Greece brings evildoers

The next day, Lorne, who was released from prison, drove a bronze chariot to Mount Etna where the craftsman god Hephaestus was located, under the watchful eye of a loving father.

Along the way, he did not take any detours or look back, and went straight into the familiar cave.

Since the [Phoenix] has taken up residence in his body, the entire volcano has gone dormant, and the once hot molten cave has become quite cool.

As usual, the two metal maids guarding the door led him into the forge to meet Hephaestus.

And when he saw Lorne's beard and tail appearing in front of him, the craftsman couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, his bloodshot eyes filled with deep resentment.

"You're finally back. Do you know that since you were imprisoned in Olympus Prison, my adoptive mother used the resonance spell to cry to me day and night, and I didn't have a full sleep for such a long time? ”

Hearing this, Lorne was dumbfounded by what happened to Hephaestus, and was also moved by Thetis's concern.

It can be seen that after being forced into marriage by Peleus, she has been completely disappointed with the sea gods and those so-called relatives, and regards him as almost a spiritual support.

"Hey, I'll give you two jars first to satisfy your craving. When we get married, you can drink as much as you want!"

Hephaestus caught the immortal food and wine thrown at him, paused for a moment, then reacted, and looked at Lorne in disbelief.

"Will the old man agree to marry Thetis to you?"

"Because I paid a price."

Lorne smiled and then stretched out his arm, activating the thunder mark on it.

Suddenly, the face of Hephaestus in front of the forging platform darkened, and the expectation he had for the father god disappeared in an instant.

Sure enough, he was still calculating to the core, and he never thought he was at fault in the whole incident.

In this case, don’t blame us for learning your traditions and being filial to you!

Hephaestus snorted, then stepped forward and patted Lorne on the shoulder, expressing deep relief.

"Don't worry, after a while, we may be able to help you remove the shackles of the divine seal."

"Well, I'll wait."

As the dog-headed strategist hidden behind the scenes, Lorne naturally understood the implication of the God of Craftsmanship. He nodded in agreement, stretched out his hands wearing chains and shackles, and reminded with a smile.

"But can you please untie these things on me first? It's quite heavy to wear them while traveling."

"Don't you have the key yourself?"

"We have to do all the tricks to put on a show. If His Majesty discovers our little tricks in private, won't we be implicated?"

"..."

Hephaestus rolled his eyes, fumbled around in the toolbox for a while, and threw out another key of the same style.

Lorne took the key and asked casually while opening the shackles.

"The last one? There's nothing else, right?"

"Don't worry. As you said, I have destroyed the molds for the shackles and keys. I will ensure that no one will use these to lock or coerce you."

Hephaestus answered weakly, unable to help but curse secretly in his heart.

Not only did this set of torture tools consume a lot of rare materials, but it also specifically incorporated the opponent's unique divine blood. Coupled with its own unique craftsmanship, even if there were molds, it would be impossible to reproduce them. I really don’t know why this kid is so cautious.

After hearing the God of Craftsman's guarantee, Lorne was completely relieved, put the untied shackles into the magic array, and then stretched out his right hand.

"what?"

Hephaestus moved the two jars of immortal delicacies and secret wine he had just received behind him, with a wary look on his face.

"Don't worry, no one will compete with you for this." Lorne, who was dumbfounded, waved his hands and explained helplessly, "As a courtesy, I want to give you a small gift."

Immediately, a golden lightning arc flashed in the open palm, and a stern and violent aura of majesty spread out.

"The divinity of Zeus?!"

The answer came out of his mouth, and Hephaestus's face changed slightly.

Lorne nodded, a playful smile on his face.

"That's right, His Majesty valued me very much and gave me this for self-defense. If you keep some as a sample, you should be able to forge a more suitable [sample] for him."

Hephaestus heard this and took a deep look at Lorne in front of him.

Obviously, this guy was also an insider in [that matter].

Immediately, without saying much, the God Craftsman turned around and took out a small crystal bottle from the tool box, absorbing a trace of Zeus's divinity as a follow-up material.

After confirming that Hephaestus accepted his [gift], Lorne nodded with satisfaction and looked forward to the drama that was about to take place next.

It is mentioned in the first volume of "The Iliad" that Hera, Poseidon, and Pallas Athena launched a rebellion and tied Zeus with special chains, suppressing the divine power of the god king...

The craftsmanship of the craftsman god Hephaestus, his son has personally tried it, and there is nothing to say.

Out of "filial piety" considerations, of course, I also have to tailor a set for my newly recognized "adopted father".

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, you can go back first. Don't keep them waiting." After a few words of greeting, Hephaestus waved his hand and issued the eviction order, and his voice gradually became meaningful, "Besides, Mount Etna has already If it goes out, I need to find a new forging place and prepare well."

As for what to prepare, it goes without saying.

Lorne nodded, stood up, said goodbye to Hephaestus, drove the bronze chariot parked outside the cave, and drove all the way to Athens.

When the chariot drove out of the range of Mount Etna, he picked up the key that Hephaestus had asked him to keep privately, and the light flickered on his fingertips, instantly disintegrating it into invisible.

Done!

Playing with the only remaining key in his hand, Loen snapped his fingers with satisfaction.

Although he believed in the character of the craftsman god, there was no guarantee that he would not be deceived or let the key flow out because of a mistake.

At that time, this "surprise" prepared for his master would have an additional hidden danger.

For safety reasons, it is better to keep only the key in my hand.

Then, I should also make some preparations and "honor" another elder.

Loen smiled playfully, pulled the reins in his hand, lowered the height of the chariot, and concealed his whereabouts under the cover of the forest, heading towards his home field, Ares Mountain.

However, he did not go far before he almost collided with another carriage that was speeding towards him.

"Apollo?"

Lorne, who braked suddenly to stop the car, looked at the handsome blond driver on the opposite chariot and was slightly stunned. Then he turned his eyes to the back seat, and his surprise became even stronger.

"Aphrodite? Why are you here too?"

Yes, the one sitting in the back of the car was the long-missing god of love.

Apollo answered before Aphrodite could speak.

"Didn't I go to Sicily? I happened to see Aphrodite being held hostage by the Cyclops on the island, so I rescued her."

Under Apollo's dim gaze, the god of love on the carriage nodded resentfully, but there was a touch of depression and helplessness in his eyes when he looked at Lorne.

As a former accomplice of the god of love, Lorne certainly knew why Aphrodite ran to Sicily - to live in seclusion with her lover Adonis.

Similarly, as an accomplice of the other party, he also knew the purpose of Apollo's trip to Sicily - to steal [Thunderbolt], kill the three Cyclops, and scout the place in advance.

Combined with the evasive attitude of the two parties in front of him, Loen basically guessed what happened.

During the scouting process, Apollo ran into Aphrodite who was living in seclusion with his lover Adonis in Sicily, so he used this as a threat to pull the goddess of love into the group.

After all, Aphrodite was giving up her good life, and it was obvious why she went up the mountain at this time.

Combined with the current situation that Adonis was not with Aphrodite, Loen estimated that the pretty boy was probably held hostage by Apollo.

OK, brother-in-law, you are making great progress.

Loen took a meaningful look at the once righteous and awe-inspiring god of light, who was now completely black, and shook his head in a playful manner.

In the original rebellion, only Hera, Poseidon, and Pallas Athena were on the list. Apollo accidentally discovered the conspiracy of the three and was forced to join.

As a result, the situation changed. This time Apollo became the leader of the rebellion, and in turn earned the unfortunate goddess of love to Olympus and forced her to join.

People, after all, become what they hate the most.

And now, it seems that all the twelve main gods have gathered together, and they have directly or indirectly mixed in this rebellion, which is really worth the price.

After sighing for a while, Loen saw through it but didn't say it. After a few words with the two main gods, he drove the bronze chariot to the Ares Mountain.
