Once we approach the entrance underground, I'm happy to see three large men standing outside the heavy metal door that leads to the underside of her workshop.
After a quick inspection and appraisal, I can see all of them are between level 300 and 400. This is nearing Elite levels, and is surely the top of the line security one can get in a place like this.
There's no way any common thieves, or even professionals who have surpassed C Class could infiltrate this security without causing quite the commotion.
I use my telepathy skill to send a message to Bri, three floors above me to let her know I'm here, but step up to the security guards in the same instant to test them and see if they'll do their jobs.
Ember and I stand before them with zero detectable mana radiating off of our bodies, and I speak up.
"I have a meeting with Bri. I'd appreciate it if you'd let us pass."
Using my conceal skill, mixed with the hidden attributes of my cloak, and new silver essence of infinite regeneration; I have it shape shift into a perfect replica of a D-Class Association Hunter's ID with a picture of the face that I'm using to conceal myself right now.
"There's my ID, you can see I'm just a normal hunter. I have some rare items farmed from the new dungeons out in the forest."
I point to Ember and smile.
"My partner here is unregistered, but you can just consider him my security. We work as a team here—"
The guard takes a step forward and snatches the ID out of my hand while the other two guards step in front of the large locked door. He eyes us up and down, then looks over the card before shoving it back in my face.
"Move along. I don't really care what you have to sell. You're not in Ms. Briana's meeting schedule today, I suggest you don't show your face around here again unless you have official business."
I smile inwardly as I take the ID back. They're certainly up to par with my initial expectations, but I want to try one more thing before Bri gets all the way downstairs to stop my fun.
I pull out a handful of gold coins in one hand, and an earth element stone farmed from the 38th floor of the labyrinth in my other, creating mana shielding around it to make sure the excess earth magic flying off of it isn't too extreme.
"Come on, here, just a small token of my appreciation to let me pass, I want to sell this stone to your boss, there's no one else in the city that will give me a better price."
His eyes widen for a moment at the sheer amount of gold in my hand and the rarity of the stone I'm holding, but his iron will doesn't budge. He replies as the door behind him opens.
"It's still a no. There will be no customers allowed inside unless they are on Ms. Briana's invite list. This is not negotiable."
A familiar voice calls from behind them as Bri stares past the three guards straight at me with an amused look on her face.
"Let them through, boys. I can fit them in before my important meeting tonight. These two were just testing you. You passed."
She sighs and the three guards move aside with confusion while Ember and I walk through them.
I put the earth stone back in my pocket which leads to my item storage and flick three gold coins in the air behind me before placing the rest back in my storage too.
They land in the hands of the guards as the door closes behind us. Bri gives them a nod and turns with a smile.
"Keep up the good work."
