After looking around, making sure there was no one nearby, I took out my dagger and walked to the back of the carriage. Opening locks was too troublesome, so I inserted the blade directly into the lock and twisted it, forcefully breaking the lock.

The first compartment opened, filled with various types of food - raw meat, fruits, and ingredients neatly categorized.

In the second compartment, there were all sorts of clothes - suits, dresses, any kind of outfit you could think of. Even as a disguise, these things were too complete, weren't they?

I looked towards the last compartment and silently pried the door open.

With a clatter, countless metal parts spilled out from the compartment. I quickly dodged to avoid being buried by the parts.

When the parts stopped rolling out, I approached and pushed them aside, then saw a huge box at the bottom.

"What is this..."

I continued to remove the nearby parts and pulled the box out from inside.

"Let me see, let me see, what kind of good stuff is this? To use this to conceal it, it must be something extraordinary."

As I smiled, I rotated the box to face me. However, to my disappointment, there was still a lock on it. Moreover, it was not an ordinary lock, but a magical one.

Does this kind of thing still exist? It's really something.

Magical locks are basically very risky locks, because they rely on magic to work. Generally, they can only be locked for about 3 to 5 days. Compared to regular locks, it's easy for users to forget and lose their items.

But...

Someone who is willing to use it definitely wouldn't want to forget, because generally, those are very important items.

Although this thing is very valuable, but... it's not difficult for me, actually.

Because...

I have studied orthodox lock-picking techniques and even have a thief main quest!

Skilfully, I took out the magic lock breaking device, pressed it on top, and pressed the button. With a snap, the crystal on the cracker lit up a bit, and the magical lock opened.

A magic lock that has been drained of magic is simply useless. This is also another reason why magic locks have been eliminated. As long as you find the corresponding element device, it's easy to unlock. I have all kinds of magic stones on me, even if it's made with undead magic stones, I can still open it the same way.

After unlocking the lock, the box slowly opened by itself. I was shocked when I looked inside, besides ten silver beads, there was also a humanoid wearing white armor!

Yes, a humanoid, because I saw movable joints on it. Although it's not very obvious, when it was always together with the pure white, I could notice these details.

Although the pure white is a Shikigami, it was constructed based on a humanoid.

But what I'm more interested in is the white armor on her body. This armor doesn't look like ordinary armor, but equipment made with more advanced technology.

And it seems like this armor is stuck to the skin of the humanoid, I wonder what that means.

Could it be a humanoid completely made for combat, so it directly became a skin armor?

But what about that exquisite face?

Could it be used to deceive enemies? The creator must have had a hidden agenda, definitely designed by a woman?

However...

It looks impressive, so since I've seen it, there's no reason not to accept it!

And it's still a mission prompt from dear World, which means it's still somewhat useful!

I nodded slightly and opened the ring, ready to put it inside.

But just as I activated the ring and opened the item bar, a white light shot out directly from my ring and after drawing an arc in mid-air, it landed inside the humanoid's body!

Then, the humanoid's armor slowly changed its form, transitioning from its original angular state to becoming softer, and under the illumination of the light, the white armor actually transformed into a white gown!

The humanoid's face also slowly changed, morphing into another state!

This...

Could it be...

I silently looked at my ring, and the empty space that was previously at the last position now turned into broken soil.

Yes, that position should have been a pure white space!

Hey, what's this joke? Could it be that the light from earlier was...

Just as I looked at the glowing humanoid in confusion, it suddenly jumped up from the ground and stood straight in front of me!

My goodness, don't scare me, okay? Are you a zombie?

"Master, good morning~"

I didn't expect this guy to actually speak like that.

"Good... morning..."

"Master, why are you so down? In the morning, you should... Huh? Did we get attacked? Why are there corpses all over the place?"

"It's nothing, it's just dealing with some annoying enemies. By the way, don't you remember what happened before you fell asleep?"

"...Hmm?"

The other tilted its head and thought for a moment, then shook its head.

"No relevant memories."

"I see..."

Could petrification also affect memories?

Well, let's not dwell on that question for now. It's a good thing that Pure White woke up, but what should we do next...

I've got it!

Just blame those mercenaries!

Thinking that, I closed the lid of the box, threw it into the compartment, and then threw all the components back in!

Anyway, Tusu was probably too shocked by the previous situation to notice anything, right?

"Alright, Pure White, later on, say that you rushed here from the city to meet up with us, okay?"

"No problem, Master."

Pure White answered with a smile.

"But, Master, what about Bai?"

"Oh, right."

Only then did I remember Bai still lying over there and hurriedly ran over.

But before I could reach halfway, I saw him do a flip.

"Don't mind me, just let me rest for a bit."

Bai Yueguang said tiredly.

"...Well, Pure White, carry him onto the carriage, let's go."

"Hey hey hey! I think I can get up now! Hey!"

I smiled and jumped onto the carriage, saying to him.

"Let's go, we still have many missions to handle."
