"Hephaestus, here's the ore you need, Protosto, I brought it. With a wave of her hand, Thetis was already filled with ore in the open space outside the workshop.

Proteus is also an ancient sea god, his origin is unknown, it seems that shortly after the birth of the ancient sea god Pontus, he also appeared on an endless sea. Like Pontus's children, his kingdom was the target of Poseidon's conquest, and he simply took refuge in Pontos.

In the past few years, Artemis and Hephaestus, the children of Zeus, have contributed a lot to the great war on the ocean. Artemis fought in the battlefields of the sea, and Hephaestus crafted all kinds of weapons for the sea gods in this small blacksmith's workshop. Unlike Artemis, Hephaestus had no position, he took business on both sides, and whoever gave him materials and remuneration would help build weapons.

"How can you send it over in person, just talk to me, I'll go over and pick it up. "He rarely goes out, and the only reason he goes out is to look for materials for iron. And the abode of Thetis and Eurynomus is the bulk of his materials, and every time he gets their invitation, he is very happy, which means that there is a considerable gain.

"You kid, you're polite, I'm about to go to Olympus for a banquet, so I stopped by and brought something with me. After hesitating for a while, Thetis finally did not say that the banquet she was about to attend was to celebrate the birth of her half-brother.

Hephaestus' eyes lit up when he heard this: "It just so happens that I have nothing to do during this time, and I have invented a small ornament that you can just wear to a banquet." ”

······

At the feast on Mount Olympus, many goddesses laughed, drank wine made from grapes, and watched the beautiful muses dance. However, the central topic of the banquet was no longer the noble and beautiful god Hera, who had just given birth to a child, but the belated goddess of the sea, Thetis, or the beautiful and delicate, dazzling brooch on her chest.

It was Hera, the queen of heaven, whose eyes were also attracted by this unique brooch at this time, and she was extremely envious of this wise man on the sea. And our god-king Zeus, looking at this goddess who has not been chased, can't help but flash a fiery light in his eyes, and the flame in his heart is surging again.

"Goddess of the sea, can you tell me where this brooch came from? It is so beautiful that it makes me want to have one of the same. Towards the end of the feast, in a remote corner of the main hall, Hera finally couldn't resist her curiosity and asked Thetis her question.

Hearing Hera's question, the corners of Thetis's mouth curled slightly, and the opportunity finally came.

"Your Majesty, the maker of this brooch, is an unfortunate blacksmith. He had very noble parents, and when he was just born, he was thrown from a high mountain because of his ugly appearance and his mother's displeasure. Later, the beautiful Eurynoma, the kind-hearted daughter of the ocean, rescued him and raised him with me. Ten years have passed, and he has become a powerful deity, gaining unparalleled forging abilities. ”

Thetis's words, like needles, pierced Hera's chest, causing her ears to turn red and her pretty face to turn white, ashamed and regretful.

Then his mother must have regretted it very much. I am sure that if she knew the whereabouts of this child, she would have taken him back and done her best to get him everything he deserved, and let him get an extraordinary status and glory. "At this time, how could Hera not know that the maker of this brooch was the eldest son who he had ruthlessly abandoned?

"Goddess from the sea, you and Eurynomus will be my benefactors, lifelong friends, tell me where this unfortunate child is. On this majestic Mount Olympus, I will prepare for him the best blacksmith shop in the world. Hera's expression returned to normal and asked in a low voice.

Thetis looked at Hera's appearance, and said secretly in her heart: "Sure enough, our Majesty the Queen of God has a strong heart and never gives in, even if you are ashamed and regretful, you will not be seen." ”

"In the southern part of the Endless Sea, there is a small island called Hephaestus, where he works in a small blacksmith shop. His name is the name of this island. ”

After hearing this, Hera nodded, and then looked at Thetis with an inexplicable expression, and her eyes seemed to see through people's hearts: "Goddess Thetis, you came uninvited, and brought news of my son, if there is anything you need my help with, just say it." ”

"Yes, for your sake, I will grant you a request for the sake of bringing news of me and Hera's eldest son. Zeus, the god-king, came over, first gave Hera a deep look, and then made a solemn promise to Thetis.

Hera lowered her head and stopped talking, and Thetis said it in this temple, and she did not argue, and she did not continue to hide it from Zeus, and now she can't hide it.

Theses, who has always been holding the pearl of wisdom and calm, couldn't help but get excited after listening to Zeus's words, isn't this what she came to Mount Olympus for?

"Your Majesty the God King, the sea today is full of wars, which not only make it impossible for your people in the sea to live in peace, but also many immortal gods have also fallen because of this. My grandfather, the ancient god of the sea, Pontus, asked me to come to you in the hope that you would act as an intermediary, and that he would make a truce with His Majesty Poseidon, the king of the sea, and that the two sides would negotiate a rule over the sea. As a token of our gratitude to you, after the truce, our gods will be completely withdrawn from the continent, and all the priesthoods they hold will be given to Olympus. ”

Her request surprised Zeus. The war on the sea, he has been watching from afar on Mount Olympus, as far as the current situation is concerned, the ancient sea god Pontos and his family still have an advantage, how to propose a truce at this time. Besides, even if there is a truce, the spoils of war should be given to Poseidon, how can such a large benefit be given to him?

In fact, before Pontus sent Thetis to cede their clergy on the continent to Poseidon in exchange for a truce. However, when Thetis came, she decided to give this gift to Zeus. In his opinion, Poseidon dared to fight with their group because he was the sea king who was personally approved by the god king, so he could gather help everywhere, and the battle situation was unfavorable and even Zeus might help him. And once Zeus agreed to their truce, Poseidon lost this title, and there was no help except the ocean, even if they continued to fight, they had nothing to fear.

"Goddess Thetis, I have accepted your gift, Poseidon, Olympus will give you an explanation. ”

After all, Zeus still couldn't refuse such a big benefit, gritted his teeth and accepted Pontus's gift, but in his heart he was thinking about how to appease Poseidon. He knew very well that his two brothers, no matter who they were, had always been unconvinced of their god-king position, especially Poseidon, who would definitely make trouble at the first opportunity.

······

Hephaestus was extremely satisfied at this time, not because he had a pair of parents who were lukewarm to him, but because on this Mount Olympus, he had more materials for his forging designs. Even, now, he doesn't have to do anything else except forging designs, including worrying about his own living and eating, everything is done by the gods of Olympus.

Most of the priests were humans, extinct golden humans, who were kind-hearted, benevolent, and loving, and were more beloved by Zeus than the selfish and presumptuous silver humans. Zeus, the god-king, gathered the remnants of the golden humans in Hades and brought them to Mount Olympus to serve the gods and share in their glory.

There are also some gods, who are also born gods, but they are subtle and weak. They don't have the combat power to fight monsters, they can't collude with the laws of heaven and earth, they are not qualified for godhood, and no gods are willing to make them their own gods. And they went to find the kingdom of the mighty gods, to serve them, and to be blessed by them.

Like Adros, a god who can only rule the starlight, is destined to seek the protection of other gods to protect his immortal life.

"Your Highness Hephaestus, Your Majesty the God King, please hurry over. "It was not the Divine Servants who came to deliver the message, but the Rainbow Goddess Aerys, the messenger of the God King.

Seeing that it was Aerys who came to deliver the message in person, Zeus would not have sent her to deliver the message unless it was an urgent matter. Hephaestus did not dare to slack off, and hurried to the temple of Zeus.

Before he could get close to the main hall, Hephaestus heard Zeus's painful wail, which was very terrible. Zeus suffered from a head disease, which Hephaestus knew when he first arrived. And as time went on, the pain of his head became more and more intense, and the sound of the pain became louder and louder.

"Come, Hephaestus, with your axe, split my skull, and show me what makes me so painful. ”

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Zeus's command, which startled Hephaestus and split his head, which was not a good idea, and Zeus was confused?

"Do you think that I will be chopped to death by a lame man's axe like mortals and those weak gods?" Seeing that Hephaestus did not move for a long time, Zeus couldn't help but lean on the throne and curse.

Hephaestus was not shy about his looks, but he hated being called lame. He came up to Zeus, took out his axe, took a light breath, and pointed it at Zeus's head.

When the axe went down, there was a crisp sound, and Zeus's head opened in response, and it was pitch black inside, and then a golden light appeared. However, at the same time as the skull cracked, a golden light shone in the sky, illuminating the entire sky, and on the earth, the breeze blew, and all living beings began to cheer and rejoice.
