Haste makes waste.
Anxiety can lead to mistakes.
Li Nuo knows these truths.
He wanted to get the things in the tent as soon as possible, but he still maintained a calm mind and did not let his urgency affect him.
He looked towards the camp, his eyes scanning over the camping tents.
The commander of the Imperial Army, Sergeant Alvin, is bedridden.
Temporary commander Pim left the camp on the pretext of rescuing the commander. He was now borrowed by Li Nuo from the Shark Man and died at the hands of Murphya.
There is no doubt that the command authority on the scene is vacant and no one controls it.
Each combat team can only face the enemy according to the predetermined combat plan.
The person responsible for supervising the battle was Sergeant Alvin's guard.
They followed their superiors in continuous high-intensity battles, overdrawing a large number of lives and causing serious battle losses.
Now only four guards appear on the defense line, barely maintaining order in the battle.
As for Sergeant Pim's guards, they were all taken away by Pim himself and were not in the camp at this time.
This means that Pim's tent is likely to be unattended!
As long as you avoid the guards supervising the battle, you can explore Pym's tent.
Li Nuo thought for a moment, squatted down, and picked up the ammunition box on the ground.
He trotted away from Barrier 8, pretending to be in urgent need of replenishing ammunition, and ran past the guards standing on the high platform.
"Crime Soldier No. 888!" The guard held his rifle and stared at the soldiers on the defense line. As soon as he saw Li Nuo running out of the bunker, he looked over.
"Yes, sir!" Li Nuo stood still and looked up at the guard on the high platform.
The guard glanced at both sides, bent slightly, and said to Li Nuo:
"Sergeant Alvin just woke up for a short while. He knew that Pim had exceeded his authority to interrogate you, and he was so angry that he passed out again. Don't worry, we will definitely settle the score with Pim for this matter."
"Thank you, sir."
"...You are the one who saved Sergeant Alvin and us sergeants after all. How could MI2 bully you? Otherwise, where would the faces of us sergeants be?"
The guard glanced in the direction of Barrier 8:
"It's a pity that the Mars team suffered heavy injuries. Corporal Micah was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and Sergeant Mars has not returned yet. It's not easy with only you as a criminal soldier..."
The guard lowered his head and glanced at the empty box in Li Nuo's hand:
"Are you out of ammunition? Go to the back and load it up."
"Yes, sir."
Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, accelerated across the high platform, and rushed into the tent-lined camp.
There was no one in the camp, and the soldiers coming and going in a hurry were all coming to carry ammunition from the rear.
Just avoid the route from the supply tent to the forward position.
Li Nuo saw the opportunity when there was no one on the road and ducked into the nearest tent.
He used the cover of curtains and the sound of gunfire from the front line to shuttle between tents.
In just three to five minutes, he arrived near Pim's tent.
As he suspected, Pim's tent was unattended.
This is somewhat unbelievable, but it is true. Who asked Pim to take away all his guards.
Pim is a mysophobic guy.
All the places where he stayed would be spotless and polished.
This is not a good thing for Li Nuo.
If you are not careful, he will leave obvious stains everywhere.
Such as clean carpets, neat tabletops, sheets without any wrinkles, etc. These areas are particularly conspicuous after being stained and can easily arouse others' suspicion.
Li Nuo stayed at the door curtain and did not enter rashly.
He retrieved Pim's memory fragments, played them in his mind, and compared them with the real scene in front of him.
Ten seconds later, Li Nuo looked at the bed in front of him on the right, his eyes locked on the encrypted metal box under the bed board.
The magic item is among them.
The metal box had an extremely complex mechanical lock.
But it doesn't matter.
Li Nuo already knew the password of the mechanical lock from the memory fragments.
It was a series of static numbers that would not change over time, with as many as 16 digits.
The only problem now is how to avoid leaving stains.
Li Nuo looked down at himself.
The blood and sewage dried on the military uniforms and turned into stubborn stains. The trouser legs were soaked and then dried by the cold wind. After drying, they were soaked again. Now they are almost swollen...
Not to mention the shoes, which were covered in mud from front to back.
It seems that I can only sacrifice myself...
Li Nuo took off his dirty coat and pants, then bent down and took off his stained shoes.
He hid these things outside the tent.
He also took off his socks, but he didn't put them outside. Instead, he put them on his hands and used them as temporary gloves.
Walking barefoot on the floor, Li Nuo came to the bedside, pulled out the metal box, turned the combination plate of the mechanical lock, and entered the correct mechanical code.
With a crisp "click" sound, the lock cylinder was released from the locked state, and the upper cover of the metal box was slowly opened by Li Nuo.
Facing the contents of the box, Li Nuo took a deep breath.
Li Nuo had seen it in memory fragments.
But now that he saw the real thing, Li Nuo couldn't help but be shocked by its extremely evil appearance.
This is a wand made purely of bone, about the length of a forearm, with a tapered front end and a thicker back end, like a slender spindle.
Li Nuo didn't know why Pim, an ordinary person, could hold a magic wand, but this did not prevent him from appreciating the wand.
Judging from Pym's memory, this wand is made of the phalanges of the little finger.
These bones come from different Imperial Lieutenants, the "Imperial Fists" who possess extraordinary abilities.
The core of the wand is even more unusual.
Although it is also a little finger, it comes from one of the Emperor's sons.
The slender snow-white finger bones will become as soft as cooked noodles after being soaked in a special agent.
The maker of the wand intertwined the finger bones together, braided them into a twist, and set a breathtaking dark green gem at the end of the wand.
Brilliant and flawless, smooth and bright.
The outline and material of the gemstone are impeccable.
Its presence makes the wand holder more comfortable to hold.
If you look carefully, you will find that the surface of the bone is densely covered with white runes as small as rice grains.
They are as white as ivory and as dead as bones.
This is the spell pattern written in necromantic runes, and it is also the secret of this wand.
From the selection of materials, to the production techniques, to the seemingly pure but actually malicious white necromantic runes, this wand reveals an evil aura everywhere.
Overall, this wand has one and only one drawback, and that is that it is unfinished.
There is an obvious notch at the tip, and it would take about three phalanges to piece together the perfect cone.
Now it looks like a strawberry with its tip bitten off.
Li Nuo watched it quietly for a while, without reaching out to pick it up and play with it.
In fact, the metal box that encased the wand was also extraordinary.
A large number of magic lines are carved into the metal box, which are used to seal the power of the wand and cover up the breath of the wand.
If Li Nuo takes out this magic wand, then the undead on the first and second underground floors will immediately enter a state of riot.
Pim used this wand to speed up the process of resurrecting the undead. What he did was not chanting a spell or casting a spell, he just took the wand out of the box for 3 seconds.
Faced with such a powerful weapon, Li Nuo, who had always been cautious, wisely chose to give up and did not intend to keep it for himself.
Li Nuo stared at the wand and muttered silently:
"Deconstruct this wand."
[System message: You are about to use deconstruction on the "unfinished wand". 】
[It is estimated that 15,000 energy points will be consumed to achieve 100% deconstruction completion. 】
[You currently have 500 energy points, which can increase the deconstruction completion rate to 3.3% at most. 】
【Are you sure to proceed with deconstruction? 】
15,000 energy points?
What level of magic prop is this wand?
Li Nuo's heart trembled and he frowned slightly.
To be honest, the demand for such a huge amount of energy far exceeded his expectations.
Li Nuo pondered for a moment and focused his eyes on the dark green gem:
"Deconstruct this gem, the system, don't deconstruct other things, I only deconstruct the gem."
[System message: You are about to use deconstruction on the "magic gem with an unknown name". 】
[It is estimated that 5,000 energy points will be consumed to achieve 100% deconstruction completion. 】
Li Nuo stared closely at the necromantic runes on the surface of the wand and threw the deconstruction spell again.
Well, as expected, deconstructing Necromantic Runes requires more energy than deconstructing gems, about 8,000 points. Since the level of Necronomicon Literature skill is 1, the system also gave a small discount of 1%.
One thousand and fifty thousand minus eight thousand minus five thousand, leaving two thousand.
Those two thousand should be on the finger bones.
Li Nuo thought for two seconds.
Between deconstructing gems, runes, and phalanges, he ultimately chose the Necromantic Rune.
"Leave 100 energy points for emergencies, just in case things or enemies catch me off guard."
Li Nuo held his breath, his heart pounding:
"System, consume 400 energy points to deconstruct the undead runes on the wand."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a violent dizziness in his mind.
A full 400 energy points were sucked away by the system.
The dizziness quickly dissipated, and Li Nuo got the deconstruction result.
[Deconstruction successful! 】
[Your deconstruction completion rate of "Rune of the Bone Wand" has been increased from 0% to 5%. 】
[Based on the degree of deconstruction completion, you obtain the following deconstruction results:]
[1. "Instruction Manual of the Bone-Setting Wand", completeness 5%. 】
[2. "Spell Blueprint: Fear", 50% complete. 】
[3. The original manuscript of "The Ten Commandments of Martyrdom: General Outline", 100% complete. 】
"A new death spell. "Fear", the name sounds like a control spell. I can finally confront the enemy head on!
"Also, this "Ten Commandments of Martyrdom: General Outline" is complete, not a fragment. The only regret is that it is not a 'full text', but only a 'general outline'...
"No matter what, I will definitely make a profit this time!"
Li Nuo's pupils shrank sharply, he was wild with surprise, and his heartbeat accelerated instantly.
"Can't get carried away! I have to leave here quickly, otherwise things will change!"
He forcibly suppressed his inner joy, covered the metal box with a steady movement, and set the dial of the mechanical combination lock back to its original number.
After pushing the metal box under the bed and confirming that everything was restored to its original state and that he had not left any traces, Li Nuo came to the door curtain, quickly put on his clothes and shoes, and left.
After carefully arriving at the supplies tent, Li Nuo carried the ammunition box back to the road in a decent manner and rushed towards the front line barrier.
On the way, he passed by his team's tent.
He stopped briefly, took out his backpack from the tent and put it on his back, and then rushed to the front line with the heavy ammunition box in his arms.
Guards stood on the high platform to maintain the order of the battle.
When he saw Li Nuo coming back, he glanced at the other party's backpack and said:
"...Oh, you went back to the tent to get food and medicine. No wonder you were there for so long."
"Yes, sir. I feel that this battle will last for a long time, so prepare to put some supplies in the barrier in advance..."
The guard thought for a while, waved to Li Nuo and said:
"...You reminded me. The last time everyone had a meal was 3 hours ago. Well, criminal soldier No. 888, anyway, your team does not have enough people to form a decent firepower unit. Then don't go to Barrier 8 ”
The guard gestured in the smoke-filled position:
"Help me run around and bring more food and water to the front line, and distribute them to the fighting teams in other fortresses."
"Okay, sir! I'm going right now!"
Li Nuo crossed his feet, turned around, and walked quickly towards the other barrier.
After handing over the food and medicine in his backpack, he jogged back to the camp to carry new supplies.
The guard on the high platform stood high and could see far away. He saw Li Nuo's figure in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh:
"Sin Soldier No. 888 is really a great guy who abides by discipline and is eager to help others! But it's a pity that he was not very lucky. For the first time he went on a mission with the legion, he met a mid-level necromancer priest and a high-level spiritual master... .”
