Chapter 504 - 271: The First Treasure Vault Key

At this moment, to say Raine wasn’t nervous would definitely be a lie.

On full alert, he could clearly hear his own pounding and accelerating heartbeat.

Although skills come with courage, one must also consider the occasion and environment.

Currently, Raine was not in an ordinary monster nest of the Underdark, but at the residence of the Hernet Family, ranked second in strength among the Drow Elves.

Elite guards at Level 5 Classes or above were stationed every ten steps and a sentry every five steps.

Even the rarely seen extraordinary strong person from the outside world would find at least ten or more on the first floor of the main building where Raine was.

Furthermore, if the matron of the Hernet Family was also present, it would mean that if Raine made a mistake, he might alarm a legendary strong person.

So, after several seconds passed and the entire room came into view, Raine finally sighed deeply!

He swiftly stepped inside the room.

He glanced around.

The walls of the room were made of polished, dark gray volcanic rock, looking rather high-end.

Although similar to the corridor walls, the inside walls had copious amounts of intricate shallow reliefs with patterns mostly of Rose Spider holy emblems and web designs.

The floor was covered with a dense carpet with central patterns and edges decorated with thin metallic threads in gold and silver, very exquisite.

In the center of the room was a gray-brown wooden desk.

Behind the desk was a silver-framed metal bookshelf occupying most of the wall, densely packed with many books.

On the left side of the desk stood a black spider statue as tall as the desk itself, its eight legs folded, its eyes inlaid with two amethysts, lifelike as if a real spider had been encapsulated instantly by black gemstones.

At the same time.

Raine vaguely smelled a bizarre sweet scent in the room.

’What is this smell?’

Raine’s nostrils twitched slightly, and he frowned a bit.

He frowned not because of the fragrance, boasting a high toxin resistance due to the elite enchanting demon bloodline, Raine wasn’t afraid of the scent being toxic; he frowned because there was nowhere in sight where a key was placed.

Apparently, the key must have been specially hidden away.

’Where is the first treasure vault key?’

Soon, Raine focused his gaze on the spider statue.

The reason was, on the way here, Raine, Meredith, and Lunen discussed this issue—where might Commander Narrell hide the treasure vault key?

Roughly three possibilities:

One, carrying it personally.

Two, within the study.

Three, take it home.

Both Meredith and Lunen thought that the Commander would not carry it personally.

Because even if he was the Commander, holding a high position, he had his personal life, he wasn’t only active within the residence, and carrying the treasure vault key outside would pose safety issues, so it was likely cherished somewhere else.

Raine also agreed with this judgment.

And then, ’take it home’ was ruled out.

Because one could envisage that if the matron wanted to go to the treasure vault one day, it would be inconvenient to retrieve it from home, also, even the Commander’s home wasn’t as secure as the family’s main building.

Thus, only the second option remained: within the study.

This was also why Raine decided to stay when he was in Zaryan’s room and took the opportunity to come to Commander Narrell’s study.

His footsteps fell silently on the thick carpet.

In an instant, Raine was beside the spider statue.

Upon approach, Raine studied carefully; the black spider statue seemed to be carved from a single gemstone, without any visible seams or protrusions.

Thinking a bit, Raine invested part of his attention to the sixteen-grid pouch, and equipped a bloodline icon that hadn’t been used for a long time—Deep Moss Spider Bloodline.

The Deep Moss Spider Bloodline, Raine acquired it long ago and it had provided considerable aid in his growth journey; however, as he grew stronger and acquired more monster bloodlines, this particular bloodline had been dormant for quite some time.

This time, the intent behind activating the Deep Moss Spider Bloodline was none other than for ’Sensitive Touch Lv2’.

Deep Moss Spider Bloodline is the only monster bloodline with Level 2 Sensitive Touch.

With his fingertip lightly brushing against the icy yet smooth gemstone surface, the traits of the spider gemstone conveyed to Raine’s brain entirely without omission.

After merely several seconds, his fingertip paused, instantly sensing an unnatural pattern, not ruptured, but seemingly delineated post-hoc.

With a light press of his finger, a ’click’ sounded, and the central section of the stone column beneath the spider statue instantly popped out a hidden compartment.

Raine immediately rejoiced, carefully drew it out.

Inside the rectangular compartment, a fine metal rod hung with no less than six keys.

’Found them?!’

’This is great!’

’Hold on, something’s off!’

Raine frowned, and his outstretched hand retracted once more.

Because he recalled Meredith’s father, forging master Lunen had specifically reminded him, although different drow families’ treasure vaults keys might vary, they generally adhere to two points.

The first point being the shape characteristic; due to the primary importance of the treasure vault keys, to honor the goddess Rose, they must have a spider sculpture as the key handle.
