Volume 20 Chapter 60 Joining

"Can this really be used as a weapon?"

"It should be true, but whether it will work or not will have to wait until I understand its principle. [ ]3∴35686688" I nodded and confirmed Hephaestus' words.

As soon as he heard that it really worked, Hephaestus immediately rushed forward excitedly, then grabbed my arm and asked, "How do I use this?"

"Hephaestus." A rather refreshing female voice suddenly appeared in front of the palace door in the distance, instantly stopping Hephaestus who was grabbing me and asking me questions.

Hephaestus immediately turned around when he heard the sound, and our eyes immediately moved to the source of the sound. It's obvious that this is a nvxing, and she is quite beautiful. However, it is different from the personalityless and extreme beauty of Victoria and others. It is a beauty that belongs to the world. There are flaws, but it feels more real. In short, this is a woman who you can find flaws in, but overall you still find her extremely beautiful.

The shortcomings or characteristics of this woman are also her most beautiful. What is different from Victoria or Ling's beauty is that she has an extremely wise face. You will feel that she is a smart and capable woman at a glance. If she were to make a movie, it would be perfect for her to play the role of a personal secretary to a national figure. You don't even need to put on makeup for her, just tie up her hair and add a pair of glasses, and that's the perfect secretary image. Of course, it would be even more perfect if she wears a girl-style suit.

"Medea, come here quickly, I will introduce you to my savior."

The beautiful lady over there came over immediately after hearing Hephaestus's words. After getting closer, she first said hello to us. Then he turned to Hephaestus suspiciously and asked: "Where is the benefactor you mentioned?"

"This is it," Hephaestus said, pointing at Victoria.

Medea was obviously a little unresponsive. After looking at Victoria up and down, she thanked him first and then asked Hephaestus: "Didn't you say that it was a beautiful aunt who saved you back then? This is... ?”

"Oh, Victoria's appearance has changed a little for some reasons. But even back then she was only twenty-one or twelve years old, but I was still a child at that time, so I naturally called her aunt."

Medea nodded to express her understanding and thanked Victoria again. Then he turned to me and asked: "So who is this?" Because there is no high temperature here, Xiaofeng has been collected by me.

Upon hearing Medea's question, Victoria said before Hephaestus could introduce him: "This is my master Ziri."

"Purple sun?" Medea's voice was obviously surprised, and her whole body's muscles tensed up in an instant. I even felt the demons around me tremble. It was obvious that Medea had heard my name and was quite wary of it. Sure enough, she immediately asked: "Are you Ziri, the president of the Frost Rose Alliance? Are hunluan and the God of Order your people?"

"What? Medea, do you know him?" Hephaestus' knowledge was obviously weaker than Medea's. Because he obviously doesn't know me. Although my reputation is not high enough that a person should know it, but after all, we just had a large-scale conflict with the Olympus Protoss, and we also abducted Hades and his family. . As a member of the Olympus Protoss, even if he is an excluded member, Hephaestus has no reason not to know my existence. So Hephaestus is a complete technical geek. Apart from blacksmithing and researching various equipment, he hardly cares about things other than his residence. But Medea is obviously not that kind of person. At least she knows I exist. But this is more reasonable. After all, the lava geodes cannot be completely closed. They always have to be in contact with the outside world, so since Hephaestus doesn't care, someone must deal with these things. If the information I learned from the warrior before was correct, then it would be logical for Medea to handle these matters. After all, except for Hephaestus, she has actually become the master here.

Upon hearing Hephaestus' inquiry, Medea immediately said: "It's not that I know him, but I've heard of him. You are probably the only one here who doesn't know who he is."

"Oh? Is that true?" Hephaestus asked suspiciously to a Shinv who followed Medea out of the palace: "Do you know who he is?"

Shinv immediately replied: "I didn't know originally. But if he is Ziri, the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, then I know a lot about him."

When Hephaestus heard this, he was immediately surprised and said: "So you really know?" He turned to me again and asked: "Why are you so famous? Even my shinv knows you. !”

"If you have the ability to abduct Seagod Seidon and his entire Poseidon Legion, others will remember you." Victoria's answer did not make Hephaestus understand, but made him even more confused. . In the end, Medea couldn't stand it anymore, so she forced him to explain the recent changes in the world to him. Then Hephaestus looked at me as if he suddenly understood, and kept sighing in surprise.

In fact, Hephaestus is not stupid, nor does he know that the sky is high and the earth is high. He's just too homely. Even if modern otakus and otakus do not go out, they can still use the Internet to communicate with the outside world. In terms of the amount of information alone, 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 a computer or an Internet connection, so his only source of information is Medea. As a trinity of companion, nanny, and secretary, Medea knew Hephaestus well. She knew Hephaestus didn't care about such things. If you don't need it, just go and tell him. He might not listen, so it would be better not to say anything than to annoy others. Therefore, Hephaestus still does not know that the Olympus Protoss has changed from a three-line protoss to a two-line protoss.

After Medea briefly introduced these things to Hephaestus, Hephaestus completely understood my identity, but a person like him is destined not to change based on other people's identities. After hearing my story, not only did he not show any awe, but he rushed towards me very enthusiastically, threw his arms around my neck and wanted to take me to drink and celebrate. As for what to celebrate. Do you even need to ask? To celebrate Zeus' bad luck, of course.

Naturally, I had no intention of rejecting Hephaestus's enthusiasm. Medea looked at my face first and saw that I didn't seem to have any reaction, so she didn't stop her and ordered Shinv to prepare wine and food.

When we sat down at the table and drank our first glass of wine, I began to reveal my purpose. Of course, my main target was Medea, not Hephaestus. I can already see that the gossip told by the soldier before is no problem. Hephaestus did obey Medea's words, and Hephaestus was completely unreliable. Apart from some technical expertise, he is actually not much better than a child in terms of life. In addition to researching equipment, Hephaestus is in charge of almost everything. Sometimes I even feel that Medea looks more like his mother than his wife.

There were only four people at the table, Victoria, me, Hephaestus and Medea, but Hephaestus was the only one who was actually drinking and chatting. Sometimes he would talk to me about how I abducted Hades and the others from the Olympus Protoss, and sometimes he would talk to Victoria about what happened back then.

Except for Hephaestus, the remaining three of us were not chatting. Victoria was solely a companion and was primarily responsible for keeping Hephaestus in check. To prevent him from talking too much, Medea and I couldn't talk, and I was talking to Medea about the transfer. Of course, during this period, I had to deal with Hephaestus's occasional inquiries.

"President Ziri, I sincerely confirm that we hope to become a member of Hunluan and the God of Order, but we also have to think about it for ourselves." Medea is indeed a great steward-level figure, better than Hehuaisi. Toss, that idiot in life, is much smarter.

"What is your consciousness...?"

"You should also know that Hephaestus's status in the Olympus Protoss is very marginalized. And the Olympus Protoss is not afraid of Hephaestus's strength. Hades can join you. The reason for fighting was because his situation would not get any worse. At that time, the Celestial God system was already crowding out their Hades system. And with the strength of Hades and the others, even if the defection plan failed, Zeus could not really He completely fell out with the Hades system, and at most he only verbally punished him, and then carried out a series of ostracism and frame-up. Anyway, Hades and the others were already being ostracized and framed at that time, so he didn't worry about Zeus ostracizing him any more."

When Medea said this, I took the initiative to stop her from continuing, and said directly: "I think I understand what you mean. Does Miss Medea mean that Hephaestus does not have enough strength to do it himself?" Guarantee, so if the rebellion is discovered, it will definitely be completely killed in the end. So you don’t want to take risks, do you?”

Medea didn't answer, but kept looking at me, but the meaning was already obvious.

After staring at her for a while, until even Hephaestus noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, I said: "Miss Medea, as a smart person, I think you should also understand. There will never be any change in the sky. Pies will fall down. Even if a pie falls, it must be the hunter's bait. Hephaestus's ability is very important, but it doesn't mean that our Frost Rose Alliance can't play without him. . With Hephaestus joining us, we will be even better. Without us, we will still be the strongest guild. But Medea, not all forces in this world are as far-sighted as us. Once this time The operation is successful. The Olympus Protoss will inevitably be torn into pieces, and then the order of the entire pantheon will be destroyed. With your identity and status, do you have the ability to preserve yourself under such hunluan?"

"But what if you fail?"

"Yes, we may fail. I don't deny that, but you have heard our plan. You can't deny that we have a greater chance of winning, right?"

Medea nodded and said: "Yes, according to this plan, your chance of winning is more than 80%. But even if your chance of winning is 99%, I will not gamble with Hephaestus's life."

"No, you have no choice, because when we decided to launch this plan, you fell into the gambling game. No matter you choose or not." My words made Medea visibly stunned, fearing that she would guess Without making any connection, I continued: "Follow us and do it together. You are putting your chips on us. If we win, you will be free from it. If you refuse, then you are not staying out of it." , but actually put the chips on Zeus. Because whether you agree or not, I will not make it difficult for you, but once the Olympus Protoss is crippled and loses self-control, then you will be the first to be unlucky. existence. So, if you don’t join us, you are choosing to join Zeus’s side. For you, the gamble has actually begun, and you have already placed your chips on Zeus, who has only a 20% chance of winning. But now you have This is an opportunity to go back on your word. If you seize it well, you may be able to move the chips that have been placed on Zeus, who has only a 20% chance of winning, to us, who have more than 80% chance of winning. I guess this bet is not difficult to choose, right? "

"It is indeed not difficult to choose." Medea suddenly pulled out an olive branch from her body and handed it over. “A pleasure to work with.”

"Happy cooperation." I took the olive branch with a smile and put it away carefully. This thing is the simplest contract in Greece. Handing it over represents a gesture of goodwill such as agreement to cooperate.

After we both 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 doesn't even care whether he belongs to the Olympus Protoss or the Hunluan and Order Protoss. Anyway, he is just a technical geek. As long as it doesn't affect his research, it will be fine no matter what.

Medea will naturally handle things like moving. And after Hephaestus agreed to join us. Naturally, we have to make some contributions. Of course, there is no need to think about expecting him to fight. This guy has little fighting ability, and he really doesn't like fighting, so there is no point in dragging him to the battlefield. Besides, for someone like him who is purely a scientific researcher, you can't expect Einstein to participate in the war like an ordinary soldier, right? Of course, just because he doesn't have to go to the front line doesn't mean he has nothing to do. In fact, he not only has something to do, but also a lot of it.

"Do you see anything?" Wearing an oath suit and switching to the silver moon form, I was standing in the room where the steel furnace was before, watching Hephaestus busy around the dragon soul suit on the table. With. It's really stupid to say that I didn't need to call Xiaofeng for help before, so I just switched to the silver moon form. You must know that Yin Yue's main attack is fire. Sometimes that sun god skill is not afraid of high temperatures at all. Besides, among Silver Moon's four high-level god rings, there is the Ring of Flame given by the God of Vulcan. With that thing, you are basically immune to fire. Not to mention the temperature, even if I climb into the furnace and take a bath with molten iron, I won't be immune to it. There's not the slightest problem.

Compared to me who is a little anxious, Hephaestus is extremely excited now because he is studying my Dragon Soul Suit.

The initial basis of the Dragon Soul set is the Demonic Dragon set. That thing was made by the Dragon Clan and had an obvious Dragon Clan technical style. It was of great research value to Hephaestus. In addition, the later Shenlong suit also incorporated Chinese national weapons and was transformed by Nv Wa's magical power. This is equivalent to bringing the power of a higher god. Of course, the most outstanding thing is eternity. This guy has now fully advanced into a regular weapon, and its power is self-evident.

Even Hephaestus has never seen this kind of top-quality equipment. There are indeed exquisite pieces of equipment among the equipment he built. For example, Aphrodite's set is very good. However, that is only good. Compared with the Dragon Soul suit, it is just a pile of dregs and can be directly remade.

Under my urging, Hephaestus finally put down the metal compass-like thing in his hand, and then said: "This thing is too complicated. The magic patterns on it are actually protected from prying eyes. Even my The rubbing tool failed!"

The rubbing device Hephaestus was talking about was the compass-like thing he just grabbed in his hand. This thing is a magical machine composed of several concentric rings inlaid together. Each ring can rotate independently, and it is also engraved with dense magic patterns. As long as the crystal in the center of this thing is attached to the surface of the magic pattern to be imprinted, and then the outer metal ring is turned to adjust to the appropriate reading intensity, all the magic patterns engraved on the surface of the object or even covered inside the object can be read out. , and displayed on the other side of the lens.

This device is actually equivalent to a tomography scanner, except that it is specially used to scan magic patterns. But even this kind of thing. When faced with the Dragon Soul Set, it was still like a tiger biting a tortoise, with no way to eat it. The surface of the Dragon Soul Suit is covered with a specialized magic barrier. This thing was originally designed to resist magic attacks and hide the wearer's magic power, but now it blocks the scanning of the rubbing tool. The result is that we scanned for a long time. Didn't read it either.

"Without this thing, wouldn't you be able to do anything?" I looked at Hephaestus angrily and asked.

Hephaestus may be easy-going in other ways, but in his profession he is very arrogant. As soon as he heard what I said, he immediately shouted: "How can I have nothing to do? Just wait. I will show you what I am capable of." Hephaestus said and ran to the shelf next to him. Then he took a lot of bottles and cans and piled them on the table, and then brought a bunch of equipment, and then started to prepare the medicine as if he was going to do an experiment.

After working for more than an hour, this guy finally took out a drop of green liquid that had just been condensed from the last instrument in the pile. Then he carefully inhaled the drop of liquid with a dropper, and then carefully Carefully move this thing to the surface of the Dragon Soul Suit.

Seeing his movements, I knew he was going to drip liquid onto the Dragon Soul Suit, but I saw how careful he was. It seems that the liquid is a bit 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 my plan to persuade him. After all, it is a dual combination of a divine weapon and a national weapon, so it should not be so easy to break the pair.

The facts finally proved my guess, but it was more powerful than I thought. The moment Hephaestus carefully dropped the drop of green liquid on the surface of the Dragon Soul Suit, it was like throwing an explosive into a fire, only to hear a loud bang. Along with a cloud of white smoke rose. The entire table flew apart in an instant, with the instruments and various metal parts flying everywhere, and Hephaestus himself was also thrown directly away. If his men hadn't quickly grabbed him with quick eyesight and quick hands, this guy would have almost flown into the lava river.

Hephaestus, who ran back, had a dark face, and his hair had become a Super Saiyan-like shape, with all the strands sticking up backwards and upwards. But this guy didn't care about these problems at all. He ran directly to the location of the table wreckage and found the Dragon Soul Suit that fell on the ground. Then he quickly found the rubbing device and placed it on the spot where the green liquid was dripping. Start reading the magic pattern.

Don't tell me yet. This time it did work, but after only holding on for five seconds, Hephaestus suddenly let out a surprised sigh.

"What's wrong?" I thought something was wrong, so I quickly leaned over and asked. Isn't this too exaggerated? "

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"What's wrong? This is completely wrong. The green liquid I just used is a highly demon-friendly material, which can cause the magic circuit to release energy and absorb the energy. At the same time, the green liquid will form a protective layer after receiving the energy. . Block the return of energy. In this way, the magic patterns on the surface of your armor will temporarily lose its shielding function due to the loss of energy. I just used this time to read a small piece of magic patterns."

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"It would be great if this was it, but just now, the magic pattern was reactivated!"

"Didn't you say that after the green liquid absorbs energy, it will block the return of magic energy, thereby temporarily invalidating the magic pattern? Then how does it restore magic power?"

"That's the problem!" Hephaestus said with a wry smile: "I've already checked it. I can't find the magic trace at all. I have no idea how it charges! And the speed is too fast. Point. Such a complex magic pattern should require a lot of energy to operate, but it actually only took five seconds to fully charge and restart!"

"No. It's already eight seconds including the time you were blown out."

"Even eight seconds is too fast. The fastest magic pattern system I have seen before is dozens of times slower than yours! Besides, it was originally a low magic circle, which is completely different from your high magic type. It’s the same thing!”

"Anyway, you just can't do anything with it?"

"No, there is no way I can do anything. It's just that the first two methods failed. I have other methods."

"Then you should try it quickly."

Hephaestus, who was originally arrogant in terms of technology, became afraid to talk back to me after two consecutive failures. He was severely hit by my Dragon Soul Suit. The third time, he moved a lot of things from his palace, and then assembled a huge drilling machine. He was waiting to see the result, but as soon as he pushed up the activation gate, he was shocked. He jumped up to us like a rabbit, and then he actually held a shield in front of him, and he hid behind the shield very insignificantly, only his head was exposed outside to observe the situation.

Originally, except for Hephaestus, his helpers in dongxue didn't pay much attention to him and just hid far away. Seeing him like this now, the helpers became nervous, and in the end they all just grabbed a shield and put it in front of them.

In fact, Hephaestus was quite capable, at least his estimates were very accurate. The machine did explode in the end, and its power was astonishing. These were similar to what Hephaestus had inferred. However, the only thing he missed was the power of the machine's explosion. He did know that it would explode, and he did know that it would be very powerful, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful. After the explosion, the entire room felt as if it had been hit by a nuclear weapon. The huge blast was like a sledgehammer and instantly knocked all the people holding shields away. Then it hit the wall behind them and everyone was trapped. Inside the wall, it finally stopped. If it weren't for the fact that most of the people present were considered to be gods, I would probably have to hang on to just a few.

Of course, compared to them, I am much more calm. When the explosion happened, I ran directly into the training space and walked out again after two seconds. But at this time, there were only metal fragments on the ground and a row of guys rolling on the ground under the wall covering their chests. They are.

The dragon soul suit was intact in the explosion. The giant machine has now been turned into tens of thousands of pieces and scattered throughout the dongxue. Of course, many fragments are embedded in the walls, and many things have fallen into the lava. In the river, I don’t know where it was washed away now. However, Hephaestus's efforts were at least not in vain, because just after I reappeared, I saw him rushing to the center of the explosion excitedly, and then picked up a golden piece of metal with uneven textures on the ground. disc.

"What is this?" I asked curiously.

Hephaestus smiled proudly and said: "Hey, this is a special metal I discovered accidentally. As long as powerful energy passes through a magic circle and then passes through this piece of metal, this metal can absorb the magic." The formation is copied to myself. But I only know that it has this characteristic, but I don't understand how it is implemented. But don't worry, now at least we have got the magic formation on your armor. "

"Note that the magic circle on the front of the armor is not here, as well as the back and other parts of the armor. I wonder how many of the devices you just blew up to pieces do you still have? Are they enough to explode?"

Hephaestus, who was still looking excited, immediately stepped down when he heard what I said, but as another voice appeared, his expression immediately became even stranger.
