The advantage of having a mechanic by your side is that no matter when and where he is, he can always make some unexpected gadgets on the spot to help the team solve imminent minor problems.
For example, when people can't find north because they can't see the sun and moon.
Qi Zhen had done her homework before entering the game, and naturally knew that the team's ultimate goal was Mount Olympus, the highest peak in Greece with an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters. Naturally, she also knew that this mountain range was located in the Thermai Gulf of the Aegean Sea. The North Shore is the entire northeastern side of Greece.
So no matter where everyone is in Greece now, if they can't find out where Mount Olympus is, they can only use the stupidest method, first go east, and then go north after reaching the seaside.
Making a compass couldn't be easier for Liang Sicheng. Even Wang Jianguo, with so many years of experience as a soldier, can make something pretty much the same with the tools he has at hand, but it will definitely be much simpler than what Liang Sicheng made. .
Soon, a gadget the size of a pocket watch appeared in front of everyone under the assembly of Liang Sicheng. Not to mention, it was quite exquisitely made.
"Kid, did you come with your talent or did you get it with points?" Wang Jianguo weighed the compass in his hand and liked it a little.
Although more advanced GPS systems have long been used in modern warfare, for soldiers, compasses are as necessary as maps. Seeing such a well-made thing appear in front of him, he still Some can’t put it down.
"If my talent can only teach me to be a compass, wouldn't it be a waste?" Liang Sicheng glanced at him sideways.
Qi Zhen took out food and water from the human race bag, and the group ate hastily and continued on their way.
"I regret not being able to unscrew that guy's head and use it as a flashlight." Not long after the group set out on the road, Wang Jianguo couldn't stop talking.
"It's so bloody, we can't imitate Kui Baldy. Besides, when Kui Ye killed Helios, if a Titan hadn't helped to crush his Sun Chariot, I'm afraid the God of War wouldn't have been able to do anything to him. It’s not easy to defeat the opponent without reducing the number of troops,” Qi Zhen replied.
"It's a pity that Lin Shuai is not here, and Sun Jie is also recovering from her injuries. There are only two or three big cats and kittens like us left. The road down there is not going to be easy." Wang Jianguo sighed.
"Old Wangtou, what you said is not like you. When you and Zaka took Shanshan to Luoyang City, weren't you very high-spirited?" Liang Sicheng said.
"Can it be the same? Luoyang is full of people, and Mount Olympus is full of gods." Wang Jianguo said angrily.
"Old Wangtou is right, the road ahead will be difficult." Zaka suddenly interrupted.
"Let's take it one step at a time." Qi Zhen also sighed with a solemn expression.
Ever since Hermes was killed by Lin Biao, the entire earth has been shrouded in a plague. Without the control of the god of plague, all life has begun to wither. Until now, no one has seen a single one. Among the living mammals, there are quite a few flies.
Compared with the death of Hermes, it is obvious that the death of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, made the already dead land even worse. Although the goddess of agriculture is only in charge of the growth of crops in name, ordinary humans on the plains It is true that the main crops planted are still grain and fruit trees, so when everyone looked up, they saw a desolate wasteland.
It's not like the human world, but more like the underworld.
Although the sun god was dead, the moonlight and starlight were accompanying them when walking in the wasteland, and there was still a lingering trace of the sun in the western sky. Everyone did not have to worry about their sight being blocked. Even so, they were not moving very fast, mainly because of Nuolan. Ordinary people followed the team at the back and couldn't move faster even if they wanted to.
After walking for about two hours, the distant sky was still glowing with orange color. Qi Zhen knew that Helios' death still had a great impact on the world.
The sun without its chariot cannot move on its own.
It seems that the scene in front of everyone in the team will be like this apocalyptic scene before they leave.
Everyone continued to move forward, but a building blocked their way.
The sound of banging metal collisions continued to reach everyone's ears, making people's ears numb.
It can be so deafening from such a long distance, which shows how powerful this force is.
This sound was somewhat familiar to everyone in the team, it was very similar to the sound of a sledgehammer hitting an anvil when forging a weapon.
Everyone looked at each other, looked at the slightly crude building in front of them, and cheered up again.
As the footsteps approached, the surrounding temperature became higher and higher.
As if sensing someone approaching, the sound of blacksmithing suddenly disappeared, and then an ugly-looking man walked out of it.
His upper body was naked, and his strong muscles outlined the perfect lines of his body. No matter who he was, he could see the powerful power contained in it at a glance.
It's just that this man has some disabilities and is a lame. He limped out of the blacksmith shop, which completely destroyed the beauty of his body.
Of course, it was not just his lameness that ruined the beauty of his body, but also his ugly face.
Even Wang Jianguo, who is the least sensitive about looks, has to admit that this man's appearance is too ugly.
"There's no room in the house, let's talk outside."
The man spoke in an angry voice, wiped the dirty hem of his beige clothes with his hand, and spoke casually.
"Okay." Qi Zhen nodded.
There are no seats here, so stand.
"I am Hephaestus, the master of fire and forging." His temper is obviously very consistent with the priesthood he is responsible for, and he is straightforward.
"Do you know who we are?" Qi Zhen asked.
"You are now famous among the gods of Olympus. Even I, an unknown blacksmith, would have a hard time not knowing you."
Hephaestus clapped his fingers and read the names one by one: "Cronos, Ares, Hermes, Hades, Persephone, Demeter, Helios, tusk. Tsk tsk, that old guy Zeus is about to explode."
As he spoke, his tone was full of gloating.
"You don't plan to fight us?" Qi Zhen asked doubtfully.
"I can't beat you, and even if I can, I don't want to." Hephaestus said, "You killed Ares, and I thank you before it was too late."
"Since we don't want to fight, we are friends. As a casting god, can you give us something good?" Wang Jianguo asked.
"You have so many artifacts in your hands, why do you still need me to give them to you?" He glanced at Wang Jianguo.
Eyes, said angrily.
"Who can have too much of a good thing?" Wang Jianguo said.
"But I can indeed give you some pointers, which can be considered helpful." Hephaestus said.
Then he pointed at Liang Sicheng and said, "Come in with me."
Before Liang Sicheng could react, Qi Zhen was already overjoyed.
Liang Sicheng's profession is a machinist. Tracing back to his roots, he is also inseparable from the processes of forging and manufacturing. Wouldn't it be profitable to be guided by the ancestors of this industry?
Qi Zhen motioned for him to follow him in quickly. Liang Sicheng still didn't react, so he followed Hephaestus into his blacksmith shop. When he came out after a while, his face was full of surprise.
"Thank you God of Fire for your guidance." Qi Zhen said sincerely.
"Don't thank me, I have something to ask of you." Hephaestus waved his hand.
Sure enough, there is no such thing as a free lunch, so Qi Zhen knew that the God of Forging had something to entrust him with.
"You don't need to think too complicatedly. I am a very straightforward god. I am different from those guys on Mount Olympus, so everything you have encountered before has nothing to do with me." He did not He spoke his request first but spoke first.
Qi Zhen suddenly realized that after the Battle of the Acropolis in Athens, he and Lin Zhu had suspected that Hephaestus had played some disgraceful role, but now it seemed that they were overly concerned.
"Although my daughter Pandora was made by me, her birth was a mistake. I also knew that one day would come sooner or later, but this does not prevent me from loving my daughter, even if she is loved by thousands of people. One body, but I know that except for me and Athena, everyone's love for her is just an attempt to take revenge on mankind." Hephaestus's eyes were filled with anger.
"So I don't have any love for the gods. Even if I hadn't trapped my mother on the throne, they wouldn't have let me become this god of the forge."
"From this perspective, I support you from the bottom of my heart in overthrowing Zeus from the throne of Olympus."
"Having said so much, my request is also very simple. First, please kill those hypocritical gods. What really took away my daughter's life was not Prometheus who stole the fire, but these ruthless people. God, I want to avenge my daughter, but I don’t have the ability myself, so I can only rely on you.”
"Second, if it is not a last resort, please let go of my wife Aphrodite. She may have made a mistake marrying me, but she can't help herself either. She is so beautiful that all the male gods are willing to do it for her. Killing each other, no matter what, she’s still my wife.”
Speaking of this, Hephaestus had a hint of bitterness on his face.
Wang Jianguo actually felt pity for the god of forging. He had countless cuckolds on his head, but he could still think about the other person. It was hard for him to judge others. This god of fire really loved her.
"Third, if possible, let Queen Hera die with dignity. Although she was a mean woman, even though she did many things that I cannot forgive, and even broke my leg because she disliked my ugliness, But no matter what, she is still my mother. I can't love her, or even hate her, but I don't want her to suffer too much."
Vulcan bit his lip tightly, and a trickle of blood slowly flowed down.
