The trial is drawing to a close.
The Lady Justice sat back in her seat and announced calmly and solemnly:
"The trial is over!!"
....
The river god and the maelstrom monster, who didn't dare to say a word, fled the temple of justice quickly.
This kind of confrontation between giants is not something they can get involved in.
Life will be difficult for anyone who offends.
This time, I can only admit that I am unlucky.
And Hephaestus, in a happy mood, left Mount Olympus hand in hand with the goddess of the sea, and went back to the sea.
Only Hera had an unknown fire burning in her heart.
Even as the queen of the gods, she couldn't ignore the judgment of the goddess of justice, so she had no choice but to stay in her own shrine and confine herself to contemplate her mistakes.
It was inevitable that this matter would spread.
Many gods were laughing and talking about Hera.
Especially those who had hatred and suspicion with Hera in the past, they were very happy about it.
Even Zeus, the lord of the gods, mocked Hera with a sneer, and was teased and circulated by troublemakers.
When Hera, who was confined, knew about it, she was extremely ashamed.
This is entirely her own doing.
If she hadn't been jealous that Zeus gave birth to Athena and tried to give birth to a child by herself, she wouldn't have given birth to the ugly Hephaestus...not to mention such a series of bad things!
But she didn't know that Zeus was able to give birth to the incomparably excellent goddess Athena because of Metis shaking in her body...
But it's too late to say anything now.
Hera had to endure it all.
....
Undersea Palace.
There are many metal ores in front of Hephaestus.
Gold, silver, copper, iron, including ilmenite ore with a special sheen.
He now intends to re-forge his own hammer.
The iconic item of the God of Fire and Craftsmanship is the big hammer!
He usually needs to use a hammer to create items. It has been used too many times, and the hammer made on Lemnos Island is already in dilapidated condition and must be remade.
"Building an excellent hammer should also get a lot of rewards!"
Hephaestus thought to himself, and put the titanium iron in a furnace, stretched out his hand and blasted out the flames.
As time goes by, the ilmenite ore is gradually melted into a liquid... The whole room is illuminated red.
In the room of Hephaestus, apart from the siren bone flute, there are many more decorative crafts.
During this period of time without the threat of Hera, he was in a good mood and never stopped forging. He actually forged several excellent items and received many system rewards.
"I am the god of fire and the god of craftsmen. Let's engrave a flame symbol on the hammer."
Hephaestus carves the shape of a cluster of sparks with fire wire as he drums the mold.
In this way, the molten titanium iron is finally poured in, and after it condenses, there will be flame runes on the surface of the hammer.
Such a busy day.
Hephaestus finally made it, and got a brand new solid hammer!
There are runes of fire on both sides of the hammer body.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to the host for successfully producing excellent items, the system rewards [ten years of divine power]! [charm value +5]!"
The rewards of the system came.
A smile curled up on the corner of Hephaestus's mouth, he raised the hammer and swung it a few times, causing a whimpering sound.
This hammer is very handy.
...
In the deep palace under the sea, Hephaestus keeps making items like this.
Some crafts are tedious and lengthy to make, taking days, but rewarding. Especially charisma.
In addition, he is still thinking about how to make the artifact.
I learned from the sea goddess Thetis that artifacts are divided into five categories: low-grade artifacts, mid-grade artifacts, high-grade artifacts, master artifacts, and the rarest original artifacts.
The siren bone flute made by Hephaestus is only a low-grade artifact.
And the attack power is not strong, if fighting, it can only play a supporting role.
But the materials needed to make the artifact were too many and too precious, so Hephaestus had no choice but to give up for a while.
In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.
During this period, Hephaestus forged more than ten pairs of armor, more than twenty swords, spears, shields, and many sharp weapons, as well as exquisite and luxurious handicrafts such as necklaces, bracelets, rings, earrings, and crowns.
Most of the handicrafts were given to Thetis as gifts.
Among them, the one that satisfied Hephaestus the most was [Heart of the Ocean].
It was a crown made of pure gold, with elegant and simple lines.
A rare secret sapphire is embedded in the center, just opposite the forehead.
Theti ribbon on the head, noble and elegant, extremely beautiful! !
Even Thetis herself loved the crown.
In other words, every handicraft of Hephaestus makes her love it.
In her opinion, Hephaestus, who has mastered the forging skills with a high degree of proficiency, is already an unparalleled craftsman in this world.
Naturally, Hephaestus created so many excellent handicrafts, and also received many system rewards, and his strength was successfully promoted to the first rank of the upper god! !
He also got a lot of magical skills and talent proficiency.
His current strength is more than a hundred times stronger than before!
"Finally finished!"
In front of a stone table.
Hephaestus stretched his arms and stretched his neck.
In front of him was a pair of small pearl earrings, with exquisite patterns carved on them, and a line of insignia that was barely visible.
To the beloved goddess of the ocean, Thetis.
This is the latest craft created by Hephaestus.
However, the system rewards have not been issued.
This is not surprising to him. He knew it a few days ago. With the improvement of his own strength, he will not get a response from the system even if he manufactures sophisticated handicrafts.
Now I am afraid that only by creating the artifact can I receive the reward.
"The materials for making artifacts are rare and hard to find, and the Ocean God Palace doesn't have them either."
"Looks like it's time to get out and travel around!"
Hephaestus's thoughts became more and more determined.
He packed the earrings and disappeared into the room like the wind.
When he reappeared, he had already arrived at Thetis' room.
