A New Life In Another World: Volume 2

Chapter 14: The Arsenal

  We soon made it to the bottom of the stairs and to the next floor. What we found shocked us even more than before.

It was some kind of weapons shop, or a gallery of sorts with different and intricate weapons on display. And, just like with the library, this place gave off a strong aura of mana. That means the weapons here are enchanted.

First magic books, now enchanted weapons and items. At this point, I'm not really surprised, but I can't shake the nervous chill I get about this place.

The floor didn't seem as big as the secret Library upstairs. If I had to guess, I would have to say that this floor was likely half the size. Still, though, it was pretty big, so there would be plenty of dangerous weapons here, I'm sure.

"Wow, Desmond really went all out, huh?" I voiced my thoughts out loud. The sheer sight of this floor put me in awe, though not all of it was entirely in a good way.

"Judging from how strong the mana is here, I'd have to say that the majority of these weapons were enchanted. I'm sure a blacksmith would be drooling at the sight of this." Zemmi ran her eyes around the gallery floor, possibly thinking of what was in store for her.

To be honest, I'm starting to regret coming down here, just like with the secret library. At first, I thought it would be fun, but knowing the full extent of everything that Desmond created, I feel more anxious that excited.

Why couldn't Desmond had build something else. Maybe a vending machine or gaming consoles? Anything that doesn't involve slashing, bashing, or mutilating, really.

"Just look at all these weapons," Vlad looked around. "It reminds me of a blacksmith shop in the city."

"Well, Desmond was Vuthar's Champion, so this was expected, I guess. Though, something is still bothering."

"What do you mean?" I asked Zemmi.

"Well, during the war, Desmond always made weapons with higher durability and better sharpness. But, none of the weapons he made for his gods' followers were like these."

Hmm, that seems a little weird. Though, then again, thinking about the secret library, maybe these weapons were too dangerous.

Which makes me question why he made them in the first place if he didn't plan on using them. I think that's kind of a waste, really.

Seriously, what in the world was Desmond thinking when he made all this stuff? Was he preparing for something but never got the chance too? This is all too confusing for me.

For now, though, we should check out what kind of weapons this guy made. If they're anything like the Grimoires, we're in trouble.

I told the others to look around and check out the weapons on display. Since this floor wasn't as big as the library, we could split up without being in groups.

I decided to check the right side of the floor. From there, I saw swords, Gauntlets, and Chest pieces on display. They all gave off an intense aura, which likely means that they were enchanted.

Sadly, though, I couldn't tell what kind of enchantments were on them. There didn't seem to be a sign explaining what each weapon or armor piece could do. Though, there were name tags for a specific object.

Still, it doesn't help me figure out what kind of enchantments these weapons have.

During some of my magic lessons with Amy, she explained to me that you could tell what kind of enchantment a item has by reading the set of runes on it. Sadly, I didn't get that far in the Rune translation part yet, so I didn't know much.
