99. The Wizard of the Second Ring
After a busy meal, the broken down locomotive successfully connected to the car in the second place.
Li Nuo officially embarked on the road to the pass.
He lowered his handbrake and hooked up to neutral, letting the locomotive under him be dragged forward by the locomotive in the second place, while he squinted at the approaching Imperial Pass.
It was a military fortress built on a mountain.
The altitude of the military fort is about 300 meters.
Its main structure is inside the mountain, and it is dominated by tunnels and bunkers that do not see sunlight all day long.
Another part of the fort protrudes from the mountain and hangs like a relief on the smooth cliffs.
To access the fort from the ground, you need to take an elevator.
With MI2 as a guarantor, the pass guards barely checked Li Nuo and let the entire convoy go.
Li Nuo and the steam locomotive under him followed the elevator platform to rise smoothly.
Looking at the ground far away under his feet, Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.
The elevator platform rises to the top and is parked on the ground on the first floor of the military fort.
Li Nuo's steam locomotive was dragged off the elevator platform in two places and parked in a roadside parking shed.
"Thank you again, sir."
Li Nuo raised his hand and saluted, watching the enthusiastic MI2 investigators leave.
He lifted Kerr out of the passenger seat, slung it on his shoulder, and dragged him towards the convoy of criminals.
The guards of the convoy were cooperating with the soldiers at the pass to count the guilty soldiers in the convoy.
When the captain of the convoy saw Li Nuo, he beckoned and shouted:
"Isa! Kerr! You're coming. β
"Captain, you're too boring, aren't you? Leaving me and Kerr on the road. If we hadn't met a kind MI2 investigator, we might still be eating dust on the road."
Li Nuo imitated Isa's tone, and he thought in pieces.
As he spoke, he carefully observed the captain in front of him.
Seeing that the other party didn't realize that he was a fake at all, the tension in Li Nuo's heart weakened a lot.
"Haven't I been in a hurry to get the shipping done, Isa. Well, stop complaining. Is Kerr awake? Well, that would have to send him to the medical department. β
The captain said a few words to the soldiers in front of him.
Two members of the team were called in and asked to carry the unconscious Kerr into the medical department.
Li Nuo was without the burden of Kerr, and it was much easier all of a sudden.
"Isa, don't be idle. Help the soldiers at the pass to send the sinners to their cells. β
The captain stuffed a remote control into Li Nuo's hand and urged:
"Move fast and don't make mistakes. These sinners are in a hurry for the garrison at the pass, so don't let them slip on the way. β
Li Nuo looked at the remote control in his hand and blinked.
It's really time to go.
I actually used the remote control to control the shock collar one day.
Li Nuo recalled Issa's habit of escorting the sinners, drew the metal rod from his waist, and knocked it on the iron cage with a clatter, while shouting:
"Listen up, crumbs. Your grave has arrived. Now, I'm going to send you to a pit, and if anyone dares to make trouble, I'll electrify you until you vomit bitterness. β
A few of the sinners glared at him viciously.
Li Nuo didn't talk nonsense, and pressed the remote control directly at them.
Zizizizi.
The current surges.
The sinners fell to the ground and convulsed, begging for mercy.
The other sinners were much more honest.
Li Nuo opened the cage, dragged the sinners with handcuffs and shackles out of the car, and escorted them to their cells with the soldiers at the pass.
Halfway through, a messenger hurried over and said to the soldiers in the ranks:
"Guys, follow the latest directives, we have to cooperate with MI2 in the work of apprehending the spies of the Death Society."
Li Nuo's heart moved slightly, and he listened.
Could it be that the MI2 convoy I met just now came to capture the spy of the Death Society, right?
The messenger continued:
"There is an order from above, bunkers No. 1 to No. 15 are to enter a state of wartime alert, and non-bunker guards are not allowed to enter. Bunker 16 is open as usual. If you're going to the front line, take bunker 16, and the rest of the bunkers won't be passable. β
"Okay, we got it, thanks buddy."
The messenger galloped away and ran to the convoy escorting the criminals, bringing the news to the soldiers at the pass guarding the criminals.
From the instructions of his superiors, Li Nuo smelled the smell of a trap.
The extravagant princes and nobles of the ancient Tatis dynasty built many well-defended mausoleums in the Blade Mountains, eager to sleep here forever without outside interference.
The Blade Mountains are covered in winds all day long, and neither the undead of the Necronomicon nor the Imperial army can fight on the surface.
The two sides invariably put the location of the battle in the huge mausoleum complex inside the mountain.
In order to defend the position and occupy the mausoleum, the Necronics put in the corpse, while the Imperial side built bunkers in the mausoleum.
Li Nuo's original plan was:
The battle team that blended into the bunker waited for an opportunity to leave the battlefield and reach the surface through the tunnels of the underground mausoleum, and from there braved the strong wind to the north side of the mountain range.
If he hadn't had that instruction just now, he would have chosen bunkers 1 to 16.
Now, only bunker 16 is his option.
Isn't this "encircling the teacher must be que"?
Perhaps, bunker 16 had already set up a trap and was just waiting for the spies of the Death Club to jump in.
"It's really unfortunate that I just ran into MI2 catching a spy and blocking my way."
Li Nuo maintained his apparent calmness, and his inner thoughts were surging:
"Isn't it because my whereabouts have been revealed? How could it be so coincidental? β
Li Nuo pondered the possibility of revealing his whereabouts as he followed the team into the tunnel leading to the cell.
Coal lamps hanging from the walls cast a dim glow that illuminated the square stone brick walls, the floor of the tunnel was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the walls were also clearly scratched by bullets.
It seems that there have been battles in this imperial pass.
The soldiers who were escorting them talked to each other.
"I'm going to cooperate with the people in the second department to catch the spy again. Eh, come twice a day. β
"I can't figure out why the bunker is sealed up. In the past, when we caught spies, didn't we name them and check their identities? β
"I guess the eastern border line is under martial law. If the spies of the Death Society want to leave the borderlands, they can only cross the Blade Mountains and take a boat back to the Empire from the illegal ferry ports of the Golden Federation. This kind of thing has happened a lot. Didn't all the high-ranking members of the Death Society do this? β
"The people who sue the dead will really have two hits, and such a high mountain range will be turned over"
"Hey, don't let anyone else hear this, or you're going to suffer. But don't think too much about the people who will die. The price they paid for forcibly climbing the mountain was great. I've heard that they have to use magic to turn themselves into skeletons before jumping off a cliff. When they got to the ground, they retrieved their heads, arms, and thighs and put them together. If a few bones are missing, then when you turn back into a human being, you will suffer a sin, not to mention the pain of half death, and you may even die. β
"Tut-tut, what do you mean to go to the trouble of suing the people of the Death Society?"
"What else can I figure out? Bringing back important magical items, of course. I've heard that the thing that brought the Korabo Legion fortress to fall was a magic wand. A real wand. Don't you think you want to take it back? β
One soldier complimented:
"Wow, man, I didn't expect that, you know a lot of things."
Li Nuo also felt that the soldier who talked eloquently knew a little too much, and subconsciously looked over, and was immediately stunned.
Just because the soldier was looking at him with deep eyes, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Hehe, of course I know a lot better, far more than all of you. You say yes, private, I, Sa. β
Li Nuo's heart trembled violently.
He was about to create chaos and flee the scene, but was suddenly struck by a transparent lightning bolt.
An invisible heavy pressure came from all sides, holding him in place.
γWarning! γ
[You are affected by an "unknown magic effect" and have entered a state where you cannot move!] γ
[System Reminder:]
[[Magic Shield] can effectively prevent this magic effect from taking effect!] γ
Li Nuo sketched out the spell blueprint for the "Magic Shield" in his mind.
"Click."
Three crunching sounds came from him.
The "Magic Shield" blocks immovable magical effects.
The heavy pressure that was pressing on him attenuated a lot.
Li Nuo twisted his body hard, broke free from the shackles of pressure, and turned to run towards the tunnel where he came.
The soldier who cast the spell looked surprised:
"Huh? Interesting. You were able to unleash your "magic shield" and break free from my "immobilization". You're not Issa! Who are you? β
The soldiers and sinners next to them were dumbfounded by the scene in front of them, and had no idea what had just happened.
A few soldiers were just about to talk to the soldier who was casting the spell, but they saw the other party raise his hand towards him and the others, and his fingertips counted the dots, releasing a series of transparent lightning bolts.
The soldier and the sinner soldier were struck in the center of the eyebrows by the transparent lightning, and their eyes were suddenly distracted, their expressions were glazed, and their postures were stiff and they stood in place.
The soldier who cast the spell shook his wrist, threw his fingertips forward, pointed directly at Li Nuo's back, and calmly spit out a word:
"Definitely."
Far greater pressure fell on Li Nuo than just now.
He cast several "magic shields" in a row, but they couldn't counteract the pressure on his body, so he was forced to stay in place.
The soldier who cast the spell slowly walked past the soldiers and sinners in a daze, and came to stand still in front of Li Nuo.
"You're in good disguise, strange wizard. But I know your team better. I know the habits and details of each and every one of you, and your disguised 'Isa' is no exception. You may not realize it, but I've found a lot of holes in you from the moment you appeared in front of my eyes."
He raised his right hand and pinched Li Nuo's face a few times:
"Oh~ You didn't use makeup to change your appearance. I feel very slight fluctuations in energy on your skin. You have a good command of camouflage spells, and you can compress energy fluctuations on the surface of your skin without letting them escape. No wonder I didn't notice the energy fluctuations in your body until now... Let me remove your disguise. β
The man's fingertips rubbed a few times on Li Nuo's forehead, casting a hazy mist.
A chill appeared on Li Nuo's skin.
His brow furrowed, his body unable to move, but he still noticed the change in his body.
He knew that he had changed back to his original appearance from Issa, and that he had been forced to return to his normal size.
A warning message is sent at the same time.
γAttention! γ
[Due to the influence of "Unknown Magical Effects", "Disguised Living Corpse" was forced to terminate.] γ
[System Reminder:]
[After upgrading the "Disguised Living Corpse", it is possible to negate this magic effect.] γ
"A handsome face, a young Imperial, ice-blue pupils... Let me think, you can't be that unlucky Leno Jarvis, right? β
The soldier who cast the spell stood in front of Li Nuo, staring at his face carefully, with a deep interest in his eyes:
"It seems that the bad luck we have inflicted on you has brought you no small and extraordinary gain. Not only did you not die in the fortress of the Korabo Legion, but you also mastered the power of magic and became a wild wizard. You just used the spell "Magic Shield", right? Do you know anything else? β
The soldier smiled and snapped his fingers:
"Oh, sorry, I forgot, you can't speak right now."
The pressure near his mouth was relieved, and Li Nuo's lips could close freely, but he chose to remain silent and only looked at each other with indifferent eyes.
"Your composure disgusts me, Jarvis." The soldier raised his hand and pinched Li Nuo's chin, pressing the other man's bones hard, trying to see the pain on Li Nuo's face.
But it's a pity that Li Nuo was not as timid and cowardly as he thought, he was still calm and calm, and even dared to speak provocatively.
"Are you a stinking maggot from the Death Society? No wonder there is a sour smell of feces and urine in the mouth. β
"You're looking for death!"
The soldier glared, and suddenly increased the force in his hand, and clamped Li Nuo's chin fiercely, clattering his bones.
"I'm telling you, Leno Jarvis, you may have some talent in the wizarding world, and we need someone like you in the Death Society. But unfortunately, I didn't bring you back to the Death Club on my itinerary. So you can help me get the attention of MI2. β
The soldier let go of his right hand, snorted coldly, and threw out a few handfuls of transparent lightning.
The man who was struck by the transparent lightning moved mechanically and followed the soldier into the depths of the tunnel.
Li Nuo's mouth was resealed by invisible pressure, and he joined the queue that walked like zombies.
"Hehe, people who sue for death are really easy to get angry. Pyg, Pym, and this guy in front of me, I can annoy them with a little probing. It seems that my ability to fight mouth cannons is still good. β
Although Li Nuo's body was controlled, he was not flustered at all, and he still had some secret joy in his heart.
When the other party pinched his chin just now, it caused a little substantial damage to his body.
This damage triggers passive deconstruction.
[System News:]
[Passive deconstruction activation! ] γ
[Your completion of the deconstruction of "Death Club Member Greensau" has increased from 0% to 0.02%. γ
γYou have obtained the following deconstruction results:γ
[1. The other party's name is Grinsau, 48 years old, male, 1.90 meters tall, weighing 55 kilograms, and no eight-pack abs. γ
[2. Greenawu is from the Death Society and is a death wizard with the strength of the second ring. γ
[3. Complete deconstruction of Greensau requires about 20,000 energy points.] γ
Li Nuo read the results of the deconstruction and nodded secretly.
is also a second-order extraordinary, the difficulty of deconstruction of the "Imperial Fist" and the second-ring wizard is different.
This should not be caused by the difference in strength between the two sides, but is likely to be the reason for the huge difference in the amount of knowledge and skills possessed by the two.
After all, as long as you know how to fight as a "fist of empire", you don't need to learn a lot of theoretical knowledge and memorize all kinds of spell blueprints like wizards.
Then again, though.
Why are the wizards of the Death Society here?
Leno thought back to what Grinsau had said earlier, and had some speculations.
Could it be that the bone-gling wand is in the pass?
Is there indeed a group of Death Society spies who want to transport it out from here in the Blade Mountains?
If that's the case, then this Grinsau with the strength of a second-ring wizard is very likely to be the leader of this group of spies who have died in the dead.
