Chapter 77 The Thief Saint Alfonso

Even among the wise, there are definitely only a very small number of people who understand the sacred bones.

The secret of the holy skeleton is not a heavy knowledge.

Because the saints never intended to "encrypt" this knowledge from the very beginning. They obtained the powerful oath power by publishing the curse.

The problem is that the secret of the holy skeleton is not [practical] enough.

Even if you know this knowledge, you can't use it to perform rituals, let alone make an impact. Although after knowing this knowledge, the binding force of the curse that the corresponding saint bears will be stronger, and the power of the oath will be stronger at the same time... but that is a benefit that has nothing to do with the learner.

This is just normal "knowledge".

Nefertari's understanding of the holy skeleton is not unrelated to her teacher "Bone Healer" Seti.

Seti, as the strongest idol wizard in the underground world, naturally couldn't have a strange name like "Bone Healer".

Being able to replace his occupation and become his title... Naturally, it is 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 aged ritualist...he is also the best known skeletal scholar in the world.

He once successfully repaired the broken [Fearless Bone].

This is the holy skeleton representing 【Courage】, and the part is the spine.

——To embark on the path of a saint means to voluntarily choose a destiny that is absolutely irreversible.

The holy skeleton is not a void energy body, but a living organ with independent life and living somewhere in the world.

After completing the test of the holy skeleton and getting the approval of the holy skeleton...you have to go through the extremely dangerous and bloody [Ritual of Wedge].

Basically, it's a transplant.

If you want to replace the 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 the nerves, as long as the original part of the body is removed first, it can be plug-and-play like a wheel eye, and the healing magic is not complicated.

The difficulty with this ritual is... the ritual must be under the watchful eye of at least a dozen witnesses.

Done while fully awake.

In other words, you can't use anesthesia, and you can't pass out.

Positions like "tongue," "eyes," and "right arm" are just fine.

But positions like "Heart of Justice", "Skull of Honesty", "Flesh of Sacrifice"... It is very dangerous and troublesome to replace them.

The reason is that the path of the saints cannot be turned back.

It's because if the saint violates the "holy deed"...Although it won't lose all the stigmata like the Pope, nor will it lose authority like the gods, but the consequences are equally serious.

Maybe even more serious.

- If the Holy One betrays his way, then the Holy Bones will leave him.

In the physical sense of "getting away from him".

There was once a benevolent saint who betrayed his own way, so his tongue "bluffed out"; there was also a righteous saint who took over his life and death, controlled too much authority, and finally fell into the evil way... He lost his heart and his chest was empty The incomparable body was found in his bedroom.

But if you practice your own way, it is entirely possible to destroy the holy skeleton.

Holy bones are not absolutely hard and indestructible.

Otherwise, the saint who holds [Sacrifice Flesh] is almost invincible.

The holder of the previous generation [Fearless Bone] was a hero from the Principality of Winter, who used to be a legendary mercenary.

The holy deed he holds is very winter-like, and he vows to "never run away from battle".

Before he became a saint, his identity as a mercenary offended many people. In the end, he was jointly calculated and let him fight the "God of Sword and Duel" Iris Hou.

Marquis Iris is the god of dueling.

He will never let water in a fight, and he will never stop attacking—until the opponent dies or surrenders.

In other words, the content of the holy deeds of the two people happened to conflict.

In the end, the mercenary practiced his own path with his life.

[Fearless Bone] provided him with extremely powerful strength, allowing him to have the qualifications to fight the powerful Iris Marquis without holding the Book of Truth.

You must know that Marquis Iris is the subordinate god of the Red Knight, and also has the attributes of a duel god and a god of war-in a one-on-one duel, the power of Marquis Iris can be infinitely magnified.

In the first ten minutes, they were still tied. But after Marquis Iris successfully caused the first wound, the battle situation immediately showed a one-sided trend.

In less than five minutes, the mercenary was already scarred.

He lost his right arm, four fingers on 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 was a clear penetrating wound to the heart and lungs.

This injury is reflected in ordinary people, enough to make them die four or five times. Not to mention fighting back.

But in the case of maintaining courage, the closer the [Fearless Bone] is to a desperate situation, the more powerful it can burst out——

He has been in a state of near death, but his strength is gradually increasing. And I don't want to back down, I don't want to admit defeat, and I don't want to die.

Stand up every time you fall, stronger every time you stand up—

He held back Iris Hou, who had shot with all his strength, for an hour.

In the end, he even blinded the left eye of Marquis Iris.

It wasn't until his whole body's bones were broken into pieces that it almost turned into minced meat that he finally didn't stand 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 skeleton 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 ceremony grounds, named [Bone-Eater Forest] and [Bone-Raising Ground].

Under the action of the Bone Eating Forest in the outer ring and the Bone Raising Ground in the inner ring, it took him twelve years to restore the "Fearless Bone" smoothly.

Not only is the appearance repaired, but even the soul of [Courage] that has been dormant has been awakened again. It fully restored its function as a holy skeleton.

As the first idol wizard in the world who can repair the holy skeleton, he even researched the "back door" of the holy skeleton.

He commissioned a friend to make a transformation mixture from the extract of the corpse of courage, and injected it into the brains of his students, successfully erasing his "sense of fear". Later, the "Bone Healer" Seti gave the "Fearless Bone" to the young student.

Sure enough, he really bypassed the Fearless Bone authentication system and was successfully recognized by the "Fearless Bone".

He is only a [Serious] of the silver rank, and he is not a brave and fearless hero like the previous generation of heroes... He is even a young man who is somewhat timid and does not like to talk.

But he became the "hero" of this generation.

This honor can undoubtedly be regarded as [Created Work]—a great achievement that only one person can achieve.

And now that Master Michelangelo has been sublimated to the "Man in the Mirror", he is already the world's number one idol wizard.

This can also be counted as the [Supreme Crown].

It was after the appearance of this "artificial saint" that the underground world set off a trend of finding holy bones.

This man-made saint who holds "stolen courage" and 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.

The silver rank is the most comfortable rank...intelligent, strong, not easy to age, powerful and long-lived. Many people are unwilling to take risks and advance to gold.

But if you can reach the silver rank, you will get the power that surpasses the ordinary golden rank extraordinary... Who wouldn't want to?

So the supernatural beings and ritualists, while trying their best to despise and belittle this "completely unqualified" saint, are secretly searching for the holy bones that have not yet been recognized as masters. I want to bring them to Seti the "Bone Healer" and pay a certain price to allow myself to undergo this kind of operation.

Of course, more extraordinary people don't trust Seti.

They don't believe that this method can stimulate the power of the holy bones... and even some people think that this "artificial saint" itself is a scam.

The purpose is to get more holy bones and information about holy bones.

But Nefertari knew it wasn't a scam.

This is real.

Because Alfonso, who is despised as a "thief saint"...is not only Nefertari's senior.

He is also Nefertari's half-brother.
