I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 699 Development of the Situation
Lonely Mountain City,
In the ruins of the battlefield, Caleb and Ricky watched the dwarves who had arrived cleaning up the collapsed houses and rescuing the injured dwarves.

In fact, the only dwarves they could save were the wounded around the battlefield who were caught in the aftermath of the legendary battle.

And in the central area of ​​the battlefield, no one could survive the battle between the two legends.

Looking at the tragic scene around him, Caleb understood why Ricky was in such a bad mood.

Such a thing happened in their own base camp. Casualties and material losses were only one aspect. The more critical thing was that it was a slap in the face of the Dwarf King's Court.

Especially since one of the parties is a sun elf, this is simply a provocation to the prestige of the Dwarf Royal Court.

Not to mention the dwarves with explosive tempers, no matter which force it is, they cannot tolerate such a thing happening.

"Of course I need you to help me find the legendary sun elf."

Ricky looked at Caleb and said in a deep voice:

"As long as he is not caught, this matter will not end."

"We thought this Sun Elf had left after entering Molten Core, but we didn't expect him to be so persistent and dare to come to Lonely Mountain!"

"However, I have some doubts whether this Sun Elf is from the Elf Kingdom, or even that his identity as a Sun Elf is a disguise."

After hesitating for a moment, Ricky said to Caleb:
"The Elf Kingdom had so many troubles before, but they actually let a legendary day elf come to Lonely Mountain City. I can't understand what they were thinking no matter how hard I try."

"Most of the Sun Elves of the three major Sun Elf families, the Aloloti family, are staying in Andor City, and the legends outside know each other."

"The Ilithir family was destroyed along with the Elven Court by Demogorgon. I have never heard of any of the legends surviving."

"The Sun Elves of the Weishan family are very mysterious. I have never heard of them interfering in the Elf Kingdom or other forces."

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that this was arranged by the Elf Kingdom, but I trust my intuition more. This matter should be related to those evil god believers!"

"Is that so?"

Caleb's expression also became serious. He looked at Ricky in front of him and asked:
"This is the dwarven city of Lonely Mountain. What can I do?"

"Or rather, what do you want me to do?"

"If it's a matter of the Elf Kingdom, then you don't have to do anything."

Ricky thought for a moment and whispered:

"The kingdom has already sent people to the Elf Kingdom. There will definitely be a result no matter what."

"But if they are followers of the evil god, the Church of the God of War will need to take action."

"But I didn't bring many people with me this time. Lonely Mountain City is so big that they may not be able to help."

Caleb thought about it, shook his head and said.

"Of course, this is our territory after all."

Ricky said affirmatively, but quickly said:

"Hasn't your Church of the God of War always been in conflict with the followers of the evil god? I think you should be very experienced in dealing with them."

"If I find any clues, you will go with me."

At this point, Ricky paused for a moment, and then immediately said to Li Si:
"Of course, those evil god believers must have made a lot of preparations. They may have several secret bases in the city. It is not certain that we can find the legendary sun elf every time."

"So, you might have to make more trips, Caleb."

Hearing this, Caleb finally understood what Ricky was thinking.

He is prepared to treat himself as a worker who is available at any time!
As a minister of the Dwarf King's Court, Ricky has a very honorable status and is even on good terms with the legends of the Dwarf race.

Just like what happened just now, Caleb was quickly let go by the other legends under Ricky's guarantee.

But even so, there are many things Ricky can't do.

For example, letting a legend follow him every day, clearing out the strongholds of the evil god's followers like gambling.

The other party is a legendary sun elf, and looking for him is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing.

Of course, it would be much better if there was a legend by your side.

Even if they are defeated, they can still hold on until the strong dwarves arrive.

Therefore, with Caleb by his side, Ricky can feel more at ease in looking for the sun elf.

This was quite a troublesome thing for him.

But everything has two sides, and the biggest trouble for the current Dwarf Royal Court is this Sun Elf.

In addition to Ricky, there are many people looking for this sun elf.

If Ricky could be the first to find this sun elf and successfully capture it, the benefits he could gain would be enormous.

After realizing this, Caleb felt helpless.

But he really had no way of refusing this matter.

After all, he had played a part in the destruction of Lonely Mountain before, and it was with Ricky's help that he was able to escape from trouble.

What's more, Caleb would be quite uneasy if he couldn't deal with the legendary day elf.

Most importantly, he had no idea why the legendary sun elf had chosen him as his target.

Who knows if he will be attacked again in secret later?
Anyone who encounters such an enemy will feel helpless.

"That's fine."

Caleb shook his head helplessly and had to agree to Ricky's request and temporarily become his "thug".

In fact, as an envoy of the Church of the God of War, the attack on the Dwarf Capital, Lonely Mountain, should be more of the responsibility of the Dwarf Kingdom.

After all, we are on the opponent's territory.

But it was obvious that the Dwarf Kingdom was not the kind of place that would reason with him.

If Ricky hadn't shown up and seen those legendary dwarves just now, he would probably have been controlled on the spot.

Caleb looked unhappy and could only consider himself unlucky.

Ricky seemed to have received Caleb's promise, and he felt much better, with a smile on his face.

Hammer Workshop,

After Li Si returned to the workshop, he sat in the room thinking about what he had just witnessed.

He was almost certain that it was a follower of the evil god who disguised himself as a legendary "Sun Elf" and caused that incident.

Although he still doesn't understand the other party's purpose, the evil god's believers are Li Si's main enemy now anyway.

No matter what they were planning, Li Si would definitely not let them get what they wanted.

Although the relationship between the Dwarf Kingdom and the Human Kingdom is not very harmonious, the same is true for the Dwarf Gods.

But after all, the dwarves and the dwarf gods are all members of the order camp, and Li Si cannot sit idly by and watch those evil god believers do things unscrupulously.

Recalling the experience just now, the most crucial thing was the fluctuation from the shadow plane that Li Si felt when the "Sun Elf" left.

However, the fluctuation was so weak that even Li Si almost didn't notice it.

This is because Li Si, as a legendary arcanist, is extremely sensitive to any fluctuations in power.

Only by mastering the power of shadow at the same time can one feel that subtle fluctuation.

That was a weaker fluctuation than the legendary shadow assassin, at least Li Si couldn't do it at the moment. Therefore, it was inevitable that the legendary dwarves present didn't notice anything unusual when the sun elf disappeared.

There is no doubt that it is most likely a power above legend.

Of course, that doesn't mean that the person disguised as a sun elf is a demigod or stronger.

It is very likely that this method is made possible by the power of some special equipment and props.

If the other party is a believer of an evil god, then there will not be many targets.

For example, the most powerful gods in the shadow plane, [Goddess of Darkness and Shadows] Shar, or [Lord of Shadows] Mas.

Similarly, Mask, the God of Thieves, also mastered the power of the Shadow Realm.

Believers in their evil gods can do this with the help of the power of the gods.

Of course, it would also be possible if it was a demigod who had mastered the power of shadow.

But if it were a demigod, there would be no need to do that.

At least Caleb, the legendary priest of the Church of the God of War, would not be able to stand up to the opponent for so long.

Of course, there is also the possibility that the other party will hold back.

But there are quite few demigods, and most of them are quietly accumulating strength to ignite the divine fire and ascend to the throne, and rarely would they venture to other places.

Not to mention coming to the base camp of other supernatural forces.

Now, the target that Li Si suspects the most is the followers of Mask, the God of Thieves, and Mas, the Lord of Shadows.

Li Si had experienced a lot of things and knew that these followers of evil gods could never do anything good all day long.

But now, Li Si doesn't know where to start in order to disrupt the opponent's plan.

Is it just him I can go find?
A few days later, in Lonely Mountain City,
Today is the Fire Festival of the Dwarves.

This is one of the most important festivals for the dwarves. On this day, the dwarves will light torches and pray for courage and good luck under the light of the flames.

The sunlight shone through the thin clouds, dappled onto the walls of Lonely Mountain City, which were built with huge stones.

It adds a bit of warmth and splendor to this already indestructible city.

Colorful flags fluttered in the wind on both sides of the street, each flag was embroidered with the emblem of the dwarves or a pattern of interlaced hammers and swords symbolizing prosperity and victory.

Torches extended from the city gate to every corner of the city. The warm flames intertwined together, bringing a lively atmosphere.

It seems that because Lonely Mountain was attacked a few days ago, the royal court prepared the Fire Festival celebration in a grand manner in order to divert the dwarves' attention.

The air of Lonely Mountain is filled with the rich aroma of ale, which is the result of a year's hard work by the dwarf brewers.

Barrels of newly brewed beer were carried to the center of the square. The golden liquor sparkled with an alluring luster in the sun, drawing cheers from the surrounding dwarves.

The dwarves wore their favorite clothes, their leather armor was polished spotlessly clean, and even their beards were carefully braided and dyed in various colors, making them look particularly energetic.

Li Si walked on the street and saw dwarves everywhere, either in groups of three or five or alone, holding heavy wine bottles, with satisfied and happy smiles on their faces.

Some of them were standing, some were sitting, and some were even lying on the ground, but without exception, they were all shouting loudly and sharing their stories and achievements of the past year.

The singing, laughter and clinking of glasses intertwined together to form a unique celebratory symphony.

In the center of the square, a group of dwarves were performing a traditional dance around a campfire. Their steps were firm and powerful, their movements were rough yet elegant, and every spin and every jump was full of strength and passion.

Li Si was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

It is unexpected that the seemingly clumsy dwarves can have such flexible dance steps.

It’s really a great experience.

But Nitier beside him would steal a glance at Li Si from time to time.

It looked like she was expecting Li Si to invite her to dance.

However, Li Si really had no interest in this.

In fact, if he had not been kicked out of the workshop by Tomn, he would not have been very interested in this Fire Festival.

For Li Si, who has already achieved legend, the process of becoming stronger and mastering more knowledge can bring the greatest happiness and pleasure.

He was fully capable of sitting still and enduring the boredom of learning forging techniques.

But Tom couldn't stand it anymore.

He now suddenly understood that having an outstanding disciple was something to be proud of.

But having a disciple who is too outstanding is a painful thing.

These days, Li Si's learning speed is really too amazing.

Li Si understood a lot of knowledge and techniques at a glance, and he could master them successfully after just a few practices.

Even Tom's most proud forging secret technique was not difficult for Li Si.

In this way, during these days, Li Si has learned most of what Tom has mastered.

If there weren't other forging masters in the Hammer Workshop, Tom would have almost no idea how to teach Li Si.

It happened to be the Fire Festival, so Tom threw Li Si out.

It is said that young people should go out more so that they can be in a better mood to study.

So Tom went out for a drink with his old friends.

While boasting to others about the excellence of his disciples, he was also asking for advice on what to continue teaching.

When she saw Li Si leaving the Hammer Workshop, Nitil took the initiative to follow him.

I want to take Li Si for a good stroll during the celebration in Gushan City.

Seeing this, Li Si did not refuse.

These days, in addition to learning forging technology, he also kept a close eye on the situation in Gushan City.

But during these days, apart from a few disturbances in the city and the reported discovery of several strongholds of the evil god's followers, there was no other abnormality.

As for the legendary sun elf, it never appeared again.

Otherwise, the festive atmosphere in Gushan City would not be so strong this time.

But Li Si knew very well that those followers of the evil god would almost certainly not stop there.

It seems that the dwarves have also realized that something is wrong and are stepping up their investigations into the evil god's followers.

But there doesn't seem to be any results.

As for the Sotiga volcano, there is even less situation.

However, Li Si heard from the people in the Hammer Workshop that the area near the core of the Sotiga volcano had been blocked by the temple.

For a short period of time, even those who have workshops in that area cannot get close.

It seems that [Molten Core] is indeed very important to the dwarves, and they take it so seriously.

Just when Li Si was thinking about something, he suddenly saw a figure not far away.

Li Si's mouth corners slightly raised, and he took the initiative to walk in that direction.
