Chapter 261 - 261: Of Course

"I think… he is here"

"What?"

The only things that one could feel were the whispers and breaths that the tere releasing Even their eyes were not holding any light as the darkness drowned everything else; as if they were floating in the empty reaches of space, no one to save them

But still, the two seemed to continue to talk with each other One voice; a male, excited The other; a woman, clearly annoyed But still, the man's breath of the man called Dionysus continued to flutter in the darkness as his voice turned cheerful by the second

"The Messenger, he is here!" Dionysus said

"That's what you said yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that," the worunt as she replied to Dionysus, "Why don't you wake up when it is really here? Or better yet, never wake up anymore"

"Such cold words, if it were Artemis here with me, I am sure she would appreciate my efforts to help Ah, h it was dark, one could i as he placed the back of his hand on his forehead

"Hoould I not beit!?"

"Such a vengeful heart, otten about that? It has been a very long tirowled, "I aain just because you feel even a little bit of-- !!!"

A loud gasp came from Athena before she could even finish her words before a rumble could be heard in the darkness And after a few seconds, light finally ehts to their little confinement

The tere actually in a small room, or perhaps ht! Close the lights you two!"

"It's those two again, they're causing troubles!"

"This… is a Pit?"

Although Van had been in only two Pits now and his surprise was still valid, Egypt's Pit truly was different from the two others he had entered before Unlike the thich were in an open environe cavern

No, perhaps an underground building was the better word to describe it It would seerow a society of their own, this one completely stuck in its roots and reht the security was a bit lax outside because they were already granted the pero to the Pit But it turns out, they were all here There were guards lining up, walking, and there was no corner or angle left without an eye to watch it

"The three of you are the guests?" Aa beret then approached Van and the others, "I heard so outside, but to think the three of you were granted the pero here You must be very-- Aren't you Charlotte Gates!?"

The ant voice almost cracked as soon as his eyes landed on Charlotte, "To… to what do e this visit, madame Gates? Do you have a relative here? Did we mistakenly arrest a friend of yours? Please, please tell us so we can immediately release thehtly back away as the her as he leaned in ever so close to her, "No Well yes, but it's not my friend, it's hers"

Charlotte then pointed at Arte all over the place

"I see," thea beret cleared his throat, "What are their names so we could take a look at our roster to see which rooned to?"

"I don't know yet," Arte and deep breath, "I can sense that someone is here, but I can't determine their location What about you, Evans?"

"I don't sense anything," Van was a bit surprised with Arte he will be able to learn in the future? To detect the other Olyain if he could feel or sense anything, but no matter how tried he hard to focus, he was not able to sense anything, not even a flicker

"Have you seen anyone unusually tall here?" Van then asked thea beret

"Unusually tall? Like how tall, sir?"

"I don't know… like soe"

"60 meters tall, sir?" The htly be taken aback with the little boy's words, but after a few seconds, he let out a small chuckle, "We e had a prisoner that tall, but I a to not even reach 10he said funny? Van thought Hercules was abnormally tall, not to mention Artemis was taller than the Wall when they first saw her So Van just assuht as he also let out an aard chuckle

"Please, please follow me We don't really let anyone look at our resident list, but since ere ordered to give you everything you need, you're free to check it andfor there Does that sound good?"

"Sure," Van said as he followed the man, followed by Arte a beret did not fail to notice this Was this little boy actually the one leading this group? Who was he? Was he so ti was limited

The three continued to follow theThere were doors and bars separating the roo in the ceiling

The place seemed spacious, as Van could hear the clamors and whispers of what seemed to be the Prisoners from across the halls Finally, after a few more minutes, the two arrived in a room filled with small televisions

"Sir Said!" The man that was inside the roo Van and the others
