Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

Chapter 421 Hephaestus

Pain.

It was as if something was constantly stretching his brain, and the indescribable pain was circling in his brain.

Shirou Emiya covered his head and opened his eyes with difficulty.

It seemed that he had messed up again.

He shouldn't be so immersed in forging.

Shirou Emiya condemned himself in his heart. If he met some people with malicious intentions, then he would be a lamb to be slaughtered without any defense.

Shirou Emiya pinched his nose bridge to cheer himself up.

I don't know how long it has been, but the swelling and cracking feeling in his head now makes Shirou Emiya feel uncomfortable.

"Squeak——!"

At the moment when Shirou Emiya woke up, the door was pushed open. It was a beautiful man with red hair, an eye patch on his right eye, a white top, black trousers, and black over-the-knee high-heeled boots.

With a little surprise in her eyes, she looked at Shirou Emiya who had just sat up from the bed.

"Thank you——"

Shirou Emiya also thanked the moment he saw the beautiful woman in men's clothing appear.

He was able to appear here safely, which was naturally the result of the help of others.

"Do you feel any abnormality in your body and mind?"

She walked slowly to Shirou Emiya, pinched her chin with her hand, and fell into deep thought as she looked at Shirou Emiya who seemed to have no problems.

"It's just a little headache, there's nothing else."

Shirou Emiya shook his head in response to the beautiful woman in men's clothing, and then immediately thought of something, his face changed slightly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to watch your forging process, if there's anything I can do————"

Shirou Emiya apologized to the beautiful woman in men's clothing in a very sincere tone, regardless of whether she minded or not, but peeping at others like this is not a good thing in itself.

What's more, Shirou Emiya also learned her forging skills. Perhaps this was her ancestral forging skill, which she relied on for her livelihood and could not be passed on to others.

In any case, Shirou Emiya's behavior was a bad one.

He could have left here without the beauty in men's clothing noticing, but he chose to steal the forging skills of others. Shirou Emiya deeply condemned himself.

"No, this is nothing, but do you really have no other feelings besides a headache?"

She has lived in this world for more than 100 million years. Although there is no genius in her family who can understand her forging skills, it does not mean that there is no genius who can understand her forging skills in the past 100 million years.

Otherwise, she would not know what consequences would result from understanding the forging skills of the gods in this way.

Because the geniuses she met suffered irreversible brain damage after seeing her forging skills.

Among those people, either they were mentally ill or they had completely forgotten the forging skills and could no longer learn.

Anyway, after that, she rarely displayed her forging skills in front of ordinary people.

However, besides headache, Shirou Emiya seemed to have no other sequelae, which surprised her a little.

Shirou Emiya nodded affirmatively.

After so many things, Shirou Emiya was very clear about his physical condition.

There were only three main injuries on his body now.

The first was the irreversible damage to Shirou Emiya's soul that could not be repaired even with the help of the Holy Grail.

Until now, when Shirou Emiya used projection magic, he would feel severe pain all over his body, but he had long been accustomed to this pain.

Even when he opened the Infinite Sword System, Shirou Emiya could act like nothing happened.

The second was the vitality that Avalon could not replenish due to continuous over-exploitation.

The intricate white hair on his head was a manifestation of his weakened vitality.

The third was the opening of the stripes. Shirou Emiya had been overdrawing his future.

This is also one of the reasons why Shirou Emiya was able to grow to such strength in just a few months.

Of course, even when he was extremely clear about his body, Shirou Emiya did not retreat in the face of danger.

"It's really strange!"

Seeing Shirou Emiya answer like this, she did not ask too much. If he was really fine, it would definitely be a good thing.

She was just afraid that Shirou Emiya had some sequelae that she didn't know about.

"My name is Hephaestus, the goddess of forging--"

Seeing that Shirou Emiya seemed to have no big problems, Hephaestus began to introduce herself.

From his eyes, Hephaestus understood that Shirou Emiya did not know her.

After all, in this world, the number of gods is relatively rare compared to humans, but the overall number is still so much.

It is impossible for everyone to remember all the gods, not to mention that there are many gods who rarely show their faces.

If you don't report your name, many people may not know it.

For example, a certain virgin goddess who has been eating and drinking here.

"My name is Shirou Emiya—"

Shirou Emiya also got off the bed and responded to Hephaestus politely.

"Hephaestus? Isn't that the god of forging in Greek mythology?"

Shirou Emiya had a big question in his heart.

In reality, Shirou Emiya was not familiar with Greek mythology.

But the reason why he knew that Hephaestus was the god of forging in Greek mythology when he heard about it was because he still had an empty shell called [The Small World Surrounding the Sky] in his hand.

And the forger of this shield was Hephaestus.

Shirou Emiya naturally thought of the meaning of this name at the first time.

But, the goddess of forging?

Isn't Hephaestus a man?

Although he had such doubts, Shirou Emiya did not show them.

After all, when he was in Tokyo Butei High School, Sherlock Holmes and Arsene Lupin were real people, Jeanne d'Arc was already thirty years old, and Vlad, a vampire, turned into a werewolf after transformation.

Shirou Emiya was used to the fact that other worlds were somewhat different from his own world.

Moreover, in that parallel world, Mordred also stated that King Arthur was a woman.

Since Arthur could be a woman, it was not surprising that Hephaestus, the god of forging, was also a woman.

However, if he was really the god of forging, then it was not strange for him to fall into a coma after absorbing the forging knowledge of the god.

Hephaestus naturally did not know about Shirou Emiya's psychological activities.

"Well, since you are fine now, you should explain why you appeared in my forging workshop!"

As a god, she would naturally not take such a small matter to heart, but some things must be asked clearly.

That was the forging workshop of the god. If everyone could enter his forging workshop as easily as Shirou Emiya, then wouldn't she, the god, have no dignity?

She was not some goddess of Ju Nu, who had to go to work every day. She didn't know how much she could earn just by selling weapons.

She still had to ask about her own workshop.

Chapter 422 The Blood of God that Does Not Work

"Well, if I say that I accidentally came to your workshop because I opened a door, would you believe it?"

Emiya Shirou scratched his head, not knowing how to explain to Hephaestus.

Lying is something that Emiya Shirou is extremely bad at.

He is better at using sincerity to impress others.

"Oh? Really?"

Hephaestus looked at Emiya Shirou with interest. Although this sounded like a lie, from Emiya Shirou's expression, he was not lying.

She has lived for more than 100 million years, it is impossible that she can't even distinguish lies.

"Do you remember what the door looks like?"

"Ancient wooden door, there is no pattern on it, and the bottom is gradually black. It looks heavy and exudes a weird atmosphere, which makes people not want to open the door."

Emiya Shirou recalled carefully, and it seems that this door is different from what he saw at the beginning.

You should know that when I first saw this wooden door, it was extremely dark, but now the black color gradually faded, revealing its original appearance.

"It doesn't sound like you are lying."

Hephaestus nodded slightly.

It might be a prank by some god, but she didn't know which god would do such a thing for a while.

"You have a good talent for forging. Did you forge that armor?"

She didn't doubt Shirou Emiya, nor did she have any hostility towards him.

After all, in this world, gods act with their own entertainment as the priority, experiencing everything in the underworld, food, interests, making friends, art, and even illness.

For gods, the meaning of many things is not important to them.

"No-"

Shirou Emiya answered Hephaestus very sincerely.

However, if the raw materials were given to Shirou Emiya, he would be able to forge [Devil Haunting].

Although he has always been a projection weapon, he knows how to forge those weapons.

Of course, Shirou Emiya had no way of forging the weapons from Pojun Academy.

Because that was the manifestation of other people's souls, unless their souls were given to Shirou Emiya, and then Shirou Emiya would be able to forge the souls into weapons, it would be possible to forge them.

"Huh?"

Hephaestus did not expect Shirou Emiya to answer so straightforwardly. After all, he could understand her forging skills, so his forging level, or forging talent, should be very high.

She thought that Shirou Emiya's [Devil Haunting] that covered his whole body was forged by himself.

To be honest, after so many years, she had never thought of directly using living creatures to make weapons. At most, she would forge the claws, bones, and the like of those creatures.

Such technology aroused her interest. After 100 million years, she had never seen such an innovative forging method.

Of course, after a brief look, Hephaestus could also directly forge living creatures into weapons.

For gods, this skill is as simple as drinking water.

It can even be improved to make the finished weapon more refined and sturdy.

"I have only forged this weapon--"

As soon as the words fell, the reverse blade appeared in Shirou Emiya's hand.

There is no special pattern, no powerful ability, just a simple and ordinary samurai sword with the blade reversed.

But such a weapon has gone through several worlds with Shirou Emiya until now.

Even if Shirou Emiya has obtained more weapons, he has not changed.

"Good sword!"

Hephaestus looked at the sword in Shirou Emiya's hand and couldn't help but sigh.

It's not because the material used for this sword is so high-end, or the forging process is so superb.

No matter how strong Shirou Emiya's forging talent is, it is his first time to forge a weapon, and there will definitely be shortcomings.

The steel used for the reverse blade is just the most ordinary iron.

But Hephaestus saw that in this sword, the forger's state of mind and will were infused.
