Chapter 73: 59. Finger Bone Magic Wand_2
Translator: 549690339
These bones come from different Imperial Warrant Officers, the ones with extraordinary abilities, known as “Imperial Fists”.
The wand core is even more extraordinary.
Although it is a little finger, it came from a son of the Emperor.
After being soaked in a special potion, the slender white finger bone becomes as soft as a boiled noodle.
The wand maker wrapped the finger bones together, twisting them into a rope-like shape, and embedded a captivating dark green gem at the end of the wand.
Impeccable, smooth, and lustrous.
The outline and material of the gemstone are beyond reproach.
Its presence allows the wand holder to hold it more comfortably.
Upon closer inspection, one would find that the bone surface is covered in numerous rice-grain-sized white runes.
They are as white as ivory, yet as lifeless as a corpse.
These are the magical runes written in Undead Runes, the secret of this wand.
From the material selection to the manufacturing technique and the seemingly pure but actually malicious white Undead Runes, this wand exudes an evil aura throughout.
Overall, this wand has only one flaw: it is not yet finished.
There is a noticeable gap at its tip, and it probably needs three more finger bones to form a perfect cone.
As it is now, it looks like a strawberry with its tip bitten off.
Noland Lee quietly observed it for a little while, not immediately reaching out to take it and play with it directly.
In fact, the metal box enclosing this wand is also extraordinary.
Inside the metal box, numerous magical runes are engraved, sealing the power of the wand and concealing its aura.
If Noland Lee were to take this wand out, the Undead on the first and second underground levels would immediately erupt into a full-scale riot.
Pim used this wand to accelerate the process of Undead Revival. What he did was not casting spells but merely taking the wand out of the box for three seconds.
Faced with such a powerful weapon, the always cautious Noland Lee wisely chose to give up and not claim it for himself. Noland Lee gazed at the wand and whispered:
“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 a 100% degree of deconstruction.]
[You currently have 500 energy points, and you can raise the level of deconstruction to a maximum of 3-3%.]
[Do you want to confirm your deconstruction order?]
15,000 energy points?
What level of magical item is this wand?
Noland Lee’s heart trembled, his brows slightly furrowed.
Honestly, such a huge energy requirement far exceeded his expectations.
After pondering for a moment, Noland Lee concentrated on the dark green gem:
“Deconstruct this gem, System, do not deconstruct anything else; I only want to deconstruct the gem.”
[System Message: You are about to use Deconstruction on the “Unknown Name Magic Gem.”]
[It is estimated that 5,000 energy points will be consumed to achieve a 100% degree of deconstruction.]
Noland Lee stared at the Undead Runes on the surface of the wand and threw out another deconstruction technique.
Yes, as expected, the energy required to deconstruct the Undead Runes was higher than that required to deconstruct the gem, about 8,000 points. Due to the level of Undead Rune Studies being 1, the system also gave a 1% discount.
Minus eight thousand and minus five thousand, there are still two thousand left.
That means the two thousand must be on the finger bones.
Noland Lee pondered for two seconds.
Between deconstructing the gem, runes, and finger bones, he finally chose the Undead Runes.
“I should reserve 100 energy points for emergencies, in case I encounter unexpected situations or enemies.”
Nolan held his breath, his heart pounding:
“System, consume 400 energy points and deconstruct the Undead Runes on the wand.”
As soon as his words fell silent in his mind, a strong sense of dizziness came over him.
A total of 400 energy points were absorbed by the system.
The dizziness soon passed, and Noland got the deconstruction results.
[Deconstruction successful!]
[Your deconstruction completion rate for “Bone-mending Wand Runes” has increased from 0% to 5%.]
[1. “Usage Instructions of Bone-Connecting Wand,” completeness 5%.] [2. “Spell Blueprint: Fear Spell,” completeness 50%.]
[3. Original manuscript of “Martyr’s Ten Commandments – Summary,” completeness 100%.]
“A new death-related spell. ‘Fear Spell,’ just by the name, it seems to be a control-type spell. Finally, I can face my enemies head-on!
“Also, this ‘Martyr’s Ten Commandments – Summary’ is complete, not a fragment. The only regret is that it’s not the ‘full text,’ but just the ‘summary’…
“Anyway, this time, I can’t lose!”
Noland’s pupils shrank, and he was ecstatic, his heart racing.
“I must not get carried away! I need to leave quickly before something changes! ”
Forcing down his joy, he calmly closed the metal box and returned the mechanical password lock dial to its original numbers.
He pushed the metal box under the bed, made sure everything was back to normal and that he left no traces, and quickly dressed and left the room.
He carefully made his way to the supplies tent, then carried the ammunition box back to the front line like a proper soldier.
Halfway there, he passed his team’s tent.
He paused briefly to fetch his backpack, then continued to the front line carrying the heavy ammunition box.
Guards stood on the high platform, maintaining the order of the battle. Seeing Noland had returned, he glanced at the backpack and said,
..Ah, you went back to the tent for food and medicine, no wonder it took you so long.”
“Yes, Chief Officer. I feel this battle will last a long time, so I’ve taken the initiative to place some supplies in the bunker…”
The guard thought for a moment and waved to Noland,
“…You reminded me. It’s been three hours since our last meal. Alright, Sin Soldier 888, your team is short of people and can’t form a proper firepower unit. So don’t go to Barrier 8.”
The guard gestured on the smoky battlefield:
“You help me run some errands, transport more food and water to the front line, and distribute them to other fighting teams.”
“Yes, Chief Officer! I’m on it!”
Noland shuffled his legs and turned around, briskly walking towards another barrier.
After handing over the food and medicine from his backpack, he jogged back to the camp to carry new supplies.
Overseeing the battlefield from the high platform, the guard saw Noland and couldn’t help but sigh,
“Sin Soldier 888 is indeed a very disciplined and helpful lad! It’s a pity, though, that he’s not very lucky. On his first mission with the Legion, he encountered an Intermediate Necromancer and high-level Spirit Pivot….”
