With Hephaestus's intervention, Loki finally let go of Hestia, and Hestia, realizing she couldn't win, hid in the corner, looking at Loki as if she were a sworn enemy.
Loki tried her best not to look at Hestia. She was afraid that if she did, she would lose her composure. After all,
that was something she could only dream of.
"Welcome to Earth, Fi-Fi."
After forcing herself to calm down, Loki, as a half-host, welcomed Hephaestus.
Hephaestus nodded. "Is this world called Earth?"
"To be precise, the ground we're standing on is called Earth. Besides Earth, there's a vast and endless universe with too many mysteries and unknowns. Unfortunately, neither humans nor us gods can fully explore it."
Loki sighed, a little helpless. Although the gods were powerful, they were too small compared to the vast, endless universe.
She could reach the moon and even Mars without any tools. She could even reach Neptune, the farthest planet from Earth in the solar system, with some effort, but even so, she couldn't leave the solar system.
No, to be precise, she could, but she might get lost and drift through the universe. Although the vacuum of space wouldn't kill her, she couldn't stand being alone in the silent universe for decades, centuries, or even millennia.
She would probably take her own life.
Hephaestus said, "Can you tell me some basic information about this world?"
"No problem." Loki used her divine power to create a glowing orb containing her knowledge and tossed it to Hephaestus.
Hephaestus touched the orb with her finger and absorbed the knowledge. In a few seconds, she knew as much about Earth as Loki did, and even more than Emiya.
Hephaestus then unsealed her divine power and created another orb, which she gave to Hestia. Loki didn't say
anything.
Hestia also touched the orb and quickly became an expert on Earth. Emiya watched in envy. The gods were so convenient.
Hephaestus said, "This is indeed an interesting world. I also know about the cell phone now, but it won't be easy to modify this world's cell phone to be used in Orario. To be honest, it's very difficult for Orario's current technology to produce a cell phone."
In her opinion, Orario couldn't produce many of the precision instruments needed.
Emiya asked, "Even you, a god, can't do it?"
"I could, but to do so, I'd have to unseal my divine power, and a god whose power has been sealed can't produce these instruments in Orario." Hephaestus said with a headache.
Loki's eyes widened. "What? What? Fi-Fi, you're going to make a cell phone in Orario? I'm 100% for it!"
If she could chat on the internet in Orario, she'd be so happy. She wouldn't mind staying in Orario forever.
"I told you, to make these things, I'd have to unseal my divine power, and if I do that, I have to go back to the God Realm according to our agreement." Hephaestus said, annoyed.
Emiya said, "You can make these instruments in this world, and then take them back to Orario. That way, no one can say you broke the rules, right?"
Hephaestus nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm, if we do it that way, it wouldn't count as breaking the rules."
"That's great! I'll help too!" Loki cheered.
Hephaestus didn't refuse. Although she was the goddess of blacksmithing, it would save a lot of trouble if another god was willing to help. "All right, Hestia, you
come help too."
"I know," Hestia said. After learning what a cell phone could do, she was also curious. She didn't refuse Hephaestus's invitation and agreed readily.
Hephaestus looked at Emiya and said, "When are you going to give me the cell phone manufacturing technology?"
Emiya said, "I've already asked Erina Nakiri to prepare it. In a dozen hours, we'll go to the Food Wars! world, and she'll give you the items then."
"Okay." Hephaestus wasn't too anxious. A dozen hours was nothing to a god who had lived for hundreds of millions of years. It was over in the blink of an eye.
Before that, Hephaestus asked Emiya what kind of Divine Item he wanted. There were many types of Divine Items that could make one's mind more active and enhance mental power.
The most common was a magic wand, which was the first choice for many mages in Orario.
Riveria Ljos Alf, the strongest mage in the city, used a
magic wand. This item not only increased the power of a magic spell but could also be used as a weapon in close combat, making it very convenient to wield.
If he didn't like a magic wand, he could have it made into
a bracelet, a necklace, or even earrings.
After hearing Hephaestus's explanation, Emiya thought about it and asked tentatively, "Can it be a ring?"
A ring was light, easy to carry, and didn't take up much space.
Hephaestus didn't refuse. "It's a little troublesome, but it's not a problem."
"Thank you very much, Goddess Hephaestus," Emiya said, grateful.
"I see. So, Fi-Fi, you're making a weapon for this kid? Is it a Divine Item?" Loki asked.
"That's right." Hephaestus didn't hide it.
Loki laughed exaggeratedly and patted Emiya on the shoulder. "You're a lucky guy! The Divine Items that Fi-Fi makes are top-notch in the God Realm. Even the gods want them! If the other gods knew you had a Divine Item, they'd probably go crazy with jealousy."
Emiya thought about it.
Loki's words seemed like praise for his good luck, but she was actually warning him not to show off his Divine Item, or something bad might happen.
If even the gods were jealous, what would other adventurers do when they found out Emiya had a Divine Item?
They would stop at nothing to get it. People will die for money, and birds will die for food. This was an eternal truth.
