Chapter 868 -531 The Secret of Sarmekhale’s Copper Ring!_2
So, common matters increasingly failed to capture his attention.
Perhaps this was why legends rarely appeared before ordinary people?
However, the effort Lis invested in this copper ring wasn’t in vain.
While using his spiritual power to explore the copper ring, Lis was also silently nurturing it.
Just now, it seemed like he had broken through some boundary, and Lis suddenly felt the copper ring of Sarmekhal responding to his call.
This sensation was akin to the relief of marrying the goddess after immense struggles.
At the same time, new information appeared on Lis’s system panel.
—————–
…
[You have successfully triggered the judgment of Sarmekhal’s Copper Ring!]
[Starting judgment…]
[Judgment (1/3): Golden Rank Professional… Judgment passed!]
[Judgment (2/3): Successfully cast a Legendary Equipment or Item… Judgment passed!]
[Judgment (3/3): Dwarf race… Judgment failed!]
[Your talent [All-Purpose] effect has been triggered!]
(Effect: The restriction on using some Extraordinary Items is lowered!)
[The judgment requirements of Sarmekhal’s Copper Ring have lowered!]
[Judgment (3/3): Dwarf or Human race… Judgment passed!]
[All judgments passed!]
[You have successfully mastered Sarmekhal’s Copper Ring!]
—————–
Lis stroked the ring in his hand, feeling somewhat surprised.
As Lis fully mastered the ring, the matte copper surface seemed to glow as if the dust was wiped away, giving a renewed sense of vitality, imparting a lively feeling to Lis.
This copper ring indeed had issues!
Who would have thought that mastering this ring required such a special judgment, with extremely stringent requirements.
The condition of being a Golden Rank Professional was understandable, but successfully forging a piece of Legendary Equipment was quite extraordinary.
There were barely any on the entire Fanor Continent.
If others might have possibly met the first two conditions, the final judgment requirement undoubtedly confined the qualification to control the ring within the Dwarf Clan.
Perhaps that was the thought of Matteus Hammer.
Keeps the wealth within.
Who would have foreseen the advent of a freak like Lis?
The [All-Purpose] talent effect was immensely useful!
I didn’t cheat, I just forgot to turn it off!
But….
Lis rubbed his chin in contemplation.
If Matteus Hammer’s intention was to leave this ring for the Dwarf Clan, why not leave it directly in a Dwarven city?
How did the human trader Blair come to possess it?
Guess it’s another murky account!
But that no longer concerned Lis; if it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have obtained the ring!

Effect 4: [Secret Storage Room], Features a special storage space inside the ring created by special means.]
—————–
Oh wow!
Lis’s eyes brightened, this thing was powerful!
He hadn’t expected the Copper Ring of Sarmekhal to have such potent effects, indicating that it was likely Matteus Hammer’s personal item!
For any craftsman, this ring was practically a divine artifact!
It was also quite significant for Lis; with his specialty [Spirit Rhinoceros Skillful Hand], he could even consider mass-producing Legendary Equipment.
And there was still a possibility of crafting even more powerful weapons and equipment!
Good stuff!
Lis didn’t know about this ring’s special nature in his previous life; Blair must not have unlocked its secrets either, eventually being discovered by the Dwarf Clan.
No wonder Blair received substantial support from the Dwarf Clan!
Now, Lis was more curious about the ring’s hidden secret.
Upon fully mastering the ring, Lis sensed the storage space within it suddenly expanded significantly.
The original storage space was already sizable, and now it was at a whole new level.
This must be the effect of [Secret Storage Room]!
Lis directed his spiritual power into the ring.
In Lis’s perception, the ring’s interior seemed unchanged, but guided this time, Lis did not hesitate to control his spiritual power straight to the upper part of the storage space.
What initially appeared as the boundary of the storage space now seemed like a thin, pale white mist, no longer resisting Lis’s conscious exploration.
Passing through this boundary, hidden within the seemingly unremarkable ring was a breathtaking area.
The first sight was a cozy, comfortably arranged bedroom. The bed was woven from the softest wool, covered with a hand-stitched blanket depicting ancient tales of the Dwarven people. A small copper oil lamp hung by the bed, its faint, warm glow covering every corner of the room, creating a peaceful, homely atmosphere.
Through a delicately crafted stone door was the dining area. A long, rectangular oak table occupied the center, with various delicacies laid out on it: from golden crispy bread to aromatic stews and vibrant fruit platters.
Next to it, in the wine cellar, were neatly arranged barrels and bottles of various kinds, filled with fine wines brewed by the dwarves, awaiting the day they would be opened and enjoyed.
Venture deeper, and a special room unfolded. It was filled with drawings, scrolls, and books, some recording the history of the Dwarf Clan, but mostly precious materials on forging and metallurgy. The shelves were also adorned with some rare mineral specimens.
The most striking feature was the core’s spacious, well-lit forging room. A blazing furnace stood at its center, surrounded by a variety of forging tools, the air still saturated with the unique heat of melting metals.
The entire place, be it in layout or decoration, was deeply entrenched with Dwarven cultural characteristics, from the carved murals on the walls to the stone-paved floor, every detail radiated the dwarves’ love for life and their persistence in craftsmanship.
This was indeed an extremely unique abode!
Was this where Matteus Hammer lived?
Lis could feel it when his spiritual power entered this area.
As long as he willed, his body could also enter this abode.
Lis had not only heard about this unusual situation before, but there was actually a magic that could achieve similar effects.
That was the Seven-Circle Magic [Lioumon Mansion Technique]!
Part of the magical series ascending from Three-Circle [Lioumon’s Sanctuary], Four-Circle [Lioumon Shelter], Five-Circle [Lioumon Secret Hall], all the way to Seven-Circle [Lioumon Mansion Technique].
The specific effects included creating a time-limited sanctuary, with each spell tier enhancing various alert, protective, and concealment functions.
Meanwhile, the internal comfort level also increased progressively.
However, this spell series had one problem, every casting resets the status.
Meaning that if items are stored in the created space, they would disappear when summoned again.
Yet, there are solutions; mages with a higher mastery of space magic would connect the spell with a space fragment, or create a connection to a half-plane, stabilizing the space.
This [Sarmekhal’s Copper Ring] should be of a similar case.
Soon, Lis’s gaze was drawn to a scroll placed on the desk in the study.
