King of Underworld - Chapter 128



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

Fourth Task – Triton’s Sora (1)

Hercules could tell that the prince who had just arrived was the son of a nymph.

A tall face and beautiful skin are things that are rarely found without the blood of a god or fairy.

The king’s story of not being invited to the banquet hall also added credibility.

The king’s heir is drinking wine over there, he must be the child of a nymph who is his concubine.

“Hello, Hercules! My name is Hylas!”

“Hillas…?”

“Yes. I’m still quite young, so please call me by my first name!”

It was easy to see why the king had not summoned him.

Longing eyes. Curious questions. Words spoken without hesitation.

Because he was clearly a young man who did not know the ways of the world and admired heroes.

Perhaps he didn’t call me because he was afraid of being rude to the hero.

“Lamia? Your nails were quite sharp, just like I heard.”

“Oh… indeed.”

King Theodamas was about to expel Hylas, but he saw Heracles talking to him and said nothing.

If Hercules becomes friendly with Hylas, it will be easier to recruit him to the kingdom.

So Hercules had a pleasant time at the banquet where he was the main character.

It was said that even though the body of a great hero did not get drunk easily no matter how much alcohol he drank, he got drunk on the atmosphere.

“Now that the banquet is over, I would like to introduce Menodice. Hylas! Bring this hero to your mother.”

“You want to see your mother? Just follow me.”

Hercules met the nymph Menodice, the mother of Hylas.

He asked straight to the point about Triton.

“I must meet with Triton for my work. You are a nymph, so if you know…”

“Well… unfortunately, I am a Naiad living in a spring and have no connection to Triton.”

Even though they are water nymphs, they do not all live in the same place.

Depending on where they lived, they were called by different names, such as Oceanis, who lived in the ocean, and Pegaeae, who were nymphs of springs.

Menodice, Hylas’ mother, is one of the Naiads who live in ponds and lakes.

You probably don’t know Triton, who lives in the palace in the deep sea.

Menodice, who was looking at Hercules’ face that was turning into disappointment, thought for a moment and then spoke carefully.

“But I know the location of the beach where the Nereids, the sea nymphs, come out to play at night. Maybe you can ask them.”

Sea nymphs, the Nereids were the daughters of the sea titan Nereus and the goddess Doris.

Those fairy sisters, numbering over 50, live in the sea, so they must know Triton.

“Please tell me where it is. I will definitely repay you.”

“I have repaid your gratitude. But more than that, please accept my son, Hylas, as your servant.”

It was Hylas, not Hercules, who was surprised by this.

It doesn’t seem like it was discussed in advance.

“mother?!”

“Hehehe. You always hated the stuffy palace life, so now that the hero you admire has appeared, follow him and experience the world.”

“…! thank you…”

Hercules looked at them and nodded.

It wouldn’t really matter if there was just one attendant.

Since he is not the king’s heir but a concubine’s child, there is a possibility that the king may approve…

The next day, Heracles obtained permission from King Theidamas to take Hylas as his attendant.

The king surprisingly readily gave his permission, perhaps because Menodice had breathed on him the night before.

So Hylas and Heracles headed to the beach where the Nereids were often seen, as Menodice had told them.

* * *

A quiet seaside beach.

Hercules and Hylas hid in a small crevice in the rocks and waited for the nymphs to come out.

But when it was time for the goddess Selene to drive the moon chariot, the nymphs were nowhere to be seen.

I’ve been hiding here for several days, taking shelter in a nearby village…

“Hillas. Your mother didn’t give you the wrong information, did she?”

“Hmm. Should I go take a look around?”

As they were waiting, tired of waiting, a soft song was heard from the beach.

It was a dark night, so no humans were visible, and the direction from which the singing sound was coming was a sea of ​​nothingness.

Well then… they’re nymphs!

“Hey guys. What do you want to do today?”

“Anelnoy, let’s go look for some clams! There are probably plenty left since humans don’t come here often!”

“I guess all the humans are sleeping today too?”

“Ah, I’m so sick of seaweed dishes. I want to eat human food!”

“Human food? Want to sneak out to a nearby village and get some?”

Seven or eight wet women, or rather nymphs, walked out from the sea.

Not human, but mysterious sea nymphs. Hylas was enchanted by the sight of these young and beautiful beauties.

And Hercules waited for them to come a little closer,

He slowly emerged from the crevice of the rock and spoke. He raised both hands and calmly tried to show that he had no hostility…!

“Listen. Are you the Nereids, the sea nymphs? Would you like to speak with me for a moment?”

“Gyaaaah!!!”

“It’s a monster! It’s a human! Save me!”

“Father Nereus! Help me!”

But Hercules’ efforts were in vain as the Nereids fled in terror in all directions.

There were also many who jumped into the sea, calling out the names of their parents, Nereus and Doris.

“no…”

How on earth did this happen?

In fact, the Nereids are not that afraid of humans.

After all, their parents were a titan and a goddess, and they themselves knew how to manipulate mystical powers to some extent.

These are the people who often tease the handsome young men of the fishing village or save people from drowning.

But… now Hercules was wearing the skin of the Nemean lion.

There is a golden sword at his waist, and on his back is a new iron club that he ordered after the battle with the Hydra.

At first glance, he is clearly a well-armed hunter or hero.

Even look at those massive builds and muscular arms. The Greek men are well known for their fierceness.

If you get caught, wouldn’t you have to worry about your chastity and life?

It was a dark night, and Hercules’ two raised hands seemed to be trying to catch them.

Coming out from the crevices of the rocks, they looked like bandits who had taken them by surprise.

“Gyaaaahhhh!!!”

“Save me!”

“Eek! Hunter, hunter!”

So this is how it happened.

* * *

The hero’s worries were not deep, and his judgment of the situation was quick.

Hercules’ body moved like lightning and grabbed the arm of the Nereid closest to him.

Snap!

“Gyaaa …

“It’s noisy, so be quiet for now.”

“Ah. No! Let me go! You bastard!”

“Anelnoy!!!”

“T… Let’s tell Triton! Quickly!”

Hercules quickly subdued a nymph named Anelnoi.

A scream echoes through the air and then disappears into the sea, leaving a nymph looking up at him in fear.

‘Damn, Professor Chiron told us not to hurt the weak. I ended up making a needless threat.’

Hercules released the nymph who was held tightly to him with slightly troubled eyes.

As if she knew that if she ran away in this state she would be caught again, the nymph rubbed her arm and looked at him longingly.

“…I am Hercules, a human who carries out Hera’s mission. I will not harm you if you just answer my questions.”

“lie!”

“what?”

“How many people are there who pretend to be the great hero Hercules! Are you one of them?”

No, you don’t know even after seeing this lion skin and the golden sword at his waist?

But that would be so. The Hercules of today was quite famous in Greece.

The story of the great hero who performed the duties of the goddess Hera has been widely circulated for a long time.

Hercules, the strongest hero in the world!

All monsters tremble in fear at the mere sight of his iron club!

The golden sword on your waist obtained by killing Chrysaor!

A lion skin obtained by killing the Nemean lion!

I destroyed Hydra so much that I got nothing from it!

Although he only completed three tasks, his journey was more amazing than anyone else’s.

Among the Greeks, who had little entertainment, the biographies of great heroes were of the utmost interest.

That is why lion skins sold like hot cakes, and requests for iron clubs poured into the blacksmith shops.

It is only natural that there is an increasing number of people who wear gold-plated swords on their belts.

“No, I’m the real Hercules…”

“Lies! Hercules is a great hero who never touches a woman! You scoundrel who forcibly grabs a virgin’s arm!”

“Don’t you think you’ve caught them since you suddenly ran away?!”

Only the real Hercules, who was suddenly treated as a fake, would go crazy and jump around.

I have to somehow convince him to make a connection with Triton, but he doesn’t believe I’m real…

Hylas approaches, watching their argument.

“Hercules!”

“Ah, Hylas.”

“Is there any problem?”

“This nymph doesn’t believe I’m the real Hercules.”

“Huh! I heard Hercules always travels alone! You scoundrels!”

They were dumbfounded by the nymph’s bold response even after seeing Hylas.

To Hercules, this misunderstanding seemed like it could not be resolved without an oath on the River Styx.

So, when I slowly opened my mouth to swear…!

Choaaaak!!!

“What human would dare… to kidnap the Nereids I protect!”

“Ah, Triton!”

A huge spray of water came up and tore them away from the nymphs.
