In the smithy of the imperial pce vio was shirtless, he was emptying aluminum on a sand mold, the red-hot aluminum emptiedpletely and vio was able to clean his sweat, when Alessio the son of Benicio, the cksmith of confidence of vio "Emperor we have the order of rubber brought from the Ol-li trees and the sulfur you requested."


    vio smiled "We are going to vulcanize the rubber, I need a stove and arge iron dish, also ask that they bring the wooden molds to be able to make a hard rubber tire and the hand molds."


    Alessio nodded and went to bring everything needed by the emperor, the objects he needed were brought by the gorgon maids as they were stronger than conventional servants.


    Alessio who was a 14-year-old boy fell in love with one of the Gorgons he was always seeing, this time was no exception, the gorgon was albino and her hair waspletely silver, while her eyes were red.


    The gorgon being a warrior trained by Poseidon in the arts of cleaning and killing has always noticed the look of the human child, does not understand why the little boy looks at her with such passion but does not bother him.


    The heavy objects were ced in the areas that vio requested and waited for new indications from vio "Very well, Alessio, you will learn to vulcanize the rubber so that in the future you can make some toys or special requests from the members of the imperial family, Gogonas wanted that Record the process and write down everything you see or do about the rubber process. "


    First, we heated the rubber in the iron pot, vio emptied a white liquid in the pan that looked like milk, it began to heat until it boiled, once it was boiling I put sulfur and began to move it.


    The mixture gradually began to integrate and when vio was empty ammonia integrated into the mixture that had a viscous consistency, the result was emptied into the rim molds.


    With the leftover mixture I use it to cover the molds of wooden hands and it was removing the excesses in the mold so that there were no bulges in the final result, these molds were hung in a ce protected from sunlight.


    When vio finished, a bucket of water was emptied over his body. "Very well, it is time to wait for the rubber to harden, note that the ammonia can be reced by kinds of vinegar or citric acid.


    This only for the rubber coagtion process, sulfur cannot be used in the process because it is vulcanization.


    The rubber must be obtained in the early morning of the tree, the white liquid of any substance is cast and stored in dishes where ammonia or citric acid is ced so that it hardens.


    If citric acid is used when the rubber coagtes and is squeezed into a press tool, the juice that can be used as a natural species repellent, but if ammonia is used, the result should be treated with care because it is a poisonous material.


    Once the rubber has been converted into tes, it is allowed to dry in the sun so that it does not rot, in this case, fresh and cast rubber was used for the vulcanization process but the process must be perfected.


    I want you to take the writings to Taneri and Admes, tell them that who can find the correct process of handling the rubber to have perfect dry vulcanization, can name the process with his name so that it is never forgotten. "


    At that time the Gorgons made the Roman greeting and withdrew, vio observed that Alessio stared at Acacia the Gorgona albino "Alessio are you in love with Acacia?"


    Alessio was afraid of the emperor’s question and in his trembling voice, he replied "If Emperor I am attracted to Acacia but I don’t dare to approach her or to invite her something.


    I don’t know if she likes something and I’m afraid that if I do it wrong I lose my chance to approach her. "


    vio approached Alessio and pped him on the back "You have more courage than much of the Praetorians like a Gorgon is some respect, I can help you to have a date with her.


    But you must remember that the final decision is from Acacia. "


    vio took a bag with Denarius out of his pants bag "This can be considered a gift, there is enough money for you to buy a good suit and a perfume.


    Remember that Gorgonas like women like gifts and jewelry, buy a gold or silver ne for the date.


    Do not worry about the money, while you work in the production of vulcanized rubber tires, you will receive a subsidy so that Acacia and you do notck anything.


    I consider this as a gift for your bravery, the Praetorians only look at them but they don’t have the eggs to admit that they like Gorgons and much less invite them on a date. "


    Alessio squeezed with his hands the bag of Denarius


    "Thank you, emperor, you swore that if I can make it my wife, name my first child as you or the empress."


    After this Alessio was running trying to reach Acacia to invite her out at night, vio thought for a moment trying to remember if the Gorgons eat children but did not believe that Acacia was able to do so.


    Before he left the ce at the bottom of the iron casserole, vio could see a small amount of leftover rubber so he took it with his hands and molded it into a small ball.


    To cool down as quickly as possible, I am looking for some praetorians who knew air magic, he did not have to search much since he found him patrolling the courtyard.


    The air cooling process was quite calm and ended in just a few minutes after the air spun the rubber ball.


    Once it was cold vio bounced it against the ground "Just as I remember the rubber balls, I guess I don’t lose anything if I y a little with the ball."


    vio headed towards a part of the pce wall that had a marble floor and the wall of the wall, with enough space he began throwing the ball against the wall and returning it using his hands.


    This was a game that he liked to y when he was a child in Mexico City, he went out with his friends and threw a ball against the wall to y, once they managed to break the mosaics of the wall of a Christian church because intense of the game.


    Many Praetorians saw the emperor ying very happily with a ball, which bounced off the wall at his hand and again bounces off the wall, it didn’t take long to gather some Praetorians around him who were willing to y as well.


    vio smiled and invited one of them to join in his game, the Praetorians began to cheer on the emperor who had a winning streak, Ares who was passing through the ce of the hand of the supreme priestess, heard the noise of the Cheers of the soldiers and went to check what was happening.


    What he found was vio shirtless winning in a game with a bouncing ball on the wall, this aroused thepetitive spirit of Ares and decided to join the game, just as vio took off his shirt and throne his neck.


    vio exined the rules of the game and threw the ball towards the wall starting the game of Squash with his hands.


    The game began quite calmly but little by little thepetitive spirit of vio and Ares was increasing the intensity of the game.


    Ares was the first who used his divine energy to hit the ball harder, this was answered by vio who also did the same.


    The cries of support of the soldiers sounded throughout the pce, little by little the curious ones began to arrive among them Quetzalcoatl with Yuma and Erendida, Hellena with Bastet and Mayahuel with Pilcoatl, there was also Huitzilopochtli who was curious to see the game.


    In the confrontation, the ball sometimes flew very high and vio or Ares had to jump to avoid losing the game, no matter if it was a woman or a man, seeing the intensity of the game made them release adrenaline and enjoy the game.


    In a very intelligent movement, Ares hit the ball at an angle that it would be impossible for vio to return the ball, but before he could sing victory vio jumped and reached to hit the ball, this at the cost of crashing with the wall and making a Gap.


    Ares failed to respond to vio’s ball for what is flying and with great force was stopped by Huitzilopochtli’s hand "I guess it’s my turn"


    The Cheers did not wait and vio came out of the hole in the wall with a piece of rod in his head that pulled him out with a single pull.


    He approached Ares and shook hands "Good game vio", "You almost beat me but I have to admit that I had so much fun with a game for a long time"


    Huitzilopochtli approached them two "Let’s continue with the game guys that I want to see if I can beat vio in his game"


    That day a new game was born in the empire known as chtlimaitl (Handball) or Squash, which proved to be quite popr among the soldiers and children of the empire ...
