Li Nuo stood beside the wand and meditated, his eyes moving on the magic protective shield, as if he was trying to distinguish the undead runes on the protective shield.
He raised the rune stick, looked around, and gave a signal that he was about to modify the undead runes, so that the surrounding lieutenants could be mentally prepared.
Captain Murphy's said:
"Just modify the undead runes with confidence and boldness. Even if there are mistakes and trigger a "Death Storm", it doesn't matter. The power of this magic protective shield is very weak, and it is not enough to threaten your life and ours. "
"Yes, sir."
Li Nuo nodded, stretched out the rune stick, and placed the contact point on the surface of the magic protective shield.
After drawing more than a dozen lines in succession, a gap opened in the magic protective shield, and black death energy spurted out, which was quickly diluted by the air and disappeared without a trace.
The lieutenants' breathing became heavier, as if they were shocked by the scene before them.
Li Nuo put down the rune stick in his hand and said in the surprised eyes of the lieutenants:
"Report, sir. I only recognize a small part of the necromancy runes on this magic protective shield. I have made changes to the necromancy runes I know. I have not made any changes to the rest of the necromancy runes."
"Very good, Jarvis." Captain Murphy's cover the metal box, put it back at his feet, and then said to the lieutenants on both sides:
"Do you believe it now? As long as the original text and translation are in hand, and paired with a rune stick, anyone can modify the undead runes. It is not only monks of the undead sect or members of the death-telling society who can do it. .”
Lieutenant Slack crossed his fingers on the table, made eye contact with the other lieutenants in the meeting, and nodded to each other.
Lieutenant Slack said:
"Then Sir Murphy's, we accept your proposal. Private Jarvis can join the elite team and cooperate with us in carrying out military operations near the underground river. However, we have reservations about Private Jarvis's loyalty."
Lieutenant Slack flipped through the file in front of him:
"We have noticed that Private Jarvis has not received a systematic education from the Imperial Military Academy. In other words, he has no credible record in terms of loyalty assessment. He has also never sworn an oath under the emperor's holy statue. Compared to Under the circumstances, Sergeant Mars, as an outstanding graduate of the Imperial Military Academy, possesses sufficient faith and unquestionable loyalty, and has also studied modern literature and pedagogy."
Lieutenant Slack paused, looked at the cold Captain Murphya and said:
"We hope that Sergeant Mars will also participate in this operation and be responsible for supervising Private Jarvis throughout the entire process. The translation will be carried by Sergeant Mars. If there is another opportunity for cooperation, we hope that Sergeant Mars will to modify the Necromantic Runes. Alternatively, Private Jarvis, who has completed Imperial military education, can take on this job."
Captain Murphya slowly exhaled smoke:
"Cultivating historian talents is not an easy task, Slack. Jarvis' ability to memorize translations in such a short period of time, and at the same time be able to modify the undead runes accurately, relies on his accumulation of knowledge in the past few years. Rather than luck and military training. But since you mentioned it, this is indeed a problem. After Jarvis completes these two legion missions, I will find an opportunity to send him to the Imperial Military Academy."
Lieutenant Slack opened his mouth, hesitated and said:
"Sir Murphy, maybe you forgot one thing..."
"No, I didn't forget."
Captain Murphya stopped the topic, put out his cigarette butt and looked at the lieutenants at the scene and said:
"Now that you are sure to let Private Jarvis join the operation, let's get ready. Set off on time in half an hour... Jarvis will stay and the rest will disband."
"Yes, sir."
The lieutenants stood up, raised their hands in salute, passed by Li Nuo, and left the tent.
After the others left, Captain Murphyya and Li Nuo, who was left alone in the tent, said:
"A spy from MI4 reported that the Necronomicon Cult is transporting a batch of vital magic ore. A fleet of six cargo ships will pass under Tomb No. 717. The riot in Tomb No. 717 is related to this Related to the Necron Fleet.
"In fact, wherever this undead fleet sails, there will be riots in the tombs. The so-called tomb riots are the measures taken by the Necronomicon Cult to prevent the empire from destroying the shipping. We only recently discovered this fact .”
Captain Murphy Ya looked at Li Nuo, whose expression changed slightly, and continued:
"The Necromancer Cult has set up an outpost along the underground river. If we want to destroy the Necromancer fleet and block shipping, we must destroy the Necromancer outpost. The core area of the outpost has a magic protective shield. Your mission is to Under the cover of the team, modify the undead runes and remove the magic protective cover. As long as you remove one magic protective cover, you will complete this legion mission. After returning to the ground, you cooperate with the Serre army to clean up Tomb No. 717. You can complete two legion missions at once."
"Yes, sir."
Captain Murphy's breathed out fragrant smoke, "Do you have anything to ask? Jarvis."
Li Nuo thought for a while and asked:
"Sir, as far as I know, people with stains in their lives cannot enter the military academy, right?"
"Oh, yes. That's what Slack wanted to say just now."
Captain Murphy's stretched out his white fingers and touched his temples, worry appearing on his beautiful face:
"This is a headache for me, Jarvis. I know very well that in the entire 'Broken Coffin' plan, apart from the soldiers fighting on the front line, you and I are the ones who bear the greatest pressure and responsibility. On our side While learning the necromancy runes, he endured the suspicion and suspicion of his colleagues in the empire, risked his life, and faced the "death storm" that could come at any time. If the 'Broken Coffin' plan succeeds, you deserve to share the glory with us. But how to cleanse your stains so that you can welcome victory with integrity..."
Captain Murphy's eyebrows slightly furrowed, he smoked a cigarette and fell into thought. After a long time, he said:
".I will find a way, Jarvis, I will find a way. Only the Emperor in the Empire can pardon a person's sins. When the plan is successful, I will emphasize your efforts in the report. If it goes well, It is possible for the Emperor to absolve you of your debts and crimes and give you a clean life."
Li Nuo nodded and said:
"Thank you, sir... Why are you so interested in me, a criminal? To be honest, this makes me a little flattered."
Captain Murphy's weight shifted back and he leaned back on the chair. He was silent for a few seconds, his eyes flickering, and the expression on his face changed between complexity and calm.
She sighed softly and said:
"You don't need to know the reason, Jarvis. I just obey the thoughts in my heart and desire to do something that can change the empire within my ability. In fact, I don't know if I can help you wash away the stain, just Just like I don’t know where the empire will go. Well, that’s all, go and get ready. I hope you can return safely.”
"Okay, sir." Li Nuo nodded, raised his hand in salute, turned and left the tent.
The tent returned to silence.
Captain Murphy's opened the personal file in front of him, looked at the word "criminal soldier" on it, and fell into deep thought.
When Captain Murphy Ya felt a headache, Li Nuo stood outside the tent, facing the cloudy sky, and sighed silently in his heart.
Wash stains?
Eh, forget it.
Li Nuo knew very well how difficult it was.
Unless the Emperor personally orders it, it will be impossible to remove the stain written in the archives.
That's more than 3 million new Sauron coins.
How could the Seton Group allow a write-off?
Who can spend so much money at once to help debtors pay off their debts?
No matter what, Li Nuo didn't have any hope of clearing his stain.
Captain Murphya does have good intentions, but that doesn't mean she can accomplish good things.
Instead of placing your hopes on her, it's better to work hard yourself.
Li Nuo calmed down, looked around, and saw Sergeant Mars chatting with someone.
"Jarvis, you're out."
Sergeant Mars has now regained his composure after a brief period of distress.
He ended the conversation and walked towards Li Nuo:
"Follow me and I'll take you to arm yourself. In a little while, the team will set off."
"Okay, sir, lead the way." Li Nuo walked beside him.
Sergeant Mars introduced as he walked:
"I just heard someone say that Lieutenant Slack mentioned the issue of stains in life in front of you. Relax, your contribution is undeniable and no one can take it away. Lieutenant Slack suggested that I modify the death penalty The spiritual runes are really going to kill me. As a person who has only studied modern literature and education, how can I know ancient languages?"
Sergeant Mars' tone became distressed.
To be honest, I'm afraid that people who don't know how to do it will give random instructions.
Modern literature and ancient languages sound like they are connected, not too different.
But in fact, the two majors are very different, ranging from pronunciation, root to word meaning.
After reading Mars' personal resume, Lieutenant Slack took it for granted that Mars could also master ancient languages.
Isn't this just forcing people to make things difficult?
Hey, if you don't have enough professional knowledge and give random instructions, it will really kill people.
Sergeant Mars complained all the way. After entering the tent where armor and firearms were placed, he calmed down his complaints a little and started talking about business.
"I have learned from the members of the elite team. The magic ore transported by the undead fleet is high-quality death magic stone, which contains extremely pure death energy. Well, you probably don't know what death energy is specifically. Right? It doesn’t matter. I’ll give you a brief explanation.”
Sergeant Mars said:
"This is what is taught in military academies:
“Using the correct magical means, the corresponding energy can be extracted from natural phenomena.
"For example, the Necromantic Cult is good at extracting death energy from the dead. Some casters who master the way of shadow can extract shadow energy from shadows that cannot be illuminated by the sun. No matter what kind of energy it is, it requires corresponding magical means. Use it correctly. I don’t know how to operate it specifically, it’s not taught in the academy.”
Sergeant Mars raised his arm and pointed at a black silhouette on the northern horizon:
"The Necromancer fleet set out from the hinterland of the Necromancer Sect in the south and sailed all the way north. Their destination may be the huge mountain in the north called the Blade Mountains. That place was the territory of other legions of the empire, and it was also the place where the fighting was most intense. For many years, our imperial army has been competing with the Necronomicon Cult for the underground tombs and passes on the mountains. "
Li Nuo looked in the direction pointed by Sergeant Mars.
The Blade's Edge Mountains truly deserve the name "The Blade's Edge".
It is like a long snake lying on the ground with blades inserted all over its body.
Not only does it have mountains and mountains stretching for thousands of kilometers, but there are also many towering and dangerous peaks that point to the sky like knives.
"Sir, do you mean that the underground river under our feet flows from south to north to the Blade's Edge Mountains?" Li Nuo asked thoughtfully.
Sergeant Mars responded while changing his clothes:
"Yes, it flows downstream from south to north. Moreover, the water volume of the underground river is relatively stable and the flow rate is relatively fast. If it weren't for the large fleet of the Necronomicon Sect, the extremely high load, and the slow sailing speed, we would not be able to Stop them."
Li Nuo nodded thoughtfully and asked again:
"Then what is the place on the other side of the mountain range?...Oh, I remembered it, it is the Golden Federation, right? It was mentioned in the academy class."
"Well, it is indeed the Golden Federation. When the Emperor established the modern empire, he made an agreement with the Great Sage of the Temple of the Golden Federation that the two sides would use the east-west Blade's Edge Mountains as their national border. To the south of the Blade's Edge Mountains is our territory, and to the north is From the Golden Federation.”
"Then the Golden Federation was also attacked by the Necromancer Sect?" Li Nuo asked.
"This...should not be possible." Sergeant Mars thought for a while and said:
"The courses at the Military Academy say that the Blade's Edge Mountains are an insurmountable chasm. Under the mountain are rapid underground rivers, dangerous quicksand, and scorching magma. The surface is a stormy sand-alkali land, and the wind force is at least level 12. It can be Overturn the steam locomotive. The wind above it will be stronger, and the hot air balloon will be torn apart by the hurricane on the spot.
“There are caves in the mountain that lead directly to the cliffs on the north side, but those caves have been invaded by the Necronomicon Cult for many years, and the exits are all on the cliffs on the north side of the mountain, with a long height difference from the ground.
"So if the empire wants to do business with the Golden Federation, it will go around the east sea and approach the trade channels in the sea area."
Li Nuo shook his head and sighed:
"The place we are coming out of now has the Necromancer Cult to the west and south, the Blade's Edge Mountains to the north, and although it is a flat plain full of ruins to the east, there are imperial troops everywhere. If you want to get in and out of the Junction of Tribulation, you can only take a bus Steam trains are the way to go. No wonder no one has ever escaped from the Crossing."
"That's for sure, Jarvis. If the Empire hadn't firmly sealed off the eastern part of the Crossing of Tribulation, the Necromancer Cult would have bypassed the defense lines on the ground and underground and attacked the Empire's cities."
Sergeant Mars put on the flapper armor and began to teach Li Nuo how to put it on.
Li Nuo put on the armor that was full of defensive properties, and suddenly he asked with a thought in his heart:
"Sir, the life potion I exchanged for my military merit will not be forcibly taken away by the Empire's Legal Department, right?"
"No." Mars shook his head:
"The materials exchanged for military merit will not be taken away. You can exchange them with confidence. We can't let you go to the battlefield with a weak body after you have exhausted your life. This is no different from sending you to die."
"That's good, that's good."
"Let's go, it's almost time. You will see the members of the elite team in a while, just greet them briefly, and leave the rest to me. This is a covert operation, and a lot of tactical language and gestures will be used. When the time comes, you can follow Hold me tight.”
"Yes, sir." Li Nuo followed Sergeant Mars out of the tent.
Halfway through, Li Nuo looked at the Blade's Edge Mountains, his eyes becoming deep and bright.
The cave inside the mountain is connected to the cliff on the north side of the mountain. Others may not be able to reach the Golden Commonwealth from the cliff, but Li Nuo thinks he can do it.
As long as you save enough soul strength and get spare life potions, it is not impossible to forcefully cross the mountains.
He has a trump card in his hand that must not be used easily.
This skill was drawn from the "Death Spell UP Pool" and is the skill he is most satisfied with.
The only drawback is that the soul strength consumption of this skill is too large...
