Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 59: 59. Fingerbone Wand

Haste makes waste.

Anxiety can lead to mistakes.

Li Nuo understood these principles.

He really wanted to get the things in the tent as soon as possible, but he still maintained a calm mind and didn't let the urgency affect him.

He looked towards the camp, his eyes swept across the marching tents.

Sergeant Alvin, the commander of the Imperial Army, was bedridden.

The interim commander Pim escaped from the camp on the pretext of rescuing the chief, but Li Nuo borrowed a knife from the shark and died at the hands of Murphia.

The command authority at the scene is undoubtedly vacant, and no one controls it.

Each combat team can only meet the enemy according to the predetermined combat plan.

The person in charge of supervising the battle was Sergeant Alvin's bodyguard.

They followed the commander in continuous high-intensity battles, overdrawn a lot of lives, and suffered serious battle damage.

Now only 4 guards appear on the defense line, barely maintaining the order of the battle.

As for Sergeant Pim's guards, they were all taken away by Pim himself, and they were not in the camp at this time.

This means that Pym's tent is likely to be left unguarded!

Just bypass the guards overseeing the battle and explore Pym's tent.

Li Nuo pondered for a moment, squatted down, and picked up the ammunition box on the ground.

He trotted away from Wall No. 8, pretending to be in urgent need of ammunition, and ran past the guards standing on the high platform.

"Criminal Soldier No. 888!" The guard held his rifle and stared at the soldiers on the line of defense. When he saw Li Nuo running out of the bunker, he looked over.

"Yes, sir!" Li Nuo stood still and looked up at the guards on the high platform.

The guard glanced at the left and right sides, bent slightly, and said to Li Nuo:

"Secretary Alvin just woke up for a while. He knew that Pim had exceeded his authority to interrogate you, and he fainted again from anger. Don't worry, we will definitely settle this matter with Pim."

"Thank you, sir."

"...You are the one who saved Sergeant Alvin and us sergeants anyway, how can MI2 bully you. Otherwise, where will we sergeants face?"

The guard glanced at the direction of the No. 8 barrier:

"Unfortunately, the Mars team suffered heavy losses. Corporal Micah was seriously injured and unconscious, and Sergeant Mars hadn't returned yet. It's really not easy to support you alone..."

The guard looked down at the empty box in Li Nuo's hand:

"Are you running out of ammunition? Go to the rear and load it."

"Yes, sir."

Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, ran over the high platform at high speed, and rushed into the camp surrounded by tents.

There was no one in the camp, and the soldiers coming and going were in a hurry, and they all came to the rear to carry ammunition.

Just avoid the route from the supply tent to the forward position.

Li Nuo took advantage of the opportunity when there was no one on the road, and dodged to hide in the nearest tent.

With the help of the cover of the curtain and the sound of gunfire from the front line, he shuttled from tent to tent.

Within three to five minutes, he was near Pim's tent.

Sure enough, as he had guessed, Pim's tent was unattended.

This is somewhat unbelievable, but it is true, who asked Pim to take away all his guards.

Pym is a clean freak.

All the places he has been in will be spotless and polished.

This is not a good thing for Li Nuo.

If he's not careful, he'll leave obvious smudges here and there.

Like clean carpets, tidy desktops, sheets without a single wrinkle, and so on. These places are particularly conspicuous after being soiled, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others.

Li Nuo stayed at the door curtain and did not enter rashly.

He called up Pim's memory fragments, played them in his mind, and compared them with the real scene in front of him.

After 10 seconds, Li Nuo looked at the bed in the front right, and locked his eyes on the encrypted metal box under the bed board.

The magic item is in it.

There is an extremely complicated mechanical lock on the metal box.

But that's okay.

Li Nuo already knew the password of the mechanical lock from the memory fragment.

It is a string of static numbers that will not change over time, with as many as 16 digits.

The only problem now is how not to leave a stain.

Li Nuo looked down at himself.

The blood and sewage dried up on the military uniform, turning into stubborn stains. After the trousers were soaked, they were blown dry by the cloudy wind, and after drying, they were soaked again, and now they are almost patted...

Not to mention the shoes, which were covered in mud and dust from front to back.

It seems that I can only sacrifice myself...

Li Nuo took off his dirty coat and trousers, bent down again, and took off his stained shoes.

He hid these things outside the tent.

He also took off the socks, but instead of putting them outside, he put them on his hands as temporary gloves.

Walking on the floor with bare feet, Li Nuo came to the bed, pulled out the metal box, dialed the combination dial of the mechanical lock, and entered the correct mechanical combination.

With a crisp "click", the lock cylinder was unblocked, and the upper cover of the metal box was slowly lifted by Li Nuo.

Facing the contents of the box, Li Nuo took a deep breath.

Li Nuo has already seen it in the fragment of memory.

But seeing the real thing at this moment, Li Nuo couldn't help but be shocked by its extremely strange appearance.

This is a wand made purely of bone, about the length of a forearm, with a tapered front end and a thicker rear end, like a slender spindle.

Li Nuo didn't know why Pim, an ordinary person, held a magic wand, but this did not prevent him from appreciating the magic wand from the perspective of appreciation.

From Pym's memory, the material of this wand is the phalanx of the little finger.

These bones come from different imperial lieutenants, the "Fist of the Empire" who possess extraordinary abilities.

The core of the wand is even more unusual.

It was also Littlefinger, but from one of the Emperor's sons.

After the slender snow-white finger bones are soaked in a special potion, they will become as soft as cooked noodles.

The maker of the wand twisted the finger bones together and wove them into a twist, and inlaid a stunning dark green gemstone at the end of the wand.

Brilliant and flawless, clean and bright.

The outline and material of the gemstone are impeccable.

It exists to allow the wand holder to hold it more comfortably.

If you look carefully, you will find that there are densely packed white runes as small as rice grains distributed on the surface of the bone.

They were 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 method, to the white necromantic runes that seem pure but are actually full of malice, this wand reveals an evil atmosphere everywhere.

Overall, this wand has one and only one flaw, and that is that it's not finished yet.

It has a distinct notch at the tip, and probably needs three more phalanxes to piece together the perfect pointed cone.

Now it looks like a strawberry with its sharp point bitten off.

Li Nuo watched it quietly for a while, and picked it up to play without reaching out.

In fact, the metal case that encloses this wand is also extraordinary.

A large number of magic patterns are carved inside the metal box, which are used to seal the power of the wand and cover up the breath of the wand.

If Li Nuo took out this wand, the undead on the first and second floors of the basement would immediately enter a state of riot.

Pim used this magic wand to speed up the recovery process of the undead. What he did was not casting spells, just taking the wand out of the box for 3 seconds.

Faced with such a big killer, Li Nuo, who has always been cautious, wisely chose to give it up, not intending to take it for himself.

Li Nuo stared at the wand and said 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, and the completion of deconstruction can be increased to 3.3% at most. 】

[Are you sure to proceed with the deconstruction? 】

15,000 energy points?

What level of magic item is this wand?

Li Nuo's heart trembled, and his brows frowned slightly.

To be honest, the demand for such a huge energy value far exceeded his expectations.

Li Nuo pondered for a moment, then focused his gaze on the dark green gemstone:

"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 unknown name". 】

[It is estimated that 5,000 energy points will be consumed to achieve 100% deconstruction completion. 】

Li Nuo stared at the necromantic rune on the surface of the wand, and threw the deconstruction technique again.

Well, unsurprisingly, Deconstructing Necromancer Runes requires more stamina than Gems, around 8000. Since the Necromancer Rune skill level is 1, the system also gave a small discount of 1%.

Fifty thousand minus eight thousand minus five thousand, leaving two thousand.

Then the two thousand should be on the phalanx.

Li Nuo thought for two seconds.

Between deconstructing gems, runes, and phalanges, he finally chose the necromantic rune.

"Save 100 points of energy for emergencies, in case I encounter things or enemies that surprise me."

Li Nuo held his breath, his heart beating loudly:

"System, consume 400 energy points to deconstruct the undead rune on the wand."

As soon as his heart fell, a violent dizziness came from his mind.

A full 400 energy points were sucked away by the system.

The dizziness subsided quickly, and Li Nuo got the result of the deconstruction.

[Successful deconstruction! 】

[Your deconstruction completion of "Runes of the Elder Wand" has been increased from 0% to 5%. 】

[According to the completion of the deconstruction, you have obtained the following deconstruction results:]

[1. "Instructions for Use of the Bone Elder 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 just a 'general outline'.

"No matter what, I won't lose money this time!"

Li Nuo's pupils shrank sharply, his heartbeat accelerated instantly, and he was ecstatic.

"Don't get carried away! I have to get out of here quickly, or things will change later!"

He forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart, closed the metal box with a steady movement, and turned the dial of the mechanical combination lock back to the original number.

After pushing the metal box under the bed and confirming that everything was back to normal without leaving any traces of himself, Li Nuo came to the door curtain, quickly put on his clothes and shoes, and left.

Carefully walking all the way to the supply tent, Li Nuo returned to the main road with the ammunition box in his hands, and rushed towards the front line barrier.

On the way, he passed his team's tent.

He stopped briefly, took out his backpack from the tent and carried it on his body, and then rushed to the front line with the heavy ammunition box.

The guards stood on the high platform, maintaining the order of the battle.

Seeing Li Nuo came 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 it took 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, then waved to Li Nuo and said:

"...You reminded me. The last time everyone ate was 3 hours ago. How about it, Sinner 888, anyway, your team is not enough to form a decent firepower unit. Then you don't go to the No. 8 barrier gone."

The guards gestured in the smoke-filled position:

"Help me run around, bring more food and water to the front line, and distribute them to the fighting teams in other barriers."

"Okay, sir! I'm going!"

Li Nuo staggered his feet, turned around, and walked quickly to another barrier.

After handing over the food and medicine in the backpack, he trotted back to the camp to carry new supplies.

The guard on the high platform stood tall and looked far away, seeing Li Nuo's figure in his eyes, he couldn't help sighing:

"Sin Bing No. 888 is really a good guy who obeys discipline and is eager to help others! But unfortunately, luck is not very good. The first time I went on a mission with the legion, I met a middle-level necromancer priest and a high-level spirit pivot."
