THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 243: SPIDERS
With Pard leading the way in front of them, Myro along with the others rushed towards the mine area.
When they saw Myro, be it the miners or the workers who helped Torn make the equipment, they all stopped working and paid their respects to Myro.
Although they always lived in caves and only went to Loth City every few months or years, they still knew the important news in Loth City.
Especially Myro who brought prosperity as well as progress in Loth City, they were very grateful to Myro.
Most of the cave workers, however, have families living in Victory Province. With the development of Victory Province, their family life also became better so they respected Myro very much.
Seeing the many people saluting him, Myro gave a few words so that the miners were excited to work again before going further and further towards the cave.
According to Pard's explanation, Torn lived in the farthest part of the cave compared to other miners.
The reason is so that he is not disturbed when making weapons, Torn must make each weapon with care and full attention.
After walking for 10 minutes, Myro stopped his steps because he found dozens of spider corpses about the size of 2 meters not far from his position.
Giant spiders have black color and many eyes, but today all spider eyes have lost their lives due to injuries to their bodies, most likely Torn along with the soldiers guarding the mine were the ones who killed the spiders.
Seeing Myro stop his footsteps while observing the corpse of the spider, Pard began to explain "Master, this is the monster I mentioned! Ever since we killed dozens of spiders from their earliest attacks, every day there would be spiders passing by here as if they were watching us. At first we just thought the arrival of the spider was a coincidence, but the teacher became worried and told me to seek help from the master".
As Myro was observing the spider from a distance, Ren stepped forward.
He approached the corpse of the spider and examined it carefully, even Ren opened the eyes of the dead spider while continuing to observe it.
Pard is a little confused by Ren's actions "Miss Ren, the spider's corpse has not been cleaned at all so they're full of blood, you better not touch-".
Although puzzled over Ren's reason for asking the same question over and over again, Pard still nodded "When the spider monster attacked, I happened to be here with the miners and the teacher, anyway, we plan to make equipment for your master troops again. Therefore, based on what I saw, only spiders attacked us".
"Ren, is there a problem or are you aware of something?", Myro asked curiously, he knew Ren would not ask for no reason.
Ren thought for a while before explaining "Master, there was a huge difference between the free-living spider monsters and those that had already been tamed. It resembled a wolf monster, there was a difference between a wolf monster that became an army of Wolf Cavalry and a free-living wolf monster. Generally free-living monsters are more fierce and powerful, whereas those trained by someone are weaker but able to understand human words, their intelligence is high".
"Based on what I observed just now, all the corpses of spider monsters were too small and their eyes were not red. Whereas the unchecked spider monster has red eyes, so I'm sure there are people behind all the spider monster attacks in the mine, he said, they were not monsters that happened to live here but rather monsters that had been well trained. Coincidentally I know who often uses spider monsters as their cavalry, the people who often control spider monsters are-".
"Dark Elf!", without waiting for Ren to finish explaining, a voice like a lightning explosion sounded from behind Myro.
Myro turned around to find Torn standing behind him while carrying a hammer, his entire face covered in black stains from the burning smoke that showed he had just finished working.
Torn knelt down in front of Myro "Master, thank you for bothering to come here and help us who are in the mine. But you shouldn't have to come here by yourself in the middle of your busy schedule, Torn feels guilty for interrupting your work".
Myro waved his hand "No need to feel guilty, you guys who are in the mine have been working hard for many years to help prepare the equipment of the troops! Therefore, I don't mind helping you guys as well! What's more important is to explain more about Dark Elves, even though I've read about them in books, but you know more about Dark Elves than I do".
"I think the one who best explained it to the master was Torn" said Ren who walked beside Myro again "In the southern region of the World, which is the only one who can explain it to him, there are 4 forces that control it, the Elves with the Gnomes control the land surface while the Dwarves and Dark Elves as rulers underground. As a result of those who were both powerful underground, Dwarves and Dark Elves were hostile to each other and fought frequently, Torn as the higher-ups among the Dwarves definitely knew his enemy very well".
Torn shook his head "We Dwarves do fight Dark Elves a lot, but I think you who are dubbed as a sage from the east must have Dark Elves information that is not inferior to us. Even so, I don't mind explaining it to master. Dark Elves, they look like Elves except for their dark skin. In addition, they are not very suitable for sunlight which makes them choose to live underground. Different from us Dwarves who live underground because of the existence of the mine".
"The famous Dark Elf squad was the spider cavalry, with its agility and thread, the spider monster had a great advantage when fighting underground. Hence the Dark Elves kept their spider monster taming technique as good as possible in order for no one to make the spider cavalry as well other than them".
"Then the Dark Elves had several other forces such as assassins and poison masters. When Elves like to learn elemental or spirit magic, Dark Elves often learn poison magic or create new poisons. Even the assassins or their spider cavalry were armed with poison-coated weapons, as long as their enemies were slightly wounded by their weapons, there was a high chance of dying from the poison on their weapons. For that reason, many people do not dare to be exposed to Dark Elf weapons even if only a few".
