Chapter 7 The Courage of the Cowardly

In June and July, Annan did have a travel plan... and it might be a long time.

The United Kingdom was clearly the way to go.

Not long ago, Salvatore brought new information to Annan.

That was information from Master Chiron... As a Centaur, he saw the "Great Curse: Smoke Mirror" that would appear in the United Kingdom in mid-July.

--will.

The use of this word made Annan a little concerned.

But Annan didn't have the idea to get to the bottom of it.

The wizards of the Prophet School had already familiarized Annan with this non-human speaking style. As the ancestors of the prophets and wizards, the horsemen can also be said to be very authentic in their interpretation of the riddleman style.

Since the accuracy of the prediction is guaranteed, don't go into the details.

According to experience, when the king starts to doubt the prophecy, and then starts to do a few micro-manipulations on his own, it will add a lot of completely unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles. Now that it is enough to know that the accuracy of Chiron's prophecy is high enough and has a considerable degree of reference, and that Chiron has no malice towards himself.

This is probably a kind of no doubt about employing people.

Annan sometimes marvels at himself.

Since he came to this world, he has gradually mastered various techniques of avoiding strange things...

However, the United Kingdom has to wait until mid-July for any incidents to occur.

Before that, Annan had to find Nefertari first.

Annan had already made an appointment with Nefertari to go to the spore mill before the end of June.

According to the original plan, after Annan tested the adaptability of the holy bones, he would go to Alfonso, the fearless saint, and compete with several other candidate saints for the "Bone of Fearlessness".

However, this plan has gone awry.

According to the original selection, the golden-rank transcendent who is willing to succeed Alfonso and become the fearless saint... Apart from Annan, there are only "Captain Stone" Selicia, and "Winter Reverser" Vladimir .

But just two months before the ceremony, something suddenly went wrong.

Selicia lost the "ship in the stone" silver, was beaten back to the silver rank, and is now serving Grand Duke Annan; and Vladimir, the winter fighter, was "eliminated off-site" by Annan himself and fell directly.

As a result, the only person who can still perform this ceremony is Annan.

Just thinking of this, Annan's expression became very subtle.

——He really didn't want to eliminate Selicia and Vladimir outside the court!

But I always feel that he is completely unclear...

But the problem is not too big.

Because Annan actually didn't want the "Bone of Fearlessness" at all.

The reason why he agreed to Nefertari at that time was that he didn't want the Bone of Fearlessness to fall into the hands of Vladimir the Winterbreaker and become the enemy's power. In other words, he planned to use the "Bone of Fearlessness" as a bait to fish out Vladimir, who had been hiding from him before.

Of course, some people may say: don’t you want the holy skeleton given away for free?

If this thing "qualifies" and is safe and reliable, Annan will of course want it.

But the problem is,

Annan didn't trust Professor Gray's technology at all.

First of all, Annan was not recognized by the [Bone of Fearlessness], which represents "courage". That is to say, it was not paid attention to by this holy skeleton.

Justice, mercy, sacrifice, hope, protection.

At present, I have taken a fancy to Annan's holy bones, and there are only these five pieces in total.

Although Annan felt that he was not lacking in courage...but he always felt that the "Bone of Fearlessness" might have been played badly by Professor Hui.

Alfonso was not a man of courage at all.

However, by injecting him with the holy bone extract containing a high concentration of "courage", Professor Hui gave him the trait of "very close to the bone of fearlessness" directly...bypassing the detection of the holy bone.

In the judgment of Bone of Fearlessness, Alfonso's essence is very similar to himself. Then he is a qualified user.

It was also because of this that Alfonso's body was so tattered.

The holy bones and their hosts are a process of mutual selection and mutual change.

Of course, the holy skeleton will be very picky about its host, as long as the other party violates the oath or is no longer pure, it will leave it.

But at the same time, it will also continuously supply energy and transform the body. Make it more suitable for yourself, and at the same time continue the life of the host.

But because of Professor Hui's "compulsory approval technology", the Holy Skeleton did not detect Alfonso's physical incompatibility. From the perspective of "Fearless Bone", Alfonso has a very high degree of adaptability to himself. There is no need to adjust at all, and he can directly output at full frequency.

It's probably like using an electrical appliance forcibly when the voltage does not match.

If it is a precision electrical appliance, the moment the plug is inserted into the socket, it will be directly broken down by the voltage and a puff of smoke will burst out.

Alfonso's body didn't burst into flames on the spot, it can only be said that the frankness given to him by the Bone of Fearlessness is indeed quite high...

From this point of view, we can also see the talent of Professor Hui.

From the current point of view, his skill is probably only supported by "Fearless Bone".

Because [Fearless Bone] can increase the strength of the Fearless Saint—although I don’t know the specific effect of the Fearless Bone, but the Fearless Saint of the previous generation received the attack head-on, and his power is also top-notch among all the gods The attack of Marquis Iris did not die because of it.

Today, Alfonso's body is about to collapse.

If he can't remove the holy skeleton and transplant it to another person before he collapses, he will definitely be completely blown up by the bone of fearlessness. At that time, it will be an alien-level nightmare.

Even if he wants to die, he must wait for his holy skeleton to be dismantled before he can die.

Of course... he is Nefertari's brother after all.

Now Nefertari is also the ritual instructor of the players. Moreover, Alfonso also came to the Dukedom of Winter once, and in Annan's opinion, he was considered a pretty good person.

Recommended, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, you can cache books and read aloud offline!

If possible, Annan still hopes that he can survive.

But Annan is not a virgin either.

—He would not save Alfonso with his own life.

Because Alfonso wasn't that important yet.

Annan knew the value of his existence.

There is indeed no conflict between the holy bones. If one is equipped, it is not said that the other cannot be equipped. But using cheating means to directly modify the character to force fit "Bone of Fearlessness", then the situation is different.

Smack the brain with a high concentration of holy bone extracts - this will undoubtedly directly change a person's mind. In that case, Annan will completely become a "brave".

Even if self-doubt is strong enough, it may be abandoned by the holy bones.

This degree of spiritual upheaval will definitely make the holy skeleton who had taken a fancy to Annan before reject him.

Holy Bones: You have changed.

... Although this method will not directly change a person's personality brutally, it may indirectly affect his personality.

The "unreasonable courage" that echoes in my mind all the time, as long as I don't restrain it a little, it will easily expand into arrogance.

It must be a person who is low self-esteem, silent and rational enough to check and balance the courage that is constantly hatching in his heart.

According to Professor Hui's calculations, this can actually make a person with low self-esteem gain self-confidence and become a normal person.

The reason why Alfonso, an ordinary silver-rank transcendent, was chosen was not because he was lucky.

It's because only Alfonso can control this newly added courage through Professor Hui's psychological calculations.

——It is precisely because I am cowardly enough that I can control this supreme power of courage.

This has to be said... quite ironic.
