Chapter 916: Styx and Charon
The giant hero Yorulu, who was about to die, breathed his last in the gaze of the younger giants. After filling his stomach as a murderer, Xiao Lingling fell to the ground and fell asleep peacefully as if no one was around.
After entering a deep sleep state and bubbles appearing around the nose and the symptoms of bulimia subside, Xiao Lingling will lose the memory of her madness and evil deeds. This is a protective mechanism of the brain for the human body, choosing to make the girl forget bad things.
Lingling can forget the murder, but the giants will not let it go. Another giant elder, Yalulu, who arrived later, and his descendants witnessed the death of his good friend who had been through thick and thin with him.
The old morality in his heart could not restrain his behavior. The angry giant hero raised his sword. Yarulu wanted to avenge his friend by himself and kill a five-year-old girl by himself. "Devil, pay for Yorulu's life!"
At the moment when the long sword was about to fall and stab the girl's stomach, an unexpected human figure stood in front of Xiao Lingling and blocked the giant sword, "Yalulu, calm down, listen to me first"!
"Sister, how can you ask me to calm down? Yorulu is dead, he is dead"!
Regardless of the risk to her life, Carmelo stopped Yorulu from getting closer to Lingling. She knew that this matter would not end well. Yorulu's status in the giant village was too high. Even though she was revered as the Holy Mother of the giants, she could not calm the situation with just a few words.
The nun looked up at the giant sword in the sky with a determined face. At this point, Carmelo did not intend to excuse Lingling or choose another path for the other children. "Yaruru, no matter what, I will not let you hurt Lingling. Every child in the Lamb's House is a poor abandoned child. Please let me take them away. I will never return to Elbaf in this life."
Yalu looked at the expression on Carmelo's face, without any room for negotiation. Thinking of the good things the nun had done for the giants, if Yalu were alive and could choose for himself, he would definitely not hurt the nun or the Holy Mother of the giants.
The giant elder stuck the giant sword in his hand into the ground, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to do it. Yalu had nothing to say to Carmelo. He held the body of his friend and Yorulu back to where he belonged.
The orphans of the Lamb's House looked at the nun with worry. They were very afraid that the giants would hurt Carmelo. The nun's heartfelt words brought tears to the orphans' eyes.
For the sake of the children of the Lamb's House, the nun took the initiative to break away from the giants. Carmelo showed great courage, which moved the children so much that they wanted to rush over and hug her and call her mother.
Carmelo did not regret her decision to leave the Kingdom of Giants. She attended the funeral of the giant elder Yorulu on behalf of Lingling who had done something wrong. The elder was buried with a grand warrior ceremony. That day, many unfamiliar giants came to pay their respects to the body.
Even Harald, the king of the giants, came in person to attend Yorulu's funeral and said, "When Yorulu goes to the River Styx, don't lose your temper. I will protect Albaf until the end of my life."
Harald personally placed two huge specially made gold coins on the two places where Yorulu's eyes should be. This is a more traditional funeral ritual in the Giant Kingdom.
Carmelo was an outsider. It was her first time attending a giant's funeral. She whispered to the giant girl next to her, "What is the meaning of covering the eyes of the dead with coins?"
The girl whispered the answer for the Virgin Mary: "I heard it from the adults. There is a river called Styx between the world and hell. The souls of the dead will pass through the river to hell. Charon is the boatman on this river. As a ferryman, he will take the dead souls across the river..."
The giants have their own myths and legends. Charon was a greedy boatman. The two coins covering the eyes of the corpse would become the ferryman's fare, allowing Elder Yorulu to cross the River Styx safely.
Otherwise, Charon will throw the souls of the dead into the River Styx, causing them to suffer all kinds of pain in the evil waters and finally drift to hell.
After hearing the girl's explanation, the nun nodded. It was the first time she learned about the funeral customs of the giants. The nun could only respect them again and again. As for whether she believed in the existence of the River Styx, Carmelo did not even believe in the gods of the past, let alone that people would really go to hell after death.
After experiencing the tedious funeral of the giants, Carmelo laid a bunch of white flowers in front of Yorulu's grave. She knew that nothing she said was right at the moment, so the nun could only remain silent. Elbaf was known as the strongest country in the world, and the day had come to leave.
The giants did not want to cut off all ties with the Virgin Mary. After the giants' large ship was freed up and all the children of the Lamb's House boarded, the giant warriors maneuvered the ship out of Elbaf.
A small island was found in the sea near the Kingdom of Giants. After exploration, the giants found that there were no dangerous beasts there, so they began to rebuild houses for the Home of the Lamb, allowing the children and nuns to settle down there.
There are many advantages to choosing this place to settle down. If you need help from the giants, the giants in the village can come to lend a hand anytime and anywhere. They can provide meat for the children of the Lamb's House so that they can thrive until they grow up to be independent on the sea.
How could Carmelo, who no longer believed in God, imagine that the River Styx really existed and that hell also existed?
When Yorulu opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a boat, "Am I not dead yet?"
The giant elder stood up and looked around. Everything was foggy in front of him. Under the boat was endless black water. The person who was steering the boat was a skinny old man who was rowing hard and heading to the other side of the river.
Just as Yolulu was about to ask where this was, he saw figures in the black water. It was a group of children struggling in the black water, drifting along behind their boat, making creepy and mournful sounds. It was a demonic sound that struck the soul directly. They wanted to get on the boat but were unable to.
"A bunch of poor ghosts who didn't pay deserve to be tortured in the Styx. They really don't know the rules anymore," the old man who steered the boat sighed. There are fewer and fewer souls who are not as honest as before and who abide by the rules. Perhaps people in this world have forgotten the existence of hell and the horror of the Styx.
As a giant, of course he knew the legend of his tribe, but he never thought that one day he would really ride on the ferryman's ship. Charon was really a greedy guy and he really wouldn't let you get on the ship without money.
Yolulu is now very grateful that his people abide by the rules, otherwise he would be like the souls in the Styx, suffering the baptism of pain with them and asking for trouble before going to hell.
"Why are you here?"
Just now, Yorulu saw familiar faces in the River Styx, the children of the House of the Lamb. Their souls were washed by the River Styx, shouting the names of the giant elders, wanting to get on the boat together to escape from their suffering.
Yolulu now suspected that Yalulu had done something stupid, could it be that his friend had killed all the children of the Lamb's House in a rage?
