A snake? What are you going to do?" Charon asked.
"As you can see, make an instrument you've never seen before," said Hephaestus.
"..."
Silently, Charon held out a finger.
A large drop of blood fell.
When it landed on the boat, it instantly turned into a huge python!
Hephaestus didn't say much, and cut off a piece of skin from the boa constrictor with a strand of fire.
The boa constrictor was in pain, and with a howl, it was about to bite the blond boy who cut its skin.
Hephaestus didn't lift his eyelids, and said lightly:
"It's useless."
In the next moment, Charon opened his mouth and swallowed the python.
After a while.
The scarlet flames went out.
A huqin made of python skin appeared in the hands of Hephaestus.
Only the strings are missing now.
Hephaestus controls his own hair to grow longer, and the thickness is appropriate, and then pulls out a few to make strings.
A few minutes later.
An erhu is made.
Snow-white piano body, python-skinned piano tube, and golden strings.
Both Charon and Prometheus were fascinated.
Seeing the completion of the production, Charon couldn't help asking: "What instrument is this?"
"Erhu."
Hephaestus replied.
He adjusted the huqin, held it in his arms, meditated for a while, and pulled the bow.
Immediately, an inspiring clank sound flowed out!
It is very artistic conception of gold and iron horses, thousands of miles of yellow sand!
Both sides of the Styx River are constantly echoing! The gloomy and dead energy has been dispelled a lot.
In fact, every musical instrument can express the seven emotions and six desires, what is needed is the realm of the performer.
After a long time, the music was silent.
Charon continued to say, "Little guy, I didn't expect you to have such a talent. What's the name of this song?"
"Light Walk, you should be able to learn it."
Hephaestus smiled and handed the erhu to Charon.
Charon took it, and he couldn't put it down, and there was a hint of excitement on his face, and said: "Erhu, light work, very good! Little guy, I will help you with this. However, I can only delay it for seven days."
Hephaestus and Prometheus exchanged glances.
"Seven days is enough."
Hephaestus nodded.
He also knew that the gods of Mount Olympus were not to be trifled with.
Charon is willing to help this favor, and he has tried his best to delay it for seven days.
After crossing the Styx River.
Charon and his boat disappeared into the white mist again.
Hephaestus and Prometheus left without looking back.
"Hopefully Charon can keep his word."
said Prometheus.
At this time, there was a burst of music from the depths of the Styx...
Hephaestus paused and said with a smile, "He will."
...
On the banks of the River Styx.
Through the gate of hell, the three gods Apollo, Ares and Helios who came to the underworld appeared here.
After standing on the shore for a while, Ares said impatiently, "What are we going to do now?"
"Wait for the crossing of the Styx, Charon." Apollo said.
They, too, cannot fly here and must rely on ferries to cross the river.
It didn't take long.
The three of them suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the River Styx.
In black water and white mist.
A small boat floated slowly.
And an old man was sitting on the boat, holding a weird musical instrument in his arms, playing it constantly.
This person is naturally Charon, the god of ferrying the Styx.
He fell in love with the huqin made by Hephaestus.
It was a joy to pull along the way, and almost the entire Styx echoed the sound.
"Styx Ferry God, please take us across the river."
"We were ordered by Zeus to capture the traitor."
The sun god Helios stepped forward and said respectfully.
He also knew the background of the old man Charon, so he didn't dare to make mistakes.
"..."
Charon is still playing the erhu.
The style of music is completely different from Hephaestus' Bright Walk.
He played it, babbling, sad and shrill with great terror, the dead soul couldn't help trembling when he heard it.
The three gods of Mount Olympus also had their hairs standing on end, looking very uncomfortable.
Ares waited impatiently, frowning and about to shout.
But Apollo stopped him.
The two looked at each other, and Apollo shook his head solemnly.
Ares snorted coldly, but said nothing.
After a long time, the song ended.
Charon touched the huqin in satisfaction, looked up at the three of them, and said in a hoarse voice, "Cross the river, pay the money. You pay the money, and I will take you across the river."
"Pay?"
The three gods were startled.
They were all surprised.
I didn't expect the gods to pay money to cross the river!
"Styx River Crossing God, we are here to arrest the traitor under the order of Zeus, the king of the gods. We came in a hurry and did not bring any money with us. Please be lenient."
Apollo said with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
"..."
Charon's empty eyes stared at the three of them for a moment.
He picked up the huqin, twitched the bow, and continued to play his own huqin.
"God of Crossing!?" Helios called.
Charon didn't pay attention to it, he was very contented and played very intoxicated.
This scene made Ares, the god of war, unbearable.
He is cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, impulsive and irritable, and he never does things without thinking.
After being left alone by Charon, he became angry and roared directly:
"Fucking basterd ! I'll give you three minutes! To throw away that junk in your hands! Take us across the river obediently! Otherwise, I'll wring your head off and chop it up and feed it to the boar's!!"
The voice did not fall.
A spear appeared in his hand, and he threw it directly at Charon!
This blow was extremely powerful!
Like thunder, the spear disappeared in a flash!
"No way!"
Both Apollo and Helios were taken aback by this move, and shouted hastily.
At the same time, he cursed inwardly, this idiot Ares has no brains! The God of the crossing , you can't disrespect him at all!
However, it was too late.
