The scout team has found the Binding Spirit and the Stone Mound on the second floor of the tomb!

As soon as the news reached the camp, it immediately caused a riot.

The young private asked the corporal for information, and the corporal, who had never met the spirit, went to ask the sergeant about the situation, and the sergeant shared what he knew with his teammates while looking solemnly at the tent of the commander, Sergeant Alvin.

For a while, Li Nuo had a feeling of storm, as if there was a dark cloud floating on the head of every soldier, carrying huge pressure.

It's right to think about it.

What is the Spirit Binding Stone Mound?

An evil structure capable of taking the souls of both the living and the dead.

What are the soldiers most afraid of?

You can't serve the empire in front of you, and you can't sleep with glory after you die.

The various characteristics of the Spirit Binding Stone Mound are the key points of the Imperial Army. It rightly sparks turmoil.

The soldiers had different opinions.

If Sergeant Alvin had been wiser, he would have given the order to delay the attack by now, right?

Even a retreat is not impossible.

....

"Jarvis, come with me, someone wants to see you."

Sergeant Mars returned from the commander's tent and woke up Lenovo, who was dozing off against the wall.

Li Nuo opened his eyes, and there was clarity in his eyes—not because his mind became clearer after squinting for a while, but because he had expected to be called in for a conversation.

He is such a person, taking one step and seeing three steps, seeing the subtle knowledge.

Some people will say that people like him will live a very tired life, because they will think about many things and predict many things.

But as far as Li Nuo himself is concerned, he does not feel tired, but enjoys the process and enjoys it.

"Sir, please lead the way."

Leno stood up, wiped his face twice, straightened his clothes, and followed Sergeant Mars out of the team's rest area.

Passing through the large tents of the makeshift camp, the two soon arrived at the door of the commander's tent.

Sergeant Mars didn't step into it with Lenovo, but took a detour to a more remote corner.

Sergeant Mars stopped in front of a tent full of debris, pointed inside, and stood guard beside the warehouse-like tent.

"Go in, Jarvis, there's someone waiting for you inside. I'll be out there and no one will disturb you... Remember, don't give away the people and things you see, it's MI4's top secret. ”

"Yes, sir."

Li Nuo took a slight breath, calmed down, lifted the thick door curtain, and stepped into the tent.

A faint fragrance lingers on the tip of the nose, which seems to be a precious perfume, and it seems to be some kind of medicine with its own fragrance.

There was a gentle glow of coal lamps inside the tent. The screen behind the curtain obscures most of the light and the peeps of visitors.

Li Nuo bypassed the screen and saw the main owner, his eyes slightly condensed.

A woman is leaning against a table and smoking.

She wore a black women's military uniform, dressed plainly but could not hide her charm.

She held her arms in front of her, without a trace of fat, and held a thin cigarette in her right hand, sipping and inhaling slowly, exhaling a refreshing smoke for a long time.

After hearing Li Nuo's movement, her eyes changed from distraction to focus, and she turned her face to look at the visitor.

Li Nuo also saw the other party's delicate face from the front.

The facial features are three-dimensional, the eyes are bright, the lips are thin, which can be called cold and glamorous, and with the slender legs and waist-length long hair, there is quite a temperament that no one can enter.

"Report to you, sir."

Li Nuo raised his right hand and saluted decently.

The opponent's rank is much higher than Sergeant Alvin, and he is a captain with the strength of the third-order "Imperial Fist".

"Leno Jarvis, do you know who I am?"

The female captain's tone was cold, maintaining her original smoking action, and she did not become restrained at all because of Li Nuo's arrival, and her aura was full.

"Report, sir. I don't know who you are, only a few guesses. ”

"What speculation?" The female captain raised her chin slightly, "Just say it." ”

"The letter that Sergeant Mars handed me should have been written by you."

"Yes, it's me. I also saw that the level of knowledge of the teaching assistants of the college was indeed much stronger than that of me, a soldier with a non-academic background. ”

"You've overdone it, sir. This is thanks to the cultivation of me by the Empire. Li Nuo said without changing his face.

"Not all flowers bathed in sunlight can bear fruit. Your achievements are also related to your own talent and hard work... Sit down, Jarvis, and let's get down to business. ”

The female captain waited for the other party to sit down and continued:

"I'm Martha Murfia, a captain in MI4, and I'm in charge of the secret plan you're going through."

Captain Murphy paused:

"Within MI4, we call this project 'Broken Coffin', which means that the conspiracy of the Necronomicon is smashed in a simple and efficient way... Have you seen the stone mound on the second floor of the tomb? ”

Li Nuo nodded:

"Yes, sir. It was a stone building, old, eerie, and sinister. ”

"Have you noticed many black marks on the surface of the stone mound? They are regularly distributed on the stone bricks, as if they were carved by man. ”

"I see it, sir."

Captain Murphy inserted the thin cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, turned to his seat and sat down, changing into a standard sitting position:

"What do you think those black marks will be?"

Li Nuo knew the answer in advance, but he still pretended to be thinking and said hesitantly:

“... Could it be a necromantic rune? ”

"People who have read books are indeed different, and their thinking ability is many notches higher than ordinary people." Captain Murfia says:

"Now that you've got the point, I'm not going to talk to you around the corner, Jarvis. We need you to modify the necromantic runes on the stone mound and weaken this evil death-like magic device..."

Captain Murphy saw the stunned look on Lenovo's face:

“... In case you didn't know, there is a magical shield on the outside of the corpse. There are also a large number of necromantic runes on this protective cover. Our original plan was for you to modify the necromantic runes on the magic shield after the army had cleared the three layers of the tomb from the undead, so that the magic shield could be lifted, allowing the Imperial army to attack the corpse directly.

"However, the plan has not kept up with the changes. No one expected that on the second floor of the tomb, there would be a magical building carved with necromantic runes, and it was a more sinister one. ”

Captain Murphy bent his arms on the table, his fingers crossed in front of him:

"So you'll have to accept your mission ahead of time, Jarvis. Just today, on the second basement floor of this tomb. ”

Li Nuo's face flashed with confusion and hesitation, as if he had learned his fate for the first time.

He didn't let these expressions linger on his face for long, but in just three or five seconds, he replaced them with calmness and perseverance, and fashioned himself into an imperial man with courage and conviction.

"Yes, sir. I'll give it my all. ”

Captain Murfia saw the change in Lino's expression, and his heart became more and more fond of this handsome and resolute young man.

The corners of her mouth appeared in a faint curvature, and she said with a light smile:

"You don't have to worry too much about your safety, Jarvis. There were also two more sinners in Alvin's army. I'll hand them over to you to command. It's up to you to tell the necromantic runes on the stone mounds, and it's up to you to direct them to make changes to the necromantic runes. Until they die for the Empire, you don't have to worry about the consequences of changing the wrong runes. ”

Sure enough, if you are a dead friend and a poor monk, can't the empire send a few more criminal soldiers... Li Nuo sighed secretly, thought about it for a while, and decided to maintain his personality.

"Sir, Sergeant Mars told me that if I correct the wrong runes, I will be torn apart by death magic. Can you tell me exactly what will happen? Is there a way to avoid this risk? I want to have a mental preparation. After all, every mistake costs a human life... I don't want people to die because of my mistakes..."

"I know what you're worried about." Captain Murphy stretched out his white right hand, pulled out another thin cigarette from the cigarette case, and clamped it between the tips of his right fingers:

"The young historical assistant has never fought a war, has never seen blood, and in his attitude towards life, he is as simple and kind as an ordinary citizen.

"But, Jarvis, you're commanding two sin soldiers, not real soldiers. Each of them had the blood of good citizens on their hands. You are not murdering them, but pronouncing a sentence on their behalf of the Empire. Think about it that way, and you'll probably feel better.."

Li Nuo nodded silently, just right to show what a young teaching assistant should look like, and did not show his scruples as a traverser.

He is such a cautious person.

"As for the death magic that appeared after correcting the wrong runes... I can tell you that it's not incomprehensible. ”

Captain Murphy lit a thin cigarette, took a slow breath, and said with a fragrant smoke:

"That death magic is called Deathstorm. We think of it as a pulsed beam of energy made up of high-energy particle rays. Judging from the monitoring data, it is a bit like an ultra-miniature gamma-ray storm..."

Li Nuo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, he didn't expect that the Imperial side had done in-depth research on death spells, and analyzed them in the form of scientific theories, not from the perspective of occultism.

No wonder there is a saying that all magic can be mathematical, physical and chemical—that is, the use of mathematics, physics, and chemistry to analyze the principles of magic.

Captain Murfiah continued, in a pragmatic military tone:

"The physical fitness of the first-order 'Imperial Fist' is already enough to resist this level of pulse-type energy beam. But he also suffers serious physical damage as a result, and it is irreparable damage. Because the energy beam will interfere with the cell activity of his whole body at the molecular level, causing his cell division process to be disordered. It's like this..."

Captain Murphy rested his lit cigarette on the edge of the ashtray and reached for his chin.

Under Li Nuo's surprised gaze, Captain Murphy pinched the "skin" on his neck, and slowly lifted his "disguise" from the bottom to the top, revealing a face like a heavy burn.

The crimson flesh is covered with black earthworm-like bumps, hideous and ugly.

"Shhh

The severely burned face is the real face of Martha Murfiah.

The cold face like an iceberg beauty before was just a bionic face created by artificiality.

It's hard to imagine how much this 19-year-old girl in front of her has paid for the empire in her mind...

How many people would willingly let themselves fall full of pain for the sake of the fleeting honor of the empire?

"In order to verify that the necromantic runes I translated were correct, I personally revised the necromantic runes on death-type magical buildings many times. There are successes and failures. The price of defeat was painful, but fortunately, the empire did not give up on me, and I did not fail the empire... I didn't scare you, did I, Jarvis? ”

"No, no. You are truly admirable, sir. Without your efforts, there would be no translations that I have seen. ”

Li Nuo was in awe, not for anything else, but for the other party's dedication and courage.

Captain Murphy covered his face with "camouflage" and rubbed his hands gently on his cheeks so that the two faces fit together perfectly.

"So, you get the idea, Jarvis. Your predicament is only temporary. As long as you can prove that the 'Broken Coffin' project works, you will be able to obtain the Empire's funding for you. Get rid of the status of a criminal soldier and become a real soldier and advance to the "Fist of the Empire". Considering that you are not the "Fist of the Empire", but you are allowed to carry out such a dangerous operation, we have arranged for you to put your hands on the test with two sinners. ”

Captain Murphy picked up the burning fine smoke:

"The military intelligence has instructed me to convey something to you. At the end of this Legion Mission, you'll have all the benefits of a Legionnaire, clean hot water, plenty of vegetables and meat, warm marching tents, semi-monthly 'Dash Time', and more. This is the promise that MI4 has made to you. Of course, you're still a criminal soldier, and you should know why. ”

"Yes, I know why... This is the rule set by our great emperor. ”

- According to historical records, the reigning Tardius I was born as a criminal soldier. In his time, there was no such thing as a criminal soldier turning into a righteous soldier. After he established the modern Tardis Empire, the criminal soldiers had a chance to turn positive.

This historical knowledge was found by Li Nuo from the memory of the original owner.

"Alright, I've said everything I need to say." Captain Murphy put down the fine cigarette, raised his right hand and saluted Li Nuo and said:

"Salute to the warriors of every empire."

Li Nuo stood up, blazing, raised his hand and saluted:

"Salute to the intrepid pioneers. Sir, you are my role model. ”

With a firm tone, a resolute look, and an excellent appearance, Captain Murphy was very satisfied with the sin soldier in front of him.

She smiled and nodded:

"Go, Jarvis, I await your good news. Sergeant Mars will teach you how to use the Rune Modification Tool. ”

"Yes, sir."

Leno left the tent.

Outside the tent, Sergeant Mars saw Leno come out and immediately cast an inquiring look.

Li Nuo walked up to the other party and whispered:

"Sir, I know what I'm going to do. I'll do my best. ”

Sergeant Mars patted Leno on the shoulder:

"Well, I knew you wouldn't flinch, you were a dignified imperial man! ... Let's go, I'll take you to meet those two sinners, and then I'll give you the tools to modify the necromantic runes. ”

Leno was half a step behind and followed Sergeant Mars forward.

About 40 minutes ago, Li Nuo thought he was still a social phobia who was not good at scheming.

But when he faced Captain Murphy just now, his performance and acting skills were more natural and natural.

This made Li Nuo himself feel a little surprised.

Could it be that he was inspired by the series of events after this crossing, and some kind of latent personality?

Well, maybe I'm just unleashing my true self...

Li Nuo turned his head and squinted at the tent, and quickly sketched out the floor plan of the entire camp in his mind, and marked the location of the tent on this map.

I have to say, that tent is really very inconspicuous.

If it weren't for someone in the know, no one would have thought that in that tent, there was a female captain squatting alone smoking a cigarette to relieve her boredom...

A female captain with the strength of the third-order "Imperial Fist"...

Li Nuo recalled carefully.

It can indeed be called "slightly plump", but underneath this delicate appearance, there is a devastated body.

It's a pity...
