Only to see Raine pick up the Warhamr for a quick inspection, then imdiately tear open the Any Door Scroll.
Although there was a teleportation interference array preventing pinpoint transportation, it didn’t matter much to Raine; his priority was to vacate the premises as quickly as possible.
As the blue light flashed, Raine disappeared from sight!
At the sa ti.
"Ah!!"
In a bedroom within a noble estate, ca the sudden scream of a Drow female!
Feeling a bit awkward, Raine glanced at the nearly naked Drow girl before him and hastily said "Sorry" as he hurried out, simultaneously casting an Invisibility Spell and Flying Spell, heading swiftly towards the exit of Eres City.
anwhile.
Just as the vault door of the Hernet Family was opened at that mont.
Deep in the residence, inside a spacious prayer room, a middle-aged Drow woman wearing a black crystal spider crown and exuding authority, frowned slightly, her face full of surprise.
Although the guard had just reported to her that the captain of the guards, Narrell, was performing a covert spy check, the vault door had been opened unexpectedly. This occurrence was completely beyond her expectations.
"Narrell is becoming more useless by the day."
Matron Lorina displeasedly rose, taking over the spider scepter handed by a nearby maid, leaving the prayer room that stood a giant statue of the goddess Rose, and proceeded outside.
At the sa ti.
High-tier Priest Siriel and the captain of the guards, Narrell, arrived almost simultaneously at the underground passage, scanning the ground littered with corpses, particularly noticing the headless body in dark purple ornate priest robes, their eyes suddenly widening!
"Damn, Priest Natalia is dead!" The captain of the guards, Narrell, said with a face ashen.
"How is this possible?!" exclaid Siriel, a Drow High-tier Priestess.
Being a fellow high-tier priest, Siriel knew very well the prowess of Natalia.
Though Natalia ranked second last among the twelve priests of the Hernet Family guild, she was indisputably a high-tier transcendent.
For Siriel, it was inconceivable to kill Natalia in such a short period.
Could the enemy be legendary?
But then, as both seed to realize sothing, they imdiately cast their gaze towards the vault door.
As the wide-open vault door ca into view, their hearts were struck with even more shock!
’No, the vault!’
However, after they swiftly examined the inside, their faces showed further astonishnt.
Because upon preliminary inspection, they found that the most important seven legendary pieces of equipnt were not stolen; the boxes remained intact. Guard captain Narrell, not quite trusting his own eyes, even opened each treasure chest for another look.
"Strange, what on earth is the opponent’s goal?" Narrell murmured.
"Narrell, isn’t there a missing treasure here?" At this ti, Siriel, being perceptive, noticed a seeming void in one corner of the shelf.
Originally that spot should have been displaying a piece of magic equipnt.
"Epic level treasure?"
Narrell glanced at the relatively obscure empty space, trying hard to recall, surprisingly unable to imdiately rember what this equipnt actually was?
At that mont, a rather imposing female voice sounded from outside the vault: "Narrell, I’m very disappointed in you."
"Matron..." Upon hearing this voice, Naria trembled slightly and then imdiately bowed and saluted, while High-tier Priest Siriel also placed her right hand across her chest, offering a slight bow.
This was a show of respect for the family’s highest authority, and also basic etiquette to a legendary powerhouse.
Seeing the matron arrive, the guard captain Narrell began reporting instantly, including the capture of a human Empire’s spy, the sacrifice of High-tier Priest Natalia, and the theft of not very important epic level treasure.
Even after hearing her guard captain’s recounting, Matron Lorina was quite amazed.
"You just said the opponent infiltrated the vault, and didn’t take any legendary equipnt, rather took an epic level piece of magic equipnt?"
Seven treasure boxes stood before them, each containing legendary magic equipnt of incalculable worth, and yet the opponent didn’t take any?
Of course, if they took the legendary magic equipnt from the boxes, she would imdiately be able to pinpoint the opponent’s location, which would be far more convenient.
Because the seven legendary magic equipnt had been stamped with extrely unique magic and dual bloodline marks, virtually impossible to erase in a short ti, even for a legendary formidable.
"Yes, Matron, that’s also the puzzling part for both myself and Priest Siriel." The guard captain Narrell said with a frown.
"If today’s entire matter was a plan of the surface human Urein Empire, then their actual intent, could it truly be for an epic level piece of magic equipnt?"
"Guard captain, here’s the treasure list." At this mont, a guard hurried over, first respectfully saluting the matron, then handing a list made from Gray Dwarf skin to guard captain Narrell.
Narrell read rapidly, his gaze skimming over the recorded treasures, soon landing on an epic level treasure classified as Warhamr.
"Matron, we can now confirm the missing item is the Protector."
"The Protector?" Matron Lorina furrowed her delicate brows, showing a confused expression.
"Matron, it’s one of the twin hamrs of the Gray Dwarf King." High-tier Priest Siriel tily reminded.
"Twin hamrs of the emperor? Oh, so mory of that."
"So, could the intruder be a Gray Dwarf?" Guard captain Narrell speculated thoughtfully.
