Although, as a Demigod, Puer can dispel the drunkenness through special means. But that would take away the fun. Drinking without getting drunk is no different from drinking water, is it? It’s not enjoyable at all! This is the habit of the Dwarfs, who love fine wine and won’t stop until they are drunk. Puer is no exception. With Puer’s strength, ordinary wine can hardly make him drunk anymore. But the wine in the [Eternal Brew] can still get Puer drunk without any problem. Of course, Puer isn’t careless. As a Demigod, even if he gets drunk, he can detect any approaching threat in an instant. Moreover, with the protection arranged by Ris and the [Eternal Brew]’s safeguard, there’s nothing to worry about. So, without any concerns, Puer started to enjoy the wine from the [Eternal Brew] cheerfully. Ris sat beside Puer, slowly drinking while quickly topping up Puer’s wine glass. At the same time, he respectfully asked Puer about some cultivation precautions and the recent happenings in Lonely Mountain City. Puer was in high spirits, drinking heartily and chatting with Ris. Or rather, he started to "boast" loudly. After an unknown amount of time, Puer, his face flushed, suddenly fell backward. His body hit the ground heavily, yet he seemed unfazed, sleeping soundly immediately. Seeing this, Ris wiped the sweat from his forehead. Ris estimated that Puer had drunk over a hundred cups of the [Eternal Brew]. Ris had tried it himself, and without dispelling the drunkenness, he could only handle twenty to thirty cups. The physique of a Dwarf Demigod is indeed unique! However, this also gave Ris an extremely rare opportunity. After acquiring the [Eternal Brew], the temple informed Ris of all the detailed information regarding this Holy Artifact. Ris knew very well that the drunkenness induced by the [Eternal Brew] could affect a Demigod Strongman. Moreover, judging from Puer’s previous friendly behavior, he didn’t suspect Ris’s identity. If that’s the case, Puer shouldn’t be pretending to be drunk to test him. However, even so, Ris was not careless at all. He normally helped Puer onto the bed to rest, tidied up the table a bit, and then came to the edge of the molten gold lava pool at the entrance of the cave. Looking at the golden lava pouring down from the top of the cave, Ris felt a bit emotional. Only an extraordinary force like the Dwarf Clan could control such secret realms, right? This is the fundamental strength and accumulation of a powerful race. For countless years, who knows how much of this special molten rock power has been accumulated by the [Heart of Molten Fire]. Ris now stood by the edge of the lava pool, carefully observing the source of power from the [Heart of Molten Fire]. He could feel that this intense golden lava in front of him was much stronger than the Fire Element Power permeating from the [Heart of Molten Fire]. Even without direct contact, Ris could sense if this intense golden lava were used as a forging fuel, the effect would be elevated even further. After becoming a Forging Master, various beneficial auxiliary effects were not as prominent, A small enhancement could constitute a significant breakthrough. And for a Forging Master, the [Heart of Molten Fire] is indeed an extremely rare treasure land. Looking at the lava pool in front of him, Ris prepared to give it a try. The closer he got to this lava pool, the stronger Ris felt the call. Without turning back, Ris could sense that Puer was still snoring loudly in his sleep on the bed. Regardless of whether the other party could detect him or not, Ris decided not to procrastinate any longer. Ris attempted to extend his hand toward the intense golden lava pool. As he was about to touch the lava, it seemed to be repelled by some force, voluntarily retreating. It must be the protective power Puer had bestowed upon him. Though with Ris’s strength, this intense golden lava was extremely hot, it was not enough to harm him. However, it’s better to be cautious in Puer’s presence. After "testing" it, Ris determined that the lava indeed posed no danger before leaping into the lava pool. Ris’s figure disappeared, and outside was calm, with Puer still soundly asleep and snoring loudly. Ris submerged into the intense golden lava, surrounded by a torrent of scorching hot streams. In sight, besides the bubbling lava, it was hard to find any trace of other objects. In this scorching hell, only some extremely heat-resistant peculiar materials tenaciously merged with the lava and flowed around. Beside the lava, the dark red cliffs stood tall and majestic, enduring countless years of lava erosion and baptism, yet remaining resilient, with hardness and resilience comparable to some precious metals in the world. These walls, like loyal guardians of this lava world, stood firm despite the turbulent lava. Ris’s gaze penetrated the intense golden lava, looking into the distance. Upon entering the lava pool, Ris realized the space beneath was much larger than he had imagined. The visible lava pool was like the mouth of a gourd, with a vast space hidden below. Within this space was all the intense golden lava accumulated over countless years by the [Heart of Molten Fire]. In the previous conversation with Puer, Puer enthusiastically introduced Ris to many aspects of the [Heart of Molten Fire]. For instance, this intense golden lava. After obtaining permission to enter the [Heart of Molten Fire], a general Forging Master could use the forging rooms built around. But they couldn’t touch this special intense golden lava. Even Forging Masters need to pay a high price to exchange this precious resource from the temple. Even so, what’s exchangeable is minimal. In fact, this intense golden lava obtained through special means is reserved for the Dwarf Clan to forge Half-God Artifacts and Holy Artifacts. It’s fundamentally not for those Forging Masters to create Legendary Equipment. Ris, after delving into this intense golden lava, quickly sensed a slight special power fluctuation below. The power emitting from it seemed somewhat similar to the surrounding intense golden lava. Is this a special treasure of the [Heart of Molten Fire]? Ris looked downward, speculating in his heart. He was sure this wasn’t the [Matteus’s Magic Ring]. Because he sensed the ring’s fluctuation coming from another direction. First, get the ring, then check it out if there’s time. Ris glanced downward, then advanced forward. As Ris moved in the lava, the ring’s fluctuation grew ever stronger. Soon, Ris halted his advance. He could feel that the ring’s fluctuation was coming from just one meter within the lava in front of him. But no matter how he observed, he discovered no trace of the ring. Ris tentatively reached forward, yet no matter how he touched the position where the ring’s fluctuation came from, he found nothing. It seemed there was nothing but lava there, completely empty. Ris was somewhat puzzled but not rushed; he calmed down. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel~fire~net If it were so easily discovered, the [Matteus’s Magic Ring] would have been taken by the Dwarf Clan long ago. Knowing that the ring forged by Matteus is essentially a Holy Artifact. Its preciousness is self-evident. Ris meticulously explored the area in front, finally noticing an extremely subtle spot, devouring the intense golden lava at an almost imperceptible speed. Ris focused on this point, but no matter how he examined it, all he could feel was emptiness beyond the lava, as if there was nothing but a void. What if, beyond that point, was the [Matteus’s Magic Ring]? Ris kept his eyes locked on that spot, and without hesitation, he pressed the copper ring onto the area of lava. As soon as the [Sarmekhale’s copper ring] touched the spot, it adhered to another ring emitting a faint rainbow color. As the [Sarmekhal’s copper ring] approached, it attracted another ring that emitted a faint multicolored glow. A slight smile crossed Ris’s face. [Matteus’s Magic Ring]!
