I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

However, unfortunately, this didn't have any effect on Lis.

Earlier, Lis had already figured out this protective array and easily left it without alerting anyone.

Lis stood on the street surrounding the Iron Hammer Workshop, observing this Dwarf Capital.

For the past few days, he had mostly stayed in the Iron Hammer Workshop and hadn't explored the city.

As the capital of the Dwarf Kingdom and the most important place for the Dwarf Clan on the Fanor Continent, Lonely Mountain City had become a symbol of the Dwarf Kingdom over the years.

Here, it's not just a symbol of the Dwarf Royal Court, but also the temple worshiping the Dwarf Gods is located here.

But what made Lis curious was that he hadn't found the location of the Dwarf Temple.

The entire Lonely Mountain City is quite large, and the most striking thing is, of course, the Dwarf King Palace located in the center of the city.

Compared to other buildings in Lonely Mountain City, the Dwarf King Palace appeared grander and more majestic.

The Dwarf Clan and the Elf Clan both excel in constructing various buildings, but due to the differences in aesthetics and living environments, their architectural styles are vastly different.

The architecture of the Elf Clan merges more harmoniously with the forest and is more delicate and beautiful.

Meanwhile, the architecture of the Dwarf Clan primarily uses dark-toned stone, appearing rugged and grand, much like the nature of the Dwarves themselves.

However, Lis wasn't focused on this.

It was his first time in Lonely Mountain City, and he had some understanding of it based on prior information he had received.

Yet, aside from the Dwarf King Palace, Lis hadn't discovered where the Dwarf Temple was located.

This was strange.

Lis had been to many places, and in most cities, the temple is usually second only to the ruler's residence in terms of prominence.

In many cities, the temple is even more conspicuous than the City Lord's Mansion or the Royal Palace.

To attract followers, the Church of the Gods would build their temples in a magnificent and grand style, not only showcasing their strength but also attracting the potential followers' attention, greatly aiding in the spread of their faith.

Yet in Lonely Mountain City, Lis had toured around without finding the location of the Dwarf Temple.

Lis was a bit curious.

Apart from the Dwarf King Palace and a few noticeable forging workshops, there seemed to be no building that could be the temple.

This was quite different.

Even in the Elf Capital, the Elf Holy Hall that worships the Elf Gods is in the city's most prominent location.

If it's not on Lonely Mountain City, could it be underground?

Lis pondered for a moment, having some speculation in mind.

In fact, Lonely Mountain City has a fairly large underground space, which are all old mines previously excavated by the Dwarves, left from a long time ago.

Many mines have been abandoned, but many have been reinforced and preserved by the Dwarves and are of considerable use.

Based on the information Lis received, many areas of the mines in Lonely Mountain City are not allowed to be entered casually.

It seems that many secrets of the Dwarf Kingdom are hidden there.

If so, the Dwarf Temple is very likely there.

Should I explore some of the mines in Lonely Mountain City?

Lis was somewhat hesitant.

The real reason he wanted to determine the situation of the Dwarf Temple was actually for the [Heart of Molten Fire].

According to information he learned from Tomun, the [Heart of Molten Fire] is considered a Holy Land of the Dwarf Kingdom and has been guarded by the Dwarf Temple.

Legend has it that Lonely Mountain City was once the territory of the Dwarf Main God Moradin, and the Heart of Molten Fire is the birthplace of the Dwarf Forging God Sarmekhal.

That's why [Heart of Molten Fire] is so highly regarded by Sarmekhal.

Moreover, Tomun cryptically mentioned to Lis that if Lis learns quickly, there's a special opportunity waiting for him at [Heart of Molten Fire].

Upon hearing this, Lis immediately felt less hurried.

It seems Iron Hammer Workshop does value him as a genius.

With Tomun's promise, Lis wasn't too worried about how to enter the [Heart of Molten Fire] in the future.

But a new problem was now before Lis.

Which was how to deal with the demigod guardian at the [Heart of Molten Fire].

At that time, Lis sensed that [Matteus's Magic Ring] was in the lava pool at the core of [Heart of Molten Fire].

And that demigod remained by the lava pool. Even if Lis successfully entered the [Heart of Molten Fire], acquiring that [Matteus's Magic Ring] would be quite troublesome.

If he directly takes out that magic ring, due to its special significance to the Dwarf Kingdom, even if Lis is a rare forging genius, it would be difficult to keep the ring.

However, trying to secretly take out [Matteus's Magic Ring] from that demigod's watch is challenging.

Lis must find a way to safely take the ring without being discovered.

In fact, Lis wanted to find the Dwarf Temple to find a way from there.

Even letting that Demigod Level Strongman temporarily leave the [Heart of Molten Fire] would work; Lis is confident in being able to take the magic ring from [Heart of Molten Fire] unnoticed by the few legendary beings there.

Anyway, he should go and look.

What if there's a discovery?

Lis thought it over before making up his mind and walked toward the entrance of the nearest underground passage.

At that moment, Lis suddenly felt an extremely intense wave erupting in the eastern region of Lonely Mountain City.

This is... a legendary battle aura?

Lis swiftly turned around, frowning, looking east.

Is there a legendary battle right in Lonely Mountain City?

This surely isn't a legendary strongman from the Dwarf Clan; the aura isn't similar.

For some reason, Lis felt a strange sensation as he sensed the legendary auras in this confrontation.

After hesitating for a moment, Lis quickly concealed himself and rushed in that direction.

For whatever reason, two legendary beings were fighting right in Lonely Mountain City, which was a provocation to the Dwarf Kingdom.

The Dwarf Clan's legendary strongmen would soon arrive at the scene; Lis needed to be cautious and not leave any trace.

He already felt several powerful legendary auras appearing in Lonely Mountain City, rapidly heading towards the combat zone.

But when Lis approached the battlefield and saw the situation between the combatants, he was taken aback.

In the center of the battlefield, a Day Elf stood proudly, his figure appearing especially slender and mysterious under the moonlight.

And that demigod remained by the lava pool. Even if Lis successfully entered the [Heart of Molten Fire], acquiring that [Matteus's Magic Ring] would be quite troublesome.

If he directly takes out that magic ring, due to its special significance to the Dwarf Kingdom, even if Lis is a rare forging genius, it would be difficult to keep the ring.
