Chapter 15: chapter 15
On the wide dining table.
Hephaestus found that there were cheese, fish, honey and other foods in front of him, while Thetis had only a glass of water in front of her.
"I know you must be hungry , please enjoy there's plenty."
Thetis, with a dignified appearance, noticed that Hephaestus was curiously looking at the water glass in front of her, and gave a glance to the maid beside her.
The latter understood, and not long after he left, he came back with a tray and prepared a cup of wine for Hephaestus.
"thanks."
Hephaestus thanked him, but did not drink at once, and did not touch the table.
Judging from his experience, before eating, Thetis probably still had something to ask him.
"Hephaestus.....I know this will make you sad, but I want to ask, why did your mother, Hera, abandon you?" As he expected, Thetis asked.
"..."
However, Hephaestus was not sad, but was a little embarrassed. After a moment of silence, he answered: "Hera said that I was too ugly and would tarnish her dignity, so she threw me down from Mount Olympus, that's it. Lord Thetis."
"..."
Thetis frowned, as if thinking about something: "But you are not ugly, Hephaestus..."
Hephaestus didn't say anything, and looked at the delicious food in front of him.
"Then, well, Hephaestus. Don't worry about anything else, you will stay here from now on. Hera abandoned you, but it doesn't matter. I, Thetis, will raise you from now on." Seeing this, Thetis said .
Hephaestus nodded, feeling a warmth rise in his chest.
.....
In this way Hephaestus settled down in the palace under the sea.
His room is simply furnished.
These are everyday items. Another wall hangs a bone flute he made from siren bones.
"Strange, why is the system not responding?"
Hephaestus was puzzled.
His iron machete was missing a piece.
The less part was melted into an iron cup by Hephaestus.
Because there is no mold, the shape of the iron cup is irregular and rough.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Hephaestus created the iron cup, but the system did not give a reward.
As usual, there should be movement in the first place.
"What's going on here? Is the system broken?"
Hephaestus tried a few more times and melted out an iron ring, an iron bracelet, and an iron mask. The results were all the same, and the system did not respond.
This made him feel helpless who wanted to continue making things to improve his strength.
After careful consideration, Hephaestus thought of a possibility.
He is now a middle god, and he has also obtained the priesthood of craftsman, creating low-grade artifacts, both in terms of strength and memory, have been greatly changed.
If you continue to build these rough and ordinary items, the system will not reward you.
"Try again."
Hephaestus made up his mind.
He has his tools at the ready, ready to build something beautiful.
Since he received the priesthood of craftsman, he has accepted the inheritance, and Hephaestus has naturally learned a lot of knowledge.
Combined with the knowledge from the previous life, Hephaestus' current skills have reached a very high level, more than enough to create high-level items.
"However, there are too few supplies..."
Hephaestus scratched his head.
There is only a big hammer, half machete, and a dagger in front of him.
It is not only difficult to create high-level items, but there is no way at all...
After thinking for a while, Hephaestus went next door to find his adoptive mother Thetis.
"Little guy, are you still resting?"
Thetis was talking to the chief steward at this moment, when she saw Hephaestus coming, she smiled.
Hephaestus greeted Thetis politely, and said, "I need something to make things, Lady Thetis."
"Oh?"
Thetis was a little surprised.
She knows Hephaestus' gifted craft.
On Lemnos, she has seen objects created in harsh environments.
But now that I have come to the submarine palace, I have everything I need, and I don't need to make things myself anymore...
Thetis thought, probably Hephaestus wanted to have fun.
Thetis didn't object to this kind of thing, so she nodded and agreed: "Of course, siri, you can take Hephaestus to the warehouse Curry to pick out items, whatever he chooses."
"yes."
The steward bowed in salute.
She then leads Hephaestus to the warehouse.
Here Hephaestus selects a few pieces of metal, as well as various gemstones, and tools that can be used to make molds, including many small things such as needles and threads. Finally, the steward was asked to bring a large stove and a large anvil.
In short, the things he chose this time are very rich.
After moving all these to his room, Hephaestus was satisfied.
He intends to use these materials to create a gemstone ring as a gift to Thetis.
There are many steps involved in the manufacture of gemstone rings.
And the finished product is absolutely exquisite and excellent. If there is no way to get rewards, then the system is probably useless.
Hephaestus first used a piece of gold ore picked out by Curry.
This piece of gold ore is the size of an adult's head, so it doesn't take that much to make a ring.
Hephaestus cut a small piece of it and refined it into a golden liquid.
After congealing, he put the small piece of pure gold on an anvil and beat it repeatedly.
After a while, it was beaten into small gold pieces that were neither thin nor thick.
