Lachlan led the group through the cave, they constantly looked back to see where the spatial gate was before noticing the entrance just disappear. It didn't fade away or anything; just straight up disappeared from their sight without making any noises or them having any trouble with their awareness.

"Alright, just follow me and you'll see our new base in this world," Lachlan replied before making an immediate turn to the path they went around the portal. The group followed, staring to their side to see if they could notice any changes in the cave that would show them the spatial gate.

Unfortunately, just like Lachlan had experienced, there was nothing noticeable despite them knowing that there was a spatial gate. It was completely invisible, even though Aaron explained to him that it was a tear in space, something unnoticeable by the naked eye, it was still hard to believe that a tear in space was invisible.

The group shrugged it off and continued walked, after walking for a while they finally managed to see the light at the end of the tunnel, followed by a clear blue sky. Walking outside the cave they were all blasted by the ocean breeze, its saltiness filled their nose.

"What the hell, so this world still has small beasts," Georgia remarked as she pointed towards a flock of birds. They were flying through the air, bundled together similarly to how the birds before the evolution on Earth flew.

"Whoa, what the hell is that!" Simon remarked loudly as he pointed towards the bottom of the mountain. Lachlan had decided to park the castle at the bottom of a mountain, however, due to its large size and vibrant splendour it didn't take long for the group to notice it.

"What do you think it is? It's obviously our new bases in this world," Lachlan explained as he took to the air and slowly drifted down towards the castle. The group followed right behind, attracted to the glorious look of polished marble as well as the gold lining and embedded gems. It was a castle fit for a king, no less than the ruler of the world.

"Where the hell did you get it? Surely you're not going to say that you stole it from a king, right?" Simon asked curiously. Obviously, castles don't just build themselves, they're created by someone or something to provide shelter to people and showcase wealth and power to rulers.

Lachlan faintly chuckled as he grabbed onto his hips. "You're actually spot on. I stole this from the Dragon King, one of the strongest inhabitants of this land alongside the Dark Dragon King, Demon King, and Elven King. However, the Dragon King is the only one amongst them that have such a lavish castle."

Lachlan had learnt that elves, although arrogant, don't use their wealth to create such castles. Instead, they spend their wealth on certain types of wood which can be used for both defensive measures, along with special training. Granted, that's for a majority, there is a small minority which seems to like boasting about their wealth.

As for dwarves, they all live underground, beneath one of the largest mountains in the entire world. The number of resources beneath that could create enough machinery for the entire world; however, they keep everything to themselves due to some of their habits.

Once they set sight of a goal, they'll never give it up, using any resource they can get their hands on to further their progress. However, it's due to this habit that they became one of the most feared races, with machinery which allows them to annihilate entire kingdoms. Their firepower akin to nuclear bombs without the leftover radiation.

The group's mouth as left agape from Lachlan's explanation before they swiftly shook their heads and brought themselves back into reality. "So, is that how you were able to get those dragons? By stealing from the dragon king?"

Lachlan nodded with a wide smile. "Yup, by defeating the Dark Dragon King, the one dragonkin in charge of their dragon kingdom's defences. I was able to get the dragon eggs as well as the entire castle, along with all the other treasure the Dragon King stole from the other races."

Lachlan had already looked through the stuff stolen by the Dragon King, some of which are rare materials stolen from the dwarven kingdom, it precious woods and water from the pixie elven kingdom. There was also a variety of other stuff, so much so, that Lachlan was surprised the Dragon King wasn't killed already.

Simon looked at Lachlan with a suspicious expression. "Doesn't that mean that every other race in this world wants us dead? You did just take all their treasures you know?"

"Yeah I know, but they don't know where we are, so I see no problem in it," Lachlan explained with a nonchalant tone of voice as he shrugged his shoulders. Sure, he did just steal from every other kingdom, but Lachlan wouldn't expect them to go after some who managed to defeat the Dragon King. The Dragon King who just so happened to infiltrate their kingdoms and steal their most precious resources.

Not to mention he was informed by the Dark Dragon King that no race put any sort of tracker on their precious treasure entirely due to the fact that they never thought they would need to. Such as the Dragon King's castle, which although had some strong defences, it didn't have layer after layer of defences when it clearly could have. Now, however, almost any item of value to a country is layered in trackers and guarded heavily.

"Are you certain about that?" Phoebe asked as she got closer to Lachlan's face, to the point where he could feel her breath. She was absolutely terrified when Lachlan told her that a lot of races' precious treasures are here, some of which they would start a war with another country over.

"Yes, I'm certain about that. I'm also sure the Dragon King won't come looking either, likely being held back by the Dark Dragon King." Lachlan then went on to explain the relationship between the Dragon King and Dark Dragon King along with their strengths.

"So are there elves here?" Joe asked curiously as he closed upon Lachlan's face. Everyone shook their heads, it was more than obvious as to why Joe was asking such a question. However, they were also rather curious as to what other intelligent races are in this world.

"Yup, there's a variety of elves along with dwarves, dragonkin, demons, and humans. Granted, the humans have been wiped out due to them killing each other," Lachlan explained before going on about how the towns and cities are completely abandoned.

"Damn, so they really have just become mindless brutes huh?" The group shook their heads with disappointment. Although they were informed of how the humans evolved in Aaron's world, it was still disappointing to have it fully confirmed.

"Oh well, let's go down to the castle, I want to have a look at what some of those treasures can do," Simon said before leaping off the mountain. Using his gravity stone he glided down the side of the mountain, just a couple metres away from it. The group swiftly followed along.

It didn't take long for them to reach the castle and see its glorious splendour up close. When they were there Lachlan informed them of the castle's defences, especially of the wall. Immediately a few of them went up to punch it with all their might.

They only did the same, if not less amount of damage than Lachlan. A small hole with some cracks spreading around it. They were all surprised with it, it was the first time they came across a defence that their strength couldn't break through after all.

"Maybe we should get Anne to analyse this stuff, maybe we could create a wall with whatever is used to enchant this wall. After all, we already got the framework," Chloe suggested as he lightly brushed the palm of her hand against the wall.

The group agreed, if there was one person amongst all inhabitants of the island that would be able to analyse this wall, it would be Anne. Not to mention that once she sets her eyes on a goal, she'll continue researching until she reaches that goal.

"You know what, I reckon Anne could get along with the dwarves with her personality," Lachlan remarked as he nodded his head. Considering how similar they were, Anne could basically merge into the dwarven society, researching and creating masterful weapons. And with the unique resources and machinery that the dwarves have, Anne would have a field day just testing things out.

"Who knows, maybe we can toss her into the dwarven society right now," Joe said jokingly but received a few serious nods of approval. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm joking. Anne is the only researcher on the island researching weapons as of now. All the other researchers are looking at beasts' corpses and unique plants."

"And that's exactly why it isn't such a bad idea to put her with the dwarves. They are weapon fanatics, creating things that would allow Anne's view of weapons broaden," Flynn responded as he nodded. "Then, once she returns, as long as we have the materials, Anne can go wild with creating weapons and defences."

"No, we won't be needing to do that," Lachlan said with a broad smile. "After all, the Dragon King did steal quite a bit from the dwarves, we can just have Anne research all of the stuff stolen in the castle. I reckon she'll be able to come up with a few ideas, just like how she came up with that cannon looking thing."

The group awkwardly laughed at Lachlan bringing up Anne's weapon. Although it worked in the end, it was also the reason they had to fight against so many ants. If not for it perfectly shooting through one of the caves, they likely would have only had to fight against the small couple dozen ant horde that was initially coming towards them.

The group stopped talking and walked into the treasury, they looked at the showcase of different weapons from all the races. Precious woods, plants, and bows were stolen from the elves; random weapons and complicated bits of machinery were stolen from dwarves; while Drate took all the demon treasures.

Inside another room was something that Lachlan had trouble processing with his eyes. It wasn't a weapon or precious resource, it was an extremely complicated machine created by the dwarves. If Lachlan were to compare it to something on Earth, it would be a Mecha. Granted, Lachlan was unsure as to whether or not this one created by dwarves had to ability to go into space. However, since it was created by dwarves, it likely had some serious firepower.

The only problem was the cockpit; since it was created by dwarves, the cockpit was only fit for one dwarf. Even Lachlan, who was constantly reminded of how small he was, wasn't able to fit in it. It required someone roughly 3'0 – 4'0.

"Could I fit in it?" Sarah suggested out of the blue. The group was rather surprised by Sarah's suggestion, she wasn't wrong, she fit the requirement quite nicely. Granted, she wasn't bulky like all dwarves, but she did have the height requirement.

"Sure, give it a go," Lachlan said as he opened it up by pressing a button by the side of the cockpit. He had a few days to himself where he just tested everything in the castle out. It came by no surprise that he knew how to open up the Mecha.

Placing Sarah inside he strapped her in before closing the cockpit.

"Alright Sarah, gently press down on the pedal by your foot," Lachlan commanded loudly, making sure Sarah could hear him. Sarah nodded through the glass and gently pressure the pedal, the mecha started to rumble and shake as the dust that collected on it began to fall off.
