Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"You actually stole the Hammer of Argus from the giants? I have to say, you are still a bit lucky in wealth." Kolibuso was very surprised to hear that Xiang Nan got the Hammer of Argus.

"What is the use of the Hammer of Argus?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"The Hammer of Argus is the artifact of the giants. It can turn decay into magic, taking its essence and removing its dross. Ores of ordinary quality will become concentrates after being hit with it. A rotten sword will become sharp again after being hit with it."

Kolibuso explained, "It is the artifact that craftsmen dream of most. Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, wanted to collect all three giant hammers, but unfortunately he only collected two in the end."

"So that's the case. It seems that this is really an artifact." Xiang Nan was very surprised after hearing this.

He took so much ore from the Gill Country, but less than one-tenth of it has been processed so far. It is estimated that it will take at least one or two hundred years to wait for all the processing to be completed.

After all, the gill people have been digging for thousands of years, and the piles are really like a small mountain. There are only two smelting furnaces on Amazon Island, and the output is limited.

Now that he has this Hammer of Argos, he will not have to worry about not being able to smelt all the ores. And with such a magical hammer, he will be more handy and get twice the result with half the effort when making weapons or magic props in the future.

"If you are tired of playing, you can give me the Hammer of Argos, and I can help you exchange it with Hephaestus for an artifact." Colibuso said again, "An artifact made according to your wishes, which is completely suitable for you."

"I will consider it." Xiang Nan nodded.

A tailor-made artifact is indeed worth considering. After all, although he has collected many artifacts now, they are not completely suitable for him.

He wants an artifact to protect his soul, because no matter how serious his body is injured, it is possible to recover. But once the soul is injured, it will be troublesome. If such an artifact can be exchanged, it would be really great.

But then again, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. With the Hammer of Argus, he can make high-quality weapons and magic props by himself, which is better than a divine weapon.

So Xiang Nan has not made up his mind whether to change it or not. Even if he wants to change it, he has to refine the batch of ore on the Amazon Island first.

...

After successfully rescuing the mermaid from the sea giant, Xiang Nan also received more respect from the Mermaid Kingdom.

These respects are from the heart, not like the blue-tailed mermaid and the regent Tonga, which are completely forced by authority.

Therefore, Xiang Nan's status in the Mermaid Kingdom is second only to the sea god Poseidon and the sea goddess Colibuso, and he is the first person under the gods.

The mermaids are all fascinated by him and love him, and Xiang Nan has also won many hearts.

Later, Xiang Nan brought the Hammer of Argus to the Amazon Island.

With the help of the Hammer of Argus, smelting metals has indeed become much easier.

Previously, copper ores, gold ores, silver ores, zinc ores, tin ores, etc., needed to be smelted and forged many times to eliminate the impurities in them.

But now, with just a few knocks, those ores are automatically refined into copper ingots, gold ingots, silver ingots, etc. with extremely high purity. It can be said that it is extremely convenient and greatly speeds up the processing speed.

This surprised the Amazon Queen Alek.

"Where did you get this artifact? It's really amazing." She said with admiration.

"Secret, don't leak it out." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "Anyway, with it, it will be much easier to smelt ores in the future."

Alek nodded.

...

For a period of time afterwards, Xiang Nan continued his academic research and studied the treasures taken out of the Mayan Lost Temple.

In the Mayan Lost Temple, there are not only various gold and silver wares, but also many magical items.

For example, the statue of Ischal, the god of fertility, can not only bless the tribesmen to have a smooth pregnancy, but also bless them to have a smooth delivery.

For the ancients, fertility and reproduction were one of the most urgent needs. Whether they were poor or rich, whether they were ordinary people or high-ranking officials, they all hoped to have more children and more blessings.

Therefore, in ancient China, the gods in charge of fertility, such as Guanyin, Goddess of Childbirth, and Taishan Grandma, were particularly popular among the people.

The same is true in the East and the West. The Greek god of fertility Artemis, the Roman god of fertility Diana, the ancient Egyptian god of fertility Isis, and the ancient Indian god of fertility Parvati are also very popular gods among the people.

In the Mayan civilization, Ischal was their god of fertility. In addition, he was the wife of the god of heaven Istmuna, as well as the goddess of the moon and the goddess of textiles.

For example, the statue of the leopard god Haraz can turn into a black jaguar once the prayer on the statue is read. Not only does it have lightning speed, but it also has the ability to be invisible in the dark, and can kill any invading enemy without anyone noticing.

The Mayans believe in polytheism. In addition to the gods of heaven, rain, death, sun, and feathered serpent, they also believe in animism, just like voodoo.

The ferocious animals in nature are also worshipped by them. For example, coyotes, foxes, mountain eagles, crows, cougars, jaguars, grizzly bears, etc.

Among them, the leopard god Haraz has the most followers and is known as the patron saint of the Mayan Empire, representing speed, secrecy, and courage.

Another example is the shaman totem, which can summon the power of natural spirits, such as wind, fire, water, earth, lightning, etc.

The Mayans believed in polytheism, and the spirits of nature were also the main object of their faith. Shamans can communicate with the spirits of nature, perform divination and prediction, pray for disasters, call the wind and rain, cure diseases, etc.

Therefore, in the Mayan clan, the status of shamans is second only to the patriarch, and in the entire kingdom it is second only to the emperor, and is equivalent to the existence of the national teacher and the bishop.

This shaman totem is the relic of the Mayan high priest. Through it, you can summon the spirits of nature and use the power of the spirits of nature to summon strong winds, flames, torrents, earthquakes, thunderbolts, etc. It can be said to be quite powerful.

...

Of course, Xiang Nan is more concerned about the crystal skull.

According to Colibuso, it is a relic of the last era, which stores the knowledge of the last era.

In Xiang Nan's view, it should be something like a disk or hard disk.

So Xiang Nan really wants to know what kind of extraordinary knowledge is hidden in it.

So Xiang Nan decided to read it.

But before he officially read it, he first took out the sarcophagus containing the Aztec gold coins, then opened the lid and took out one of the gold coins.

Instantly, Xiang Nan felt a chill all over his body, and then he vaguely saw Quetzalcoatl again. However, after four years, the Quetzalcoatl seemed to have weakened its feeling.

"Save me..." And he clearly heard a faint voice in his ear.
