Chapter 8 - Chapter 1: Entry #7
The stone door was large and solid but in the end, it was a stone tablet designed for opening and closing. Carack used his muscles and smashed it with the hammer.
It was obvious but the inside of the cave was dark. On top of that, it looked quite deep.
”The dwarves seem to have made this cave.”
Carack said with squinted eyes. In-gong had some questions.
“Dwarves? Are there dwarves in the Demon World?”
Just like how orcs were universally present in fantasy, Knight Saga also had dwarves.
They were a small species with thick shoulders and beards. Of course, they also had good strength, stamina and dexterity.
He’d been able to meet quite a number of dwarves when playing the human Locke. Right now, there was a dwarf among Locke’s companions.
However, it was different when playing Zephyr. Dwarves didn’t officially live in the Demon World.
Carack was dumbfounded by In-gong’s question. It seemed like he was surprised by something other than the question.
“Why?”
”No, you don’t remember your name but you know about dwarves.”
In-gong glared at him and Carack laughed awkwardly.
”I heard that they used to live here a long time ago. The Jishuka Mountains are slightly close to the Human World.”
”Did they move as a group?”
”That's what I heard. Well, it was a few hundred years ago, so no one knows why.”
It made sense. In-gong nodded and Carack continued.
”Well, I think this is a dwarf cave. After seeing the pieces on the door, does Prince think that it is impossible? Would orcs be able to punch through this cave?”
This place was the southern Jishuka Mountains. The cave required a large civil engineering work, not a simple labour force. The right skills were needed.
”Okay, let’s go.”
Looking at the state of the door, it seemed like the Red Lightning orcs were unaware of its existence. It meant they were unlikely to meet orcs inside.
‘If this is a dwarf cave, there should be dwarf weapons, right?’
Dwarf weapons were naturally expensive. They were expensive due to their good performance. In-gong had used many dwarf weapons when playing Knight Saga.
All of Knight Saga’s items were divided into five grades: common, uncommon, rare, unique and legend. It was roughly thought that every time the grade increased, the price would go higher by at least 10 times.
‘Yes, they also play a role in winning a war!’
If he was armed with a dwarf weapon, then even the weak Shutra could kill a person.
‘It would be better if higher grade weapons come out!’
In-gong felt his chest swell with wild dreams.
How long did they move?
‘Pant pant, over here.’
He found a hidden room due to the mini-map. It was a room that was like an arsenal.
However, there was one crucial problem.
[Your level is not high enough.]
[Your strength is not high enough.]
[Your magic power is not high enough.]
He kept on hearing similar messages when holding a weapon in his hand.
They were too heavy for Shutra’s thin arms. Some weapons also required a lot of magic power that Shutra didn’t have.
Of course, it was possible to swing them. However, it would be impossible to show the weapons’ true performance. A weapon that couldn’t be properly used would cause more harm than good.
In-gong’s fantastic dreams faded away. It was an inevitable result when he thought about it.
Would a red hare be able to defeat a white tiger? Nobody could draw Excalibur until King Arthur pulled it out. In order to use a good weapon, one had to be a good person.
'Although I can try one thing.’
In-gong picked up a dwarf weapon and placed it into his inventory. If he held it and thought ‘bag,’ then it would enter his inventory.
In-gong placed all the weapons into his inventory one by one. Carack stared at him from behind with wide eyes.
“P-Prince?”
In-gong grinned. It was natural to be surprised.
A weapon disappeared once In-gong held it. However, In-gong wasn’t shocked and just repeated the work silently.
”Takes the spoils. Later, it would be good if Carack... no. Carack, pick one right now and I will give weapons to the ones who show some merit.”
If an enemy appeared, Carack would be the one taking the lead in a fight. Naturally, Carack needed a good weapon.
Of course, it wasn’t the same for the other orcs fighting.
‘Then should I swallow it quickly?’
It was normal for the protagonist to get more of the loot. However, In-gong was currently a prince. It didn’t matter if Shutra’s status was slightly different from Chris and Caitlin.
Carack’s eyes shone as he picked a weapon, then went back to gawking at In-gong who was making the weapons disappear.
”Prince, are you really a magician?”
“A prince should know a few magic spells.”
He was a prince of the Demon World, not a magician. He needed to make Shutra grow.
Anyway, In-gong continued to fill his inventory and managed to sweep up all the dwarf equipment in the arsenal.
‘This is just the equipment.’
