Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 50: 42. That’s all.

Translator: 549690339

Time reverted to three minutes ago, when Noland Lee had just been escorted into the sea of Skeleton soldiers by Sergeant Piggs.

Noland Lee had been seized by the arm by Piggs.

This bugger was filled with a mix of fat and flab all over his body, and the strength in his palm was quite astonishing, equally matched with Scarred Sin Soldier whom Noland Lee had killed twice before.

Noland Lee couldn’t break free from Piggs’ grasp and could only watch helplessly as the Skeleton Soldiers surrounded the two of them.

The Skeleton Soldiers wielding Bone Swords simply surrounded them but made no move to attack.

Noland Lee knew that the effect of his Grudge Mark had taken hold.

He was empty-handed and hadn’t thrown a punch, so naturally, he hadn’t displayed any attacks.

With the Grudge Mark in effect, the Skeleton Soldiers treated him as one of their own.

It was only because the Biochemical Bait on him attracted the Skeleton Soldiers’ attention that they surrounded him.

But why wasn’t Sergeant Piggs also attacked by the Skeleton Soldiers?

Noland Lee suddenly looked towards Piggs alongside him, his gaze drawn to the amulet in his hand.

This amulet was made of Stone Material, with intricate Undead Runes on its grey surface.

The Undead Runes emitted a chilly grey glow, blending perfectly with the illumination environment of the third underground level, hardly noticeable.

It was this barely noticeable glow that pacified the surrounding Skeleton Soldiers, protecting Sergeant Piggs.

At that moment, a burst of inspiration flashed through Noland Lee’s mind.

Innumerable flashes symbolizing insight raced through him, making him shiver slightly, with goosebumps rising on his skin.

Division Intelligence Unit Two opposes Intelligence Department 4’s research into Undead Runes, taking a firm stance against it.

Yet a Division Intelligence Unit Two investigator had a protective amulet inscribed with Undead Runes.

Judging from Piggs’ relaxed demeanor and proficient movements, it wasn’t his first time using this amulet.

He was very familiar with the Undead Army and the Undead Runes, comfortably using death-related items that the Empire deemed forbidden.

So, there was only one truth.

“Piggs, you’re actually a spy from the Death Notice Guild!” Noland Lee stared at the smug Piggs.

“Hehe, yes, you’re pretty sharp, figuring out my identity so quickly. It saves me the trouble of having to explain everything to you.”

Piggs who had his right hand clasping Noland Lee’s arm, stepped forward to face him, his face full of cunning smiles:

“Sin Soldier No.888, let’s get properly acquainted. I am a mid-level spy for the Death Notice Guild, codename ‘Fatty’, your future contact.”

“Future contact? What do you mean?” Noland Lee pursed his lips, a wary look in his eyes.

“Have you seen the amulet in my hand?”

Waving the amulet, Piggs strolled over in front of a Skeleton Soldier’s face and said leisurely:
