The so-called spatial node is a relatively special fixed spatial coordinate in the world. Many spatial nodes are interconnected, forming shortcuts and paths in the spatial sense.

Lin Zhongtian connected the space in front with other space nodes, naturally forming a new space node.

The man in black robe quickly ran to the cab, and after verification, he walked out with a shocked look on his face.

"Captain, there really is a space node..."

“…”

Nuta swallowed and said in a low voice: "Why don't you prepare for the space jump?"

The man in black robe quickly agreed and turned to run towards the sailboat's cabin.

Not long after, the magical sailboat floating in the sea of ​​clouds suddenly shook.

The next moment, the space near the deck began to distort.

All the crew members on the sailboat hid in the magic-protected cabins, except Lin Zhongtian, who was radiating silver light, holding a baby in his arms, standing on the deck as if nothing had happened, admiring the colorful space passage around him.

Soon, half a day passed and the baby boy in his arms was a little hungry. Lin Zhongtian was too lazy to find a wet nurse for him, so he gave him some gray fog to eat.

Although the baby boy has Amazon blood, he is only slightly stronger than ordinary people.

He absorbed only about a wisp and a half of gray mist, then felt full and fell into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, the entire hull of the Shenxing sailboat shook again.

The surrounding space suddenly distorted, and the colorful space channel turned into a white cloud.

Lin Zhongtian walked to the edge of the deck and looked down at the scenery below with interest.

Under the white clouds, there is a giant mountain range stretching for hundreds of miles.

The top of the peak is covered with snow, forming a long white dragon.

But unfortunately, the snow-white dragon body that was supposed to be continuous was now interrupted by a shocking dark red.

Lin Zhongtian took a closer look and discovered that it was actually an extremely huge active volcano.

The entire mountain range is the base of this volcano. Dark red magma rains of fire gushed out from the mountain pass, and countless yellow smoke spread and rolled down the mountain...

There is no doubt that this should be the volcano where the god of fire Hephaestus lived in seclusion.

I didn't expect that there was a space node in the place where he lived in seclusion.

No wonder the voyage of the Shenxing sailboat can be reduced from one and a half months to half a day.

Lin Zhongtian looked at the volcano with interest and suddenly discovered, isn’t this Mount Etna?

The so-called Mount Etna is an active volcano located on the east coast of Sicily, Italy. It is also the highest volcano in Europe. Even though its specific height is constantly changing due to crustal activity, the peak altitude always remains above 3,200 meters.

Mount Etna is located in the Mediterranean volcanic belt, making it one of the most active volcanoes on Earth.

Even in the 21st century it has not stopped.

From this perspective, Mount Etna is indeed very suitable for Hephaestus, the god of fire and forging.

Not to mention the hot environment of the volcano, Hephaestus's forging needs alone require an extremely luxurious forging room.

And in this era, what could be more suitable for his forge and retreat than the largest active volcano in Europe?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If he had known that Hephaestus lived here, he wouldn't have had to wait for an opportunity!

Simply use exhaustive search to find Hephaestus's residence, and then you will find him at the first volcano.

Lin Zhongtian sighed in his heart and turned to look at Nuta, the blond man who had just walked onto the deck.

The flame pattern between Nuta's eyebrows emitted a red light, as if helping him resist the cold wind and low temperature at high altitude.

"Hephaestus lives here, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Nuta nodded hesitantly, and then looked at the baby boy in Lin Zhongtian's arms: "Your Majesty, this baby boy..."

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said calmly, "I'll find him a good family."

Nuta was slightly startled when he heard this, then he sighed and said respectfully: "It is his honor to receive your kindness!"

Lin Zhongtian looked at him with some surprise, and then asked, "Is there any human gathering place nearby?"

Nutta shook her head and said, "Mount Etna erupts several times a month. It is extremely dangerous, and the nearest human settlement is a hundred miles away."

As he spoke, Nuta showed hesitation, and couldn't help but test: "Your Majesty, if you are willing to trust me, why not let me do this!"

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "You?"

Nuta nodded and explained quickly: "After sending you to your destination, the sailboat will return to the nearest human city to receive a batch of precious minerals for my master. I have many acquaintances in that city, and I also know a kind couple who are infertile..."

Lin Zhongtian looked at him with interest, suddenly reached out and drew a symbol on the baby's belly, then handed it to Nuta with a smile.

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Nuta carefully took the baby boy.

"Okay, let's return home!"

Lin Zhongtian waved his hand, jumped off the deck, and his body turned into a silver light and shot towards Mount Etna.

Soon, Lin Zhongtian arrived above the volcano. Billowing yellow smoke rose from the crater and lingered around Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian was emitting silver light all over his body. He used a space barrier to block the yellow smoke and then slowly fell into the crater.

Once you enter the crater, the temperature of the air suddenly rises. Countless black and red magma boils and bubbles at the bottom of the crater. The surrounding volcanic rock walls are inlaid with layers of spiral staircases, dotted with many charred stone doors.

Lin Zhongtian glanced around and quickly locked onto a big door in the middle of the spiral stone steps.

It was a huge metal door that was two or three times larger than the other stone doors. There were murals carved on it. A quick glance showed that they were probably telling the story of a god standing in a volcano and magma, bringing fire and metal to everyone.

...Yes, it is definitely the God of Fire himself!

I didn't expect this guy to be so narcissistic!

Lin Zhongtian floated over with interest and put his hand on the metal door.

With a slight application of force, dark red ripples appeared out of nowhere, flowing across the surface of the metal door like ripples on the water, instantly removing the force that Lin Zhongtian had applied to the surface of the door.

Feeling his power being taken away by the dark red ripples, Lin Zhongtian showed surprise and reached out to push again.

Only this time, the force he exerted was ten times greater than before.

“Boom!”

The dark red ripples were surging, and the entire volcano was shaking under his power.

There was a chaotic sound behind the metal door, as if something had rolled off the shelf and fell to the ground.

In order to prevent the entire volcano from being pushed down by him, Lin Zhongtian had no choice but to stop.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard from behind the metal door.

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and was about to call for help when the metal door in front of him suddenly opened.

A man with dark red skin and a sturdy build appeared at the door. After looking at Lin Zhongtian, he quickly turned around and silently pounced on the various minerals that had rolled on the ground, separating them with his hands at a speed that left afterimages.

“…”

Lin Zhongtian's mouth, which had just opened, closed again helplessly, and he turned to look at the man.

He was about two meters and five centimeters tall, with a dark red complexion, and his body was covered with muscular tendons. His arms were as muscular as the waist and abdomen of an ordinary man. It could be said that horses could run on his arms and people could stand on his fists.

Of course, the last two sentences are still questionable.

Because this guy's fists and arms are quite unusual, the skin from his fingers to his elbows is all lava inlaid with dark red gold threads, and when he swings them, he emits a powerful heat that is enough to evaporate and boil water vapor.

There is no doubt that this guy must be the god of fire Hephaestus himself!

Because the Olympian gods in the DC universe are basically of this nature, they like to embody their power and authority in their arms.

For example, Zeus, the king of gods, has arms that emit white electric light, which is almost the same as the lava arms of the man in front of him.

After confirming Hephaestus' identity, Lin Zhongtian turned his gaze to the surrounding walls.

Then he discovered that this was actually a mineral storage room filled with various ores.

The walls of the storage room were lined with stone counters, on which were placed countless unknown precious minerals in gold, silver, black, blue, and even dark red.

Or rather, that’s how it was supposed to be.

But at this moment, the cabinets and tables in the mineral storage room were overturned, and countless precious ores rolled to the ground and mixed together.

Hephaestus squatted in the center of the minerals, separating the mixed ores at a very fast speed.

There is no doubt that the culprit of all this is Lin Zhongtian who suddenly broke into Hephaestus's house.

Lin Zhongtian knew he was in the wrong, so he coughed and waved his hand gently. He used the power of space to separate the ores. He then gathered them together according to their colors and floated them in front of Hephaestus so that he could collect the ores faster.

Seeing this, Hephaestus paused, glanced at Lin Zhongtian with his pair of black eyes with red pupils, and then quickly packed up.

Lin Zhongtian coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect you to pile up minerals at the main entrance, so I was careless..."

Before he finished speaking, the dark red giant who was collecting the minerals suddenly stopped what he was doing, looked at him with an extremely resentful look, and then said in a faint voice: "I didn't pile up minerals at the front door..."

"The main entrance is at the foot of the volcano. This is my mineral room!"
