Hong Fei stretched out his hand.

The gray mist quickly and obediently gathered from the dispersed state. At the same time, it turned towards Hong Fei in a light and agile manner like water flow. They leisurely rotated around the palm of the hand, filled with an indescribable spirituality.

With the dual blessing of the eyes of death and super vision, Hong Fei could see that although they looked half like mist on the surface, they were actually extremely small particles that were looming and blooming and converging in a rapid cycle of light.

The external image displayed.

Those particles are constantly changing just like the appearance seen by the naked eye.

"How is it?" Hephaestus asked impatiently.

Hong Fei nodded and smiled: "It feels very good."

As he spoke, he took the mist into his body.

Hephaestus was anxious: "What can it do? Can you let me see it?"

Hong Fei thought for a while and did not directly demonstrate. Instead, he gave some answers in words: "It can do many things, and the abilities of the main materials that make up it have been completely absorbed by it.

It has been retained, and its success has also led to the promotion of those abilities, and also derived some very strange functions. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most magical item I have ever seen and known, and it has no

one."

Just listening to these words, Hephaestus felt that his soul was so comfortable and shaken that he felt like he was about to leave his body.

But he wanted to see with his own eyes the power of his work.

However, Hong Fei obviously had no such idea, and Hephaestus did not have the ability to force him to perform.

So, his eyes moved quickly, and then he said in a sincere tone: "If you are going to use it, please be sure to take me with you. I want to see how it is actually used."

"Okay." Hong Fei no longer politely refused. This was a sign of respect for the forger and the welfare that the other party deserved.

Other than that…

Hong Fei's eyes flashed rapidly for a moment, and then a smile as gentle as the breeze suddenly appeared on his face without any trace.

"Hephaestus, forging is your hobby?"

Hephaestus was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then said naturally: "Of course, but the emergence of this hobby is sudden. I am the God of Fire. I have an innate keen perception and ability to control flames. A long time ago

, I didn’t think about using flames to forge anything. I thought about the same thing as many other gods, how to make my divine power grow faster, how to make my flame power more and more powerful.

, it would be best if I could directly defeat all the gods of Olympus with the help of fire."

Hong Fei nodded: "It's normal. This is an ideal that every person with power has ever thought about. Even many people still maintain this mentality. If you don't have a heart that wants to conquer everything, then in pursuit of

On the road to strength, it is very possible to lose yourself and go off track.”

Hephaestus glanced at him, "But this is not only beneficial. Many people who pursue power will always lose their original intention due to persistence. They don't even remember the reason why they wanted to pursue power in the first place. In the end,

For the sake of strength, they will do anything." When he said this, his tone was inexplicably more emotional, and his eyes changed accordingly, as if he suddenly thought of some unbearable past.

"Like Ares?" Hong Fei quickly thought of what he was secretly referring to.

"Yes. Ares, God of War... haha..." Hephaestus shook his head and said: "He is the most outstanding son of Zeus. Many years ago, Zeus often asked Ares to go out to fight on his behalf.

Years of continuous fighting have made Ares stronger and stronger, and his divine power has grown as never before."

Hong Fei nodded: "The greater the scale of the war, the stronger his strength will be. This is the characteristic of his godhead."

"Yeah, at that time, Ares was infinitely glorious, but I was just an inconspicuous little god. I couldn't even say a word to him. At that time, I still thought it was strange that a god-king like Zeus,

Why are Ares allowed to continue to accumulate and improve his strength through war? This is definitely not a good thing for him." Hephaestus paused, suddenly raised his head, looked at Hong Fei and asked a question

.

"Do you know why?"

Hearing this, Hong Fei suddenly smiled: "Test me?"

Hephaestus smiled but said nothing, the meaning was clear.

Hong Fei shook his head, "It's just playing hard to get. If God wants to destroy him, he must first make him crazy. The prelude to madness is to continuously and quickly satisfy the other party's desires until he becomes greedy and can't extricate himself. Is that right?

?”

Hephaestus took a gentle breath, and then said leisurely: "You are really smart."

"Thank you for the compliment."

To put it simply, what Zeus did is nothing more than another story of "Zheng Burke Duan Yu Yan".

If you want to eliminate a person, you don't necessarily have to kill him directly, because outside discussions will always affect the overall situation you control to a greater or lesser extent.

What Duke Zhuang of Zheng wants to deal with is his younger brother.

What Zeus wants to deal with is his son.

They are all close relatives of flesh and blood, and they all hold high positions. Selling them directly will inevitably have a huge negative impact.

They are both playing hard to get, and are deliberately letting each other's ambitions continue to expand until they finally sink into madness.

By then, if they attack from the perspective of the victim, no one will be able to say anything, at least not on the surface.

But this requires a very important prerequisite, that is, the person who implements it must have very tenacious endurance and be mentally prepared to take a long time to catch the big fish.

In layman's terms, they are all examples of "old silver coins".

Hephaestus sighed: "I didn't understand what Zeus did back then. It wasn't just me. I believe that many gods on Mount Olympus didn't understand why Ares could always steal the show. As

Although the power of gods far exceeds that of ordinary humans on the earth, and they are worshiped and admired by people, to be honest, most of them do not have corresponding wisdom. Their power makes them ignore the role of wisdom, and in the end they even become unable to think.

It was extremely difficult.”

"Pride always makes people blindly confident."

"You're right, that's the fact. When Ares' greed grew to an extremely high level, he set his sights on Zeus's position as the God King. Later..."

Hong Fei answered: "He is dead."

"Yes, he is dead. Although it was Diana who killed him for the last time, Diana is his daughter. Who can guarantee that this was not part of his arrangement?"

"Listening to what you said, it seems that Ares was not the only driving force behind the world war?"

"I don't know, but these things are not important anymore. The main reason why I mentioned this matter is to see what kind of person you are."

Hong Fei didn't take it seriously, but asked him curiously: "So you know now?"

Hephaestus still shook his head: "I don't know, but your wisdom made me give up searching for the answer. You are better at thinking than me, and you are born as an ordinary human being. Although sometimes you are a little overbearing, but overall

I mean, you are a good person."

Hong Fei immediately grinned.

"To answer your question again. I was thrown out of Olympus when Ares was at its most glorious. At first, I wanted to take revenge all the time. Until one day, I met an ex-Olympian beside Mount Etna.

A blacksmith who comes to look for minerals."

"blacksmith?"

"Yeah, you didn't expect it, right? The Vulcan actually learned the forging from a human blacksmith."

"I really didn't expect that."

"When I met him, he was already old, but he was in good spirits, because his daughter was about to get married, and he was going to build a carriage for his daughter as a dowry... Sorry, I'm biased, in short

, he led me into the forging door. When I first saw the metal melting in the flames, when I swung the hammer to hit the red metal for the first time and the debris flew, I found that I had fallen in love with it.

Learn this art.”

Hong Fei nodded: "It suits you very well."

"Yes, the god of fire and forging are a perfect match." Hephaestus looked quite proud.

The next second, Hong Fei said: "Follow me from now on. I will let you come into contact with more and more exotic metals. I promise to give you countless forging opportunities, whether it is daily practice or maintenance."

I can satisfy you regardless of your status or to challenge difficulties. I like your hobby very much and it will be a good helper for me."

Hearing this, Hephaestus was startled at first.

Then, when he was about to shake his head instinctively, Hong Fei took the lead and said something without beginning or end.

"By the way, since I came here, it seems that no one alive has ever rejected me."

Hephaestus' face twitched: Why don't you just tell me that everyone who rejects you is already dead!

Hephaestus looked serious and said in a serious tone: "I am very happy."

"Hahaha! Okay! You are indeed the person I like. You have great vision and the talent to make choices!"

"Hahaha..." Hephaestus laughed along with him, but in his heart he had already silently added a note to Hong Fei's name: He fell out of love very quickly! Surpassing Zeus!

Hong Fei said: "Actually, you really should follow me."

Hephaestus: Do I dare not to follow?

"I don't need to say more about who Zeus is. Although he is your father, he has so many sons. Talking about family relationships with Zeus is as unreliable as falling in love with a lady in bed. Don't forget,

Behind the material of this thing are weapons that he has used for countless years."

The three major artifacts of the three brothers of Zeus: thunder, invisibility helmet and golden trident.

All these things were melted by Hephaestus, and finally formed the colorful fluid from before.
