Give Me the Name of God

Vol 3 Chapter 439: Forcibly cross the Styx

"Give me the name of God (

The Acheron River, the first river to enter the underworld, also known as the Anguish River, is also the largest river in the underworld.

Seeing this big river, Manda has some understanding of the previous journey.

According to the "Book of Songs", after death, the death **** Tanathos will mark his body first. Hermes, the messenger of the gods, will guide his soul through the long dark valley to the Styx. shore.

What Manda experienced just now was the long dark valley. Hermes would only provide guidance to the dead souls who had held formal funerals. Although Manda was not guided, she still relied on the talents Hermes bestowed on him. Smoothly out of the valley.

But those lone ghosts who haven't held a funeral are not so lucky. They can't get out of the valley, and they are eventually eroded by the surrounding undead and become part of the valley.

Think about the continuous wars and famines that lasted for years. For most people, a simple funeral is an extravagant hope. It is no wonder that the imprisoned souls in the dark valley are beyond Manda's ability to count.

The first task has been completed. According to the order on the stone statue, Manda must cross the Acheron River.

According to the "Book of Songs", this river can't even float a feather. Swimming is definitely not feasible. The correct way to cross the river is to find Charon, the **** of the underworld, and cross the river on his ferry.

Going along the river bank to find the God of Crossing is not a difficult task. So how can I explain it to him?

Pretending to be an undead, without explaining anything, just mix in.

The idea is good, but I am afraid that the gods are not so easy to deceive. Once it is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous.

Of course, there are also living people who have successfully crossed the river in history. Orpheus, a hero of the classical period, and one of the members of the Golden Fleece team, once moved the transitional **** Charon with the sound of the piano and sailed through the river Styx.

Does Manda have this strength?

If you bring the guitar, or the harp of Fairy Nymph, maybe there is still a little chance.

But Manda didn't bring these two things. He didn't come out on vacation. What did he do with a musical instrument? Moreover, Orpheus was the best musician in the classical period, and he only succeeded once.

In addition, there is another way. It is said that a living person can board Charon’s ship as long as they bring the golden branches in the back garden of Persephone, but Manda has not seen this kind of high-quality goods.

Even if Charon was really fooled, Manda would not have to cross the river.

To get on Charon’s ship, you have to pay a silver coin. A silver coin is not worth mentioning to Manda, but he didn't have any money. He gave the money bag to Roma, and he didn't have any copper on him.

You can get on the ship without paying money. It depends on your guts. The hero Hercules once took the Overlord Ship, and Charon didn't dare to do anything to him.

The question is does Manda have the strength of Hercules? Obviously not.

If you don't have the strength and want to be the Overlord Ship, there is a high probability that Charon will be thrown into the river mercilessly.

After thinking about it, Manda decided not to risk Charon, he decided to walk straight over the river.

Because he anticipated that there was a high probability of stealing things during this trip, Manda asked the poet to make two special artifacts, one is a four-wing flying mirror, and the other is a weightless feather boot.

The four-wing flying mirror is made of two blood stones of the kingfisher goddess. It is a silver mirror with two pairs of wings that can fly in the air and record the scene reflected in the mirror for a short time. Its main The function is detection.

The weightless feather boots are precious artifacts made of the fifth-order blood stone of the ghosts and gods. This blood stone has been sealed by the sword of the punishment, and there are still traces left after it is unsealed. If it is a pure blood stone, man Dar had already rewarded it to Castor.

In addition to the blood stone, the main material of the weightless feather boots is the feathers of the three-winged bird. Wearing these boots, the human body will lose most of its weight. It will not dent when stepping on the cotton. There will be no footprints on the snow. There is no sound on the dead branches and leaves, and it will not sink even if you step on the mud of Ziegssel. It is an excellent tool for infiltration and theft.

Manda was about to use these two artifacts to forcibly cross the river, but when he came to the Acheron River, he hesitated a bit.

The river is less than 100 meters wide. Although it is not too deep, the clear water allows Manda to see the bottom of the river.

Almost like the dark valley, the riverbed of the Acheron River is also made up of bodies. Under the scouring of the river over the years, these bodies are arranged very neatly and their expressions are very peaceful.

Based on his previous experience in the Dark Valley, Manda speculates that these bodies are entities formed by souls, visible and tangible, and with a high probability of being able to move.

Why does the soul form an entity in the underworld? This kind of thing is beyond Manda's understanding.

But there is one thing he can imagine. If caught by these "people" at the bottom of the river, he will lie side by side with these "people" and become part of the river bed.

Before crossing the river, Manda prayed to Hermes again. He believed that he had been under Hermes' gaze.

He first let go of the four-wing silver mirror, watching the one-foot-high, half-foot-wide square mirror waving two pairs of wings, flying smoothly over the river surface, Manda let out a sigh of relief, put on his feather boots, and headed toward the river. Take the first step.

Can this pair of boots float on this river that is said to be unable to float even feathers? Can you float yourself after losing most of its weight?

In the first step, the boots successfully floated on the water.

In the second step, Manda stood firmly on the surface of the water.

In the third step, Manda glanced down and found that the river had become much deeper, and it should have been able to sink.

In the fourth step, many "people" under the river opened their eyes, Manda raised his head and decided not to look down any more.

In the fifth step, someone suddenly pulled Manda from the bottom of the river. Manda lost his balance. One foot sank into the river, and the other foot left the river. It was about to sink into the water. At the critical moment, Manda grabbed it. A four-wing silver mirror.

The power of the four-wing silver mirror is very small, and it can't fly with Manda. It can only provide Manda with an unsteady gripper.

With this little strength, Manda regained her feet, walked three more steps on the surface of the river, and was shot into the bottom of the river by a wave.

Eight steps, just eight steps.

After doing so much preparation, I took a total of eight steps.

The "people" lying at the bottom of the river stretched out their arms to try to grab Manda, and Manda flew like flying legs and ran madly at the bottom of the river.

The buoyancy of the Acheron River is very small, and the resistance is also very small. Although the riverbed constructed by the body is a bit slippery, the speed of Manda is not affected too much~www.readwn.com~ He held his breath and ran to it. On the other side, several arms at the bottom of the river grabbed Manda, but they were all severed by him with golden fingers.

When he climbed to the opposite shore, Manda lay on the rock and panted for a long time.

He took off his boots, slapped the silver mirrors flying in the air with a slap, and stuffed them viciously into his rucksack.

The flameless torch is completely useless. The weightless feather boots and the four-winged silver mirror only come in handy. Supporting them up to now, they have almost completely relied on their own abilities. What is the use of carrying these gods?

When Manda was about to tighten his rucksack, he found that the four-wing silver mirror had been flashing, as if there was important information to be passed on to Manda.

Manda did not dare to neglect, and quickly picked up the silver mirror, because he felt that the near omen pendant was also heating up.

Since coming to the underworld, the near sign pendant seems to have become dull, this is the first time it has heated up.

Manda wiped off the water droplets on the mirror and carefully rubbed the pattern on the mirror surface.

The mirror began to slowly reappear the previous scene, first the turbulent river, and the manda walking on the river.

Then because Manda grabbed it on the way, the mirror began to shake violently.

Next, Manda ran wildly at the bottom of the river, but the mirror captured a scene on the shore.

In the corner of the river bank, two green dots appeared.

There are more than two, it seems to be four, no, there are many more...

Judging from the location at the time, these bright spots seem to be near me.

Manda stood up alertly and looked around, feeling as if there were sounds around him.

Following the voice, Manda finally saw it.

One, two, three, ten, thirty... there are almost a hundred!

A hundred clusters of green flames, like a hundred lanterns, move and flicker in the dark corner.
