Pirate Kingship

The middle of the Bantaan Islands.

The blue sea was rippled, the sea breeze was blowing, and a small fleet of four sailboats came from east to west.

A privateer, the Golden Deer, acted as a flower protector and a leading ship, a naval cruiser followed behind, and two merchant ships of the Greenville family were lined up in the middle.

Soon after leaving the first circulation belt and entering the range of the Bantaan Islands, they experienced the transition from cold winter to midsummer in a very short time.

In recent years, the north has been getting colder and colder, and often experienced white frost disasters.

In terms of climate alone, it is far less livable than overseas.

Catherine also changed into a relatively light goose yellow dress, and stepped on a pair of translucent crystal high heels.

Even without makeup, she had red lips and fair skin, and was youthful, beautiful, and bright.

What remained unchanged was all her jewelry, hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. They were all made of shiny mithril.

As the only person that Byron was willing to share his treasures with.

She just played with the crystal skull, whose value was hard to measure with money, and then she clutched the old priest's mithril cross emblem.

"This is the real treasure."

There was no way. Even though she knew that the value of the No. 3 crystal skull was far from comparable to the mithril emblem, the dragon's nature was beyond her control.

Catherine loved real gold and silver more than planting trees.

She immediately merged the emblem into the [Wonderful Bracelet·Silver Moon] on her wrist, and smiled happily:

"Not bad, not bad, you are still thinking about your sister, and my little treasury has gained another two ounces (56 grams)."

She kissed him hard on the forehead.

Just like Byron's [Warrior's Cup] can only be used to hold liquids, the [Silver Moon Bracelet] carefully crafted by a third-level master craftsman can only be used to hold mithril.

Until now, even Byron didn't know how much inventory was in her bracelet.

Compared to the wealth on the two ships, this small treasury can truly represent her generosity as a "Ms. Qianjin".

The core skill of the second level [Mithril Hand] can transform the rare and extraordinary metal of mithril into various weapons.

When she reaches the third level, as long as she has enough wealth, she can create multiple levels of mithril golems with a wave of her hand, moving like the wind and with infinite strength.

It can even differentiate into different types of soldiers to cooperate with each other in combat, and even artillery can't do anything to them.

Therefore, before that, she must save up her wealth bit by bit.

Even if she reaches the fourth or fifth level, she is destined to be a dragon.

Byron asked her to be the chief financial officer of his governor's mansion, and she never had to worry about being cheated out of a penny by others.

Miss Catherine is born to be the absolute nemesis of all corrupt officials and unscrupulous profiteers!

So. In the future, you only need to guard against her alone.

The workload of the governor has been greatly reduced, which is really gratifying, gratifying.

"Byron, look, is that island in front of us the Great Taiman? We're almost there."

On the forecastle of the Osprey, where only the two of them were, Catherine suddenly jumped up in joy.

At this time, Byron's role was "Vincent" who had just been released from the bottom cabin, just like a pair of real lords and guardian knights.

When they saw the island appearing in front of them, the last cruiser in the fleet suddenly raised a signal flag:

"We have arrived at the destination, and this ship is about to leave the fleet."

Without waiting for the Osprey to respond, it turned the rudder and left on its own.

The fifty musketeers who had been transferred to another merchant ship, the Kitty Hawk, in advance, lined up on the deck under the leadership of a Marine lieutenant.

Only this musketeer team followed Vincent to Greenville to take up his post. The York family would not take another cruiser for nothing.

Byron and the others did not care, but were relieved.

Now I am strong and the enemy is weak. Even if I accidentally reveal my flaws, I can easily make some unlucky person commit suicide.

"Check the ceremonial guard. This is our first time to be stationed in the colony. Show the momentum of the kingdom's soldiers."

As the captain and commander of this marine corps, "Vincent" pretended to give orders to the musketeers on the opposite ship.

[Royal Hound] Vincent wanted to marry Catherine, and he had long left the court and was now a lonely man.

He did not leave the gem of life.

Unless he could return to the mainland as the new earl of the Greenville family, no one would look at him again.

The musketeers were ignorant and let Byron easily harvest this army musketeer team of 50 people.

It was unrealistic to expect them to charge into battle, but it was not a problem to serve as the defense force of the new territory.

As long as they were washed a few times after a while, the rest would all be their own people.

The only thing Byron lamented was that he was really a little overwhelmed.

[Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor, [Pirate General] Bill, [Royal Hound] Vincent's vests are increasing.

Only Bruch is helping out, and he feels more and more stretched.

But each identity has to be maintained.

"Royal Hound Vincent is a nail left by the York family.

If it is removed directly, not to mention that the York family may send a more difficult guy.

Even the local Governor Newman family will have fewer concerns, and may find a family member to personally take action.

Before I set off, I pretended to offend Catherine, and was beaten up by her in public, and then locked up in a small dark room in the bottom cabin.

Only then did I disappear from the eyes of others.

Pirate General Bill is still a banner among pirates, and he must wait until his deputy Byron is fully grown before he can kick him away. ”

Byron couldn't help but sigh:

"It would be great if I was also a 'time management master'. I really want to find such a senior to learn from. "

The remaining three ships continued to move forward, and the island in front of them became larger and larger, gradually changing from a green dot to a touch of rich green.

In the clear blue water around them, there were several sea turtles as big as carriages, swimming leisurely.

Not far below them, there were clusters of colorful and beautiful coral reefs on the seabed.

It must be very pleasant to vacation and swim here.

Byron jumped up and rushed to the high mast along the side rigging of the foremast.

Catherine's body flashed with silver light, and she changed into a beautifully shaped full-body knight's armor and followed closely.

The moment she saw the scenery in front of her, she couldn't help but blurt out:

"It's so beautiful! "

Standing here, you can almost have a panoramic view of the entire Great Thaiman Island, which has an average altitude of no more than 200 meters.

The island is about 35 kilometers long and 7 kilometers wide on average. The trees on the island are lush and look like a large piece of emerald.

The terrain is gentle, mainly large green plains, surrounded by low mountains, vast mangrove swamps and colorful and beautiful coral reefs.

The transferred documents record that the waters near the island are rich in lobsters, turtles, hawksbill turtles, sponges, shells and various aquatic products, and the forestry is also very good.

There are a wide variety of fruit trees distributed on the island: coconut, breadfruit, banana, mango, citrus, etc., as well as palm, high-quality dye ink tree and mahogany.

Although it has a tropical climate, it is surrounded by the sea, and the annual average temperature is only The climate is very pleasant, between 24-30℃.

The only shortcoming is that the current development level is too low.

From here, most places still retain their original appearance. There is only one settlement on the island, Georgetown Port.

Even the most important lighthouse in the port looks a bit dilapidated and is in urgent need of repair or even further expansion.

The small port with a few sailboats parked in twos and threes is also very simple.

After taking over, they have to spend money, a lot of money!

The brilliance in Catherine's eyes that lit up because of the beautiful scenery dimmed instantly.

Reaching out and pressing his towering chest, he felt that he seemed to have some difficulty breathing:

"I knew that there was already a precedent of Taimanbulak occupied by the Castilians.

The situation of the other two islands in the archipelago, the main island of Taiman Island and the secondary island of Little Taiman Island, will not be much better.

As expected, this is a mess. If you want to generate positive returns, it is not as simple as working hard for one or two days. "

The description of the situation here in the fiefdom data handed over with the transfer order was not very good, and the actual situation was worse than Byron and Catherine imagined.

The data said that the population on the island was small, but there were only a few hundred people living on the 220 square kilometers of the island.

It was originally an autonomous colony established by private adventurers, and it took less than five years to develop.

The main income is agriculture, forestry, fishery, and a kind of demonized hawksbill turtle products that reached the extraordinary level.

Due to an expedition accident two months ago.

The adventurer [Nine Lives Cat] George, who was about to touch the third level of [Silver Law] , and his core team never came back.

Without reliable military support, it was difficult for the remaining ordinary people to continue operating in a dangerous place like the Bantaan Islands.

Later, they could not even afford to light the lighthouse and receive the spices protected by the Silver Law.

They had to choose to give up the ownership of the territory and submit an application to the Kingdom and the Maritime Court, requesting the official to take over the island.

This finally fell into Catherine's hands.

Byron's focus was more on the missing adventurer [Nine Lives Cat].

"Wild Sequence Adventurers, like me, need to chase danger all the time to continue to advance.

But as long as there is an accident, it is possible to lose everything.

The Nine Lives Cat is not an immortal cat, and there will always be a day when it stumbles. "

To be promoted to [Adventurer], you need to go through a ceremony called "Extreme Eight Items" to pay tribute to the power of nature.

They are: Emergence of Power; Birth of Heaven; Awakening of Earth; Creatures of Water; Eternal Movement of Wind; Solidification of Ice; Master of Life; Absolute Trust.

As long as you can complete one in the mortal stage, you can be successfully promoted to Adventurer.

If you can pass all of them, you can break the limit of the human body, achieve Nirvana, and be promoted to the second level in one step, and obtain core skills far beyond your peers.

Ability [Adaptive Evolution]: As long as you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future, allowing them to transform step by step in the hardships, and eventually become non-humans with both will and body!

Of course, the mortality rate of adventurers is always at the top of the list among all sequence professions.

It can be said that there are very few people who can complete the "Extreme Eight Items" in the mortal stage.

But in any case, this is a new beginning for two people.

And the Taiman Islands are located on the main transportation route connecting the east and the west, so there is naturally the most convenient deal to do.

——Low EQ: "Take it!"

High EQ: "Let's go to the end of the world and have a romantic date with every merchant ship and every native."

The brother and sister smiled at each other, and suddenly they were full of pride and said in unison:

"We are here, and good days are coming.

From today on, be an island owner, plant trees, rob money, and be famous in the seven seas!"

However.

Just as the fleet turned around the corner of the island from the northeast and headed for Georgetown built on the south bank of the island, a cannon suddenly sounded from the distant port.

I saw two sailing ships that had just docked here, and the flags belonging to Hastings on the masts were instantly replaced with skull pirate flags.

A large group of ferocious pirates rushed to the port from the cabin.

A broken voice like a gong shouted:

"Hattings people, you quickly hand over all the spices, gold, silver, food, and rum to me!"
