Chapter Forty-Eight: Rescuing Hephaestus
Act-48
As the audience in the square grew, the minotaur seemed to get excited, and he excitedly waved the flaming greatsword, stirring up the whirring wind.
Every time he swung it, Jiang Tian's heart pounded, for fear that the flame star on his sword would fall on the dry firewood pile under the cross.
If the criterion for failure is whether the flame burns or not, then his test will definitely fail!
He didn't want to lose his qualifications to enter the undersea temple, so he didn't want to fail!
Jiang Tian, who was hiding in the crowd, moved, and he used his momentary steps to sway lightly among the believers, like a deadly ghost hidden in the shadows.
How to lure these two main targets away from Hephaestus's side is the most important problem that Jiang Tian needs to solve at present. However, this is not a difficult task for him.
After moving to the second floor of the building closest to the cross, Jiang Tian calculated the distance and transformed his left hand into the shape of a crossbow bolt launcher.
It's just that instead of a crossbow arrow, it's a fusiform tape recorder built with his left finger as the core physical strength as the shell!
Speaking of which, Jiang Tian was able to transform into so many things that didn't seem to be weapons, thanks to the Fantasy Engine.
Weapon fruit, as the name suggests, is the ability to turn the body into a weapon man.
But what is a weapon?
Jiang Tian's understanding was that guns, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, but the fantasy engine that absorbed the energy and knowledge of the two Devil Fruits did not understand it that way.
After it analyzes the Devil Fruit's energy and the knowledge it contains. The superpower brought by the discovery is more like a manifestation of the law of nature, a supernatural phenomenon that imparts concepts to the person who eats it.
Since it is a concept, then what is the concept of a weapon?
All weapons that can deal damage can be used as weapons!
As big as an atomic bomb and a hydrogen bomb Star Destroyer, as small as a piece of paper and a wire, as long as they can cause damage, they can all belong to weapons!
So, with the help of the Fantasy Engine, Jiang Tian can transform into half of an internal combustion engine, can transform into an exhaust tube bulb, and can even transform into something like a tape recorder.
However, the essence of a tape recorder is to create an ultra-simple primary machine that can play a small piece of sound repeatedly by combining a microcontroller and a simple buzzer.
Well, with the naming method of the urban book of heaven, maybe it can't be worthy of the god prefix of ultra-simple primary.
After the body transformation was completed, and the surface of the buzzer was covered with metal of sufficient strength, Jiang Tian pulled the trigger of the crossbow bolt launcher with his right hand for a long time.
The main reason for choosing the Crossbow Bolt Launcher was that it produced the least amount of noise, and its sound was almost negligible in the midst of the boiling voices that filled the square with cheering executions!
Jiang Tian believed that unless he was a person who had cultivated his domineering spirit to the top, he would definitely not be able to tell the location of the archer by relying solely on the beast intuition brought by the transformation of the Devil Fruit!
As for the sound that Jiang Tian burned in the single-chip microcomputer, it was quickly released in the direction that Jiang Tian was aiming at.
"Hephaestus, don't be afraid, my brother has come to save you!"
The brave man who shines in the story of both the captain and Hephaestus, that is, Hephaestus's brother Hercules, has always been a legend in the hearts of the people of Norve.
Even if he blasphemed the gods, even if he stole the map of the kingdom of gods, even if he has always been infamous in this country, the strength he showed was respected.
After Jiang Tian weighed the pros and cons, he burned the sound debugged by Fantasy Engine into the microcontroller, and connected it to the buzzer to achieve simple program control.
This is what he thought of to get everyone's attention as much as possible!
Sure enough, when the sound sounded, the cheering crowd became quiet.
Everyone looked in the direction where the sound was coming from, but no one dared to act rashly.
They all know that Hephaestus' brother is Hercules!
Hercules' reputation on Novin Island is fought one battle after another!
"Minotaur, I'll take a look, you are optimistic about Hephaestus, he throws a mouse bogey, and he doesn't dare to show up easily." In the quiet square, the Golden Retriever Lion Knight was the first to break the silence.
His golden eyes shrank suddenly when he heard the sound, and he looked solemnly in the direction of the corner, and after asking Tominotaunos, he set off cautiously.
The believers in the square also began to secretly retreat, and they still understood the truth of the immortals fighting and mortals suffering.
Now is not the time to watch God execute demons, for the sake of faith in their hearts, they must live to be able to carry out the glory of God.
Jiang Tian wanted this effect, although only one Templar of the Golden Zodiac left, it was enough. He may have some scruples about one-on-two, but one-on-one, rescuing Hephaestus is a piece of cake.
The left hand was once again transformed into a crossbow bolt launcher, only this time a thin, light rope was attached to the end of the loaded arrow.
Aiming at the opposite landing point, Jiang Tian's mind moved, and the arrow slashed a graceful line in the air with a long rope, and nailed it to the wall of the opposite building.
Taking off the rope that was still attached to his body and tying it to the load-bearing pillar of the floor where he was currently located, Jiang Tian jumped and landed on the rope.
Like a dexterous ape, he ran on a rope about the thickness of a data cable, clearly only taking a few steps, but he had already reached the height of the cross more than ten meters away.
Hephaestus, who had been struggling and weeping on the cross, was quieter when she heard the words "Don't be afraid, brother has come to save you", and became even quieter when she felt something fly over her head.
She prayed to God and Buddha countless times in her heart to want her brother to save her, and now, her brother is really here!
Hearing a movement overhead, Hephaestus struggled to lift her head to see her brother who had been haunting her heart for a long time.
Her mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, and she couldn't speak, and she couldn't call her brother's name. But how she wished God would allow her to turn her head over and see her brother's reassuring face.
Finally, she got her wish, but it was not her head that was done, but the person who came down from her head cut the ropes that bound her limbs.
And that person is not the brother she misses! But...... Jiang Tian met at night? The one who said big things that would restore her appearance to the way it was?
Although I don't know if the words of his appearance restoration are false, but he really came to save himself.
"Shh Jiang Tian motioned to Hephaestus not to speak, carried her behind him, and used his dexterous ape momentum to rush towards the roof of the opposite building in an instant.
But halfway through the run...... The rope is broken!
Jiang Tian, who was in mid-air, hurriedly turned his left hand into a rope gun, nailed it to the eaves of the roof, reduced the cushioning force like a swing, and gently fell back to the ground with Hephaestus on his back.
