Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch.

Chapter 391 Vulcan's Luxury Forging Room
Youyou's words echoed in the room.

Lin Zhongtian's face froze, and then he looked slightly embarrassed.

Indeed, this is the hinterland of a volcano. Who in the right mind would fly in directly from the crater...

Looking at Lin Zhongtian who looked slightly embarrassed, Hephaestus then remembered a key question.

"……Who are you?"

Hephaestus asked with a frown, his lava-like arms lit up with golden-red fire, obviously on guard.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "I am your father's old friend. During the ancient war, I also secretly helped him. I wonder if he ever mentioned me to you..."

"No."

Hephaestus said without hesitation.

Lin Zhongtian shrugged: "It seems that your relationship with your father is not a good one."

Hephaestus said lightly: "When I was born, I was thrown off Mount Olympus by Hera because of my ugly appearance. It was the ocean goddess Thetis who adopted me and raised me. Zeus, to me, He’s just the God-King of Olympus!”

Lin Zhongtian looked at his face and instantly understood the cold relationship between him and his parents.

Because this guy's appearance is indeed of the horrible kind.

The upper half of his face is like that of an underdeveloped primitive man, with thick eyebrows and small eyes, a short and high nose, a huge mouth occupying the entire lower jaw, and dark red lips that are thin and long, with a The teeth are sharp and short like wild beasts. If you don't pay attention when closing them, you can probably bite your lips through.

Looking at the facial features scattered randomly as if after a volcanic eruption, Lin Zhongtian thought about it and could only use the word 'wonderful' to describe it.

Even if Zeus made a clay doll at random, it would probably be three points more handsome than him. No wonder Hera disliked this son so much.

If it weren't for Hephaestus's powerful divine power and the indispensable forging ability of Olympus, he might not even be able to occupy the position of the twelve main gods of Olympus, let alone hear Zeus in bed like the Amazon Queen. Telling the secret of the ancient war...

Fortunately, Lin Zhongtian didn't care about his appearance, and immediately said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't know me, as long as I know you!"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lin Zhongtian. I come from the future. I am here to exchange knowledge about forging with you. If possible, I would also like to invite you to leave this world with me..."

Lin Zhongtian's few words contain a huge amount of information.

As a result, Hephaestus was unable to react for a while.

He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but confirm: "Are you from the future?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Hephaestus frowned and said, "Then how dare you meet me, and how dare you tell me this news?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "Don't worry, since I dare to do this, I am absolutely sure that it will not disturb the flow of time."

Hephaestus stared at Lin Zhongtian blankly, and suddenly said: "Who are you?"

Lin Zhongtian said in a leisurely tone: "I am currently living on Paradise Island. Amazon Queen Hippolyta calls me the God of Time and Space, but I consider myself just an ordinary time and space traveler. At most, I have a little more insignificant time and space than you." force……"

After saying that, Lin Zhongtian raised his hand and pinched his index finger and thumb together, indicating that it was indeed just a little more.

The corners of Hephaestus' mouth twitched slightly, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer Lin Zhongtian's words of Versailles.

After pondering for a moment, Hephaestus shook his head and said: "No matter how powerful you are, as long as you take me away, it will definitely change the future. Since you can travel through time and space, you should know what harm doing this will cause to reality, right?"

"Of course." Lin Zhongtian smiled, "But you don't care about this reality, right?"

Hephaestus fell silent. Since Ragnarok and the fall of the God of Love, he really no longer cares about the world. He only wants to live in seclusion in Mount Etna and be with the forging all day long.

Looking at the silent Hephaestus, Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly.

"It doesn't matter, you can think about this slowly, we have plenty of time..."

Before he finished speaking, Hephaestus suddenly asked: "Where are you going to take me?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhongtian was a little stunned.

He didn't expect that things would progress more smoothly than he expected.

Hephaestus seemed genuinely interested in the idea of ​​'leaving this world'.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "Go to all the worlds, see endless rare ores, and hone your forging skills to the extreme."

After finishing speaking, before Hephaestus could answer, Lin Zhongtian added: "You don't have to make a decision now. As you said, I can't take you away now. If you are really interested, just wait for me here." .”

"I will appear again in thousands of years. At that time, if you make a decision, I will take you away..."

Hephaestus's opened mouth closed again, his eyes moved slightly, and he seemed to be really moved.Lin Zhongtian smiled slightly, walked to the stone cabinet, picked up a piece of dark golden ore, and said with interest: "If I read it correctly, this thing should be the material for forging the Vulcan Sword!"

Hephaestus suddenly came to his senses, ran over quickly, took the ore away from Lin Zhongtian's hand, and then said angrily: "Now that you have seen it, how dare you do this to me?"

"Etna's gold is very precious. I have lived in seclusion here for thousands of years, and I have only dug out three pieces..."

Lin Zhongtian asked enthusiastically: "Etna gold?"

When talking about his areas of expertise, Hephaestus changed from his previous reticence and chattered: "This is a rare treasure that can only be created by the continuous magma activity at the core of Mount Etna for millions of years. It is only theoretically possible." A magical metal that only exists!”

"I searched all over the earth and only found traces of it on Mount Etna, so I named it after the mountain, and named it Etna Gold..."

"Although the hardness of this metal itself is not top-notch, it is the best quenching agent and blender in the world. As long as you add a little when forging a weapon, the hardness and sharpness of the entire weapon can be improved by more than one level. !”

"The Vulcan Sword you saw on Paradise Island is the sword I forged with [Adamantine Gold] and [Volcanic Gold]. Its sharpness surpasses all my previous works, and it can strike at the subatomic level. Carry out chopping..."

Hephaestus kept talking to Lin Zhongtian about the characteristics of Etna's gold.

That hideous and ugly face seemed to become elated and shine as a result.

Seeing Hephaestus talking about his areas of expertise, Lin Zhongtian finally understood why he was able to pursue Athena, the goddess of wisdom...

Lin Zhongtian looked at Hephaestus with interest, and asked a few key questions when he paused from time to time.

And Hephaestus seemed to like to be a teacher in this regard, and took the trouble to explain every problem to Lin Zhongtian.

The two of them chatted for three whole days and three nights.

When his mouth was dry from chatting, Hephaestus warmly invited Lin Zhongtian to his forging room.

Lin Zhongtian readily agreed, and then went to the forging room at the bottom of the volcano with Hephaestus.

This place is located under the lava lake at the bottom of Mount Etna. The ground was hollowed out around the central magma lake, and then such an extremely spacious and luxurious forging room was built according to the terrain.

The center with countless hot magma spewing out is a natural furnace.

There are many thick iron chains and reinforced stone pillars tied around it, connecting the natural stove with the surrounding mountain walls, supporting the entire internal space with an exquisite structure.

There are also many holes punched in the rock wall of the stove.

Streams of hot magma flowed out of the holes and fell into the metal cauldron next to it.

In the forging room, there are also men wearing silver-gray full-body armor and closed helmets who are busy here.

Some pushed the mine carts filled with raw ore, some were responsible for pouring the minerals from the mine carts into the cauldron, and some stood on the edge of the cauldron with a thick metal stick and kept stirring.

These people are the followers of Hephaestus, the Amazon men who were abandoned by Paradise Island.

Lin Zhongtian looked at them thoughtfully, and suddenly there was a steaming amber cup in front of him.

The wine in the glass took on a golden-red color, like the hot lava that was constantly rolling and bubbling.

Lin Zhongtian took the amber cup and took a sip. He found that the taste was not bad, but the temperature was a little too high.

Hephaestus drank it down, then laughed and said: "It's been a long time since anyone has been able to communicate with me about forging skills like you. Even I haven't mastered many of the skills you mentioned - don't blame me for speaking bluntly. Bai, these techniques shouldn't be original to you, right?

"Yes, I learned them all from other worlds."

Lin Zhongtian smiled and nodded, looking very calm.

Hephaestus did not look down on Lin Zhongtian because of this, but his eyes lit up and he seemed to be even more excited by his proposal.

After three days and three nights of talking, the understanding between the two parties has not deepened, but the friendship seems to have become deeper.

Lin Zhongtian also admired Hephaestus's character and decided to stay here for a few more days and show him something real.

Soon, half a month passed.

Lin Zhongtian has been staying at Mount Etna, exchanging forging skills with Hephaestus. During this period, he also shared with him many ores such as mithril from the Middle-earth world and Uru metal and vibranium from the Marvel world.

Hephaestus was worthy of being the god of forging. He quickly mastered the properties of these metals and used them to create many magical objects.

Until the return date was approaching, Lin Zhongtian had to say goodbye to Hephaestus.

Hephaestus was very interested in the endless supply of precious ores in Lin Zhongtian's hands. The two made a thousand-year agreement to formally talk about leaving this world when they meet next time.

After leaving Mount Etna, Lin Zhongtian hesitated before returning to Paradise Island, preparing to formally say goodbye to little Diana before leaving.
