I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 717: Contact with the Demigod Poole
Molten Core,

Poole Waters looked at Reece, somewhat curiously.

As the demigod who guards the dwarven holy land [Molten Core], he is naturally the strongest here.

So, before Reese came over, Leander informed him of Reese's situation.

For someone with such a unique talent, Poole was naturally well aware of Reese's importance to the dwarven race.

Moreover, he also had to preside over the baptism of Samaikhar's divine power for Reese.

After sensing the new team entering Molten Core, Poole came over to look at Reese in front of him.

For some reason, when he saw Reese, Poole always felt that the young dwarf in front of him gave him a familiar feeling.

But whether it was his appearance or his aura, Poole was sure that he had never seen this Reese before.

Isn’t this a bit strange?

After a brief thought, Poole didn't think much about it.

Maybe it’s because of the holy artifact [Eternal Wine] on this kid?
As a demigod of the dwarves, Poole once used this holy weapon.

The holy artifact [Eternal Wine] is the most "valued" holy artifact by the top powerful dwarves.

The reason is simple, it is because the wine in [Eternal Wine] tastes so good, it is not at the same level as the wine brewed by the dwarves.

For the dwarves who love alcohol, [Eternal Wine] is simply the most practical holy vessel.

In fact, [Eternal Brew] is also the most frequently used holy weapon by the dwarves.

At every year's year-end celebration, [Eternal Wine] is used to produce fine wine and incorporated into the drinks used in the celebration.

Even though it would cost a considerable amount, neither the Dwarf King's Court nor the Temple had any objection to this.

I didn't expect that the temple and the royal court would let Reese carry this holy weapon with him, which is enough to show how much they value him.

Um.
Even the servants of the God of War were arranged to follow behind Rees, so it was almost impossible for Rees to be in any danger of life in the Dwarf Kingdom.

The Wargod's servants are loyal followers of the dwarven god Moradin.

Like the god of war Karis worshipped by the Church of War, the dwarf god Moradin also possesses the priesthood of war.

He will grant powerful strength and choose his loyal believers to become servants of the God of War and strengthen their power.

After accepting Moradin's gift, the God of War's servants all possess legendary strength, which is also the foundation of the Dwarf Temple.

Of course, after accepting Moradin's gift and becoming a servant of the god of war, although one will possess great power and a long life, it also means that one's strength will be solidified and can no longer be improved.

Therefore, those who choose to become servants of the God of War are all dwarf believers who have exhausted their potential and are unable to break through to the legendary level.

Moreover, the servants of the God of War are absolutely loyal to the dwarf gods and will absolutely obey the orders of the Dwarf Temple.

This is also the core force most trusted by the Dwarf Archbishop.

However, because forcibly upgrading believers to the legendary level will consume a large amount of divine power, even the Dwarf Temple will not have many servants of the God of War.

These war gods and servants basically guard various important places of the dwarf tribe, such as the dwarf temple and the royal palace.

[Molten Core] Because Poole was there, no war god servants were arranged.

When Poole noticed the servant of the God of War, he realized that this was the bodyguard arranged by the temple for Reese.

Looks like I can save some trouble.

After the incident of the elves breaking into Molten Core last time, even though there was no loss after the inventory, Poole still felt a little embarrassed.

To this end, he conducted a thorough investigation of the entire Sotiga volcano area.

The protective layout of [Molten Core] has also been rearranged.

In this case, it becomes much more difficult to sneak into Molten Core.

Poole felt a little relieved that nothing would go wrong these days.

Since he had nothing to do, Poole turned his attention to Reese.

After the introduction by the leader of the dwarf guards, Reese began to wander around in Molten Core.

However, what made him feel somewhat helpless was that he vaguely felt a pair of eyes watching him.

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

Without thinking, Li Si knew who the person who was paying attention to him was.

The dwarf demigod guarding [Molten Core]!

Apart from this person, there is no one else in Molten Core who can hide from Li Si's perception.

Li Si has roughly realized that in addition to the legend who protected him along the way, there are two other legendary auras in [Molten Core].

Moreover, the strength of these two legendary auras is relatively average. They should be like the owner of the Hammer Workshop, [Hands of a Hundred Forges] Patterson, who are all dwarf legends who focus on forging.

With their strength, it is impossible to hide from Li Si's perception.

Has this guy been in Molten Core for too long and is too idle?

Li Si felt a little helpless, but his expression did not change at all.

Since this person has not taken any action since entering the Molten Core, it means that he has not seen through Li Si's true identity.

That's enough.

All that remains is to find an opportunity to approach the lava pool at the core of Molten Core.

Take away the [Mathias's Ring].

However, this matter needs to be done step by step.

Since he had not been discovered, Li Si had enough time to achieve this goal and was not in a hurry.

After making up his mind, Li Si found an unused foundry nearby and began to try to forge weapons and equipment.

As soon as he started, Li Si discovered something different.

Even the initial process of smelting metal ore and hammering out impurities was much faster than Li Si in the hammer workshop.

Moreover, the impurities in the rough blank obtained after hammering are reduced by half.

You know, unlike when he just broke through to the legendary level, after a period of crazy learning in the Hammer Workshop, Li Si has become a veritable forging master.

Even compared with the experienced forging masters in the Hammer Workshop, Li Si was not inferior at all.

According to Tomn, Reese can definitely break through and become a forging master before he gets old.

Therefore, with Li Si's current forging technology, under the already excellent conditions in the Hammer Workshop, the content of impurities in the rough billet forged out is already very low.

But in [Molten Core], the already very small impurities can continue to decrease, which is a bit exaggerated.

Li Si sensed it carefully and found that the fire element power that permeated the Molten Core was extremely special and could provide considerable help to the forging process.

No wonder the dwarves value Molten Core so much.

I don’t know if Molten Core is so magical in the first place, or if it became like this because of the God of Forging, Samaikhar.

After a brief observation, Li Si continued with the forging.

Sure enough, just like the previous hammering process, the subsequent smelting, molding and other processes were also quite smooth.

The only drawback is that compared to Hammer Workshop, the environment of Molten Core is more harsh.

Forging weapons and equipment in such an environment would consume a lot of the blacksmith's physical strength and energy.

No wonder few forging masters stay here for a long time.

After all, most dwarf forging masters are only at the gold level, and it is impossible for them to stay in this environment indefinitely.

Although Li Si, as a legend, didn't care about this level of consumption, he stopped casting in order not to arouse suspicion and sat aside to rest. "If I can get such a bonus here, I wonder if the core of Molten Core will be even stronger?"

Silently taking out some water and food to eat, Li Si said with some emotion.

"of course."

A voice suddenly sounded in the foundry, with a hint of laughter in the words.

Upon hearing this, Reese quickly stood up and looked around with some "vigilance".

"Haha, don't be nervous, little Reese."

A figure appeared in front of Li Si and spoke to him with a smile.

Li Si recognized him at the first sight. This was the dwarf demigod he met when he first sneaked into Molten Core.

However, compared with the terrifying aura he exuded at that time, he now looked like he had no aura of a strong man at all, and was just an ordinary old dwarf.

"Hello, Your Majesty Poole."

Seeing this, Li Si said to Poole respectfully.

"Oh, you know me?"

Poole heard this and looked at Reese with some curiosity.

"Before I came here, Archbishop Leander told me that you are the one guarding Molten Core."

"I have never seen you, but a being as powerful as you appeared in Molten Core, so I think it must be you."

Li Si explained.

"Well, little Reese, you are very smart!"

Poole smiled and patted Reese, saying:

"Not like Leander, but more like that kid Preston."

"Okay, don't be nervous."

"Since you have come to Molten Core, we will not let anything happen to you here."

After that, Poole pointed outside and said to Reese:

"Let's go. Don't you want to experience the core of Molten Core?"

"I'll take you there. That's also where you'll receive the baptism of divine power."

One of the reasons why Poole stayed with Reese was that he was curious about Reese.

On the other hand, I saw Reese was casting, and I wanted to see what Reese was capable of and give him some pointers.

Leander told him that Reese not only had a talent that was important to the dwarves, but he was also very capable in casting and was already a master of casting at a young age.

This was the first time Poole had seen such a young master of casting in all these years.

Seeing such an outstanding junior, Poole certainly wanted to give him some pointers.

But after seeing Li Si's casting process, although the equipment had not yet taken shape, Poole also understood Reese's excellent forging skills.

In Poole's opinion, there are some places that are still a little rough at best, but this is a matter of experience.

Considering his forging level, there was nothing he could point out.

This is a bit exaggerated!
After learning from Leander that Reese was a master forger, Poole thought that he had just become a master forger not long ago.

Although Poole's forging skills are not his strongest point, they are still quite strong.

As a demigod with an extremely long lifespan, he stayed in the Molten Core for a long time.

Even though his talent for forging was not particularly outstanding, Poole's ability was stronger than most forging masters.

But now he is not as good as Reese, and for a moment Poole feels a little weird.

If Leander hadn't told him the information about Reese, he would have thought that Reese was the son of some god of forging.

This is not uncommon among the dwarves.

For example, the son of God Mateus, who was born in Molten Core, is one of the most powerful forging masters of the dwarves.

The semi-artifact [Flame Furnace Breastplate] was forged successfully by him in [Molten Core].

Now, Poole suddenly felt that he might also witness history.

So, Poole became more interested in Reese.

Just then, he heard Reese mumbling to himself and appeared in front of him.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Li Si nodded without hesitation.

You were the one who invited me, I didn't just sneak over there!

Sure enough, after showing enough talent and ability, the entire dwarf tribe had goodwill towards this genius!

Afterwards, he followed Poole to the lava pool at the core of the Molten Core.

Looking at the golden magma that kept falling from above, Li Si was a little amazed.

The last time I approached, I was in a hurry and only took a quick glance at the environment here.

Now, not only was he standing here openly, but the dwarf demigod Poole beside him also considerately opened a heat-resistant shield for him to protect him from the scorching heat here.

This huge difference in treatment was worth all the effort he put in.

Li Si could feel that the blazing golden magma before his eyes was the source of the special fire elements that filled the Molten Core.

Apparently, this was a special method used by the dwarves to condense the lava power of the entire Sotiga volcano to create this wonder.

"Little Reese, this is the core of the Molten Core."

"This golden magma possesses the unique power of the fire element, as well as the unique power blessed by the god of forging, Samaikhar. It has a significant positive effect on the forged equipment."

Poole pointed to the fiery golden magma in front of him and said to Li Si:

"Adding this special magma during the forging process can not only greatly improve the overall strength of the equipment, but also significantly increase its tolerance for extraordinary power."

Then, Poole looked at Li Si and said with a smile:

"So, this place is of great help in forging holy weapons and semi-divine weapons."

"Most of the clan's sacred artifacts and semi-sacred artifacts were forged here."

"Little Reese, I hope to witness the day when you accomplish this great feat."

Looking at Poole's kind and expectant eyes, Li Si could only smile and reply:
"Lord Poole, I will try my best."

"Haha."

Poole smiled and patted Li Si on the shoulder, saying nonchalantly:
"Don't be nervous or put too much pressure on yourself. I think with your talent, you will be able to do this sooner or later."

"You can wander around freely. With my protection, nothing will happen."

"Uh-huh."

Li Si nodded and looked around.

In the rock wall of the lava pool, Li Si noticed a somewhat unique cave.

It is filled with many daily necessities and even many thriving green plants.

This should be Poole's residence, right?

Thinking about this, Li Si remembered his previous plan.
