The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 7: The courage of the coward
In June and July, Annan does have travel plans... and they may be quite long.
The United Kingdom is obviously a must go.
Not long ago, Salvatore brought new information to Annan.
That was the information from Master Chiron... His future vision as a centaur saw that the "Great Spell: Smoke Mirror" would appear in the United Kingdom in mid-July.
——will.
The use of this word made Annan a little concerned.
However, Annan had no intention of getting to the bottom of it.
Those wizards of the prophet school have made Annan familiar with this non-human speaking style. As the ancestor of the prophet wizard, the Riddler style can be said to be very authentic.
Since the accuracy of the prediction is guaranteed, there is no need to pursue the details.
According to experience, when the king begins to doubt the prophecy and then starts to make some blind micro-manipulations on his own, it will cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles. Now that we know that the accuracy of Chiron's prophecy is high enough and have a considerable degree of reference, and that Chiron has no ill intentions towards him, this is enough.
This can probably be regarded as a kind of trust in employing people.
Annan would sometimes marvel at himself.
Since he came to this world, he has gradually mastered various techniques to avoid strange things...
However, the United Kingdom will have to wait until mid-July for any incident to occur.
Before that, Annan had to go find Nefertari first.
Annan had made an appointment with Nefertari before to go to the Sporadic Mill before the end of June.
According to the original plan, Annan should go to the fearless saint Alfonso after testing the adaptability of the holy bones, and compete with several other candidate saints for the "Fearless Bones" spot. .
However, this plan has already gone very wrong.
According to the original candidates, there are gold-level extraordinary beings who are willing to succeed Alfonso and become the fearless saint... Apart from Annan, there are only "Captain in the Stone" Selicia and "The Winter Defying One" Fra Kimmel.
But just two months before the ceremony, something suddenly went wrong.
Selicia lost her "Ship in a Stone" silver and was knocked back to the Silver level, and is now serving Archduke Annan; while Vladimir, the anti-winter, was "eliminated off the field" by Annan himself and died directly.
As a result, the only person who can still perform this ritual is Annan.
Just thinking of this, Annan's expression became very subtle.
——He really didn’t want to eliminate Selicia and Vladimir off the court!
But I always feel that he can’t explain it at all...
But the problem is not that big.
Because Annan actually doesn’t want the “Fearless Bone” at all.
The reason why he agreed to Nefertari at that time was because he did not want the Fearless Bone to fall into the hands of Vladimir the Winter Rebellion and become a force for the enemy. In other words, he planned to use the "Fearless Bone" as a bait to fish out Vladimir, who had been avoiding him before.
Of course, some people may say: Don’t you want the holy bones given away for free?
If this thing "passes quality inspection" and is safe and reliable, Annan will certainly want it.
But the problem is that Annan doesn't trust Professor Gray's technology at all.
Annan was not recognized by the [Fearless Bone] which represents "courage" in the first place. That is to say, this holy skeleton was not paid attention to.
Justice, mercy, sacrifice, hope, protection.
Currently, I am interested in 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 "Fearless Bone" might have been ruined by Professor Gray.
Alfonso is not a man of courage at all.
But Professor Gray injected him with a holy bone extract containing a high concentration of "courage", allowing him to directly obtain the characteristics "very close to the fearless bones"... bypassing the detection of the holy bones.
In the judgment of Fearless Bone, Alfonso's essence is very similar to his own. Then he is a qualified user.
It is precisely because of this that Alfonso's body is in such tatters.
Sacred bones and their hosts are a process of mutual selection and mutual change.
The Holy Skeleton will certainly be very picky about its host, and will leave it as long as the other party violates its oath or is no longer pure.
But it will also continuously supply energy and transform the body. Make it more suitable for itself and at the same time extend the life of the host.
But because of Professor Gray's "forced recognition technology", the Holy Skeleton did not detect Alfonso's physical discomfort. From the perspective of "Fearless Bone", Alfonso has a very high adaptability to himself. He does not need to adjust at all and can directly output at full frequency.
It's probably like forcibly using electrical appliances when the voltage is not suitable.
If it is a precision electrical appliance, the moment the plug is inserted into the power strip, it may be directly broken down by voltage and a cloud of smoke will burst out.
Alfonso's body did not burst into smoke and explode on the spot. It can only be said that the frankness added to him by the Fearless Bone is indeed quite high...
From this point of view, we can also see Professor Gray’s talent.
Currently, this skill of his is probably only supported by "Fearless Bone".
Because [Fearless Bone] can add extremely strong toughness to the fearless saint - although the specific effect of the fearless bone is not known, the fearless saint of the previous generation, who received the attack power head-on, is also known as the most powerful among all gods. Even the first-rate Marquis Iris' attack did not result in his death.
Now, Alfonso's body is about to collapse.
If the holy bones cannot be removed and transplanted into another person before he collapses, he will definitely be completely exploded by the Fearless Bones. At that point, it will be an alien-level nightmare.
Even if he were to die, he would have to wait until his holy bones were disassembled.
Of course...he is Nefertari's biological brother after all.
Now Nefertari is also the ritual instructor of the players. Moreover, Alfonso has also been to the Principality of Winter once, and in Annan's opinion, he is quite a good person.
Recommended, it’s really good and worth installing. After all, you can cache and read books offline!
If possible, Annan still hopes that he can survive.
But Annan is not the Holy Mother either.
——He would not use his own life to save Alfonso.
Because Alfonso is not important to that extent yet.
Annan knows the value of his existence.
There is indeed no conflict between the Holy Skeletons~IndoMTL.com~I equipped one, but it didn’t say that I couldn’t equip the other. But if you use cheating methods and directly modify your character to force adaptation to the "Fearless Bone", then the situation is different.
Injecting a high concentration of holy bone extract into the brain - this will undoubtedly directly change a person's mind. In that case, Annan will completely transform into a "brave" shape.
Even having strong enough self-doubt may lead to being abandoned by the Holy Bones.
This level of spiritual upheaval will definitely make the Holy Skeleton, who had previously fallen in love with Annan, reject him.
Holy Skeleton: You have changed.
...Although this method will not directly and violently change a person's personality, it may indirectly affect his or her character.
The "gratuitous courage" that echoes in the mind all the time can easily swell into arrogance as long as it is not restrained.
You must be a person who has low self-esteem, is silent and rational enough, to be able to check and balance the courage that is constantly hatching in your heart.
According to Professor Gray's calculations, this can actually help a person with low self-esteem gain confidence and become a normal person.
The reason why Alfonso, an ordinary Silver-level transcendent, was chosen was not because he was lucky.
It's because through Professor Gray's psychological calculations, only Alfonso can control this new courage.
——It is precisely because I am cowardly enough that I can control this supreme power of courage.
I have to say... this is quite ironic.
