Chapter 295 Treasure and Black Crystal
As the room was illuminated, what came into Roland's sight was a group of cold steel puppets.

The puppets, averaging two meters in height, made of steel and enchanted with runes, stood neatly in front of the two men.

Seeing these puppets, Roland's eyes lit up.

Although the number is not large, it seems there are only two or three thousand, but if all of them can be activated, the committee will have considerable additional strength.

It seems that these puppets are all high-end products.

Next to the puppet, Roland saw mountains of various materials.

Various refined mineral materials were piled up into small hills, and the worst of these refined mineral materials was the relatively rare red steel.

Materials such as red steel, which are suitable for casting armor, are endless. However, what attracted Roland's attention the most was a small silver-white hill piled up independently.

Hela looked at the hill, her mouth opened in surprise, and said in amazement.

"Secret silver, so much?"

Roland also took a deep breath. When the Silver Clan occupied the Silver Gate, the reserves of mithril were calculated in grams, and the hill in front of him was probably several tons.

It is worthy of being the place where the black crystal is stored. The accompanying items are so expensive. If all these materials can be moved back, the equipment pressure of the committee to expand its army will be much less.

Although he was slightly shocked, Roland did not stop and walked firmly to the position he had locked onto.

Although Hela was a little surprised at the reserves of mithril, she still caught up with Roland.

As the two went deeper into the large warehouse, they saw more and more puppets, astonishing types and quantities of various materials, and thousands of complete sets of various equipment.

Roland silently recorded everything he saw while thinking silently.

At present, this treasure house is probably the strategic storage of some force during the dwarf clan civil war, or it could be a secret treasure house created by the last dwarf emperor of the Kingdom of Clans?

Such a large amount of supplies is enough to arm a powerful army of tens of thousands of people.

If it was the former, it looked like the clan would have been wiped out before it could use these strategic reserves. Otherwise, this wealth would not have been buried in the ground for so many years, and would eventually have benefited Roland.

Under Roland's leadership, the two quickly passed through the area where military supplies were stored and arrived at a place where gold, silver and jewelry were stored.

Looking at the mountain of gold and silver in front of him, Roland was not surprised at all. After a quick glance, he turned his attention to the box next to him.

Roland walked up to the box, looked at the dwarven runes on the box, studied them briefly, and after confirming that there was no risk, he pulled out a mithril sword from the side and directly cut off the iron lock on the box.

"boom."

As the broken lock fell to the ground, Roland used the mithril sword to pick it up and open the treasure chest.

What caught Roland's eyes were countless bright gems. And these were not ordinary gems. They all emitted quite obvious elemental fluctuations.

Among so many gems, which one is the black crystal?
Roland frowned and checked them one by one.

Through the stimulation and induction of his mental power, Roland quickly checked most of the gems.

When he picked up a transparent gem and briefly examined it before throwing it aside from the pile of gems, Roland suddenly stopped.

He took back his hand holding the transparent gem and squeezed the gem thoughtfully. Something seemed to be wrong.

Roland didn't hesitate. He clenched his right fist and tried to crush the gem in his hand.

However, this seemingly ordinary gem in his hand was extremely strong. No matter how hard Roland tried, even after using a few small spells, he could not break it.

This should be it, right?
Roland hesitated for a moment, and then, based on his experience of activating the Dwarf Crown in his previous life, he injected an activated Dwarf Rune into the transparent gem.

As this rune poured in, the gem in Roland's hand also changed.

The gem slowly floated up in Roland's hand, and countless dwarven runes appeared beside it. Then the seal was quickly released and it dissipated into the air on its own.

As the seal was lifted, the gem before him revealed its true face.

The transparent outer shell began to crack and fell off the gem, revealing the true black interior.

This is a kind of darkness that seems to contain everything. There is no prejudice of intelligent races against darkness, that is, the so-called malice and death, only pure darkness.

As the outer shell completely fell off, the black crystal slowly revealed its power. Even though it was in a warehouse in the forbidden magic area, the extremely pure dark element fluctuations slowly spread around.

However, the moment it was about to spread, Roland immediately clenched his hand, covered the black crystal, cast a spell to isolate the elemental fluctuations, and quickly took control of it based on his rich experience.

The black crystal had been ownerless for an unknown period of time after the previous owner died. Therefore, Roland did not need to use his strength to control it. He only needed to simply complete the master recognition ceremony.

Since the black crystal was just one of the components of the legendary equipment, the Dwarf's Crown, it did not have the ability to independently choose its master like legendary equipment. No matter how powerful it was, it was just a dead object. Therefore, Roland did not spend much effort to successfully master the black crystal.

Moreover, even the Crown of Domination was controlled by Roland, let alone a mere piece of black crystal.

After controlling the black crystal, Roland immediately checked its capabilities.

The effect is indeed a blessing for necromancy.

Moreover, the blessing effect of the black crystal is a little better than he imagined. Although the blessing it provides is mainly in the area of ​​necromancy, it also provides blessings in other areas, but the effect is relatively limited.

However, should the existence of the black crystal be exposed to the silver dwarves?

According to the agreement made when the clan kingdoms split, the seven crystals represent the orthodoxy and legality of the seven territories that were split from the empire in the Dragon's Back Mountains.

Only by successfully taking control of the crystal can one become the legitimate leader of the dwarf territory.

Although such words have become nonsense in the bloody civil war in the seven territories, when the civil war is going crazy, who would care about the so-called orthodoxy.

However, after so many years of civil war, the dwarven territory fell apart, and the seven crystals disappeared in the Dragonspine Mountains, the legitimacy of the crystals, which had been re-added with a touch of mystery and fantasy, has been restored to a certain extent.

At the very least, the Silver Clan had been searching for the Black Crystal during their most prosperous times, in order to establish the legitimacy of their rule over the Silver Gate.

If Roland reveals the existence of the black crystal, he may gain the loyalty of some silver dwarves, but he may also gain hostility from some silver dwarves.

For example, the Hamar who fled to Sinnar.

　After a few days of tens of thousands of orders a day, the average order dropped by thirty points. I’m so annoyed.
