I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Heart of Molten Fire,

Lis noticed Puer's dwelling.

It seems that the other party has been living in the Heart of Molten Fire whenever there is nothing to do.

Before entering the Heart of Molten Fire, Lis imagined many possibilities.

After all, if he truly succeeds in entering the Heart of Molten Fire, his biggest obstacle to obtaining Matteus's Magic Ring would undoubtedly be this Demigod Puer.

As long as Puer is in the Heart of Molten Fire, sneaking into the core magma pool would be quite troublesome.

Even if he somehow gets Puer's permission, it would certainly attract his attention.

After all, entering the Heart of Molten Fire by showing unique talent brings convenience but also high attention.

No one wants Lis to have an accident; even Puer, being a demigod, is the same.

Therefore, if Lis wants to discreetly obtain that Matteus's Magic Ring, either he has to make Puer temporarily leave the Heart of Molten Fire, or Puer must temporarily be unable to monitor Lis's actions.

Both of these requirements are difficult to achieve.

After all, with Puer's demigod-level strength, it's virtually impossible for Lis to use force to make him comply.

So Lis must resort to cunning.

Fortunately, Lis has something that can make Puer temporarily unable to focus on his actions.

Lis did not hurry to look around, but said to Puer:

"Your Eminence Puer, I learned from Archbishop Liandrel that you are here, and there are many matters ahead that require your attention."

"I don't know how to thank you, nor what you like."

"So I brought some delicacies from Lonely Mountain City, hoping you will like them."

Upon hearing this, Puer was a bit surprised.

For all these years in the Heart of Molten Fire, it was the first time someone brought him food.

Although the Heart of Molten Fire is near Lonely Mountain City, Puer seldom returns to Lonely Mountain City due to responsibilities.

As a demigod, food is no longer a necessity for him.

However, Puer was pleased with Lis's good intentions.

Puer smiled and said to Lis:

"I didn't expect you, Little Lis, to prepare this; it's been a while since I had a good drink with someone."

With that, Puer invited Lis to his dwelling.

The rock walls, transformed by centuries of high temperatures, were dark red like coagulating blood, with fist-sized luminescent crystals embedded in the cracks, tinting the cave with a flickering amber hue.

The central arrangement of the cave was simple: a stone bed formed by hexagonal basalt columns and a table carved from a solid piece of obsidian.

What was truly astonishing were the displays around the cave walls. Precious mineral stones were casually placed in one corner of the room, while some equipment and weapons giving off powerful energy exuded a chilling aura.

"Come, sit!"

Puer cheerfully led Lis to the table to sit down, bringing out various delicacies from the storage ring and placing them on the table.

Being a demigod, Puer naturally lacked nothing to eat.

"Come, try my treasured collection."

After saying that, Puer placed an emerald green wine bottle in front of Lis.

Looking at the exquisite pattern on the wine bottle and smelling the fresh aroma, Lis felt somewhat familiar with this drink.

"You probably haven't tasted this wine before. Although it's a bit lacking in strength, the flavor is quite good."

"It's called Jade Dream, brewed by those long-eared ones."

"Although those long-eared ones are annoying, I do quite like the fruit wine they make."

Puer said to Lis with a smile.

Soon enough, the food and drinks he brought out filled the entire table.

Elf Clan's wine, he sure is familiar with!

Lis smiled as he sampled the Jade Dream, nodding slightly.

Back in the Elf Forest, when preparing gifts for Uncle Joyce, Lis collected various drinks from the Elf Clan.

Naturally, Lis was quite familiar with this Jade Dream wine.

"Indeed, the flavor is quite good."

Lis said with a smile and began taking things out as well.

First, he took out several specialty foods of Lonely Mountain City, then a wine bottle that looked somewhat special.

"Oh!"

Seeing the wine bottle Lis took out, Puer exclaimed in surprise:

"I forgot, the Eternal Brew is with you."

"What could compare with the wine in the Eternal Brew?"

Puer said with a smile, his eyes showing a hint of anticipation.

The wine in the Eternal Brew has the effect of slowly increasing physical strength for ordinary Extraordinary Professionals.

But for Puer, the wine already has no other effects.

However, purely the marvelous taste of the wine made Puer quite expectant.

After all, even as a demigod of the Dwarf Clan, he could not casually use the Holy Artifact Eternal Brew for personal enjoyment.

But now it's different,

The Eternal Brew was given to Lis by the temple and the royal court.

Inviting Puer for a little drink had absolutely no issues.

Lis poured Puer a drink from the Eternal Brew with a smile.

Puer lifted the cup, took a deep smell of the intoxicating aroma, and drank it in one gulp.

"Ha, refreshing!"

Puer exhaled, shouting boldly.

Lis hastily refilled Puer's cup.

In just a short while, Puer had drunk ten cups of the wine from the Eternal Brew.

Even as a demigod, Puer's face showed a hint of a red flush.

As a Holy Artifact, the wine in the Eternal Brew almost encompasses all the abilities of this Divine Artifact.

While the enhancement effect of the wine had no impact on Puer, its intoxicating effect was unavoidable.
