Chapter 390 Fire God Hephaestus
The so-called spatial nodes are relatively special fixed spatial coordinates in a world. Many spatial nodes are connected to each other, forming shortcuts and shortcuts in the spatial sense.
Lin Zhongtian connected the space in front with other space nodes, naturally forming a new space node.
The man in black robe hurriedly ran to the cab, and after verification, he walked out with a face full of shock.
"Captain, there are really...there are space nodes..."
"..."
Nuta swallowed and shouted: "Why don't you prepare for the space jump?"
The man in black robe responded quickly, turned around and ran towards the driving cab of the sailboat.
Not long after, the Shenxing sailboat floating in the sea of clouds suddenly shook.
The next moment, the space near the deck became distorted.
All the crew members on the sailboat hid in the magically protected cabin. Only Lin Zhongtian, who was exuding silver light and holding a baby in his arms, stood on the deck as if nothing had happened, admiring the gleaming space passages around him.
Soon, half a day passed, and the baby boy in his arms was a little hungry. Lin Zhongtian was too lazy to find a wet nurse for him, so he took some gray mist to feed him.
Although the baby boy has Amazon blood, he is only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
He only absorbed about a half of the gray mist, then he ate and drank enough and fell into a deep sleep.
Suddenly, the entire hull of the Shenxing sailboat shook again.
The surrounding space suddenly distorted, turning from a bright space passage into a vast white cloud.
Lin Zhongtian walked to the edge of the deck and looked down at the scenery below with interest.
Under the white clouds and mist, there is a huge mountain range stretching for hundreds of miles.
The top of the mountain is covered with white snow, connected into a sheet, like a long snow-white dragon.
But unfortunately, the snow-white dragon body that should have been continuous was cut off by a shocking dark red.
Lin Zhongtian took a closer look and found that it was a huge active volcano.
The entire mountain range is the base of this volcano. Dark red magma rains out from the mountain pass, and countless yellow gunpowder smoke sweeps and spreads, rolling down the mountain...
There is no doubt that this should be the volcano where the fire god Hephaestus lived in seclusion.
Unexpectedly, there was a space node in the place where he lived in seclusion.
No wonder the journey of the Shenxing sailboat can be reduced from one and a half months to half a day.
Lin Zhongtian looked at the volcano with great interest, and suddenly realized, isn't this Mount Etna?
The so-called Mount Etna is an active volcano located on the east coast of Sicily, Italy. It is also the highest volcano in Europe. Even though its specific height continues to change due to crustal activity, the peak altitude has always remained above 3,200 meters.
Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes on earth due to its location in the Mediterranean Ring of Fire.
Even in the 21st century, it still has not stopped.
From this perspective, Mount Etna is indeed very suitable for Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging.
Not to mention the hot environment of the volcano, Hephaestus's forging needs alone required an extremely luxurious forging room.
And in this era, what could be more suitable to be his forge and retreat than the largest active volcano in Europe?
Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but regret.
If he had known that Hephaestus lived here, why would he have waited for an opportunity?
Just use the exhaustive method to find the residence of Hephaestus, and then you can find him at the first volcano.
Lin Zhongtian sighed inwardly and turned to look at Nuta, the blond man who had just stepped onto the deck.
The flame pattern between Nuta's eyebrows glowed red, seeming to help him resist the cold wind and low temperature at high altitudes.
"Hephaestus lives here, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Nuta nodded hesitantly, then looked at the baby boy in Lin Zhongtian's arms: "Your Majesty, this baby boy..."
Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said calmly: "I'll find him a good family."
Nuta was slightly startled when he heard this, then sighed softly and said respectfully: "It is his honor to receive your kindness!"
Lin Zhongtian glanced at him in surprise, and then asked, "Are there any human gathering places nearby?"
Nuta shook his head and said: "Etna erupts several times a month and is extremely dangerous. The nearest human gathering place is also a hundred miles away."
As he said that, Nuta showed hesitation and couldn't help but test: "Your Majesty, if you are willing to believe me, why not leave this matter to me!"
Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "You?"
Nuta nodded and explained quickly: "After sending you to your destination, the Shenxing sailboat will return to the nearest human city to receive a batch of precious ores for my lord. I have many acquaintances in that city. I also know a kind-hearted couple who are infertile..."
Lin Zhongtian looked at him with interest, suddenly reached out and drew a symbol on the baby's belly, and handed it to Nuta with a smile.
"Then it's up to you."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Nutta carefully took the baby boy.
"Okay, you guys should return quickly!"
Lin Zhongtian waved his hand, jumped off the deck, and transformed into a beam of silver light shooting towards Mount Etna.
Soon, Lin Zhongtian came to the sky above the volcano, and billowing yellow smoke rose from the crater, lingering around Lin Zhongtian.
Lin Zhongtian was exuding silver light, using the space barrier to separate the yellow smoke, and then slowly fell into the crater.
Once inside the crater, the temperature of the air suddenly increased, and countless black-red magma boiled and bubbled at the bottom of the crater. The surrounding volcanic rock walls were inlaid with layers of spiral stairs, and were dotted with many blackened stone doors.
Lin Zhongtian glanced around and quickly locked on a door in the middle of the spiral stone steps.
It was a giant metal door that was two or three times larger than other stone doors. It was carved with murals. At a glance, it was probably about a god who stood in the volcano and magma, bringing fire and energy to everyone. Metal story.
...Well, it’s the Vulcan himself!
I didn’t expect this guy to be quite narcissistic!
Lin Zhongtian floated over with interest, stretched out his hand and pressed on the metal door.
With a slight exertion, dark red ripples appeared out of thin air, flowing endlessly on the surface of the metal gate like ripples on the water. In an instant, the force exerted by Lin Zhongtian on the surface of the gate was relieved.
Feeling his strength being removed by the dark red ripples, Lin Zhongtian looked surprised and stretched out his hand to push again.
Only this time, the force he exerted was ten times greater than before.
"Boom!"
Dark red ripples surged, and the entire volcano trembled under his power.
There was a messy sound behind the metal door, as if something rolled off the shelf and fell to the ground.
In order to prevent the entire volcano from being pushed down by him, Lin Zhongtian had no choice but to stop.
At this moment, another rush of footsteps came from behind the metal gate.
Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to call someone, the metal door in front of him suddenly opened.
A man with dark red skin and a strong build appeared at the door. After looking at Lin Zhongtian, he quickly turned around and silently pounced on the various ores rolling to the ground, his hands dancing as fast as afterimages. separate it.
"..."
Lin Zhongtian's mouth that he just opened closed again helplessly, and he turned to look at this person's appearance.
He is about two and a half meters tall, with a dark red complexion. His whole body is covered with tendon meat, and his arms are even more muscular. They are as thick as an ordinary man's waist and abdomen. He can be said to be a real man who can run horses with his arms and can run with his fists. Stand people.
Of course, the last two sentences are still questionable.
Because this guy's fists and arms are quite unusual. The skin from his fingers to his elbows are all made of lava inlaid with dark red gold threads. When he swings them, he emits powerful heat that is enough to make water vapor evaporate and boil.
There is no doubt that this guy must be the God of Fire Hephaestus himself!
Because the gods of Olympus in the DC universe are basically like this, they like to embody their strength and authority on their arms.
For example, Zeus, the King of Gods, has white lightning in his arms, which is almost the same as the lava arm of the man in front of him.
After confirming Hephaestus's identity, Lin Zhongtian turned his gaze to the surrounding walls.
Then he discovered that this place was actually a mineral storage room filled with various ores.
The walls on all sides of the storage room are covered with stone counters, on which are placed countless unknown precious minerals of gold, silver, black, cyan blue, and even dark red——
Or rather, that's how it should have been.
But at this moment, the cabinets and tables in the mineral storage room overturned, and countless precious ores fell to the ground, mixed together.
And Hephaestus just squatted in the middle of the minerals, constantly separating the mixed ores at extremely fast speeds.
There is no doubt that the culprit of all this is Lin Zhongtian who suddenly broke into Hephaestus' home.
Knowing that he was wrong, Lin Zhongtian coughed immediately, waved his hand gently, used the power of space to separate the ores, and gathered them together according to the color of the ores, floating in front of Hephaestus so that he could collect the ores faster.
Seeing this, Hephaestus paused in his movements, glanced at Lin Zhongtian with a pair of black eyes and red eyes, and then quickly put it away.
Lin Zhongtian coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect you to pile up minerals at the front door, so I accidentally..."
Before he finished speaking, the dark red giant who was collecting minerals suddenly stopped his movements, looked at him with an extremely resentful look, and then said in a faint tone: "I did not pile up minerals at the front door..."
"The main entrance is at the foot of the volcano, and this is my mineral room!"
