Chapter 503 - 270: Bad Luck and Good Luck (Part 3)

What caught Raine’s attention was not the forging blueprints, but the two crystal tower restoration maps among them.

The crystal tower is a crucial node in a large-scale array, so when restoring it, the surrounding map needs to be incorporated. These two, right in front of him, happen to encompass more than eighty percent of the core area of the Hernet Family’s residence.

For instance, the warehouse, banquet hall, underground vault, meeting room, head guard’s quarters, etc., are all marked in detail. These are areas that the crystal network’s conduits need to avoid.

Raine’s gaze was instantly fixed on the head guard’s quarters.

’Looks like I’m in luck.’

’It’s the first room on the left in the second-floor corridor.’

’With this, I won’t have to find another way later.’ Raine felt a surge of joy in his heart.

He hadn’t expected to find such an important gain here with Zaryan.

Originally, his plan was to later transform into Zaryan, find an opportunity to cast the Surface Mind Reading Spell on an internal guard or maid, and locate the head guard’s room.

But without a doubt, this carried certain risks.

Now, he had directly bypassed this step.

In fact, Zaryan couldn’t be blamed for being unaware of potential dangers.

Because under normal circumstances, even if one knows where the head guard’s room and vault are, ordinary people could not infiltrate. Even if the blueprints are seen, it really doesn’t matter much.

’Now I just need to make sure to sneak in when the head guard is absent, then...’

’Wait, if Zaryan was called to a meeting by the head guard, doesn’t that mean the head guard should likely be in the meeting room too?’

Suddenly, a flash of insight crossed Raine’s mind, like lightning cutting through a dark mist.

Raine glanced at the wardrobe next to him, where Zaryan’s usual clothes were, and made a decision immediately.

He swiftly removed all his clothes except the Counterattacker, folded them neatly, and placed them under a pile of clothes.

Then he put on Zaryan’s outfit. As the Transformation Spell activated, in the next second, a vivid replica of the forging master Zaryan appeared in the room.

Subsequently, Raine slightly opened the door, glanced around the corridor on both sides, saw no guards, which put his mind at ease, and he immediately stepped out.

"Master Zaryan."

On his way to the main building, guards respectfully bowed to Zaryan.

When he arrived at the main building, the elite drow at the entrance gave Zaryan a puzzled look and said, "Master Zaryan, when did you go out again? Weren’t you supposed to still be in a meeting?"

"Something happened at the forge, and I just went to handle it."

The two guards exchanged glances, still somewhat surprised, but they nodded since the reason was plausible.

Perhaps, Master Zaryan had rushed out through the back door.

As he was allowed through, Raine calmly walked towards the second floor, observed slightly around the corner of the stairs, found a break in the patrol, then quickly moved to the first room on the left, and took out the Master Key Lunen had given him from his pocket.

Though it’s called a Master Key, it’s not truly universal; for example, it cannot open the vault that requires two keys, but it can open most doors.

Not only had Lunen given Raine a Master Key, but he also hand-drew a sample of possible vault key types.

The special nature of vaults meant their keys were also special and relatively easy to recognize.

"Click!"

With the sound of the lock opening, Raine’s alertness shot to its peak!

After all, the head guard’s absence and other such conditions were his guesses. While these guesses were likely more than ninety percent accurate, one can never guarantee that an unexpected situation won’t arise.

The room door gradually opened a crack...
