A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 630 Contest of Skills

Although the relationship between Leah, Seymour, Arya and others was considered close to the little black cat before, due to the language barrier, the communication between the two parties was often one-way, that is, Leah and others unilaterally communicated to the little black cat. The little black cat expresses intimacy, but the little black cat can only accept it passively or express its boredom with an attitude.

But most of the time, he wasn't tired of the closeness of Liya and others, but rather their excessive closeness.

Diana is different. The communication between her and the little black cat is two-way, that is to say, she is the first friend of the little black cat who actively admits instead of defaulting.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to understand the significance of this.

But Lin Yi knew that this had a very profound impact on the growth of the little black cat's character.

He brought the little black cat with him not only because he wanted it to be his thug, but also because he planned to take advantage of the opportunity of traveling around to cultivate its heart and patience.

After all, no matter how kind the little black cat behaves, it is still the vicious Qiongqi in its bones. There is still a long way to go before it can be cultivated into a divine beast with normal three views according to Lin Yi's expectation.

After leaving Paradise Island, Lin Yi took the little black cat and flew to the island where the believers of Hephaestus were.

This is a U-shaped island like a horseshoe. The middle part of the island is covered by dense green forests, with bare white sandy beaches on both sides. The U-shaped depression in the center is spacious and flat. With a little decoration, it will become a natural pier.

In fact, these people do the same.

They whittled the cut wood into planks, and repaired a wooden pier in the hollow with iron nails and hemp rope. Two large sailing ships with at most three masted docked quietly at the edge of the pier. There seemed to be some Humans in black are constantly busy.

A silver light flashed in Lin Yi's eyes, and after thinking for a while, he fell directly from the sky and landed on the three-masted galleon.

Since Lin Yi did not hide his figure, the men in black on the deck quickly spotted him. A blond man took off his hood, revealing a respectful face.

This man has sword eyebrows and star eyes, handsome facial features, and a flame-like red mark between his eyebrows. If you ignore the large red spot on the left side of his face, he must be a handsome man who was sought after by noble ladies in the Middle Ages.

But unfortunately, these irregular and ugly red spots completely ruined the coordination and beauty of the whole face.

Lin Yi looked at him calmly, his figure slowly fell on the deck under the awed eyes of the men in black, and the silver light in his eyes gradually faded at the same time.

"You are the messengers of Vulcan Hephaestus?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Lin Yi."

The handsome blond man's expression was very humble. He always lowered his eyebrows and kept squinting at the ground, as if he didn't dare to look at Lin Yi. Even his knees were slightly bent and he dared not straighten them.

Lin Yi frowned, a little unaccustomed to this person's overly humble attitude, but thinking that these people are also believers of the fire god Hephaestus, it is very likely that he was invited as a young man of one of the main gods of Olympus. No., so I didn't care about the respectful attitude of these men in black.

"Very well, it seems that I have found the wrong person..."

Lin Yi nodded, glanced calmly across the surrounding decks, and asked casually, "Do you have anything to say to me, Your Excellency Vulcan?"

"..."

The handsome blond man was slightly taken aback, but when he came back to his senses, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, his voice trembling, and he said profusely with sweat, "No...no..."

"...get up and talk!"

Lin Yi frowned slightly.

The blond-haired man was startled immediately, and quickly struggled to stand up from the ground, but his thighs were still trembling slightly. After he took a breath, he managed to speak, "Your Excellency, no..."

"..."

The muscles in the corners of Lin Yi's eyes twitched slightly, and he glanced at the blond man in front of him speechlessly. Unexpectedly, the blond man trembled again, his knees bent slightly and he almost fell to his knees.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi sighed in his heart, swallowed all the questions, then controlled the gravitational field to support the blond man, and said in a calm tone:

"Let's go, take me to see Lord Vulcan."

"……Yes!"

The handsome blond man bowed humbly as if he had been pardoned.

Putting away the gravitational field, Lin Yi turned his eyes, and saw the men in black kneeling in black without any surprise.

All the men in black fell on the ground tremblingly, their foreheads pressed against the ground, as if they were captured by the coercion released from Lin Yi's body, and they did not dare to take a breath.

But the problem is, he didn't release his coercion either!
Lin Yi frowned, glanced at the kneeling men in black around him, and then turned and walked towards the cabin without hesitation.

"Your Excellency, let the humble servant Nuta lead the way for you!"

The blond-haired man Nuta stepped forward quickly, walking beside Lin Yi with a humble expression.

After the figures of the two disappeared at the door of the cabin, the people in black on the deck heaved a sigh of relief, stood up from the ground one by one in silence, patted the dirt on their knees, and continued to work in silence.

Like a group of hard-working ants, they are tirelessly active at their workstations.

Industrious, silent, and dead.

"This Vulcan..."

Lin Yi looked at the deck outside the window with some confusion, loosened his fingers, and put down the curtain that had opened a gap.

He originally thought that these messengers were Vulcan's confidantes among humans, but he did not expect that they were actually a group of believers, or a group of believers who were actually slaves' appendages.

No wonder Hippolyta said that these people are not qualified to go to Paradise Island!

"I just don't know whose fault it is that they became like this..."

Lin Yi clicked his tongue twice, then turned and walked towards the exquisite and luxurious sofa in the cabin.

In front of the sofa, there is also a gold-inlaid quartz table. On the table is a suspended metal block that glows with a faint red light. It is covered with complicated and mysterious patterns. It's like a magical table lamp that glows red.

But Lin Yi didn't think it was just a desk lamp.

Because he already sensed the same breath as the mantra lasso and the guardian silver bracelet——

This is definitely something created by Vulcan Hephaestus himself!

Lin Yi picked up the rhombus-shaped metal base, and carefully looked at the suspended metal block in front of him.

This look, is a full half an hour...

Half an hour later, Lin Yi suddenly smiled slightly, stretched out his right hand flatly, and with a silver glow on his fingertips, he touched a certain node of the complicated pattern on the surface of the metal block.

In an instant, the silver lights submerged into it, turning into silver threads that quickly filled the patterns.

A burst of complex machine sound came from the suspended metal block, and then a small gap was suddenly opened from the top, and strands of fire light rose from the gap, forming a face of flames.

The strong pressure of divine power permeated, as if he wanted to give Lin Yi a blow.

But before Lin Yi could react, the little black cat on his shoulder stood up with cold eyes. Countless black mist rose from its small body, forming a black and blue pattern faintly, The strange appearance of the wings.

On one side is the fiery divine power, on the other side is the cold and dark mist.

Two types of coercion of different natures collided together, instantly arousing a small shock wave.

At this moment, Lin Yi stretched out a hand, and released the silver-white sword qi, which was far more powerful than the two, and lightly separated the two pressures, and by the way, also wiped out the shock wave that had not yet spread.

The silver glow flickered, and the coercion dissipated.

The huge flaming face floating in mid-air showed a look of obvious surprise, and the burning pupil couldn't help but look at the little black cat with cold eyes on Lin Yi's shoulder.

Lin Yi asked calmly:
"Are you Hephaestus, the god of fire?"

"it's me."

The buzzing sound came from the mouth of the giant flame face, as majestic and inviolable as Huang Zhong Dalu.

"Young god, your face is very strange, which god system's new god are you?"

"..."

Hearing Hephaestus' doubtful words, Lin Yi raised his eyebrows, and just when he was about to reply him with perfunctory Hippolyta's words, he suddenly heard him change the subject, and continued in an indifferent tone: " Forget it, it's not important!"

"The important thing is that you actually opened up the difficult problem I left you. From this point of view, if you are not very lucky, then you really have the level of forging skills to communicate with me!"

Although Hephaestus said so, but listening to his indifferent tone when he mentioned luck, he obviously didn't think that anyone could open the metal block he left behind by luck.

In fact it is.

The metal block itself is just a locked 'projection device'. The problem Hephaestus said is the complicated and mysterious patterns on its surface.

It is a new pattern composed of the inscriptions of the three artifacts, the Lasso of Mantra, the Shield of Divine Power and the Guardian Silver Bracelet. Three inscription patterns were re-stitched to unlock the projection device.

Obviously, the Amazons had already told Hephaestus about their stationing in the tower and researching Vulcan's creations, so he set up this difficult problem, wanting to consider Lin Yi's level of refining weapons.

But unexpectedly, it only took Lin Yi half an hour to completely untie it!
Even Hephaestus couldn't help but marvel at this speed.
