[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

Chapter 38 Uninvited

The Orpheus matter was originally a very good thing. Since Hades came to the underworld, very few undead can be brought out of the underworld.

With Haihou's intercession, Orpheus should be able to bring his wife back to the ground.

But unfortunately, he admitted the wrong person.

In fact, he can’t be blamed. After all, everyone knows that Persephone has become the queen of the underworld. At this time, Meros was covered with a cloak by Hades, and only one head remained, and he didn’t speak from the beginning to the end. When Pusi saw it, he would only think that there was actually some unclear relationship between him and Hades.

And Amphitrite standing next to them, beautiful, elegant, and noble, looks like a completely different level from the maid. Although she doesn't look very indifferent, it doesn't match the ruthless image of the queen of the underworld rumored by outsiders, but She was the only one standing beside Hades, so Amphitrite was naturally regarded by him as the Queen of Hades.

So he thought that it was the Queen of Hades pleading with Hades, and the cold Hades agreed to his request. During the period, Hades lowered his head and looked at Meros, and let him ignore it.

Now he is very grateful to Amphitrite, and all kinds of words of praise pop out of his mouth. Anyway, it doesn’t take much to say some words of praise. He can’t drink his blood and can’t scrape his flesh. It doesn’t hurt. It doesn't itch, as long as he can save his wife, it will be nice to say.

But unfortunately, he admitted the wrong person.

The phrase "Queen of the Underworld" jumped out of his mouth, which directly made Melos blush, not to mention the various words of praise that followed.

Although, externally, the queen of the underworld is "Persephone".

Although, for various reasons, he occasionally needs to disguise himself.

So Orpheus' failure to recognize him was really justifiable, and it really shouldn't be blamed.

If it is Meros who just came to the underworld, then he will definitely not care about Orpheus.

It's a pity that the current Meros...is the Meros spoiled by Hades.

Even though it was declared that the queen of the underworld was Persephone, everyone in the underworld knew it was not. In order to show respect for him, everyone only called Her Highness the Queen of the Underworld, not Her Highness Persephone.

As soon as he heard that Orpheus had admitted the wrong person, he immediately turned black.

But it is impossible for him to jump up and yell at Orpheus that he is the Queen of the Underworld. After all, Orpheus is still a living being, and he will be sent back to the ground at that time, even if he doesn't know about Olympus. What happened to Si, but if he told others about his experience of bringing his wife back, he would definitely talk about the queen.

The queen of the dead is a man, which will definitely alert Olympus.

So he could do nothing but listen to Orpheus praising Amphitrite.

So he was sulking all by himself, turning the fingers that had been playing with Hades into twisting hard.

It's not that Amphitrite didn't see the change in his facial expression. Thinking of the rumors about the indifference of the Queen of Hades that she had heard before, and looking at Melos now, she couldn't help but smile slightly.

She was still a child—Amphitrite didn't know about the relationship between Melos and Demeter, so she really thought that Melos was still a child, and his appearance was the best evidence.

Hades lowered his head and glanced at Melos, and saw Melos bowing his head and ignoring him, looking extremely docile, as if what Orpheus said just now had no effect on him—if he ignored the robe, he would die If you twist your own finger strength.

Over spoiled.

This was the only thought that popped into Hades' mind.

How could this guy act so recklessly when he first came to the underworld?But now...

Hades thought about someone's recent changes and the source of the changes, then turned his head indifferently, and said to Orpheus, "However, you need to abide by one condition."

Amphitrite looked at Pluto and smiled even wider.

When I came to the underworld before, Pluto always looked deserted, but this time...

His eyes swept over Melos who was still bowing his head, and the smile in the corner of his eyes was mixed with a little envy.

This little guy is really...

Unexpectedly, among the three brothers, it was the indifferent elder brother who was the most enviable.

When he first came to the underworld, it is said that many people were watching his jokes. He was obviously the eldest son, and he was the most qualified to sit on the seat of Olympus in terms of power and wisdom, but in the end but……

But now it seems that who is happier, who is freer, and who is better than who is really uncertain.

Orpheus remembered what Hades said, and he could not turn back on the way out of the underworld. When he returned to the earth, his wife could return to him.

Orpheus loved his wife eagerly, and nodded in agreement.

Not to mention the small request of not being able to turn back, even if he was asked to stay in the underworld temporarily, or to exchange his life for his wife's life, he was absolutely willing.

Melos was still not happy, he summoned Gakbel and told him: "Don't let him leave the underworld so quickly."

Gakbel nodded yes.

Melos felt that since the other party made him unhappy, he should also make the other party suffer.

So under the signal of Meros, Orpheus' journey back to the earth will be doubled.

Orpheus, who misses his wife eagerly, knows that his wife is behind him but cannot look back, and his journey back to the ground will be twice as long as he came here. This journey must be very difficult for him.

Melos snorted. Although he was upset, he was not mad enough to leave the other party's wife in the underworld forever, but if this guy turned around, he couldn't blame anyone, after all, they had already warned him.

"Also." Melos said to Gakbel again, "Whether he succeeds in bringing Jean's wife back to the ground or not, I don't want to see him again until he becomes an undead."

When this guy becomes an undead, he can train him hard to make him understand who is the real Queen of the Underworld—well, he just doesn't mind.

Gaxbel nodded, showing that he knew what to do.

"Recently, I sent someone to watch at the door. If Orpheus brought his wife back, someone must have tried their best to get in. The underworld is not just for creatures to come in."

If it wasn't for the queen of the sea to help speak, Orpheus might not be able to bring back his wife. After all, his wife is dead. Amphitrite interceded, and Meros nodded, so Hades would let go, but what about the future? ?

Did everyone think of a way to enter the underworld after hearing the experience of Orpheus, and take away their wives, husbands, mothers, sons, etc.?

So it is still necessary to let people temporarily guard the gate of the underworld, and not let others follow in.

Gakbel nodded.

After Orpheus happily left with Gakbel, Hades and Meros sent Amphitrite off in person.

"Then, look forward to our next meeting." Amphitrite glanced at Hades—probably thinking that Hades couldn't look forward to the next meeting like her—and then turned to Melos.

Melos nodded with a smile.

He didn't say whether he wanted to go to the ocean, but if Olympus was really suspicious, then at least he still had a good place to go, didn't he?

As long as Amphitrite really wants to help him.

Amphitrite left quickly. Looking at the gradually calming lake, Meros smiled, turned around and wanted to leave.

But before taking a step, he was grabbed by Hades.

"Huh?" He looked at Hades suspiciously.

Hades didn't speak. He lowered his head and looked into his eyes. The sharp gaze seemed to penetrate Melos' heart and see it clearly.

Melos pursed his lips and said nothing.

In the end, it was Hades who pressed him into his arms and whispered, "I have wronged you."

Melos slowly closed his eyes, did not answer Hades, but wrapped his arms around his back.

He didn't want to say anything, it would make him look vulnerable, Hades could understand himself, and he was satisfied.

The quiet environment was once again broken by Cerberus' cry, and Meros and Hades frowned at the same time.

The cry of Cerberus did not sound like calling them, but rather like someone had provoked it.

"Go and see." Melos said to Hades.

Hades nodded and led Melos to the door.

And the gate of the underworld is already in chaos, not only Gakbel, Sarkanochman and Akarali are there, even the Thanatos brothers are also alarmed.

At the door, there is a beautiful woman who is avoiding Cerberus' attack. She holds a bow and arrow in her hand and seems to be ready to attack Cerberus at any time.

And beside her stood an undead, already under the control of Thanatos, the undead looked a little confused, looking at the woman and Cerberus, a little surprised.

As soon as Hades saw the girl, he immediately shrouded Melos under his cloak, and Melos felt his ankles heating up without even saying a word—the scepter of Hades was helping him disguise, Since it wasn't the instruction of Melos, then it was Hades.

The person in front of him is related to Olympus, otherwise Hades would never have hidden himself the moment he saw him.

Melos became vigilant, he didn't speak, and leaned against Hades, putting away all his expressions.

Then, he heard Hades say "Stop" coldly.

Cerberus stopped for a moment, but the woman drew her bow and arrow.

Hades frowned: "Artemis, I said, stop!"

Melos' eyes widened instantly.

Artemis!
