Ainz - Lockpicking item

Ainz took out a magic item shaped like a board.

It was the artifact Epigonoi.

The item could be used only seven times, but it had lock-picking abilities on par with a level-90 thief.

It was incredibly rare, so he didn’t really want to use it, but he hadn’t summoned any minions with high-level lock-picking skills. The eight-edged assassins were specialized in stealth combat and had next to no lock-picking ability.

“I guess I have no choice.”

Ainz usually had a hard time using rare items he had managed to acquire. The reason he could do it this time with only a little hesitation was probably the promise of treasure.

He pointed the artifact at the treasury door and unleashed its power.

Peeking through the narrow opening, Ainz exchanged a firm handshake with Gondo.

Neither of them had any words. But their faces said it all.
