Ghosts and Knights [Rebirth]

Chapter 12 Underworld Hell

"Thank you." After finally getting off the boat, not only Cynthia, but even Lanza breathed a sigh of relief. There was no way, that Karon seemed to like kicking people down the river of resentment, so along the way, Lanza was also very nervous.

"You're welcome, anyway, I also received a fee. People who run errands for Hades never live long, oh, yes, it shouldn't be said that they don't live long, they are already dead anyway, but you should be careful, I hope next time I can still see you." Caron smiled and blew a kiss to Lansa, turned around while supporting the boat, and disappeared in the dense fog in the blink of an eye.

"Master, I'm sorry." Cynthia held Lansa's hand, and led Lansa into a large expanse of fire beside the Resentment River.The road to hell in the underworld is extremely difficult, and if you are not careful, you may turn off the road. To ensure that Lansa does not get lost, holding hands is the safest way.

"What kind of flower is this?" Lansa looked at his hand, frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, followed closely behind Cynthia, stretched out his hand and flicked off the white light spot on a flower, and the light spot was flicked He got up, rolled twice in the air, then stopped unexpectedly, and even jumped twice.conscious?Lanza's eyes widened in surprise.

"Soul-guiding flower, together with these souls, guide the way forward for the undead." Regarding Lansa's question, Cynthia must have an answer.

"So that's it." Those white spots of light turned out to be souls, no wonder they were conscious.Lanza thought it was interesting, and stretched out his hand to brush over a piece of red flower, instantly startling a large number of light spots, hundreds of light spots jumped up into the air as if frightened, moving actively, shining like stars Shiny, and set off against the large expanse of fiery red below, the scene is very beautiful.

"Lanza likes it?" Cynthia heard the voice behind her, and saw the splendid scene when she turned her head. She was slightly taken aback, and then looked at Lanza with some doubts.

"It's okay." Lanza withdrew his hand.

"It is said that the reason why the flowers in this flower field are blood-red is because the seven kings of the underworld were drenched in blood during the battle with the gods, and they are so coquettish after being soaked in a large amount of blood." Cynthia knew that Lansa was not very He likes death and blood, even if he has lived in the ghost domain for thousands of years, he still can't get used to it, but he didn't intend to make Lansa unhappy, Cynthia just wanted to let Lansa know that there is nothing worthy of praise and love in the underworld Everything is dark and filthy.

"It turned out to be alive. I thought there were no living things in the underworld." Lansa was taken aback, then chuckled.Is it because it has inherited the lives of so many people that it blooms so coquettishly?

"Oh, Lansa is also a strange person." After hearing this, Cynthia turned her head to look at Lanza, then turned her head and continued to lead the way.

"Will it?" Lanza still smiled.

"Follow me closely, this maze is huge and it's easy to get lost." Walking out of the flower field, Cynthia kept walking and led Lansa directly into the maze.

"There are so many tricks." Obviously Pluto asked him to come, so can't we give him a shortcut?Going on like this, I don't know when I will find Pluto, can I go back before dinner?Lansa curled her lips helplessly, not looking at the road or remembering the road, but just following Cynthia.

"Is there any more?" Lansa didn't know how long it had been. In short, the monotonous walls around him had made him dizzy, and he was led out of the maze by Cynthia. Cynthia said that they would reach hell in this way, and Lanza was also relieved. But after walking through a barren open space, a river suddenly appeared in front of him, Lansa raised his forehead, feeling a little impatient.

"This is the Wangchuan River, there is no danger." Cynthia turned around and led Lansa directly onto the stone bridge over the small river. Blocking Cynthia, they all saluted Cynthia respectfully, and let her go so easily, "Everyone in hell knows me, so it doesn't matter." She is a hell butterfly, the hell butterfly of Pluto, who transmits news and serves specific people. Leading the way, she always does this kind of work, so all the gatekeepers who hang cards on the road from the gate of life and death to hell know her. Except for Caron who will play tricks on her, the rest will not trouble her. Those who came with her will naturally not be troubled.

"How long?"

"Master, please be patient a little longer." There were no more roadblocks on the rest of the road, and Cynthia pulled Lansa to speed up her pace.

Lanza pouted, and could only follow Cynthia forward.This time, they didn't go far, and the two of them stepped into a huge and magnificent palace. Although it was magnificent enough, there was not even a ghost in the empty palace. There are also some grotesque sculptures, which make people feel a little frightened. Every few steps, Lansa can see a closed door. Blowing out from behind those doors, the weird feeling made Lansa shiver.

"Slow to death!" Finally, they came to a solid gold carved gate, and when the gatekeeper saw Cynthia and Lansa, he stretched lazily, and then gave Cynthia a sidelong glance.

"Don't let Pluto see your three heads. If he accidentally cuts off two heads, you will be in trouble." Cynthia also gave him a sideways glance, then pulled Lansa, and pushed the door open without even knocking. Then he walked in with his head held high.Although the watchdog of hell is a three-headed dog, Pluto doesn't like the deformity of its three heads very much.

"Thank you." Lansa just said hello to the three-headed dog guarding the gate, and was pulled away by Cynthia. Lansa was a little surprised by Cynthia's haste and vague displeasure.These two seem to be very wrong.

"Why did you come here?" On the main hall, there were two men playing chess, one of them was the Pluto who summoned Lansa to come here.

"Pluto, High Judge." Cynthia bowed to the two of them first, and pulled Lansa to salute together, and then said again, "Master Hades, have you forgotten? I am a hell butterfly, I can only Open the door of life and death, and walk all the way here from the door of life and death, I think my master and I are already very fast." Cynthia's tone was generally respectful, but she was slightly dissatisfied with Pluto's forgetfulness.

"But Lanza has the ability to open up shortcuts, doesn't he?" Pluto and Grand Judge Roverko turned their heads to look at Lanza at the same time, with some doubts.

"Excuse me, when did I have the ability to open up a shortcut from the world to hell?" Lansa raised the corner of his mouth with a pleasant smile, but the three people present felt it, and Lansa was angry.

"Hahaha, Lansa is the one chosen by Lord Pluto. You can solve this trivial matter by yourself?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the chief judge laughed dryly and gave Lansa a friendly smile.

"I'm sorry to disappoint the High Judge, Lansa is naturally dull." Lansa raised his brows, and his smile became brighter, but Lansa didn't notice that blue flames suddenly ignited on the tips of his silver-white hair , although the blue light was tiny, it made Pluto and the Grand Judge all change their faces.

"Master?" Cynthia also noticed Lansa's anger and called out in doubt.For Cynthia, who was used to the appearance of Pluto and the Grand Judge, this was not something to be angry about.

"Huh?" Lanza lowered her head, and the flame at the tip of her hair went out instantly.

Pluto and Grand Judge looked at each other and agreed that they should re-evaluate Lanza.Ghosts that have the ability to resonate with emotions and respond are very powerful. Ghosts are not subject to any constraints. They are as fearless as the monsters in Sunless City. The intense ups and downs of desire, greed, and laziness will affect their abilities. When emotions run wild, they will also drive power to run wild, which is a very powerful and destructive force.At present, the only people in the Underworld who can perfectly coordinate power and emotion are the Seven Kings of Sunless City and Pluto, and now, Lansa has also shown such an ability, which makes people feel palpitations while being surprised.

There was nothing wrong with Lansa's face, and Lansa's anger completely subsided for some reason. Cynthia shook her head, then turned to look at Hades again.

"There are evil spirits escaping from the ghost domain." Pluto, who was still sitting in front of the chessboard, flirted with the judge, then turned his head to stare at the chessboard and began to think. The judge nodded slightly, then raised his foot and continued walking towards Lansa.

"Isn't it every day?" Lansa raised his eyebrows.Calling him here just for this useless reminder?Pluto doesn't seem to do such superfluous things, so it means that the escaped ghost is a little special?

"It does happen every day, but they are nothing to be afraid of. Some of them can even wipe out human beings, but this time the ability to escape is comparable to yours." It's a headache, the increased workload has taken up a lot of his personal time, leaving him no time to have fun, life is really boring lately.

"Hmm..." Lansa frowned slightly, and thought for a while, "Excuse me, how high is my ability?"

"Uh... on par with an evil mage." Can't tell Lanza truthfully that his ability is almost surpassing Hades?In that case, would they still have a way to control Lanza?Well, their current relationship with Lansa is not about controlling and being controlled. If Lansa really doesn't want to "do chores" for Pluto, none of them can do anything about Lansa. Lansa must have realized this to some extent. ?

"Evil mages? I haven't seen them before." It seems that all the evil mages are gathered in Sunless City, right?Pluto also has a few under his command, but there is none in the ghost realm where he lives.

"In short, in the human world, only you can subdue this evil spirit that escaped. Of course, if you keep maintaining your current strength and don't improve, you may be eaten."

"So, Pluto wants me to kill him?" Is his ability level so difficult to assess?Or should I keep it a secret from him?The arc of Lanza's mouth widened.

"No, Pluto hopes that you can bring the other party back, and hell will be responsible for the subsequent judgment and punishment."

"Isn't Pluto not meddling in the affairs of Huangquan?" Lansa raised his brows lightly, looking at Pluto with some doubts.

The chief judge was taken aback for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Pluto.Lord Pluto, did you say that to Lanza?Now that I said it, why didn't you let me know in advance?

"This...special situation should be treated specially." Lord Pluto, do you want to consider solving this matter yourself?When I saw Lansa from a distance before, I always felt that Lanza was a careful and caring person, who would not ask too many questions, or would not say anything even if he knew something, but now it seems that as long as his own safety is involved, there is no need to People will be considerate to others!

"Since it's such an important person, why don't you go and bring it back yourself?" Lansa pouted.Such a troublesome family dispute, can you not ask him to do it?Does he look so relaxed?Or did Pluto let him return to the world in the first place for this matter?Lanza looked at Pluto and the Grand Judge suspiciously.

"According to the Mandate of Heaven, in order to maintain the balance of power in the Three Realms, people from the heaven and underworld are absolutely not allowed to appear in the human world and use their power."

"What about me? Am I not from the underworld?"

"The ghosts in Huangquan are a special case. You are not people who died according to the destiny, but those who violated the destiny. You still have unfinished business in the world."

"Something against the destiny?" Lansa frowned.

"Although it is said that there are no rules and no rules, there must always be some oddities within the radius." The chief judge thought that he was inscrutable.

"Odd numbers? For what? Enliven the atmosphere?" Wouldn't it be easier to command and manage if there were no odd numbers in the surrounding area?And why do you have to let this odd number appear?

"Uh... so to speak." This Lanza is really different from what he imagined.The judge had a headache.In this hell, no one will ever raise any objection to Pluto or his orders, whether out of reverence or submission to power, everyone here is obedient, there will be no questioning at all, let alone resistance So I suddenly ran into a thorny head who could ask questions, and the judge said that his brain power was exhausted.

"What benefits can I get?" Lansa thought for a while, then looked at Pluto who had been silent all this time.

"Benefits?" The chief judge was taken aback, and looked at Lansa in surprise.It's really fresh, and it's the first time someone has negotiated with Pluto for benefits.

"What? No? I'm going to take all kinds of risks to help Pluto bring back the evil ghost who ran away from home. Don't you even have any rewards?" Without rewards, it's very boring.Lansa curled her lips, with a look of "you are stingy".

"What do you want?" Pluto finally turned his head to look at Lansa, his cold voice was full of majesty, "Wealth, status, glory, what do you want?"

"Uh... is there anything more meaningful?" Wealth, status, glory?If he wanted these things, wouldn't he fight for them himself?Do you need to change your life?Well, he was dead, but it was because he was dead that he was more cautious, because if there were any troubles this time, he would be wiped out and completely disappeared in this world.

"More meaningful?" Pluto and the Grand Judge looked at each other again.Lanza's values ​​seem to be different from those of the humans and undead they encountered. "It seems that you don't know what you want. If that's the case, I'll make you a promise."

"Promise?" Lanza looked directly at Pluto, thinking.

"Yes, promise, as long as you don't violate the rules of destiny, no matter what you ask, I will do it for you."

"Okay, it's a deal." Lansa smiled with narrowed eyes, and agreed decisively.In any case, Pluto is one of the gods with a godhead, and it is quite a bargain to get a promise from God.

"Then, bring him back alive." Hades waved his sleeve, and a black mist rose around Lansa and Cynthia.

"Lanza obeys." With a playful smile, Lansa and Cynthia disappeared into the black mist.

"My lord, Lanza..." The judge turned to look at Pluto, a little worried.

"It's okay." Worried that Lanza will make some rude demands?No, Pluto is not worried at all, because he believes that the promise he made to Lansa will not be used on himself.

Love is really an emotion that can make people crazy, and they are all crazy people for love.
