I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Heart of Molten Fire,

Puer Waters looked at Lis, somewhat curious.

As the demigod guardian of the Dwarf Clan's sanctuary [Heart of Molten Fire], he was naturally the strongest here.

Therefore, before Lis arrived, Lian Del had already informed him of Lis's situation.

For someone with such a unique talent, Puer was clearly aware of Lis's importance to the Dwarf Clan.

Moreover, he was going to preside over the divine power baptism of Sarmekhal for Lis.

After sensing the new team entering the Heart of Molten Fire, Puer specifically came to observe the Lis standing before him.

For some reason, when he saw Lis, Puer always felt a somewhat familiar feeling from this young dwarf in front of him.

However, whether in appearance or aura, Puer was certain he had never seen this Lis before.

This was quite odd.

After some brief thought, Puer didn't dwell much on it.

Perhaps it was because of the Holy Artifact [Eternal Brew] the kid had on him?

As a demigod of the Dwarf Clan, Puer had once used this Holy Artifact.

The Holy Artifact [Eternal Brew] was the most "valued" Holy Artifact among the Dwarf Clan's top powerhouses.

The reason was nothing other than the fact that the taste of the brew inside [Eternal Brew] was simply too good, not at all on the same level as the brew made by the dwarves themselves.

For dwarves who loved alcohol as much as life itself, [Eternal Brew] was practically the most practical Holy Artifact.

In fact, [Eternal Brew] was also the most frequently used Holy Artifact of the Dwarf Clan.

Every year at the year-end celebration, [Eternal Brew] was used to produce alcohol that was mixed with the drinks used in the celebration.

Even though it cost a considerable price, neither the Dwarf Royal Court nor the temple had any objection to it.

Unexpectedly, the temple and the Royal Court actually allowed Lis to carry this Holy Artifact, which clearly showed how much they valued him.

Well...

Even the War God's Priest was arranged to follow behind Lis, making it nearly impossible for him to encounter any life-threatening dangers within the Dwarf Kingdom.

The War God's Priest was a faithful follower of the Dwarf Gods Moradin.

Like the War God Caris worshipped by the War God Church, the Dwarf Main God Moradin also had the War Divine Position.

He would bestow great power, choosing his loyal followers to become War God's Priests, strengthening their strength.

After receiving Moradin's gift, the War God's Priests all possessed legendary-level strength, which was also the foundation strength of the Dwarf Temple.

Of course, after receiving Moradin's gift and becoming a War God's Priest, while possessing great strength and a long, enduring life, it also meant that strength would stagnate and could no longer improve.

Therefore, those who chose to become War God's Priests were all dwarven believers whose potential had been exhausted and who couldn't break through to legendary status.

Moreover, the War God's Priests were absolutely loyal to the Dwarf Gods and absolutely obeyed the orders of the Dwarf Temple.

This was also the core strength most trusted by the Dwarf Archbishop.

However, because forcibly elevating followers to legendary level consumed a large amount of divine power, even the Dwarf Temple didn't have many War God's Priests.

These War God's Priests were basically stationed at various important locations within the Dwarf Clan, such as the Dwarf Temple and the Royal Palace.

[Heart of Molten Fire] did not have War God's Priests assigned because of Puer's presence.

Upon noticing the War God's Priests, Puer understood that they were assigned by the temple as bodyguards for Lis.

Looks like I can relax a bit.

After the incident with the Day Elf intruding into [Heart of Molten Fire], even though the post-incident inventory showed no losses, it made Puer feel somewhat embarrassed.

For this reason, he had thoroughly checked the entire Sotiga Volcano area.

The defensive arrangements of [Heart of Molten Fire] were also rearranged.

Under these circumstances, any attempt to sneak into [Heart of Molten Fire] had become significantly more difficult.

Recently, he felt there shouldn't be any further issues, so Puer was slightly relieved.

With nothing much to do, Puer turned his attention to Lis.

...

After the introduction from the Dwarf Guard Leader, Lis wandered around in [Heart of Molten Fire].

However, what made him feel a bit helpless was the faint sense that a gaze was on him.

No matter where he went, this feeling of being watched never disappeared, bringing him some pressure.

No need to guess, Lis already knew who this person taking interest in him was.

The dwarf demigod guarding the [Heart of Molten Fire]!

Besides him, no one else in [Heart of Molten Fire] could possibly conceal themselves from Lis's perception.

Lis had roughly sensed that besides the legendary who had been protecting him all the way, there were two other legendary auras in [Heart of Molten Fire].

Moreover, the strength of these two legendary auras was relatively ordinary, likely like the Iron Hammer Workshop Master, [Hundred Forged Hand] Patterson, both of whom were dwarven legends focused on crafting.

With their power, it was impossible to evade Lis's perception.

Is this big shot too idle from staying too long in [Heart of Molten Fire]?

Lis felt a bit helpless, yet his expression remained unchanged.

Since entering [Heart of Molten Fire], this presence had not taken any action, indicating he had not figured out Lis's true identity.

That was already enough.

The remaining task was to find an opportunity to approach the molten pool at the core of [Heart of Molten Fire].

To retrieve that [Matteus's Magic Ring].

However, this had to be done step by step.

Since he hadn't been discovered, Lis had ample time to achieve this goal and wasn't in a hurry.

Having made up his mind, Lis found a vacant forge room nearby and started to try crafting weaponry.
