End of the Sky (Multiverse's End)

Russell reproduced the Sun God's battle suit, suspended it in mid-air, and studied it with Hephaestus.

To be honest, if it happens again, Russell does not have the confidence to succeed in forging, and wants to learn from professionals and try to see if he can gain something.

"It's perfect! Russell, how did you conceive it?"

"That's a long story..."

Russell didn't hide the situation at the time, and told Hephaestus all the insights he had gained by the way.

Just as he once promised Hephaestus, if someone stands in front of him and asks for the inheritance of knowledge, he will never hesitate to keep it private.

Of course, this is for Hephaestus, and it would be too much for someone else.

Hephaestus nodded again and again, and while communicating with Russell, he tried to activate the authority of the "Vulcan" to create his own battle suit.

The effect was mediocre, but for some unknown reason, he tried several times to no avail, so he couldn't help but cast a wronged look at Russell.

"Don't look at me like that, I've said everything I need to say...don't look, I'm about to throw up."

Being stared at by a two-meter-tall, bushy-haired man with big shiny eyes and pouting, Russell's scalp tingled with horror.

"Maybe this is the so-called luck!"

Hephaestus sighed, envious of Russell, and sad that he didn't have enough opportunities.

"luck……"

Russell flat-mouthed, did not comment on this, changed the subject and said: "We continue to teach and learn. There are still many things I don't understand about forging."

The more you learn, the more you don't know.

He received a master-level evaluation, purely due to his strong hands-on ability, and there are many gaps in theoretical knowledge, and he still needs a wave of charging.

Hephaestus is the god of forging, and Russell thought about having a large number of missions, and an experience point bonus for leveling up.

"Russell, don't make fun of me."

Hephaestus showed shame: "Looking at your forging skills, I know that your skills have reached the peak, and I can't teach you anything even if I want to."

That's your craft,

I don't.

Russell sighed inwardly, with a low-key expression on his face: "It's nothing, the previous time was luck, and it can't represent my true level. Besides, it's a pleasure communicating with you, and I still want to learn more."

"No problem, just take it as a thank you for telling me your insights."

Hephaestus stopped talking, took out the forging materials from the magma, and forged large and small objects one after another, either by doing it himself plus oral experience, or letting Russell practice it, and he pointed out the mistakes beside him.

There are almost no mistakes. Russell is already a master. He has a very keen intuition in forging. Although he doesn't understand the principle, he drops the hammer according to his feeling and never misses every critical step.

The two of them taught one by one and learned by the other, and another seven or eight days passed quickly.

Hephaestus deserves the title of God of Forging, not only because of his authority, but also because he is extremely talented and loves forging, and he has summed up countless skills through exploration.

Russell learns humbly, while squeezing Hephaestus dry, while absorbing the knowledge he imparted like SpongeBob SquarePants.

"Don't worry, I'll just attack you, I promise, I won't flirt with Aphrodite when I return to the mountain."

"You promised not to mention her again, and you also promised before."

"This time I'm serious!"

clang~~~

Hephaestus dropped the hammer, but he didn't grasp the strength properly, and smashed the shield embryo in front of him, and went back to the furnace with a speechless face to reshape.

...

Hephaestus has a lot of knowledge on forging, and it will take him many years to learn all of them. Even if Russell has a master-level evaluation, he only specializes in weapons and armor.

For the rest, such as metal ornaments, temples, and mountains, he lacked interest, and he simply learned some for appearance, so he didn't study further.

"Do you still want to learn pottery?"

"Yes, it's just squeezing mud."

"That's not called pinching mud..."

Hephaestus, with a long face, took Russell out of the forging room and went to another workshop of his own.

In addition to forging, he knows a little bit about carpentry, sculpture, pottery, etc., and the hollowed out workshops in the main hall in the mountain are the best proof.

"Let me tell you first, apart from forging, I only know a little about other art fields. If you learn from me, you won't be able to learn the essence."

Hephaestus said with emotion: "In comparison, Prometheus is proficient in everything. Athena's painting, sculpture, gardening, pottery, etc. are no worse than me."

"Then why did you make Pandora out of clay instead of Athena?"

"That's why you want to learn pottery?" Hephaestus suddenly realized.

"No, if I really want to come out as an individual, I have a lot of ways. It's just that I am fascinated by kneading and want to make some gadgets for viewing."

Russell is obsessed with his rivals, and there are still several empty walls in the house, so he wants to make some wives to enrich himself.

"Whatever you say, I'll teach you."

Hephaestus shook his head, Russell really wanted to pinch Pandora, but he didn't care.

Besides, in his opinion, Russell has a way to want a woman, there is no need to make a fake out of mud.

The two were talking, and when they came to the workshop where Hephaestus made pottery, they saw the door was open and there was constant movement inside.

"Oops, someone sneaked in!"

Hephaestus looked shocked, wondering which thief was so bold that he dared to break into his hall.

He rushed in quickly, focusing on a few targets in his mind, the most likely being Hermes, who came and went like the wind, and was proficient at picking doors and locks. It was not difficult to break into his hall with many traps.

Hephaestus didn't like Hermes for various reasons. The most important one was that Hermes had an affair with his wife.

"Hey, why are you?"

Hephaestus walked into the hall, looked at Ai's face covered in mud, and immediately uttered a voice of surprise, looking back to Russell for an answer.

Russell knew it was Ai'o when he turned on telepathy, and the reason why he didn't make a sound was because he was a little embarrassed.

The two elders studied blacksmithing, and threw a flower-like beauty in a corner, and left her alone for nearly twenty days, letting her fend for herself, even forgetting that such a person was there.

Rumor has it that Russell can't afford to lose this man.

Aio: (???)

Ai'e didn't speak, just looked at the two gay guys like this, full of grievances and didn't know who to confide in.

Since she was brought into the Vulcan Palace by Russell, she has become a transparent person. No one cares about her, but fortunately, the third-rate god is also a god. If she were an ordinary person, she would have died of eating dirt.

During this period, Ai'o also thought about leaving, but the stone gate of the main hall was so strong that she couldn't leave without Hephaestus' permission.

She wanted to go to the forging room to find someone, but she couldn't bear the high temperature when Vulcan and Sun God forged iron, so she stood at the door and shouted, but the two ignored her.

Feeling disappointed in my heart, thinking that I still don't have a piece of iron, I started to amuse myself and study the artworks in the hall.

After killing four or five days, she suddenly found a studio. Hephaestus has a great research on gardening. As the "Goddess of Gardening", she looked through the treasures on the bookshelf.

After that, she came to this pottery studio and started her self-study career according to Hephaestus' notes.

That's how the mud on his face came from.

"Ai'e, I didn't expect that you also like making mud. Why didn't you say it earlier. If you said it, I would have brought you here." Russell said, letting the embarrassment go away like the past.

"It's not kneading mud, it's pottery." Hephaestus reminded.

"Yes, it's pottery. It's all Ai'e's fault. She often said that before, and I couldn't change it."

"..."

Ai'e put down the clay in his hand listlessly, and Russell took two steps forward, grabbed the handicraft on the table, and said in admiration: "Yes, I can't see that you are quite ingenious, this bow is so beautifully made, but the strings are a little bit many."

"Russell, that's a harp." Hephaestus reminded.

"Of course I know it's a harp, don't talk if you're single, I'll make Ai'e happy!"

"Is that right?"

"That's right, every time I say that, the goddesses laugh like crazy, and then they laugh and fall into my arms."

"I see."

Hephaestus nodded and took it down silently, indicating that he had learned it.

Ai'o rolled her eyes, she didn't want to talk to Russell, and apologized to Hephaestus, hoping that he wouldn't blame her for breaking into the studio without permission.

Hephaestus didn't mind. Apart from Russell's face, he himself has a certain affection for people who like art.

"By the way, you didn't go into my storage room, did you?"

Suddenly, Hephaestus thought of something, and asked Ai'o cautiously and quietly.

"No."

Ai'o shook her head, the storage room was filled with all kinds of clay dolls, besides Athena, there were Athena, and Athena.

Not a single Aphrodite.

Athenas are densely piled up on the shelves, and they are all spotlessly wiped. Not only will she not talk nonsense about such things, but she will also pretend that she has not seen them.

"It's fine if you don't have one. Actually, it's nothing. I made small things when I was young. At that time, the craftsmanship was not good. They were all jokes, hahaha..."

Hephaestus explained a few sentences. Seeing that Russell was getting suspicious, he secretly said that he would lose his words, and coughed lightly: "It just so happens that you are all interested in pottery, so I will teach it together."

"Vulcan, can I do it too?" Ai'o was rather flattered.

"You can just call me Hephaestus. I still don't know what priesthood you are on the mountain?"

"The holy mountain I went with Russell is now the goddess of gardening."

"gardening!?"

Hephaestus was surprised, and his voice was a little louder.

"What's wrong, is there something wrong?"

"No, nothing, it's fine..."

Hephaestus looked at Russell with a complex expression, and said sourly: "It seems that Athena and you have a really good relationship. If I remember correctly, 'gardening' is her authority."

Ai'o looked at Russell in surprise when she heard the words. As far as she knew, Russell and Athena had a normal relationship.

"Hey, keep a low profile, Athena and I are not going to make public about this kind of thing."

Smelling the fragrance of lemons in the air, Russell smiled and waved his hands, temporarily suppressing his doubts.

...

The learning of pottery is not as troublesome as forging, at least for Russell, because he only learns kneading, and by the way, related painting and sculpture. After learning the theoretical knowledge, he starts the practical operation.

Without the blessing of cards, this process is extremely boring and long, but he is full of motivation and never complains.

In contrast, Ai'o is ingenious and has a positive attitude towards learning, and has been repeatedly used as a positive teaching material by Hephaestus.

The negative textbooks were unconscious, and after studying for three days, they returned to the forging room.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Bang————

A row of boxy iron boxes with a length, width, and height of more than one meter were neatly arranged. Russell looked solemn, and began the last forging of this trip.

"Russell, what do you want to forge?"

Hephaestus looked at the thirteen boxes in front of him, thoughtful.

"Twelve pieces of armor, I named them holy clothes, for the messenger of the sun god to spread light."

"Twelve! But there are thirteen boxes here?"

"That's right, because of the number twelve, there are thirteen holy clothes."

"Can you say that again, I didn't hear clearly."

Hephaestus looked confused, he couldn't solve this problem.

"Don't think about it if you can't figure it out. I'm going to forge this time at the same time, so I need your help."

Russell secretly thought that rare is more strange, and it is the same reason that there are five of the four heavenly kings. There are thirteen sets of holy clothes in the zodiac, which is very reasonable and logical.

Besides, is Ophiuchus just a decoration?
