148 Raphael’s Wealth Part 3 (2/2)

Nailisi’s eyes lit up and she said, ”Master, are you saying that if I don’t destroy the bones, then I can…”

”Mm, don’t destroy it.”

”Then I shall bring it back to the Myers Mainland and look for a place to bury it, okay?” Nailisi said thoughtfully.

”Alright, wait a moment.” Saleen stopped Nailisi and gingerly removed a black ring from a finger bone of the skeleton. The ring did not have any magic patterns and was extremely rustic. There were no muscles around the finger, making the ring appear big. Other than that, the skeleton did not have any other magic equipment on it.

”Keep it.” Saleen put the black ring on his finger, now having four rings. If he had one more ring, he would reach the limit of a mage’s control capacities.

Magic equipment could not be stacked indefinitely. Currently, Saleen had the Ring of Gifts and the demonic ring. With the white crystal ring that his teacher had given him, there were no more slots for equipment on his left hand. Saleen named the new ring Raphael’s Ring and put it on his right hand.

Nailisi cautiously moved the skeleton and prepared to put it away. When the skeleton was touched by Nailisi, a crack resounded and the ribcage of the skeleton broke. Nailisi covered her mouth and looked at the broken skeleton in complete horror.

The strength of the bones was terrifying. Even if Nailisi wanted to break it, she would need to use her teeth.

”Master, it was not me.”

Saleen ignored Nailisi. He was stunned when he saw an object roll out of the skeleton’s chest. This object was a pale gold seal. The seal was very unique and was like a short arrow. On one end, there was a sharp arrowhead, and on the other end was a ring. The arrowhead had four sides, and there was holy prose carved on the seal.

This arrow-shaped seal looked just like any other ordinary object, yet it had penetrated Raphael’s chest and stayed inside. What was more unbelievable was that the position where the seal had stopped was where Raphael’s heart had been.

Saleen took the pale gold seal. The seal was unusually heavy and was flawless to the touch. The holy prose which looked like it had been carved on was only an illusion. It was an illusion that had avoided the detection of his icy sight.

”This item belongs to the Holy See. You won’t be able to use it,” Lex’s voice came from behind.

Saleen did not even turn around, only fiddling with the special seal. He then held onto the circular end of the seal and asked, ”Do you recognize this object?”

”Of course. Most mages would not do research on this, but I am a Grukos.”

”What is it?” Saleen secretly speculated as he waited for Lex’s revelation.

”The Seal of Divine Power, one of the three weapons that the pope possesses.” Lex’s answer was astounding. Fortunately, Saleen had not tossed the seal away.

”It’s fine. The seal is in a slumber. In this interdimensional space, it will not be able to respond to the commands of the Lord of Glory,” Lex consoled Saleen.

Saleen took a deep breath and said, ”Don’t scare me. I have a great deal of conflicts with the Holy See. If this is a divine weapon, then I’d better destroy it.”

”We do not possess that kind of power.” Lex regretfully looked at the Seal of Divine Power in Saleen’s hand. This item could only be wielded by holy masters who were at least at Grade 9, and it was an item symbolic of the pope. Even though the seal contained formidable power, it was a bad item for a mage.

Saleen thought for a moment before putting the Seal of Divine Power into the Ring of Gifts. The Ring of Gifts had been crafted by the Myers Goddess, so as long as the Lord of Glory did not descend upon the Myers Mainland, no one would be able peek into the secrets of the ring. The goddess might have fallen, but her divine rules would not be violated so easily.

Since this item could not be destroyed, it would be best to put it away. The Seal of Divine Power could not be considered completely safe in this interdimensional space either, as there was always the risk that the people of the Holy See would be able to find the coordinates of this space. When Saleen and Lex returned, this interdimensional space would not hold as many secrets as it had before.

”No wonder the Holy See had not made any big moves all these years. It was because they had lost one of their divine weapons.” When Lex saw that Saleen had put away the Seal of Divine Power, she could no longer feel the existence of that weapon, so she did not stop Saleen.

At this point in time, Saleen understood something. The Holy See had not killed Raphael back then. They had only dealt a heavy blow to Raphael, but the Seal of Divine Power was then lost, so in order to maintain stability, the Holy See had not exposed their own failure. Either way, Raphael had taken a fatal hit, so he would certainly die. It was a safer move to look for a scapegoat to die in place of Raphael and then cover up all of the news regarding the lost seal.

Since this item had fallen into the possession of Saleen, the Holy See would never get it back. If Saleen could not destroy this divine weapon, there was surely someone out there who could.
