Lords go left, Emperors go right

Before leaving, the ferryman reminded Mavis to pay attention to the time. It was already late in the evening. At this time, the Styx Witch Melissa had already gone to communicate with the so-called King of the Underworld. During this period, she would not receive outsiders, even her own sister Mavis.

After reaching the other side of the river, Osta was a little surprised. The area controlled by the Pluto Club on the north bank of the Lanubist River was unexpectedly a town of considerable size. When ferrying before, due to the influence of the forbidden air magic barrier, from a distance, the north bank was shrouded in darkness. Osta did not see the details at that time, so he was surprised.

Mavis also had a surprised expression on her face. This death god loli hadn't been to the north bank for more than ten years, so she naturally didn't know much about the specific situation here. When the two sisters parted ways, the north bank of the Lanubist River looked the same as the south bank, both of which were backward primitive tribal areas.

Now, more than ten years later, a town of this size has developed on the other side of the river. It is impossible to do this with the productivity level of the primitive tribe. There is really no other more suitable reason to explain it except that it was assisted by the underworld king who was the mastermind behind all this.

The town controlled by the Hades Club was named Anubis, after the god of death in ancient Egypt. It was also called "Styx Town" by the adventurers and mercenaries who came here. The style of the whole town was dark, the atmosphere was gloomy, and the dark atmosphere was obvious, giving a very depressing feeling.

The buildings in the town have obvious religious colors, and there are many churches and temples. The members of the Hades Society were originally priests and pastors when they were in the Styx Ferryman Tribe. After arriving in the new town, they still couldn't change this professional habit.

Adventurers and mercenaries can be seen everywhere on the streets of Anubis Town. These adventurers and mercenaries are definitely not locals. The primitive tribal residents in the town, that is, the followers of the Hades Society, wear the same black robes with strange religious patterns on them.

In addition, the Pluto cultists usually wear special white masks that only show their eyes but not their true faces. In contrast, these foreign human adventurers and mercenaries dress casually, with obvious identities and a variety of styles, and all kinds of professions. Warriors, swordsmen, thieves, and archers are more common, while mages, warlocks, and healers are less common.

Not all professions in the human race can freely join adventurers or mercenaries, such as knights. Knights are generally directly under the state's military, and have lords who have sworn allegiance and follow them. They will not come out to take private jobs casually.

There were even fewer magic professions, and the total number was not large. Many mages and warlocks worked for guilds. Priests of the human race were basically monopolized by the Church of Light in the Eastern Continent. Most regular priests worked in the cathedral. Only those healers with relatively weak professional abilities could come out to take part in the adventure.

Assassins and wizards will not appear. Assassins usually join killer guilds or bounty hunter guilds. Only thieves with lower professional abilities than assassins have time to join these teams. The situation of wizards is similar to that of assassins. They also only join specific organizations and rarely participate in adventure groups or mercenary groups.

"We earned another ten gold coins from this mission. When we finish the next one and make fifty gold coins, we'll go back and buy a house and some land! We'll also buy a few maids and servants, and our lives will be complete."

"Brother, is this all you want? You are so short-sighted. I want to earn a hundred gold coins. When I return, I will give them to Lord Lyle to honor him. Maybe he will give me a noble title."

"Brothers, don't just focus on discussing these impractical things. This mission doesn't seem to be easy. No team has ever succeeded before. The adventurers and mercenaries who participated in the mission haven't returned yet. We have to be careful and not fail at the last critical moment."

"Captain, you are too cautious. That's because they are not strong enough. We have a healer here, so there will be no problem."

On the streets of Anubis town, the conversations of adventurers and mercenaries could be heard from time to time. After listening to the content of their conversations, Osta quickly realized that the accent was not from the Western Continent, but from the Southern Continent of the Human Race.

Although the languages ​​of the four continents of the human race are roughly the same, there are obvious differences in specific aspects such as accents. When Osta was in the Imperial Palace before, he had seen the visiting delegations from the southern human continent. The accents of those envoys were almost the same as the accents of the adventurers and mercenaries on the streets now, and it was basically certain that they were from the same continent.

After a preliminary exploration of Anubis Town, Osta discovered that he could not see through the true intentions of the King of the Underworld and the Styx Witch Melissa. The overall feeling of this town to Osta was that it was a city full of heretical religious culture.

The adventurers and mercenaries who came here were all from the southern continent of the human race, and they were able to reach here through the teleportation magic array. In the central square of the town, there is a huge magic teleportation gate. This thing is a relatively rare building and is very expensive. The human countries on each continent basically only build one or two magic teleportation gates. If there are more, the financial support is not enough, and the materials are not easy to find.

The appearance of the magic portal is a tall stone gate, similar to the Arc de Triomphe of the Free Country on Earth, which looks very imposing. There are exquisite stone sculptures on both sides of the stone gate, and on the ground is a drawn super magic teleportation array, and the magic lines are shining on the magic array. The teleportation magic gate in the middle of the stone pillar is always in operation, continuously teleporting adventurers and mercenaries.

The magic portal works in a forward and backward bidirectional manner, and can transmit and send at the same time. This capability is much stronger than the general magic teleportation array. The magic teleportation array can only work in one direction, and the incoming and outgoing magic arrays must be separated. A magic array cannot transmit back and forth at the same time. Except for the defect of being a fixed point, the magic portal is superior to the magic teleportation array in other aspects.

The magic portal itself can transmit and enter at the same time, and the transmission in and out are carried out simultaneously, and there is no conflict in the whole process. The front and back of the magic portal have different functions. Those who come out from the front of the portal are the people who are teleported here. If you want to leave here, you can enter from the back of the portal and be directly teleported back to the pre-set place.

The cost of maintaining a magic portal is very high. It requires two high-level magic cores of similar energy and level, and the properties must restrain each other to serve as the energy source of the magic portal. Usually, the magic cores of water and fire attributed magic beasts are used. The base number of magic beasts with these two attributes is large, and they have an advantage in collecting materials compared to magic beasts with other attributes.

High-level magic cores are not permanently effective. Generally, after half a month to a month, the magic core will become ineffective due to energy exhaustion, and a new magic core will be needed at that time. This leads to huge operating costs for the magic portal. This is what Osta can't understand the most. It doesn't seem cost-effective for Hades to spend so many resources to invite outsiders. High-level magic cores are not cheap, and it doesn't seem worth it to use them in the magic teleportation array. There are obviously many more suitable options.

From the conversations between the adventurers and the mercenaries, Osta learned that their round trip was free. Osta was puzzled by this. If he didn't know, he would have thought that Hades was some kind of charity or public welfare organization. The magic portal didn't charge money, but it gave away high-level magic cores. It was operating at a loss every day, and he didn't know why. If a businessman dared to do this, he would probably go bankrupt within half a year.

Chapter 143: Infiltrating the Cathedral, the headquarters of the Pluto Society

The deepest part of the Naroth Plain, the Zacharias Canyon area, the northern town area where the Styx Extraditers tribe lives. In the town of Anubis, which is directly controlled by the Hades Society, it is also called "Styx Town" by adventurers and mercenaries.

This is a religious town with a strong dark atmosphere and a solemn atmosphere. It took only more than ten years to complete the town. For Lord Osta, this is the first formal town he has encountered since he took office in the Blomfield Territory. Before this, other local primitive tribal settlements had not developed a town-level building complex.

The adventurers in Anubis Town all come from the countries of the Southern Continent of the Human Race. Among the four continents of the Human Race, the Southern Continent is a slavery continent. The total population of the Southern Continent is also the largest among the Human Continents, and it has a large number of mercenary groups and adventurers.

Due to irregular management, many mercenary groups and adventurers in the southern continent have not been formally registered with the mercenary guild or the adventurer guild, and the legitimacy of their identities is questionable. Since there is no registration, it is difficult to find these people if they go missing. The original intention of "Styx Town" to invite these gray-identity mercenaries and adventurers to come for adventure is questionable.

Adventurers and mercenaries were constantly being teleported in from the magic portal in the center of town. They all had excited expressions on their faces, just like the gold miners who went to the mines to try to make a fortune during the gold rush.

In fact, these people came here just to make a fortune. There are too many adventurers and mercenaries in the southern continent, and the entry threshold has been lowered again and again, almost to the point where anyone can enter. This embarrassing situation has directly led to the continuous reduction of the salary, which is comparable to the price of cabbage, much cheaper than other human continents. The market for mercenaries and adventurers in the southern continent is too saturated, and there is a serious internal circulation.

In order to make money, many mercenaries and adventurers from the southern continent set their sights on other human continents. The Central Continent was the first choice, after all, it was a land of disorder. The other three human continents were more troublesome, as the mercenary guilds and adventurer guilds there strictly assessed the qualifications of these foreign mercenaries and adventurers.

Most of these mercenaries and adventurers in the Southern Continent sneaked in by taking advantage of the low threshold. Their professional skills are almost zero, and the probability of failing the review of regular mercenary guilds and adventurer guilds is very high. If they fail the assessment, they can only be expelled back to their original continent and cannot stay in the relevant continent, let alone accept missions.

The town of Anubis, the "River of Styx", is the starting point of a hunting ground. Mercenaries and adventurers take a ferry here to cross the Osiriston River, the "River of Life and Death" flowing from north to south, and go to the underworld area on the west bank to hunt dark monsters. If you are lucky, becoming rich overnight is not a dream.

According to the current market trend of magic cores, the number of magic cores of dark monsters is scarce. The price of magic cores with special properties like this, even at the low-grade level, can be compared with the mid-grade price of common magic cores. In addition to magic cores, underworld gems can also be excavated from the underworld over there, which are also very valuable. The price of underworld gems is more than twice that of ordinary gems.

"Little sister, are you a mercenary or an adventurer? Do you want to join our team? I will take you to dig for gems from the underworld. We have already bought accurate information about the treasure hiding place from the black market."

"Miss, are you interested in joining the hunt for dark beasts? We have a healer in our team who will ensure the safety of the hunt."

Along the way, adventurers or mercenaries kept stopping Osta's team to chat up and try to recruit new members. The death loli Mavis, who led the way, responded with silence, without any enthusiastic response or any expression. After those mercenaries and adventurers got bored, they would generally retreat and stop pestering them.

Osta didn't believe that Hades would be so kind as to provide services to adventurers and mercenaries for free. The operating cost of the super teleportation magic array alone was not a small amount, so there was no reason to do such a non-profitable charity. Unless the other party was stupid and rich, that was another matter.

After arriving at Hadesmo Cathedral, the headquarters of the Hades Society in the center of the "Styx Town", as Osta had expected, the members of the Hades Society guarding the gate refused Osta's request to meet with them on the grounds that it was inconvenient for the Styx Witch Melissa to meet.

Even if Melissa's sister, the head of the Styx Ferryman tribe, the Goddess of Death, Mavis, personally requested it, it would not work. The members of the Hades Club who were guarding the gate did not give their head any face and rejected Mavis without hesitation.

This made Mavis's expression instantly become extremely awkward. After all, she was the clan leader, and being rejected so directly, it was somewhat embarrassing. The Death God Lolita team was more tolerant of their own clan members, and did not force their way in directly, which gave them enough face.

"What's going on? Isn't my sister in there? Help me inform her!"

"Patriarch, please don't make things difficult for us. The witch is not available to meet guests right now. She is receiving the oracle from the King of the Underworld and will be free tomorrow morning."

"Is the King of the Underworld more important than my sister? You..."

"Master Patriarch, we are just following orders, there is no other intention."

Facing the rejection from the Pluto Club members, Mavis was not going to give up easily. When she was about to question further and continue the negotiation, Osta patted the shoulders of the silver-haired twin-tailed loli from behind and signaled with his eyes.

After receiving the hint from Osta's eyes, Mephis stopped pestering and returned to her usual calm and rational state. After saying goodbye to the guards of the Pluto Society, Mephis took Osta and the others to move away temporarily.

"My Lord, please wait a moment, I will let them go."

"No need, Sister Mavis. We can just sneak in later and bypass those guards."

"My Lord, this may not be possible..."

"Sister Mavis, if they don't give us opportunities, we will create them ourselves. Don't worry too much. This is just a normal operation."

Osta didn't know the situation of the Hades headquarters, so he didn't plan to force his way in. Instead, he sneaked in secretly and took action when it got dark. During this time, Osta's team wandered around the town of Anubis in the "Styx Town" and secretly collected information about the Hades.

The mercenaries and adventurers who came and went on the streets of the town had no scruples and talked without regard for taboos. Through their chats, Osta learned a lot of information. The adventurers and mercenaries who took the ferry across the "River of Styx" Osiriston River to explore the underworld area on the other side were basically in danger.

Less than 40% of the adventurers and mercenary groups were able to return safely and bring back valuable dark beast cores or underworld gems. More than 60% of the adventurers and mercenary groups were ultimately missing, perhaps having overturned on the other side of the river, and even their bodies could not be found.

Despite the high risk, many adventurers and mercenaries, tempted by the huge wealth, still set foot in the underworld with a gambler's mentality. They go for the wealth, just as a gamble, if they don't fail, then they will make a profit. This is a disguised gamble, just like poker, if you succeed, you will be rich and prosperous in this life, if you fail, you will be more careful in the next life.

There was a detail that caught Osta's attention. According to the mercenaries and adventurers, the landing point of the ferry was arranged by Hades, and it was a random landing, and the location was not fixed. In other words, whoever capsized in the end would survive, and Hades had a lot of room for maneuver in the process.

It was hard to say whether there was any covert manipulation or behind-the-scenes manipulation. Anyway, the location was chosen by Hades. Hades was secretly colluding with the King of the Underworld, and the adventurers and mercenaries were basically unaware of it. Before they set out and started their adventure, they had been secretly arranged clearly.

When it got dark, Osta and his team returned to the Hades Society headquarters, near Hadesmo Cathedral. This time they sneaked in secretly, and they went through the back door, avoiding the Hades Society guards at the main entrance, and came to the back door of the cathedral.

Although the back door of this cathedral is well hidden and difficult for ordinary people to find, the cathedral was built in imitation of the Cathedral of the Church of Light, and many of its architectural layouts and design styles are exactly the same as those of the Cathedral of the Church of Light.

Among the members of the Osta team, one of the maids, Sophia, was from the Church of Light. She was once an insider and was very familiar with the layout of the cathedral. Under the guidance of this beautiful girl with golden hair and golden eyes, Osta and others were familiar with the route and soon found the real back door of Hadesmo Cathedral.

After Yulia, one of the head maids, performed a skillful lock picking operation, the back door of Hadesmo Cathedral, which had been sealed for many years, was directly opened from the outside by Yulia. After the door was opened, "Black Rose" Avril volunteered to explore the way ahead.

Marceline used the forbidden artifact "Golden Eyes" to quickly scan the cathedral area behind the door. After confirming that there were no traps, she led the way. Not only traps, but the perspective ability of Marceline's forbidden artifact could easily penetrate walls, comparable to infrared detection, and could identify whether there was a patrol team ahead. This ability was perfect for exploring the way.

The defense focus of the Hades Society seemed to be on the periphery. After Avril took a quick look, she found that there were almost no patrolling guards or guards on duty inside the Hadesmo Cathedral, which was the headquarters. The main force of the Hades Society's defense force was deployed around the cathedral, which resulted in almost no defense inside the cathedral, and the intruders could almost enter the cathedral without any danger.

Aosta was quite cautious at first, but gradually relaxed later. When they entered Hadesmo Cathedral, they happened to catch the Pluto Society performing a descent ceremony. Almost all members of the cathedral went to participate in the mysterious ceremony, and no one was patrolling or standing guard, which was a good opportunity for the intruders.

The scale of Hadesmo Cathedral is magnificent. According to Sophia's assessment, this cathedral has reached the level of a miracle. Even in the Eastern Continent of the human race which is completely controlled by the Church of Light, there are not many buildings that can reach the level of a miracle.

To be able to obtain a miracle-level building, it is not only required to be magnificent in size. The most important condition is that it must contain at least one artifact. The level of the artifact is not limited, but it must be a real artifact. If there is no artifact, if there is a magic weapon or a ghost weapon that is equivalent to the artifact, it can theoretically be called a miracle building.

This Hadesmo Cathedral does not have any sacred artifacts. It is said that there is a ghost artifact and two magic artifacts collected in it. The death loli Mavis has specifically asked the people of the Hades Society. Some members of the Hades Society were originally clan members of the Styx Extraditioner Tribe, and they still recognize Mavis's status as the patriarch.

Those who knew the truth answered Mavis' questions truthfully. This information was not considered top secret within the Pluto Society, so it was no problem to reveal it to Mavis, the leader of the clan. For the purpose of religious propaganda, the Pluto Society did not deliberately conceal such secrets, which was equivalent to semi-publicity.

The Hades Cathedral houses three underworld artifacts and magic weapons. The first one is the "Gift of Hades", known as the "Crown of Hades". That crown is a genuine underworld artifact, and it is said to be the crown used by Hades in his early years.

After Hades found a better crown, he no longer used this crown. The original power of the crown, which came from Hades' power and grace, was retained. It is said that only true Hades believers are qualified to wear this crown. The crown is currently in the hands of the Styx witch Melissa, the sister of the loli death god Mavis. It was worn by Mavis herself and she has held it for a long time.

The other two magic weapons are the "Eye of the Demon King", which is a magic crystal ball placed on the chest of the statue of the King of the Underworld in Hadesmo Cathedral. It has self-awareness and can monitor and attack intruders who enter its field of vision.

The other is the "Devil's Scepter", which is a magic wand. It is also placed in front of the statue of the King of the Underworld to deter intruders. Compared with the Crown of the Underworld, these two magic weapons are incomparable. They can only be regarded as entry-level magic weapons. The power comes from the hands of an ordinary nameless demon king. The power is not strong. If the power comes from a well-known demon king like the Seven Deadly Sins, it is a top-level magic weapon.

The above-ground building of the Hassimos Cathedral was empty. The followers of the Hades Society here had all gone to attend the special ceremony, and no one stayed in the above-ground church. Aosta and his party successfully entered the cathedral and came to the central hall. From a distance, they could see the statue of the King of the Underworld enshrining two magic weapons.

The statue of the King of the Underworld is ten meters tall and looks like a hideous demon. On the chest of the statue, there is a huge magic crystal ball inlaid, which emits a blood-red luster, just like blood. The magic crystal ball is the magic weapon "Eye of the Devil".

On the stone platform in front of the statue of the King of the Underworld, there is a strangely shaped magic scepter. The scepter is dark black and has a strange shape. On the top is an evil demon head, which seems to be alive, turning its head left and right, looking particularly creepy. This scepter is undoubtedly the magic weapon "Devil's Scepter".

"Lord Osta, there are many people in the prayer hall. I will help you build an invisible barrier! This will make it easier to observe from a close distance."

"Okay, thank you for your help. But, Chris, you even have that ability. I thought you only knew how to use the swordsman's professional skills."

"Of course I can. Doesn't Yulia know magic as well? It's just that I don't like to use spells normally."

Chris spoke calmly, with a nonchalant expression on her face. However, the invisible barrier she summoned was not simple. Strictly speaking, it was beyond the scope of common cognition. Invisibility magic can only be used when the caster hides himself. For a group of people like Chris, not to mention the human continents, even the alien continents have never heard of anyone who knows this level of secret method.

With the deployment of the invisible barrier, all six members of Osta's team disappeared from the public's sight. Even the magic weapons "Eye of the Demon King" and "Demon King's Warrant" could not see through this disguise and did not detect any abnormalities, allowing Osta and his team to pass smoothly.

After all, these were only entry-level magic weapons, and they were not a big threat to Chris and the other maids. Osta hadn't made any request, but if he had asked for them to be destroyed, Chris and the others could have destroyed these two entry-level magic weapons in an instant without being attacked by backlash.

The conditions for using the magic weapons "Eye of the Demon King" and "Scepter of the Demon King" were harsh. Because of the special properties of the magic weapons themselves, ordinary humans could not control them and were easily affected by them, affecting their minds. Osta temporarily ignored the two magic weapons and did not touch them, thinking that it would not be too late to deal with them later.

Chapter 144: The Underground Special Zone Hiding Evil

In the deepest part of the Naroth Plain, in the Zacharias Canyon area, in the northern town area where the Styx Extraditers tribe lived. In the center of the town of Anubis controlled by the Hades Society, the Hades Society’s headquarters, Hadesmo Cathedral, has always been a very mysterious existence.

The humans who came to "Styx Town" to pan for gold were all adventurers and mercenary members from the Southern Continent. Their impression of the cathedral was always that it was a place where they received assignments from the Pluto Society, and they did not have too much in-depth understanding of it.

The real core area of ​​Hadesmo Cathedral is the Netherworld Prayer Hall, which is built in the underground area of ​​the cathedral. To get there, you need to go down a long flight of stairs, and the entrance is hidden in the secret door behind the statue of the King of the Underworld in the center of the cathedral.

Generally, adventurers and mercenaries who come here stop here and have no way to explore further. They cannot bypass the "Eye of the Devil" embedded in the chest of the statue of the King of the Underworld and the "Scepter of the Devil" in front of the statue. Under the surveillance of these two magic weapons, they dare not act rashly.

Osta's team was different. The invisible barrier magic set up by Chris, the accompanying battle maid, even fooled the magic weapon. The "Eye of the Demon King" and the "Demon King's Scepter" could not see through the special spell of this beautiful girl with silver hair and silver eyes.

The group invisible barrier magic set up by Chris can easily deceive the magic weapon. Osta and his team sneaked in secretly this time to see what the top manager of the Hades Society, the Styx Witch Melissa, was doing.

Therefore, Osta had no intention of disturbing the two magic weapons for the time being. Instead, he chose to take a detour and enter the underground area of ​​Hadesmo Cathedral, which was the real core area. As long as he was not discovered, the two magic weapons were just decorations for Osta for the time being and posed no threat.

"Brother Osta, this place is too gloomy. Is the underground world really that scary?"

"Sister Delis, if you feel cold, come closer."

"Brother Osta, I won't be fooled! You want to take advantage of this opportunity to do something bad to me again."

"Princess Audrey, the depth here is too shallow. It cannot be considered a real underground world."

After opening the secret door that looked like the entrance to the cellar, the members of the Osta team began to explore downwards, stepping down the stairs step by step. After entering here, the temperature around them dropped sharply, and gusts of cold wind kept blowing from bottom to top. This biting cold could easily give people goose bumps.

Osta's sister, "Jade Princess" Audrey couldn't help but raise questions. "Black Rose" Avril, who was responsible for guiding the team, introduced the latest exploration situation to Osta and the others while leading the way, and gave a negative answer to Audrey's questions.

Princess Audrey said one thing and another, saying that she had seen through the intentions of a certain gentleman prince, but her body was surprisingly honest, still moving closer to Osta. Osta took the opportunity to hold his sister, and did not think there was anything inappropriate about using a princess hug. The Osta team moved down along the historic stone steps to explore, and after walking for a while, they finally reached the bottom of the underground area and stepped on the flat ground again.

The visibility in the underground area is very low, and the lighting is dim with torches. The torches used for lighting emit a blue ghost light after burning. The ghost light has almost no temperature. Even if you are very close, you can't feel any warmth from the ghost light, but instead feel an inexplicable chill.

The illumination capacity of the will-o'-the-wisp is limited, and the blue flame cannot compare to a normal flame, at least not in terms of temperature. Against the backdrop of the blue flame, the underground area was filled with an atmosphere of oppression and terror, and the surroundings seemed unusually dim.

The Netherworld Prayer Hall is a huge underground square, which is equivalent to the area of ​​a standard football field that can accommodate about 100,000 people. This is the core area of ​​the Pluto Society. As Osta looked around, there were seven tall statues of the devil standing in the square, all of which were about thirteen meters high, with three on each side, symmetrically distributed, and the remaining one was in the middle and back.

These demon statues represent the seven deadly sins, and the lone demon statue is the fallen angel Lucifer. These original sin demon statues are carved with underworld ore, and they are just a rough outline. The specific appearance is not obvious, or even not carved out.

After all, these demon king statues are just imitations, and the original sin demon kings have never appeared or possessed the statues, so they are not too similar to the real original sin demon kings. In addition to the statues of the seven original sin demon kings, there are a total of 72 stone pillars used to support the Netherworld Prayer Hall, representing the legendary 72 demon kings.

On each of the thick stone pillars, there is a relief carving of the corresponding devil. Just like the statues of the seven deadly sins, there is no specific image of the devil carved, because they are all imitations, and the real face of the devil will not be carved.

The core component of the Netherworld Prayer Hall is the giant stone door behind the fallen angel Lucifer's statue. The giant stone door is about 20 meters high and is carved with skulls and demons. The most eye-catching is the sculpture of the three-headed hellhound, which occupies almost half of the carved area on the stone door.

This gate to the underworld is where the ruler of the underworld on the other side, the King of the Underworld, shows his divine power. By appearing here, he conveys oracles to the followers of the Underworld Society who believe in it. The King of the Underworld does not appear every day, but only after a period of time, when the gate to the underworld is opened.

When Osta and his team arrived, they happened to catch the Pluto Society performing a descent ceremony, which was an important ceremony to pray for oracles from the King of the Underworld. At this time, the ceremony had just begun, and the members of Osta's team were just under the protection of the invisible magic barrier, observing the ritual activities of the Pluto Society here.

The faith of the Hades Society seems to be a mixture of various dark cultures, with elements of the underworld and the demon world. The faith may be just a cover, just to fool people on the surface. The real purpose of the Hades Society is probably only known to the King of the Underworld who secretly controls everything behind the scenes, and the leader of the Hades Society, the Styx Witch Melissa herself.

After taking a few glances at the gate to the underworld in the distance, the maids' expressions became very relaxed, and even flashed a look of contempt in their beautiful eyes, not hiding their true feelings. If nothing unexpected happened, this gate to the underworld might not be the real thing, but a replica with slightly more careful workmanship, and it was still a fake product that did not live up to its name.

Osta looked from afar and saw that this underworld prayer hall was filled with believers of the Hades Society. The estimated number of people was about 60,000, all of whom were female believers. The remaining 40,000 male believers of the Hades Society were active in the area around the Hadesmo Cathedral on the ground.

Only female believers are allowed to enter the Netherworld Prayer Hall to communicate with the King of the Underworld. The occupations of female believers in the Underworld are mainly divided into three categories: priests, wizards, and warriors. The division of labor is clear, and the specific responsibilities on site are different.

The female warriors of the Pluto Society were standing guard at various key locations, while the priests were kneeling on the ground with their hands clasped together and praying with solemn and pious expressions, just like the believers and pastors of the Church of Light. The prayer activities of various religions were mostly similar.

The most obvious difference between the prayer ceremonies of the Pluto Society and the Church of Light is that when the Pluto Society is praying, the wizards will dance a mysterious dance on a special stage built in front of the statue of Pluto. This special dance has a distinct religious color and is very similar to the dance that wizards in some primitive tribes in Africa on Earth must dance when performing witchcraft.

This dance is not found in the Church of Light, and is a feature of the Pluto Society. It is not certain whether it is the patent of the Pluto Society. After all, in this plane of another world, there must be more than one cult organization similar to the Pluto Society, and other mysterious organizations may also have similar witchcraft dances.

"Mavis, these rituals, aren't they the traditions of your tribe?"

"My Lord, please don't misunderstand me. Those rituals are definitely not the original customs of my tribe. They must have been thought up by Sister Melissa after being induced by the King of the Underworld. They have nothing to do with the Styx Ferryman Tribe."

"Mavis, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
