I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

As they went deeper, the river became colder and colder, and finally they saw the river that Char said.

There were many people waiting here, some standing, some squatting, and some leaning against the wall in despair, but there was silence and no one spoke.

On the river, they saw a small boat floating on the river. The boat was not too big, but not too small either. It could seat many people.

There was a man on the shore. He was very tall and wore a black robe. He had a very special temperament, especially his hand holding the boat pole, which seemed to be one section longer than the average person.

"Are you Chiron?" Dina asked.

The man turned his head to look at Dina and showed an unknown smile, which was both sweet and cold, like a giant python eating you.

"What a beautiful lady." His accent was strange, like a British accent, but also like a foreigner who uses English as a second language.

"Tell me, do I look like a centaur?"

"Not like."

"You should say 'Sir, it's not like that'," he added fluently.

"Sir." Dina said.

He raised his hand, and a line of words appeared in the air in front of him. He pointed at the letters above and said.

"Do you know this word? This is Kalong, come and say it with me: KA, card, L-ONG, long."

"Caron."

"Very good." He calmed down, "People often confuse me with that old centaur. Do you know him? Chiron.

Many heroes were teachers, including Theseus, Achilles, Jason, and Heracles, who was also killed by Hercules. "

Hearing this, Hughes quickly asked, "Then do you know Hercules?"

"Ha." Caron laughed a little amusedly, "How could such a person know me, a boatman."

"Won't he pass through here after he died?" Dina asked.

"Death?" Cuaron couldn't help laughing, "He is a god. Gods will not die, they will only end."

Instead of pursuing the topic, he continued, "So, what can we do for you little dead people?"

"We are going to the underworld." White said.

Caron looked at them with some surprise, "You are the most calm people I have ever seen."

"What do you mean?" Dina asked.

"Facing your own mortality calmly," Cuarón said. "Of all the dead people I've seen, some of them either clamored, 'There must be something wrong,' or 'There's no way I'm going to die.'"

He looked at the three people one by one, "So, how did you die?"

His question hit White like a high-speed ball in his stomach.

They deeply remembered Xia Ya's explanation when they came in, so they were a little hesitant at the moment.

White nudged Dina lightly with his elbow.

"Oh." Dina responded, "Uh, drowned in the bathtub."

"What about you?" Caron asked White.

"Uh, too," White said.

Caron looked at Hughes again, "What about you?"

"Same." Hughes replied.

Caron looked a little weird, "Did you drown in a bathtub?"

"That's right." White nodded.

But then, Dina reacted and said, "The bathtub where we drowned was larger, bigger and deeper."

"That's really big enough." Caron looked a little bit convinced, "I heard from some dead people who came in recently that the people on the ground have become a little different. Some rich people are very rich, and the poor are very poor. The rich people Always like to do something luxurious.”

He looked at these people and said, "You look very rich, but do you have any descendants? I met many people who were rich during their lifetime, but they didn't bring any money with them, and their descendants didn't send any money, so they could only repay it with loans. Boat fare.

Or wait in line here, it will take a few centuries before there will be room for you. "

"Oh, but we do have some coins." White took out three gold coins.

"Oh, if that's the case." Caron licked his lips and couldn't take his eyes away from the gold coin. "I haven't seen this kind of ancient gold coin in a long time."

His fingers greedily hovered over the gold coins.

He almost succeeded.

But the next moment, Cuaron looked at White. His eyes were very strange. Where the eyes should have been exposed were empty eye sockets. They were full of darkness, full of night, death and despair. His cold eyes looked like they were about to be exposed. Drill a hole in his chest.

He leaned forward and sniffed White, "You're not dead."

As he finished speaking, the hearts of the three of them sank.

"We have to go to the underworld," White said.

Kalon forced a growl from deep in his throat.

Suddenly, the water in the Styx began to boil. They saw some evil spirits writhing and struggling in it, but they could not get ashore.

"Leave now while you can." Caron said to the three of them, "I'll just accept this and forget that I've ever met you."

He started to reach out for the gold coins, and Dina reacted quickly and pulled White over.

"No service, no tip." Dina said, she was very courageous and not afraid of Charon at all, even though the Styx ferryman in front of her was actually a god.

Caron roared again, it was a low and chilling sound, and the ghosts around him became even more restless.

"Our instructor actually knows your boss." Dina said, "I bet that even though you do such hard work, your boss must not have given you a high salary, right?"

"Oh, I'm afraid you can't even realize half of the pain. Who wants to take care of those undead all day long? They are always saying "Please, I don't want to die", or "Let me go for free." , I have received a salary increase once in thousands of years.

Now the Lord of Hades is still a mother to me, and he has never received a salary increase. "

"Your salary should be just right," Dina said. "Britannia's labor laws stipulate that employees who are more than ten years old must receive a certain salary increase."

"Britannia?" Caron muttered, "Sounds like a good place."

"Your treatment should be better." Dina said, "You also need some appreciation and respect, as well as a better salary.

Our mentor knows your boss, so let us go there. When we get back, we will ask our mentor to mention the salary increase to your boss. "

"That sounds pretty good." Caron touched his chin, "But how can I be sure that your mentor really knows him? What's your mentor's name? Let me see if I recognize him."

"Merlin!" Dina said confidently.

In fact, she was not sure whether Merlin knew the Lord of the Underworld, but she always had to be more confident to boost her momentum.

And she also felt that since Merlin was so familiar with Hades, he might actually know people in Hades.

A smile appeared on his face, "My patience is limited. If you don't leave, I will throw you all into the River Styx."

The smile was like a poisonous snake spitting out its seeds, which was very unsettling, and all three of them took a step back subconsciously.

Their expressions were a little ugly. They didn't expect that they were stuck here at the first level before they entered Hades.

But at this time, Hughes thought for a moment and continued, "He also has a name, Xia Ya!"

They asked Merlin for this name after the Fire Curse.

There was a trace of sullenness on Caron's face, "You think I..."

But before he finished speaking, his expression froze.

Because, he recalled a conversation he had with his brother, Thanatos, the current Lord of Hades, decades ago.

The disappearance of the God of Sleep not only plunged the entire world into a certain chaos.

The underworld was also in chaos, and many nightmares that were supposed to be controlled by him began to get out of control in the underworld.

So, he went to Thanatos to ask where Hypnos was now.

As a result, he learned what Hypnos had done and the story of the battlefield of the Spanish Empire.

He met King Arthur and heard a name.

That, the name of the mysterious existence that sealed Hypnos...

It seems to be called.

Char.
