Volume 20, Chapter 58: Fire Mystery

Volume 20, Chapter 58: Fire Mystery Xin "Don't regret it. [ ]" Those two stone statues were probably angry too, and they were thinking about how to beat me up. So they didn't even wait for my confirmation, and they already swept over with their spears as they finished shouting.

Woo...dang...the spear with the sound of whistling wind was violently swept at the position where I was standing, followed by a whistling sound of metal collision, and at the same time, the position where I was standing suddenly rose up as if there was an explosion. A smoke ring appeared, and it wasn't until the diffuse smoke and dust fell again that everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

In the smoke and dust, I was still standing there unscathed, and I stretched out one hand to hold the wide gun blade with five fingers. Under my feet, a figure appeared on the flat rocky ground. A shallow pit more than two meters in diameter covered with spider-like cracks.

"How is that possible?" Even the stone statue guard himself was shocked. There were quite a few people who were able to dodge his attacks, and some were able to block them. However, this was definitely the first time he had seen someone who could hold the blade of a gun with only five fingers and remain motionless.

"It's not up to you to decide whether it's possible or not." I said, suddenly holding the blade of the gun and lifting it upwards, with a click the rock under my feet once again shattered into finer powder, and the stone statue over there actually became smaller because of the force on my hand. I was lifted up due to the strength and unsteadiness, and then the body drew a half-arc above my head, flew to the other side of me, and hit the ground with a bang.

Although the stone statue guard fell to the ground, the group of people watching the battle from a distance couldn't help but collectively shrink their necks, as if they themselves had been thrown.

"Oh my god, is that guy a pervert?" a player sighed.

Another player calmly analyzed: "The level must be at least 1,800, no, at least 2,000. This power is too terrifying. Even if the basic strength is increased to ten, there is absolutely no such output without level 2,000."

"But are there people above level 2,000 in the game?" A player frowned: "I remember that the guy ranked first on the level list is only over 1,700, right?"

"Silly man, Ziri has a partially functioning shielding tool on his body. You can't see his name on the level list, but according to some people from the Frost Rose Alliance, Ziri's level has already exceeded 2,000."

Hearing this voice, a silly guy next to him said weakly: "Two thousand level, I'm still less than one thousand two, this is too unfair, isn't it?"

"Idiot, I was only a thousand or a hundred levels before, but then the Frost Rose Alliance and the Russian Protoss went to war, and the Frost Rose Alliance seemed to have won. As the boss and the strongest combat power of the Frost Rose Alliance, How many protoss do you think Ziri needs to kill to win the battle?" As a fan of mine, the mummy mage obviously knows more than the average person, but after all, he is not from our guild. He knows a lot of information, but his accuracy needs to be improved. , at least my level definitely did not rise through one war alone.

"Damn, are all the Frost Rose Alliance perverts?" Another player sighed.

A female player asked unconvincedly: "Why do you say that to me? Has the Frost Rose Alliance offended you?"

"I'm not offended, but don't you know? Half of the top ten on the combat power list are from this family, and the top ten are all occupied by them. Don't you think this is perverted enough?"

The leader of the smaller group among the previous four groups suddenly said: "Everything in this world follows the laws of nature, and guild forces are no exception. There is universal gravitation between stars, and there is a gravitational pull between guilds and people. It's the same. The more powerful the guild, the stronger the attraction, so those powerful players will unconsciously crash into this huge star like an asteroid captured by gravity. "

"The analysis makes some sense, but I think the most powerful thing about the Frost Rose Alliance planet is not its size, but the fact that it has a gravitational hand on it that actively captures other asteroids."

"What is the Gravity Hand?" asked the weak player before.

A female player next to me pointed at me over there and said, "That's it."

While these people were discussing our strength, the battle on our side did not stop at all.

After the stone guard was thrown to the ground, he seemed to be completely stunned like a normal person, but I think he was more surprised than hurt. This guy's physical fitness is by no means so weak that he can't get up after being thrown over his shoulder. He should feel incredible because he was defeated by an opponent he thought was weak.

Although the stone guard was stunned, the other stone guard swung his spear and slashed at it without any pause. Before, I just wanted to test the power level of the stone statue guards to judge their strength. This time I will not grab the gun blade again. When I saw the huge spear sweeping over me, I jumped directly and landed on the blade of the gun. Then I ran along the body of the gun in three steps and two steps to reach the arm of the stone guard.

When the stone statue guard saw that I had actually climbed onto his hand, he immediately let go of his spear and reached out to shoot, but I jumped onto the hand that came from, and then jumped up on his arm. This guy's shoulders.

Feeling me landing on his shoulders, the guy hurriedly shook his shoulders to get me off, but who knew that I directly pulled out Eternity and jumped on top of his head, then fiercely pointed Eternity in the form of a hook, sickle and spear. The guy's head was pierced through the heart.

"Ah..." The stone statue guard was obviously not just a stone statue. In addition to having emotions, he also felt pain. The stone guard who had my gun inserted into his head immediately screamed and reached out to slap his head. But I had already drawn out my hook and sickle, stepped over to his forehead and jumped down. The guy's big hand slapped him in one step. Behind me.

Flying in the air, I suddenly turned around, stretched my hands forward at the same time, and shot out two dragon tendons with two puffs, hitting the guy's eyes. Although they were guardians of stone statues, the pain of that guy made them bend forward like humans, and I used his forward posture to pull the dragon's tendons and pass by him slowly. I got on his back, followed me in two steps and rushed to his vest, raised the hook and sickle gun, pointed it at his back, and plunged it in.

"Ouch..." This time the guy even changed the tone of his cry, and instead of straightening up immediately and throwing me off, he threw himself to the ground.

The so-called killing him while he was sick. Since this guy collapsed, I naturally couldn't relax. I quickly pulled out the spear inserted in his vest and rushed to his neck. I turned the hook sickle into a long-handled battle ax and pointed it fiercely at him. The guy's neck was split open. There was just a click sound, and the ever-changing long-handled battle ax easily broke the guy's neck, and then felt a slight lag when it hit his cervical spine, but it only cut in after a slight pause. Finally, my hand suddenly loosened, and the long-handled tomahawk went directly through the guy's neck, cutting off his head.

With a clanging sound, the guy's head rolled out, and finally stopped next to another stone statue guard. This guy was stunned just now, and it took him a moment to react and get up again to fight again. Who knew that before he could take action, his companion's head rolled to his feet first.

"You...?" The guy was so shocked when he saw his companion's head that he didn't know what to say. He was about to charge forward with a spear in anger.

When I saw his action, I didn't immediately launch a counterattack, but suddenly called a timeout. "Don't you know the special characteristics of your body?" I said, holding a metal card that was slightly larger than a playing card and about one centimeter thick in front of me and pretending to appreciate it.

The guy opposite originally planned to rush up and fight me desperately, but as soon as he saw the thing, he immediately braked and stopped there.

"How did you...?"

"Please, the energy wave is so obvious, do you think I'm blind?" As I said this, I threw the metal plate up and down, causing the head of the stone guard over there to keep jumping up and down. , as if he wanted to catch it but didn't dare to move.

Probably because he realized that I was playing tricks on him again, the guy suddenly stopped staring at the metal plate and yelled at me: "Be careful, if it breaks I will fight for my life."

"Don't worry, based on the texture of this metal plate and the hardness of the ground, as long as I don't throw it to a height of more than ten meters, there won't be any damage if it falls. But if I pinch it hard, the result will be It’s hard to say.”

"you dare."

"Why don't I dare? Is it because I'm afraid of you? It seems that your strength is similar to that of the guy I killed? I can kill him without any harm, and naturally I can kill you. What do you think you can threaten? To me? Of course, you can go back crying and call your parents, don’t worry, I won’t stop you.”

That guy probably had never seen me be so arrogant, so he was stunned for a moment. However, after looking at the severed head of his companion next to him, he decisively compromised.

The guy put away his weapon and said to me: "You have passed the test. Give me the metal plate and you can go in directly."

"That's pretty much it." I said as I flicked the metal sign out, then turned around and walked towards the door. When the statue guard saw the flying metal plate, he was so frightened that he rushed over and caught it. However, he did not dare to get angry at me. After all, he was not as skilled as others. He was the only one who really pissed me off. Own.

Although he didn't dare to provoke me anymore, that guy didn't forget to make things difficult for me. Originally, after the players completed the mission, they were responsible for pushing the door open to let people in. After all, the door seemed to be almost as big as the airport's hangar door. How could they open such a big door easily?

Of course I guessed that the guy was deliberately making things difficult, but I didn't care anyway, so I ignored him. With his evil smile on his face, I walked directly to the door. Then, after looking back at him, I stretched out my hand and pressed lightly on the door. The door was completely blown open as if someone had hit it hard. wide open. Amid the dumbfounded expression of the guy, I walked in with a smirk, and then the door automatically closed again behind me.

Inside that door was not Hephaestus's room, but another hall. The environment here looked much more beautiful than the hall outside. Not only were the ceiling and walls of the cave carefully decorated, but the ground was no longer ordinary polished rocks, but replaced with smooth marble.

The door I entered was a door at the end of the hall, and opposite the hall, which was a bit like a corridor, stood a magnificent high platform. The high platform is about five or six meters high, with steps on three sides, and is built like a pyramid. Located in the center of the high platform is a rather gorgeous fire diamond throne. Because the entire seat is carved from a single piece of fire diamond, it looks like a burning flame when viewed from a distance.

Behind this throne is a golden screen. Its shape should be like a burning flame, but it is relatively thin and not a three-dimensional figure.

The high platform was not placed against the wall at the other end of the hall, but some distance away from the wall. Although I couldn't see the situation behind because of the obstruction of the high platform, judging from the situation in this hall, there should be a door behind the high platform.

When I was thinking about whether to go over and take a look, a soldier wearing heavy plate armor suddenly appeared from behind the screen on the opposite side. This guy is about two meters tall. Although he can't compare with the stone statue guards outside, he can still be considered a super big man by normal people's standards.

After this guy came out, he was slightly startled when he saw me, and then he waved to me and asked me to come over and took the initiative to greet him. When we stopped in the middle of the hall, he looked past me at the door again, and then asked suspiciously: "Why are you alone?"

I was a little confused when he asked me, not quite sure what he meant. "Are you asking me why I didn't bring a companion?"

The soldier shook his head and said: "No, I'm asking you about the other two groups of people? Didn't you say that you have to do three things every day? There should be two people besides you. Could it be that you are the only one who has something to do today? Looking for an adult? Or do you have three things to deal with alone, so you drove everyone else away? "

"No. I just came in first, and the rest are still fighting outside. It is estimated that the winner will be determined in a while and the other two groups will be selected."

The soldier nodded and said, "Then just wait. I will take you in together when they come in."

I nodded in agreement, and then started chatting with the soldier word by word. Of course, I'm not just bored and looking for someone to chat with. Even if I'm really bored, I'll turn on my communicator and contact the God of War to find me something to do. There were a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in the meeting. Hongyue and Rose were busy all day long. It was so easy to find something to do.

I am chatting with this warrior here for two purposes. One is to inquire about Hephaestus's character and other things in a circumstantial way, so that I can find the right entry point and avoid mentioning it in a short while. To something that Hephaestus was taboo about. In addition to this first purpose, my second purpose is also very simple, which is to establish a good relationship with this guy. I hope that when I talk to Hephaestus later, he can help me with a little help, even if it is just to help me. Say a kind word or agree with my point of view, that is more useful than dozens of words myself to Hephaestus.

Generally speaking, the relationship between people is usually directly proportional to the number of conversations between them. Of course, this refers to most normal situations. If you encounter the type of person who is bound to offend someone by opening your mouth, then that situation It's about to turn completely upside down.

I'm certainly not the type who offends people when I open my mouth. On the contrary, my approachability is usually quite good. Especially in the game, it will be easier for me to get along with them.

The warrior in front of me is obviously a relatively normal NPC. Although he is a warrior, I am not my enemy. In addition, his personality is relatively honest and straightforward, so before we chatted for a while, he started talking nonsense to me as brothers. . Through the conversation between us, I quickly figured out the character traits of Hephaestus. What do you think of this guy's character? A bit naive and a bit stubborn, in short, he is the semi-stupid type. Call him smart, he is indeed smart, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come up with so many technical equipment. But if you want to say that he is stupid, he is indeed stupid. He does not know how to express his emotions at all, and basically he has almost no opinions except technical matters.

After knowing the detailed personality characteristics of Hephaestus, I became more confident in this poaching operation. However, compared to Hephaestus's personality, I discovered a more important piece of information. , and most people don’t expect to know this information at all.

"Is there such a thing?" I pretended to be surprised and looked at the warrior who just whispered some important gossip in my ear to satisfy his performance.

Sure enough, when he saw my expression, the guy immediately started to explain the cause and effect to me proudly. In fact, men also have the tendency to gossip. It is not a women's patent, but women usually have a little more free time than men. In addition, women like to get together, so many people think that only women gossip. In fact, men usually don't have the opportunity to gossip, but once they get the opportunity to gossip, they won't hesitate at all.

Although the soldier in front of him looks like a serious guy, he is actually quite good at gossiping. At that moment, I even thought that the soldier in front of me was a market lady using disguise.

After seeing my surprised look, the soldier immediately assured me excitedly: "This is definitely a fact. You are not from the Fire Land, so you don't know. I am here every day, how could I hide this kind of news? Me? Lord Hephaestus’s favorite woman is Miss Medea. As long as Miss Medea says it, Lord Hephaestus will never object.”

Seeing what he said, I pretended not to believe it and said, "That's not right. Even if we don't know the relationship between Hephaestus and Medea, don't the other Olympian gods know it too?"

As soon as the guy heard my suspicion, he immediately pointed at me even more proudly and said, "Can't you understand this? Don't you know the relationship between our adults and the Olympus Protoss? Ever since I was thrown from Mount Olympus, Since then, we adults have hardly had any contact with other gods of the Olympus Protoss. As for the relationship between the two parties, do you think they can know about it?" At this point, the guy suddenly came up mysteriously and deliberately manipulated After looking at it and confirming that there was no third person, he whispered: "Actually, even if the relationship between us adults and the Olympus Protoss had not become what it is now, it is absolutely impossible for the Olympus Protoss to know about this matter."

"Why?" In fact, I had already guessed the reason, but in order to satisfy the guy's eagerness to show off, I put on a "tell me quickly" expression and looked at him waiting for the answer.

Sure enough, when the soldier saw my expression, he said even more proudly: "This is actually an internal secret of the Olympus Protoss. I'm just telling you, don't talk nonsense, you know?"

Of course I nodded immediately and said: "It came out of your mouth, entered my ear, and I let it rot in my stomach."

The warrior nodded with satisfaction, and then began to say excitedly: "This matter has to start with Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty."

"Is it the one who was arrested some time ago and just ran back in the past two days?" I asked deliberately.

"Yes, that's her. This Aphrodite is the goddess in charge of love and beauty. How beautiful do you think she must be?"

I deliberately pretended to be unexpected and asked: "How do you think she can be beautiful? Anyway, I know she must be beautiful."

"Not very beautiful, but stunningly beautiful. Almost all men will be moved by her beauty. Even Zeus, the main god of the Olympus clan, could not resist Aphrodite's beauty and wanted to marry her. ."

"I am, isn't it?" I shouted in surprise, "Did I hear that Aphrodite is the daughter of Zeus? Zeus is going to marry Aphrodite? Isn't this a mess?"

"Hey, what's a daughter?" The warrior said with a very disdainful look: "As long as Zeus's old cunt is beautiful, there is no one he dares to have sex with? The goddesses and women he has touched so far have Among the goddesses were his sisters, his biological aunts, and his father's women. Oh, by the way, besides Aphrodite, there was actually one of his biological daughters who had already been acquired by him. I think it would have been had it not been for Hadi. He acted quickly enough. I estimate that the Goddess of Spring and the current Queen of the Underworld should have been taken over by Zeus. By the way, do you know the identity of the Goddess of Spring, right?"

I quickly nodded and said, "Persephone, right? I heard that she is also the daughter of Zeus, and it seems that her mother, the harvest goddess Demeter, is the second sister of Zeus. In this way, Persephone is both the daughter of Zeus and the daughter of Zeus." Is she his niece? This old pervert actually wants to attack the descendants and relatives of his daughter and niece. He is really an old pervert."

Having said this, the warrior immediately said quietly: "Actually, you don't know that Zeus has touched not only the goddesses who are related to him, but also humans, monsters, and some animals. He has touched them all. You I don’t know that many monsters in our Greece are actually descendants of Zeus.”

"Damn, forget it, he actually plays with humans and animals, I'm convinced." In fact, I have known these deeds of Zeus for a long time. After all, as a relatively unique existence in the God Realm, Zeus can also be regarded as one of the gods. What a wonderful flower. Anyway, I have never seen anyone in other protoss who can metamorphose like him. Generally speaking, it is an exaggeration for the Protoss to have three wives and four concubines or find a lover. Zeus is definitely a unique existence among the entire Protoss.

After listening to my sigh, the warrior continued: "So, it's not a big deal at all that he wants to marry Aphrodite. However, because Aphrodite herself is unwilling and resolutely resists, So in the end, Zeus had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​marrying her. However, Zeus was very narrow-minded. Even if he was rejected for marrying his own daughter, he actually held a grudge against her and used his power as the God King to force her to marry her. Aphrodite married our master Hephaestus. You also know that Lord Hephaestus's appearance is indeed a bit bad, which has always been regarded as a shame among the Olympus clan, so those Olympians That’s why the Pace Protoss doesn’t like adults so much. Zeus forced Aphrodite to marry adults just to torture Aphrodite and make her sad, so as to punish her for rejecting his request.”

"This bastard, I have never seen anyone be so bad."

"Indeed, that old bitch Zeus is the worst guy in the world." Because the relationship between Hephaestus and Zeus was extremely bad, Hephaestus's men didn't have any respect for Zeus. Otherwise, even the most gossipy guy would never be able to say anything bad about Zeus. After the guy nodded and admitted my point of view, he continued: "Although I hate him, Zeus is the God King after all. Neither Hephaestus nor Aphrodite can resist him, so they were eventually defeated. We were forced to get married. However, Lord Hephaestus still likes our Miss Medea, and Miss Medea also knows that she cannot directly oppose Zeus, so she thought of a way."

"any solution?"

"Just find Aphrodite, and then everyone gets together to talk things over. We, Lord Hephaestus, and Aphrodite maintain a nominal relationship as husband and wife, and Aphrodite can be completely free. Whatever you want to do, it doesn't matter even if you find another man, and we adults can be with Miss Medea forever, but neither party can destroy this nominal marriage, so we can't fight for our other. Half provide status.”

I nodded after hearing this and said: "No wonder Aphrodite has such a good relationship with you adults. Originally, I was thinking that according to Aphrodite's character, she would be married to someone I didn't like, and she was so tall. It’s so ugly... I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say anything bad about you adults.”

"It doesn't matter. Your Excellency never cares what others say about his appearance. Besides, what's inside is the most important thing. Appearance is just a layer of skin. With our strength, adults, if we really want to become beautiful, there are at least dozens of ways to look like him. He is as handsome as Apollo. No, he can become even more handsome than Apollo."

I nodded and said: "Don't talk about you adults, even I can think of at least three ways to become handsome. But now I understand why Aphrodite has such a good relationship with you adults. It turns out that it is not because they became a couple. , but because they are now alliance partners against Zeus.”

"Yes, so our adults and Aphrodite appear to have a very harmonious relationship with the outside world, just to make Zeus think that he has failed again."

"I don't think so. Judging from the current situation, Zeus has really failed. After all, he neither got Aphrodite nor harmed you adults, and both Aphrodite and you adults are living a happy life. of."

"Hehe, that's true."

The two of us were chatting happily, and suddenly the door I came in from before suddenly opened. Through the door, you can see a row of people standing outside, and behind them is a pile of corpses. The melee was clearly over, and it was clear that the team with the largest number was defeated.

There are still two teams left at the door, and including me, there are exactly three teams. The team of Mummy Mage obviously won the final victory, while the other team was the team with the smallest number of people. Of course, both teams were downsized, and the remaining people were mostly injured.

The team with the smallest number of people is still the team with the smallest number of people, because they only have one person left alive. This is a woman, wearing a light armor. Although the protective area is very low, it is sexy when she wears it like this. After all, there is naturally more vaginal discharge in the protective parts, and the position is more reasonable, so it naturally shows sexy. The effect has come. However, this woman is very curious, because when she first came in, I thought she was a girl in her twenties, because she has a good identity and is very beautiful. This kind of decoration is indeed charming. However, when she got closer, I looked carefully and realized that this woman was definitely not a girl. Although I couldn't see any specific flaws, I could conclude that she was definitely older than she looked.

Apart from this woman, the rest are naturally the Mummy Mage and his group. Compared to that woman, their group is pretty good. At least there are four people left, which is pretty good compared to that woman's group over there.

In addition to the Mummy Mage himself, the other three people in the Mummy Mage's group are the Hades Priest, a Hades Guard, and a Black Knight.

Although there were four people left, the rest of Mummy Mage and his group were badly injured. Except for the Hades Priest who had no injuries at all, the remaining three were almost covered in bruises, especially the Black Knight girl. If the Hades Priest hadn't been supporting her, she probably wouldn't even be able to stand.

"I x, why did it happen so miserably?"

I couldn't help but sigh aloud about the conditions of these two groups of people, but the soldier over there put away the expression that he had been talking to me about before, and began to ask seriously: "You are the last remaining ones." Two groups of people?"

The mummy mage looked at the female warrior over there, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking, he stood up and said, "Yes, there are only two groups of us left."

After hearing this, the soldier asked the stone statue guards outside: "Have they all passed the test?"

"Yes, they chose to answer the question and have passed the test." At this time, through the open door, I found that the stone statue I had smashed before had been resurrected. But I was not surprised at all by this, because I already knew before that the metal plate was the core of the stone statue, and the other parts were condensed with magic power. In other words, as long as this metal plate is placed on the pile of stones, the stone statue guards will naturally be re-formed.

After hearing the report from the stone statue guard, the battle here turned to the Mummy Mage, the others, and the female warrior and said, "In that case, come in with me." After saying that, he turned around and started walking to the seat without waiting for the other party's consent. Walking behind, I hurriedly followed, and Mummy Mage and the others immediately started running. Although they were seriously injured, they could just take some medicine after the battle, so a few people followed them quickly.

Bypassing the high platform with the throne we saw before, we directly entered a door behind the throne. This door is slightly smaller than the door outside, but it is still taller than a human being.

After passing through this door, there is a long corridor, but the corridor is horizontal and can be walked on both sides. But because the soldier was leading the way, we turned to the left and followed him.

This corridor is not very long. After walking less than fifty meters, it suddenly turns to the right, and then there is an arch. There is a red light curtain above this arch that is constantly flashing. It looks like rippling water. However, this light curtain does not seem to be very transparent, and it is almost impossible to see what is behind it. , I can only vaguely see that there is a relatively large space over there.

The soldier did not go directly through the door, but stopped outside the door, turned around, took out six red test tube-shaped medicine bottles from a stone platform beside the door, and gave them to us. Looking at our suspicious eyes, he explained directly: "This is an anti-fire potion. The temperature will rise very high after passing this door. Taking this will ensure that you are immune to fire for one hour."

"Nice thing." I said and stuffed the thing directly into Fenglong's space, then snapped my fingers, and Xiaofeng appeared beside me instantly, and then took one of my hands. A layer of red light film spread from Xiaofeng's hands to my body in an instant.

The soldier glanced at me, then just smiled and said nothing. This potion itself is not a great thing. Although it is quite useful, there is no need to pay too much attention to it. Besides, just because I had such a pleasant chat with him, he was too embarrassed to cause trouble for me.

Although the Mummy Mage and the female warrior also saw my actions, the warrior leading the way didn't say anything, so naturally they wouldn't speak either. As for putting things away like me, they also thought about it, but they just gave up after looking at the red light curtain.

After they drank the potion, the warrior led us through the light curtain and into the space behind.

Behind the light curtain is a rather huge cave. The area near the entrance of the light curtain is a large flat land with a lot of ore and unfinished metal embryos piled messily on it. In the front right of this flat land is a lava river, but it is not the entire river, but a small bend. The lava flowed out from under the rock wall opposite us, then turned a small bend in the cave and flowed out from under the cave wall on the right, so only a short section of the river that was not too long could be seen in the cave. .

Located on the left front of the flat ground where we are standing and side by side with the lava river, there is a huge flame furnace. Seven or eight furnaces of different sizes are filled with red light, and there is an extended bucket shape on the right side of the furnace. On the slide, dark red magma continuously flows out of the furnace, and then flows along the slide into the lava river below and is taken out of the cave together.

Obviously this huge furnace relies on the temperature of the lava to operate, so it obviously does not require any fuel. Of course, in order to control the furnace temperature, it is necessary to use some magic devices, but in any case, it is a good attribute without the need for fuel.

At this time, in addition to the soldier who brought us in, there were six people, or rather six humanoid creatures, standing in the cave. One of them was an ugly guy with a hunchback and a limp. He was obviously Hephaestus. After all, this guy's appearance was too easy to identify.

Except for Hephaestus, one of the remaining five is a warrior dressed like the warrior who led us. He should be Hephaestus's bodyguard or something like that. Besides this one, there are four other guys. One of them was a dwarf, holding a big hammer in his hand and beating a red-hot metal bar. There is also a guy who looks like a Balrog and is definitely over three meters tall. But at this time, this guy is squatting on the ground with a slightly larger hammer and is carefully hammering a very tiny piece of metal. Don't know what it is doing. The last two remaining creatures have no discernible race. They may be humans, or they may be other races closer to humans. The two of them were about two meters tall. Their whole bodies were covered in muscles, and they looked like barbarians. The other one is also over 1.8 meters tall, but is very thin. He has a pair of glasses on his fair face, and is holding a book in his hand. He is standing next to Hephaestus, flipping through it, and saying something. If it weren't for his Adam's apple, Obviously I almost thought it was a woman.

The soldier who brought us in asked us to wait here for a moment, and then ran to Hephaestus to inform him. Hephaestus looked up at us after hearing the announcement, and then said something to the gentle young man. After the latter turned to the barbarian, he limped towards us.

"Hello, the final winner." Hephaestus congratulated us as soon as we met, and then got straight to the point. "So now, you can tell me what you need me to do. I will give you the corresponding task. After completion, I will help you fulfill your request. Of course, the wish must be related to my ability. Other things I can't help."

I had been paying attention to Hephaestus when he was talking, and I could tell that this guy was really kind. According to the habits of the gods, they generally do not take mortals seriously. Even with my strength, there are still gods in heaven who look down on me. Although they can't actually beat me, it doesn't stop them from maintaining that inexplicable sense of superiority. However, Hephaestus obviously did not have such a habit. He was quite gentle when he spoke to us, without any sense of arrogance. Of course, this may be related to his experience. After all, Hephaestus was thrown off Mount Olympus when he was a child, and he never entered the range of Mount Olympus. This means that he has never been in contact with the divine world of Olympus, so his character It tends to be understandable to ordinary people.

After explaining the rules, Hephaestus glanced at us, and then asked: "Then who comes first?"

Anyway, everyone has a chance to make a request, so no one of us rushes to say it now. Instead, we look at each other politely. Anyway, it doesn't make any difference if we say it sooner or later. Finally seeing that they were silent, I simply said to the only female warrior left over there: "Ladies first."

The other party didn't refuse when he heard this. He nodded to me and then stood up and said, "Okay. I'll tell you my request first."

The woman's request was very simple. She just wanted to modify the equipment on her body. Of course, the modification must be very strong. Hephaestus responded immediately to this request, first telling her that her wish could be fulfilled, but she needed to obtain a few items. The woman also knew this rule, so she left happily after receiving the task. Anyway, it is said that Hephaestus's tasks are usually not too complicated, and Hephaestus rarely makes excessive demands, so there is basically no possibility of failure. Of course, it was precisely for this reason that the competition for the three places to be interviewed by Hephaestus turned out to be the one with the most deaths.

After the woman left, the mummy mage also made his request, which was to help him transform a set of mage equipment he had prepared into a set of equipment exclusive to his profession. Because they already had the basic materials, the difficulty of this task was not too high. Hephaestus just asked them to take out the equipment first, and after appraising it, he told them that they needed their help to complete the work, so their The task is to stay and strike iron. Of course, in addition to this requirement, they also have to provide some materials and money, but Mummy Mage and the others have obviously been prepared, and the materials have been prepared in advance.

After handing the equipment to the handsome man to design the modification plan, Hephaestus turned his attention to me, but the first thing he noticed was Xiaofeng. After all, as the God of Fire, Hephaestus could see The original body of Xiaofeng's phoenix.

"Tell me your reason for coming?" Hephaestus looked at me and asked: "The person who can carry the Black Phoenix is ​​definitely not an ordinary person, and the suit you are wearing should be the underworld clothes, right? The underworld clothes with such strong energy It can never be strengthened by killing a few people. You have definitely killed gods, and there are more than one. I am very curious, why do you come to me with such strength? You don't want to kill me to absorb gods in order to strengthen Ming Yi. Are you okay?"! .
