Chapter 280: After all, he became the person he hates the most
The next day, Lorne, who was released from prison, drove a bronze chariot to Mount Etna where the craftsman **** Hephaestus was located, under the watchful eye of a loving father.
Along the way, he did not take any detours or look back, and went straight into the familiar cave.
Since the [Phoenix] has taken up residence in his body, the entire volcano has gone dormant, and the once hot molten cave has become quite cool.
As usual, the two metal maids guarding the door led him into the forge to meet Hephaestus.
When he saw Lorne's beard and tail appearing in front of him, the craftsman couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, his bloodshot eyes filled with deep resentment.
"You are finally back. Do you know that since you were imprisoned in Olympus Prison, my adoptive mother used the resonance technique to cry to me day and night, and I didn't sleep for such a long time? ”
Hearing this, Lorne was dumbfounded by what happened to Hephaestus, and was also moved by Thetis' concern.
It can be seen that after being forced into marriage by Peleus, she has been completely disappointed in the sea gods and those so-called relatives, and regards him as almost a spiritual support.
"Hey, I'll give you two jars first to satisfy your craving. When we get married, you can drink as much as you want!"
Hephaestus caught the immortal food and wine thrown at him, paused for a moment, then reacted, and looked at Lorne in disbelief.
"Will the old man agree to marry Thetis to you?"
"Because I paid a price."
Lorne smiled and then stretched out his arm, activating the thunder mark on it.
Suddenly, the face of Hephaestus in front of the forging platform darkened, and the expectation he had for the father **** disappeared in an instant.
Sure enough, he was still calculating to the core, and he never thought he was at fault in the whole incident.
In this case, don't blame us for learning your traditions and being filial to you!
Hephaestus snorted coldly, then stepped forward and patted Lorne on the shoulder, expressing deep relief.
"Don't worry, after a while, we may be able to help you remove the shackles of the divine seal."
"Well, I'll wait."
As the dog-headed strategist hidden behind the scenes, Lorne naturally understood the implication of the God of Craftsmanship. While nodding in agreement, he stretched out his hands wearing chains and shackles, and reminded him with a smile.
"But can you please untie these things on me first? It's quite heavy to wear them while traveling."
"Don't you have the key yourself?"
"We have to do all the tricks to put on a show. If His Majesty discovers our little tricks in private, won't we be implicated?"
Hephaestus rolled his eyes, fumbled around in the toolbox for a while, and threw out another key of the same type.
Lorne took the key and asked casually while opening the shackles.
"The last one? There's nothing else, right?"
"Don't worry. As you said, I have destroyed the molds for the shackles and keys. I will ensure that no one will use these to lock or coerce you."
Hephaestus answered weakly, unable to help but curse secretly in his heart.
Not only did this set of torture tools consume a large amount of rare materials, but it was also specifically blended with the opponent's unique divine blood. Coupled with its own unique craftsmanship, even if there were molds, it would be impossible to reproduce them. I really don't know why this kid is so cautious.
After hearing the God of Craftsman's guarantee, Lorne was completely relieved, put the untied shackles into the magic array, and then stretched out his right hand.
"what?"
Hephaestus moved the two jars of immortal delicacies and secret wine he had just received behind him, with a wary look on his face.
"Don't worry, no one will compete with you for this." Lorne, who was dumbfounded, waved his hands and explained helplessly, "As a courtesy, I want to give you a small gift."
Immediately, a golden lightning arc flashed in the open palm, and a stern and violent aura of majesty spread out.
"The divinity of Zeus?!"
The answer came out of his mouth, and Hephaestus's face changed slightly.
Lorne nodded, a playful smile on his face.
"That's right, His Majesty valued me very much and gave me this for self-defense. If you keep some as a sample, you should be able to forge a more suitable [sample] for him."
Hephaestus heard this and took a deep look at Lorne in front of him.
Obviously, this guy was also an insider in [that matter]. Immediately, the God Craftsman didn't say much, turned around and took out a small crystal bottle from the tool box, absorbing a trace of Zeus's divinity as a follow-up material.
After confirming that Hephaestus accepted his [gift], Lorne nodded with satisfaction and looked forward to the drama that was about to take place next.
It is mentioned in the first volume of "The Iliad" that Hera, Poseidon, and Pallas Athena launched a rebellion and tied Zeus with special chains, suppressing the divine power of the god-king...
The craftsmanship of the craftsman **** Hephaestus, his son has personally tried it, and there is nothing to say.
Out of "filial piety" considerations, of course, I also have to tailor a set for my newly recognized "adopted father".
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can go back first. Don't keep them waiting." After a few words of greeting, Hephaestus waved his hand and issued the eviction order, and his voice gradually became meaningful, "Besides, Mount Etna has already If it goes out, I need to find a new forging place and prepare well."
As for what to prepare, it goes without saying.
Lorne nodded, stood up, said goodbye to Hephaestus, drove the bronze chariot parked outside the cave, and drove all the way to Athens.
And when the chariot drove out of the range of Mount Etna, he picked up the key that Hephaestus originally asked him to keep privately, and the flames on his fingertips flashed, instantly disintegrating it into intangibles.
Done!
Playing with the only other key in his hand, Lorne snapped his fingers with satisfaction.
Although he believed in the character of the craftsman god, there was no guarantee that he would not be deceived or let the key leak out due to mistakes.
At that time, this "surprise" prepared for his master will have another hidden danger.
For safety's sake, it's better to just keep the key in your hand.
So next, I should make some preparations and "honor" another elder.
Lorne smiled jokingly, pulled the reins in his hands, lowered the height of the chariot, and used the cover of the forest to hide his whereabouts and headed towards his home ground, the God of War Mountain.
However, before he had gone very far, he almost collided with another car speeding towards him.
"Apollo?"
Lorne, who stopped suddenly, looked at the handsome blond driver on the opposite chariot. He couldn't help but be slightly startled. Then he turned his eyes to the back seat, and his surprise became even more intense.
"Aphrodite? Why are you here?"
That's right, sitting behind the car was the God of Love who had been missing for a long time.
Before Aphrodite could speak, Apollo answered first.
"Didn't you go to Sicily? I happened to see Aphrodite being held hostage by the Cyclops on the island, so I rescued her."
Under Apollo's faint gaze, the God of Love in the car nodded resentfully, but looked at Lorne with a touch of depression and helplessness.
As a former accomplice of the goddess of love, Lorne certainly knew why Aphrodite ran to Sicily - to live in seclusion with her young lover Adonis.
Similarly, as an accomplice of the other party, he also knew Apollo's purpose of going to Sicily—to steal the [Thunderbolt], kill the three Cyclops, and check the location in advance.
Combined with the secretive attitudes of the two parties in front of him, Lorne basically guessed what happened.
In the process of checking out the location, Apollo bumped into Aphrodite, who was living in seclusion with his young lover Adonis in Sicily, so he used this as a threat to recruit the goddess of love to join his gang.
After all, Aphrodite was enjoying her life, so she didn't need to think about what she was going to do when she went up the mountain at this time.
Considering the fact that Adonis was not with Aphrodite, Lorne estimated that the pretty boy was probably being held hostage by Apollo.
Okay, brother-in-law, you are making great progress.
Lorne glanced meaningfully at the God of Light, who was once righteous on the surface but was now completely darkened, and shook his head in secret.
In the original rebellion, there were only three main gods on the list: Hera, Poseidon, and Pallas Athena. Apollo accidentally broke through the conspiracy of the three and was coerced to join.
As a result, things took a turn, and this time Apollo became the leader of the rebels, and in turn, brought the unlucky Cupid to Olympus, forcing her to join the gang.
People, after all, they become what they hate the most.
And now, it seems that all the twelve main gods are gathered together, and they are all directly or indirectly involved in this rebellion. It is really worth the price.
After secretly sighing for a while, Luo En saw through it without saying anything. After chatting with the two main gods for a few words, he drove the bronze chariot towards the God of War Mountain.
