I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means Chapter 1218 - 702: The Dwarf Clan’s Heritage (Part 2)

After all, during this period, Tomun had basically introduced Lis to all the Forging Masters at the Iron Hamr Workshop.

Upon witnessing Lis’s young age and forging skills, the Forging Masters began to guide him in unspoken agreent.

Therefore, when Lis got this opportunity, none of the other Forging Masters had any objections.

"Of course, I want to go!"

Upon hearing Tomun’s inquiry, Lis responded without any hesitation.

In fact, the Kane Floating City controlled by Lis was more valuable than a Holy Artifact or a Half-God Artifact.

However, the two cannot be directly compared in terms of value.

Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts represent individual power of a higher and stronger rank.

This was extrely tempting for Lis.

It’s an opportunity that no Forging Master pursuing higher goals would want to miss.

"Alright."

Tomun nodded with a smile and said:

"There’s still a lot of follow-up work to be done by the temple and the Royal Court on this matter."

"It might take a few days before you are allowed to get in contact with the Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts."

"Take this ti to rest, don’t overwork yourself, conserve your energy, and be prepared."

Tomun nodded and stared at Lis intently.

Then he walked away with a satisfied smile.

I have to say, a lot of recent events have suited his intentions well.

He even felt for a mont that Mora was scheming.

After Tomun left, Lis exchanged a few words with Nidir before heading back to his room.

For Lis, getting the opportunity to co into contact with the Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts was certainly a good thing.

But undoubtedly, the location of the Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts would definitely be at the core of Lonely Mountain City.

That place would certainly be under the most stringent surveillance and protection by the strongest of the Dwarf Clan.

Lis wasn’t truly a Dwarf.

If his identity were exposed there, it would be quite troubleso.

So in the coming days, Lis had to make more preparations.

...

A few days later,

Lis followed behind Tomun, heading in the direction of the Dwarf King Palace in Lonely Mountain City.

Along the way, Lis noticed that the traces of the fierce battle in Lonely Mountain City had been cleared up, and order had basically returned to normal.

Except for so damaged buildings under repair, the overall atmosphere of the entire Lonely Mountain City was slightly somber, and the Dwarves had almost moved on from the shadow of the Evil God believers’ attack.

Of course, this was also because of Dwarf King Preston’s overwhelming strength that day, which had given most of the Dwarves a greater sense of confidence.

Soon, under Tomun’s guidance, Lis arrived at the Dwarf King Palace.

There, at the heart of the Dwarf Royal Capital at the mountain’s summit, stood a majestic building that surpassed this worldly realm.

Unlike the low Dwarf structures in Lonely Mountain City, the Dwarf King Palace towered over the carefully arranged low houses below.

Like stars surrounding the moon, these buildings further highlighted the extraordinary and noble nature of the palace.

The palace was carved from massive stones, each stone seemingly bearing the millennia of resilience and wisdom of the Dwarf Clan, with its surface engraved with rough yet orderly patterns.

These patterns were grand epics carved into stone by Dwarf Craftsn using their hamrs and chisels.

So patterns resembled rushing lava, showcasing the Dwarf Clan’s reverence for fire and strength;

So patterns seed like overlapping mountains, reflecting the natural environnt of the Dwarf Clan’s holand.

Each line held a primal call, compelling one to feel the primitive yet pure beauty of the Dwarf Clan.

The palace’s silhouette appeared even more solemn under the first light of dawn, as golden sunlight draped it in a layer of holy radiance.

The towering spire pointed straight to the sky, as if it were a bridge connecting heaven and earth, conveying the dignity and oracle of the Dwarf Royal Family.

As Lis stepped into the Dwarf King Palace, he felt an extrely subtle wave sweeping over his body.

A rather advanced Detection Array?

Lis had so suspicions in his mind.

However, Lis was ntally prepared beforehand.

Under his full defense, it seed like nothing went wrong.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Lis hurriedly sped up to catch up with Tomun.

Inside the Dwarf King Palace, it was not as deserted as Lis had imagined.

Dwarf Guards with solemn expressions could be seen everywhere, guarding various parts of the palace, closely monitoring everyone’s activities.

There were also many hurried Dwarves, seemingly wearing official robes, clutching nurous scrolls, seemingly with much work to handle.

Tomun appeared quite familiar with the palace and led Lis straight to the rear of the palace.

As they walked, Tomun whispered to Lis:

"Although His Majesty Preston doesn’t care much about protocol, it’s better not to wander around casually."

"Next ti there’s a chance, I’ll take you to visit the palace’s collection room."

"There are many masters’ works there; you should be quite interested."

Tomun said with a smile.

In fact, there are many interesting places in the Dwarf Royal Court.

However, based on Lis’s shown preferences, Tomun didn’t introduce other places to him.

Soon, Tomun led Lis to a seemingly unremarkable small house at the rear of the palace.

Although it appeared inconspicuous, there were noticeably more guards around this place compared to others.

Lis understood this must be a very important place in the palace.

At this point, Tomun couldn’t just freely take Lis inside.

Only after a Dwarf servant repeatedly confird Tomun and Lis’s identities, did he lead them into the house.

Upon entering, Lis sensed the subtle space fluctuation and the silver-white space portal in front of him.

He imdiately understood where the Dwarf Clan stored their Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts.

A small world exclusive to the Dwarf Clan!

Lis marveled to himself.

They hadn’t suffered yet!

Like most extraordinary forces nowadays, they still thought small worlds were the safest places.

Lis knew it wouldn’t be long before the Phillips Crystal opened these owned small worlds.

The question was whether the Dwarf Clan could respond in ti and relocate the storage of Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts.

Without saying more, Lis and Tomun followed the servant into the silver-white space portal.

After a dizzying mont, Lis arrived in an entirely new small world.

This was a desolate and isolated small world, with boundless desert and barren land stretching as far as the eye could see.

Fierce winds willfully swept up sand and dust, roaring towards them like beasts.

The sand stung on the face, causing a tingling pain.

Looking around, there was only a vast expanse of yellow sand, devoid of any sign of life or greenery, as if this land had never nurtured life.

Yet beneath this seemingly lifeless surface lay hidden secrets unknown to anyone.

The concentration of magical power in this small world was unusually high, almost condensing into substance.

A thick layer of magic filled the air, giving a heavy sense of pressure.

This magic was different from elsewhere; it was rich and pure, like the lifeblood of the earth flowing through this desolate desert.

Lis secretly marveled inside.

This truly has been fortunate for him!

Amidst the vast and boundless desert, the only buildings in sight were those dozen or so strategically scattered, brownish-yellow towers standing tall in the heart of the wasteland.

The towers were veiled by the desert sands, their outlines barely discernible to the naked eye, adding a touch of tiless beauty to their weathered surfaces.

The surface of the towers, eroded by the sand and wind, seed to tell a story of age-old endurance and artistry.

Tomun pointed toward the distant brownish-yellow towers with a solemn expression.

Lis was amazed as he looked at those towers.

He could sense a certain potent protective force emanating from the towers.

It was of Divine Level protection, sothing not within Lis’s current capability to overco.

But if Tomun wasn’t mistaken...

The Dwarf Clan actually stores their Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts there.
