On the boulder bridge, Hephaestus began his first steps in teaching because Russell wanted to start learning from forging weapons and armor.

Identify the material!

This is basic, like a mathematical formula, and before you can apply it, you have to know what the character represents.

The reason was that Hephaestus asked a few simple questions about blacksmithing, Russell answered them one by one, and after a dozen or so questions, Hephaestus nodded secretly, this is a layman who is not even an apprentice.

Full of stabs, flat and stable, half a bucket of water likes to shake twice when there is nothing to do.

In Hephaestus's view, Russell belonged to a large empty bucket, with only three or five drops of water in it, which obviously couldn't make a sound, and he liked to shake it desperately.

The details are as follows:

"Will you strike iron?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I've made a lot of armor, and it's strong and durable."

"What material?"

"If I know everything, why do I come to you?"

“……”

Hephaestus knew that he couldn't argue, so he no longer bothered with the levers, dragging the chains again and again, and lifting the various materials in the magma in the center of the earth to the edge of the bridge.

He took the trouble to describe the advantages and disadvantages of various materials, their applicability, melting and cooling points, the concentration ratio of alloys, and the corresponding channels of use.

Complex and brain-burning, coupled with Hephaestus's lack of words, he often has a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and he talks about whatever he wants, resulting in ten days and ten nights of this material science.

Although the teacher is not good at teaching, he has a lot of knowledge, rich experience, and strong hands-on ability, and pays more attention to practice than theory.

Except for the occasional mention of Aphrodite, the two got along quite happily.

Russell was pleased to have learned, and Hephaestus was pleased to have someone to listen to his expertise.

Don't look at most otaku who are indifferent and arrogant, and look like they don't care about everyone, in fact, they are more talkative than anyone else, as long as the topic of conversation continues in their professional field, they can talk about the world and the sky is not tired.

"Ordinary people make weapons and armor, or use molds to cool, or forge at high temperatures, and constantly hammer out impurities......"

"But for us, there is no need to be so troublesome, I am the god of fire, you are the god of the sun, both are good at temperature control, and they are far ahead of them in the beginning of ...... blacksmithing."

"Of course, I personally prefer to use a hammer, and when you take the trouble to polish a work of art, you feel a sense of accomplishment in creating life, or creating a world, with your own hands, and it's a pleasant process."

“……”

Russell didn't answer, thinking that if Aphrodite had a change of heart, he would be able to sleep Hephaestus in one fell sleek, and he would be so happy that he forgot what a hammer looked like.

"Russell, since you want to create an armor, you must have a general idea and design concept, whether it will be used as a dress or for battle."

"If it's a dress, before forging it, you need to draw the design by hand and make a simple finished product to make sure that the materials are not wasted, and ......"

"If it is used in combat, there are more things that need to be paid attention to in the design process of this armor."

Hephaestus couldn't stop talking, but he couldn't interrupt him, because he had a point.

"The armor should match your own fighting style, it's like a different class, focus on practicality, don't talk to me about making up for it with materials, when everyone's materials are the same, this will no longer be your advantage."

"Uh......"

Russell scratched his head and said his ideal sun god suit: "First of all, you have to be handsome, you have to pull the wind, and as soon as you appear, you will make the other party ashamed of yourself, and feel that the one on your body is tattered, and I am embarrassed to wear it." ”

"Secondly, the defense must be strong, I didn't take a punch, and the opponent's hand must be broken."

"In the end, if you can transform and combine and have three forms, that's the best."

Hephaestus: (??)

"What's wrong, is it hard?"

"yes, it's really hard to talk to you."

Hephaestus nodded, after only ten days of getting along, the honest man has mastered a skillful complaint.

"Why, I think it's okay!"

"Styling, defense, and combination changes, these three are basically incompatible, they can be designed, but they can't be used in actual combat, to put it bluntly, except for good-looking farts."

"Not necessarily."

Russell said, taking out his golden armor from the space he carried, indicating that it was made by himself, and listing the advantages: "Whether it is physical defense ability or elemental resistance, it is very powerful, and it is very handsome and stylish, which is my proud work." ”

Hephaestus did not rush to refute, but carefully examined a few stools, and frowned slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, the material of the armor has been forged more than once, which is strange...... I'm not saying it's bad, in fact, the forging technique is very clever, and the materials that are not suitable for forging armor are perfectly made into an armor. ”

"Well, how do you do it, the forging process is different from all the techniques I know, it's like ...... Naturally grown!? ”

Hephaestus had a question mark in his head, and he didn't think that this armor was from Russell's hand, if it was, then Russell didn't need to study with him, he was already in a class of his own.

Russell's face was solemn, and he secretly said that he was worthy of being the god of craftsmen, and he could see through the reality of the golden armor at a glance.

The material of the golden armor comes from the [Pirates of the Caribbean] world, Russell pulled out Poseidon's golden chariot, which was shattered by Zeus Thunder, and the fragments have been kept by him.

Later, he used the skill card 'Matrix Forge' to forge the pieces of the chariot into a golden suit in the alchemical method of material decomposition.

During the battle with Thanos, the golden suit was shattered by the Mind Gem and turned into a piece of shard.

In the end, he went astray, and accidentally became the lord of the dark dimension, reorganized his armor in the dark dimension, and attached dark patterns to his current appearance.

Hephaestus was not wrong in his assessment that it was a natural creation.

"Hey, there's a weird design in this armor."

When Hephaestus inspected the boots of the Golden Warframe, he was stunned and said, "You here, the soles are too thick......"

"Ahem, there is no need to dwell on the details, you say that it is a naturally grown creation, and everything must have its value and deep meaning."

Russell snatched the boots and said solemnly: "Look at this armor, it is perfectly compatible with appearance and defense, and this is the point." ”

"But it doesn't deform, and it doesn't have three combinations."

"Take back the previous words, two are fine, can you teach me how to forge?"

"It's hard!"

Hephaestus shook his head: "The forging principle of this armor is very rare, I haven't figured it out myself, how can I teach you?" ”

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, are you really the god of forging?"

Russell sighed: "If I knew this would be the case, I would have dated Aphrodite or Athena and not come to you." Russell thought silently in his heart, afraid of hitting Hephaestus's self-esteem, so he didn't say it. ”

Hearing Russell's words, Hephaestus immediately blushed and muttered in a low voice: "What about forging...... It has to be rigorous, I didn't say no, I just have to study it. ”

After that, Hephaestus told a few simple techniques, asked Russell to design the armor, tried to practice from the very basics, and studied the golden armor by himself, wanting to crack the technical process.

Hard!

Russell was not optimistic about Hephaestus, even if he was the god of forging, it was impossible to explore the secrets of the world's forging products.

He raised his hand to hook up several molten metal liquids from below, fused them into a ball with reference to the ratio, and then used electromagnetic force to plasticize them, and after they cooled, they directly formed a long sword with a sharp cold light.

"It's not that difficult!"

Russell muttered and took out the 'Vulcan Sword' in his portable space, from the DC world, Wonder Woman Diana's sword, forged by Hephaestus, the god of fire in that world.

The two swords were erected, the blades of the swords collided, and the sword of the god of fire sharpened iron like clay, cutting Russell's newly made longsword in half.

Russell didn't speak, seeing Hephaestus engrossed in studying the golden armor, whistling and kicking the broken sword into the magma below, and then raised the sword of Vulcan.

"Hephaestus, come and see, I've created an artifact."

“？”

Hephaestus scoffed, he knew very well that Russell had some ability, but when he saw the sword of Vulcan, he was immediately surprised, and he snatched it and studied it.

"What a clever forging technique, amazing...... From a famous artist, where did you get it? ”

"I don't like to hear this, it's clear that I forged it myself."

"Impossible, this sword is complicated, and I haven't started teaching you many tricks yet......"

Hephaestus glanced at Russell: "At the very least, you have to have a hammer to be more persuasive." ”

"Yes."

Russell took out the one-handed hammer that had been kept in his carry-on space: "By the way, this hammer was also forged by me, a work from a long time ago." ”

[Item Card: Opponent (Epic One-Handed Hammer, Priced at 6g)]

"A good hammer, but again, you can't forge it." Hephaestus shook his head again.

Who to look down on?

Russell snorted coldly and asked the system to open Hephaestus' two draws.

[Skill Card: God of Forging (Don't Look at It, You Are the Ancestor)]

[Skill Card: God of Forging (Don't Look at It, You Are the Ancestor)]

"I didn't get the character card with the highest odds......"

Russell whispered BB and volleyed the golden armor: "See clearly, I forged a sun god suit on the spot, so you know that I pretended to be crazy and stupid before, not because I don't understand, but because I am a relatively low-key person." ”

"Calm down, the craftsmanship of this armor is unknown, it belongs to the only one, and there will be no second one if it is destroyed."

Hephaestus sweated in shock: "There are also the materials of the battle armor, as well as the dark energy magic patterns attached to them, which are extremely valuable for research, you can't mess around." ”

"Hmph, if I can build one, I can build a second."

Russell linked the system, using the skill card of the 'God of Forging', and then enchanted the left of the Throne to turn the opponent's one-handed hammer into a white sledgehammer covered in cross inscriptions.

The golden armor disintegrated on its own and was put on Russell one by one, his eyes closed, and the authority belonging to the sun in his body began to glow.

The scorching heat dispersed, the golden armor turned red, and the hidden dark energy peeled off the cocoon, turned into several swimming snakes, and left far away after landing on the ground.

When the armor melted into liquid, Russell's eyes narrowed slightly, and the moment he held the handle of the hammer, the tattoo on the soles of his feet warmed up.

Today he let Hephaestus know that the gray wolf is not just a funny character.
