The treasury of the dwarves was under the palace. Just like what the dwarves were used to, this mountain was hollow with the protection circle of the city spirit monitoring it. It was extremely safe underground.
This was why the dwarves were able to complete most of their secret projects underground. It was much more comfortable underground than on the surface.
King Gunther brought Abel through the short distance teleportation circle in the palace and appeared in a cave.
As soon as they stepped out, Abel sensed a few power of the will scanning him. They were all law-defying wizards, which meant the protection of this place was extremely strong.
The cave was lit up by oil lamps on the wall. There were no ordinary illumination circles, but Abel didn't know what kind of oil these lamps were made of, but their brightness was not any weaker than the illumination circles.
On the wall opposite the short distance teleportation circle, there was a black iron door with large amounts of magic circles drawn on it.
"Master Bennett, please wait!" King Gunther did not move forward and said to Abel.
Of course, Abel would not move forward. His intuition told him that danger was everywhere.
"Open!" King Gunther took out a badge and yelled after igniting it with his power of the will.
From the short distance teleportation circle to the black iron door, countless pillars reached out from the ground and formed a path big enough for 2 people to pass through.
"Master Bennett, we dwarves specialize in mechanisms. Sometimes, mechanisms are even more useful than magic circles!" King Gunther said with a smile. Then he made an inviting gesture and said, "You can pass now!"
Abel followed behind King Gunther and stepped on the pillars. Soon, they arrived in front of the iron gate.
King Gunther placed his badge on the iron gate and flicked a drop of blood with his finger. Light flashed on the iron gate. Afterward, the sound of a mechanism opening came from the iron gate.
"The senior who designed this treasury set the requirement to enter with a drop of royal dwarf blood. I don't want to come anymore!" King Gunther half-jokingly explained to Abel.
Abel couldn't help but have a good impression of King Gunther. These were all secrets of the dwarves, so there was no need for King Gunther to tell him.
Abel smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to the treasure vault more and more after seeing such a defense!"
The iron door was opened, and King Gunther led Abel into the treasury.
"Master Bennett, there are no more mechanisms or circles here. You can choose whatever you want. If there's anything you don't understand, I can help you!" King Gunther pointed at the treasury and smiled.
"Majesty Gunther, thank you so much!" Abel bowed and thanked.
He began to look around the treasury. The first thing he saw were rows of weapons neatly placed on metal racks. From the energy of those weapons, he could tell they were at least magic rank.
"These weapons were all made by grandmaster blacksmiths throughout the generations. Many of them are famous weapons in the Central Continent!" King Gunther said proudly..
"Majesty, these weapons are not as good as the weapons of the mad Knight from the Evil Kingdom!" Abel was a grandmaster blacksmith, so he could tell the quality of the weapons in front of him. Instead of pandering to King Gunther, he directly pointed out the difference between the 2 weapons.
"That's true. The Evil Kingdom's enchantment technology is much better than the dwarves. I want to see their enchantment technology after we conquer them!" King Gunther nodded. He was not offended by Abel's words. Only a true friend would speak the truth.
Of course, King Gunther's pride was not without reason. Many of these weapons were from the golden age when the Evil Kingdom had yet to invade, and the dwarves' close-range weapons were sought after by everyone.
Knights were still helping the nobles to rule the Central Continent. Every Knight wanted to get their hands on the magic weapons of the dwarves.
However, after the Evil Kingdom invaded, everything changed. Knights were banned, and the demand for melee weapons was greatly reduced. These excellent weapons became souvenirs in the dwarves' treasury.
Abel walked past the weapons section. He was not interested in weapons. Even the weapons he made were better than these, not to mention the rune word weapons.
He didn't stop at the armor section either. Many of the armors were old, and he could feel the history of the armors.
Abel didn't even need King Gunther's introduction to know that there were many legendary weapons in the weapons section and armor section.
After coming to the Central Continent, he also discovered that Grandmaster Blacksmiths were not well-known in the Central Continent. It was estimated that only the Dwarves knew how many Grandmaster Blacksmiths there were. In the entire Central Continent, very few people mentioned Grandmaster Blacksmiths.
On the other hand, almost all professions knew about potion masters.
From this, one could see the difference between the two in the Central Continent. This was determined by how important it was to Professionals.
Although a wizard's magic staff required a grandmaster blacksmith to make, the raw materials needed for a magic staff could only be used by advanced wizards. The soul and crystal cores of powerful spiritual beasts that were useful to law-defying wizards could only be found in the outer sea.
Therefore, grandmaster blacksmiths could not make magic staffs that were useful to law-defying wizards. Therefore, grandmaster blacksmiths were not as important as potion masters in the Central Continent.
Abel sighed and continued to walk into the treasury.
Next was the ore material area. There were all kinds of materials, and each of them was a real treasure. There were many ores that even a blacksmith grandmaster like him couldn't name. He could only analyze their characteristics according to their characteristics.
"Most of the materials here are top quality. Although they are not spirit items, they are extremely rare in the continent. Blacksmiths can't use them because of this!" King Gunther sighed as he looked at the ores.
For the Dwarves, these ores were definitely real treasures. Such rare ores were more attractive to the Dwarves than any other precious stones.
However, these ores were useless to him. Other than making some white equipment for rune words, he didn't even make magic weapons anymore.
"Beautiful ores!" Still, as a grandmaster blacksmith, he couldn't help but compliment.
If it was a peaceful time, he wouldn't mind taking a few ores for his collection. However, he wanted to make himself stronger, and the dwarves' treasury was more of an ancient treasure.
The next few sections were filled with all kinds of treasures. Most of them had nothing to do with fighting.
It made sense. This was the treasury of the dwarves, not the treasury of professions. Of course, most of them were related to wealth.
Finally, when he reached the innermost part, he saw a huge space. Due to the size of some of the items here, this space was built to fit all of them.
"These are the ancient items. We got some from the ancient ruins and some from trading with other races. It's a shame that not many of them can be activated!" King Gunther looked at the pile of ancient items and said regretfully.
Abel began to grow excited. There were more than 20 battle forts here, and he even saw a relatively complete one.
He arrived in front of the battle fort and began to examine it carefully. All the battle forts that he had obtained before only had the base of a giant disc.
However, this one not only had a base, but it also had an operation room. It was also thicker than the other battle forts.
"Commander spirit, scan this battle fort for me!" Abel reached his headmaster identity card with his power of the will.
"Headmaster, scanning in progress!" The commander spirit sent a message back to his power of the will.
"Master Bennett, are you interested in this?" King Gunther saw Abel standing in front of the battle fort and smiled.
There were so many treasures in the past, but he didn't see Abel stopping. He didn't think that this ancient object would attract Abel's attention.
Although this treasure house wasn't the most important treasure house of the Dwarves, there were still a lot of good things here.
King Gunther asked Abel to pick 3 items. If Abel picked 3 items from the first batch, they would be worth as much as a mid-sized noble family.
As for these ancient items, although the materials used were extremely precious, the problem was that they could not be used at all. These items were only large scale display items.
"Headmaster majesty, the battle fort is perfectly preserved. It's an unused battle fort that has never been activated before!" At that moment, the commander spirit gave out the scan result.
Abel was surprised. Although he didn't know what happened in the ancient times, he knew it was a great war. Almost all the battle forts were destroyed, and only the base was left.
He had already gotten a few battle forts, and now he finally got a complete one. It was the kind that had never been used before. It wasn't even activated.
But it made sense. If this battle fort had been through a war, he would not be able to get it.
"Majesty Gunther, I want this ancient object!" Abel patted the battle fort and said.
This thing was a real treasure. With the help of the commander spirit, he could recreate the power of a battle fort.
"Master Bennett, as long as you like it. I will arrange a wizard to send it to your mansion!"
King Gunther didn't know what to do with Abel. Although this thing was huge, it was useless if it could not be activated.
It must be known that the ancient items that could be placed in this treasury had been studied by many dwarf masters and were deemed to be completely unusable. The truly good things had already been studied and integrated into the dwarves' mechanical arts.
The reason why the dwarves' mechanical skills were invincible and could even threaten class holders was because of their ancient skills.
"Thank you!" Abel did not say he could take it away. His portal ring was a holy object of the dwarves from the ocean, and his holy portal bag was a holy object of the Nation of God. No matter what, he couldn't take it out.
He then continued to look through the ancient objects. There were too many good things here. Even Frankenstein's puppet was here.
"Commander spirit, can you help me find out which ancient objects are useful to me?" Abel contacted the commander spirit again. He didn't know much about ancient objects, but the commander spirit was very familiar with them.
"Headmaster Majesty, scanning!" The commander spirit began to scan again, but this time, the range was bigger. It included all the ancient objects in the treasury.
The scanning ability of the commander spirit was very subtle. At least, King Gunther did not notice it since he was also a law-defying wizard.
"Headmaster, a sealed storage box, a portable mirror, a war puppet, and a portal car have been found!" The commander spirit quickly sent out a series of messages.
Abel began to identify the objects one by one with his power of the will.
Not all ancient items were good. After experiencing an unknown war, most of these ancient items were damaged. In addition to the erosion of time, other than a small number of ancient items that still retained some functions, the rest of the ancient items only had research value.
The first thing he saw was the sealed storage box. It was a small metal cube. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a box at all. There were no cracks on the surface, let alone opening it.
Also, he scanned it with his power of the will. It was made of metal from the inside out. There was no space at all.
However, when he heard the battle command spirit say that this metal cube was called a sealed storage box, he knew it was not made of metal from the inside to the outside.
He then saw the portable mirror device, which was even more inconspicuous. It was just a wristband that was thrown on the ground. There were four spikes inside the wristband, which made it so that no one dared to use it. Once they used it, they would be stabbed by the spikes.
Portable mirror device. Just by the name, Abel knew it was used in battle. It was also a special equipment. If it could create a mirror, it would be very useful.
"Majesty Gunther, I want this ancient object too!" Abel said as he picked up the mirror device.
