Chapter 538 Mateus's Treasure

After thinking for a while, Li Si got up and left the camp, and came to a tall sand dune in the distance.

The people in the caravan here could not observe Li Si's situation here.

Li Si rubbed the brass ring on his hand, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

A familiar feeling of dizziness came over him, as if he had experienced a space teleportation, and Li Si appeared in the room he had just observed.

"I really didn't expect that Mateus could fix such a space in a ring. It's really amazing."

"Is this the ability of a master craftsman?"

Li Si felt a little emotional, and walked into this study designed for dwarves, and immediately felt a unique atmosphere.

The layout of the room is compact and practical, and every detail reveals the consideration of the dwarf's stature.

The height of the desk and bookshelf is obviously lower than the regular size. For dwarves, this design allows them to easily read books and work comfortably at their desks.

But this seems a bit cramped for the tall Li Si. He has to bend down slightly to conveniently flip through the books on the shelf or write on the table.

The furniture in the study was made quite solid, with hard and wear-resistant wood, which was obviously specially selected to withstand the powerful strength of the dwarves.

Each piece of furniture exudes a calm and solid atmosphere. Even the heaviest books piled on it do not shake at all. It is obvious that Mateus has put a lot of thought here.

Li Si walked to the desk, looked at it for a few times, and then reached out to touch it.

Unlike the books and drawings that were randomly placed around and looked a bit messy, this brown scroll was placed right in the center of the desk.

He even cleaned up the debris on the desk for this purpose and placed this scroll alone there, which was the most conspicuous.

Did Mateus deliberately put the scroll here?

Was it for the later ones?

Li Si did not feel any extraordinary power from this scroll.

However, he was still cautious and prepared to exit this space at any time.

After all, it was the top legendary Mateus who left these things, so it was always right to be careful.

Nothing happened when Li Si held the scroll.

He breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the scroll from the table.

Feeling the rough touch on his hand, Li Si spread out the scroll in his hand.

What appeared in front of Li Si was a parchment scroll full of dwarven characters and blocks.

[Welcome to my workshop, junior!

I am Mateus Hammer. Maybe you haven't heard of my name, but you have a good talent in casting to be recognized by this ring!

Getting this ring is equivalent to getting my inheritance]

Li Si carefully checked the records on this scroll.

The scroll left by Mateus recorded what he told his juniors.

However, perhaps because he felt that the person who got the ring was a dwarf, many of the instructions were about the dwarf kingdom.

But these didn't mean much to Li Si.

Most of the information left by Mateus was about memories and nostalgia of past life, and he didn't make any special requests to the person who got the ring.

Therefore, these records are not of much value except for letting Li Si know some gossips inside the Dwarf Kingdom.

However, some records at the back of the scroll still aroused Li Si's interest.

First of all, the cause of Mateus' death.

In Li Si's experience in the Dwarf Kingdom in his previous life, there was no introduction to the cause of the death of this Dwarf forging master.

Some people speculate that Mateus entered the kingdom of the Dwarf gods after his lifespan was exhausted.

However, this is not something that deserves others' attention. Many legends disappear silently like this.

Today Li Si got the answer.

Mateus did not die of exhaustion, but died of failure on the road to godhood.

Although he still had time to leave a will, his soul collapsed and he did not even have the opportunity to enter the kingdom of God.

Even though he was one of the leaders of the Dwarf Kingdom, the top legend, and the son of the god Samaikhar, Mateus could not reach the end of the road to godhood and successfully ignite the divine fire to raise the kingdom of God.

You can imagine how difficult the road to godhood is!

In this scroll, Mateus did not describe in detail the details of his journey to the Godhood, but he also provided some suggestions for later.

First, carefully choose the priesthood field on the road to the Godhood!

Each priesthood field corresponds to a certain aspect of the world rules of the Gaia world and represents the power of different directions.

Priesthoods are strong or weak, which varies from person to person, but it does not mean that the stronger the priesthood you choose, the better.

Because this may bring you great trouble.

After all, many gods have appeared in the Gaia world for countless years.

Most priesthood fields are also controlled by a certain god.

Perhaps because of his own resentment, Mateus recorded this aspect in great detail. The knowledge he mastered about the priesthood field should come from the dwarf gods, so it is quite reliable.

The priesthood field corresponds to different world rules of the Gaia world, and can be mastered by multiple gods together.

But there are exceptions.

If a certain god can fully comprehend and master the world rules corresponding to the priesthood, then unless he himself is willing, no one else can interfere with this priesthood.

It's like obtaining the exclusive agency rights of the Gaia world.

If it is a weak priesthood, it is relatively easy to be fully mastered, but the stronger the corresponding world rules, the more difficult it is to fully master.

Similarly, if you can master a high-level priesthood, it is a symbol of absolute strength.

For example, the [Light] priesthood mastered by the Lord of Dawn, Losanda, and the [Earth] priesthood mastered by the Earth Mother Goddess, Changtiya.

But most gods can't do this, so they can't stop others from condensing the corresponding priesthood.

The power of the Gaia world corresponding to the priesthood is only so much, just like a glass of water, if a part is taken away by others, the power you control will be reduced.

This is something that the gods can't tolerate.

If you can't stop others from condensing the priesthood, wouldn't it be better to eliminate them in the "germination" stage?

This is something that cannot be avoided.

In the case of those who come first, the way forward for those who come later will be more difficult.

After all, the process of igniting the divine fire and ascending the throne will be responded to by the Gaia world.

As long as the ascension ceremony begins, you can no longer hide your existence.

At the same time, the divine domain that he has condensed will also be exposed to the whole world and the gods.

At this time, it is clear who is the enemy and who is the friend.

Although it is difficult for the gods to take action inside the Gaia world, there are many ways to attack the enemy.

After becoming a god, you can't stay in the kingdom of God all the time. Abandoning believers is equivalent to slow death.

But Mateus's situation is different.

Perhaps as a man of the dwarf kingdom, the son of Samaikhar, the god of lava, fire and forging, he has entered the sight of the gods very early.

Before he finished the road to godhood and started the ascension ceremony, a god secretly attacked him.

Mateus also failed because of this, and regretted it so much that he didn't let it go until his death.

That's why he emphasized it in this scroll.

Li Si is not worried about the choice of the divine domain.

He must choose [Wisdom] as his core domain and rely on the Sphinx ascension technique.

In the field of [Wisdom] priesthood, he is definitely a unique existence, with no forerunners and no one capable of competing with him.

But it also made Li Si realize one thing.

That is, if he really became a god through the Sphinx Ascension Technique, then the fact that he mastered the [Wisdom] priesthood would be known to all gods.

This powerful and unique priesthood would definitely attract the covetousness and greed of quite a few gods.

It's quite troublesome.

Li Si shook his head slightly.

The second point to pay attention to on the road to godhood is to cultivate believers in advance.

If the priesthood is the foundation of the power of the gods and the most dazzling gem in the gorgeous house, then the power of faith is the civil engineering of this house.

For many legends, relying on their poems and rumors circulated in the Gaia world is enough for them to embark on the road to godhood, but they are just barely qualified.

Mateus reminded in the scroll that if there is not enough support from the power of faith, it is easy to backfire due to unstable foundation, and the road to godhood will collapse.

It is very important to cultivate your own believers, and the more believers the better.

Mateus reminded the younger generation that if there is no other way, they can ask the Dwarf Kingdom for help.

The most solid and reliable source of faith is racial faith.

This is also the reason why there are the most racial gods.

However, Li Si is not very worried about this. First, these things are still far away from him. He can only get in touch with this level after he breaks through the legend.

Second, he has also made preparations. His duchy and [Wrath of Nature] are the foundation of his future faith.

This is also what Teacher Stephens and Uncle Joyce have mentioned.

The third thing that Mateus needs to pay attention to is that on the way to the godhood, even after becoming a god and igniting the divine fire, he must maintain his self and not get lost in the powerful power.

Compared with Mateus, there is not much explanation, perhaps he is also a little unclear, and it is the revelation from the dwarf gods.

But Li Si vaguely understands what this means.

Just like the lich Li Si met before, although he had a long and almost infinite lifespan, his consciousness would also be eroded by the power of the undead, and eventually he would lose his true self and turn into a crazy and evil undead creature.

Compared with the power of the undead, the power of the gods is also more powerful and more corrosive.

In the history of the Gaia world, there have been many cases where the gods shifted their own camps due to the influence of the power of their own priesthood.

From good to evil,

From law to chaos.

It is difficult to tell whether this is the choice of the gods' own will or a passive change.

But Li Si could hardly imagine that one day, he would also become a demon prince who despised life and did whatever it took under the influence of divine power.

Maybe he really should pay attention!

Li Si reminded himself silently in his heart, and then put away the scroll.

The last part of this scroll recorded the relevant information of the [Mathias's Ring].

But what Li Si did not expect was that Mateus placed this ring where he was born.

In the lava river at the core of the Sotyga volcano in the dwarf kingdom.

That was Mateus's last and most powerful work. He placed it there to absorb the power of the volcano, but before he could take it out, Mateus was gone.

The ring in Li Si's hand can open the magic circle that protects the magic ring, but the difficulty is how to enter the Sotyga volcano.

That is the holy mountain of the dwarves. Li Si once looked at the black and red volcano from the dwarf king's capital, but no one except the dwarves is allowed to enter there.

I have to think of a way!

Li Si frowned slightly, and then relaxed.

No matter!

The harvest this time is quite good. I will try the magic ring when I leave the desert!

After leaving the study and stepping into the foundry workshop, Li Si seemed to have entered a completely different world.

Compared with the exquisiteness and compactness of the study, it seems spacious and open here. The air here seems to be filled with the unique cold and hot atmosphere of metal.

In a corner of the workshop, piles of materials come into view. They flash with an attractive luster and reveal extraordinary value.

Mithril, a rare and mysterious metal in the eyes of the world, is neatly stacked in the corner at this moment, and refined gold, which is the raw material for forging top weapons and armor due to its toughness and solidity, is also piled aside.

In addition, there are various colorful and precious materials and gems of different properties, lying quietly in the workshop, as if waiting to be given new life by the hands of craftsmen.

As expected of the dwarf legend, these precious materials are as free as they can be!

Li Si sighed, and then turned his eyes to the other side.

The casting tools and furnaces in the workshop are also special. Not only are there many types, but each one reveals an extraordinary level of craftsmanship. Pliers, hammers, molds...

Most of these tools are made of precious alloys or special metals, and some are even inlaid with magic runes to enhance their durability and precision. Li Si can imagine how Mateus created exquisite works here with the help of such tools.

Now they are all mine!

The walls of the workshop are full of various weapons and armors, some of which are extremely sharp, some are extremely strong, and each one is the result of Mateus's hard work.

These are not finished products, but unfinished works and failed products of Mateus, but they are quite experimental and are left behind.

What a treasure trove!

Li Si touched everything in the workshop and thought silently in his heart.

I didn't expect that there would be such a strange space in the ring I got. There are still many secrets in the Gaia world waiting for me to explore!

Li Si sighed while stuffing the precious metals in the workshop into his storage ring.

It is most important to put it in your pocket!
