Chapter 450 Chapter-450

"No, that\'s not possible... I used my skill to scan the whole area as soon as I heard the first explosion. I didn\'t detect anyone hostile within 1 km... this attack was launched from a very far distance," Anon spoke as he started walking towards the carriages that were destroyed in the explosion.

"You mean, witchcraft? That\'s the only thing that can work from that far, right?" Faith asked.

Suddenly, Anon noticed that something was shining in the ashes of the burned-down carriages.

"Hmm...? Telekinesis..." Anon used his skill to pick up the object from its place, but he failed to pick it up.

"Telekinesis..." Anon tried again as he pointed directly towards the shining object this time, but still, the object showed no signs of moving from its place.

"What are you doing?" Faith asked with a confused expression.

"The heck...?" Anon spoke as he walked into the ashes and grabbed the object directly with his hands.

As soon as he grabbed the object, Anon walked out of the ashes and looked at the object curiously.

"What is this?" Anon wondered as he observed that the thing he held in his hand looked like a metallic plate, but it had an aura of its own.

Anon had never seen something like this, and he was very curious to find out what this plate-like thing was.

[Demonic Eyes]

Anon immediately used his skill to study the nature of this strange element. As soon as he commenced the skill, a very loud buzzing sound rang inside his ears, and a glowing red notification popped up in front of him.

[Name: Unknown]

[Rank: Unknown]

[Warning: This thing can\'t be praised... Please retract the skill as soon as possible, or the host can face severe consequences.]

\'What the heck?\' Anon thought as he immediately stopped the skill and looked at the black metallic plate with an even more curious expression.

As Anon was looking at the black plate, he decided to turn it around and noticed that there was something written on its back with white ink.

It was the letter D written in an italic manner, with a small crown on one of its corners.

"Interesting... what does this mean now? Do you know anything about this?" Anon asked Faith as he handed the black plate to her.

Suddenly, Faith halted her steps and continuously stared at the black plate with a shocked expression.

"Oh, so you do know something. What is it? Tell me," Anon asked.

"This... This is the sigil of the Dwarf kingdom. Those individuals tried to eliminate our Queen? How dare they attack us? They are asking for war," Faith spoke with a very angry expression on her face.

"Hmm...? Dwarfs. Do you know anything about this particular metal?" Anon asked.

"This is the pure form of extracted Travertine. It cuts through any type of magic, no matter what type or how strong the spells you are using," Faith spoke.

"Do you know where this comes from?" Anon asked with a curious expression.

"Well, this thing dates back more than a thousand years when the Elven kingdom and the Dwarf kingdom were friends.

The Dwarfs worked in the mines, and the Elves conducted research on magic. Until one day, when the Dwarfs found the strongest metal in this world, Travertine.

The first piece of that metal was sent to the Elven Kingdom for research purposes.

Elven scholars found out that Travertine was the strongest metal in this world. They could\'ve informed the Dwarfs about it, but they didn\'t. Greed took over them, and they declared this metal similar to any other metal like iron and copper.

The Dwarfs immediately believed our scholars because they were very innocent back then, and our scholars bought all the mines in which Travertine was found for the next 200 years. The supply of Travertine started to increase inside the Elven Kingdom.

They started creating magical swords and wands out of Travertine.

This continued for the next 50 years, but suddenly a Dwarf found out the applications of Travertine. He found out that the Elves were using the Dwarfs for their profit.

As soon as this news reached the ears of the elder Dwarfs, they immediately seized all the Elves from their mines and their kingdom as well.

The Elf scholars were greedy; they couldn\'t stand this. They brought up the mana contract they had signed with the Dwarf king at that time and tried to blackmail them into supplying more Travertine to the Elven Kingdom, or their king would die..." Suddenly Faith stopped as a sad expression appeared on her face.

"What happened after that?" Anon asked as his curiosity increased.

"The Dwarf king... he transferred his crown to his brother and died for the sake of his kingdom. He knew that if they kept supplying Travertine to the Elven Kingdom, they would face major drawbacks in the future.

As soon as the King died, his brother succeeded his throne and waged a war on the Elven Kingdom.

They mined and made their own weapons... they fought on the battlefield.

This fight lasted for 10 years. Both of the sides suffered very high losses, but the Elves were at a very big disadvantage. Since we only had a limited amount of Travertine, our weapons started to get lower by the day, but Dwarfs had an unlimited supply of Travertine. They started winning the wars one by one, but before they could\'ve defeated us entirely.

The Elders from the Elven Kingdom proposed a truce between the two races.

Looking at the numbers of lives and time that were lost in this war, the Dwarfs accepted the truce, but they clearly declared that Travertine would not be supplied to the Elven Kingdom ever again.

But this rule was broken when the Counsellor attacked us 150 years ago, and to defeat him, all three races had to come together.

The Dwarfs started the supply of Travertine again throughout the three kingdoms, but in front of the Counsellor, these weapons were fragile.

That\'s when the dwarfs started digging further into the mines and found this... The Pure Form of Travertine. Invincible to magic.

This was one of the many reasons that we were able to defeat the counsellor but as soon as the war ended, it became an illegal element and everyone banned the use of this. But, I think they want to start the war again...."
