I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 709: The Dwarf Tribe’s Background
"Semi-artifacts and holy artifacts?"

Li Si looked at Tom with some surprise and confirmed again.

"Is such that."

Tom nodded affirmatively, and then explained patiently:

"The attack on Lonely Mountain City by the followers of the evil god was actually anticipated by the Dwarf King's Court and the Temple."

"The royal court and the temple have made a lot of preparations for this, and have even specially awakened the semi-divine artifacts and sacred artifacts of the clan."

"It's just that perhaps the preparations were sufficient. His Majesty Preston alone thwarted all the plots of the evil god's followers."

"But awakening a semi-artifact and a holy artifact will cost a lot."

"It's not like this hasn't happened before. Just like before, as long as the forging master is recognized by the royal court and the temple, he can get access to semi-artifacts and sacred artifacts."

“This is a very rare opportunity.”

Tom looked at Li Si and said solemnly.

"I know."

Li Si nodded and said.

He really didn't expect that the attack by the Shadow King's followers would bring him such a surprise.

Whether it is a semi-artifact or a holy artifact, it is an extremely valuable reference object for Li Si.

After all, compared to legendary equipment, successfully casting a semi-artifact or holy weapon is the eternal pursuit of forging masters.

In fact, semi-artifacts and holy artifacts are not the same thing.

Above legendary weapons and equipment is actually the level of semi-artifacts.

In fact, the difference between semi-artifacts and legendary equipment is not the material, but the blessing of divine power.

A semi-artifact is a legendary equipment that is blessed with divine power and is upgraded after breaking through that level of limit.

In fact, artifacts in the Gaia world will be restricted by the Gaia world.

On the contrary, although a semi-artifact costs a considerable amount of money to activate, it can basically exert its full power.

Even if he is a demigod, he does not have much reserve of divine power.

Most of those who can use semi-artifacts are powerful forces with divine power sources such as the Church of the Gods.

Because of these reasons, there are not many semi-artifacts in the Gaia world.

Moreover, most semi-artifacts are used to consolidate faith, and only a small part of them are used purely for combat.

The dwarves should be considered the supernatural force with the most semi-artifacts and holy artifacts.

Unlike semi-artifacts, holy artifacts are actually the name for some special legendary equipment.

The reason why holy artifacts and legendary equipment are distinguished is that the functions and effects of holy artifacts are somewhat similar to those of semi-artifacts, but do not require the consumption of divine power.

In fact, holy artifacts are generally extremely powerful legendary equipment, but because of special changes, they exhibit high-level abilities similar to semi-artifacts and artifacts.

Semi-artifacts are baptized and blessed by the power of gods.

But the holy vessels have none,

Therefore, although semi-artifacts are more powerful than holy artifacts, the cost of using holy artifacts is higher.

For a powerful force with a long history, the value of a semi-artifact and a holy artifact is similar.

However, for the forging masters, semi-artifacts and holy artifacts are what they pursue.

This is also the only criterion for whether one has become a forging master.

Although semi-artifacts and holy artifacts do not rely solely on the skills of forging masters.

In other words, what the forging masters can do is actually to cast the prototypes of semi-artifacts and holy artifacts.

But even this step of casting the original embryo is something that very few people can do.

For the forging masters, coming into contact with semi-artifacts and holy artifacts is a rare opportunity.

It allows them to experience the essential differences between semi-artifacts, holy artifacts and legendary equipment.

This also makes them more confident when trying to forge the prototypes of holy artifacts and semi-artifacts.

The fundamental reason why Tom told Li Si about this matter was his high expectations for Li Si.

In Tomn's opinion, although Reese, who has an extraordinary talent for forging, may not be able to do it now, it is absolutely possible for him to forge a semi-artifact or a holy weapon in the future.

Being able to come into contact with real semi-artifacts and holy artifacts earlier will be of great benefit to Reese's future progress.

You know, even among the dwarves, the opportunity to personally touch semi-artifacts and holy artifacts is quite precious.
Although the Dwarven Court and Temple possess relatively more semi-artifacts and sacred artifacts, the number of Dwarven forge masters is also greater.

It is simply impossible for every forging master to have access to semi-artifacts and holy artifacts.

You know, semi-artifacts and holy artifacts that have not yet unleashed their true power and are in a dormant state, don't have much meaning even if they are taken out and shown to the forging masters.

If the semi-artifacts and holy artifacts had not been awakened this time and had not been put to use, the Dwarf Royal Court and the Temple would not have allowed the Dwarf Forging Masters to study them.

After consuming a certain amount of power, semi-artifacts and holy artifacts will return to a dormant state.

Moreover, this time they were not specifically awakening semi-artifacts and holy artifacts for the forging masters to study, so the number of semi-artifacts and holy artifacts awakened was not large.

There is only one spot allocated to the Hammer Workshop.

When Patterson and Tom received the news, they decided to give this opportunity to Li Si.

If it was in the previous Hammer Workshop, all the forging masters would have scrambled for such an opportunity.

Although I know that it is almost impossible for me to make a breakthrough through this opportunity, who would be willing to give up the chance to get access to semi-artifacts and holy artifacts?
However, I think the forging masters in the Hammer Workshop will have no objection to giving this opportunity to Reese.

After all, during this period of time, Tomn basically took Reese to get to know all the forging masters in the Hammer Workshop.

After seeing Li Si's youth and forging skills, the forging masters began to instruct him tacitly.

So when Li Si got this opportunity, the other forging masters had no objection.

"Of course I want to go!"

When Li Si heard Tom's question, he spoke without any hesitation.

In fact, the floating city of Kane controlled by Li Si is more valuable than a holy weapon or a semi-artifact.

But the two cannot be directly compared in terms of value.

Semi-artifacts and holy artifacts represent stronger and higher-level individual powers.

This was very tempting to Li Si.

For every forging master who pursues higher goals, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

"Row."

Tom nodded and said with a smile:

"There is still a lot of work to be done by the Temple and the Royal Court regarding this incident."

"It will probably take a few more days before you can touch the semi-artifacts and holy artifacts."

"Take a good rest these few days, don't be too tired, conserve your energy and be prepared."

Tom nodded and stared at Li Sidao.

Then he left with a smile on his face.

It has to be said that many things have been going on quite well for him recently.

For a moment, he thought it was Moradin's blessing. After seeing Tomn leave, Li Si briefly chatted with Nitil for a few words and then returned to his room.

For Li Si, it is certainly a good thing to have the opportunity to come into contact with semi-artifacts and holy artifacts.

But there is no doubt that the location of the semi-artifacts and holy artifacts must be in the core of Lonely Mountain City.

There will definitely be the most stringent surveillance and protection by the powerful dwarves.

Li Si is not a real dwarf.

It would be troublesome if my identity was exposed there.

So in the next few days, Li Si needs to make more preparations.

A few days later,
Li Si followed Tom and walked towards the Dwarf Palace in Lonely Mountain.

Along the way, Li Si discovered that all traces of the previous fierce battle in Gushan City had been cleared and order had basically returned to normal.

Except for some damaged houses that were being repaired, the atmosphere in the entire Lonely Mountain City was somewhat gloomy, and the dwarves basically no longer had the shadow of attacking the evil god's believers.

Of course, this was also due to the overwhelming power displayed by the Dwarf King Preston that day, which gave most dwarves greater confidence.

Soon, under the leadership of Tomn, Li Si arrived in front of the dwarf palace.

In the heart of the dwarf capital at the top of the mountain, stands a magnificent building that transcends the earthly world.

Unlike the low dwarven buildings in Lonely Mountain, the Dwarven Palace proudly overlooks the low houses scattered around at its feet.

These buildings are like stars surrounding the moon, highlighting the extraordinary and noble nature of the palace.

The palaces in the royal palace are carved from huge stones. Each stone seems to carry the tenacity and wisdom of the dwarves for thousands of years, and its surface is engraved with rough but orderly patterns.

These patterns are magnificent epics painted on the stone walls by dwarven craftsmen using hammers and chisels as pens.

Some patterns are like surging lava, showing the dwarves' worship of fire and power;
Some patterns resemble overlapping mountains, revealing the home environment of the dwarves.

Every line contains the call of the wild, making people involuntarily feel the primitive and pure beauty of the dwarves.

The outline of the palace appears more solemn in the morning light, and the golden sunlight shines on it, giving it a layer of sacred glow.

The towering spire points straight to the sky, like a bridge connecting heaven and earth, conveying the majesty and oracle of the dwarf royal family.

When Li Si stepped into the Dwarf Palace, he felt an extremely subtle wave sweeping through his body.

A fairly advanced detection array?
Li Si had some guesses in his mind.

However, Li Si had already prepared himself mentally.

With his full efforts, it seemed that nothing went wrong.

Li Si, who secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quickly took a few steps to catch up with Tom.

The dwarf palace was not as deserted as Li Si had imagined.

Everywhere, dwarf guards with serious expressions could be seen standing guard in various parts of the palace, keeping a close eye on anyone who moved around in the palace.

There were also many dwarves walking in a hurry. They seemed to be wearing civil servants' robes and holding many scrolls in their arms. It seemed that they had a lot of things to deal with.

Tom seemed very familiar with the palace and led Li Si straight to the back of the palace.

As they walked, Tom whispered to Li Si:

"Although His Majesty Preston doesn't care much about rules, you'd better not wander around casually."

"Next time there's a chance, I'll take you to visit the collection room in the palace."

"There are many works of masters there. You should be very interested in them."

Tom said with a smile.

In fact, there are many interesting things about the Dwarf Court.

However, because of Li Si's preference, Tom did not introduce other places to Li Si.

Soon, Tom brought Li Si to an ordinary little house right behind the palace.

Although it looks inconspicuous, there are many more guards guarding this place compared to other places.

Li Si understood that this should be a very important place in the palace.

At this point, Tom couldn't bring Li Si in casually.

After a dwarf waiter repeatedly confirmed Tom and Lis' identities, he led the two into the house.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Si felt the subtle spatial fluctuations and the silver-white spatial passage in front of him.

He instantly understood where the dwarves' semi-artifacts and holy artifacts were stored.

A small world exclusive to the dwarves!
Li Si sighed secretly in his heart.

This is still without any loss!

Like most of the current supernatural forces, they still thought that the small world was the safest place.

Li Si knew very well that it would not take long for the [Crystal of Phillips] to open up these small worlds with owners.

The question is whether the dwarves can react and move the storage location of the semi-artifacts and holy artifacts in time.

Without saying much, Li Si and Tomn entered the silver-white space passage under the guidance of the waiter.

After a dizzy spell, Li Si came to a completely new little world.

This is a desolate and lonely little world. The entire land is covered by the boundless Gobi Desert, stretching as far as the eye can see.

The strong wind carried the sand and rushed towards us like a ferocious beast.

The sand hit my face, causing waves of stinging pain.

Looking around, all you can see is yellow sand, without a trace of green, as if this land has never given birth to life.

However, beneath this seemingly dead surface, there are hidden unknown secrets.

The concentration of magic power in this small world is extremely high, almost condensing into substance.

Thick magical power permeates the air, giving people a heavy feeling of oppression.

This magic is different from that of other places. It is rich and pure, like the blood of the earth, flowing in this Gobi Desert.

Li Si could feel that the area of ​​this small world was quite small.

It may be just the area in front of you, but it is filled with such terrifying magic power.

No wonder the dwarves used this place as a place to store and nourish semi-artifacts and holy artifacts.

In this vast Gobi Desert, the only buildings that come into view are the dozen or so brown-yellow towers that are scattered in an orderly manner and stand in the heart of the Gobi Desert.

These towers seem to be masterpieces of nature and almost blend into the surrounding environment.

Their colors contrast with the sand and rocks of the Gobi Desert, making their outlines only vaguely discernible to the naked eye.

The surface of the tower is mottled by the erosion of wind and sand, which also adds a sense of vicissitudes of beauty.

Tom pointed to the brown-yellow tower in the distance and said solemnly:

"What is stored in those towers is the most important heritage of the dwarves. They are the most precious treasures, semi-artifacts and sacred artifacts over countless years."

Li Si looked at the towers with some surprise.

He could feel the extremely powerful protective force from the high tower.

That is a god-level protective power, which is not something that Li Si can break through now.

But if Tom is right
The dwarves actually have more than a dozen semi-artifacts and holy artifacts?
Isn’t this a bit too exaggerated?
