Chapter 28 Meet Again

The undead who enter the underworld from the human world must pass through the dark river Styx to truly enter the underworld, and to cross the river Styx, they must wait for the ferrymen on the river Styx to carry them there.

The undead on the bank of the Styx lined up a long line, how long have they been waiting on the bank.Every day there will be a batch of new undead, but every day there is no ferryman to support the boat.

Four or five days passed, and the newly added undead filled the shore, but no ferryman came. The undead began to complain, and all kinds of ghosts and wolves wailed from the shore.

"Wait, stop arguing! I seem to hear the sound of a boat coming." A dead soul with good ears called out.

"Really? Really? Is the ship coming?" A young male undead shouted happily.

Suddenly, the undead calmed down, and they began to listen quietly to the sound of the Styx.

"Wow, wow." Once, twice, the sound of boats rowing in the Styx was getting closer and closer to them.

The boat was getting closer and closer to the bank of the Styx, and they could vaguely see a petite figure supporting a long wooden pole.

"You are the ferryman Charon?!" When the boat stopped at the small pier on the bank of the River Styx, an undead asked in disbelief.

The person who came by punting was a girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, completely different from the legendary skinny old man wearing a black cloak.

Her emerald green eyes were expressionless, and the girl said blankly: "Charon has something to ask for leave, and I'm here to replace him."

(Well, the actual situation is like this. There were originally two ferrymen on the Styx River, and they took turns to take the undead across the river. As a result, a ferryman disappeared a few years ago, and only Charon was left, which made him He hasn't had a good rest for several years. A few days ago, he went on strike to announce the importance of his position. He must find someone to replace him for a while. He himself went to Elysee Paradise for a good vacation.

Jodel, who has been working as a helper in Hades, heard the news, and immediately proposed to His Highness Pluto that she would accept this arduous task. She felt that this was a powerful opportunity for her to become a regular employee.

Hades, the king of the underworld, felt that Jodel was too young and rejected her proposal.But Daphne, Queen of the Underworld, was very pleased that Yodel had her own ambition at such a young age.So, she persuaded Master Hades overnight, and Hades reluctantly agreed to Yodel to replace Charon as the ferryman for three days, and then decide whether to continue to hire according to his performance. )

Jodelle took out an old clay pot from the boat and put it on the bow, and said: "The old rules, those who want to cross the river, please pay a coin and put it in this clay pot. If there is no coin, please wait on the shore." Wait another year."

"You little girl, why should I listen to you! You take us across the river!" A bearded undead shouted loudly, not paying attention to Yodel at all.

"That's right! That's right! Take us to the Paradise of Elysium!" Several voices behind echoed loudly.

Jodelle raised the wooden pole still in the Styx, attached her divine power to it, and then swung hard at the loudest bearded man on the shore, hitting him directly on the rock wall of the Hades.

"Why... how could she meet the undead..." The undead were stunned, and even those who were shouting happily stopped.Although the undead have no entity, the gods with the power of death in hell can still punish their souls.

The undead suddenly felt a terrifying force erupting from the little girl's body. Although they didn't know what it was, they all felt terrible, and their whole bodies trembled uncontrollably.

"Ding dong." The sound of the first coin came from the pot.

"Thank you, please come aboard." There was a little joy in Yodel's voice.She turned sideways, allowing a small undead to board the boat.The undead who tossed the first coin rushed to the stern of the boat with a whoosh, and then shrunk himself to the corner of the boat, trying to stay away from the ferryman.

"Ding dong, ding dong." The next undead paid coins one by one and boarded the boat.

When Jodelle felt that there were enough breaths of undead on board, she put away the clay pot, and raised a long pole to stop the undead who wanted to board the boat.

"The seats on the boat are full, please wait for the next round of crossing." Jodelle said seriously.When the undead heard this, they ran to the shore again, fearing that she would sweep them with a long pole again.

Seeing how well the undead cooperated with her, Jodell immediately became happy, thinking that this job was really easy to do.She decided not to pick up a batch of undead a day, which would be too inefficient. She decided to come twice a day!

Yodel's efficiency was really high, and within two days, all the undead who had accumulated on the banks of the River Styx were sent to the place of trial.Except for some undead who have no money to pay the fee, they can only be sent there for free after they have stayed on the shore for a full year.

"It's a bit boring." Jodelle docked the boat on the small pier on the bank of the River Styx, and there were no new undead coming in these days.Her work became easier all of a sudden, but Yodel was sitting on the boat in a daze.

With a "click", Jodelle felt the boat shake, and someone jumped onto the boat.

She stood up excitedly, picked up the pot and said, "Please pay one coin for the fare, thank you!"

But suddenly Yodel felt something was wrong again. She didn't feel the death breath of the undead. The undead has no entity. How could it make her feel that she had jumped onto the boat?

"Are you a living person?" Jodelle heard the other party's more rapid breathing, and she immediately said displeasedly: "No matter how you came in, please leave immediately, the living are not allowed to step into the underworld." of!"

"Jordel?!" It was a slightly hoarse boy's voice, which Jodelle found unfamiliar.

"How do you know my name?" Yodel frowned slightly and asked.

"You are Yodel!" The other party's voice was full of joy.After a while, he hesitated and asked, "Don't you recognize me?"

"I don't know you." Jodelle thought about all the people she met after she learned to distinguish the breath in the underworld. No one was the breath of the person in front of her. Although she felt a little familiar, she couldn't remember it.She shook her head.

"I'm Diarmuid Odina." The boy tried to grab one of Jodelle's hands. She struggled a bit, but still couldn't break free. For some reason, she felt his palm was very warm, which made her Reluctant to let go.

"I'm here to take you home." Diarmuid's hoarse voice was full of determination.
