long street in front of you and turn to the left, and then walk along the road to the end, you can see a door. This is a very obvious portal, because it is built on an altar-like base. There is nothing behind the door, only a lonely portal like a reduced version of the Arc de Triomphe stands there.
After passing through that portal, I found myself standing on a platform. The platform was surrounded by endless darkness, and even with my dark vision, I could not see through the darkness. In front of the platform, facing the portal was the back door of a building. The reason why I knew this was the back door was mainly because although the building was extremely tall, it had no decoration. The outside was smooth and smooth, a large area of flat rocks. If there weren't monster sculptures on the top of the temple-like building, I might have regarded this thing as a cliff.
After walking into the interior of the building from the door behind the building, the first thing you see is the passage extending to the left and right. According to Pandora, these two passages actually lead to the front hall, so it doesn’t matter where you go.
After I bypassed the passage, I went directly to the front hall of the building. The structure here is very similar to the castle that entered the underworld before. The huge hall seemed to be prepared for giants. Giant stone pillars with a diameter of more than ten meters were arranged neatly on both sides of the hall to support the roof above the head, which was at least one hundred meters high from the ground. On the front of the hall was a row of gates that allowed the dragon to easily drill in and out, and deep in the hall was a step structure that narrowed upwards like a pyramid. At the top of the stairs was a huge office desk, with two fully armed guards of the God of the Underworld standing on both sides of the table. As for the Minos sitting behind the table, I was looking for.
At this time, Minos was flipping over there with a thick notebook. At the bottom of the towering stairs, a guy in ragged clothes and pale complexion was being pressed to the ground by two guards for questioning. Minos above would ask some questions from time to time, and the guy below would be beaten by the guards immediately if he answered honestly.
Because the hall is super empty and there are few people, I was immediately discovered as soon as I appeared on the side of the hall. However, I didn't intend to hide anyway. After seeing the other party noticed me, I took the initiative to walk towards the steps.
If I immediately attack or turn around and escape after being discovered, the other party will take action. However, seeing that I walked over calmly, Minos and the guards did not take any action. After all, my reaction did not look like an invader, and the location where I appeared also shows that I came from the Temple of the Temple of the Underworld behind. Being able to come from there at least means that I entered the dead person in the underworld, otherwise I should have walked in through the front door.
Although the other party did not take action, I did not intend to get too close to Minos. Although I was confident of defeating him, I did not come to fight, and I needed his assistance later. It is not suitable for conflict now, so it is necessary to maintain necessary politeness.
According to the precautions given by Radamantis, I did not go up the steps directly, but walked directly to one of the two guards who were pressing against the dead, and then handed the letter Radamantis wrote to Minos to the guard close to me.
The guards first started to see me approaching, but immediately relaxed and saluted me quickly after seeing the logo on the letter. Then they ran up the steps and delivered the letter directly to Minos.
After seeing the mark of Radamantis in the letter, Minos first looked at me with surprise and confusion, and then opened the envelope and looked. After spending a few minutes reading the content of the letter, Minos immediately stood up and said to the two guards beside him: "You can help me take over for a while."
The two guards immediately nodded to show their understanding, and then said, "Please rest assured, we will try our best to hear every sinner."
Minos nodded, then quickly walked down the steps and waved to me around the side columns and entered the passage I had come before.
"Radamantis is there with you?" Minos asked in a low voice after entering the passage.
I nodded and said, "Pandora and Ares are also with me. They have agreed to join the Frost Rose League. As for the purpose of my visit this time, I believe that Radamantis has explained it to you in the letter."
Minos nodded and said, "In principle, I do not object to joining your Frost Rose League, but Radamantis should have told you that we will not betray Lord Hades. If Lord Hades does not agree to join, we will not be able to join."
I nodded and said, "Pandora has already told me about this. Now I just hope that you and Aacos can act as intermediaries to give me a chance to have a good talk with Hades."
"I can promise you this request, but before that we have to find Eagos first, and it's better to find someone."
"who?"
"Philotes."
"What?" I was quite surprised to hear this name to be honest. However, it was not because of how powerful the character represented by this name is, nor because I had never heard of it, but because Pherotes is actually a god of lust. That's right. Pherotes is a goddess in charge of sexual desire and lust in the Olympus tribe. Her abilities are very alternative, and because her abilities are too weird, she is an extremely unpopular existence even in the Olympus tribe, which is famous for its universal incest. I can understand that Minos asked me to find Aacos, but Pherotes was a little puzzled.
When Minos saw me hearing Pherotes' reaction, he thought I didn't know who Pherotes was, but after he explained a few words, I interrupted him and said, "No need to explain, I know who Pherotes is, but I'm very surprised, why did you call Pherotes this?"
Minos directly stretched out two fingers and said, "One, Pherotes is also an extremely embarrassing existence among our Olympus tribe, so she must support us in the transition to your Frost Rose Alliance."
"What about the second one?"
"The second is that Pherotes is very important to Lord Hades." Seeing me looking at him in confusion, Minos approached me helplessly and whispered: "For this matter, I can tell you this inside story, but you are absolutely not allowed to tell the third person I said." Of course, I immediately swore that I would never tell the third person that he told me about this. After getting my guarantee, Minos asked in a low voice: "Do you know how Lord Persephone became the queen of the underworld?"
I nodded and said, "Victoria is my devil's beloved, so I know a little about you Olympus tribe. I heard from her that Persephone seemed to have been snatched from the underworld by Hades."
After hearing this, Minos nodded immediately and said, "It seems that you do know a lot of things. Lord Persephone was indeed snatched back by Lord Hades, but it is not enough to get it back. Because Lord Persephone did not voluntarily become the queen of the underworld, she was always very cold to Lord Hades at first."
When Minos said this, I immediately nodded and stopped Minos from continuing. In fact, it was easy to guess at this point. Here you can completely imagine Hades as a bandit on the mountain, and Persephone was the noble lady who passed by the mountain and was unfortunately snatched up the mountain to become a wife of the village. In this case, Persephone's attitude towards Hades was naturally not difficult to imagine. It was a compromise that it would be considered a matter of not fighting with her. It would be absolutely impossible to expect her to be able to be a little wife.
When Hades robbed Persephone, he really liked her, so he snatched Persephone back when he was about to become someone else's wife. As Persephone's suitor, Hades naturally hoped Persephone could be obedient to him and be extremely loving to him, but Persephone didn't have much affection for him at first, and later he forced him to rob the underworld, so his feelings were naturally worse. In this case, Hades wanted to get Persephone's love through normal circumstances, which would undoubtedly be a dream. So Hades thought of a more alternative method, which was to let Pherotes secretly catalyze Persephone's sexual desire.
Although ooxx and love cannot be equated, it has to be admitted that most people's love is based on ooxx. If anyone says that they can maintain love with someone without any ooxx activities at all, then congratulations, you have become an immortal and a saint.
Because ooxx has a catalyst and reinforcement effect on love, Hades shamelessly chose to let Pherotes catalyze Persephone on Persephone. As a result, Persephone naturally could not stop Pherotes' special ability and surrendered to Hades. Then, after the two had a physical relationship, and Hades's deliberate plea, Persephone's attitude towards Hades began to improve rapidly. Of course, the premise of this effect was based on the premise that Persephone did not know that he and Hades were the credit of Pherotes. Once Persephone knew that he had been catalyzed by Pherotes' special skills, she probably would have to fight Hades immediately.
For the above reasons, Phylotes was holding Hades' handle in his hands, so if she was present, even if Hades did not agree to change jobs, he would at least remain calm and talk to me until he would not attack me as soon as he came out.
After understanding Minos' meaning, we walked through the space gate together and returned to the space where the Temple of the Underworld was. The process of finding Pherotes was very simple, and this woman was probably bullied by the gods of Olympus. So when she heard that she had the opportunity to transfer, she immediately excitedly wanted to contact Hades for me, which made me feel that she was more active than me! However, although Pherotes found it, Aacos could not find any of them. We walked around all the places he might appear, but we couldn't find anyone at all. In the end, we had no choice but to go directly to Hades' Temple of the Underworld without looking for him.
"You two are here to wait a moment, I'll go in and talk to Lord Hades first." After arriving at the Temple of the Underworld, Minos asked Pherotes and I to wait outside first. After all, Pherotes and Hades are both outsiders, and places like the Temple of the Underworld are not suitable for us to enter directly.
After Minos entered, Pherotes and I waited outside for more than ten minutes. Just when we thought something was wrong, Minos ran out and called us in.
As soon as Pherotes saw Minos coming out, he immediately asked, "Why have you been doing it for so long?"
Minos said helplessly: "Mr. Persephone is inside. It's really hard for us to say this in front of her, so I had to wait for her to leave before reporting to Mr. Hades. Oh, by the way, that guy Aacos is inside."
When Pherotes heard this, he immediately said, "No wonder he couldn't find it after searching for him for a while."
As we spoke, we had already entered the interior of the Temple of the Underworld. After walking through several guards under Minos, we finally entered a huge room. It was unexpected that this was not the kind of living room I imagined that it was like an office. Although most of the gods I met before were treated to me in similar rooms, Hades chose a more special room.
The area of this room is about 200 square meters. The opposite side of the door is a floor-to-ceiling window with a wall. Through the window, you can see the garden outside. It is very beautiful. There is a row of cabinets on both sides of the room, one of which contains books and the other side is a variety of alcoholic beverages. The middle of the room is relatively empty. Apart from a gorgeous set of office desks and chairs, there is only a sofa and a huge black piano that can be used as a bed.
To be honest, this room is like a private bar than an office. If it weren't for Hades, this guy who was more romantic and built the office into a bar, it would be that it was not a reception room but a lounge.
When we came in, the guy Hades was sitting in front of the giant piano playing a music that sounded very depressing. Although I don’t know what the song is, it’s certain that Hades is definitely not a good thing to play this song now.
After we all entered the room, Aacos, who was standing by the door, closed the door, and then he and Minos stood on both sides of Hades' piano, while Pherotes sat on the sofa without hesitation, feeling that she was more casual than the owner here.
Seeing that they all had their own seats, I walked to the center of the room, but I didn't sit down or talk to Hades. I just stood there quietly watching Hades play the piano.
With Hades' strength, he certainly knew the people coming in the room, so he must have ignored me. However, I came to poach the enemy instead of fighting with Hades, so I didn't react too much to his ignorance. Instead, I just looked at him and waited until he finished playing the song he was playing.
After the end of the song, Hades stood up from his seat and turned to look at me. However, he did not say anything. Instead, after looking at me, he walked directly to the back of his table and sat down. Then he took out a small box from the table drawer and put it on the table. After placing the box, he gently pressed the top of the box. A red crystal column immediately popped out from the top of the box and emitted circles of red ripples. It was not until the thing started that Hades suddenly turned against his previous attitude and said to me enthusiastically: "Sorry, President Zi Ri, I really didn't want to show off in front of you just now. It was really..."
Before Hades finished speaking, I asked, "Is there Zeus's eyeliner here?"
Hades looked at me with a little surprise before continuing, "He who can become the middleman of the gods to keep the ring of precepts on his behalf, President Zi Ri is indeed not an ordinary person. But I am very curious, how did you know that I am being monitored, and the person who monitored me is from Zeus?"
I pointed to the box and said, "Although I don't know what it is, there is also an illusion goddess around me. I am quite familiar with this special energy structure used to cover up people's eyes. Since you put this thing out, it must be because you are being monitored. As for the main messenger, Zeus, this is actually easy to guess."
"Is it easy to guess?" Hades obviously didn't understand what I mean.
"Of course." I explained: "With your identity and strength of Hades, there are only eight people in this entire Olympian tribe who can be on par with you. In addition, Zeus is one level higher than you, there are only nine people you really need to be afraid of. If the other party is weaker than you and with your strength and character, he would have killed him directly, how could he be forced to pretend to deceive the other party's eyes and ears? So this person must be one of these nine people."
"But if this happens, there are still nine people who can guess, why do you think it must be Zeus?"
"This is about Pandora." When I mentioned Pandora, I paid special attention to Hades' expression. After I found that he had no abnormal reaction, I said with confidence: "I talked to Pandora about your transfer before I came. Pandora told me about the status of the God of the Underworld in the Olympus tribe. She thought you were a person who valued feelings, so she refused to betray Zeus, but I don't think you dare not betray Zeus because of feelings, so you felt like you were holding a handle in Zeus's hands. Even if my guess was incorrect, you God of the Underworld.
In the current situation, you should have been betrayed the Olympus clan long ago. Even if you don’t seek someone to surrender, at least you will have no problem setting up your own business. If the person who sent someone to monitor your existence is really among the other eight people, given your embarrassing situation in the Olympus clan, even if you don’t directly fight him, you should have another fierce reaction. But you are so comfortable. This shows that you cannot move that person. When your relationship with the Olympus clan is so rigid, you still dare not move, then I really can’t think of anyone else besides Zeus.”
"Yes, your inference is correct. The person who is monitoring me is Zeus." Hades admitted readily after I guessed it.
When I saw Hades admitting, I followed and said, "Since you don't deny this, do you mean I don't have to persuade you anymore? As long as I can solve the problem of Zeus's hostage, you will join us directly?"
Hades nodded and said, "It's not because Zeus threatened me that I've stopped doing it. Every time we fight, we are at the forefront, but we don't have the share of benefits. I don't want to do such an organization here anymore. As for joining you, I can see from you alone the strength of your guild, so there's no problem joining you. I heard that you are still supervising part of the work in the underworld in China, and if I go in the past, I can just help you take this part of the work."
I nodded and said, "That's easy. Now tell me what Zeus is using to threaten you. I'll help you find a solution."
Hades thought for a while and said, "You wait here for a while." After getting my confirmation, he left the room. After a while, he walked back, and there was a woman behind him. I know this woman, Persephone, the queen of the underworld. I have to say that there is a reason why Hades was fascinated by her, because Persephone is really very beautiful. However, I think the biggest feature of her is not her beauty, but the indescribable vitality. As the goddess of spring, wherever Persephone appears, you will feel as if you are in the wilderness of spring, and even the air becomes fresh and beautiful. Compared with the rigid and silent underworld, Persephone's breath is simply another
On the other hand, I guess Hades was probably attracted by this extreme temperament, so he couldn't extricate himself fell in love with Persephone. But if I were Hades, I would definitely choose to marry Pandora instead of Persephone. To be honest, these two seemingly compatible characters can develop a sibling-like relationship. After all, Olympus' body group has always been known for incest. Even if the biological mother and son, father and daughter have a history of intermarriage, it is common for brothers and sisters to develop a pure sibling relationship between Hades and Pandora, which is completely unrelated, has developed a pure sibling relationship between them. This is really surprising.
After entering the room, Persephone looked at me first, then turned her eyes back to Hades, but what she didn't expect was that just as she was about to turn around, Hades suddenly pointed at her neck from behind, and then Persephone collapsed instantly as if a robot had been removed from the battery. If Hades hadn't been prepared, she would have lie on the ground.
Seeing that Hades actually made Persephone faint, Minos and I were both surprised. Hades' reputation for pampering his wife is famous in the entire gods. How could his pampering for Persephone suddenly make Persephone faint?
Just when we were puzzled, Hades had already carried Persephone to the sofa, signaling Pherotes to move aside, and then he put Persephone on the sofa, and then in our puzzled eyes he lifted the clothes behind Persephone a little, and then he saw him scratching the clothes with his fingers, and the clothes were immediately cut into pieces.
After cutting the clothes, Hades pressed the clothes back to Persephone's body and reached out to tear the cut crack widened, revealing a piece of skin on Persephone's back. He saw that a magic circle with a lightning mark in the center was printed on the snow-white and smooth skin like jade.
After seeing this thing, I immediately walked over in surprise and wanted to reach out to touch it. Fortunately, I reached out halfway through my hand and remembered it again. I quickly stopped and turned to look at Hades and asked, "Is that OK?"
Hades nodded, then I pointed two fingers on the lightning chart. After about a few seconds, I frowned and pulled my hand back. "Did you feel it?" Hades asked, looking at my stern face.
I nodded and remained silent for a while before asking, "When did this thing be printed?"
"It has been printed on it since I snatched Persephone back."
"You mean before..."
"No, it was printed when I snatched her."
"You mean you were beaten up by Zeus when you came back from robbing Persephone?"
Hades nodded. "Yes, it was the one I called up at that time."
I then asked, "Is Zeus originally going to hit you?"
Hades shook his head and said, "No, he is aiming at Persephone. Although I tried my best to stop it, I was still printed on it."
"Is this guy Zeus too cruel? Can you do it too?"
"The daughter I gave birth to with my sister wants to get involved. Do you think he can't do anything else?"
Hades's words made me stunned. But then again, Zeus is indeed perverted. Persephone's mother is Demeter, the goddess of harvest, one of Olympus's ten main gods. Demeter is actually Zeus's second sister, and she is also one of Zeus's wife. As for Persephone, he is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. In other words, Zeus, an old lewd, married his second sister, but he also tried to give Persephone, who is both his daughter and his niece.
He joined his wife. But then again, Hades is not a good guy, because Hades and Zeus are brothers, so Demeter is Zeus' second sister and his second sister, and Persephone is his niece. Of course, compared to Zeus's old lewd, even his daughter is not spared. At least Hades turned a corner, and Hades is at least more dedicated. Unlike Zeus, there are almost not many women in the entire Olympus tribe who have nothing to do with him.
Seeing that we had been talking there for a long time, Phylotes, who had been in a state of surprise, finally couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "You two have been talking there for a long time. What is that magic mark?"
"The energy collapse magic array." I said directly to Pherotes.
When Pherotes heard the name, he immediately covered his mouth in surprise. "So...?"
Hades nodded and said, "If it weren't for this thing, why would you think the lifeless Temple of the Underworld become a garden-like existence?"
Minos and the others who heard Hades' words finally understood. Persephone is the goddess of spring. Her mana has certain life characteristics. Because of the energy dispersed magic circle on her back, she could not control her mana at all. As a result, her mana would collapse wherever she went. The biggest feature of her mana was that it would transform the environment and give birth to various plants. As a result, after she lived in the underworld, it became a huge garden.
"So that's it!" said Aegos: "Sir, since this thing is so troublesome, why don't you destroy it?"
Seeing that Hades was in a bad mood now, I replied on his behalf: "The vicious energy dispersion magic array is here. This magic array will continue to cause energy dispersion. At first, it will disperse magic power. This is a little easier, but when the magic power collapses, it will start to disperse the spiritual power. If you let it go, the person who is printed on this magic array will soon die due to exhaustion of vitality. However, if you do not know the trajectory of the magic array and forcefully break the array, the magic array will gather the magic power of the person who is printed on the magic array to repel his energy core, which will impact your soul. In the end, the magic power will be completely lost, and the worst will be destroyed and the explosion will be quite powerful."
To be continued...
