Chapter 1092 Death and the Old Man
The three golden coffins gradually moved away.
The Grim Reaper didn't make any moves, just stood near the bridge railing, looking at the quietly flowing river, which flowed continuously day and night.
This monotonous to the extreme eternal scenery has accompanied him for a long time.
Now, another millennium is approaching, and he is still the god of death, still standing here, like a statue that has been enshrined.
Eternal existence, immortality for thousands of years...but it doesn't have the slightest breath of life.
More dead than dead.
The dense fog gradually dispersed, and an old man suddenly appeared on the bridge.
Surprisingly, he didn't wear those strange religious clothes, but sat cross-legged in a moon-white robe, facing the River Styx.
The old man held an elderberry fishing rod in his hand, as if he was fishing.
The long line of the elderberry pole sank into the bottom of the river, and every time the pole was thrown, countless undead were aroused.
A fisherman can catch anything but fish... This sentence also applies in the underworld.
After fishing for a long time, the old man suddenly said:
"Your finger bones are on that boy named Stark."
"Ravenclaw hid for many years, and I also searched for many years, and finally appeared in this world.
do you need it "
The Grim Reaper said indifferently, and he was dressed in an old black robe, with his hands behind his back.
Through the robe, you can see the slightly exposed hands:
It was all bones, and the right index finger was missing a phalanx.
This phalanx was taken away by the third of the three brothers and made into the Deathly Hallows—the time ring.
Reaper could feel that the phalanges were closer to him now than ever before.
But it's a pity that there is Ravenclaw's magic on it, which cuts off that connection abruptly.
She destroyed the bronze ring, but she didn't completely destroy it, and retained some of her abilities.
Like what she did to the crown of wisdom.
A phalanx that cannot be repaired can't be installed back on the hand, so what's the use of bringing it back?
While reminiscing about the past, the god of death frowned, as if recalling a lot of heavy thoughts that could not be brought up.
The old man sat on the bridge, looking at the silent god of death, trying to figure out what the god of death was thinking like he had done countless times in the past.
Silence is the best rejection.
He who opened his mouth to probe had already figured it out, so he didn't ask any more questions, just smiled, and changed the subject:
"Stark took the golden coffin and headed in the direction that seems to be the resting place of the dead."
He looked to the west and said, "Are you guided by the golden coffin to find Ravenclaw and the others?"
Although the old man has lived for many years, he has never been there.
He has been walking in the world instead of God of Death, and he is not very familiar with the things at the end of the Styx.
I only know... there were once powerful wizards who crossed the resting place and went to a world farther away.
"They're not going to a resting place," explained Death. "At the end of the Styx, there is a vortex, from which you can return directly to the human world."
"Is there such a place?" The old man raised his eyebrows.
In his impression, there is only one way to exit the underworld:
Follow the trial path of the three brothers, and then return the same way.
If you come in any other way, you can't go back the same way.
Unexpectedly, there is an exit from the underworld.
Over the years, God of Death has only had one listener, so it was a little more difficult to speak, and he said softly:
"That exit didn't form naturally, but when I fought Merlin back then, I directly pierced Styx."
Piercing the Styx River, creating a channel connecting the world and the underworld... How terrible was that battle? !
The old man stood where he was, sighing softly.
With the body of a mortal, he can stand shoulder to shoulder with a god... As expected of Merlin!
The god of death didn't have much emotion, but suddenly said in a deep voice:
"I am very satisfied with that child. I have already given him what you asked for."
The old man squinted his eyes. Although the robe was generally calm, when he looked closely, there were still ripples of excitement.
"Thank you very much." He calmed down and looked into the distance. After a while, he said:
"One of your daughters has gone to kill the other daughter, don't you worry?"
"Isn't there you?" Death said. "They are Elaine's sisters after all, you won't sit idly by, will you?
Go get Morgan out, she's been locked up for 500 years. "
"I'll try my best...that's Merlin's magic." The old man smiled, pretending to be surprised, and asked tentatively:
"Have you found Grindelwald? He is wandering in the underworld, and he doesn't know what his target is."
The Grim Reaper looked indifferent: "He is insignificant."
That is no more.
The old man frowned, his eyes were complicated, there were doubts and surprises, and finally there was a sudden and further confirmation.
Is the god of death, who is no longer omniscient and omnipotent, still a god?
The old man concealed his emotions very well, and flicked the fishing rod with his arm, suddenly a cabinet jumped out of the water and hit the bridge heavily.
Tom's...the golden ark of the covenant.
The old man smiled knowingly, stood up, picked up the cabinet, walked down the bridge, and headed west without looking back.
The back figure completely disappeared, and the god of death still didn't make any movements, just looking at the bright and dark river Styx under his feet.
Like the boundary between two countries, or like the separation between Yin and Yang.
Don't overstep.
He suddenly laughed, and his voice was extremely bleak:
"Death, death... the dream of a desperate man!"
……
……
After leaving the Isle of Death God, the three golden coffins ran all the way, basically without encountering any danger.
The only thrilling place is that there is a certain mountain, and the mountains on both sides face each other.
The cliffs are less than ten meters apart, shaped like portals, and the water is extremely turbulent.
After getting out of the mountains, the field of vision suddenly opened up, and the river surface changed from narrow to wide, as if it had passed away, as if entering the world from the underworld.
But the water flow still did not change from rapid to slow, but became more and more turbulent.
Hermione stood on the golden coffin, looked into the distance with a telescope, and suddenly shouted:
"William, it's the Great Falls!"
Yes, it is a waterfall, or an endless waterfall.
The sound of the huge roaring water was like the sky filled with wind and thunder.
This kind of sound can be easily heard tens of kilometers away.
The cliff stretches infinitely towards both sides, and the water waves are like a white rainbow across the river, covering the sky and covering the earth.
All the water of the River Styx poured directly into the resting place from this waterfall, bringing with it the dead souls after death.
William stood at the bow of the boat, tried his best to control the golden coffin, and drifted to one side.
Before the end of the waterfall, the river surface was split, revealing a gap up to 500 meters.
It was as if someone had drawn a gap between heaven and earth.
The closer you get, the more you can feel the magical horror in the gap.
This is definitely the trace left by the battle.
Not only cut the Styx, but also pierced the entrance to the underworld and the magic world.
It's hard to imagine what kind of powerful wizard caused this.
The golden coffin is slowly approaching. Besides, any undead appearing nearby will be torn apart instantly by the fierce attack.
"Hiding in the coffin, I'm about to go in." William shouted.
The three golden coffins were all covered.
William and Hermione were lying in the same coffin, hugging each other tightly, feeling the world spinning like an earthquake.
After the golden coffin spun around in the vortex, it was completely swallowed by the gap in the black hole.
