Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 131 Don’t underestimate us blacksmiths

Fortunately, there were no major problems during this voyage.

There were no giant sea monsters, nor were there any particularly large storms.

Although we encountered some minor troubles, they did not cause any major setbacks.

Eros didn't even have to make a move before Cecrops dealt with all the pirates and subhumans.

If there are more demigods like this, it’s no wonder that the sub-human race will be in trouble.

The ship sailed north for more than ten days before finally reaching its destination, Eros.

When the island of Lemnos appeared at the end of the sea, Mount Ulkon on it was erupting violently.

Volcanic ash filled half the sky, the clouds and the mountains connected together, and thunder burst out in the darkness, illuminating the sky and the earth.

The red blood of the earth flowed along the mountains, emitting bursts of roars.

Combined with the sound of thunder, it was as if the God of Fire was constantly waving the forging hammer in his hand.

"Noble and powerful Hephaestus, tireless fire!"

"The spirits that shine in the fire, shine for mortals."

"Please calm the rage and madness of that tireless flame."

Witnessing this natural disaster-like scene, countless crew members immediately knelt on the deck and prayed in the direction of Mount Urken.

For human beings, only God can have such great power.

Even Cecrops, a demigod, was shocked by the scene before him.

Although she had seen storms at sea, she had never truly faced the abode of the gods.

There is no doubt that the legendary god of fire, the ancestor of craftsmen, Hephaestus, the son of Zeus and Hera, lived on this island.

Living on the top of the mountain where the wind is raging and the lightning is thundering.

This mighty divine power also affected the waves on the sea. Cecrops gripped the rudder tightly and moved towards the shore with difficulty.

Eros felt the fluctuations of divine power coming from Hephaestus on the island of Lemnos and couldn't help but be amazed.

None of the Twelve Olympians are good people.

Judging from the noise Hephaestus made when forging the forge, who would dare to believe that she was just a poor victim who was tricked?
Most people only remember her as the goddess of craftsmen and a blacksmith.

But don't forget that she is also the goddess of fire and the embodiment of the volcano.

In the Old Testament, Azazel is known as the "Mighty God" for his ability to completely destroy the wilderness and the ocean.

He represents the destruction of the world, the lake of fire in the Book of Revelation.

With this posture, Eros felt that Hephaestus could beat ten Ares now.

In the past, we should not look down on farmers, and now we should not look down on blacksmiths.

"Captain! We've reached shore safely!"

Thanks to the efforts of Cecrops and many crew members, the ship finally successfully docked.

At this time, the volcanic eruption had stopped and the island was no longer shaking.

"Very good, follow the old routine and prepare for supplies and protection."

Prometheus gave a few simple instructions.

For such a long voyage, of course all kinds of supplies must be prepared. Fortunately, there are humans on the island of Lemnos, and there are quite a few of them.

And it seemed that thanks to the presence of Hephaestus, they were not surprised at Prometheus's ship.

"Is this the island of Lemnos? I didn't expect there would be so many people."

Eros was a little surprised when he saw the port which was more prosperous than Delos.

After seeing the volcanic eruption just now, Eros thought that there might not be many living things on this island.

But when I got closer, I found that it was just the opposite.

Because of the volcanic ash emitted by the volcano, the vegetation on the island has become more lush, making their lives more prosperous.

However, the only drawback is that the people on this island have more brown skin, as if they often work by the fire.

Prometheus' narrowed eyes quickly swept through the crowd. At this moment, she was silently observing the living conditions of these humans in her mind.

"Do you really want to go and meet the God of Fire?"

Cecrops said to Eros.

"You have witnessed the divine power that shook the archipelago just now. If you are not careful when meeting a god, you may lose your life."

If you are lucky, you may receive a blessing or become an oracle when you meet the gods.

But if you are unlucky.
After sailing for such a period of time, Cecrops already knew the purpose of Eros's visit to Lemnos.

Although she had great trust in the prophet Prometheus, she still felt that doing so was too risky.

Especially after witnessing the violent eruption of the volcano just now, it seemed to confirm that the temper of this God of Fire was not gentle.

Even though Eros always wears a mask, his charm can still convince those around him.

With all the legendary characteristics combined, it is impossible for anyone to fail to develop a favorable impression of Eros after coming into contact with him.

Eros has a legendary buff when dealing with humans.

Against non-humans, Eros has a charm critical strike.

The main thing is to win them all with one hand.

But there are differences between the two. The former is more inclined to respect and admiration.

The latter is pure bitterness.

For some reason, Cecrops always felt an inexplicable respect for the wizard named Endymion.

So she didn't want Eros to encounter any accident.

"Don't worry, he is not such a simple person."

Prometheus smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have many places to go, this is just the first stop."

Eros was very calm. He raised his foot and prepared to walk directly towards Mount Vulcan, but was stopped by Prometheus.

"You're not planning on heading straight to the Vulcan's forge, are you?"

"When you visit someone, you should knock on the door first."

Prometheus said to Cecrops.

"I'll leave the boat to you. I'll take him with me."

After that, she led Eros in another direction.

The islands and human settlements at the feet of God are naturally different from other places.

Even though there is no royal power, theocracy is extremely deeply rooted.

People worshiped and believed in Hephaestus, who was located in a volcano, and had special priests and temples.

Eros went straight to Hephaestus without saying a word. According to Prometheus' understanding, there was a high probability that a conflict would occur.

After all, Hephaestus she.
"If you have something to do with her, be careful not to praise her, belittle her, or joke with her casually."

"If you think something is wrong with her, you have to pretend you didn't notice it, understand?"

Prometheus kindly reminded.

But she didn't tell the real reason.

She was afraid that after she said it, Eros would subconsciously pay attention to these places, thus angering Hephaestus.

"Now, let's go see the Oracle of Hephaestus and ask her to give us the first report."

Hephaestus was a solitary fellow, and only a few people were allowed to enter her workshop without notifying them in advance.

Besides Zeus, there were only Aphrodite and Athena.

Anyone else who trespassed into her workshop would inevitably incur her wrath.

When Prometheus brought Eros to the temple of Hephaestus.

In front of the magnificent temple, a fierce quarrel was taking place.

A man and a woman were arguing fiercely around an oracle decorated with gems in the middle. Did it seem like a normal quarrel between a couple?
The woman was complaining to the oracle about her husband not fulfilling his marital duties, and she vented all her energy on the woman outside.

The man argued with reason and even brought up the matter of Hephaestus' wife, Aphrodite, as a shield.

Even God’s wife can cheat on him, so he is just making the same mistake that God would make.

Hephaestus could forgive Aphrodite, so couldn't she forgive herself?
As a priest of Hephaestus, the Oracle could not say that his god's actions were wrong.

Eros muttered to himself.

I never thought that Hephaestus’s problems could spread to his own believers. Is it so outrageous?

The oracle took a lot of effort to persuade the couple to reconcile and leave temporarily.

"Ugh"

The oracle sighed and looked at Prometheus and Eros who had been waiting for a long time.

"Are you also a couple who quarrel over this kind of thing? Oh, really, why are there so many quarrels every day?"

Eros raised his eyebrows, and his expression under the mask was a little strange.

What do you mean by "also"? Is this thing really contagious?
Green hat virus? But shouldn't women wear it on men?

Without changing his expression because of the oracle's misunderstanding, Prometheus immediately walked forward and greeted the other party.

"Priest of the flame, honorable oracle, we are travelers from afar, and we want to meet the master of the flame."

"Huh? You're not a couple? And you didn't quarrel?"

The other party was obviously a little surprised, and then suddenly started talking to himself.

"Alas, now couples on the island quarrel more and more frequently. Men like to go to Thrace on the other side to find women."

"If this continues, what should we do? Is it true that the god of love has cursed the women of Lemnos?"

Eros' mouth twitched slightly as he spoke.

"If you have anything to say, please just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Now I'm in a bit of trouble. It seems that the goddess of love has cursed us women of Lemnos because we don't worship her."

"The men of Lemnos are no longer interested in women, and that makes it very difficult for me."

The Oracle said calmly.

"If you want to meet our God, you have to help me a little."

"I want to know if we are really cursed by the god of love, or if you can help me think of a solution to this problem."

What is the classic part of unclogging the toilet?
Eros was speechless. He stopped Prometheus who was about to agree and took a step forward.

"Do I really need to do this? I probably don't have the time right now."

"Of course, I can't do it for free."

The oracle got stuck in the middle of his words.

Because the Eros in front of her had taken off half of his mask, revealing half of his perfect face.

"I will go communicate with Lord Kagami now!"

　Lemnos, the first place the Argonauts arrived at after setting sail.

　　The woman above was cursed to have a smelly body because she did not believe in Aphrodite.

　　All the men went to Thrace to find women. Finally, the women couldn't bear it anymore and killed all the men and established a women's kingdom.

　　Then the Argonauts came, went into the city, had a wild life, and had a bunch of children.
