Chapter 73

Kilride's bunker was as ugly and dangerous as Desa himself, filled inside and out with Desa's creations—various magically modified creatures and voodoo dolls. Apart from these, there wasn't a single ordinary person. Such a place was indeed difficult for the average person to infiltrate, but Chu Ci didn't need to act personally. He sent out a few small, undetectable magical puppets, which easily slipped into the bunker under the watchful eyes of countless alert guard creatures.

Chu Ci connected to the magical puppets, using their vision to map out the structure of the bunker while Zhenhong and Shenhong calculated the entry route. It didn't take long for them to reach the deepest part of the bunker, a dungeon with iron doors tightly locked, where countless prisoners who had resisted the king were held. Under Desa's torture, they were weak and exhausted, with no spirit left. The magical puppets continued deeper into the dungeon and finally saw Aya through the iron door.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, slanting onto Aya's face. She faced the magical puppet outside the iron door with her eyes closed, her face calm and peaceful, as if conveying her submission to Chu Ci through the cold, insubstantial puppet.

"Quite beautiful," Chu Ci's eyebrows slightly raised. Compared to a vague mental scan, this was like the difference between cavalry and infantry. Elves, indeed, were the legendary magical race, each one naturally beautiful. Even so, Chu Ci didn't act rashly. He left one magical puppet hidden in the shadows while the others began searching the interior of the bunker.

Since he had come all this way, Chu Ci didn't want to leave empty-handed. Soon, a room that felt very familiar to him appeared in the eyes of the magical puppet. Through the crystal window, a magic lamp made of bloodstone illuminated the room, where a solidified magic array was on the ground. This was a magician's essential workshop, like an alchemist's, kept quiet, with strict lighting and no smoke, and absolute gravitational balance.

Rows of magic potions that made Chu Ci drool were displayed on stands, and on the table was a small bag of the most precious Amber Green that Chu Ci had ever seen. At the end of the room, a rack held a set of old-fashioned, unattractive clothes, but Chu Ci knew that this outfit had the same defensive power as the alchemy suit he had spent three days and the main god space to modify.

Not to mention the various energy stones and the stack of magic books reaching the ceiling—this was all reward points and money.

However, Chu Ci wasn't blinded by greed. Instead, he carefully examined every brick and tile outside the room, finally detecting a faint magical fluctuation on the iron door. This wasn't a malicious magic trap but a simple warning array. However, Chu Ci used the multi-visual advantage of the magical puppets to find a hidden teleportation array in a blind spot.

If he really thought that removing the warning array would ensure his safety, the moment the warning array disappeared, the slight disturbance in the elements would activate the teleportation array, pulling Desa from elsewhere.

"But who says I have to leave through the front door?" Chu Ci smiled. It wasn't his workshop, so he didn't fear causing destruction.

The windows and walls were also not an option, so Chu Ci directly controlled the puppet to sneak to the floor above the workshop. Under the control of Zhenhong and Shenhong, the magical puppet reached directly above the workshop, which was a guard room. The door hinges creaked, revealing four beds and a wooden rack with a lone flail hanging on it.

Seeing a weapon, Chu Ci immediately had the magical puppet rush in, successfully killing a guard on break and concealing its presence.

Next came the tedious work of breaking through the wall. The magical puppet couldn't use magic to cut, so it repeatedly used the puppet's body to erode the floor, making it fragile. Then, two magical puppets enhanced with transformation alchemy turned into giant mantises, using their sharp scythes to dig a round hole in the floor, quietly lifting the stone slab.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Chu Ci almost wanted to give Desa a good person award. This batch of materials, roughly calculated, was worth at least 10,000 reward points and five B-rank side quests. He hadn't expected to get it so easily.

While the magical puppets were moving the materials, Chu Ci found another pleasant surprise.

Earlier, there were still many corners he couldn't see outside the workshop. Now that the magical puppet had successfully entered the workshop and taken Desa's magic robe, there was a silver-plated ceramic box under the rack.

For a magician, any magic item has its corresponding container. Some can only be stored in silver jars, otherwise, they will evaporate; others must be kept in wooden boxes, otherwise, they will deform. This ceramic box, with a silver-outlined enhanced magic array, was clearly one of them. There were no anti-theft measures on the box, so Chu Ci opened it directly. At first glance, he burst into laughter.

A milky white dragon egg lay quietly on velvet, the moonlight making it seem to breathe faintly.

Desa had sinister intentions.

Chu Ci immediately understood.

"I really want to give you a good person award, Desa." Chu Ci unceremoniously accepted the dragon egg. This must be a dragon egg Desa had stolen from the Dragon Valley. Even if Chu Ci stole it, Desa wouldn't dare to speak up but would try to hide it.

Thinking about the dragon egg, Chu Ci suddenly had a question. How did Aya get the first dragon egg? If he recalled the beginning of the original movie, then...

So, the elves weren't honest either.

The magical puppets made three or four trips, and Chu Ci sent a few more puppets to infiltrate, finally stealing everything. Satisfied, Chu Ci then set out to rescue the innocent female elf.

The dungeon had fewer warning arrays than the workshop, with only one at Aya's door. Chu Ci didn't bother to be subtle, directly having the magical puppet break through the wall, smashing it like a demolition. Before Aya could open her eyes, he slapped her on the forehead, knocking her out and breaking the spying magic in her eyes.

Such a big move had already alarmed the bunker's guards. Dozens of voodoo dolls with various weapons rushed into the dungeon, but due to the narrow space, only three or four truly engaged the magical puppets. They were quickly killed, and Chu Ci also directed the other puppets unsuitable for stealth to provide support outside. Working together, they defeated the voodoo dolls and magical creatures, escaping Kilride.

No matter how fast Desa reacted, by the time he arrived at the bunker through the teleportation array, Chu Ci had already put away the other puppets, carried Aya, and driven the twin-flying magic eagle, leaving leisurely while enjoying the evening breeze and the unique, forest-like natural fragrance of Aya.

Putting on a show and then running away, how exciting.
