Pirate Kingship
Chapter 471: Bagasse Papermaking, Headless Knights (7400)
"If you don't go out for the morning glow, the sunset will travel a thousand miles" is obviously not accurate in the Bantaan Islands.
The brilliant red sunset yesterday evening was as bright and moving as my sister's cheeks, but it started raining heavily the next morning.
In Violet's bedroom, listening to the sound of rain outside the window, Byron, who had worked hard all night yesterday, was too lazy to get up.
What's more, he was "sealed" on the big bed by his two sisters.
In the left arm, shimmering silver threads were scattered between the white pillows. Violet was like a silver moon descending into the world;
In the right arm, the sun-like messy blond hair is also the same. Catherine is like a bright and passionate sun.
The same is the delicate sleeping face with a hint of intoxicating pink on the cheeks, as well as the faint kiss marks and suction cup marks that extend from the smooth shoulders and delicate collarbone to the underside of the quilt.
Byron sighed in his heart:
"I have personally experienced what is meant by 'the spring night is short and the sun rises high, and the king will not go to court early from now on'.
Faced with this kind of battle every day, I have no intention of becoming a dissolute and immoral king from now on. I am really a royal model of firm will.
Kudos to myself! "
And thanks to his monster-like physique, the girls weighed about as much as goose feathers to him.
Unlike those men who longed for a life as a couple but were beaten head-on by reality, neither of his arms were numb.
I kissed the cherry-colored lips of the sister on the left, and then kissed the rose-red lips of the sister on the right. I pursed my lips and thought about it for a while, and then kissed each other again.
"Morning, Byron, Catherine."
"Morning, Byron, Violet."
Only then did the two sleeping beauties open their beautiful, shy eyes.
Apparently the two of them had woken up long ago, but recalling the madness of the three of them last night, even Violet, who had always been very courageous, felt a little embarrassed.
Byron said with a smile:
"The eldest lady's technique of shooting with her feet is really excellent. My sister's attitude as a rope artist assistant is also very correct. I am very satisfied. Keep up the good work and wait for us next Sunday."
Before he could finish speaking, two small hands each pinched the soft flesh around his waist and twisted it hard.
"hiss--!"
Byron suddenly gasped.
Doing something is one thing, saying it is another thing. He was excited for a moment, and was immediately taught a lesson by the two girls who shared the same hatred.
Not to be outdone, Byron immediately fought back. Two tentacles rolled up the ankles of the two sisters, tickling their moonlight-white soles like feathers.
"Kekehahaha stop"
"Bad guy, you still dare to bully others. You will die."
While the three of them were having fun, the thin silk quilt on their bodies slipped off, revealing the beautiful upper bodies of the two girls, as well as large areas of white skin, which immediately brightened the whole room.
But no one paid attention to it. Anyway, they had already seen everything last night. They immediately pounced on the opponent again, insisting on deciding the winner.
In the early morning, the gun inevitably went off, and the two girls were thrown onto the bed by Byron, the only mythical creature in the family, and they were stacked up and arranged clearly.
After "dense clouds and rain", "three poles above the sun" and "noon".
The two girls got up lazily after getting a lot of nourishment from the panacea [Prince of Night Demon], but their bodies were still a little limp.
The panacea is always available, and no matter how hard Byron suffers, he can't starve his two sisters.
However, their digestion capacity is limited and their replenishment speed is not that fast. Perhaps there will be an exponential improvement when Catherine and Violet are also promoted to mythical creatures.
Wow.
Violet summoned a water balloon with just the right temperature. Byron held the two sisters in one hand and helped them wash up and change into the intimate clothes that Catherine had customized.
Then he called the head maid Shirley to take a few all-purpose maids to help the two girls dress up.
Catherine allowed the maids to comb her long hair, show off her dresses and accessories, and did not forget to check her schedule for this afternoon.
"Byron, the preparations for the bagasse paper mill have been in preparation for a long time. I will check it again this afternoon and try to cut the ribbon and start construction within this week (Chapter 350).
The demand gap for paper in both the Bantaan Islands and the Old World is huge. This is a blue ocean that no one can step into.
Whether your title of saint can be promoted to 'Holy Spirit Reincarnation' depends entirely on the effect of this improved process. "
After all, Fu Di Mo is still Fu Di Mo. Although she was "bullied" miserably, what concerned her most after entering work was Byron's industrial plan.
"Is it landing so fast? I thought it would have to wait until at least the end of the year."
Byron was a little ashamed. After making the request, he basically never followed her again. It was always his sister who arranged it.
Catherine rolled her eyes at him charmingly:
"This is all thanks to your fanatical believer, the Great Shaman of Sihuatl who was the first to be promoted to the fourth-level mythical creature [Mountain Demonic Bear].
As long as it is an infrastructure project, we can do anything quickly now.
And we have plenty of space. We don’t need to enclose land, argue about demolition, or balance interest groups. We can start construction the next day as long as we say it is built.
I think sooner or later, the Golden Empire will be able to build a unique full-industry chain industrial system in the world and compete with the entire world. "
Nowadays, a newspaper published by the "Lighthouse Federation" sells for five copper furs, which can buy five standard furs of bread. It is not something that the common people can afford. They are not illiterate in the first place.
After a long period of cultural blockade during the dark millennium, the literacy rate across the continent is actually less than 5%, and one-third of them are still clergy of the church.
At present, the papermaking technology in the countries on the east coast is still very backward. The mainstream papermaking technology uses rags and hemp fiber as raw materials, and the glue used in the gluing process is glue extracted from sheep's hooves, deer legs, bones and animal skins.
Even if paper is imported from the West Coast, the price remains high, and there is even a large amount of expensive parchment on the market.
As we all know, humans are not extraordinary species and do not have inherited memories. It takes at least ten years of learning to be competent in social division of labor.
Without widespread and easily accessible written carriers, there would be absolutely no possibility of the popularization of knowledge, the explosion of science and technology, and the explosion of industrial workers.
The serious lack of paper has also resulted in many people with extraordinary talents not receiving corresponding grammar, arithmetic education and extraordinary knowledge, making it difficult to achieve career advancement.
It can be said that now, just after the dark millennium when the church blocked knowledge and suppressed scholars, the demand for knowledge and books from all walks of life is unlimited.
The Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trading Company had already begun inspecting sugar cane plantations and sugar mills under Byron's instructions, and purchased large quantities of sugar cane bagasse to prepare for industrial papermaking.
Countless sugar cane plantations and sugar workshops are scattered across the colonies of various countries in the Bantaan Islands.
Sugarcane bagasse is a waste material after sugar extraction, and it has always been useless garbage for sugar factories.
Using this material as raw material to make paper may have a lower quality than normal paper, but the key is that it is cheap.
It’s even cheap enough that napkins and toilet paper can be mass-produced for use by the middle and upper classes.
Coupled with overseas spice resources, it shouldn't be a big problem to double the number of extraordinary beings in the Old Continent.
Once Pioneer Navigation Company accomplished this big thing under Byron's leadership.
There is no need for the recognition of the church and the pope, and the [Silver Law] itself must personally give him a lofty title that is far beyond "saint".
At the same time, the large number of artists in Feilengcui, the extraordinary people who were able to change their destiny due to the spread of paper, the scholars in the tower sequence, and the administrative agencies of various countries and other beneficiaries must also remember his memory. benefit.
With the [First Stock] in hand, Byron's hammer was equivalent to buying a stake in the entire human civilization.
You can pat your chest and shout:
"If God had not given birth to me, Saint Byron, civilization would have been like a long night."
It is foreseeable that another wave of wealth and spirituality are on the way.
Just a sacred relic that is bound to be extraordinary is worth looking forward to. The effect will at least be no worse than the special effect of the [Civilized Salary Picker] from the Empire of the Sun.
On the other side, Violet is currently positioned as the chief engineer and does not need to maintain the majestic image of the countess like Catherine.
She just asked the maid to tie a neat ponytail and change into a simple light blue lady's skirt. She asked Byron to help her put on the high heels and jumped out of the bed.
"I'm going to get busy too. The bolt-action rifle has just been developed and industrialization will take some time.
The earlier we finish, the better our chances of winning will be. "
With the birth of the bolt-action rifle Witch Type 1472, Violet's combat effectiveness has been upgraded again. In terms of frontal destructive power alone, she has already surpassed Byron.
In the future, we will organize the establishment of an assembly line for bolt-action rifles, and strive to arm our own privateering fleet by October.
This is the current top priority for the Lancastrian party.
Fortunately, the earl party and the royal party have already begun to place additional orders.
At the same time that the real money was entered into the account, the instructions of the three people were also implemented immediately.
Referring to the standard configuration when the "Army Red Deer" and "Navy Red Deer" are hostile to each other, the Army screws are turned to the left and the Navy screws are turned to the right. The barrel caliber is one millimeter different, and the artillery caliber is also the same standard.
After the Count Party and the Royal Party finish fighting the civil war, the money spent will be enough for them to complete industrial upgrading and eliminate backward production capacity.
After Violet kissed Byron goodbye, she didn't favor one or the other, and naturally kissed Catherine next to her.
The little witch smiled like a cute little squirrel who had stolen pine nuts:
"It's so sweet, that's what it tastes like, I just said last night wasn't an illusion.
Let's go now. See you tonight, okay? "
The four pillars of life, they have been through the "window" together, shouldered the "gun" together, shared the stolen goods together, and been women together. Well, the two of them have done it all together.
Obviously, after experiencing the baptism of the four pillars of life, the relationship between the two girls has become closer. They have a harmonious family and a happy life, which is gratifying.
Soon the two career-oriented women returned to their respective careers.
Before leaving, they all blinked at Byron in unison, as if after opening the door to the new world, they had some taste and would continue tomorrow.
Byron was happy but a little worried when he saw such enterprising sisters.
I am quite comfortable now, but in the future, if the fourth-level mythical creature [War Witch] and the youthful [Mithril Dragon] join forces to suppress it, will the word "wood" become the word "tai"?
There seemed to be a voice shouting in my ears: "As long as you work hard enough, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle."
"No, I have to work harder."
Shaking his head, the leisurely mood that had been relaxed for a long time immediately disappeared, and a string in his mind became tense again.
He was carrying more and more things, and it was still very early before he could lie down and enjoy life.
First, he placed his mother Hathaway's crystal coffin in the underground palace under the Great Pyramid of Tayapan.
This city can barely be regarded as the divine domain of the [Lord of Heaven]. It has the strongest stability for the undead. At least there will be no death stranding accidents here in the short term.
Then he opened the [Huashan Heaven] in his mind and released the female souls whose corpses were separated in six ways.
It was Anne Neville and her five sisters who were previously controlled by the Headless Horseman of the Cursed Spirit in Ganquan Palace, and eventually chopped off their own heads.
It was also the direct trigger for the neutral faction to completely switch to the royal party and merge with the earl party.
Absolutely a rare find!
After the six girls left the Huashan Heavenly Kingdom where their souls rested, their eyes were a little dazed, as if they had not yet come back to their senses.
Obviously the scene before death had a great impact on them.
Byron waited for a while but saw no response from them. He cleared his throat and suddenly shouted in their ears:
"No, the Headless Horseman is here again!"
The souls of the six girls suddenly trembled violently.
Subconsciously, he turned around and wanted to escape, but he forgot the fact that his body had been separated.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Six beautiful heads fell to the ground on the spot, and their headless bodies were scurrying around like headless flies, but they were quickly tripped over because of the lack of coordination between the senses of the head and body.
"Ouch!" The painful cries of "Ouch!" were heard endlessly.
They were in a state of confusion for a while, but they didn't wait until the [Headless Horseman] came to kill them, and then they realized that they had been deceived.
"Where is the Headless Horseman?"
"Who is lying about military information?"
"It's so wicked, it scared my head off!"
At this time, Byron took out a huge floor-length mirror and placed it in front of them, and lit a whale oil lamp for lighting.
"ah--!"
After the six girls saw each other's appearance clearly, they suddenly started to scream together.
There may not be a "headless horseman" here, but there are headless ghosts, and there are six of them!
After this scare, they finally came to their senses completely and remembered the fact that they had now died and become undead.
"Are you St. Byron, Lord of Stromgarde?
Are you dead too? Where is this, Hades? "
Anne Neville, the strongest, took the lead in adapting to the undead body. She picked up the head on the ground and put it on her neck again. When she raised her head, she finally saw Byron clearly.
But their memories still linger on the moment they were killed, and they don't know what happened next.
Byron stretched out a finger and waved it, corrected her with a smile:
“Wrong, this is not Hades, but my territory, the city-state of Tayapan in Yucatan.
If I hadn’t taken action, you would all have turned into evil spirits [homeless people].”
Then he shared with them the current situation of the civil war in the country and the intelligence collected.
Especially the mastermind behind the scenes, [Devil Duke] Richard, used them to provoke confrontation between multiple parties, and ultimately killed three birds with one stone in a conspiracy.
After listening carefully, a group of girls suddenly became furious.
Everything turned out to be because of that insidious and ugly man who was still mocking before his death. He not only killed them, but also dragged their families into the war.
At this moment, he wanted to tear the culprit into pieces.
Especially Anne, the only daughter of Thomas Neville, the Marquess, clenched her fists and said bitterly:
"Damn the York royal family, I want to inform my father and let him stab the royal family in the back!
Let them dog eat dog. "
Subconsciously speaking what was in his heart, he suddenly realized that "York's most loyal minister" was standing in front of him. He couldn't help but take a step back and looked at Byron warily:
"Why do you, a die-hard royalist, tell us this? What is your purpose?"
Byron smiled again and corrected:
"Wrong again, I am not a Yorkist, let alone a royalist, but a Lancastrian!"
As he spoke, the constant cognitive modification on his body was released, revealing Byron Lancaster's true face.
The six girls were all descendants of great nobles, and of course they had all seen Byron before. They were dumbfounded and exclaimed:
"How is it possible? The last Lancaster? It could be you?!"
Byron saw that there was still some vigilance in their eyes. Knowing that this "great loyal minister" was actually a "great rebel" unexpectedly unfolded was a bit too shocking and made them unbelievable.
So he cleared his throat again, opened his arms and sang in a poet-like aria:
"Ah, Anne, my love, she is like a red rose that blooms in the wind in June; ah, my love is like a sweet tune, played in time and harmony.
My dear, I will always love you, even if the sea dries up and the water runs out, and the sun burns the rocks to dust. Dear Annie, I love you forever.”
The other five girls were a little confused and wondered why the obsessed guy in front of them suddenly read love poems to Anne and was so disgusting.
Only Anne Neville's pale face suddenly turned red, and she waved her hands helplessly:
"Don't read it, Byron, I believe you are."
Because this was one of the many love letters Edward wrote to her.
Being read a love letter on the spot is definitely the most social part of the student life, bar none.
And even the most powerful [psychic] cannot extract such an emotional and unpopular memory word for word.
Coupled with this occasional unreliable behavior, the person in front of him is definitely Edward's cousin who often acts as a messenger!
After confirming his identity, Anne led a group of sisters to salute Byron, the only living Lancaster and the only heir, and said:
"Your Highness."
Anne couldn't help but sigh that if it weren't for the accident, they would probably have been a family by now.
I didn't expect that they would meet again in this way in the end.
Byron returned the greeting and clapped his hands:
"Okay, we are all family, I won't waste my words.
My Crystal Skull No. 13 [Suicide Goddess] keeps you suicidal people in a state between life and death.
Now I give you two choices to decide your future path.
One is that I will help you cultivate a new body, and you can come back to life as long as you attach to it, and go back to your original path of [Punishment Knight]."
Annie looked at her sisters, bit her pale lips and asked:
"Can we take revenge on that ugly guy with this?"
Byron shook his head:
"Although I don't want to discourage your enthusiasm, [Devil Duke] is already a fourth-level banker and devil.
Even if you train [Punishment Knight] to the top, you probably can't beat him.
At most, you have the chance to throw a dagger at him from 800 meters away."
The girls, who were filled with the desire for revenge, immediately shook their heads:
"No choice, no choice."
Byron then He took out a large book with the cover of "The Book of the Dead" from his pocket, and said as he flipped through the pages:
"Another option is to take the route of taboo knowledge part-time, and walk on two legs like the Devil Duke.
The [Book of the Dead] from the edge of the world can provide you with hundreds of options.
For example, the [Vampire Banshee] who is good at illusion and feeds on blood?"
The girls still had the same question:
"Can we take revenge on that ugly monster by learning this?"
"No."
Immediately shook their heads together:
"No, no."
Byron continued to flip the pages:
"What about the [Stitched Corpse] that can replace organs anywhere on the battlefield even if the body is broken?"
"The [Mummy] that can raise countless scarabs in the body and spray them out from the orifices at critical moments to kill all around?"
"The [Swelling Woman] that can control sewage and has a swollen body containing highly toxic substances?"
The group of girls' faces became greener and greener, their eyes became bigger, and their heads became more and more crooked.
"No, no."
Come to think of it, it's tragic enough to turn a group of pretty and lovely girls into undead creatures.
If they turn into ugly monsters, it would be abhorrent.
What is tragedy? Tragedy is to destroy beautiful things for people to see.
Even Byron couldn't bear it.
He was more worried that his cousin would come to fight him with a gorgeous and rotten corpse in his arms in the future.
When it was almost dark, Byron read out a path that finally made their eyes light up:
"The headless knight, one of the most powerful mythical creatures on the edge of the world!
It fits your original [Punishment Knight] route the most, and you can cooperate with each other to produce an effect of one plus one greater than two."
"That's it, let's learn it!"
The girls picked up their heads that had been shaken off.
And they were swift and resolute, and they started the transformation immediately.
The requirements for the first blood sublimation ceremony were very simple, that is, to commit suicide by beheading.
Even a little skin cannot be attached. If you are called "someone who almost lost his head", you will never be qualified to become a headless knight.
But it is easy to commit suicide by cutting your neck, but it is no less difficult to cut off your head than to die by suicide by being shot eight times.
It happened that [Cursed Spirit·Headless Knight] helped them do this, and then they only needed to hold a simple ceremony.
However, as a materialized undead creature, [Headless Knight] still needs his own body and mount.
Byron used his secret magic to transform the [Blood River] of creatures at will, and cloned a strong body for each of them, as well as the best warhorse.
From then on, they were like Bruch and others, equivalent to Byron's family, and there would be no possibility of defection in the middle of the journey.
After all, this was the fiancée of his cousin Edward, not his fiancée. When doing such a big thing as rebellion, the final insurance measures must be taken.
Of course, Anne was her sister-in-law after all, and she withdrew after starting the ritual witchcraft, allowing the rapidly developing new body to mature on its own.
Half an hour later, the ceremony ended, and Byron successfully gained a female "Headless Knights".
The reappearing girls looked very different.
Holding a long-handled battle axe, wearing a close-fitting black knight armor, outlining the beautiful female figure, riding on a skeleton warhorse, each of them was heroic.
The warhorse's chest was not hung with a bell, but a cage, where you can put your head as a decoration when needed, and intimidate the enemy.
Anne drove the horse to Byron, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and said:
"Your Highness, it is said that Saint Byron sank the Blue Dragon King for the second time in the southern continent.
But since Saint Byron is your disguise, then is Edward, who was swallowed into the Kraken's stomach, also...?"
Byron smiled at her and nodded, beckoning and leading a group of fresh headless horsemen to the river outside the city.
Snap!
With a snap of his fingers, he was connected to Edward at the edge of the world through the [Golden Law].
A ghostly figure soon appeared on the water.
Wearing the robe of a [Law Master], his face was pale, and a pair of blue eyes that were exactly the same as Byron's were flashing with faint will-o'-the-wisps.
In his hand he also carried a whale oil lantern burning with will-o'-the-wisp fire.
It was Edward Lancaster who had long been transformed into a [Lich].
He obviously didn't notice that there were others following Byron, and he said carelessly:
"What does Byron want from me? I'm still busy expanding our Undead Palu Farm and building my own Ice Throne.
Don't tell me, the name you changed later sounds pleasant to my ears. It's as if this word was tailor-made for our career.
As soon as the undead heard this word, their whole bodies were filled with power.
By the way, the big-breasted vampire succubus I promised to give you after I escaped from the belly of the old god is already on the way (Chapter 320).
The water levels at the edge of the world have been rising recently, causing a lot of trouble.
The slave hunter I sent out...well, it was the Human Resources Department. They had just destroyed a vampire succubus' nest and recruited more than a hundred people, old and young.
When the time comes, I will choose carefully and choose the one with the biggest breasts. One for you and one for me. One for you and one for me.
The vampire banshee is best at illusions, and she can do anything she wants.
Don’t worry, brother, I will never forget you if something good happens, Jie Jie Jie.”
As he was talking, he found that Byron kept blinking at him, and he couldn't help but wonder:
"What's wrong? Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
At this time, an extremely familiar and gentle voice came into his ears:
"Edward, you are living a very happy life.
Vampire succubus? Big breasts? What kind of things does she have?
So does she have someone like me? "
Edward's body suddenly stiffened, and he turned his head with great difficulty, and finally saw his fiancée, who was quite haggard and looked as pale as himself.
Regardless of why Annie, who was supposed to be in her hometown, appeared here, she quickly covered her face:
"No, no, you're wrong, it's not me, I'm not Edward."
Just as he was about to turn around and run away, he heard a faint voice coming from behind him:
"If you dare to run away, don't come back again."
His steps immediately stopped and he swallowed hard, not feeling as high-spirited as he had just determined to become the Lich King.
After hesitating for a moment, he still used the [World's Edge Pass] to open the passage between the two realms, threw himself at his fiancée's feet, hugged her slender thighs and begged for mercy:
"Annie, listen to my explanation. I didn't want to do this either. This was all instigated by Byron!"
Full of desire for survival, he sold his brother at the speed of light. In order to enhance his persuasion, he even shook his head vigorously.
Unexpectedly, it just shook twice.
Boom!
Another head fell to the ground.
Edward subconsciously reached out to catch it, looked into his fiancée's eyes, and said with dull eyes:
"Uh, there really isn't such a thing as a banshee."
