I ascend to the throne of God with arcane magic.

Chapter 718 Mateus's Ring!
Molten Core,

Lees noticed Poole's residence.

It seems that the other party is in Molten Core and has been living here when he has nothing to do.

Before entering Molten Core, Li Si had imagined many possibilities.

After all, if he really succeeds in entering the Molten Core, the biggest obstacle for him to obtain the Ring of Mateus will be the demigod Poole.

As long as he is in the Molten Core, it will be quite troublesome to sneak into the magma pool at the core.

Even if we get Poole's permission by some means, it will definitely attract his attention.

After all, by showing unique talents and entering Molten Core, you will gain convenience and receive a lot of attention.

No one wants anything to happen to Reese, not even Poole, the demigod.

Therefore, if he wanted to get the [Ring of Mateus] without anyone noticing, he had to either let Poole temporarily leave [Molten Core] or make Poole unable to pay attention to Li Si's actions for a while.

Both of these requirements are difficult to achieve.

After all, Poole's demigod-level strength made it clear that it was almost impossible for Li Si to force the other party to surrender.

Then we can only resort to tricks.

And it just so happened that Li Si had such a person in his hands, which could temporarily prevent Poole from paying attention to Li Si's actions.

Li Si did not rush to look around, but said to Poole:
"Your Majesty Poole, I learned from Archbishop Leander that you are here. There are still many things that need your attention."

"I don't know how to thank you, or what you like."

"I brought some delicious food from Lonely Mountain City. I hope you like it."

Poole was a little surprised when he heard this.

This was the first time someone had brought him food in all the years he had been in Molten Core.

In fact, [Molten Core] is very close to Lonely Mountain, but due to his duties, Poole basically will not leave [Molten Core] and return to Lonely Mountain.

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

However, Poole was still somewhat happy about Li Si's kindness.

Poole smiled and said to Li Si:
"I didn't expect you would prepare these, little Reese. It's been a while since I had a good drink with anyone."

After that, Poole invited Reese to his residence.

Under thousands of years of high temperature, the rock wall has turned into a dark red rock layer like clotted blood. Fist-sized luminous crystals are embedded in the cracks between the rocks, dyeing the cave a dancing amber.

The furnishings in the center of the cave are simple. The stone bed is made of hexagonal basalt columns, and the stone table is a round object carved from a whole piece of obsidian.

What was truly amazing was the display around the cave walls. Many precious minerals were randomly placed in a corner of the room, while some weapons and equipment that emitted powerful fluctuations were steaming with evil spirits.

"Come on, sit down!"

Poole brought Reese to the table with a smile and sat down. He took out a lot of delicious food from the storage ring and placed it on the table.

As a demigod, Poole would naturally not lack for food.

"Come, try my treasure."

After saying that, Poole placed an emerald wine jug in front of Li Si.

Looking at the exquisite patterns on the wine jug and smelling the refreshing aroma of the wine, Li Si felt that this kind of wine seemed somewhat familiar to him.

"You probably haven't had this kind of wine before. Although it's a little weak, it still tastes pretty good."

"It's called Emerald Dream, and it's the wine made by those long-eared people."

"Although those long ears are annoying, I still like the fruit wine made from them."

Poole said to Li Si with a smile.

Soon, the food, drinks and wine he took out filled the table.

The wine of the elves, he is very familiar with it!

Li Si tasted the Emerald Dream with a smile and nodded slightly.

Back in the Forest of Elves, Li Si collected all kinds of fine wines from the elves in order to prepare a gift for Uncle Joyce.

Li Si was naturally very familiar with this Emerald Dream wine.

“It tastes really good.”

Li Si said with a smile, and then began to take things out.

First, he took out some special delicacies of Gushan City, and then Li Si took out a wine jug that looked somewhat special.

"Oh!"

Seeing the wine jug that Li Si took out, Poole said with some surprise:

"I forgot that the [Eternal Wine] is with you."

"What else can compare to the fine wine in [Eternal Wine]?"

Poole said with a smile, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

The fine wine in [Eternal Wine] can also slowly increase the physical strength of ordinary extraordinary professionals.

But for Poole, the wine had no other effect.

However, the wonderful taste of this wine alone made Poole look forward to it.

After all, even if he is a demigod of the dwarves, he can't just use the holy vessel [Eternal Wine] for personal enjoyment.

But it's different now,

[Eternal Wine] was given to Li Si by the temple and the royal court for use.

He took it out and offered Poole a little good wine, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Reese smiled and poured Poole a glass of Eternal Wine.

Poole picked up the wine glass, took a deep sniff of the intoxicating aroma of the wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Ha, cool!"

Poole exhaled and shouted heroically.

Li Si hurriedly refilled Poole's glass.

In just a short while, Poole had already drunk ten glasses of [Eternal Wine].

Even Poole, a demigod, had a hint of red on his face.

As a holy vessel, the wine in [Eternal Wine] almost concentrates all the power of this artifact.

Although the buff effect has no effect on Poole, the intoxication it brings is unavoidable.

Although, as a demigod, Poole can dispel drunkenness through special methods.

But that would be meaningless.

If you drink alcohol but don't get drunk, what's the difference between that and drinking water?
Not pleasant at all!
This is the habit of the dwarves who love fine wine. They will not stop until they are drunk.

Poole is no exception.

With Poole's strength, it would be difficult for him to get drunk with ordinary wine.

But the fine wine in [Eternal Wine] was enough to make Poole drunk.

Of course, Poole is not careless.

As a demigod, he could instantly sense if a threat approached him, even if he was drunk.

What's more, Reese has the defenses he has set up and the protection of [Eternal Wine], so he doesn't have to worry about anything.

So, without any worries, Poole happily enjoyed the fine wine of [Eternal Wine].

Reese sat next to Poole, drinking slowly while quickly filling Poole's glass with wine.

At the same time, he also respectfully asked Poole about some things to note in cultivation and his recent experiences in Lonely Mountain City.

Poole was in a good mood and chatted with Reese while drinking happily.

Or start bragging loudly.

I don’t know how long it’s been,
"Bang!" Poole, his face flushed, suddenly fell backwards.

His body fell heavily to the ground, but he felt nothing and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, Li Si wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Good guy!
Li Si estimated that Poole had drunk more than a hundred glasses of Eternal Wine.

Li Si tried it, and if he didn't get rid of the drunkenness, he could only drink twenty or thirty cups.

The physique of the dwarf demigod is indeed special!

However, this also gave Li Si an extremely rare opportunity.

After obtaining the [Eternal Wine], the temple told Reese all the detailed information about this holy artifact.

Li Si knew very well that the intoxication caused by [Eternal Wine] could work on powerful demigods.

Moreover, judging from the kindness Poole had shown before, he did not doubt Reese's identity.

If that was the case, Poole wouldn't have pretended to be drunk to test him.

However, even so, Li Si was not careless at all.

Instead, he helped Poole to the bed to rest, tidied the table simply, and then came to the golden magma pool in front of the cave entrance.

Looking at the golden magma falling from the top of the cave, Li Si felt a little emotional.

Only a supernatural force like the dwarves can control such a secret realm, right?

This is the foundation and accumulation of a powerful race.

Over countless years, no one knows how much of this special lava power the Molten Core has accumulated.

Li Si is now at the edge of the magma pool, carefully observing the source of power of this [Molten Core].

He could feel that the effect of the fiery golden magma before him was much stronger than the fire elemental power that permeated the Molten Core.

Even without any experience, Li Si could feel that if this golden magma was used as fuel for forging, the effect would be even better.

After becoming a Forging Master, the auxiliary effects of various buffs are not so obvious.

Every little bit of enhancement adds up to a huge breakthrough.

And [Molten Core] is truly an extremely rare treasure land for blacksmiths.

Looking at the magma pool in front of him, Li Si prepared to go down and give it a try.

The closer he got to the magma pool, the stronger the call Li Si felt.

Without looking back, Li Si could sense that Poole was still sleeping soundly in bed, snoring loudly.

Regardless of whether the other party would notice it or not, Li Si was not going to drag it on any longer.

Li Si tried to reach out to the pool of blazing golden magma.

When it was about to come into contact with the magma, the magma seemed to be isolated by some force and retreated on its own.

It should be the power that Pur is bestowing upon him.

Even with Li Si's strength, although the blazing golden magma was extremely hot, it was not enough to hurt him.

Still, it's better to be careful in Poole's presence.

After "testing" the situation, Reese confirmed that the magma in front of him was not dangerous, so he jumped into the magma pool.

Reese's figure disappeared, and outside was quiet. Poole was still unresponsive and sleeping soundly.

Li Si dived into the blazing golden magma and was surrounded by a boiling torrent.

As far as the eye can see, apart from the surging magma, it is almost impossible to find any trace of anything else.

In this blazing hell, there are only some extremely heat-resistant exotic substances that stubbornly fuse into the magma and flow around.

Next to the magma, dark red mountain walls stand majestically. They have experienced countless years of scouring and baptism by magma, but they are still tenacious. Their hardness and toughness are not inferior to some precious metals in the world.

These mountain walls are like loyal guards protecting this magma world. No matter how turbulent the magma is, they always stand firm.

Li Si's gaze penetrated the blazing golden magma and looked into the distance.

After entering the magma pool, Li Si discovered that the space underneath was much larger than he had imagined.

The magma pool on the surface is like the spout of a gourd, and there is an extremely vast space hidden underneath.

And in this space, there is all the fiery golden magma that has accumulated in the Molten Core for countless years.

In the previous conversation with Poole, Poole, who was in high spirits, introduced Li Si to a lot of things about Molten Core.

For example, this blazing golden magma.

After obtaining permission to enter the Molten Core, general forging masters can use the forging rooms built around it.

But they cannot use this special golden magma.

Even the forging masters have to pay a high price to exchange this precious resource from the temple.

Even so, very little can be exchanged.

In fact, this kind of golden magma gathered through special means is the resources accumulated by the dwarves in order to forge semi-artifacts and holy artifacts.

It is not for those forging masters to use to make legendary equipment.

After Li Si went deep into the fiery golden magma, he soon felt a slight fluctuation of special power below.

The power emitted is somewhat similar to the power of the surrounding golden magma.

Is this a special treasure in [Molten Core]?
Li Si looked down and guessed in his heart.

He was sure that this was not the [Mathias's Ring].

Because he sensed the ring's vibration coming from another direction.

Go get the ring first, and then go and have a look if you have time.

Li Si took a look below and moved forward.

As it moved in the magma, Li Si could feel the ring's fluctuations becoming stronger and stronger.

Not long after, Li Si stopped moving forward.

He could feel the vibrations from the ring in the magma one meter in front of him.

But no matter how he looked, he could not find any trace of the ring.

Li Si reached out his hand tentatively, but no matter how he touched the place where the ring's vibration came from, he found nothing.

It was as if there was nothing there except magma.

what's the situation?
Li Si was a little confused, but he didn't get anxious, but calmed down.

Yes, if it was so easy to be discovered, this [Mathias's Ring] would have been taken away by the dwarves long ago.

You know, the magic ring forged by Mateus is actually equivalent to a holy weapon.

You can imagine how precious it is.

Li Si carefully explored the space in front of him, and finally found a very tiny place in front of him that was swallowing up the fiery golden magma at an extremely slow speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

Is this the place?
Li Si stared at this, but no matter how he explored or injected magic power, there was no response.

After thinking for a while, Li Si took out the [Samekhar's Bronze Ring] and stretched it towards the strange place.

[Samekhar's Bronze Ring] As soon as Li Si got closer, he felt the ring in his hand begin to tremble slightly.

Ok?
That's how it should be.

Li Si felt slightly delighted, and without hesitation, he pressed the bronze ring directly into the lava.

Ding~
The crisp sound echoed in Li Si's ears.

Li Si noticed that on the side of [Samekhar's Copper Ring], there was another silver ring emitting faint colorful lights.

A powerful and obscure wave spread out!
really!

[Mathäus's Ring]!
