Chapter 4482 [Hammer of Argus]

"You actually stole the Hammer of Argus from the giants? I have to say, you are quite lucky with money." When Kolibuso heard that Xiang Nan had obtained the Hammer of Argus, she was very surprised.

"What is the use of the Hammer of Argus?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.

"The Hammer of Argus is a divine weapon of the giants. It can transform decay into magic, taking the essence and discarding the dross. Ordinary ore can be turned into concentrate by hitting it. A rotten sword can be sharpened again by hitting it a few times."

Kolibuso explained, "It is the artifact most coveted by craftsmen. Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, wanted to collect all three giant hammers, but unfortunately he only collected two in the end."

"So that's how it is. It seems like this is really a magical weapon." Xiang Nan was very surprised after hearing this.

He had taken so much ore from the Gill People, but he had only processed less than one-tenth of it. It would take at least one or two hundred years to process all of it.

After all, the Gills have been digging for thousands of years, and the pile is really like a small mountain. Amazon Island has only two smelting furnaces, and the output is limited.

Now that he has the Hammer of Argos, he no longer has to worry about not being able to refine all the ores. Moreover, with such a magical hammer, he will be able to forge weapons or make magic props more easily and with less effort.

"If you get tired of playing with it, you can give me the Hammer of Argus and I can help you exchange it with Hephaestus for another artifact." Colibuso added, "An artifact made according to your wishes and perfectly suited to you."

"I'll consider it." Xiang Nan nodded.

A tailor-made artifact is indeed worth considering. After all, although he has collected many artifacts, none of them are completely suitable for him.

He wanted a divine weapon that could protect his soul, because no matter how badly his body was injured, it could be restored. But once his soul was injured, it would be troublesome. If he could exchange for such a divine weapon, it would be really great.

But then again, it is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. With the Hammer of Argus, he can make high-quality weapons and magic items by himself, which is worse than a magic weapon.

So Xiang Nan has not made up his mind whether to change or not. Even if he wants to change, he has to finish refining the batch of ore on the Amazon Island first.

……

After successfully rescuing the mermaid from the sea giant, Xiang Nan also received more respect from the Mermaid Kingdom.

This respect comes from the heart, and is not completely forced by authoritarianism like that of the Blue Tailed Mermaid and the Regent Tonga.

Therefore, Xiang Nan's status in the Mermaid Kingdom is second only to Poseidon, the god of the sea, and Colypusso, the goddess of the sea. He is the rightful number one person under God.

This made the mermaids fall in love with him and adore him, and Xiang Nan won many hearts.

Afterwards, Xiang Nan brought the Hammer of Argus to the Amazon Island.

With the help of the Hammer of Argus, smelting metal has indeed become much easier.

Previously, copper ores, gold ores, silver ores, zinc ores, tin ores, etc., required multiple smelting and forging processes to eliminate the impurities in them.

But now, with just a few knocks, the ores will be automatically refined into extremely high-purity copper ingots, gold ingots, silver ingots, etc. It can be said to be extremely convenient and greatly speeds up the processing speed.

This surprised the Amazon Queen Alekado.

"Where did you get this artifact? It's really amazing." She said in admiration.

"It's a secret, don't let it out." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "Anyway, with it, it will be much easier to smelt ore in the future."

Alek nodded. …

For a period of time that followed, Xiang Nan continued his academic research, studying the treasures taken out from the lost Mayan temple.

The lost Mayan temples contain not only various gold and silver objects, but also many magical objects.

For example, the statue of Ischal, the goddess of fertility, can not only bless the tribesmen with a smooth pregnancy, but also bless them with a smooth delivery.

For the ancients, childbirth and reproduction were one of the most urgent needs. No matter whether they were poor or rich, common people or high-ranking officials, they all hoped to have more children and bring more blessings.

Therefore, in ancient China, gods in charge of fertility, such as Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth, and Taishan Grandma, were particularly popular among the people.

The same is true in the East and the West. The Greek goddess of fertility Artemis, the Roman goddess of fertility Diana, the ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility Isis, the ancient Indian goddess of fertility Parvati, etc., are also very popular gods among the people.

In Mayan civilization, Ischal is their fertility god. He is also the wife of the sky god Istmunna, as well as the moon goddess and the goddess of textiles.

Another example is the statue of the panther god Haraz. Once the prayer on the statue is read, it can turn into a black jaguar. Not only does it have lightning speed, it also has the ability to be invisible in the dark, and can kill any invading enemy without anyone noticing.

The Mayans believed in polytheism. In addition to the gods of sky, rain, death, sun, feathered serpent, etc., they also believed that all things have spirits, just like voodoo.

They also worship the fierce animals in nature, such as coyotes, foxes, mountain eagles, crows, mountain lions, jaguars, grizzly bears, etc.

Among them, the leopard god Haraz has the most believers and is known as the patron saint of the Mayan Empire, representing speed, stealth and courage.

Another example is the Shaman Totem, which can summon the power of nature spirits, such as wind, fire, water, earth, lightning, and so on.

The Mayans believed in polytheism, and the spirits of nature were also their main object of faith. Shamans could communicate with the spirits of nature to predict the future, pray for disasters, call the wind and rain, and cure diseases.

Therefore, in the Mayan clan, the shaman's status is second only to the patriarch, and in the entire kingdom it is second only to the emperor. He is equivalent to a national teacher or a bishop.

This shaman totem is the relic of the Mayan high priest. Through it, one can summon the spirits of nature and use the power of the spirits of nature to summon strong winds, flames, torrents, earthquakes, thunderbolts, etc. It can be said to be quite powerful.

……

Of course, what Xiang Nan cared more about was the crystal skull.

According to Colibuso, it is a relic from the last era and contains the knowledge of the last era.

In Xiang Nan's opinion, it should be something like a disk or a hard drive.

So Xiang Nan really wanted to know what kind of incredible knowledge was hidden in it.

So Xiang Nan decided to read it.

But before officially reading it, he first took out the sarcophagus containing the Aztec gold coins, then opened the coffin lid and took out one of the gold coins.

Instantly, Xiang Nan felt a chill all over his body, and then he vaguely saw Quetzalcoatl again. However, after four years, the feeling Quetzalcoatl gave him seemed to be weaker.

"Save me..." He clearly heard a faint voice in his ears.
