Rise of fire and pain Hephaestus si

Inside the room.

Thetis was sitting at the dresser combing her hair.

Her beautiful and refined appearance is reflected in the bronze mirror.

Suddenly, from the mirror, she saw a teenager walking from the door.

The young man was handsome, with blazing eyes, a tall and strong figure, and long golden hair casually draped over his shoulders, giving him a sense of unrestrained charisma.

"Hephaestus." She called out with a smile on her lips.

This is the child she rescued from the claws of the river god a year ago.

In just one year, he has grown into a perfect handsome boy.

This kind of appearance is one of the best even among the gods, and it is rare to see it.

"Good morning, Lady Thetis."

Hephaestus greeted and walked to Thetis's side, hands behind his back.

"My sweet child, you broke into my room early in the morning, what are you hiding behind your back?"

Thetis didn't look at him, but jokingly seemed to see through him.

"Of course it's a gift for you."

Hephaestus laughed, took out the earrings, and said, "This is a pair of earrings. In a short time, it should be the last gift I give you."

"The last gift?" Hearing this, Thetis' complexion changed slightly, not knowing the meaning of this sentence.

"Yes, in the short term."

Hephaestus gently put the earrings on Thetis and said:

"You also know that during this year, I have created too many exquisite and sophisticated things.

My forging skills can no longer be improved by relying on these things.

So I must create a higher level of artifacts.

By the way, go out and travel.

This Coming here is also a formal farewell to you, Lady Thetis."

"..."

Thetis was silent for a while, and tightly grasped Hephaestus' hand.

Although her eyebrows were full of worry, she didn't say anything to stop him.

Because she knows Hephaestus, forging is very important to him!

And Hephaestus, destined to become a great craftsman in the future!

Of course she won't stop it.

"Hephaestus, I know that sooner or later you will walk out of the bottom of the sea. I just didn't expect this day to come so soon."

A trace of disappointment flashed across Thetis' bright eyes: "Be careful in everything, Hephaestus. If you encounter difficulties, you can always come back to me, you know."

"certainly."

Hephaestus grasped Thetis's with his other hand, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart.

He is still very interested in traveling abroad.

After all, since he came to this world, he has lived on islands and under the sea, and has never set foot on the mainland.

The creatures I know, apart from a few gods, are Nereids and ocen spirits in the palace, and no human being he has never seen them.

However, the main purpose of this trip is to find materials for forging artifacts, and Hephaestus will not forget this.

As for Thetis, he will come back anyway... This is just a temporary separation.

Farewell to Thetis ends.

Hephaestus left the Ocean Temple.

After breaking through the water, he soared in mid-air, breathing the air freely.

"This time I can fly happily."

"Since I got the flying magic, I haven't flown a few times!!"

Hephaestus tightened his belt, muttering to himself.

The whole person suddenly swished and disappeared in place.

Cheerful laughter spread far and wide.

Wherever he passed, powerful air waves swept through, drawing a deep scar on the vast sea.

"This damn brat! He actually got out of the Ocean God Palace! I finally got my chance!!"

on the sea.

Suddenly a figure appeared.

That figure was tall and burly, with a ferocious face, it was the river god Achelous!

He has not returned to his home this year, but has been monitoring Hephaestus' every move around the Sea God Palace.

He has never forgotten the blood feud of his daughter Siren!

However, during this year, Hephaestus almost stayed behind closed doors.

Even occasional trips are accompanied by Thetis, the goddess of the sea.

Ekrous couldn't find a chance to start! But he is very patient. In the long life of a god, one year is nothing at all, and he can afford to wait ten or eight years! As long as there is revenge!

Fortunately, this time finally waited for the opportunity.

"Hephaestus, without the protection of the goddess of the sea, you are a damned waste!!"

"Your death day is coming!!"

The river god let out a low roar full of hatred, dived into the bottom of the sea, and chased after Hephaestus in the direction where Hephaestus left.

....

"Finally here!"

"Below is the human city-state!"

In mid-air, a gust of wind suddenly hit.

we see a handsome blond boy standing in the air, looking down at the ground excitedly.

He seems to have the unique smell of the sea.

This young man is naturally Hephaestus.

After a long journey, he crossed the sea, many mountains and rivers, and a plain, and finally came to a big human city-state!

Ferocious monsters often cause disasters.

And the city-state where humans gather is the fastest place to know the whereabouts of these monsters.

"Soldiers of the human kingdom, farmers, traders, beggars..."

Come to the gate of the city.

Hephaestus surveyed everything with curious eyes.

The soldiers guarding the gates of the city were wearing armor, holding shields and robes.

Ordinary passers-by are dressed in simple and loose khaki robes. The merchants are different, they are all glamorous, and their manners are smooth.

In the corner, there were a few ragged little beggars covered in oil, staring at every passerby with timid eyes, silently begging them for some food.

Because Hephaestus' appearance and temperament are too outstanding.

At the gate of the city, no matter the passers-by, guards, beggars, or vendors, they all looked at him and whispered in low voices.

"What a handsome boy, I have never seen such a beautiful person in my life..."

"Oh my gods, he looks like a god walking in the world!"

"He's here!"

Hephaestus was a little embarrassed and speechless:

"It's like watching a zoo animal."
