Russell recreated the Helios suit, levitated it in mid-air, and studied it with Hephaestus.

To tell the truth, if it were to do it again, Russell would not be confident that he would succeed in forging it, and he wanted to learn from the professionals and try to see if he could gain something.

"It was perfect! Russell, how did you come up with the idea? ”

"That's a long story......"

Russell did not hide the situation at the time, and by the way, he told Hephaestus all the insights he had gained.

As he had promised Hephaestus, if anyone stood before him and asked for the transmission of knowledge, he would not be stingy with his private possession.

Of course, this is also enough for Hephaestus, and it is estimated that it is enough for others.

Hephaestus nodded his head again and again, and while communicating with Russell, he tried to urge the authority of the 'Vulcan' to create his own suit.

The effect was average, and for some reason, he tried several times to no avail, and he couldn't help but cast a small aggrieved look at Russell.

"Don't look at me like that, I've said everything I need to say...... Don't look at it, I'm about to throw up. ”

Being stared at by a two-meter-tall, hairy strong man with big shining eyes and pouting, Russell's scalp was tingling.

"Maybe it's called luck!"

Hephaestus sighed, envious of Russell, and saddened that he didn't have enough chance.

"Luck ......"

Russell flattened his mouth and did not comment on this, but changed the topic and said: "We continue to teach and learn, and there is still a lot I don't understand about forging. ”

The more you learn, the more you don't know.

He has received a master-level evaluation, purely because of his strong hands-on ability, and his theoretical knowledge is blank in many places, and he still needs a wave of charging.

Hephaestus is the god of forging, and Russell is thinking about having a large belt quest and leveling up to gain experience points.

"Russell, don't joke with me."

Hephaestus looked ashamed: "Looking at your craftsmanship at the time of forging, I know that your skills have reached the peak, and I can't teach you anything if I want to." ”

That's your craft, I don't.

Russell sighed in his heart, with a low-key expression on his face: "No, the previous time was luck, and it can't represent my true level." Also, it was a pleasure to communicate with you, and I want to learn more. ”

"No problem, it's just a thank you gift for telling me about your feelings."

Hephaestus said no more, took the forging materials from the magma, forged large and small objects again and again, either by himself with oral experience, or by letting Russell practice, he pointed out the mistakes beside him.

There are almost no mistakes, Russell is already a master, and his intuition is very sharp in forging, although he doesn't know the principle, but he feels the hammer and never misses every key step.

The two of them just taught and learned, and seven or eight days passed quickly.

Hephaestus deserves the title of the god of forging, not only because of his authority, but also because he is extremely talented and loves blacksmithing, and has explored and summarized countless skills.

Russell humbly learns, squeezing Hephaestus dry while absorbing the knowledge he imparts like SpongeBob SquarePants.

"Don't worry, I'll rush at you, I promise, I won't make eye contact with Aphrodite when I return to the mountain."

"You promised not to mention her again, and you promised before."

"This time it's serious!"

Clang~~~

Hephaestus dropped his hammer, did not grasp the strength, hammered the shield embryo in front of him, and returned to the furnace with a speechless face.

……

Hephaestus has a lot of knowledge in forging, and it takes me an unknown number of years to learn it all, and even if Russell has a master-level evaluation, he only specializes in weapons and armor.

The rest, such as metal ornaments, temples, and mountains, was not interested, and he simply learned some to fill the façade, so he did not study it in depth.

"You still want to learn pottery?"

"Yes, it's just kneading the mud."

"That's not called pinching mud......"

Hephaestus, with his old face stretched, led Russell out of the forge and went to another workshop of his own.

In addition to forging, he knows a little about carpenters, sculptures, pottery, etc., and in the main hall of the mountain, the hollowed-out workshops are the best proof.

"First of all, in addition to forging, I only know a little bit about other art fields, and you can't learn the essence from me."

Hephaestus sighed: "In contrast, Prometheus is known to be proficient in everything, and Athena's painting, sculpture, gardening, pottery, etc., are no worse than mine." ”

"Then why did you pinch Pandora with clay instead of Athena?"

"That's why you want to learn pottery?" Hephaestus suddenly realized.

"No, if you really want to be a person, I have a way, but I have a personal yearning for pinching and molding, and I want to make some gadgets for viewing."

Russell is obsessed with his handiwork, and there are still several empty walls in the house, and he wants to pinch some wives to fill them up.

"Whatever you say, I'll teach you."

Hephaestus shook his head, Russell really wanted to pinch a Pandora out, but he couldn't take care of it.

Besides, in his opinion, Russell wants women to have a way, and there is no need to make a fake with mud.

As the two were talking, they came to Hephaestus' daily pottery workshop, only to see the door open and the inside was constantly moving.

"Oops, someone sneaked in!"

Hephaestus looked astonished, wondering which thief had been so bold as to break into his hall.

He rushed in, with several targets on his mind, most likely Hermes, who came and went like the wind and was proficient in picking doors and locks, and it was not difficult to break into his heavily organized hall.

Hephaestus didn't like Hermes for a variety of reasons, the most important of which was that Hermes had a leg with his wife.

"Hey, why are you?"

Hephaestus walked into the main hall and looked at Ai'e with a muddy face, and immediately let out a surprised voice, and looked back at Russell for answers.

When Russell turned on telepathy, he knew that it was Ai'e, and the reason why he didn't make a sound was because he was a little embarrassed.

The two big men studied the iron, threw a beautiful woman like a flower and jade in the corner, and left it to fend for nearly twenty days, even forgetting that there was such a person.

Spread the word, Russell couldn't afford to lose this person.

Ai'e: (???)

Ai'e didn't speak, just looked at the two, full of grievances and didn't know who to confide in.

Since she was brought into the Vulcan Palace by Russell, she has become a transparent person, no one cares and no one asks, fortunately, the third-rate god is also a god, and ordinary people would have eaten soil and died a long time ago.

During this period, Ai'e also thought about leaving, but the stone door of the main hall was unusually strong, and she could not leave without the permission of Hephaestus.

I wanted to go to the forging room to find someone, but I couldn't stand the heat when the god of fire and the sun god struck iron, so I stood at the door and shouted, and the two ignored her.

Feeling lost, he pondered that he had not yet had a piece of iron, so he began to entertain himself and study the works of art in the hall.

After spending four or five days, she suddenly discovered a studio, and Hephaestus, who was very interested in gardening, looked through the treasures on the shelves as the 'goddess of gardening'.

After that, she went to the pottery studio, followed Hephaestus's notes, and began her self-study career.

That's how the mud on the face came from.

"Ai'e, I didn't expect you to like to pinch mud too, why didn't you say it earlier, I brought you here earlier." Russell said a word, and let the embarrassment go away with the wind like the past.

"It's not kneading mud, it's pottery." Hephaestus reminded.

"Yes, it's pottery, it's all Ai'e's fault, she used to say that a lot, and I can't change it."

“……”

Ai Baba put down the clay in his hand, Russell took two steps forward, grabbed the handicraft on the table, and said in amazement: "Yes, I can't see that you are quite ingenious, this bow is really beautiful, but there are a lot of strings." ”

"Russell, that's the harp." Hephaestus reminded.

"Of course I know this is a harp, don't talk if you're single, I'll make Ai'e happy!"

"Is that so?"

"That's right, every time I say that, the goddesses laugh and tremble, and then they fall into my arms."

"I see."

Hephaestus nodded and silently jotted it down, indicating that he had learned.

Ai'e rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to Russell, and apologized to Hephaestus, hoping that he wouldn't blame herself for breaking into the studio without permission.

Hephaestus didn't mind, except for Russell's face, he himself had a certain affection for people who liked art.

"By the way, you didn't go into my pantry, did you?"

Suddenly, Hephaestus thought of something and asked Ai'e in a cautious whisper.

"Nope."

Ai'e shook her head, the storage room was filled with all kinds of clay dolls, not only Athena, but also Athena, and Athena.

Not a single Aphrodite.

The Athena were densely piled up on the shelves, all wiped spotlessly, and not only would she not talk nonsense, but she would act as if she didn't see it.

"It's good if you don't have it, it's actually nothing, I pinched gadgets when I was young, and I didn't have good craftsmanship at that time, and they were all playful, hahaha......"

Hephaestus explained two sentences, and seeing that Russell began to be suspicious, he secretly said that he would lose more words, and coughed lightly: "It just so happens that you are all interested in pottery, so I will teach it together." ”

"Vulcan, can I too?" Ai'e was a little flattered.

"Just call me Hephaestus, I don't know, what kind of priesthood do you have on the mountain?"

"The sacred mountain that I went to with Russell is now the goddess of gardening."

"Gardening!?"

Hephaestus looked surprised, and his voice was a little louder.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, it's good......"

Hephaestus looked at Russell with a complicated face, and said sourly: "It seems that Athena and you have a really good relationship, if I remember correctly, 'gardening' is her authority." ”

Ai'e looked at Russell in surprise when she heard this, as far as she knew, Russell and Athena had a normal relationship.

"Hey, hey, low-key, Athena and I are not prepared to make a public announcement of this kind of thing."

Sniffing the scent of lemons in the air, Russell smiled and waved his hand, temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart.

……

The study of pottery was not as cumbersome as blacksmithing, at least for Russell, because he only learned to knead and sculpt, and by the way, he began to practice after learning the theoretical knowledge.

Without the blessing of the card, the process is extremely boring and long, but he is full of motivation and never complains.

In contrast, Ai'e is ingenious and has a positive attitude towards learning, and has been repeatedly used as a positive teaching material by Hephaestus.

I didn't realize the negative material, and after three days of study, I returned to the forging room.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Bang ————

A row of boxy, long, wide and high iron boxes were neatly placed, Russell looked solemn and began the last forging of the trip.

"Russell, what are you going to forge?"

Hephaestus looked at the thirteen chests in front of him, thoughtful.

"Twelve pieces of armor, which I named the Holy Clothing, were used by the messengers of the sun god to spread the light."

"Twelve! But there are thirteen chests here, huh? ”

"That's right, it's because of the number twelve that there are thirteen holy robes."

"Can you say it again, I didn't hear clearly."

Hephaestus looked confused, he couldn't solve this problem.

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, I'm going to do the forging at the same time this time, so I need your help."

Russell's secret path is rare and strange, and it is a reason that there are five of the four heavenly kings, and there are thirteen sets of holy clothes in the zodiac signs, which is very reasonable and logical.

Besides, is Ophiuchus an ornament?
