[After all, it was she who personally agreed to keep you here. ]

[“That’s right.”]

[You smiled lightly and cheerfully, your eyes as warm as the sun, like a ray of insignificant light, penetrating into the eyes of Hephaestus that were always filled with resentment: "Look, if Sister Eucleia is really as you said, just a puppet without emotions, just a failure.................."]

[“Then why would she suddenly be so kind as to ask you to adopt me? Shouldn’t a puppet only obey the master’s orders and not have any unnecessary thoughts?”]

[Hephaestus opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but then closed it.]

【Facts speak louder than words.】

[Ocleya's original behavior was indeed inconsistent with the operating rules of the puppet. 】

[That is to say, she had already developed human emotions sixteen years ago.]

[“Sister Eucleia, Sister Ophime, Sister Eutenia, and Sister Philophorosyne, they have never been failures.”]

[“They have taken care of me for sixteen years. In my heart, the four sisters have long been my relatives.”]

[Beside the bonfire, the bright moonlight gently covers you with a layer of silver gauze. ]

[White Wolf Togo opens one eye and gently kicks you with his front paw.]

【What about me? Am I not your relative? 】

[Although it didn't say anything, you understood it. ]

[The white wolf, who is as big as an ox, sometimes acts like a child.]

[You smiled and stroked Togo's soft belly, making him look comfortable and happy.]

[“You are my savior, how could I forget you?”]

【After hearing this, Togo closed his eyes and dozed off again in satisfaction. 】

[A man, a wolf, and a goddess, leaning against each other harmoniously. Ou Feimo quietly took out a drawing board to record this beautiful moment.]

.................................................. ................

Hephaestus was convinced.

She is not stupid, but her eyes are blinded by hatred and anger.

If you stand too high, you can't see what's under your feet.

Change is always there.

But she had long been accustomed to it.

Now that I think about it, it turns out that change happens in every little detail in life.

When Ocleya was just born, he just memorized his orders coldly.

Later, she would take the initiative to record her daily schedule, what she liked to eat, and what she didn’t like to eat....................

How could a puppet without emotions who only follows orders take the initiative to do these things?

"I never changed them. You changed them. You gave them a heart."

Under Hephaestus' astonished gaze, Lin Yi boldly held her face and gently took off the mask made of gold.

The right half of the face is revealed, covered with flame patterns.

Ou Feimo, who was hiding in the dark, almost screamed out in surprise.

Hephaestus had two taboos, the first was his disabled leg, and the second was this half face.

Even the gods dare not remove her mask.

Lin Yi opened it without hesitation and stared at it for a long time.

Until Hephaestus's face became completely gloomy.

"Have you seen enough?"

The goddess gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sound like the roar of a wild beast from her throat.

Lin Yi's behavior touched the deepest scar in her heart!

It was because of this ugly face that she was thrown off Mount Olympus by Hera!

You must be disgusted by my ugliness just like them, right?

Hephaestus closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was only coldness in his eyes.

"Didn't see enough."

Facing a goddess who might suddenly attack and kill him at any time, Lin Yi did not waver at all. He asked in a steady tone, "The flame pattern does not affect your beauty. In my opinion, it adds a bit of unique beauty to you."

"Why cover it up? Such a beautiful face should be displayed openly for people to appreciate."

It turned out to be.................

truth?!

He didn't lie to me, but thought from the bottom of his heart that half of my face was beautiful?

Hephaestus' heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and then he angrily snatched the golden mask from Lin Yi's hand.

Disappeared by the river in an instant.

Only Lin Yi and the white wolf Togo were left looking at each other, and the four Ocleya sisters were staring at each other not far away.

Your Majesty Hephaestus (Master) This is ..........................

Are you shy!?

Chapter 8: We are the best brothers! (Please collect!)

[Your audacity made the four sisters and Togo's hearts jump to their throats. ]

[Fortunately, Hephaestus did not blame you, which made them feel relieved. ]

[They have long regarded you as an indispensable part of the temple, and do not want to see you offend the gods and be punished.]

[Okleya is like a nagging old woman, lecturing you for hours, and only leaves satisfied after getting your promise that you won't do it again next time.]

【The night gradually deepened. 】

[As usual, you lean on Togo for warmth, and not far away is a small campfire that brings you warmth and a good sleep. ]

[Without noticing, two graceful figures quietly appeared under the moonlight. ]

[Hephaestus, angry and humiliated, is back. ]

[Beside her, there is another goddess. ]

[She is also the only goddess who can be considered a good friend of hers—the goddess of wisdom, Athena. ]

[The two goddesses have similar fates. Athena was almost killed by Zeus before she was born.]

[Hephaestus was thrown off Mount Olympus by Hera. ]

【Therefore, the relationship between the two of them has always been pretty good. 】

[After confirming that you really wanted to become a great hero, Hephaestus, who only knew how to forge, immediately thought of asking Athena for help. ]

[God is not omnipotent either, at least Hephaestus thinks he is not. ]

[Everyone has their own expertise. When it comes to forging divine weapons, no one among the twelve main gods can compare with her. 】

[But when it comes to training heroes, Athena is definitely the best! ]

[After all, most of the Greek heroes are related to Athena. ]

[It can be said that he is a professional in cultivating heroes. 】

[“What a lovely child.”]

[Athena supported her knees with her hands, leaned down and looked at your childish face.]

[Her eyes were full of smiles and a bit of mischievous agility.]

[“After so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen someone dare to take off your mask.”]

[“Hephaestus, you don’t seem angry? Is it because this child praises you from the bottom of his heart?”]

[Like a joke between friends, Athena mercilessly exposed Hephaestus's little thoughts: "If it were me, I would definitely keep this child by my side. What's the good of being a hero? He is so fragile that I even doubt that a gust of wind can take his life. If he unfortunately dies, you will be sad, right?"]

【How could I be sad for a mortal? 】

[Hephaestus wanted to say that, but she just felt depressed when she thought about your absence in the temple.]

【Changes always happen unexpectedly. 】

【Sixteen years is very short.】

[For a god with an infinite lifespan, this is as insignificant as a nap.]

【Sixteen years is a long time.】

[It was long enough for me to watch you grow from a baby who couldn't talk yet to a bold teenager who took off his mask and praised his own beauty.]

【Hephaestus hesitated.】

[I started to doubt whether I should really support your idea? ]

【Do you doubt whether what Philophrosyne said is correct?】

[“You have really changed. If you were the old you, you wouldn’t care about the life or death of a mortal.”]

[After years of getting along, Athena knew Hephaestus' personality too well. Seeing her hesitation, she guessed what she was thinking.]

[She smiled, and the evil taste in her heart became stronger.]

[If Athena had come here only to save Hephaestus's face at the beginning, now she really wants to train you to become a hero. ]

[A mortal who can change gods sounds interesting, doesn't it? ]

[The bonfire is still burning, but the flames are getting smaller and smaller. ]

[Hephaestus said nothing, but just picked up the wood and added it.]

[Athena stopped talking and quietly accompanied Hephaestus to wait for dawn. ]

.................................................. ................

The first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the lush treetops and onto Lin Yi.

I opened my eyes dazedly and found that the bonfire that should have been extinguished was still burning.

Lin Yi smiled and gently patted the white wolf's forelimbs: "Brother Duo, did you add more firewood tonight? When did you become so careful?"

"Are you worried that I might catch a cold? Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. But...thank you anyway, my good brother."

Togo woke up and saw the bonfire still burning, and a hint of doubt flashed in his blue eyes.

Did I add it?

Did I sleepwalk at night?

White Wolf's brain, which was not very smart to begin with, went into a state of breakdown.

Forget it, since Zoe said I added it, then it must be me, right?

Even if I am sleepwalking, I will take good care of my good brother!

This is called loyalty!

Togo didn't think any more, raised his head and put on a proud attitude.

Accept the credit frankly.

Lin Yi touched its big furry head with amusement, then walked in the opposite direction of the temple.

This was agreed upon with Hephaestus last night.

From today on, he can finally leave Lemnos and embark on the path of becoming a hero!

With cheerful steps, Lin Yi and Togo walked towards the world outside the island.
