Pirate Kingship

April 25, 1472, three o'clock in the afternoon.

The [Silver Law], with the lighthouses in the royal ports of various countries in the Bantaan Islands as the hub, suddenly activated on its own and descended on every royal colony.

The governors, subordinate officers, and members of the returning action team who had received the news in advance and were waiting in the Governor's Mansion were surrounded.

When Byron brought Violet, who acted as a temporary secretary, Beretania, who was quickly promoted to the captain of the "Support" after being transformed, and James, the three adventurous captains reopened their eyes. time.

It was discovered that a group of people had collectively entered the spiritual world and arrived at a huge public dreamland based on the collective subconscious of mankind.

It feels a bit like being in a lucid dream, but the rules around you are the same as those in the outside world, and you can exert your own strength 100%.

This is obviously the power of the Silver Law.

Where they were, on one side was the deep and boundless sea of ​​pitch-black source material, and on the other side was the huge landmass transformed by the collective subconscious of mankind.

Just didn't see anyone else.

"Is this a lighthouse?

Look, what a big lighthouse! "

When everyone turned around to look for others, Violet, who was standing next to Byron, suddenly let out an exclamation.

The others followed and turned to look, only to realize that the huge mountain-like shadow behind them turned out to be a towering lighthouse towering into the clouds.

The location where they appeared was exactly at the foot of the lighthouse.

Byron subconsciously activated [Echoes of History], and with a flash of inspiration in his right eye, he saw the data of the lighthouse in front of him.

Just the square base of the tower at the bottom is roughly 14 meters high by visual inspection, covering a huge rock on the seaside.

The lower tower, which rises in the center of the tower base, is 71 meters high and is also square. There is a bronze statue of "The Son of Poseidon Blowing Conch" standing on each of the four corners of the upper end.

They face four different directions to indicate wind direction and bearing.

The middle tower suddenly shrinks into a thin column, about 9 meters high.

Eight thick granite stone pillars are erected on the octagonal position of the middle tower, which together support a circular top like the sun.

The total height is 135 meters. There is no doubt that this is the tallest building on the Silver Continent.

At this moment, the top of the lighthouse was emitting endless silver light, replacing the human sun and lighting up the entire spiritual world, leaving only a small shadow at the bottom of the tower where they were.

In this world, various magnificent civilization wonders often represent different meanings, and there is no saying that wonders harm the country.

The lighthouse in front of us is particularly special because apart from its appearance parameters, it only has a short name:

"Level 0 holy relic - Pharos Lighthouse!"

Yes, this is not the power projection of a certain lighthouse sequence transcendent, but a real zero-level holy relic that spans the material and spiritual worlds.

And it's not like the [True Cross] that Byron once saw from a distance. After it was destroyed by an unknown force, only an unknown number of silver fragments were left. Instead, it was a well-preserved complete body.

This is also the first intact zero-level holy relic that he has seen with his own eyes.

Only when the thirteen crystal skulls in his hand are combined into one and gather all the knowledge inheritance of Taya civilization, can he be qualified to compare with it.

At this time, an enthusiastic female voice suddenly sounded beside them:

"Everyone from the Kingdom of Hetings, welcome to the oldest and largest lighthouse in mankind - the Pharos Lighthouse.

I'm Delia Maxwell, a facilitator at Lighthouse Federation.

The meeting location is in the Lighthouse Chamber. Please come with me. "

Everyone looked down and saw a young woman wearing a simple gray linen cloak appearing in front of them.

She has a sweet appearance, but her figure cannot be seen because she is covered by her cloak. However, her long platinum blond hair is quite dazzling, which is very impressive.

"Hello Miss Delia, I am Byron Tudor, Governor of Jamestown. Nice to meet you."

Byron nodded to her and walked into the lighthouse under the guidance of the other party.

The group of people climbed up step by step along the granite stairs that were wide enough for elephants to pass. Invisible strength surrounded their bodies, and it was not difficult to go up to the tenth floor in one breath.

This is probably an extraordinary version of the elevator.

On each floor, Delia, the guide, also introduced them to the internal structure of this magnificent building in a timely manner:

“The Lighthouse of Pharos was built at the end of the Mythic Age, about two hundred years before the Silver Age.

It is the earliest and largest lighthouse in the world. Today, two thousand years later, it has become a concrete symbol of the concept of lighthouse.

The main body of the lighthouse is built on three levels of steps.

The main tower is composed of three floors. The first floor is a square structure with a height of 60 meters. There are more than 300 rooms of various sizes inside, which are used as fuel depots, lift shafts, and workshops for various departments;

The second floor is an octagonal structure with a height of 11 meters. It is mainly used to store and transport whale oil and potion-quality olive oil. Of course, it is now gradually replaced by whale oil and spice mixtures with better effects;

The third floor is a circular structure with eight 8-meter-high stone pillars surrounding the dome lighthouse.

At the top of the lamp tower, there is an 8-meter-high bronze statue of the Sun God.

This great building was born two thousand years ago. Even now, it is an architectural miracle that is difficult to replicate. Every time I see it, my heart surges. "

Delia spoke with pride, and Byron and the others were also amazed.

This zero-level holy relic in the shape of a lighthouse should strictly be considered a "wonder of civilization" by humans.

Similar buildings include the Hanging Gardens, the Great Wall of the North, etc., each with its own magical and extraordinary abilities.

The Pharos Lighthouse occupies a series of firsts, such as the first lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse, and the oldest existing lighthouse. It is far from being comparable to the first iron blast furnace and the first Tudor sailing ship in Byron's hands.

In the Bronze Age, when material production was theoretically extremely backward.

Such a huge building made of materials such as granite and bronze is almost impossible to be completed by manpower alone. It is obvious that it has the help of extraordinary powers that have prospered to the extreme in the mythological era.

It also makes them more and more curious about what happened in the past that caused the old gods to fall and humans to become kings.

Just then, a lift platform full of fuel passed in front of them. Delia continued:

"In the past, the fuel for the lighthouse was whale oil, potion-grade olive oil, and wood.

Two thousand years ago, engineers also used mirrors to reflect sunlight and light to the farther sea surface based on the principle of reflection.

This unparalleled lighthouse, shining with sunlight during the day and brightly lit at night, conscientiously guides incoming ships and brings unparalleled security to the helmsman.

Even the "Gospel of Creation" written at the beginning of the establishment of the religion has a description of this lighthouse:

'They dived into the sea in boats and traded with the great ocean; they saw the works of the Creator and the wonders he built in the deep water.'

Two thousand years later, the core hub of the colonial lighthouse system is still here. Isn't it shocking?"

The group was amazed.

Byron also put away his condescending mentality of standing on the shoulders of giants and pointing fingers, and re-examined the development of the extraordinary civilization in this world:

"As mortals, every step forward on the road to the extraordinary is an encroachment on their own status.

Even so, they still became the masters of the world in the Silver Age, at least the masters of an entire Silver Continent.

The foundation they possess is obviously far more than it seems.

Although the specific capabilities of this lighthouse are unknown.

But at least one thing is known, it is the core hub of the colonial lighthouse network system that spans the real and material worlds. Once it is gone, most of the overseas development business will collapse instantly.

And just look at a zero-level holy relic that supports the huge Lighthouse Federation, and you will know that the water in the upper layer of the extraordinary world is deeper than I know."

Soon, they reached the top of the 60-meter square structure on the first floor, and saw a circular meeting hall that seemed to occupy an entire floor from a distance.

Obviously, no matter which world they are in, they can't escape the bad habit of leaders always liking to hold meetings.

Moreover, Byron knew a principle well: "Hold a big meeting for small matters, a small meeting for big matters, and no meeting for particularly important matters."

According to his experience, if any proposal in this kind of meeting mode can reach any consensus in the end, then there is really something fishy.

Unless

The local senior officials of each country have already discussed the relevant details, and now it is possible to just notify them to implement it.

"That is even more meaningless."

Just when Byron was feeling a little troubled by this abominable thing.

Suddenly, he saw that several groups of representatives from various countries who had arrived in advance seemed to have a conflict at the gate in front.

"Some people don't even look at themselves in the mirror.

You can't even see that the ownership of the "protection of religion" has been determined, and you still dare to compete with us Castile for seats?

You should hurry back and enjoy the last comfort. When you get the "protection of religion", Castile will drive you all out of the Bantaan Islands sooner or later.

Every inch of overseas land belongs to Castile and His Majesty the King!"

Standing in the center of the crowd was a group of arrogant Castilians.

Obviously, they are stronger than other forces.

Based on the intelligence collected in the past few days, Byron recognized at a glance that the one who was shouting was the new Havana Governor Fox Ulysses, a [Fortress Guard] who was an army officer.

Behind him stood the only fourth-level hero-level extraordinary person at the scene, [Two-Faced Man] Smith Robert, who obviously gave him unlimited courage.

Provoking all the countries, they should be the first to enter the venue.

In fact, according to the comparison of national strength, they do have this capital.

After he said this, the other countries naturally could not do anything that would damage their national dignity, otherwise they would wear the official hat.

They immediately confronted him together, and no one could enter the door.

Standing at the front of the team was a woman.

Her graceful body was wearing a emerald light gauze skirt with lotus leaf sleeves, revealing her white arms and a piece of white on her chest, and the gemstone brooch was shining.

She wore a veil hat on her head, and between the white veil were a pair of light blue eyes, with a small teardrop mole at the corner of her left eye.

Only a touch of flaming red lips was revealed at the bottom of the veil, and her every move was full of charm.

She wore a pair of sapphire high heels customized by a master, making this noble lady look particularly tall and charming.

This was none other than Byron's aunt, Jacqueline's mother, the third-level [singer] Meganella.

"What a coincidence? Has my aunt returned to the colony and taken over as the governor of the Iris Colony?"

Byron suddenly realized that when the construction of Torrent Fortress just started, his aunt had spent a lot of money to entrust him to take care of Jacqueline who had caused trouble in the Old World (Chapter 189).

She herself returned to Iris alone to report on her work. Calculating that more than three months had passed, it was enough for a round trip.

"It's my fault that I was too busy plotting against the Newman family during this period and didn't have time to pay attention to my cousin Jacqueline, that problem child.

He didn't realize that this aunt who was very good at judging people had returned.

not good! "

Immediately, his first reaction was:

"It's broken, I think the balance of the child's mission is gone!"

My aunt gave me a deposit of 5,000 pounds and agreed to pay another 5,000 pounds when I got back.

But now that one layer of the vest has been taken off, we are all relatives after all, and Byron is also a shameless person, so it is really hard to talk about asking for the balance.

“Fortunately, my sister is now in charge of the accounts of the Lancaster Party.

At that time, the money will be allocated to the rebellion funds for this quarter, and then the bill will be sent to the aunt and asked her to pay!

The road may be uneven, but the account must be smooth.

I'm such a clever guy. "

At this time, Meganila's towering chest rose and fell violently, obviously she was very angry with Fox, the new Governor of Havana.

He couldn't help but sarcastically said:

“Hmph, the former naval officer [Conqueror] Cortez died in Azik City, and the former governor Velasquez died in Treasure Island.

Havana's Port Royal was captured by the native emperor, and the former governor's wife and sisters were snatched away by the natives and gave birth to their little ones.

Even the bloody disaster [Maywind] was an accident caused by you Castilians.

I really can't imagine how thick-skinned you are to have the nerve to talk nonsense here? ! "

"Hahaha"

Since ancient times, the truth is the most hurtful. Meganila's words immediately aroused laughter from the representatives from various countries behind her.

Castile always wants to monopolize colonial interests, and all other countries are dissatisfied with it, so why not do they?

In addition to a few small countries, there are currently six relatively strong maritime countries or regions that believe in the Church of the Creator:

Castile, Hettings, Iris, Netherlands, Rhine League, Kalmar League.

As for the most prestigious Holy Silver Empire, it only has the name of an empire and a crown that ranks above the kings and below the pope.

However, because of the loose federal structure, it is difficult to expand externally. At most, it can only intervene through commercial alliances between cities such as the Rhine League.

All countries are eyeing Castile, the maritime hegemon who has the greatest interests, and never hesitate to take advantage of any opportunity to add insult to injury.

However, even before the hunting operation has begun, our own people are already at war with each other. How can we expect them to cooperate seamlessly to kill the "May Wind"?

On the contrary, most of the people who came here were old acquaintances from the International Port. They had dealt with Byron directly and indirectly, and none of them were strangers.

It is not impossible to form another anti-Castilian alliance.

"snort!"

The fourth-level heroic transcendent [Two-Face Man] Smith Robert took a step forward, snorted coldly, and wanted to show off to Magnilla who dared to show off.

At this moment, Delia had already led Byron to the outskirts of the crowd.

Originally, a deacon from the Lighthouse Federation was always standing at the door, watching them quarrel over seats and action control, and remained neutral and paid no attention to them.

But after seeing Byron approaching, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Bypassing the tit-for-tat representatives of various countries, he strode towards their direction.

After changing the indifference on his face, he smiled with heartfelt reverence, and rushed forward to hold Byron's hand in one stride:

"Dear Mr. Congressman, I'm really sorry for wasting your time.

Please come with me here, we have already prepared internal seats for you. "

On the back of Byron's right hand that he held tightly, at some point, a blue whale oil lantern mark that only they could see quietly appeared.

As the deacon moved his hand, he discovered that there was a brass nameplate on the other side of the conference room that said "Members' exclusive passage, no idlers allowed", and a red carpet was spread on the floor.

In the noisy venue, there was a moment of silence.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously turned toward them.

"this"

Byron originally wanted to hide himself subconsciously as usual.

But looking around, on his left was the petite Violet, and on his right was his subordinate Beretania, who regarded him as a born king.

The three adventure captains with the keenest sense of crisis had already hid behind him at the first opportunity.

Only then did Byron suddenly realize that all the way up to now, he had long been a standout, and no one was taller than him.

It's time to test your skills against powerful men from all walks of life.

So, the tall body in the blue general's uniform suddenly straightened up like a javelin, stretched out his hand and said hello to the old acquaintances who were still jockeying for seats:

"Gentlemen and ladies, please do your work first, and I will do my part. I'm sorry!"
