Pirate Kingship

The eastern coast of the Southern Continent's Beast Paradise, which is controlled by various deep-sea families, is covered with dark clouds and surging waves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The huge explosions sounded like thunder that shook the sky and the sea.

People on the whaling ships on land and sea looked up at the low-hanging clouds, but they could only see a long blue rainbow piercing the clouds.

Circles of white explosion rings chased after it, but they could not catch up with the rainbow light.

And the red light did not stop for a moment, as if it was not chasing after the explosion rings it made, but a mad vicious dog.

If the bystander stood on the top of the hill, he could even sense the huge electromagnetic field above his head being released layer by layer, constantly accelerating the long rainbow.

The flying speed was getting faster and faster, coming and going carelessly, from the western horizon to the eastern horizon in the blink of an eye.

The bystander was swept by a circle of invisible power, and couldn't help but feel numb, and his hair bloomed collectively.

Crackling

The long rainbow cut through the sea of ​​clouds and crossed the Beast Paradise all the way until it reached the sea on the east coast, where it exploded and revealed two figures.

Byron held his sister Catherine in a princess hug, panting and sweating profusely. A strand of messy black hair on his forehead was stuck to his sweaty forehead.

The shirt on his back was soaked with cold sweat.

Even the crystal shoe on the right foot of his sister, who should have been carefully protected, was blown away halfway, and was blown to pieces by the gas explosion ring behind her before it fell to the ground.

At this time, the white skirt was flying, revealing a white and tender little foot with a toe painted in bright rose red, which was quickly stuffed into her brother's lapel by Catherine.

It can be seen how anxious Byron was when he fled.

Before Catherine could react, she came from the Fire Ring Mountains of the Sun Empire on the west coast to the Rift Trench on the east coast.

Without asking Byron what happened, she just silently took out a handkerchief with body and rose scent from her bosom and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Byron came to his senses and realized that he was holding his sister's beautiful body, thin waist, long legs, and perfect, plump and thick thighs in his arms, but he didn't take the time to appreciate them carefully.

He took two deep breaths in the sea breeze, letting the divine aura that had exploded to the limit flow back quickly.

Only then did he answer the question of why Atahualpa ran through the legal network that had been connected.

"Huff. Sorry, it's nothing serious. Huff, it's just that my queen Violet is pregnant, and I have to go home quickly to see her."

The queen's pregnancy was just a perfunctory excuse.

Byron was simply worried that [Sun God] Inti, who regarded the Machu Picchu Sky City as his own demigod kingdom, might be like his predecessors, the seventh-order true gods [Sun God] and [Lord of the Four Dimensions of Change] Diwu, and would sink the southern continent again because of a "carelessness"!

"The [Creator] just cracked it lightly, but you guys are so good, you want to explode on the spot!

And not just one, but many."

After [Huashan Heavenly Kingdom] was embedded in the golden triangle in the shape of an eye, Byron's left eye had a part of the ability to predict through the timeline.

The right eye sees through the present, and the left eye predicts the future.

When predicting and deducing various possibilities of the future, [Sun Stone Calendar] does not need to spend historical influence. Only when you enter the virtual timeline and simulate the choice in person will you need to consume influence.

But it is enough to be used as a reference for action.

Just after Atahualpa said a series of confidential inside stories of the Sun God system, Byron automatically presented several timelines of varying thickness in front of his eyes.

There is the ending where [Sun God] Inti successfully breaks through; there is the ending where he is eaten by his descendants, which is further divided into the ending where [Death Dark Sun] triumphs and [Founder of the Nation] triumphs, or the ending where both perish together;

There is also the ending where the restless old gods and their followers secretly make trouble and induce him to fall;

Of course, there is definitely the ending where the entire Sun Empire ends with a "boom" and the Fire Ring Mountains are blown up to the sky

Inti's conditions for creating a big explosion are more convenient than his ancient predecessor. He prepared for the rainy day as early as the beginning of the founding of the country and established the country among the mountains.

The entire Fire Ring Mountains, which brought endless gold and various precious metals to the [Sons of the Sun], are full of active volcanoes formed by the squeezing of the Storm Ocean Plate and the Continental Plate.

I don't know how much energy is accumulated under the earth's crust.

You only need to use a mushroom bomb that is much smaller than the ancient Sun God to create an effect that is completely not inferior to the former.

It triggered a large-scale volcanic eruption, and by the way, it tore a zero-level world crack, and most of the Beast Paradise was completely Barbie Q.

For Byron, the so-called "risk" is the combination or product of the severity of the consequences and the probability of occurrence.

In this world where the law of accidents says: "If something has the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen."

He really didn't dare to bet on when the sun god would have an accident, and how serious the consequences would be.

If you don't run now, when will you run?

He sighed deeply in his heart:

"You don't need any industrial foundation, even in the Stone Age, you can rub mushroom bombs by hand, but there is no corresponding operating standard and knowledge system. This is too dangerous.

Ignorance and arrogance are obstacles to survival.

My eldest daughter has a mass-energy equation that can touch the origin of explosion better than you, but until now she has never really rubbed this most terrifying firework in the world.

My wife is too steady.

However, the saying that 'the sun and the storm are the mortal enemies of the deep sea' has been around for a long time.

Is it possible that part of the reason is that the ancient sun god was too wicked to blow up the world crack, and his followers and all kinds of weird things subconsciously want to stay away from him, so as not to implicate themselves when his ashes are struck by the world itself. "

Of course, these are all jokes that cannot be verified.

The most important thing is that the logbook also revealed a new secret: [The crisis of the sun god Inti, historical influence 61, decryption density 27%].

It shows that the upper echelons of the Sun Empire are really not simple now, and the undercurrent is so turbulent that even a king is like a frightened bird.

"It's just that this matter can't explain the principle to Atahualpa.

Even if he told him the danger of the matter, it would only add troubles and end up being nothing more than worrying about nothing.

Oh, no, now we can't laugh at the Qi people. Archaeological discoveries have found that the Qi Kingdom was really hit by dense meteors in those days, and the Nanluoxing Village and Beiluoxing Village still exist today.

The southern continent was really blown up by the sun god, so it is reasonable to worry about the next time.

The only problem is that I can escape, but Atahualpa, as a king and a descendant of the sun god, can't escape at all. No matter what happens, he can only face it personally. "

Atahuallpa can understand Byron's words. He felt similarly when he had his first child, but he did not finish his words:

"Your Majesty, Lord of Heaven, you don't have to be so anxious even if you have a child, right?

I will prepare more "local specialties" of the Sun Empire for you to take back.

Aya and the others have not had the opportunity to entertain the two of you. They just said that they specially prepared a gold-fishing tour activity in an active volcano.

Organize tourists to jump into the magma to fish for liquid gold and silver, and they can take away all the gold and silver they can fish for.

And I need your help in my fifth-level promotion ceremony."

When Byron and Catherine heard about the "special sightseeing project" of the Son of the Sun, they looked at each other in silence.

This casual way of jumping into the magma to make money is just like sightseeing in vineyards and strawberry gardens. Do you want to hear what you are talking about?

He waved his hands and refused.

Then when he heard that Atahualpa was going to use the "Ponzi scheme" as a ladder to immortality, he couldn't help but sigh at his boldness and decisiveness.

But on second thought, now might be the best time.

The Sun God was facing a crisis and was unable to take care of himself. The subordinate gods led by [Death Dark Sun] and [Founder of the Nation] were caught in internal strife, and Atahualpa himself commanded the heavy armored combined battalion to advance triumphantly and expand the territory.

He now has popularity and power, and no one is in charge of him. It is the time when his royal power is most concentrated, and it is easy to do anything he wants.

Even if he piloted the "Ponzi scheme" nationwide, no one could stop him.

"The Ponzi scheme is also known as: pyramid scheme and multi-level marketing.

Using the money of new investors to pay interest and short-term returns to old investors, in order to create an illusion and defraud more money, commonly known as robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Using the game of passing the parcel to turn other people's money into your own money.

The real winner is only the fraud initiator at the top of the pyramid. "

Stepping onto this immortal ladder that is related to the solar field but obviously different from the ancestors is equivalent to changing jobs from "natural gods" to "personal gods".

It is difficult to say which one is stronger or weaker, as each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Natural gods often represent a certain natural phenomenon. After a thousand or ten thousand years, the upper limit will not change.

The existence of personal gods is completely based on the imagination of intelligent races. The stronger the intelligent race, the deeper the understanding and application of a certain field, and the more personal gods can fly. Rapidly improve strength.

The Byron family [King of the Wild Hunt], [Queen of War], and [Queen of Finance] are all the latter, or composite gods that are mainly "personal gods" and have the powers of "natural gods" and "personal gods".

In contrast, natural gods never have to worry about the extinction of the concepts and rules they anchor. As long as the world exists, natural laws exist.

But if the intelligent race can no longer understand this subjective concept, the personal gods of the corresponding fields and priesthoods will gradually die out, and even if they do not disappear, their powers will be greatly weakened.

For example: Financial power is in the current business world. In the industrial society, you can call the shots, you can do anything, money speaks, truth is silent.

But once humans regress to the primitive age of slash-and-burn farming, and lose the exchange currency and the financial attributes in socialization, the [Queen of Finance] will also plummet in power.

So the main force that hopes that humans can survive the flood in a collective mode is the "personal gods" and those fifth-level legends with equivalent status.

Atahualpa's diversion route is also a good thing for Byron's camp.

So he nodded silently to Catherine.

As the [Queen of Finance], the latter, after the couple and the three of them once again In this "all things return to one" reconciliation, Byron absorbed all of his economic knowledge.

In terms of vision, practical operation, experience, knowledge reserve, and the scale of assets under management, this god of finance is the undisputed number one in the material world!

A little guidance can save Atahualpa many years of detours.

After a little thought, he designed a suitable ascension ceremony according to the immortal ladder he chose.

He took over Byron's communication authority and made suggestions to the young king:

"Your Majesty Atahualpa, you should have learned enough lessons from the failure of the Rat Kingdom.

An annual interest rate of 25% may be able to absorb funds quickly, but the game of drumming and passing flowers obviously does not last long, and it is also very easy to attract the hatred of many people.

This is not how the Leek Cutting Sword Technique works.

[Banker] In most cases, he will not take the initiative to stand at the front desk. It is best for you to execute the plan secretly in order to enjoy the dividends in the long term.

So I suggest you use the 'pyramid scheme' model to issue government bonds. "

Atahualpa chewed the word over and over:

"National debt?"

In traditional financial markets, they are regarded as gilt bonds, synonymous with risk-free bonds.

But we have to decide who is going to play. We are not afraid of not doing good things, but we are afraid that there are not good people.

Catherine’s voice was pleasant to the ear, but her words were like a devil’s whisper:

“Establish your own private Imperial Central Reserve Bank and enact the Imperial Reserve Act to grant it corresponding financial management powers.

You hide yourself behind the scenes, recruit relevant powerful figures to build a huge community of interests, such as the 'Imperial Reserve Committee', and then share the profits with them.

Then use national credit and tax guarantees, agree on a suitable interest rate, and issue national debt to the powerful class, wealthy people, and other city-states and tribes on the continent.

Interest rates and the amount of government bond issuance can be adjusted flexibly on a regular basis to facilitate the implementation of various monetary and fiscal policies.

In this way, the process of continuous gold being added to your account is the process of continuous advancement in your [banker] career. It may not take you a year or two to soar into the sky and become a legend."

Of course, all three of them knew it.

If this thing works well, it will become a national debt. If it does not work well, it will cause chain collapse and a financial bomb. Its destructive power can penetrate into the lives of every ordinary person, and it may be more terrifying than the consequences of mushroom bombs.

Huh?

Why do you feel like the people in Empire of the Sun are born with bombs?

“The most important thing is that you can hide the pyramid scheme in normal state fund-raising, making it more secretive.

If your ancestors want to use you as firewood, you can detonate huge imperial debts at any time.

In other words, the larger the national debt of the Empire of the Sun, the safer you are.”

Catherine did not hide any traps in her words. She made the methods, tools and consequences clear.

Atahualpa's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he scratched his head and ears excitedly.

I found that after the change of [Queen of Finance], not only did I have a very high chance of being promoted to the fifth-level pseudo-god without any danger, but I could even obtain an amulet to counteract those ancestors.

Deposit all the defrauded money into an absolutely safe offshore account on the online financial street. Even if you kill him, you won't be able to get the money back.

If the ancestors dared to eat him, his princess, sisters, and children, they would bring the entire Sun Empire to death together.

This is another "strategic equalizer"!

I couldn’t help but feel grateful to Byron and Catherine:

"Okay, okay, this is good. If professionals are dispatched to maintain it carefully, it won't be a problem to keep this system running for a hundred years.

You must have a share of the money I collect, and I will make sure to give you a satisfactory share ratio after I calculate it. "

In fact, no matter who comes up with or uses this method, it is difficult to say that he is a good person, and it is very easy to affect innocent people on a large scale.

If the situation of the Sun Empire hadn't been too special, they wouldn't have given Atahuallpa such a killer weapon.

Of course, in fact, Catherine didn't even use one percent of her skills.

The tulip financial bubble, the subprime mortgage crisis, the periodic release of banknotes, and bombs.

Atahualpa, who has just taken up his job as a banker, only sees Catherine from the mouth of a well, but when he becomes a professional, he will be able to see the sun and the moon with fireflies.

Byron accepted his tuition generously, but also made a request with a serious face:

“I can send a few absolutely inhuman [bankers] over to help you.

But the requirements are not too high. When you use your skills to cause trouble in the future, just don't tell your master and your master's wife. "

Even if Byron had seen the new secret, solving it would have had considerable historical influence.

But until he has the ability to intervene in the crisis caused by [Sun God] Inti and is not afraid of him suddenly exploding, Byron's true body cannot come to the Sun Empire again.

If possible, he is still willing to win over this natural enemy of the deep sea, who is also his natural ally.

But that would have to wait at least until returning from the Eastern Continent, provided that Inti hadn't exploded by then.

Iris Kingdom, Danfeng Bailu Palace.

Bang!

[Chameleon] Jacqueline helped her mother, Meganila, onto a luxury carriage and closed the door angrily.

Before the carriage started to leave the palace, he couldn't help but complain:

"Mom, that uncle of mine is really too much.

As soon as I got the regency, I couldn't wait to deprive you of your position as colonial governor and replace it with one of my own.

I completely forgot that if it weren’t for the relationship between you and your cousin, most of the colony’s interests would have been taken away by the patronage of the Kingdom of Castile.

This time my grandpa was seriously ill and we were not allowed to visit him.

Is it a concern that you threaten his power? What a villain! "

Magnilla, who was sitting opposite her, also had an unswerving expression on her face. She was obviously having an unpleasant quarrel with her brother, Louis XI.

Her father, [Victorious King] Charles VII, who won the Hundred Years' War and regained his territory, is already seventy years old this year, and is considered a very rare longevity old man.

But the pain finally found him.

Since the beginning of winter last year, his health has been worse than before, and he fell ill and didn't get better in the summer. It is likely that he will not be able to survive until the next winter.

Although Louis XI is still the crown prince, he has begun to act as regent. Since last winter, he has almost completely taken over the royal power and implemented a series of targeted adjustments.

At the beginning, Byron said to the illegitimate daughter of Richard VII, the cousin of his father Prince Thorenberg, and his aunt Meganella:

"The most important thing for a governor is to make money.

If you don't make money and I don't make money, how can Commissioner Philip make money? How can everyone make progress?

You are the youngest daughter. If you take more wool from the old man, he will at most turn a blind eye.

When your brother takes the throne in the future, you won't be able to make money if you want to."

Now it has come true.

Meganella was recalled by Louis XI from the lucrative colony and openly replaced with a male favorite with whom he had an ambiguous relationship.

Now even visiting his sick old father is not allowed.

When they first met, Louis XI did not hide his disgust and aversion to women.

He almost pissed off Jacqueline, who was a wild chameleon and who killed and set fires with her cousin all day.

Jacqueline liked girls, and Louis XI liked handsome boys. The two had no "business" conflicts, but they hated each other.

Byron had recently written several war songs tailored for her and Meganella. Both mother and daughter were only one step away from being a fourth-level hero. Now they might not be unable to fight against the fourth-level heroes with their original songs.

Fortunately, Meganella stopped them and did not cause any trouble.

"Hmph, my cousin's grandmother is the Princess of Iris, and she also has the right to claim the throne of Iris.

Together with my uncle Louis, they are the last two living male descendants of the Valois dynasty of Iris.

Now that the troubled times have come, I think it would be better to give the throne directly to my cousin than to give it to this uncle who likes men and can't have children and wait for the dynasty to die out."

Although Richard VII had 14 legitimate children and three illegitimate daughters including his illegitimate sons, most of them died at a young age.

Louis XI is the only male royal family member with the surname Valois.

And Byron's grandfather [Hammer of Iris] Henry V and his uncle [Mad King] Henry VI were both legitimate kings of Iris for several years.

They can be said to be of good origin.

There are countless marriages between the nobles of Hastings and Iris, and many of them even have titles of two countries at the same time.

So, there is no problem for Byron to be the king of the Iris Kingdom in terms of identity, legal principles, and bloodline.

Moreover, the Iris Kingdom occupies the richest land in the entire continent, with a population of nearly 20 million, and has always been one of the economic centers of the continent.

There is a saying that goes: King Hastings who does not pursue the Iris territory is not a good king. The Hundred Years' War between the two countries is essentially a battle for succession and the throne.

The mother and daughter looked at each other and suddenly felt that there was a lot of potential in this matter, so they lowered their voices:

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

And in the Elysee Palace in another corner of the capital.

A nimble figure sneaked out of the palace while Louis XI went to the Palace of Fontainebleau to summon his confidants to plot to strangle the "Poor Knights" stationed in the Iris Kingdom.

It was the "traitor" who walked with a limp.

If he encountered such a big event in the past, he would definitely join in the fun.

Add a few strokes with "History of the Silver Continent" to make the development of the situation more bizarre and tortuous, and maximize the consumption of the power of the various forces on the continent and the power of the Silver Law.

But now, all his powers and magic skills were suppressed by the split "divine side", and only his own spiritual realm could be used.

As a "traitor", he could only use the power that originally belonged to humans, which was a great irony for him.

But as soon as he opened the "History of the Silver Continent", the "divine side" with a sense of justice couldn't wait to write himself to death.

Only in the matter of not being pricked, the two personalities reached a rare consensus to escape.

The "traitor" looked at the gradually receding Elysee, shuddered again, subconsciously touched his buttocks, and his handsome face was distorted:

"Louis XI! I will definitely get back the humiliation I suffered during this period from you with interest."

Then he turned and disappeared in an alley.

But he didn't notice that a raven had quietly followed him.
