I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 516 [Samekhar's Bronze Ring] and [Mathäus's Magic Ring]

"what?"

Hearing the young man in front of him, who seemed to be a noble, saying with a smile that he wanted to buy his ring, Blair subconsciously took a step back.

"I mean this ring on your finger."

(*`)σ
Li Si pointed at the ring on Blair's hand again and said with a smile.

"My lord, this is just an ordinary ring, but it is very important to me."

Blair no longer cared about Heimalou who brought him here, and said reluctantly.

After hearing that Li Si wanted his ring, Blair's heart trembled violently, as if it was tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

This brass ring was his biggest secret, which he had always kept deep in his heart and had never revealed even to his closest people. Yet, it was unexpectedly pointed out by Li Si inadvertently.

The tone of his voice was as if it was a very normal thing.

Blair felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet and quickly spreading throughout his body, causing him to shiver involuntarily and feel cold all over.

However, Blair's many years of experience as a traveling businessman allowed him to quickly control his emotions and face Li Si calmly.

Blair knew that in the face of this sudden accident, the only way was to remain calm.

Although the man in front of him was young and it was hard to tell whether he was a professional or not, his aura and condition had suppressed Blair completely.

For some reason, Blair had no intention of running away. It seemed that he could only stand there obediently, facing Li Si in front of him.

"Sorry, this may be a bit sudden."

"Please sit down!"

Li Si pointed to the seat next to him and said to Blair with a smile.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Blair still sat down next to Li Si.

Li Si poured rye wine into the glass in front of Blair and said with a smile:

"My name is Lis Kane, and I'm the leader of the White Dove Mercenary Group."

"Although your ring looks ordinary, it is actually a storage ring, right?"

".yes."

Blair said with some difficulty that he had this premonition when Li Si pointed out the ring just now.

"I wonder how you knew that?"

"I have my own way."

Li Si shook his head and said with a smile.

In fact, the first time he saw Blair, he secretly used his mental power to explore the brass ring on his hand.

As a result, he sensed nothing. In Li Si's perception, it was as if Blair was not wearing anything on his hands.

It was this result that confirmed Li Si's previous guess.

This Blair is the future president of the Hammer Chamber of Commerce, and he vaguely looks similar to that old man.

The ring in his hand should be the [Samekhar's Bronze Ring].

Li Si knew about the existence of this [Samekhar's Bronze Ring] because it was mentioned in a plot introduction in his previous life.

In the plot of the previous life's continent of Fanor, compared to the elves, dwarves often appeared in the human kingdom, often serving as mercenaries. The forging workshops they established also provided excellent weapons and armor, which was also one of their racial talents.

In addition to the dwarves scattered throughout the human kingdom, the dwarves are more concentrated in the Ganor Mountains in the central and western parts of the continent, existing in the form of tribes and city-states.

Because there are many mineral deposits in the Ganor Mountains and underground magma as a heat source, it is the best place for dwarves who love forging and ores.

There are many forging masters among the dwarves, and many legendary equipments are made by the dwarves.

And [Samekhar] is the name of the god of lava, fire and forging.

Although this god is only a being of weak divine power, he is the assistant of Moradin, the main god of the dwarf pantheon.

In a sense, there is nothing wrong in calling him the second best forging god among the dwarven gods.

Therefore, he is also one of the gods most worshipped by dwarf craftsmen besides Moradin.

He had a great influence on the dwarves' forging level and created many forging methods and techniques. Many legendary equipment were named "Samekhar" to show respect for this god.

However, this [Ring of Samaikhar] is not a very powerful supernatural weapon.

In essence, this ring is really just a storage ring, but what makes it different is the person who forged it.

[Mateus Hammer]!
Humans may not be familiar with this name, but it is also a very important existence in the history of the dwarves.

It is said that on the night that Mateus Hammer was born, the Molten Volcano suddenly erupted with unprecedented light, illuminating the entire mountain range.

The magma sea in the mountain boiled more violently, as if some mysterious power was brewing. At this moment, a strange ball of light slowly rose from the center of the magma. The light gradually weakened, revealing a dwarf who was small in stature but full of infinite vitality. This was Mateus Hammer.

When Mateus was born, his body was surrounded by mysterious runes made of flames. These runes originated from Samaikhar, the god of lava, fire and forging. They gave him the talent to control fire and metal. His small body contained amazing potential.

What was even more surprising was that as soon as he landed, he was able to communicate with the surrounding fire elements and calm the raging magma, as if he was the descendant of the volcanic spirit and was born with the ability to control this natural force.

This miraculous event quickly spread throughout the entire dwarf tribe. After praying to the dwarf gods, the dwarf priest announced to all dwarves that the baby was the son of the god [Samekhar].

To celebrate this miracle, the elders of the dwarf tribe held a grand ceremony, celebrating and expecting that he would be the flame and light of wisdom for the entire dwarf tribe.

As time went by, Mateus Hammer showed an unimaginable learning ability and creativity. He not only mastered the secrets of fire magic, but also could shape rocks into exquisite works of art, and even created many technologies that utilized the thermal energy of volcanic lava, and achieved unprecedented achievements in many fields such as architecture, crafts, and magic.

Mateus Ironhammer created many legendary equipments in his life, leaving a significant mark in the history of the dwarves.

And this [Samekhar's Bronze Ring] is related to Mateus Hammer's most mysterious creation.

The Blair that Li Si knew was a character who appeared in the later part of the plot.

The Iron Hammer Chamber of Commerce he established mainly deals in the trade of weapons, equipment and minerals between the dwarven city-states and the human kingdoms.

Deliver food, wine, minerals and other commodities to the Ganor Mountains, purchase finished weapons and equipment from the dwarves, and send them to the human kingdom for trading.

The Hammer Chamber of Commerce often appears in the plots that players participate in.

At first, the players didn't know why the Chamber of Commerce established by Blair, a human, could get the support of the dwarf high-level officials.

Later we found out that it was because Blair brought a special ring to the dwarves.

Through the clues hidden in the [Samekhar's Bronze Ring], the dwarves found the last and most important masterpiece of Mateus Hammer's life.

[Mathäus's Ring]!
The magic ring left by Mateus became a sacred object of the dwarves after being found by them. This is also the reason why Blair was able to gain the gratitude of the dwarves.

As for the [Mathias's Ring], Li Si didn't know much about it. Although its name made it sound like an ornament, this ring was actually a weapon.

Some players have witnessed the legendary dwarves using this magic ring, which can transform into different weapon forms. Li Si knows that there are different forms such as long sword, spear, shield, heavy hammer, bow and arrow, gloves, etc., and they are all very powerful.

Judging from these performances alone, this [Mathias's Ring] is undoubtedly one of the most suitable weapons for Li Si.

Although it is not known whether this magic ring can transform into the form of a staff, even if it is in the form of other weapons, it is completely sufficient for Li Si to use.

After all, as the owner of the [Almighty] talent, and also possessing the warrior professional talent [Mastery of All Martial Arts], Li Si can use any sword or dagger used by warriors and assassins, or bows and hammers used by rangers and priests with ease.

Switching quickly during battle, even if it saves one second, may determine the victory of a battle at Li Si's level.

Moreover, owning the [Mathias's Ring] is equivalent to owning a legendary sword, a legendary dagger, a legendary bow and other weapons.

These are also the reasons why Li Si made the clue of this magic ring a bounty mission.

After arriving in Cuifeng City, Li Si, based on his memories of his previous life, issued many bounty missions to players in order to find clues of hide-and-seek that might be useful to him.

Unlike the Kingdom of Feis and the Forest of Elves, the area around the Kingdom of Gordon in the previous life was not the main activity place for the player Li Si, so Li Si did not know the details of many related plots.

There are also some treasures whose specific process of obtaining them that players do not understand.

For example, players don’t know how to obtain [Mateus’s Ring].

The only information learned from the stories told by the dwarves was that the ring was related to the bronze ring in the hand of the traveling merchant Blair.

"Don't be nervous."

Li Si looked at Blair, who had forced himself to calm down but still looked a little nervous, and said with a smile.

In any case, Li Si had no intention of snatching the bronze ring from Blair.

With Li Si's strength, he could take the bronze ring without anyone noticing, but this behavior was not in line with his principles.

After all, as the Duke of the Kingdom of Feis, the Elf Sage, and the World Tree Sage, he is also a person of status!
Moreover, Blair himself is a very capable person.

As the president who will establish the future Hammer Chamber of Commerce, Blair's ability is enough to support such a large chamber of commerce and become one of the bridges between the dwarves and the human kingdom. Naturally, he is an important talent.

Li Si now has sufficient resources, but lacks various talents.

For example, the current White Dove Mercenary Group is in need of a person in charge.

After all, Li Si has already completely built the initial framework, and the rest can be left to others.

Li Si still has a lot to do, such as dealing with the evil god's followers hiding in the dark of Cuifeng City, and the war near the Eli Hills.

so.
Blair, I want both you and your ring!
For some reason, Blair felt Li Si's slightly eager gaze and shuddered all over. He quickly said:

"Lord Li Si, why do you want this ring?"

"This one"

Li Si shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile:

"In fact, you should realize that if it is just a storage ring, it may be precious to others, but it is nothing to me."

"Ah."

Blair was silent for a moment and did not refute.

Although the space inside the brass ring in his hand was quite large and was a treasure for ordinary people or even adventurers, it was not too precious to Li Si, who was most likely a young noble.

Not to mention the faint pressure emanating from Li Si, which might very well be from a person far stronger than him.

Blair was in a gloomy mood, but he still sat there obediently, not daring to relax.

If there is no other choice, I can only give up this storage ring.

Although he was reluctant, he was not willing to risk his life for a ring.

"There are other more precious things about this ring, but you probably can't find them."

Li Si looked at Blair with a smile and said bluntly.

"what?"

Blair stroked the ring on his hand and said with some confusion.

"So, I'm willing to pay a price that will satisfy you. How about you give me this ring?"

Li Si looked at Blair, took out a ring with his right hand and placed it on the table in front of him.

Unlike the one on Blair's hand, this ring was inlaid with exquisite gemstones, and the rest was made of gold.

"This is."

Blair hesitated for a moment, picked up the ring, and tried to explore it with his consciousness.

"this!"

Blair stood up in shock, and even the chair fell to the ground with his movement.

The golden ring in his hand not only has a storage space that is no less than his ring, but it even contains several boxes full of gold coins.

After a rough look, there are probably about 40,000 to 50,000 gold coins!

Without any hesitation, Blair tightly grasped the golden ring, quickly took off the brass ring on his hand and handed it respectfully to Li Si.

“Thank you for your generosity, I do!”

Mmm~ it smells so good!

In an instant, Li Si's status in Blair's heart was elevated.

At first Blair was prepared to get only a little compensation, but when he saw the ring and gold coins, he didn't hesitate at all.

He even didn't want to take out the remaining goods he had placed in the brass ring.

Li Si took the brass ring back with a smile, played with it in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Then there is one more thing."

"Mr. Blair, will you work for me?"

Σ(°△°|||)︴

what?
Blair looked at Li Si in surprise, with a hint of despair in his eyes.

So you were waiting for me here?

The nobles are very cunning!
