Pirate Kingship

"Where is my steed?"

Until he followed Gus into the largest slave guild in the port, Byron was still troubled by the group of misfits under his command.

The misfortunes of contract servants are different, and of course the lives of pirates also have their own joys and sorrows.

There are usually three motivations for a person to make up his mind to become a pirate.

One is the extreme poverty that makes it impossible to survive and the dark future; the other is the desire for wealth, power, and breaking through the class;

The last one is the criminals on the continent who are really desperate!

It is because each extraordinary profession has its own motto and professional norms.

The [Law Master], [Punishment Knight], [Warden] of the Tribunal sequence. Even the [Judge Knight] of the Church will not miss any opportunity to promote themselves.

They will definitely bite those criminals and chase them to the ends of the earth.

Since ancient times, the vast ocean has been the safest refuge for criminals.

Under normal circumstances, the second and third motivations are often combined to become the main force in the pirate group.

It is almost impossible to find the kind of "good family children" that the army likes when selecting soldiers.

There is no organization and no discipline.

They may be strong and dare to fight and kill, but even if resources and knowledge are unlimited, they can hardly become the strong army with iron will that Byron remembers.

Byron does not want to accept all kinds of people on the ship.

"As the seed of the future pirate group, the quality of the original personnel is particularly important.

Maybe I should just find a group of blank paper and train them from scratch for a year or two?"

If Byron's own behavior pattern is defined, he thinks "lawful evil" may be more appropriate.

Willing to be a self-interested person according to certain rules, when his own interests conflict with others, he will choose to sacrifice others without hesitation.

But he will also maintain order and stability, and is committed to formulating rules and laws that are in line with his own interests.

In the future, the crew members who will board the [Golden Deer], regardless of their abilities, at least they cannot be "chaotic evil" who only cause trouble.

"What are you looking at? Eight Fingers? Gus?"

Byron looked up and suddenly found that Eight Fingers and Gus, who had been following him, had stopped unconsciously.

Following their gaze, he found that this slave guild, which had many trading companies, sold more than just slaves.

Entering the main entrance of the slave guild, it turned out to be a bustling commercial street.

On both sides of the wide road, there were densely packed shops in minimalist northern style.

As far as the eye could see, there were contraband defined by the church and the kingdom everywhere.

Hallucinogenic drugs, strong poisons, powerful military weapons, small sleeve arrows for assassination, and a variety of explosives.

There were even many extraordinary potions that were obviously made with taboo knowledge.

There was no need to use [Echoes of History], as their labels clearly stated everything.

[Wandering Witch's Height-Increasing Potion:

It can make adults continue to grow taller. One bottle of potion can increase height by five centimeters, but it cannot increase weight at the same time. Please be careful in allocating your own mass. 】

【Wandering Witch's Weight Loss Potion:

Only effective for women, one bottle of potion can make you lose ten pounds in three days, but the part of the body that loses weight is random. 】

【Wandering Witch's Iron Cannon Potion:

Only effective for men, the red pill can make a certain part of the body very energetic all day long.

Also random! Maybe you can get an indestructible tongue or finger? 】

【.】

There are many similar potions, and the main feature is a strong effect, plus unpredictability.

For a moment, Byron couldn't tell whether this was a potion effect or a side effect under the punishment mechanism.

It's better to say that they are potions than to say that they are a display of the side effects of taboo knowledge.

Byron was very suspicious of how brave a person would dare to drink this kind of thing?

However, when he continued to read it, he found that it was not these things that attracted Eight Fingers and Gus, but a list posted on the wall.

"Charles Rich List (this time located: Luwana County, Iris Kingdom)

10th place: Doyle Harvey, spice merchant, director of Thyme Trading Company, with a fortune of 23,800 pounds;

9th place: Clemens Walter, Lord, lucky heir of the nobility, with a fortune of 25,100 pounds;

8th place: Bart Clark, shipowner, owns two ocean-going merchant ships of his own, with a fortune of 29,300 pounds;

7th place: Thomas Wayne."

The honest man looked at the dizzying numbers on it with his eight fingers, wiped the saliva that was about to flow to the corners of his mouth, and muttered to himself:

"It turns out that there are so many rich people in just one county. They must work very hard, right?"

Although it was not the first time that the money-loving Gus saw the rich list, he still couldn't move his feet every time he saw it.

The face full of poverty was filled with envy:

"This list changes every week to a new region and a new group of rich people.

But no matter how remote the place is, as long as the people on the list are on the list, I can't afford them.

I don't know when I can be on the list?"

Byron shook his head helplessly, waved his hand in front of them, and poured a basin of cold water on them:

"Hey, come back to your senses!

Don't you see where you are here?

Since the so-called rich list is posted in Anchor Bay, it is no longer a rich list, but a serious pig-killing list!

Praise them for their hard work? Can I replace them? Hey, you two are really unqualified to be pirates, and you are simply embarrassing this profession. "

As he said, he raised his hand to stop a fierce pirate passing by, pointed at the list and asked him:

"Brother, what was your first thought when you saw this rich list?"

"Nonsense, of course...rob these fat sheep!"

The man looked at Byron pitifully as if he was looking at a fool, shook his head and turned away.

Byron turned around and spread his hands to the two young men who were already sluggish.

"You see, this is the normal reaction of a pirate.

In fact, the dignitaries and extraordinary people of various countries know that this very famous [First-level Holy Relic Charles Rich List] on the East Coast is also called the [Legendary Fat Sheep List].

It once belonged to the North Sea Pirate King [Whale Hunter], and is now managed by the Captains' Council of Iron Anchor Bay.

Every week, the names of some wealthy people in a region are randomly selected and displayed. The higher the sequence level, the less likely they are to be on the list.

It has always been used as a business guide for pirates.

Every time the original version is updated, the Captains' Council of Iron Anchor Bay will copy it and post it throughout Iron Anchor Bay to facilitate them in choosing looting targets. "

"This thing is undoubtedly a [holy relic] for the pirates of Iron Anchor Bay, which can guide them to make a fortune.

But for the rich people on the list, it is undoubtedly a [cursed object].

Even if there is no curse of extraordinary power, just exposing their own property in detail to countless hungry wolves is enough to be terrifying.

About one-fifth of them disappeared completely from this world after being on the list within a year.

And I heard that 45% of the rich people on the list in the world are Remit people. "

Eight Fingers and Guts could not help swallowing their saliva, and finally had a more intuitive understanding of the dangers of the extraordinary world.

Some things in this world are far more secretive and difficult to guard against than guns and swords.

Whether it is Guts, who has some knowledge, or Eight Fingers, who is a country bumpkin, they dare not point fingers at the things here and follow Byron closely.

But after Byron popularized the knowledge of [Holy Relics] for them, they turned to look forward to when they could get a powerful [Holy Relic] of their own.

And Byron looked at the first entry [Historical Corrector] that he had successfully activated after he took office as [Storm Knight].

And its effect:

"1. Your anchor is more stable.

The object with whom you have an anchor connection will also be more easily drawn into a certain historical vortex with you, approaching various unknowns and secrets.

Of course, if the [Anchor] is strong enough and there are enough of them, you may be pulled out of the vortex directly!

2. As compensation, when participating in secret events with a historical influence of more than 30.

You can summon a one-time [holy relic] related to a region or nation from history at any time to help you correct history.

The higher the degree of decryption, the stronger the effect of the [holy relic]! "

He thought to himself:

"In fact, it may not be that difficult to get a [holy relic]. "

Just at this time.

Byron suddenly stopped in front of a store called "Golden Palm Trading Company" that looked very familiar.

He frowned and stared at the door for a long time with some uncertainty.

Finally, he couldn't help but follow the fleeting throbbing in his heart and walked in.
