I didn't dare move a single inch after this demon commander was gone.
Even though this room was now empty, I was afraid that someone would come back at any moment to catch me in the act…so I didn't dare move until I was certain that no one was coming back.
After several minutes of silence, I finally slowly came out of the hiding spot that I was in.
When I saw that no one was around, I didn't hesitate in making my way over to the stalagmite that the demon had taken the key from.
I knew that if I wasted any more time, it would become more likely that someone would come and catch me in the act.
I didn't waste any time in doing the same thing that the demon had done with the stalagmite, but the problem was that I wasn't familiar with this. So even though I thought that I had pressed in the same spot as the demon, there was no change with the stalagmite.
It didn't seem like what I was doing was having any effect…
So I started looking more closely at the stalagmite, trying to find some way to open it.
I wasn't able to find anything at first until I looked very closely at the stalagmite. When my face was basically right up against the stalagmite, I was able to see…that there was an indentation in there.
It seemed like I had made a mistake, thinking that I would be able to push from any angle and the button would go down.
It seemed that the button to open the stalagmite would only go down when pressed from the right direction.
Basically, it was like trying to force a rectangle through a circular hole.
So my hand went to the opposite side and I pushed down the button.
The moment that the button went down, there was a click sound before the compartment from before opened.
I looked in and saw that there were the keys that were lying there.
I didn't reach in right away as I looked around the compartment, trying to see if there were any traps. However, this was nothing more than a simple compartment, so it wasn't as if there was any space to hide any traps.
I reached in and grabbed the key before turning to the gate.
But before walking over, I looked at both of the passages that were in the room to make sure that no one was coming.
The moment that I opened the gate to the treasury, there would be no turning back. After all, even if I had the Detection Ward, it was impossible to hide the open gate.
So if anyone came in while I was in the treasury, they would surely notice me or know that someone had snuck in.
I didn't know how long I would take in there either, so there was the risk of being discovered at any moment.
I just hoped that everyone would be distracted at the banquet long enough that this wouldn't happen.
After making sure that there was no one coming, I went over to the gate and then quickly used the key to open it. After opening it, I went through the gate and turned back to look at it.
I found that there was also a keyhole on this side, so I closed it without hesitation before turning to the pile of things in front of me.
I had been worried that there wasn't a keyhole on this side, but since there was one then I would of course close the door.
The only problem was that it would be hard to explain the things that were floating in the air as I put them away.
So I didn't waste any time getting the things that I wanted to get.
The first thing, or rather things that I got were the Storage Rings of the elves.
I knew that it was impossible for me to carry all of the weapons that I needed, so I wanted to use the Storage Rings of the elves to help me carry them all. After all, the system's inventory was only for the things that came from the system, so I couldn't put any of these things in there.
Others wouldn't know how to use them, but I was different.
So I didn't have any problems accessing these Storage Rings.
Some of them were small and were already filled with junk, so I ignored them.
There was one that was clearly bigger than the rest and wasn't filled with as many things. As soon as I found this, I knew that this was Moon's Storage Ring.
Since it was big enough and empty enough for me to use, I chose to use this Storage Ring to carry the things. It was actually big enough that I was able to put all of the weapons and armour into them without even filling it up.
By the end of it, the Storage Ring wasn't even half filled when I crammed all of the weapons and armour that we needed into them.
So…I couldn't help looking at the other things that were in the treasury.
I knew that this was risky, but there were many different interesting things here that I just couldn't ignore.
That was because while the demons didn't know what the things that they threw in this place were, I knew. I had played the game that this world was based on in my previous world, so I knew many things that the residents of this world didn't know.
So the things that the demons didn't recognize, I knew with a single glance and I knew that they would help us in the upcoming fight with the demons.
Without hesitation, I picked out a few things that I thought that we would need.
Once I was done grabbing everything from the treasury, I carefully looked back at the room outside the bar.
Seeing that there was no one there, I let out a sigh of relief and quickly made my way out.
Once I had dropped the key back in the stalagmite, I headed in the direction of one of the passages and went into it without hesitation.
