This was the Santu River in front of the first prison that Seiya and the other saints had passed through in the anime. He remembered that the person who ferried on this river was Karon, who would only send rich souls across the river, while the poor souls could only wander by the river. I don't know if he will send me, a living person, across the river. If I refuse, I can only use the Illusionary Demon Emperor Fist.
A song suddenly came from the endless river. To be honest, the tune was not beautiful, and there was nothing special about the voice. It was just that there was a casual and carefree tone to the song that made it difficult to hear the lyrics. I know, the boatman is here. Some people might ask, why would Pandora awaken this planet, which was at most as powerful as a low-level silver star, instead of other more powerful demon stars? In fact, although Karon was not strong, his duty was very important. All the ghosts that wanted to enter the underworld had to be ferried across the river by him. If he was not around, the banks of the Santu River would probably be filled with the souls of the dead, while the hell would be empty.
When I saw him come to the shore, I smiled and asked," Excuse me, can you take me across the river?”Karone sized me up and said," If I carry a living person across the river, I'm afraid Miss Pandora won't forgive me.”Seeing that he refused to leave, I thought of his greed and asked again," What if I increase the fare?”As he spoke, he took out a gold brick from the Dimensional Space. Saint Seiyas were not saints. They still needed to eat, drink, and laze. They also needed money to spend. However, the Sanctuary was obviously not a profit-making organization. Although the Saint Seiyas fought to the death every time they went on a mission, they did not receive any allowance. Moreover, many Saint Seiyas were orphans. After death, they could save money by hanging the name of a martyr. It could also motivate future generations. Although Athena had been given a good life this time and became the head of a world-famous financial group, which improved the benefits of the Saint Seiya, I wasn't officially employed. Even if there were high benefits, I wouldn't get a share. Therefore, before I came to the Underworld, I had cleaned up all the casinos in Europe. Other than keeping some banknotes as backup, I had exchanged all of them for hard currency such as gold and diamonds.
Karon saw the golden eye in my hand and couldn't help but reach out to take it. I wasn't afraid that he wouldn't return it, so I threw the gold at him. Karone took it and gritted his teeth. He couldn't help but smile, but he still held back his joy and said," Alright, since you know the rules so well, I won't say anything more. Get on the boat."”I jumped onto the boat and listened to Karon's tone-deaf voice while admiring this legendary river. From time to time, souls and skeletons would float up and down in the river, but they would quickly sink back down. The boat floated on the river and suddenly stopped. Karon looked back at me and said with a fake smile," Your boat fare can only go this far. If you want to continue, you have to pay more. Otherwise, I'll drop you into the water. First of all, the water in this river could not even float feathers. No matter how good a person was at swimming, they would still die.”
I took out a small bag and threw it at this greedy guy. Karon took it and opened it. He couldn't help but be stunned. It was full of diamonds, each of which was about the size of a corn." These should be enough to pay for my next ship. Don't worry, I'll just go ahead to find someone and come back. I won't cause any damage to the Underworld, so Pandora won't punish you.”Karon listened to me and weighed the diamond in his hand before finally turning around to continue rowing.
After arriving at the other side, I left without looking back. I didn't have much time left. This time, things had gone beyond my expectations. If Pandora gathered everyone to attack me while I was in the Underworld, it would be a huge embarrassment. If she summoned the God of Death and God of Sleep, then she would have to pay for it, let alone take Orpheus and Euldis away.
They walked forward and finally arrived at a place where flowers were everywhere. In such a dark place, I could see flowers, which made my mood better. I knew that I had found it. In the middle of the sea of flowers, I saw Euldis, who was covered in rocks all the way to her chest. Only her shoulders and arms were exposed. She crossed her hands in front of her, her eyes slightly closed, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth. It was unknown whether it was a dream of the happy time she had with Orpheus in the Holy Region, or that she was happy that she could meet a man who loved her. Perhaps she heard my footsteps, but she opened her eyes. Her eyes were very big and looked very charming. There was determination in the blur, firmness in the softness, and unyielding in the fatigue. What kind of eyes were these?
I bowed slightly at her." Hello, beautiful lady.”Euldis smiled and replied," Hello, sir. When did you come to the Kingdom of the Dead?”"I'm here to find a person. I heard that he's been wandering around here and refuses to leave. His colleagues asked me to bring him back. Beautiful lady, can I wait for him here? If I disturb you, I can leave.”"No, please stay. I haven't seen anyone else in a long time.”
I sat next to Euredis and chatted with her. It was obvious that Euredis hadn't interacted with anyone for a long time. She kept asking me about the outside world. I told her some interesting jokes and things, making her purse her lips and laugh. Eulith's smile was very beautiful. This beauty should belong to the human world. It should bloom on the grass under the sunlight and not wither in the cage-like Underworld.
My ears pricked up. Then, I saw Euldis looking ahead with a blissful smile. Orpheus had returned. I couldn't help but turn around and size up this infatuated man. Well, I'm not good at describing people as a whole. Handsome and tall, a typical pretty boy. He was indeed more handsome than me.
Orpheus, who was dressed in a silver Lyra robe, held a flower in one hand and a zither in the other. His eyes were fixed on Euldis, as if he did not notice my lantern. He placed the flowers in front of Euldis and gently tidied her hair with his hands. The happiness in his eyes seemed to overflow. The two of them did not speak to each other, as if everything was in their minds. It was as if their hearts were intertwined, so they could understand each other's thoughts without saying anything.
I watched them kiss each other as if there was no one else around. I felt that being a light cannon was really a very tiring thing. It was as if I had hemorrhoids, making me feel like I was sitting on pins and needles. However, I was too embarrassed to move, afraid that I would ruin the beautiful scenery in front of me. Just as I was considering if I should use Camus 'crystal coffin to freeze myself in case I couldn't help but say something bad or good, Olfe finally turned around to look at me. "Who are you?" His faint inquiring gaze swept over, and his face was as calm as an ancient well. It made me want to curse. This guy appeared to be intimate with the woman just now, but his right hand had been tightly gripping the zither in his hand. Moreover, he was on one knee, and his muscles were tense. It was obvious that he was ready to explode at any moment. He intentionally or unintentionally stood between me and Celeste, not only did he not hinder her from turning around to defend against the enemy, but he also took care of picking up girls. As expected of a senior, he was worthy of being admired by others.
"You should report your name before asking others.”I looked at him with a wicked smile.
"Lyra Silver Saint Olfe, may I know your name?”Orufei looked at me sharply. Obviously, if I continued to brush him off, I would definitely be beaten up. Just as I was about to answer, Euldis, who was beside me, spoke up for me." This is Mr. Raoul. He is here to look for someone.”Orpheus immediately put on a defensive stance when she heard what Euldis said.
" Orpheus, why are you…" Euldis did not understand her lover's wariness. Orpheus explained," This is the Underworld. How can there be people here? You are clearly lying.”Only after hearing this did Euldis realize her negligence and turned to look at me.
I shrugged and asked," Aren't you human?”"Shut up and tell me your identity and background, as well as how you came to the Netherworld.”"Of course I came from Hades City. Is there another entrance?"
"You bastard, it seems that you won't tell the truth unless I make a move.”A murderous intent rose in Oruffy's heart. When he returned, he saw a man appear beside Euldis. He hurriedly rushed over to take a closer look and only heaved a sigh of relief when he found that Euldis was fine. However, this guy was not telling the truth. He even had a smirk on his face, which made him really angry. I couldn't help but want to give me a Fantasy Charm to make me speak the truth. I didn't expect that my body would actually not listen to my commands the moment I made a move.
" Oh…This is…" Oruffy tried to move his body, but his usually obedient body seemed to have stopped working today.
"This is the star puppet string that I stole from Minos. How does it feel when your body doesn't listen to you?”I proudly stood up and walked in front of Euldis. I grabbed the rock on her body with both hands." I originally wanted to come here to pick someone up, but I saw a good woman, so I couldn't help but want to take her for myself. So, I'll take my leave." As he spoke, he pulled out the entire rock that was wrapped around Euldis, carried it on his shoulder, and left. On his shoulder, Euldis cried and wanted to grab her lover, but she failed.
Orpheus was shocked and furious when he saw me take Euldis away. He used his power to break free of my restraints and chased after me. I ran in front while he chased after me. No matter how fast Orufei sped up, he still couldn't catch up to the figure in front of him. However, the conviction in his heart urged him to save his lover.
The two of us came to the Santu River and saw Karon leaning against the shore. It was rare for him to meet a rich man like me even after working on the river for a month. When he heard that I would be back soon, he actually waited by the river. I quickly walked to the river and jumped onto the boat. After giving him two gold bricks, Karon immediately set sail.
As soon as the boat left the shore, I felt the boat sink. I turned around and saw Olfe looking at me with an unfriendly expression. I was separated from him at the bow and stern. Karon was in the middle, not knowing what to do.
