The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 77: Alfonso the Saint of Thieves
Even among wise men, there are definitely only a handful of people who understand the Holy Skeleton.
The secret of the holy bones is not weighty knowledge.
Because the saints had no intention of "encrypting" this knowledge from the very beginning. They gain powerful oath power by announcing the curse.
The problem is that the secret of the holy bones is not [practical] enough.
Even if this knowledge is known, it cannot be used to perform rituals, let alone have an impact. Although after knowing this knowledge, the binding force of the corresponding saint will be stronger, and the power of the oath will also be stronger...but that is a benefit that has nothing to do with the learner.
This is just ordinary "knowledge".
Nefertari’s understanding of the holy bones has something to do with her teacher, Seti the Bone Healer.
As Seti is the most powerful idol wizard in the underground world, his professional name cannot be such a weird name as "Bone Healer".
Being able to replace his profession and become his title... is naturally because Seti has done something rarer and more iconic than advanced gold.
As the name suggests.
In addition to being a powerful idol wizard, an excellent healer, and an ancient ritualist... he is also the finest skeletal scholar the world has ever known.
He once successfully repaired the broken [Fearless Bone].
This is the holy skeleton that represents [Courage], and its location is the spine.
——Taking the path of a saint means voluntarily choosing a fate that is absolutely irreversible.
The holy skeleton is not an empty energy body, but a living organ with independent life that exists somewhere in the world.
After completing the test of the Holy Skeleton and getting the approval of the Holy Skeleton... you will also have to go through the extremely dangerous and **** [Wedge Ceremony].
In fact, roughly speaking, it is a transplant surgery.
If you want to replace your heart of justice, you must first cut out your own heart.
Of course, the installation steps are not that complicated. There is no need to bridge nerves, as long as the original part of the body is removed first, it can be plugged and used like the Sharingan, and the magical magic used for healing is not complicated.
The difficulty of this ritual is that... this ritual must be completed under the watchful eyes of at least twelve witnesses and while fully awake.
In other words, you can’t take anesthesia, and you can’t faint.
Just positions like "tongue", "eyes", and "right arm".
But positions like "Heart of Justice", "Skull of Honesty", "Flesh and Blood of Sacrifice"... it is very dangerous and troublesome to change them.
The reason why it is said that there is no turning back on the path of becoming a saint.
This is because if the saint violates the "sacred contract"... Although he will not lose all his stigmata like the Pope, nor will he lose his authority like the gods, the consequences will be equally serious.
It may even be more serious.
——If the saint betrays his own way, then the holy bones will leave him.
It is "leaving him" in the physical sense.
There was once a kind saint who betrayed his own way, so his tongue "blurted out"; there was also a righteous saint who controlled too much authority because of life and death, and eventually fell into evil ways... He lost his heart , the body with a hollow chest was found in his bedroom.
But if you follow your own path, you may destroy the holy bones.
Holy bones are not absolutely hard and indestructible.
Otherwise, the saint who holds [The Flesh and Blood of Sacrifice] would be nearly invincible.
The holder of the previous generation [Fearless Bone] was a hero from the Principality of Winter and was once a legendary mercenary.
The holy contract he held was very winter-like, and he swore to "never run away from a battle."
Before he became a saint, his identity as a mercenary offended many people. In the end, someone teamed up to plot and let him start a battle with the "God of Swords and Duels", Iris Marquis.
Iris is the **** of duels.
He will never give up in a fight, and he will never stop attacking until the opponent dies or surrenders.
In other words, the contents of the sacred contract between these two people happened to conflict.
In the end, the mercenary practiced his own path with his life.
[Fearless Bone] provided him with extremely powerful power, allowing him to be qualified to fight the extremely powerful Marquis Iris without holding the Book of Truth.
You must know that Iris is the subordinate **** of the Red Knight, and also has the attributes of a duel **** and a war **** - in a one-on-one duel, the power of Iris can be infinitely amplified.
In the first ten minutes, they were still tied. But after Marquis Iris successfully inflicted the first wound, the battle immediately became one-sided.
In less than five minutes, the mercenary was already scarred.
He lost his right arm, four fingers of his left hand, nearly all of his ribs, and two-thirds of his internal organs. One-third of the throat was cut open, and there were translucent penetrating wounds to the heart and lungs.
This injury is enough to kill an ordinary person four or five times. Not to mention fighting back.
But as long as you maintain your courage, the closer [Fearless Bone] is to the desperate situation, the more powerful it will burst out——
He has remained in a near-death state, but his strength is gradually getting stronger. And he doesn't intend to back down, he doesn't want to give in, and he doesn't want to die.
Every time you fall, you stand up, and every time you stand up, you become stronger——
He held back Iris Hou, who was attacking with all his strength, for an hour.
Even ended up blinding Iris Hou's left eye.
It wasn't until all the bones in his body were broken into pieces and almost turned into minced meat that he finally stood up again.
The spine, which was beaten into nearly a hundred pieces by the furious Marquis Iris, has completely lost its function as a holy skeleton.
At that time, people thought that the remains of "courage" had been lost.
Unexpectedly, thirty years later... a wizard named Seti collected all the fragments of the "Fearless Bone".
He transformed the surrounding cities into huge ceremonial grounds, named [Bone-Eating Forest] and [Bone-raising Ground].
Under the influence of the ceremonial grounds of the Bone Devouring Forest in the outer ring and the Bone Raising Ground in the inner ring, he spent twelve years successfully restoring the "Fearless Bone".
Not only the appearance is repaired, but the soul of [Courage] that has been dormant for a long time is also reawakened. It fully restored its function as a sacred skeleton.
As the first idol wizard in the world who can repair the holy bones, he even developed the "back door" of the holy bones.
He commissioned a friend to make a transformation mixture from the extract of the Skeleton of Courage, and injected it into his student's brain, successfully erasing his "feeling of fear." Later, Seti, the "Bone Healer", gave the "Fearless Bone" to the young student.
As expected, he bypassed the Fearless Bone certification system and successfully obtained the recognition of "Fearless Bone".
He is even just a Silver-level [Spiritual Master], and he is not a brave and fearless hero like the previous generation of heroes... He is even a somewhat timid and reticent young man.
But he became the "brave" of this generation.
This honor can undoubtedly be regarded as [the work of creation] - a great undertaking that only one person can achieve.
Now that Master Michelangelo has become the "Man in the Mirror", he is already the world's number one idol wizard.
This can also be regarded as the [Supreme Crown].
It was after the appearance of this "artificial saint" that the trend of searching for holy bones started in the underground world.
This man-made saint with "stolen courage" who has not even advanced to gold is undoubtedly the best mobile billboard.
——If you follow the same operation, you should be able to become a saint yourself.
Silver level is the most comfortable level...intelligent, strong, resistant to aging, powerful and long-lived. Many people are unwilling to take risks and advance to gold.
But if you can gain power beyond the average gold-level transcendent at the Silver level~IndoMTL.com~, who wouldn’t want to?
So the extraordinary beings and ritual masters, while trying their best to despise and belittle this "completely unqualified" saint, are secretly looking for the holy bones that have not yet recognized their master. He wanted to take them to Seti, the "Bone Healer", and spend a certain amount of money to have himself undergo this kind of surgery.
Of course, more extraordinary beings do not trust Seti.
They do not believe that this method can stimulate the power of the holy bones... Some people even believe that this "artificial saint" itself is a scam.
The purpose is to obtain more holy bones and information about the holy bones.
But Nefertari knew that this was not a scam.
This is true.
Because Alfonso, who was despised as the "Saint Thief"... was not only Nefertari's senior.
He is also the half-brother of Nefertari.
