[Master Saint Seiya] The road to the goddess of crossing is long

From familiar to unfamiliar, the surrounding scenery changed rapidly. When they noticed it, there was a strange place in front of them.After galloping in the air for a while, they finally arrived here, but in fact they did not walk this way easily.

Not long after leaving the sanctuary, the four stubborn and cunning horses quickly noticed the changes in the drivers behind them, and tried to get rid of them all the way, so a "roller coaster" performance kicked off ...

Apollo is hard work. Saori has always known about this, but it was not until she stood here in person that she had a more personal feeling.No wonder I always lose to Apollo in the Olympus driving competition, and it would be strange not to lose.In fact, she had only been driving for so long that she had the urge to stab these damned horses with a spear.

All right!calm down!After all, this is not my own thing, of course I can't do that, otherwise what will I tell Apollo after stabbing her?There are two over there, yes!It's just that the two of you—Garon and Aiolia, both said to calm down, and you haven't put your fists away for her!

……

Get off the carriage, everyone looked around, this is a strange place, the stretch of mountains is covered by lush forests, the sound of insects and birds can be heard all around, and occasionally the neighing of animals can be heard, all of which make this place full of vitality There is no trace of artificial carving at all, and there is no one inhabited even within a hundred miles.

After carefully observing the surroundings, everyone discovered that they were in a mysterious and secluded valley at the moment. The lush forests around the valley almost covered the valley, making the valley seem to be hidden and difficult to detect.

Then, why did the Lady Goddess bring them here?Everyone doesn't know, but there seems to be only one answer, that is, there is a way to lead to the underworld, although of course it seems that it is impossible to connect with the underworld.

"Hey, Saori! What is this place? Why did we come here?" At this moment, Milo, who had been looking around curiously, couldn't help asking.

Glancing at him, Saori raised the corners of her mouth and left a meaningful smile, but she didn't answer Milo's question.She casually handed over the reins of the carriage to Shi On, and walked towards the messy grass by herself, as if she was looking for something.Everyone looks at me, I look at you, it's not right to chase, or not to chase, I don't know what to do for a while.

Prick up your ears and listen carefully. The subtle flowing water is covered up in the "Natural Symphony", and the subtleties can almost be ignored.After half a day of searching in the grass, just when Saori was about to give up, a faint voice was caught by her ears.A few steps forward, Saori pushed through the weeds, and a stream with a width of about [-] centimeters appeared in front of Saori. Such a small stream was perfectly covered by dense grass, which was almost undetectable.

"Ah, what is that? Is it a stream? Why is it in such a place?" Aiolia asked as she moved her head to Saori's side.Can this be called a stream?In fact, Aiolia prefers to describe it as a ditch, but it seems that it can indeed be called a stream.Uh... well, let's put this question aside for now, there seems to be a more important question, that is, the streams always have their origins, but why Mao looked around for a long time and couldn't find any clues?

Looking at the creek in a daze, countless fragments passed by before her eyes, making Saori smile involuntarily on her face.How long?When she left that year, she thought that she might never set foot in this place again, just like she didn't want to see Hades again.Hades had an unshirkable responsibility for such a thing to happen, just as those in the know believed that Hades deserved it very well, this is probably also a rare consensus between her and Aphrodite.

She stretched out her hand and slid across the water gently, her golden eyes reflecting the sparkling light.But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and it turned out that one day I would come to the door in person.She laughed at herself, and said to everyone: "You know? In the age of mythology, people believed that all bottomless caves were the way to the underworld. Although this statement is not correct, in fact it is almost the same. , At that time, there were really many roads leading to the underworld on the earth. Until one day, something happened in the underworld, at least for Hades, it could be regarded as an earth-shattering event. Since then, he has almost closed all the roads from the earth. There are only a few roads to the underworld, and the one we are going to now is one of them."

With a long sigh, Saori felt a little helpless. After all, apart from the two elders who had fought with her for so many years, she really couldn't find any Olympians who still stayed on the earth (that is, they participated in the fight against the giants. God of War), otherwise she would never want to set foot in Hades's gloomy territory for the rest of her life.Well, in fact, if it wasn't for that incident, she thought they wouldn't have any intersection, of course, except for the fact that Moha would occasionally complain that she was increasing her workload when she went to Olympus for a meeting.But what did it matter to her?The sky is going to rain, the mother is going to get married, and human beings are going to fight and die. What's the use of complaining to her?A certain goddess is puzzled...

……

Packing up the sun carriage, they walked slowly along the creek, and the surrounding trees gradually became denser. They seemed to have entered a forest, a seemingly ancient forest...

The deeper you go, the stronger the ancient atmosphere of the forest. The thick trees and tall branches give people a feeling of towering into the clouds. The dense branches and leaves stretch out, as if even the sky above your head can be completely covered, and the ground is staggered. The rhizomes covered under the remains of branches and leaves also reveal the vicissitudes of time. There are ferns and moss everywhere, and vines wrap around the trees and keep going upwards, as if they want to lead to the sky.

Looking into the distance, the depths of the forest are deep, with no end in sight, and nowhere to go. The same scene everywhere is like a maze.The deeper you went, the quieter the surroundings became. Even the forest, which always played the "Symphony of Nature" day and night, was covered with a gloomy and dead atmosphere, and even the air became heavier and heavier, as if frozen.

A faint cold breath hit, and Kamiao couldn't help frowning. This is a season of alternating spring and summer, the sky is bright and sunny, why is there a cold air?Looking closely at the surroundings quietly, yes, this is really weird.It was clearly daytime, and the sky was bright and sunny, but there was not even a ray of sunlight in this forest...or it should be said that even a ray of sunlight could not penetrate the branches and leaves...

The alarm bell sounded in her heart, and Kamiao couldn't help but glanced at the others. Sure enough, everyone seemed to be aware of the strangeness of this forest...

His eyes fell on Saori who was striding forward again, and she did not hesitate at all, and she was still moving towards her destination without any influence in this maze-like forest.Ka Miao pursed her lips, hesitated, but in the end she looked back and said, "This forest...seems a bit weird..."

Hearing this, Milo echoed, "I think so too. Why is it so quiet when it was still full of vitality just now? This is really strange." In his impression, the so-called forest has always been full of insects and birds singing. The sound of the wind blowing, the swaying of the branches and leaves, and the chirping of animals can be heard endlessly. It is very lively, but this forest is so quiet that people feel uncomfortable.

"Could it be because we're close to the underworld?" Diss grinned, and said jokingly, "Hades knew we were coming, so did he send someone out to 'greet' us?"

"I'm afraid not. It seems that we are still a long way from the underworld, right? Saori." Saga glanced cautiously ahead, and soon put on her usual gentle smile and said to Saori.

"Indeed, I'm afraid, as Saga said, our real troubles are still ahead. It seems that it is not an easy task to pass through this forest." Shi On said with a deep sigh.He felt that there seemed to be something in front of him...

Holding her chin, she thought about it carefully, Saori smiled lightly, but she glanced at the depths of the forest without a smile in her eyes, and said, "Is it troublesome? Hehe...how should I put it? It's neither counted nor counted. Bar!"

"Why are you such a mother-in-law? No matter what is in front of him, if he wants to hinder us, then as long as we hit him soon!" Garen said without cutting.

"Hehe, that's a good point. I haven't had any activities for a long time~!" Garen's words were immediately approved by Diss, who said excitedly.

Glancing at Shazhi, Tong Hu's calm eyes are filled with wisdom cultivated by the years. As I said before, neither he nor Shi Ang are the passionate youngsters they were back then. More than 200 years are enough to make him an old fox , just like Tong Hu's attention is different from others at this moment.First of all, the abnormality of this forest, and then what Athena said just now Hades closed most of the passages from the human world to the underworld, so why did he stay here?Does this have anything to do with him?But according to the records, he has never had any territory on the earth, so here... Tong Hu, who has been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Saori and asked, "But before that... Saori, can you tell us where this is?" Is it? Since Hades closed most of the passages from the human world to the underworld, why did he stay here? I’m afraid it has something to do with him!”

Looking at Tong Hu, Saori smiled mysteriously, and said: "Hehehe~~! I said it just now, don't worry, you will know in a while~!"

Continuing to move forward, the air became more and more solemn, and the breeze kept blowing some cold air. In this short period of time, they had already experienced the rapid changes from spring to summer to autumn.

A few swift black shadows flashed across the forest like the wind, and the surrounding scenery quickly passed by. They were running. They had been in this state for nearly two hours, but they still didn't seem to reach the forest. the end.

Facing this seemingly endless weird forest, the gold brothers didn't know how long they would have to run like this, but the strange thing was that they didn't feel any anxiety in their hearts.At this moment, the cold air in front became more and more intense, and there seemed to be a few white things flashing in the dark front...

Being held in Saga's arms was still the princess's embrace that she had long been accustomed to.Well, this is actually not what Saori is willing to do. Instead of being hugged and cared for like tofu, she would rather run with the men by herself, but obviously everyone seems to be unwilling to adopt her suggestion, so she still It's the princess hug, she doesn't even have to move, she can only play with Saga's long hair boredly.Half-closed her eyes, she suddenly noticed something flashing in front of her, and it was almost there...

Gradually they stopped. Although they had already had a premonition, the white world in front of them still surprised them. This is a forest, a forest completely covered by ice, and even the treetops are covered with a thin layer of ice. The forest has a different kind of beauty.

Asking Saga to put herself down, Saori looked at the white world in front of her in a complex manner, surrounded by silence everywhere, and could hardly feel any angry existence.

Holding up a low-hanging branch casually, Saori couldn't help but sighed and said: "Here... how could it be like this..." Although I knew the situation here would not be good, but after seeing it with my own eyes, it was better than I imagined. worse.

"Because spring will never come, I have been waiting for thousands of years, but spring has never come." At this moment, a slightly deep female voice suddenly echoed in the forest.

"Who's talking?"

The sudden sound made all the golden brothers immediately put on guard. Although they didn't feel any hostility, they had better be careful in this unknown territory.Under Shi On's signal, they quietly pulled Shazhi behind them.

At this time, a white figure flickered in the distance, and floating in front of everyone was a young woman with long brown hair in a white ancient Greek dress.I saw her slender figure, her quiet eyes without any waves, and her elegant demeanor seemed polite and distant.

The woman's gaze didn't dodge at all, she passed through the crowd and landed on Saori's body, her brows were slightly frowned but quickly eased.Wei Wei performed an ancient ritual, and she said, "Long time no see, Goddess Athena. I never thought you would come here after so many years since our goddess disappeared."

"Christina, don't you welcome me?" Saori said, patting the shoulders of the men standing in front of her.

"For so many years, no gods have visited here, even the goddess Demeter is no exception. I didn't expect you to come here again. I think if our goddess is still here, she will come out very happily. "The woman named Christina looked at Saori, and she couldn't see anything in her stagnant eyes. She suddenly made a gesture of invitation, and then continued, "Please, Goddess Athena."

Nodding slightly, the group followed Christina through the forest.Everyone looked at the forest curiously as they walked, and saw that the green grass and trees still seemed to be full of vitality under the frost, like a spring breeze, and there was no sense of decadence, as if the forest had been frozen overnight.They suddenly remembered what Christina said just now, when the spring disappeared, she never came back.The men glanced at each other, and they suddenly had a feeling that this forest was waiting for something...

Finally, everyone came to an open place, and there was a lake in front of them, surrounded by trees, but at this moment, all of them were covered with ice and snow. The mirror-like lake reflected the trees, like clusters of trees, covering the temple in the middle of the lake. In front of the temple, there were several women dressed like Christina waiting there.

"Please, Goddess Athena." Christina said again.

Nodding slightly, Saori glanced at the crowd behind her, waved her hand casually, and a white cloud suddenly rose from under her feet, carrying her and the golden brothers to the opposite bank.

……

The author has something to say: Well, this is actually very obvious, I think everyone knows who this place belongs to~~~~~!Poor Christina spent tens of millions of years waiting where she was, hoping that one day that person would come back, but what the long time finally gave her was an endless wait that was almost hopeless...

Could it be that the back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, what about the front wave...
