"It’s not far from Belendaan’s territory here. I suggest we retrace our steps a bit before resting," redith said, exchanging a glance with her father.
"Okay," Raine decided on the spot.
So, the group imdiately followed the original path back. Along the way, redith exchanged recent updates with her father, focusing on how Raine had helped her.
Hours later, under a giant spore tree, a bright campfire rose slowly. Raine, the five mages of the Kreit team, redith, and her father all sat down around the fire.
anwhile, Laisa busied herself making delicious food.
As a Druid, Sulfur Vine was quite adept at gathering ingredients and ca over holding a bunch of fresh at mushrooms.
"Father, did you help build our family’s treasury?" redith asked, sitting by the campfire.
"Not build, but repair," Lunen shook his head, "We were called over at the ti to repair the treasury’s door according to the blueprints from the renowned master craftsman Dustin."
"Father, can you tell about the structure of the treasury door? Also, is the Hernet family treasury door structured the sa way as ours?"
"It is indeed the sa. Our families all followed the design mindset of master craftsman Dustin."
"By the way, redith, why are you asking this?" Lunen, as a father, frowned, clearly puzzled as to why his daughter was asking this.
"Father, Raine wants to infiltrate the Hernet family’s treasury to take sothing, and he’s hoping you can explain how the treasury door can be opened."
"What! You’re planning to..." Upon hearing his daughter redith’s words, Lunen raised his voice, eyes wide in utter astonishnt!
Even more so than when he had previously seen the High-tier Priest Rovenia!
However, when Lunen shifted his gaze to the young human man who had a smile on his face, the words he intended to say in protest were swallowed back down.
It wasn’t just because of Raine’s displayed extraordinary combat abilities, but also deeply impressed Lunen with Raine’s adept "Disguise Spell."
Because it was only when the battle occurred that Lunen realized his daughter’s companion wasn’t a Drow but a human male.
"If it’s Mr. Rein, it might not be entirely impossible, but the difficulty remains exceedingly high," Lunen nodded, calming himself before he began to explain.
"First is the treasury door; two keys must be turned simultaneously to open it."
Imdiately, Lunen posed a challenge.
"Two keys are needed?"
Everyone present, including Raine, raised their eyebrows, showing surprise.
"Yes, from a chanical standpoint, the gears of the door only activate when two keys are turned at the sa ti. Otherwise, even a Seventh Level Spell strike couldn’t shake the door in a short ti."
"Of course, higher-level spells might work, but the problem is, the treasury is within the heart of the family, and massive spell energy fluctuations will undoubtedly draw the attention of the Hernet family’s legendary powerhouses."
"So in other words, forcing it open is almost impossible. We must obtain these two keys?" redith furrowed her fine eyebrows and said.
"Yes, but that’s easier said than done." Lunen looked at his daughter, nodded, and sighed.
"Firstly, the keyholders are extraordinary strong persons. For example, within the Breagan family, the first key is with the family guardian chief, while the second key is held alternately by high-tier priest council mbers."
"What? Alternately held?" Upon hearing this, even the Kreit brothers, who had considerable faith in Raine, gasped.
"Yes." Lunen nodded, "For instance, in my Breagan family, there are eight high-tier priests besides the matron, each holding the second key for a month, and then rotating to another high-tier priest the next month."
At this point, Lunen tily glanced at Raine, seemingly hoping to see a look of resignation on Raine’s face.
"Mr. Rein, please continue."
Hearing this, although Raine also found it quite difficult, his primary goal was to obtain the ’Protector,’ thus completing the epic weapon—Imperial Twin Hamrs!
Though the challenge was significant, it hadn’t yet reached the point where he considered giving up.
"Alright." Lunen, seeing Raine’s calm deanor, couldn’t help but admire further and continued, "The Hernet family, if I recall correctly, should have twelve high-tier priests in the council, besides the matron."
"Hiss~"
"So, Mr. Lunen, first, we must take the first key from the Hernet family guardian chief, then find out which high-tier priest council mber holds the second key, and then get the second key from them."
Keller Kreit couldn’t help but gasp.
"Correct." Lunen raised a finger to emphasize, "And we must add another condition: the key from the guardian chief must be stolen without their awareness, or else..."
"They will strengthen the treasury’s defenses?"
"Exactly!" Lunen nodded.
"Moreover, even if we successfully acquire both keys, opening the treasury will trigger a passive alarm. Actually, to be accurate, it’s not an alarm but a notification; aning the matron will receive a ssage that the treasury has been opened. Fortunately, the entire treasury area prohibits space magic transmission, giving Mr. Rein about two to three minutes to find what he needs and make a quick exit."
