Volume 20, Chapter 60, Joining
"Can this really be a weapon?"
"It should be true, but whether it is possible or not has to wait until I figure out the principle of it." I nodded and confirmed Hephaestus's words.
When he heard that it was really useful, Hephaestus immediately rushed up excitedly, then grabbed my arm and asked, "How to use this?"[]
"Hepaistos." A very refreshing female voice suddenly appeared in front of the palace gate in the distance, and instantly stopped Heepaistos who were holding me and constantly asking questions.
Hephaestus immediately turned around when he heard the voice, and our eyes immediately moved to the source of the voice. It was obvious that this was a woman, and she was quite beautiful. However, unlike Victoria and the ultimate beauty that had no personality and was extremely beautiful, it was a kind of beauty belonging to the world. It was flawed, but it felt more real. In short, this was a woman who could find shortcomings in her, but still felt extremely beautiful in her overall.
If you want to talk about the shortcomings, or characteristics of this woman, it is her most beautiful thing. Unlike the beauty of Victoria or Ling, who is not allowed to enter a strange person, this woman has a very wise face. You will think that she is a smart and capable woman at first glance. If you want to make a movie, let her play the role of a personal secretary around a national-level big shot, it would be more suitable. You don’t even have to dress her up. Just tie her hair up and wear a pair of glasses, that is the most perfect image of a secretary. Of course, if you wear a women’s suit, it would be even more perfect.
"Medea, come here quickly and I will introduce you to my savior."
The beauty over there immediately came over when she heard Hephaestus's words. After getting closer, she first asked us hello, and then turned to Hephaestus in confusion and asked, "Where is the benefactor you mentioned?"
"That's it." Hephaestus said, pointing to Victoria.
Medea obviously didn't react. After looking up and down, he thanked Victoria first, and then asked Hephaestus: "Didn't you say that the one who saved you back then was a beautiful aunt? Is this...?"
"Oh, Victoria's appearance changed a little for some reasons. But even she was only twenty-one or two years old at the time, but I was still a child at that time, so I naturally called her aunt."
Medea nodded and expressed his understanding, thanked Victoria again, and then turned to me and asked, "So who is this?" Because there was no high temperature here, Xiaofeng had been put away by me.
When he heard Medea ask, Victoria took the lead without waiting for the introduction of Hephaestus and said: "This is my master Zi Ri."
"Purple Ri?" Medea's voice was obviously surprised, and his muscles were tense in an instant. I even felt the magic nets around me tremble. It was obvious that Medea had heard my name and was quite afraid. Sure enough, she immediately asked: "Are you the president of the Frost Rose Alliance Zi Ri? Are the chaos and order gods yours?"
"What? Do you know him?" Herphastos's experience was obviously weaker than Medea, because he obviously didn't know me. Although my reputation was not worthy of being a human being, after all, we had just had a large-scale conflict with the Olympus tribe, and they also abducted Hades and the others. As a member of the Olympus tribe, even if he was excluded, Hephastos had no reason not to know my existence. So Hephastos was a completely technical mate, except for making irons and studying various equipment.
, He had almost no concern for things outside of the residence. But Medea was obviously not that kind of person, at least she knew my existence. But this was more reasonable. After all, the lava crypt could not be completely closed. They always had to contact the outside world. Since Hephaestus was not in charge, someone had to deal with these things. If the news from the warrior was correct, then it would be natural for Medea to handle these things. After all, except Hephaestus, she had actually become the owner of this place.
Hearing Herphaistus' inquiry, Medea immediately said: "It's not that I know, but that I have heard of it. You are probably the only one here who doesn't know who he is."
"Oh? Is this true?" Hephaestus asked in confusion at a maid who came out of the palace with Medea: "Do you know who he is?"
The maid immediately replied: "I didn't know it at first, but if he was Zi Ri, the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, then I would know a lot about him."
Hephaestus immediately said in surprise: "So you really know?" He said and turned to me again, and asked: "Why are you so famous? Even my maid knows you!"
"If you have the ability to kidnap the Sea King Poseidon and his entire Sea God Legion, others will remember you." Victoria's answer did not make Hephaestus understand, but instead made him even more confused. In the end, Medea could not bear it anymore and forced him to explain the recent changes in the world to him. Then Hephaestus looked at me in surprise and sighed in surprise.
In fact, Hephaestus is not stupid, nor is he ignorant. He is just too homeless. Even if modern otakus and otakus women don’t go out, they can still use the Internet to communicate with the outside world. In terms of information, the amount of information received by these otakus and otakus may even exceed those who run outside every day. But the problem is that Hephaestus does not have computers and networks available, so his only source of information is Medea. As a partner, nanny, and secretary, Medea knows Hephaestus very well. She knows that Hephaestus doesn’t care about these things. If you can’t use them, even if you talk to him, he may not listen, so instead of being annoying, it’s better not to say it. Therefore, until now Hephaestus doesn’t know that the Olympus tribe has changed from a three-type god to a two-type god.
After Medea briefly introduced these things to Hephaestus, Hephaestus fully understood my identity, but people like him were destined not to change because of other people's identity. After listening to my deeds, he not only did not have any awe, but instead rushed up enthusiastically and hugged me by my neck and wanted to drink and celebrate. As for what to celebrate, do you still need to ask? Of course, it is to celebrate Zeus's unluckyness.
Of course, I had no intention of rejecting Herphaistus' enthusiasm. Medea looked at my face first, and saw that I didn't seem to react, so he didn't stop it, and asked the maid to prepare wine and food.
After we sat on the table and drank the first glass of wine, I began to express my intentions. Of course, my main goal was Medea rather than Héphaestus. I have seen that the gossip that the warrior said before was fine. Héphaestus was indeed obedient to Medea's words, and Héphaestus was completely unreliable. Apart from some technical expertise, he was actually not much better than a child in life. Except for researching equipment, Héphaestus was almost all things Héphaestus was in charge of. Sometimes I even felt that Medea was like a woman who was more fucking than his.
There were only Victoria and I, Hephaestus and Medea on the table, but only Hephaestus was actually drinking and chatting. Sometimes he would talk to me about how I got Hades and the others out of the Olympus tribe, and sometimes he would talk to Victoria about what happened back then.
Except for Hephaestus, the three of us were not chatting. Victoria was completely accompanied and was mainly responsible for restraining Hephaestus to prevent him from talking too much so that Medea and I couldn't talk, while I was talking to Medea about the transfer. Of course, during this period, I had to deal with Hephaestus' occasional inquiries.
"President Zi Ri, I sincerely confirm that we hope to be a member of the God of Chaos and Order, but we have to think about ourselves." Medea is indeed a housekeeper-level figure, much smarter than the idiot in life of Hephaestus.
"Your consciousness is…?"
"You should also know that Hephaestus's position in the Olympus tribe is very marginal, and the Olympus tribe is not afraid of Hephaestus's strength. Hades can fight with you because his situation will not get worse. At that time, the Gods and the Gods were already excluding their Underworld tribe. With Hades and their strength, even if the defection plan was exposed, Zeus could not really turn against the Underworld tribe completely. At most, it would only be verbally punished and then a series of exclusion and framed. Anyway, Hades and the others were already being excluded and framed, so he was not worried that Zeus would exclude him any more."
When Medea said this, I took the initiative to stop her from speaking and said directly: "I think I understand what you mean. Does Miss Medea mean that Hephaestus does not have enough strength to protect himself, so if the rebellion is discovered, it will definitely be completely killed in the end, so you don't want to take risks, right?"
Medea did not respond, but kept looking at me, but the meaning was already very obvious.
After staring at her for a while, until even Hephaestus found something wrong with the atmosphere, I spoke, "Miss Medea, as a smart man, I think you should also understand that pies will never fall from the sky. Even if the pies fall, it must be the bait for the hunter. Herphaestus' ability is very important, but our Frost Rose Alliance does not mean that we can't play without him. With Herphaestus' joining, we will add icing on the cake, and without us, we will still be the most powerful convoy. But Medea, not all forces in this world have long-term visions like us. Once this operation is successful, the Olympus tribe will inevitably be broken into pieces, and the order of the entire god system will be broken. With your identity and status, will you have the ability to preserve yourself under that chaos?"
"But what if you fail?"
"Yes, we may fail, I don't deny that, but you have heard of our plan, and you can't deny that we have a bigger chance of winning, right?"
Medea nodded and said, "Yes, according to this plan, your chances of winning are more than 80%. But even if your chances of winning are 99%, I will not bet on Hephaestus's life."
"No, you have no choice, because when we decide to start this plan, you fall into the bet. Whether you choose or not." My words made Medea look stunned for a moment, afraid that she would not guess the connection, so I continued: "Follow us and you will be pressed on us. If we win, you will be free from this. If you refuse, then you are not out of the matter, but actually pressed on Zeus. Because whether you agree or not, I will not make things difficult for you, but
Once the Olympus tribe is crippled and loses self-control, then you will be the first unlucky existence. So, if you don’t join us, you will choose to join Zeus. For you, the bet has actually opened, and you have already put the chips on Zeus, who has only 20% chance of winning. But now you have a chance to repent. If you grasp it well, you may move the chips on Zeus, who has only 20% chance of winning to us. I don’t think it’s very difficult to choose this bet, right?”
"It's indeed not difficult to choose." Medea suddenly pulled out an olive branch from his body and handed it over. "Happy cooperation."
"Happy cooperation." I smiled and took the olive branch and carefully collected it. This thing is the simplest contract in Greece. Handing it out means goodwill such as agreeing to cooperate.
After both sides agreed to cooperate, Medea began to tell Hephaestus about joining us, and the result was just as we thought before. Hephaestus had no objection at all. He didn't even care much about whether he belonged to the Olympus tribe or the Chaos and Order tribe. Anyway, he was just a technical lord. As long as he didn't affect his research, it would be fine.
Medea naturally deals with things like moving, and after Hephaestus agreed to join us, he naturally had to make some contributions. Of course, there is no need to think about hoping for him to fight. This guy himself has no combat power, and he really doesn't like fighting, so it's meaningless to pull him onto the battlefield. Besides, he is just a scientific researcher like him. You can't expect Einstein to join the war like an ordinary soldier, right? Of course, not having to go to the front line does not mean that he has nothing to do. In fact, he not only has something to do, but also has a lot of things to do.
"Did you see something?" I was wearing a vow suit and switching to the silver moon form. At this time, I was standing in the room where the steel furnace was before, watching Hephaestus busy around the Dragon Soul suit on the table. It's really stupid. I didn't need to summon Xiaofeng to help before, and I would just switch to the silver moon form. You should know that Silver Moon's main attack is fire method. Sometimes the Sun God skill is not afraid of high temperatures at all. Besides, among the four upper god rings of Silver Moon, there is a ring of flame given by the Fire God. Carrying that thing is simply fire immunity. Not to mention this temperature, even if I climb into the stove and take a bath with iron, there will be no problem.
Compared to me who was a little anxious, Hephaestus was extremely excited now because he was studying my Dragon Soul suit.
The original basis of the Dragon Soul suit was the Magic Dragon suit. The thing was made by the Dragon Clan and had a distinct dragon clan technical style. For Hephaestus, this thing is of great research value. In addition, the later Dragon Clan suit also incorporated Chinese national weapons and was transformed by Nuwa's divine power, which was equivalent to bringing the power of the superior god. Of course, the most prominent thing is eternity. This guy has now completely advanced into a regular weapon, and its power is self-evident.
Even Hephaestus has never seen such top-quality equipment before. There are indeed high-quality equipment he has made, such as Aphrodite's set, which is very good. However, that's just good. Compared with the Dragon Soul suit, it's a bunch of slags and can be rebuilt directly.
Under my urging, Hephaestus finally put down the metal compass-like thing in his hand, and said, "This thing is too complicated. The magic pattern on it is actually protected by anti-snooping, and even my spoiler failed!"
The plagiarism mentioned by Hephaestus is the compass-like thing he just grabbed in his hand. This thing is a magical machine composed of several concentric rings embedded together. Each ring can be rotated individually, and it is also engraved with dense magic patterns. As long as the crystal in the center of this thing is attached to the magic pattern surface to be printed, and then the metal ring outside is turned to adjust to the appropriate reading intensity, the magic patterns carved on the surface of the object and even the inside of the object can be read out and displayed on the other side of the lens.
This device is actually equivalent to a tomography scanner, but it is specially used to scan magic patterns. However, even this kind of thing is still a tiger gnawing on a turtle when facing the Dragon Soul suit, and there is no way to get off the mouth. The surface of the Dragon Soul suit is covered with a special magic barrier. This thing was originally intended to resist magic attacks and hide the magic fluctuations of the wearer, but now it is isolated from the scanning of the Ragator. As a result, we scanned for a long time and didn't read anything.
"Will you have no choice without this thing?" I asked at Hephaestus with some anger.
Hephaestus may be easy-going in other aspects, but he is very arrogant in his professionalism. When he heard me say this, he immediately shouted, "How could I have no choice? Wait, I will let you see my skills." Hephaestus said, and ran to the shelf next to him, then took a lot of bottles and jars and piled them on the table, then brought a bunch of equipment, and then began to prepare the potions as if they were going to do an experiment.
After more than an hour of busy work, the guy finally took out a drop of green liquid that had just condensed from the last instrument in the pile of instruments. Then he carefully sucked in the drop of liquid with a drop of liquid, and then carefully moved the thing to the surface of the Dragon Soul suit.
Seeing his movements, I knew he was going to drip the liquid on the Dragon Soul suit, but seeing his careful appearance, it seemed that the liquid was a little dangerous. I was a little worried that he would destroy the Dragon Soul suit, but thinking about the level of the Dragon Soul suit, I gave up the plan of persuasion. After all, it is a double combination of magical artifacts and national weapons, so it should not be so easy to break.
The facts finally proved my guess, but it was even more powerful than I thought. Just as Hephaestus carefully dripped the drop of green liquid on the surface of the Dragon Soul suit, it seemed as if he had thrown explosives into the fire. There was a loud bang, and with a ball of white smoke rising, the entire table instantly flew out in pieces. The instruments and equipment and various metal parts on it flew everywhere, and Hephaestus himself was also directly lifted out. If his subordinates hadn't pulled him quickly, the guy would have almost flew into the magma river.
Hephaestus, who ran back, had a dark face and his hair became a super Saiyan-like shape, all of which were standing upwards. However, this guy didn't care about these issues at all. He ran to the position where the wreckage of the table was located, then found the Dragon Soul suit that fell to the ground, and then quickly found the rubbing device and covered it with green liquid to start reading the magic pattern.
Not to mention, this time it did work, but after only five seconds of perseverance, Hephaestus suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?" I thought something was wrong, so I hurried up and asked.
Hephaestus shook his head, then turned to look at me with a wry smile and said, "Where did you get this equipment? Is this too exaggerated?"
"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"
"What's wrong? This is completely wrong. The green liquid I just used is made of high-profile magic material, which can release energy from the magic circuit and absorb the energy. At the same time, when the green liquid receives energy, it will form a protective layer to block the energy return. In this way, the magic pattern on the surface of your armor will temporarily lose its shielding function because of the loss of energy. I did use this time to read a small piece of magic pattern."
“Isn’t that great?”
"If it's just like this, that's really good, but just now, the magic pattern actually reactivated!"
"Didn't you say that the green liquid will block the magic energy from flowing back after absorbing energy, thus causing the magic pattern to temporarily fail? Then how can it restore its magic power?"
"This is the problem!" Hephaestus said with a wry smile: "I have checked it and can't find the magic pattern trajectory at all. I have no idea how it charges it! And the speed is too fast. Such a complex magic pattern should require a lot of energy to run, but it actually rebooted after only five seconds!"
"No, it's already eight seconds since you were blown away."
"Even eight seconds is too fast. The magic pattern system with the fastest gathering energy I have seen before is dozens of times slower than yours! Besides, it is originally a low magic array, which is completely different from your high magic type!"
"Anyway, you just can't do it?"
"No, how could I have no choice? It's just that the first two methods failed. I have other methods."
"Then you're going to try it out soon."
Hephaestus, who was originally quite arrogant in terms of technology, has become afraid to talk back to me since he failed twice in a row. He was hit hard by my Dragon Soul suit. The third time he moved a lot of things from his palace and assembled a huge equipment that looked like a drilling machine tool. After completing this large equipment, he put the breastplate of the Dragon Soul suit on the machine tool, then stuffed a few magic crystals into the machine tool as power, and finally started the equipment.
Perhaps he learned his lesson. This time Hephaestus did not stand beside the machine tool and waited to see the result. Instead, he just pushed the starter up and jumped to us like a frightened rabbit. Then he actually took a shield and pushed it in front. He hid behind the shield and only exposed his head to observe the situation outside.
Originally, except for Hephaestus, his assistants didn't care much about it, and just hid far away. Now seeing his appearance, the helpers became nervous, and finally they all went to get a shield to block them.
In fact, Hephaestus is quite good, at least his estimate is very accurate. The machine did explode in the end, and its power is amazing, which is similar to Hephaestus' inference. However, the only thing he missed was the power of the explosion of the machine. He did know that it would explode, and he did know that it was very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so large. After the explosion, the whole room seemed to be attacked by nuclear weapons. The huge explosion wind instantly smashed all the people holding the shield like a big hammer, and then kept hitting the wall behind him. He stuck in the wall, and finally stopped. If it weren't for the fact that many of them were considered gods, they would have to hang several directly.
Of course, I was much more calm than them. When the explosion occurred, I flashed into the training space and walked out again after two seconds. However, at this time, there were only metal fragments left in the hole and a row of guys rolling around under the wall covering their chests.
The Dragon Soul suit was intact during the explosion. The giant machine has now become tens of thousands of pieces and is scattered throughout the cave. Of course, there are many fragments embedded in the walls, and many things have fallen into the lava river. I don’t know where to wash it. However, Hephaestus’s efforts were at least in vain, because just after I reappeared, he rushed to the center of the explosion excitedly, and then picked up a golden metal disc with uneven lines from the ground.
"What is this?" I asked curiously.
Hephaestus smiled proudly and said, "Hehe, this is a special metal I accidentally discovered. As long as you let powerful energy pass through a magic array and then pass through this metal, this metal can copy the magic array to yourself. But I only know that it has this characteristic, but I didn't understand how it was implemented. But there is no hurry. Now at least we have gotten the magic array on your armor."
"Note that it is the magic array on the front of the breastplate, and the back of the breastplate and other parts are not here. I wonder how many of the kind of blow-off equipment you have just now? Is it enough to blow up?"
Chapter completed!
