Chapter 1033: Dwarf Inventory

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The dwarf’s inventory was below the palace within the shell of the mountain. It was the nature of dwarves, and the place was equipped with giant protection circles and a spirit for monitoring.

Because of this, the most secretive tasks were always done underground, and their livelihood was much better than the surface.

King Gunther led Abel underground through the short distance teleportation circle of the palace. Soon, they arrived at a stand-alone platform.

The moment Abel stepped out, he could sense countless power of the will from powerful law-defying wizards monitoring him, which just showed how secure this place was.

Oil lamps were illuminating the walls instead of an illumination circle. It was just that Abel didn’t know what oil was used to burn so brightly.

On the other side was a dark metal door covered in magic patterns.

“Master Bennett, please wait!” King Gunther stopped and said.

Of course, Abel listened. His intuition told him what was above and below was extremely dangerous.

“Open!” King Gunther took out a badge and yelled with his power of the will.

Afterward, countless metal poles sifted out of the platform, creating a path connecting them to the dark metal door.

“Master Bennett!” King Gunther smiled and bowed, “you are safe to go now!”

Abel walked in front of King Gunther, and he smoothly made his way towards the door.

King Gunther tapped his badge on the door and gently flicked a drop of blood on it. The door began to glow, and sounds of machines working emerged.

“Our ancestors who designed this inventory require a drop of blood from a royal dwarf with every entry, so I hate coming here!” King Gunther laughed and explained.

Abel couldn’t help but increase his fondness for King Gunther. Those were all secrets of the dwarves, yet he was telling him all about it.

“I am now a lot more optimistic about my inventory in the future!” Abel also smiled.

The metal door swung open, and they stepped in.

“Master Bennett, there are no triggers or magic circles here. Feel free to look around. If you have any questions, I’ll explain!” King Gunther pointed around and smiled.

“Majesty, thank you!” Abel bowed.

He began to look around. The first row was neatly placed with metal racks with the energy of weapons. They were all magic weapons.

“Those were all best of the best from grandmaster blacksmiths in the Central Continent over the years. Some of them were extremely well known!” King Gunther proudly introduced.

“Your Majesty, but they don’t match up to the weapons from the Evil Kingdom’s mad knights!” Abel was a grandmaster himself, and he could see the quality of those weapons.

“You are right. The Evil Kingdom’s spell technology was much more powerful than the dwarves. After we destroy them, we will definitely take a good look in to what they are doing!” King Gunther was not offended. They were friends, after all.

But of course. King Gunther’s pride did not come from nothing. Those weapons stood the test of time before the Evil Kingdom’s invasion. They were the best support for close battles.

Back then, the knights were still serving the nobles, and each one of them yearned for a magic weapon from the dwarves.

However, everything changed since the Evil Kingdom’s invasion. The knight profession was forbidden, and the demand for close-range weapons fell drastically. Therefore they ended up in the inventory as collectibles.

Abel wasn’t too interested in weapons, so he continued. He had much better weapons anyway. Just look at those top-level rune words gear.

The following were armors that did not catch his attention since they all had a vintage feel.

Although King Gunther did not explain, Abel knew he probably just walked past a few legendary-grade weapons and armors.

Abel only realized how unpopular Grandmaster Blacksmiths were since he arrived at the Central Continent. The dwarves kept each one in close proximity, so only they had any idea how many grandmasters there were.

On the other hand, everyone knew about master potion makers.

Maybe this was decided by supply and demand.

Although a wizard’s magic staff needed a blacksmith to create, most of them were only useful on an elite wizard. If a law-defying wizard wanted one, they had to seek the crystal core of a powerful spiritual beast in the ocean.

This was why a grandmaster couldn’t make a magic staff for law-defying wizards. Thus their status was far below a potion maker.

Abel settled himself and continued.

The following were some ores, and each of them was extremely rare. Even as a grandmaster metallurgist, there were many he couldn’t name.

“Most materials here are exclusive. Although they are not from heaven and below, you almost can’t find them anywhere in the continent. But it is because of this, our blacksmiths can’t use them in their forgeries!” King Gunther looked at those ores and sighed.

They were all treasures to the dwarves, and each exclusive ore could make a dwarf drool.

However, they were basically useless to Abel other than making some blank gear for rune words. They couldn’t even be used to make magic weapons.

“What beautiful gems!” Still, he couldn’t help but admire their beauty as a grandmaster.

If they weren’t in a war, maybe he would also want a few as collectibles to remind himself how powerful he was. However, what he was after at that moment were the ancient objects of the dwarves.

The following areas were also treasures, with nothing to do with battle.

But this was the inventory of the dwarves anyway, not the inventory of a professional. Of course, there were not as many things to do with battles.

Finally, Abel arrived at the end and saw a wide-open space filled with huge objects.

“These are the ancient objects gathered from the ancient sights of our ancestors. There are also some we exchanged with other races, but sadly not many of them still work!” King Gunther sighed again.

Abel immediately felt excitement filling his heart. There were 20 battle forts. There was even a fully intact one.

He stepped up and looked at it in detail. All the battle forts he got had a giant round base.

However, the round base was thicker than any other ones he saw, and there was an extra operation room on top of it.

“Commander spirit, scan this battle fort!” Abel connected to his headmaster badge through the power of the will.

“Headmaster, scanning!” The commander replied with a message with the power of the will.

“Master Bennett, are you interested in this thing?” King Gunther couldn’t help but laughed.

They went through so many treasures, but none of them seemed to have caught Abel’s attention. He was not expecting an ancient object could do the trick.

Although this inventory was not the most important inventory of the dwarves, there were still countless goodies.

Any 3 random weapons or inherited gear in this inventory was enough to buy up all assets from a medium-size noble family.

However, those ancient objects were just for show; even if their materials were valuable, they couldn’t do anything.

“Headmaster, this battle fort is very well preserved. It has never been ignited before!” The commander spirit gave out a result.

Abel was shocked. Although he wasn’t sure what exactly went down in ancient times, he knew there was a huge existential war. Most of the battle forts were destroyed. Only their most indestructible base remained.

This battle fort in front of him was the first fully intact one. In fact, it has never even been used before.

But it made sense. If it has been used before, it would not be intact.

“Your Majesty, I’ll take this!” Abel padded at the battle fort and said.

This thing was a true treasure. With the help of the commander spirit, this thing could truly reflect the power of its glory days.

“Master Bennett, I’m glad you like it. I’ll organise some law defying wizards to send it your way!”

King Gunther really couldn’t figure out what Abel was thinking. This thing was huge, but it was basically useless if you couldn’t ignite it.

Many master dwarves had researched those ancient objects. The ones in the inventories were only the ones they confirmed were useless. The truly valuable ones were all incorporated into their triggers.

After all, it was one reason why all professions feared the dwarves’ trigger and defense.

“Thank you so much!” Abel was not planning to take the thing away by himself. The portal ring he got from the ocean was a holy object of the dwarves, and the holy portal bag was a holy object of the Holy Kingdom. He wouldn’t expose them.

He kept looking around at the ancient objects. There were too many goodies, and there was even a puppet that Frankenstein used as his body.

“Commander spirit, can you help me pick out something useful?” Abel didn’t know much about ancient objects, so it was best to ask something from that period of time.

“Headmaster, now scanning!” The place was not big, so the commander spirit could cover all of it.

The commander’s spirit worked in mysterious ways. Even King Gunther could not notice it as a law-defying wizard.

“Headmaster, there is a locked up box, an reflection system, battle puppets, and dimensional car!” The commander spirit replied.

Soon the location of those objects was marked in Abel’s power of will.

Not all ancient objects were useful. After an existential war, most of them were damaged. Along with the corrosion of time, most of them could only be used as study materials.

Abel first walked towards the locked-up box. It had a decent size metal surface. However, there was no separation, so it looked more like a cube than a box.

He scanned with his power of the will, it was made entirely out of metal, and he still couldn’t figure out the opening.

But since it was called a box, there must be an opening.

He then gazed towards the reflection system, which was even more unnoticeable. It was basically a handguard on the ground. It was just that there were 4 spikes inside the guard, so no one would use it unless they wanted to hurt themselves.

Abel knew this thing was used in war just from its name. If it could really create a reflection, it would be amazing.

“Majesty, I’ll take this!” Abel picked up the reflection system and said.

“Master Bennett, you should pick something more valuable!” King Gunther shook his head.
