Chapter 825 -510: Sarmekhale’s Copper Ring and Matteus’s Magic Ring
“What?”
Hearing the young man in front of him who seemed to be a noble saying he wanted to buy his ring, Blair instinctively took a step back.
“I mean the ring on your hand.”
(*´∀`)σ
Lis pointed again at the ring on Blair’s hand and said with a smile.
“Sir, this is just an ordinary ring, but it is very important to me.”
At this moment, Blair didn’t care about the Hei Malou who brought him here, saying reluctantly.
Just after hearing Lis wanted his ring, Blair’s heart suddenly tightened, as if gripped by an invisible hand.
This brass ring was his greatest secret, deeply hidden in his heart, never revealed to anyone, not even his closest confidants. Yet now, it was casually pointed out by Lis.
The tone of speaking, as if it were a very ordinary matter.
Blair felt a chill rising from the bottom of his feet, quickly spreading to his entire body, causing him to shiver involuntarily, and a wave of cold ran through him.
However, years of experience as a traveling merchant allowed Blair to quickly control his emotions and face Lis calmly.
Blair knew well that in the face of this unexpected event, staying calm was his only way out.
Although this person in front of him was young, it was hard to tell whether he was a professional or not. Regardless, his aura and status had Blair completely suppressed.
For some reason, Blair had no thought of running away at all; it seemed he could only stand there obediently, facing Lis.
“Sorry, this might be a bit sudden.”
“Please sit down!”
Lis pointed to the seat beside him and said with a smile to Blair.
Though feeling uneasy, Blair sat down beside Lis.
While pouring black ale into Blair’s cup, Lis said with a smile:
“My name is Lis Kain, the leader of the White Dove Mercenary Corps.”
“This ring of yours, although it looks very ordinary, it is actually a storage ring, isn’t it?”
“…Yes.”
Blair said with some difficulty. When Lis pointed out the ring earlier, he had a premonition.
“I don’t know how you figured it out?”
“I have my ways.”
Lis shook his head and said with a smile.
Actually, when he first laid eyes on Blair, he secretly used his spiritual power to probe the brass ring on Blair’s hand.
The result was nothing; in Lis’s perception, it was as if Blair wasn’t wearing anything on his hand at all.
It was precisely this result that confirmed Lis’s previous speculation.
This Blair was the future chairman of the Iron Hammer Commerce, and he vaguely resembled that old man.
The ring in his hand should be the [Sarmekhal’s Copper Ring].
Lis knew about the existence of [Sarmekhal’s Copper Ring] from a plot introduction in his past life.
In the previous life, in the plot of the Fanor Continent, compared to the Elves, Dwarves appeared more frequently in the Human Kingdoms, often serving as mercenaries while also providing excellent weapons and armor through their forging workshops—which was one of their racial talents.
Apart from the Dwarves scattered within the Human Kingdoms, most Dwarves were concentrated in the Jianuo Mountain Range in the central-western part of the continent, existing in the form of tribes and city-states.
Because the Jianuo Mountain Range contained many minerals and had underground magma as a heat source, it was the best home for Dwarves who loved forging and ores.
Many forging masters existed among the Dwarves, and many legendary equipment pieces were crafted by them.
As for [Sarmekhal], it was the name of the God of Lava, Flame, and Forging.
Although this deity possessed only weak divine power, he was an assistant to Moradin, the main god of the Dwarf God System.
In a certain sense, calling him the second greatest forging deity among the Dwarven gods was accurate.
Thus, aside from Moradin, he was one of the most revered deities among the Dwarven craftsmen.
He greatly influenced the Dwarves’ forging skills, creating many forging methods and techniques. Many legendary equipment pieces bore the name [Sarmekhal] to honor this deity.
However, the [Sarmekhal’s Ring] wasn’t a particularly powerful transcendent weapon.
In essence, the ring was truly just a storage ring, but what set it apart was its creator.
[Matthias Hammer]!
Humans might not know this name well, but in Dwarven history, he was a significant figure.
It was said that on the night Matthias Hammer was born, the casting volcano erupted with unprecedented light, illuminating the entire mountain range.
The sea of magma within the mountain boiled more violently, as if some mysterious force was brewing. At that moment, a strange light sphere slowly rose from the center of the magma, the light gradually dimming to reveal a Dwarf, small in stature yet brimming with an endless life force—this was Matthias Hammer.
When Matthias was born, he was surrounded by mysterious runes made of fire, runes deriving from the God of Lava, Flame, and Forging, [Sarmekhal]. These runes granted him the talent to control both fire and metal, with a small body harboring astonishing potential.
Even more astonishing, the moment he set foot on the ground, he could communicate with the surrounding fire elements, calming the raging magma, as if he was the offspring of the mountain’s spirit, naturally endowed with the ability to harness this power of nature.
