Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 751 The way of experts



The prime auction house of the capital city of the empire, Hiraani. One of the biggest structures of the vast capital on par with the golden imperial palace, the hexagonal tower of adventurer\'s association, and the Temple.

Covering an area bigger than three to four high noble estates of the capital city combined, the white structure covered in gold and magical arts that one couldn\'t possibly miss while looking from the sky, Hiraani stood as a testament of dedication, passion, and a single individual\'s pride.

It was a great structure that was not only an auction house, an important event site, and a place containing countless riches, it was also a place where the simple people who worked and maintained this place lived with their families.

It was a home, a place to gamble their money for the rich, the places where one who wanted to hit it big could try their luck and intuition.

It was an auction house that most people, especially people with money, people of high society undoubtedly knew about.

And overmorrow was going to be the first day of the annual grand auction that lasts for three days, the day where those with money visit the capital of Roxanna to buy and sell precious items that could be useful to them or someone related to them…

{ "Reconnaissance complete. Gate strength: Tier-7. Outer guard strength: Tier-8. Inner Guard strength: Tier-8. Inner security system: Tier-9. Structural management: Tier-8. Structural manual management: Tier-9. Individual personal strength: Tier-6. Combined personal strength per section: Tier-8. First area breach success rate: 45%. Second area breach success rate: 60%. Third area breach success rate: 27%. Fourth area breach success rate: 18%. Fifth area breach success rate: 9%. Sixth area breach success rate: 0.3%.

Overall task difficulty: Tier-10." }

The main gate of the auction house was a pretty normal looking metal door that was open all the time, so the door that \'they\' were worrying about was not this simple looking front gate that most people use.

One wouldn\'t have to worry about this kind of attractive but normal gate, however it was a different matter altogether for the thieves that were aiming for the riches stored behind the inner gates of the action house that could not just be accessed by any person.

{ "It looks impossible just as I have heard… I like this." }

There were regulations and set rules in place for everything in this grand auction house. The management of the nobles who were going to sit in the general room and the ones who would be in the special rooms on the balcony was closely watched over and a guarded mechanism that one couldn\'t just ignore.

Especially as thieves, they could not possibly overlook the general public that would be present in the target area when they had to keep every single thing in that place in mind.

They weren\'t invited guests in that place, and since they knew the fact that the owners off this auction house already knew a good bit about them, their identity had already been exposed to the opposite party.

Which made the \'going in there in a disguise\' technique utterly pointless.

{ "The target identification surveillance devices that are capable of distinguishing between even a skill\'s disguise and the original are out of this world.

We do not know the composition or structure of these devices however, even with just the outside observations of these hundreds of devices present in every corner of this facility confirms the impossibility of a disguise going unnoticed." }

{ "Though, we do not have to worry about them, I presume?" }

{ "As long as we get our hands on at least one of them, it is not impossible to create \'Skins\' that even god\'s eyes would mistake for the original." }

Black Hand, an alliance of ten world renowned thieves led by a mythical figure had set their eyes on the items that were Confirmed to have been stored in the second most secured area of this facility above the ground.

The auction house of Hiraani was protected by a powerful defence system that was developed by the leading magic engineers of this world, and perfected even further by the golden son of the Countess who owned this majestic castle.

It was possible for any being to step inside this place as they wished, however, it was impossible for even a simple fly to get out of the border of this building without the \'operators\' noticing them.

Going inside of this labyrinth like castle was a simple task, they could just walk from the front door while hiding from the eyes of the guards and the surveillance artifacts. But the main problem would start after they had cleared the first area, the front entrance.

{ "Good. Here you go, a little present." }

{ "As expected from the <King of stealth>." }

{ "Nice, we have not one but three of the surveillance artifacts now. We will leave everything to you, <Lord Twenty one hands>." }

{ "Yes." }

The ten thieves aiming for the artifacts that were Confirmed to appear in the auction house this time around were experts of their craft, people who knew what they had to do in any kind of situation, people who could produce unbelievable results even when working alone.

{ "Then let Us go over the outline one last time." }

There were a total of six security measures in place to prevent any kind of unexpected attack from the criminals like the members of the Black Hand. And the first of it was the security system that recognised and identified every single element inside Hiraani and around a specific area of the borders.

There were a total of six security measures in place to prevent any kind of unexpected attack from the criminals like the members of the Black Hand. And the first of it was the security system that recognised and identified every single element inside Hiraani and around a specific area of the borders.

{ "<Lord Twenty one hands> will create the skins that should allow everyone to get inside the target area. Not getting caught will be up to you, however, <Coin flipping Joker> will take care of the guards and the observers so that the others could get past the first area." }

There were ten of them, and every single one of them were on par with world renowned grandmasters of the production or artistic fields.

Reverse engineering an artifact even as complex as something Eon made with his advanced knowledge and creating a counter for it was a minor task for someone who had understood the essence of machinery magic.

And since Hiraani was open to all who wanted to trade and try their luck, getting in from the front door and stealing the surveillance devices without anyone noticing was something a master of stealth technique could pull off any day.

{ "<Zack> will then interfere with the security system and redirect the on duty staff to create a little chaos while at the same time, <Laughing tears> will infiltrate the third area and open the path to the second one for the rest." }

Eon\'s security system was a higher version of what Hiraani had for many years, something far more advanced than anywhere else in this world. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, even if he had made it with all his knowledge, even if he knew there were only a handful of people in this world who could even understand his magic system, he had no doubt there were geniuses out there that could even crack the magic system created by a divine being.

He had faith in his organisation, but if one of the people coming after them was the infamous \'Code cracker\' or as some people called him, the \'Origin of magic\' <Zack>, he knew his unbreakable system was going to fall, even if it was just for a brief period.

Eon was expecting it already, that was the reason he had made no changes into the existing magic security.

{ "After taking over the third area, <Jackal of stars>, along with <Uranus Vortex> and <Wind of Light> will handle everything and open up the path to the fourth and fifth area, where <Neon Blademaster> and I will will go ahead and infiltrate the last area." }

The employees of Hiraani were all high ranking adventurers and experts that Eon and her mom\'s close ones had trained themselves. They weren\'t someone that would fall to just any \'strong\' opponent. They were strong individually, and when working together, they were several times stronger. Not even high ranking masters, [Rank-5] Rooks or (tier-7) high ranking mages could get past the layered security structure that was in place to guard the storage facility where all the items were stored during the auction.

They were strong, and there were hundreds of them so dealing with them would usually take a long time if one was not a king rank expert weapon user, or someone close to an elder mage who could ignore the power suppression of the defensive magic system completely.

{ "Hmmm… then, is sir <Black Angel> confident they will get past the Great emissary in the sixth area?" }

{ "We do not know that yet, Sir Jackal. However, we will certainly find it out when we are out there." }

{ "Kheyaeyaeyaeya~. I love the way you say it, Sir Black angel~." }

The ten of them had a rough idea of what they had to do, but this was in no way a \'plan\'.

It was just a rough outline of what they were supposed to do and even though they had little knowledge of what would happen when they start their operation on the D-day, they were looking forward to everything.

They had no fear of what might happen to them or any doubt that they would be caught by the authorities.

They had done worse things in their lifetimes, and they still freely roamed the world.

The world wouldn\'t call them the worst thieves of the current age, if they weren\'t even capable of escaping the grasps of the authorities.

They were criminals, however, if the good authorities and the noble people were going to follow the laws and their lives weren\'t at stake here, they didn\'t mind going after a treasure that could change their lives or the better.

And, if push came to shove… they could always just make a deal with them.

The world was all about business anyway.

Their habit of compulsive theft certainly had earned them some good fortune to spend on themselves.
