Wearing Pandora is swollen and broken [Greek mythology]

Hephaestus, son of Zeus, cousin of Epimetheus.Logically speaking, he should probably call Epimetheus "uncle".

However, now, Hephaestus stood in front of Epimetheus as the "future father-in-law".

Pan Duoduo also suddenly realized this problem... This generation is really messy... She thought with some embarrassment.

In fact, her worries were completely superfluous, such a chaotic seniority relationship is probably not surprising among the Greek gods.The various gods are often called by their respective names, showing equal respect to each other, and they don't pay too much attention to the fetters of blood and seniority.

For example, Athena and Prometheus are best friends, but Athena would never call Prometheus an uncle.In the same way, although Hephaestus is regarded as a father by Pan Duoduo, he and Epimetheus will still be called by their respective names.

"Hephaestus?" Epimetheus was puzzled, "Why did you come here?"

"I'll come over to see if Pandora is doing well." The red-haired Vulcan's tone was still a bit annoyed.

Epimetheus frowned, "Why did Dodo call you father?"

Hephaestus was a little unhappy when he heard his question, "I'm her creator, is there any problem with calling it that?"

Epimetheus fell into deep thought. He wondered, why don't other humans call his brother "Daddy"?According to this line of thinking, all human beings should be Diudiu's brothers?

Just as he was about to retort, the girl standing behind Hephaestus shook her head at him.

The long-term tacit understanding made Epimetheus shut his mouth obediently, and he immediately shook his head at Vulcan, who was staring at him with folded arms, expressing that he had no objection.

Hephaestus was satisfied with this.

"Father, let's go into the house first, you will be tired from carrying the rattan basket all the time." The girl thoughtfully said.

Hephaestus was very helpful, and after a little nod, he followed Pan Duoduo and walked towards the gate of the stone house.He has to carefully investigate what kind of place his work, which can run around, lives in, and whether it is suitable for her to live and maintain.

Epimetheus just watched this uninvited guest enter their house openly.

Aware of his little awkwardness, Pan Duoduo took his hand comfortingly, signaling to explain to him later.Miko, who was comforted by his lover, became obedient in an instant.He thought, although Hephaestus is the son of the annoying Zeus, and he looks quite annoying, but it is he who created Dodo with his own hands-creating his own treasures.For that alone, he was grateful to him from the bottom of his heart.

It's better to be nice to him.

After entering the house, Hephaestus put down the rattan basket and looked critically at the furnishings in the house.

Shabby, rough, ugly.

Compared with his own carefully built living palace, it is simply hard to catch the eye.

But when he looked carefully, his expression became a little complicated.

Everything here is not as gorgeous as his palace, but the details show the owner's intentions everywhere.Most of the furniture placed in the house is simple wooden furniture, which is cleaned and spotless; the table is covered with a clean burlap tablecloth, and there is a plain clay vase filled with fresh wild flowers on it, which can be smelled from a distance A light fragrance; neatly crafted wooden boxes are arranged in an orderly manner on the shelf, and there are bunches of insect repellent herbs hanging upside down next to it, and the color has been dried for a while...

There is a simple but warm atmosphere.Let the people in it feel very comfortable, so that people can believe that the owner of the house is living with his heart.

Hephaestus thought of his empty and deserted palace. Whenever he walked through the corridors filled with exquisite reliefs, the empty echoes of footsteps would echo around him.Apart from a few servants guarding the gate of the hall, there is no other shadow in the huge building.

Compared to that feeling, probably the raging fire in the studio is more lively.He likes the sound of forging hammers colliding with metal, and also likes the crackling sound of sparks cracking... When he is completely immersed in his forging world, his heart is the hottest.

The corners of Hephaestus' lips under the beard were slightly bent upwards.

...Maybe his "daughter" is not wrong. Although Epimetheus is stupid, stupid and incompetent, he still takes good care of her...

"Father, what are you thinking?" Pan Duoduo has always been very sensitive to emotional changes, and when she noticed that Vulcan seemed to be a little depressed for a moment, she asked quickly.

"It's nothing." Hephaestus returned to his previous appearance, he turned his head to look at Epimetheus, and reluctantly admitted, "It seems that Pandora did not lie to me, although you are a little useless as a god , but still taking good care of her."

Epimetheus nodded earnestly when he got the affirmation, "I am stupid, but I am willing to protect Dodo with my whole heart, she is my treasure."

The red-haired deity was startled when he heard such words, and his maroon eyes looked at the god in front of him in a daze.

It's so similar, just like him in the past, willing to give everything for the most cherished lover in his heart.

It seems that even self-abandonment is not hesitating.

The girl showed no signs of defending the idiot, but he knew that the idiot was indeed waiting for a response.

Be a lucky one.

"Okay," Hephaestus said suddenly, "Since you have promised so much, you must keep your promise. If one day you break this promise, then I will demand it from you as a witness." The price for breaking a promise."

"I won't give you a chance." The blond son snorted, not realizing that the other party's words were a binding oath.

Pan Duoduo was caught off guard by the confession in front of the "parents". She was a little shy, but she noticed the emotional change in Vulcan's tone.

——He probably thought of Aphrodite because of the scene in front of him, right?The entanglement between the few of them is really embarrassing...

It is obviously not suitable to show affection in front of a god who has been hurt by love. Doing so will be condemned by conscience... So Pan Duoduo sat next to Hephaestus, pulled his sleeve to change the subject, "Dad , Amy's cooking skills are very good, you can stay for dinner."

"Really?" Hephaestus looked at Epimetheus suspiciously upon hearing this.They didn't meet many times, and they didn't know each other well, but he vaguely heard that Prometheus's cooking was so delicious that it was a masterpiece...

Now that Epimetheus is good at cooking?He has reason to doubt the authenticity of these words...

"Really." Pan Duoduo assured.While tugging at the corner of this cheap father's clothes, she said, "Amy should have caught some good prey when she went out hunting today, which will definitely satisfy you. Speaking of which, I haven't had dinner with my father yet. Just Let him prepare dinner, and I'll show you around."

The little girl's voice was soft and coquettish, which really made Vulcan feel his hospitality.He nodded in agreement, thinking that it was just a bad meal, and it was not unbearable to satisfy the girl's little wish.

Seeing his young girl wandering around with that beard again, leaving him alone, Epimetheus felt a little aggrieved.However, when he thought that the other party was their benefactor, Shen Zi was relieved again, and decided to cook a big meal to thank the other party.

By the way, let him understand that he is the God who can take care of Dodo to the best!

At that time, Pan Duoduo was wandering around with his newly recognized cheap father, but he was thinking about how to keep this god for a few more days.

Yes, when facing the main god of Olympus at first, Pan Duoduo was completely trembling in her heart, but at this moment, she was already thinking about how to gain benefits from the place.

——It's true that this person is very capable, and just leaking some skills between her fingers can make her plan take a big step forward, Pan Duoduo couldn't help but be moved.She was planning to promote farming to humans, but she was worried that she did not have solid and durable agricultural tools.Coincidentally, the world's most powerful tool maker came to his door by himself, almost dozed off and met a pillow.

Although the risk is high, Pan Duoduo still wants to learn the method of smelting metal from the other party.The temptation to leap from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and even the Iron Age is too great, and this opportunity must not be let go...

Pan Duoduo secretly told herself to calm down and suppress those imminent thoughts.Zeus is absolutely not happy to see humans master the method of smelting metals... She has to make a good balance.

The most important thing is, how can this craftsman and the god of fire be willing to give her the method of smelting...

After getting along for a short time, Pan Duoduo also had a certain understanding of this cheap father's temperament. Although the other party acquiesced to his "daughter", he still didn't take her too seriously.

...However, the other party is not a hard-hearted man... In some moments, she saw some space where she could make progress.

Everything is possible isn't it?

"Sister, who is this bear with a big beard? Why are you with him?" The childish question interrupted Pan Duoduo's deeper and deeper smile.

She returned to her senses, lowered her head without changing her expression, and saw Xiao Douding appearing out of nowhere at some point, looking at the bearded male god with a strong and sturdy figure with both doubts and fear.

"Diudiu, this is my sister's creator and her father—Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen and fire." Pan Duoduo introduced, and according to his seniority, Deucalion might be called Hephaestus Brother, but I always feel...not suitable...

This terrible seniority.

Known as the bearded Vulcan: ...

He didn't think it was too offensive, after all, he couldn't care less about a child like a short winter melon.

"Is this the son of the Proseus family?" Hephaestus asked.

"Yes, his name is Deucalion, and he is a lovely boy."

Hephaestus looked at the child in front of him with a pair of maroon eyes. He was somewhat familiar with Prometheus, and he immediately realized that this child was a copy of that child...

"I'm not a brat!" The child who felt slighted angrily held his respect.

"Oh." Vulcan nodded in response.

Seeing him nodding and admitting that he was not a "little brat", Deucalion immediately ignored it generously, and instead asked suspiciously, "Why did you come here?"

"I came to see your sister on behalf of Olympus. Your sister calls me 'Daddy', can't I come?"

When Xiao Douding heard the name of Olympus, he immediately became angry, "Ah! You and that monster with wings on its head are in the same family! You evil guy!"

Hephaestus looked at Pan Duoduo with question marks all over his head.

"He's talking about Hermes." Pan Duoduo explained.

It was the first time that Youshen used such words to describe the self-proclaimed handsome Hermes, and Hephaestus couldn't help feeling amused.A monster with wings on its head, poof.

But the next moment he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Strange! Stay away from my sister Duoduo."

Hephaestus looked at the noisy child with teeth and claws, and then at the quiet little girl next to him, and suddenly felt that his daughter was better, she was well-behaved and considerate.

In comparison, the cub... is too noisy.

It's a bit unpleasant.
