Chapter 262 The God of Forging with Wrong Style

"This is it." Al pointed to a bubbling magma pool in front of him and said to Zheng Shu.

They are now in a wide karst cave, affected by the heat of the magma pool, the karst cave that should have been wet was abnormally dry, and the stalactites around the magma pool were severely damaged by the high temperature.

To be honest, there is a lava pool in the cave. This kind of ghost phenomenon is enough to shock anyone who has studied geography.

If this was placed in Zheng Shu's world before his time travel, entering science would allow at least ten more episodes to be filmed.

"It is indeed here." The corner of Zheng Shu's mouth twitched unconsciously. He sensed a lot of fiery divine power here, indicating that this place is indeed the location of Hephaestus, the god of fire and casting.

The magma pool in front of me appeared because it was born under the influence of divine power for a long time.That is to say, the message from the sun god Apollo to Zheng Shu did not mean that Hephaestus would settle next to the magma, but that as long as Hephaestus settled in the place where Hephaestus settled, there would inevitably be magma.

Looking at the environment in front of him, Zheng Shu was amazed. He didn't find any signs of deliberate transformation.

In other words, even if the existence of gods only lives in a certain place for a long time, it will have a huge impact on the local natural environment. The magic and divine power they naturally dissipate in their daily lives are enough to transform the surrounding environment.

Taking a peek at the leopard, Zheng Shu also had a rough positioning of the strength of the twelve main gods of Olympus through this magma pool. To his surprise, he found that he could already see the backs of these main gods.

Calculated according to the growth rate of Hercules' own strength after completing the first trial, after he really completed the twelve trials, his strength should at least be able to touch the lower limit of the main god level.

While thinking about it, Zheng Shu heard the crisp sound of "dang, dang, clang" from iron striking. The sound of iron striking was clearly around his ears, but there was no way that there was anything around that could make such a sound.

Zheng Shu turned his head and glanced at Al, who was still anxious beside him. It was obvious that the young man didn't hear the corresponding voice either.

Smiling, Zheng Shu took out a bag of "instant noodles" and a few gold coins from the luggage behind him and handed them over: "Thank you for leading the way, this is the reward for leading the way, this is indeed the place I want to come .”

Al glanced at the thing in Zheng Shu's hand but didn't reach out to pick it up, but mustered up the courage to look up into Zheng Shu's eyes: "You are here to find Lord Hephaestus, right?"

"Oh, very sharp little guy." Zheng Shu smiled in surprise, "I don't want to deceive you, your guess is right."

Al's mood dropped visibly to the naked eye, but only for a moment, then he cheered up again, and pulled out a few weapons he had made from his back and stuffed them into Zheng Shu's hands:
"I'm giving you all these weapons. Although they may not be of much use to your strength, they can be sold at a good price in the city-state.

I don't have much request. Judging from your performance just now, you should have found the trace of Lord Hephaestus. I didn't find it, which means that my current level is not qualified to meet Lord Hephaestus. .

Since Lord Hephaestus feels that I am not qualified to meet him, I will not force it.However, I hope you can show these few weapons to Lord Hephaestus, if you can get a review from Lord Hephaestus... No!That is my extravagant request, I just hope that you can let Lord Hephaestus take a look at my results. "

Changing from his taciturn image when they first met, Al seemed to have already written the script deep in his heart, and he uttered a lot of words continuously as soon as he opened his mouth.

After finally finishing these words in one breath, Al looked at Zheng Shu nervously, expecting his reaction.

Taking a close look at the weapons made by Ai Er, Zheng Shu felt the fluctuation of divine power around him, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "You are actually trying to ask the gods to help you comment and guide, what a greedy little guy But it just so happens that I am very kind, so... your commission, I will accept it!"

A look of surprise appeared on Al's face. Because he was so excited, his hands that could easily hold the heavy hammer even trembled uncontrollably: "Thank you very much, thank you very much!"

"Okay, save the words of thanks for when I come out. It's about time for you to leave here. I'm not sure whether the power emitted by the gods will hurt you, little guy." Zheng Shu said these words Stuffing the weapon into his backpack, he reached out and pushed Al towards the outside of the cave.

"Yes! I'll leave right away! Thank you very much!" Al was very persuasive and ran out of the cave decisively. He turned around and bowed to Zheng Shu again when he was about to leave the entrance of the cave.

"What a nice little guy." Zheng Shu smiled and waved to Al.

"Yes, he is considered to be more talented among my disciples."

I don't know when the clear and crisp sound of hammering iron has gone away, and a thick male voice came from Zheng Shu's ear.

The magma pool next to him suddenly fluctuated violently. After a while, the magma inside erupted from the magma pool as if it had life, covering the entire cave.

The environment around Zheng Shu also became hotter. The original cave had disappeared from Zheng Shu's field of vision, and the environment he was in now looked more like the inside of an active volcano.

Zheng Shu looked at the changes in the surrounding environment without the slightest fear, but with a smile on his face.

Feeling the node of the fluctuation of divine power, he took a step forward without hesitation.

In the next moment, there was a wonderful change in the space. Zheng Shu saw the surrounding scenes receding rapidly, and the surrounding light began to become distorted.

When the foot he took landed on the ground, an ancient and splendid bronze hall appeared in front of Zheng Shu.

Looking at the unusually heavy bronze door in front of him, Zheng Shu took a deep breath, puffed up his muscles, stepped forward, and pushed against the bronze door with all his strength.

"Fuck!"

The weight of the bronze door was far beyond Zheng Shu's imagination, it was not too heavy, but too light.

The moment Zheng Shu's hand touched the bronze door, he felt as if he had touched two balls of light cotton candy.

With just a little force, the entire bronze door flew out in a whirl, crashing into the wall directly in front of it, and even the door frame and wall next to it were also greatly damaged.

For a moment, the originally beautiful and solemn bronze hall was turned into a "relic" by Zheng Shu.

"..."

Looking at the messy scene in front of him, Zheng Shu fell into a long silence. He had already started to think whether it would be better for him to leave now.

"...Then what, mine is an automatic door, you don't need to use so much force. And... come back to me! Don't think that you can escape on the spot by destroying my door like this."

Because Zheng Shu's operation was too shocking, even Hephaestus, who is a god, was silent for a long time before reacting.

But before he could finish his sentence, the originally gentle and gentle voice became a little annoyed.

"You have misunderstood Mr. Hephaestus. I just feel that the scenes outside are a bit special, so I want to study them carefully." Zheng Shu turned and walked into the bronze hall with a righteous face. Someone who is going to sneak away.

"Come in, I'm inside." It seemed that Hephaestus didn't want to argue with Zheng Shu for too long, so he simply gave the order.

Since the owner here has allowed him to enter, Zheng Shu will naturally not be timid.

Ignoring the oncoming heat wave, he turned along the side wall and entered the casting room deep in the bronze hall. In the room full of lava and casting tools, Zheng Shu found Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging. s.

The image of this god should be regarded as the most mediocre and inconspicuous among the gods that Zheng Shu encountered. The whole looks like an ordinary blacksmith, and the only thing that is more distinctive is probably this god. One eye is patched.

As a god who is theoretically impossible to have defects, the blindfold of Hephaestus is particularly eye-catching on him.

But... that is the case for humans in this era.

"Combat power detector?" Zheng Shu's expression was a little distorted, because the so-called "eye patch" on Hephaestus' eyes looked like the combat power detector in Dragon Ball.

However, the place on the machine that should have been a transparent screen was completely dark, as if the god's eyes were covered by a black device.And this machine is not hung on the ear, and the part where it connects to Hephaestus looks more like "fusion" or "inlay" than "mounting".

The shape of the part where the machine connected to Hephaestus' skin became somewhat blurred, and it looked more like black skin. Zheng Shu could even see the veins under the skin on the edge of the machine.

Zheng Shu could tell from the continuously flowing light on the shell of this device that this thing should be in operation all the time.

"It's a 'substance analysis detector', but I specially put this thing on my face." Hephaestus saw Zheng Shu's surprise, and pointed to the mechanical device on his eye socket very seriously. He explained, "After all, with the technology in this world, it is impossible to create a second such sophisticated instrument, and it cannot be repaired once it breaks down, so I can only fuse it with my body. In this way , even if there is something wrong with the machine, it is just a disease of the body for me, and it can be 'fixed' through self-healing ability."

In Hephaestus' understated explanation, a lot of appalling information was exposed. If Zheng Shu hadn't known information about this world before crossing over, he might have really fallen into surprise.

However, from his words, Zheng Shu also discovered that this god of fire and forging seems to be somewhat similar to a science student who doesn't know the world and concentrates on research.

"I think you should be more careful. If this kind of information is known by your believers, there may be some accidents." Zheng Shu persuaded him seriously.

"Don't worry, the human spirit is much tougher than you think. It's not that no believers have seen me like this before, and I have explained some information about myself to them, but as long as you ask the outside world about me Myths and legends know that when faced with a situation that cannot be understood, human beings automatically convert it to something they can understand."

On the contrary, Hephaestus acted a little indifferent, and continued to wave the hammer in his hand and kept beating a piece of metal in front of him.

Zheng Shu didn't intend to interrupt the other party's work, but stood aside and observed the facilities in the room while waiting quietly.

After careful observation, Zheng Shu finally found something amiss.

The forging workshop of Hephaestus looks very primitive, but after careful observation, Zheng Shu discovered that the so-called "primitive" is just a matter of style, which is probably similar to the "retro" style of ordinary people. the concept of.

The seemingly ordinary anvil is actually a stand stabilizer, which can stabilize the metal in the stand and expel all the air and dust, ensuring that the created metal does not come into contact with other substances.

The ancient iron furnace next to it, which seems to be built on magma, is actually a heat concentrating device. The heat collected from the magma can be concentrated in one point in the furnace, which greatly improves the efficiency of fusing metals.

Zheng Shu squinted his eyes and made a little calculation. Even under the current normal power operation, the temperature inside the furnace has reached a high temperature of more than 5000 degrees Celsius. Theoretically, most of the substances on the earth will melt.

No wonder this place has been under the influence of Hephaestus' divine power all year round but has not completely turned into a magma pool. This is because Hephaestus used this device to extract the heat from the newly born magma for his own forging , so that the amount of magma has been maintained at a certain amount, which can be regarded as "true self-produced and sold".

clang!
Accompanied by the last crisp knocking sound, Hephaestus took a look at his finished product, nodded in satisfaction, and put the metal back into the forging furnace to heat.

And he took this opportunity to turn his head to look at Zheng Shu: "I already know the reason for your visit, no problem! I can help you build a godly weapon that suits you."

"Ah...thank you for your help." Zheng Shu was suddenly at a loss, because although his expression didn't change much, he could feel that the God of Forging seemed to have a very... "kind" attitude towards him. ?
