Pirate Kingship

Hua La La.

Under the night, after leaving the capital Kingston, the [Eight-legged Pegasus] immediately jumped into the sea, breaking through the waves and running like thunder.

The two siblings did not immediately set foot on the first circulation belt to the south, but first detoured north and came to the Prince's Territory of Thorenberg, where they grew up together.

This is the northern border of the Kingdom of Hastings and the entire Channel Islands.

Catherine's original title [Flower of the North] came from this.

Elizabeth Woodville is the most beautiful woman in the islands, and Catherine is the most beautiful in the north. Now their beauty is indistinguishable.

Looking down from the sky, the Galt Highlands are full of mountains and forests, with endless deciduous forests, and low green grass and moss that gently undulate.

Because of the high latitude, in summer, the sun always likes to stay for a long time at sunrise and sunset, with the most beautiful sunrise and sunset in the whole continent.

In winter, the daytime becomes a short moment that connects dawn and dusk. No matter how you try to keep it, it cannot be retained, but the night sky is always clear and bright.

Many wilderness sequence [adventurers] and [hunters] praise the North as the most beautiful place in the entire Old Continent, and many legends and stories have been born in the long history.

Not far to the south of Sorenburg, which is built on the mountain, is the famous [Wonder of Civilization·Northern Wall].

In the mythological era, it was the northern border wall of the Silver Empire, used to defend against the barbarians, that is, the ancestors of the main ethnic groups of the current continent.

In the end, barbarism defeated civilization, inherited civilization, and even claimed to be the orthodoxy of the empire.

[Northern Wall] has also completely become a relic and has not been used for many years.

It’s a pity that this beautiful place with pleasant scenery and full of magical legends has now been taken advantage of by the ugly [Devil Duke] Richard York.

Whoosh!

A brilliant rainbow light turned into a long bridge and appeared in the sky above the territory of Prince Sorenburg. The sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly in the void.

Immediately, the rainbow bridge was broken, and two people and a horse who were completely invisible to mortals appeared in the sky, stepping on a breeze as light as nothing.

With the help of the eight-legged Pegasus's [Rainbow Bridge], the brother and sister crossed most of the Kingdom of Hastings in just a few breaths.

Breathing the fresh air unique to their hometown, Byron and Catherine were both relieved:

"No matter how rich and how big the territory is overseas, it is not as good as their hometown.

It's just that the port city of Sorenburg looks much more depressed than last year."

Under the clear moonlight in early August, there were not many sailboats moored in the port, which was obviously different from the last time they met here at the end of last year.

But they soon figured out the reason.

Up to now, the sixth-order demigod-level [Kraken] is still wandering throughout the North Sea.

Punish all "betrayers" according to the killing rules of [The Pied Piper's Shepherd's Pipe].

It lasted for almost a year, and of course it had a huge impact on commercial shipping.

The greater impact was actually on the Kingdom Navy's Channel Fleet. In addition to the First Fleet that had already been annihilated in Anchor Bay, the other fleets in the country also suffered considerable losses during this year.

The second, third, and fourth fleets are the main fleets, the fifth and sixth are the security fleets, and the seventh is the colonial fleet, which is now in Byron's hands.

Except for the Seventh Fleet far overseas, the other fleets are continuously bleeding, with varying degrees of loss of personnel and weapons and equipment.

Today, Edward IV and the Kingmaker Warwick both chose military outsourcing, in addition to being affected by [The Emperor's New Clothes].

It is also based on this reality.

Hattings' own arsenals and shipyards are simply unable to provide them with large-scale civil war military supplies.

Byron nodded in realization:

"The first-level holy relic [Iron Nail of Destruction] is linked together.

The iron nail I threw out last year, starting from inducing water in the gun port to destroy the First Fleet, has still had a profound impact on this country until now.

Cooperate with me and push it step by step into the abyss."

As for Byron himself, although he is a senior "heartache" and "backstab master", he does not have to worry about being attacked by Kraken.

Not to mention that he has signed three "Man-God Covenant", he has already sold his soul to three parties.

He had bad intentions from the beginning. How can he be restrained by faith to take back everything he lost from the hands of the traitor?

"The battle between the Royal Party and the Earl's Party cannot be ended in a short time. In order to avoid being affected in the future, it is better to take advantage of the two sides to get things done first while they are in a mess."

Byron pulled the reins and did not go to the castle led by the prince, but drove the eight-legged Pegasus to an uninhabited island far to the north of the port city.

At the northeast corner of the island, facing the end of the "Third Gyre", stands a towering cliff.

On the top of the cliff, there is a small but elegant tomb made of fine materials.

There is only a lonely name on the white marble tombstone - Hathaway Lancaster.

This is the grave of Byron's mother.

There is also a line of epitaph on the base of the tombstone:

"Byron, don't steal my bear biscuits, please respect the offerings, thank you."

Just looking at the epitaph, the image of a playful, cute, and a little greedy girl naturally comes to mind, making people smile knowingly.

Hathaway died when Byron was just three years old, and the epitaph was also determined by her personally before her death.

The two siblings dismounted and stared at the cemetery that had not been taken care of for a year and was already overgrown with weeds.

They took steps at the same time, without using their supernatural powers, and cleaned up all the weeds that had grown in the past year.

They also placed a plate of butter bear biscuits from Ganquan Palace.

Byron reached out and touched the tombstone facing the sea, which had grown a lot of moss. His eyes were a little absent-minded, and he murmured:

"Mother, my sister and I are back to see you."

In the past, when they accompanied their father to pay tribute every year, they always wondered why the cemetery was chosen in such a remote place.

It was not until Byron met his cousin Salant Tudor that he guessed that this was probably the place where his father and mother Hathaway first met.

Across the sea is her hometown, the kingdom of mermaids, and she wants to look at her hometown from here.

Although after a person dies, only a tomb with a corpse is left, and the soul is not here, it is of great significance to both the living and the dead.

Some people say that a person dies three times.

The first time is when the last breath is taken, and the person is biologically dead.

The second time is when the funeral is held, and the person's social identity is completely erased, and there is no place for him/her in the world of the living.

The third time is when the person is completely forgotten by everyone in the world, and the last trace of him/her in the world is completely dissipated, and finally completely integrated into the collective subconscious sea.

The essence of the promotion system of the extraordinary is the same.

The core is how to exist longer.

The stronger and more profound a person's influence on the human world, the stronger his power will be, and the stronger his anchoring in the collective subconscious of mankind will be.

Until the seventh-level true god, even if he/she has been dead for a thousand years, he/she will be remembered by the world itself, and there is still hope of resurrection.

"For my mother, who is surrounded by so much mystery, most people who have had contact with her can only remember one name.

Now that we know my mother's past, the only one with the strongest anchor chain is actually my father.

As the world enters the 'intertidal zone' and the sea level rises, death stranding accidents are becoming more frequent, and accidents may occur at any time.

The cemeteries of various countries and major cities are very likely to become time bombs.

Especially the areas around the North Sea are the first to be affected. It is best to dig out the bodies that serve as soul anchors in advance and bring them back to the Bantaan Islands for proper placement.

Sister, step back a little."

Catherine stepped back a few steps, and Byron's head glowed slightly. He used skull No. 1 to activate the power of crystal skull No. 2 [Earth Mother Goddess] Mano.

The ground began to shake slightly, and the soil and rocks separated to both sides like flowing water. At the same time, the base rose and sent a crystal clear crystal coffin to them.

Byron immediately looked through the crystal coffin and saw a petite figure lying in it, intact and seemingly just in deep sleep.

Catherine beside her immediately cried out in surprise:

"Is it really a fish tail?"

Even though she had learned the true identity of this adoptive mother from Byron, and had grown up listening to the fairy tale of the Little Mermaid, she was still shocked when she saw her real body with her own eyes.

Indeed, Hathaway's body did not look like a human, but a mermaid.

Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and she looked only about 16 or 17 years old. Her silver hair was scattered on the crystal pillow, and there was a bright red rose in her temples.

Her upper body was a graceful body like a girl, and her lower body was a beautiful silver fish tail.

Her hands were clasped in front of her chest, holding a small blue metal fragment together, emitting a soft blue light in the night.

Driven by the instinct of the [Mithril Dragon], Catherine subconsciously wanted to get closer to see what the shiny thing was, but was pulled by Byron.

At the same time, a phototactic moth in the summer night sky instinctively flew towards the light source. It was frozen on the spot just as it approached within two meters, and fell to the ground and shattered.

"Hiss!"

There was nothing abnormal about Hathaway's body itself, but the shiny metal fragment was abnormal.

The [Logbook] in the right eye swept over and immediately glimpsed the information of this ownerless treasure.

[Level Zero Holy Relic - Trident of the Sea King] (fragment):

"As we all know, water has three phases, solid, liquid, and gas.

The three phases correspond to the three halberd blades of this artifact trident, and each has its own power.

The halberd blade representing liquid can control the waves to cause tsunamis, engulf ships and even islands.

The halberd blade representing gas can allow the holder to change in a thousand ways, and can turn into different marine creatures and dominate other marine creatures.

The halberd blade representing solid can freeze all tangible and intangible things, even conceptual things, and block material changes.

The trident in one encompasses the range of water. , turning the holder into a true sea king.

In this world that has gradually slid into the ‘intertidal zone’ and even the deep sea with the advent of the Snail Age, the [Sea King Trident] is undoubtedly one of the most powerful artifacts.

The conditions for use are also very harsh. In addition to each trident corresponding to a destiny, there is also a prerequisite that one must have the blood of the sea king.

Destiny: This solid halberd blade requires the holder to calm down the shipwreck, stop the tsunami, rescue the drowning, and protect the city. "

When Byron saw this, he immediately understood the reason why the little mermaid and the prince met in the fairy tale.

Mother Hathaway accidentally wandered from the Eastern Continent to the Old Continent along the third gyre belt, and rescued her father Edmund Lancaster who fell into the water. This started a dreamy fairy tale, and also Later Byron was born.

It is precisely because this holy relic can block the power of things to change that Byron did not turn into a mermaid, but was born in human form.

This is a good intention to block the trouble in the Eastern Continent.

Because of this sacred relic, Hathaway's body and the red rose her father put on her head remained unchanged for more than ten years.

He also guessed that the zero-level holy relic in the hands of his cousin [Sea Mage] Salant Tudor was probably the halberd blade representing the gaseous state.

Only in this way can the melee mage who only knows flash magic become a master of transformation.

It's just that the fighting method of transforming into a hidden fish and getting into people's chrysanthemums is really hard to describe.

"I'll give it a try."

Byron assessed the taboos of this treasure and determined that he would not be attacked.

He took two steps forward and soon passed the place where the moth fell and arrived in front of the crystal coffin. Unsurprisingly, he was not injured by the ice.

He reached out and gently brushed away the dirt on the surface of the coffin lid, and saw Hathaway's true appearance with his own eyes, and whispered to her:

"Mom, you don't have to be alone anymore. Come home with me and my sister."

Instead of opening the coffin and taking out the trident fragment, the entire crystal coffin was put into the snakeskin bag for storage of rare items.

The underworld of the Bay people, "Valhalla," has nine floors in total.

The pirate king [Whale Hunter] Jack Harold passed through the nine levels of Hades before he obtained the secret of the prophecy about the revival of the Bay People and set foot on the Echidna Triangle Gyre.

Byron didn't know which layer his mother Hathaway's soul was sleeping on. Looking for it layer by layer was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the body happened to be the anchor of the soul in the real world.

"Mother, as long as I can take a step further, exert more power of the Woden Divine Mask, or recapture the legendary battleship [Bayman Leading Ship Valhalla], I can forcefully pull your soul out of the Hall of Valor.

At that time, you will be free to choose whether to take the [Necronomicon] route, use the [Elixir] to achieve physical resurrection, or become a totem god. "

Byron was not very sad, but rather happy because the boundary between life and death was shrinking little by little, and he was one step closer to being reunited.

He likes to plan everything carefully and calculate the pros and cons before doing something, so as not to put himself in a dilemma.

If possible, he would like to rescue the female members of the Lancaster family, headed by his aunt Queen Margaret, in advance, so as not to be used as hostages by the York party in the future.

But they were all handed over to the church and imprisoned in a closely guarded monastery.

If you want to rescue those aunts and uncles, you still have to rely on friendly people within the church like Sister Teresa and [Holy Hammer] Oliver.

Byron already has a comprehensive plan and believes that there will be results before he launches a counterattack on his homeland.

Afterwards, they restored the tomb to its original state, mounted the eight-legged horse and fell into the sea, and were about to ride back to the Bantaan Islands.

"Huh?"

The two ravens Fujin and Wuni who stayed in Ganquan Palace reported back to them the information they saw.

It turned out that Catherine was still wondering why the queen was doing nothing to interfere with their marriage.

"One King and Two Queens" cannot be made public in a short time. It has not yet been decided which of the two sisters will get married in the Golden Empire and who will get married in the Old Continent.

Now that I heard the Woodwell family's plan clearly, I was immediately furious:

"Marry a widow? Seize the family property? You are looking for death!"

The towering chest rose and fell violently, urging Byron to go back together and secretly make Fries Woodville to teach them a lesson.

Byron quickly put his arms around his sister's slender waist, caressed her chest, and comforted her like a child:

"Sister, calm down, he is just a little person like a fish, why should you pay attention to him?

Frith is Edward IV's [King's Right Hand] and will definitely be on the battlefield when the time comes. We must first wait for him to survive from the hands of Kingmaker Warwick.

Moreover, the succubus Tris has also sneaked into the social scene. In order to complete the promotion ceremony of the fifth level, she is more concerned than us. It is just a matter of saying a word to secretly kill him. You can do it at any time. "

Catherine calmed down a little, turned to look at Byron and said doubtfully:

"You mean to let them fend for themselves? This is not like your style of doing things."

Byron shook his head firmly:

"No, no, no, I mean, there are a total of 12 brothers and sisters in this generation of the Woodville family, spread across the entire kingdom. It would be too troublesome to kill them one by one, and it would be easy to alert the snake.

After catching Elizabeth and Frith's father, Old Woodville, he will send a black witchcraft [Blood Curse].

In this way, we can clean up from the source of the bloodline from top to bottom, so that no one will be let go. "

Hearing this, Catherine couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

I feel that Byron seems to have some inexplicable obsession with the matter of "tidyness". Even if he doesn't do anything else, he must first ensure that everything is tidy. I can't help but observe three seconds of silence for the Woodville family.

If their anchor is not stable enough, they might really be taken away by a wave of blood curse like the Newman family.

Later, when the two of them had just stepped onto the first circulation zone, the information about [Devil Duke] Richard was also sent back.

It finally dawned on them.

"The real mastermind is actually him!"

If it weren't for Byron, Richard would have been able to get away with it easily.

But who made [Secret: Death Stranding under the dispute between the two parties, historical influence 28] stuck at 70% and unable to move forward?

It was just like reading a fragment of a text, it was really unbearable.

Byron got angry and was determined to get to the bottom of it.

And it's not that there are no clues at all, because if you jump out of the case itself where all clues have been erased, and look at this issue from a political perspective.

No matter how incredible it is, whoever benefits the most may be the mastermind!

The Royal Party, the victim who turned out to be a blessing in disguise, immediately came into Byron's sight. There were only a few people in the party who were qualified to participate in the chess game.

As long as you keep a close eye on them, the truth will naturally come out.

Byron doesn't need any reasoning, nor does he need to use the necessary skills of a detective like: "There is only one truth." "Sherlock, what do you think." "Blind student, you found the bright spot."

Just send two ravens to act as eyes and ears, and just put in the eyes and watch openly.

Anyway, no one in the middle sequence can find the existence of ravens.

In addition, he can use the [Logbook] wherever his senses can reach, and no one can refute him calling himself a great detective who does it out of interest.

Originally, I thought it might take a few days or even longer to find clues.

Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the palace, I saw the [Devil Duke] Richard and the devil in the bottle who were in cahoots with each other, and all the doubts were solved in an instant.

"This insidious [Devil Duke] actually hid so deeply.

Completing the fourth-level promotion, facilitating the joining of the neutral faction, and also giving himself a good reputation for being affectionate, it can be said that he killed three birds with one stone. [King Maker] Warwick lost this round without complaint.

Even the biggest helper is an undercover sent by others, how can he win?

But neither the [Devil Duke] nor the [King Maker] probably know that this devil in the bottle is not an ordinary extraordinary person.

And it is likely that he is an outsider who drifted from the Eastern Continent like his mother and Salant, and is far more powerful than refugees like his mother and Salant.

I would never believe that he would sincerely help Richard gain eternal life and the throne.

He must have his own calculations.

The chess game in the Kingdom of Hastings is getting more and more lively."

At the same time, as the decryption was completed, a new entry appeared in the logbook: [Why not eat meat? 】

"It is paired with the previous entry [I don't eat beef], one question and one answer.

Experts say there are many ways to solve poverty.

For example, if you have a private car, you can go to work, then this is a very effective way to solve the problem of low income and employment;

For example, you can rent out an idle house, which is also a way to earn income.

[Why not eat meat] can sacrifice idle entries in exchange for spiritual growth."

Byron touched his chin after reading the introduction:

"Due to the relationship of [Golden Triangle], our vitality, lifespan, and spirituality can flow freely with the two queens.

Especially, spirituality will flow from higher people to lower people.

After I broke through the fourth level, my spirituality was 15.1, and I needed 20 points to reach the fifth level.

But I was rewarded with 0.7 spirituality after completing the decryption, all of which It flowed to Catherine, who currently has the lowest spiritual level among the three of us.

And the 0.7 of the fourth level is different from the 0.7 of the third level. After it came to Catherine, it at least doubled, allowing her to fill the spiritual gap in an instant and reach the threshold of the fourth level.

Only the corresponding ritual is needed to catch up with me and Violet.

In the future, when I encounter some useless terms with this [Why not eat meat], I can convert them into spirituality for the three of us to use together, at least I won’t lose money. "

As a large amount of spirituality was injected into Catherine's body, the girl's face turned slightly red, and she leaned softly in Byron's arms and panted:

"What happened just now? So much spirituality poured in at once, it's too much.

Help. Help me, Byron!"

The one-time improvement was too fast, and there was some indigestion, and she involuntarily transformed into a larger dragon girl form.

Dragon horns grew on her forehead, her eyes turned into dragon pupils, and even a pair of wide dragon wings grew on her smooth back, and a flexible tail behind her hips was wrapped around Byron's waist.

She took the initiative to invite Byron to help her tame the dragon.

Who can refuse such a tempting request for help?

Byron looked at the beautiful girl in his arms, whose breath was as sweet as orchids, and her pleas were as gentle as yellow orioles. Even gods could not resist her charm. He swallowed his saliva and slowly pulled up her skirt.

The next moment.

The two of them had achieved "man-dragon unity" without any hesitation.

At the same time, he activated the basic ability of the knight [riding], and immediately communicated with the eight-legged Pegasus, achieving the state of man-horse unity.

This [eight-legged Pegasus] actually only came from Byron's own power, without self-awareness, and was not the original creature in the myth.

After all, even the true gods were drowned in the flood, so how could these mounts and pets survive by chance?

The Pegasus's mind was like a blank sheet of paper. Apart from instinct, it had no subjective consciousness. Putting on the automatic cruise control was no different from driving a car.

Riding a dragon does not hinder riding a horse at the same time.
