Chapter 153, Medusa's Sacred Clothes
In the kingdom of Aesop, Ladon waited for the god of fire and craftsmen - Hephaestus, who was rumored to have been thrown to the mortal world by his mother Hera because of his ugly appearance when he was a child, and broke his leg, so he grew up to be a cripple, and his leg was injured when he was a child, so even the gods could not reverse it.
In fact, from the perspective of mortals, Hephaestus is at most mediocre in appearance, with a big beard, and in general he is by no means ugly, but maybe under the contrast of countless male gods, he doesn't look so good-looking, after all, beauty and ugliness are contrasting things themselves.
"I think you're the one I'm looking for." Hephaestus found Ladon, but he also heard that the people of the Aso Kingdom called Radon Perseus, he couldn't help but feel strange, and after seeing Ladon's appearance, he was even more shocked, "You are really Perseus!?" ”
He thought it was the same name, but he didn't expect that it was really the Perseus of the son of Zeus.
Although Hephaestus was also the son of Zeus, he had too many brothers and sisters, and they all rejected him, so even though it was the first time he actually met Perseus, he also had some dislike in his heart, and he didn't believe that Perseus could draw that kind of elaborate armor design.
Radon clearly felt Hephaestus's rejection, and was indeed an honest man, no wonder he was not welcomed in Olympus, so he explained: "For some reason, I had to act in this capacity for the time being, but when Athena rises, I will be able to regain my original identity." ”
This is also a disguised way to tell Hephaestus that his real body is not Perseus, and it also eliminates a trace of rejection in Hephaestus's heart.
Hephaestus knew that the Perseus in front of him was not the real Perseus, so he didn't care about Ladon's real body at the moment, took out the stack of blueprints and talked with Ladon, the two talked for a day and a night, and Ladon finally told Hephaestus all the details of the armor clearly, and the latter was also very patient to absorb this new knowledge, and then he couldn't wait to try his hand.
"I need a volcano."
"It's in the south of this kingdom, but it's an extinct volcano that can't erupt. ”
"It's okay, I just need the heat from the ground in it." Hephaestus packed up his materials and tools, went to an extinct volcano in the south of the kingdom of Iso, dug a large hole in the ground, and then as the god of fire, he channeled the heat hidden in the ground, used this heat to completely melt the materials he brought, and cast, and a month later, finally created the first set of armor.
Hephaestus excitedly called Radon over to admire it, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Laton caressed the armor created by Hephaestus, which was not inferior to the armor he made with Dragon Superalloy and Dragon Spirit Superalloy, you must know that this is another casting method of armor in another mythical world, and it is the first time to build it, and it can actually be compared to his mature technology, which should be said to be worthy of "god".
In fact, the gods of this world are actually Titans in essence, and the reason why they are gods is because they have powers that mortals do not have.
"Does it have a name?"
"You designed it, and you should name it."
"Holy Clothes, I want to name it 'Holy Clothes'."
"A fitting name, this sacred garment has the ability to absorb the energy contained in the atmosphere, the earth, the sea, and the sun, bringing infinite power while giving the wearer an impregnable defense." Hephaestus looked at the holy garment, and was also very satisfied, although it was not the best item he had made, but it was the most subtle, after all, it was an armor that could be used by mortals, allowing mortals to have armor comparable to the power of gods.
"Hephaestus, one holy garment is not enough, we need more." Ladong said, although the holy clothes are good, but one piece is just the icing on the cake, what he hopes is to let the entire Saint Seiya army wear the holy clothes.
“…… Well, in return for giving me this blueprint, give me a number and I'll get it done as soon as I can. Hephaestus was now vague about both Zeus and Athena, but that didn't stop him from repaying Ladon.
Ladong thought about it for a moment and said, "Three hundred and sixty-five." ”
"You're greedy." Hephaestus complained, but did not refuse, and went back to make the next garment, and at Ladon's suggestion, the second garment was designed as a woman's and had an additional black eyepiece.
Thanks to his experience in making the first garment, Hephaestus was able to create the second garment in just three days, and the new garment was designed for women, without losing the femininity of the whole and the strength of the weapon.
"Medusa, this holy garment will be given to you." In a secret room in the palace, Radon released Medusa from her leather bag and gave her the second garment.
"......" Medusa silently put on the holy clothes, the originally somewhat loose holy clothes became extremely close to the body after wearing them, without affecting her own flexibility, after all, this is made by the god of craftsmen, if it can't change with the wearer's body shape, and hinder the wearer's movements, Hephaestus is embarrassed to say that this is something he created.
"Put this on and try to open your eyes." Radon pulls out the last accessory, the black eyepiece.
Medusa hesitated for a moment, but finally removed the blindfold and put on the black eyepieces, she tried to open her eyes and look out the window at the world, she saw the birds, the birds were not petrified, they were still flying freely, although all this was clouded by a dark shadow, but it was indeed the picture she had dreamed of for years.
Since becoming a demon girl, all the life she sees will become a static stone, once or twice is acceptable, but it has been like this for decades, if it weren't for the two sisters who often comforted her, she was afraid that she would have become a monster who chooses people to devour.
"Thank you." Medusa whispered, and two lines of tears immediately slipped down her snow-white cheeks.
Ladong shook his head casually, signaled that he didn't need to thank him, and said: "In the future, you can move freely, you don't have to be bound in this leather bag, you will be my guard from now on, understand?" ”
"Understood." In this regard, Medusa is not rejected, anyway, she has been following Ladong in her leather bag for a long time, and it doesn't matter if she continues to keep it.
Radon nodded in satisfaction, then took Medusa to the school field and said to the Saint Seiya who were training, "Warriors, do you see this lady next to me?" If any of you can overcome her, you will receive a mysterious gift. ”
