Chapter 212 Please Use Job Titles During Work Hours

Asterius, that is the true name of the Minotaur of Crete Island, meaning "Thunderbolt," and very few people know this appellation.
Usually, Luo En rarely mentions this obscure name, more accustomed to calling him "Minotaur" or "Little Bull."
However...
Luo En looked back, his gaze landing on that extremely cheap face.
Feeling the stare, Sisyphus felt a chill run down his spine and involuntarily swallowed, crossing his arms and revealing a dry smile on his face.
"Old, old buddy, why are you looking at me like that? You look like a pervert..."
As he spoke, the habitual swindler quietly backed towards the dark corner of the wall.
"Bang!"
However, before he could take a few steps, a muffled sound came from behind him.
Sisyphus's vision went dark, and he fell straight back, slipping into a sleep like that of a baby.
"Nicely done!"
Luo En gave a thumbs-up to Tethys, who was standing in the shadows, showing his approval.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Tethys slightly pursed her lips and withdrew her arms, which she had extended out of urgency. A trace of embarrassment appeared on her pretty face.
Such a rude action didn't seem very befitting of a lady.
But even so, the ocean nymph didn't hesitate with her hands, casting seven or eight curses like suppression, confusion, binding and sleep on the Sisyphus lying on the ground before she finally let out a cautious sigh of relief.
Reliable!
Luo En nodded in approval at Tethys's performance, which could be called professional, looking at her with even more satisfaction.
Having such a teammate to cover your weaknesses certainly saved him a lot of worry.
After dealing with the extra pair of ears beside him, Luo En looked back at the young man with bull horns in front of him, using a name he was more familiar with.
"Minotaur, what are you doing here?"
"Father... Father sent me... to... to help you..."
Minotaur struggled with his words, stuttering out a response.
King Minos?
Hearing the person mentioned by Minotaur, Luo En subconsciously touched his cheek, feeling somewhat astonished.
"How did you know it was me who came?"
He and Tethys were both cautious types. Ever since they had descended to the Netherworld, they hardly ever went without at least ten layers of disguise magic and defensive spells.
With the convenience of memory and divine distortion of cognition, almost no one, whether it was the old swindler Sisyphus, Ferryman Charon of the Underworld River, God of Sleep Hypnos, or the three thousand Tribe of Dream Spirits, had discovered their true identities.
Minotaur was actually able to see through his disguise at a glance, which made Luo En very curious.
"Scent..." The bull-horned youth spoke in a thick voice, then raised his hand to point at the faint shadow behind Luo En, "And... that..."
The Cretan Bull?
Was it because of divine resonance? I see...
Luo En nodded thoughtfully and then dispersed the incarnation of the [Bull] to prevent any further complications.
——To prevent Radamanthys from revealing secrets related to the Underworld, he could be made to drink a bit of the waters from the River Lethe after a day's work, ensuring he woke up disoriented, remembering nothing of what transpired in his dreams.
——Automatically formatting and reusing an employee without pay, Hecate's method was indeed typical of a ruthless capitalist worthy of being strung up by the streetlights.
Luo En was not clear on the subsequent results, only hearing what two Cretan princesses who had fled to Athens said.
——On the days King Minos visited them in their dreams, he seemed extraordinarily happy.
"Here, we're here..."
As Minotaur's breathy voice came over, Luo En's thoughts snapped back, and he reined in the slightly unscrupulous smile at the corner of his mouth, approaching the end of the central fork, crossing over a hundred steps, and entering into the imposing Court of Judgment.
Along the way, one after another, the guards of the Underworld wearing blue and gold armor and holding swords, shields, spears, and bows, ignored the passing Minotaur and the three figures behind him.
Luo En's gaze swept over each guard's face, a subtle smile appearing in his eyes.
What a coincidence, they are all familiar faces from Crete...
Moments later, Minotaur reached the top of the stairs, his muscles bulging as he pushed open the heavy stone doors with effort.
"Accused, enter..."
The deep and aged voice echoed in the vast and deep hall, and the three filed in.
The massive stone doors with light patterns pulsating closed of their own accord, sealing off all sound and breath.
The surroundings returned to dead silence as if nothing happened.
At that moment, Luo En, now inside the great hall, felt a sense of comfort like coming home upon seeing the familiar architectural style and furnishings, and he instinctively greeted.
"Your..."
"Cough cough!"
The elder in the white robe seated in the hall, wearing a golden crown, tapped his golden staff, and coughed lightly.
Luo En immediately understood that during work, one should address by official title.
He quickly corrected himself, adopting a respectful demeanor and bowing.
"Judge, your well-being is honored."
King Minos nodded with satisfaction, opened the case file on the table, and began the formal judicial process.
"Prisoner Sisyphus, charged with blasphemy, fraud, and prison escape. The evidence is sufficient and consistent with the facts. Since he has fled here, let the court temporarily detain him, pending further transfer and processing."
At the look from that Judge of the Underworld, Minotaur below understood and lifted the unconscious Sisyphus from the ground, carrying him towards the backyard.
Luo En also expressed his agreement with this outcome.
It was just a detention, after all, and no one had mentioned that mishaps couldn't happen.
Since it was originally Hypnos's duty to guard the punished Sisyphus, and even the esteemed God of Sleep had neglected his duties, it would be quite normal for the Underworld Tribunal, whose only responsibility was to hear cases, to be negligent, right?
"As for you two..." After handling one case, King Minos looked solemnly at the two individuals below, delivering a "professional" and "fair" judgment, "The Underworld only judges the departed souls; living humans are not within my jurisdiction."
Having said this, King Minos removed the white judge's robe that represented flawless justice, draped it over the back of the chair, supported himself with the golden staff, and stood up. His aged face revealed a gentle smile.
"Long time no see, my secretary..."
Official duties now over, it was personal time.
"Indeed, it's been a long time, Your Majesty."
Luo En likewise nodded with a smile and led Tethys forward.
