Even though the rumors leaked from outside made them curious about Nuoyan, they were more afraid that their moody master would tear them down.
After all, in Hephaestus' eyes, they should not continue to live in this world because they were imperfect. Their existence was already a manifestation of her kindness as a goddess.
In short, that's how it was, a week later.
That night, Nuoyan was eating in a room in the temple. When a maid puppet in the temple trembled and brought her food, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the tired Hephaestus was pushed into the room by her maid.
And what Nuoyan didn't know was that at this time, the earth that had been shaking all around had also returned to calm... During this period of time, the volcano had been erupting and the earth had been rumbling.
Hephaestus had been swinging the hammer in his god-made forging room!
"This is the artifact you want."
Then, with Nuoyan's eyes wide open and shocked, Hephaestus came to Nuoyan and placed a white feather pen in front of Nuoyan.
Although she was very tired, her amber eyes looked very excited, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face. She said, "It's been a long time since I forged so happily!
The idea of the brush is not difficult to find, but I thought hard about the canvas for a long time, and finally decided to use the sky that can depict everything and accommodate everything as the canvas.
And your luck is pretty good, I just happen to have something left by Uranus, the god of the sky!"
Uranus, the god of the sky, is the first god king in ancient Greek mythology.
He has always pressed Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, under him, and did not want to separate from her, so the starry sky and the earth are connected around, and the world is in chaos.
Later, the second generation of God King, who is also the father of the current Zeus, Hera, Demeter and other gods, and Kronos, the god of creation and destruction of time and space, swung his sickle, which separated the sky and the earth from then on.
Hephaestus said it very simply, which made the maid next to him look at her more. After all, she, who was helping on the side, saw with her own eyes that Hephaestus threw most of his wealth into the forging furnace this time.
In this way, such a divine tool that can draw the gods and even the God King can record was forged!
You know what a spectacular wealth it is.
As a god who helped the main gods forge the temple and forged weapons for the heroes, the wealth that Hephaestus has accumulated has piled up several hills in the temple!
Therefore, the maid who witnessed all this found that she was a little unsure for a while, whether her master hated the human in front of her or liked him...
But in fact, the problem is not that complicated.
The reason why Hephaestus threw most of his wealth into it was because she didn't care about those things.
Forging is the greatest pleasure for her as a god.
And once you do it, you must do it well. Even if the person in front of you is a believer of Hera, Hephaestus will never be vague. This is why she is the god of forging.
So at this moment, Hephaestus smiled and proudly showed off to Nuoyan: "Nuoyan, do you know, this is my rare and excellent child? It is so perfect, comparable to the Aegis I forged at the beginning!"
"It has no canvas, because the sky is its canvas. When you paint a picture with it, the picture will fall into your hands, and you don't need any dyes. Whatever color you need, it can show you what color you need!"
"So now Nuoyan, pick it up, pick up this child who is worthy of my pride, and then present the picture in front of me!"
Hearing this, Nuoyan gradually came back to his senses and looked at Hephaestus with an incredible face.
Although he thought that Hephaestus might have gone to forge a divine weapon for him during his disappearance, Nuoyan really didn't expect that Hephaestus would actually present such a great gift to him!
After a brief hesitation, Nuoyan gritted his teeth and picked it up, looking at Hephaestus in front of him, and bowed to her from the bottom of his heart, respectfully saying: "Thank you, noble and beautiful goddess Hephaestus.
From today on, I will use it well!"
Nuoyan's reaction made Hephaestus very satisfied. If he pretended to be terrified and refused in front of such a divine weapon, Hephaestus would be displeased.
"But you want to use it, but it is not completely without cost." Then Hephaestus said: "Its birth is due to the words you said to me."
The thing drawn is the sky full of gods.
"It is because it gave me inspiration and ignited my soul of forging. Since you want to use it, you must satisfy this point.
Now I need you to give me a vow, a vow that must be fulfilled!"
"I understand, Goddess Hephaestus, I will carve the gods in a while!" Nuoyan nodded and answered seriously.
Such a price in exchange for such a divine weapon, this is no longer a question of whether it is worth it, but a big pie falling from the sky.
"Not the gods, but the main gods." Hephaestus shook his head and corrected Nuoyan: "Since you are qualified to paint the four main gods, my requirement for you is to collect all the remaining main gods.
Therefore, you must swear to me that you must portray all the remaining gods in your brush, including my father, the great god-king-Zeus!
Only then does it truly belong to you. "
Hearing this promise, he was stunned for a while and hesitated.
"Why, are you scared?" Hephaestus saw this and smiled: "Don't you want a wonderful life? Isn't such a life wonderful enough?"
"...I understand the goddess Hephaestus." Promise breathed out slowly, and finally smiled, and said to Hephaestus: "I swear to you, I will hold my hand This brush depicts the gods of Olympus!"
"Not bad." Hephaestus nodded with satisfaction, "That's it, then... let's start now."
Hephaestus smiled and said, "Let me start, promise."
"Show me what you're capable of, and don't let me down."
Hephaestus actually knew the power of promises. Whether it was the matter of Artemis using the night as a canvas, or the matter of Hades and Persephone, Hephaestus just didn't want to know. All difficult.
So at this moment, Hephaestus was still looking forward to seeing how the promise would portray him.
Then she saw Nuoyan's troubled face.
"What's wrong?" Hephaestus, who frowned slightly, asked Nuoyan incomprehensibly, "Did I just make a very rude request?"
"No, it is naturally my honor to be able to present a painting to you, the goddess Hephaestus!" Nuo Yan quickly waved his hand to deny it.
Then Hephaestus became even more confused and tilted his head to look at him.
After hesitating for a while, he finally had to answer bravely: "It's just, it's just... I'm sorry, Goddess Hephaestus."
"Actually, before I came here, I had already promised Hera, the Queen of Heaven, that she would be the first god I painted after I got the brush..."
The more he spoke, the quieter the promise became.
After all, even he knew that his answer was a bit sick!
And these words frightened the maid on the side.
The maid just relaxed because she noticed that Hephaestus was in a good mood. Even the maid could hardly remember the last time she saw Hephaestus happy and happy from the bottom of his heart. The time has passed.
Just when she thought that nothing happened today and she was happy for her master, who knew that Nuoyan would drop such a bomb again!
But what surprised both Nuoyan and the maid was that when Hephaestus heard Nuoyan's words, he didn't erupt like a volcano and become angry.
Instead she fell silent.
Because Hephaestus found that he...had actually forgotten.
She was so happy forging and looking forward to the future described by Nuo Yan that she actually forgot to let Nuo Yan come to the temple, in fact to imprison and torture him.
Yes, Hephaestus' real purpose all along was to torture Nuoyan so hard that he would collapse his mind and make him give up his belief in Hera.
At the same time, Hephaestus would imprison him in the temple, quietly waiting for Hera's next arrival.
Because she was looking forward to it, looking forward to Hera's reaction when she saw that scene!
So after coming back to his senses and remembering his original purpose, Hephaestus looked at Promise with his head lowered in front of him.
Should we start torturing him now?
But we have already made an oath to him, and he is not that annoying...
Hephaestus thought this, and gradually felt inexplicably irritable.
So later, she simply took out the golden apple that she had prepared for a long time.
"Eat."
"Eh?" Nuoyan blinked and looked at Hephaestus who suddenly handed over the golden apple in front of him.
He originally wanted to say that he was not hungry, so he imagined leaving it and saving it as usual.
But then he found that Hephaestus's gaze staring at him was dull, but he could not refuse.
In addition, I felt guilty in my heart.
So I had no choice but to take the promise and bite it in front of Hephaestus.
Then he rolled his eyes and passed out.
Chapter 77: What to do if you are imprisoned? Waiting online, very urgent! (3k)
The promise woke up,
When he woke up, with the moonlight shining in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Nuoyan sat up and found that he had a silver chain on his left hand.
On the other end of the chain is the foot of the bed of the goddess Hephaestus.
"Don't think about it in vain, you can't break free."
Hephaestus's faint voice came. She was sitting on the bed at this time, put on a pure white nightgown, and her legs, which seemed to be carefully carved, were hanging next to Nuoyan.
On the other side of Nuo Yan, the maid doll with long flaxen hair was staring at Nuo Yan to prevent Nuo Yan from messing up... Of course, the maid knew that Nuo Yan could not hurt her master no matter what.
Even if Hephaestus can't move on her own, she will still be a goddess, and she will also be the main god with terrifying divine power.
But the appearance still needs to be done, after all, the maid does not want to be torn down.
"This is my special chain. I used it to imprison Prometheus in the Caucasus Mountains. I also used it to bind Hera. Even the gods couldn't do anything to it." Hephaestus said, her mouth slightly raised, looking a little proud.
Prometheus, Nuoyan naturally knew him. Because humans stole fire, he was ordered by the king of gods Zeus to be tied to a steep cliff, so that he could never fall asleep and his tired knees could not bend.
And every day there would be a vulture to peck at Prometheus's broken and regrown liver.
And the chain that bound Prometheus, the chain that could seal the divine power, was forged by Hephaestus.
So Prometheus was fine, but Hera...
"Honorable Queen Hera?" Nuoyan blinked his emerald eyes and looked at Hephaestus curiously. He really didn't know when Hera had been tied up.
Seeing this, the maid next to her couldn't help but feel a little confused, because she found that Nuoyan, who had woken up, was not panicked at all even though she found herself imprisoned.
"It seems that you don't know." Hearing this, Hephaestus, with his mouth raised again, actually explained to Nuoyan... No, to be precise, he couldn't wait to show off his past achievements.
Even though he was very sleepy, Hephaestus still cheered up when talking about this.
And when Nuoyan heard what she said, she finally understood why Athena and others had always said that Hera was most afraid of her daughter Hephaestus.
The whole story is not complicated. After Hephaestus was thrown down from Olympus by Hera, she did not die, but was picked up by the Ocean Goddess Thesis.
The Ocean Goddess Thesis is the mother of three thousand ocean goddesses and almost all river sources in ancient Greek mythology. Therefore, even if she knew about it, Hera didn't care about it later.
But what Hera didn't expect was that when Hephaestus grew up, not only did his power reach the level of the main god, but he also had the forging technology that even the king of gods Zeus paid attention to, so Zeus let her return to the holy mountain of Olympus.
Hephaestus, who had just returned, actually had certain expectations. Due to the good upbringing of the goddess of the ocean, Thesis, she didn't actually think about how to retaliate against Hera when she first came back. She hoped more to get her mother's recognition and an apology.
But what Hephaestus didn't expect was that what greeted her was the humiliation led by Hera at the banquet of the gods of Olympus.
The lame leg and the birthmark on her face made the proud Hera simply admit that she was so imperfect. She, the ugliest among the gods, turned out to be her own daughter.
So in the humiliating ridicule, Hephaestus silently left the banquet.
Later, Hephaestus forged a throne for Hera, a beautiful, dazzling throne of the queen of heaven that was completely worthy of her status. Ever
Hera, who received the gift, was attracted by it at first sight, so she sat on it without thinking.
Then the chain appeared from it and locked her tightly.
Under the restraint of the chain, even the noble Queen Hera lost all her divine power and became an ordinary woman.
And as long as the gods touched the chain, they would lose their divine power, and it would be difficult to guarantee that Hera would not be hurt if they forcibly broke it with other artifacts, such as the thunder of the king of gods Zeus and the trident of the sea god Poseidon.
So at the end of that incident, Hera cried and apologized to Hephaestus in front of all the gods, and the gods also recognized Hephaestus as the main god of Olympus, and the whole thing was over.
After hearing all this,
Nuoyan first looked at the maid who closed her eyes and showed a look of "my life is over", and then looked at the silver chain in her hand.
"So this iron chain is..." Nuoyan raised his left hand slightly, and the chain swayed with a crisp sound.
"Yes." Hephaestus nodded, "It's the same style as them."
"...After hearing this, I feel like I'm quite honored." Nuoyan couldn't help but sigh.
Yes, a queen of heaven Hera, a prophet god Prometheus.
"Then, be happy?" Hephaestus tilted his head and said to Nuoyan.
Nuoyan heard it, thought about it, and actually smiled back at Hephaestus, which made Hephaestus, who was stunned, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She stretched out her hand to cover the corner of her mouth slightly, and smiled: "You, child, are really cute and interesting beyond my expectation... By the way, you actually guessed it before eating the golden apple just now, right?"
