Pirate Kingship

The next day.

Entering the first circulation zone during the day, the fog dissipated a lot, but visibility was still low.

[Weather Intuition] told Byron that it would return to normal around tonight.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The swords collided, sparks flew.

In the hazy fog, two nimble figures leaped like dragons between the tall masts and rigging of the [Golden Deer].

Between the flashing of the cold sword light, the murderous intent was spread, but it was full of elegant and deadly beauty.

One of them was naturally Byron. Although the [White Frost] in his hand did not recite the cutting inscription, it was still a sword that could cut hair.

The other one was not the guardian knight [Iron Wall] Bruch, who was of the same rank as him.

But it was Earl Greenville [Flower of the North] Catherine.

She was wearing a white shirt with flower sleeves, a deerskin belt that showed off her perfect waist and hip curves, and slim-fitting beige cashmere trousers that outlined her explosively tight thighs.

Her slightly curly light golden hair was tied up into a neat ponytail.

With the half-body silver armor and mithril rapier transformed by the [Mithril Hand], she looked cool, beautiful, and heroic.

Adventures on the sea sound thrilling, but if you really get there, looking at the unchanging endless sea in front of you, you will get bored sooner or later.

Inspired by Wyandot's promotion to [Artillery Expert], the crew of the Golden Deer was particularly enthusiastic about practicing.

Whenever they had free time during the voyage, they would ask the pirate officers for advice on Fisher's swordplay, and strive to establish merit so that they could also join the ranks of extraordinary people.

The same was true for Captain Byron.

Strike while the iron is hot, practice swordplay every day, hoping to reach a higher level of the knight's fundamental skill [Swordsmanship Mastery] in a short period of time.

Bruch, who had just disguised himself as Bill, had been defeated by the Countess who was in high spirits and itching to fight.

Whether the [Golden Deer] could get back the upper hand depended on Byron.

Although the Countess's rosy lips were slightly open, her towering chest was heaving, and she was obviously a little out of breath, her lake green eyes were particularly bright.

She said with great satisfaction in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"I haven't seen you for a while. Not only have you walked the extraordinary path quickly and steadily, but your swordsmanship has also improved a lot.

If you can hold on for another ten minutes today, I will agree to the request you made when you were rolling around in my room this morning."

Byron immediately became energetic when he heard this. With her words, his image of sacrifice was not in vain.

"You said that."

Catherine, who was at the other end of the mast, had already stabbed him with a sword.

"Take it! Sooner or later, you will meet Castilians when you go to Bantaan. Now you should adapt in advance and eat my Castilian national martial arts [Supreme Swordsmanship]!"

She habitually used a [Swift Sword].

It sacrifices most of its slashing ability to gain unparalleled attack distance and stabbing speed, and can almost pass through any defensive circle formed by swords.

The most dangerous stabbing, once it hits the torso or head, will penetrate into the internal organs or brain, and cannot be cured unless you seek help from a mid-sequence [doctor] or [priest].

But this weapon is almost completely unseen on the battlefield.

Because the main function of the swift sword is self-defense and dueling.

At the beginning, there were swift swordsmen who didn't believe in evil and thought about showing their skills on the battlefield.

But they soon found that the slender swift swords with only a sharp tip in their hands became waste.

Not to mention piercing the simplest hard leather armor on the enemy, even suicide is impossible.

Once you encounter the Fisher Slash Sword, which is like a machete, it is common to be cut off by a sword.

Of course, swordsmanship has developed to the present, and every swift swordsman who appears on the battlefield is a master.

Every swift sword that can appear on the battlefield must be a masterpiece among masterpieces, and many of them are even rare items.

For example, Catherine and the mithril rapier in her hand.

Swish!

The thrust, which was originally the easiest to dodge, was as fast as a meteor when Catherine used it, making Byron feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

He raised his full energy, turned his wrist to block, and after pushing the sword away from the side, he turned around and slashed diagonally on the narrow mast.

But his footwork, sword moves, and distance seemed to have all become data, falling into Catherine's calculations, making his every attack and defense extremely uncomfortable.

[Mithril Knight] can defeat ten skills with one fortune, and break all methods with one fortune.

Even if their swordsmanship is lousy, it does not hinder their strength.

Moreover, Catherine, who has received one-on-one elite training from a tutor since childhood, has excellent swordsmanship.

She used the [Supreme Art] circulated in the Kingdom of Castile, also known as [Geometric Swordsmanship].

All attacks and defenses are based on the "Maricheski Circle", and every movement, attack and defense follows the designed route.

Fighting against an enemy with this kind of swordplay is not only a competition of courage and skill, but also a math competition that tests intelligence.

[Supreme Art] complements her, a Gold Yuan Sequence Extraordinary who majored in economics and finance and is best at dealing with numbers.

Even though Catherine has never stepped into the next level of [Swordplay Mastery], she can reach the "Flow" state where she can fully exert her potential.

She did this perfectly with her swordplay and amazing calculation power.

Without using the transformation ability of the Mithril Hand, she also suppressed the Fisher Swordplay that Byron could only use publicly.

[Supreme Swordsmanship] undoubtedly deserves its name, and is the undisputed king in the one-on-one duel!

But just as Byron stared at the countdown displayed in the logbook, sweating profusely and struggling to hold on, he suddenly felt the pressure on the other side lighten.

He looked over with some confusion.

Catherine, who was covered in sweat and had a strand of hair stuck to her lips, blinked her bright lake-green eyes at him:

“I have no energy left, let’s call it a draw.

I promised you. "

Byron's heart felt hot, and he knew that what Bruch said was absolutely right. As long as he begged her, his sister Catherine would relent every time.

This woman is a hopeless "brother-supporting demon". She will try her best to meet all her brother's requirements every time, and will also take extra care of his face.

Although creatures like Fu Di Mo are not lovable in most situations.

but

Huh? I'm that younger brother, so that's okay.

Seeing the joy on Byron's face, Catherine kicked his calf angrily:

"Let's make a deal first. Brother Ming will settle the score. All my net worth and even my dowry are here.

If you accidentally lose money, you must be responsible for supporting me for the rest of your life! "

Byron nodded and bowed with a smile and took the new Earldom of Greenville from her hand, the highest management authority of the 264 square kilometers of Tayman Islands.

The same standard earldom, if placed on the Old Continent, would only be about 35 square kilometers.

Relatively speaking, the territory replacement initiated by York is not that ugly.

Byron backhandedly extended an invitation to Catherine:

"Dear sister, how about being the chief financial officer of my Governor's Palace?"

Catherine instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this part-time job process.

But when Byron said: "I really don't trust the financial power without you watching."

He immediately said happily and reservedly:

"Then I'll think about it."

When Byron went on to say, "I'll give you an additional salary, based on hourly wages," his eyes immediately lit up and he happily agreed:

"When will the salary calculation start? I can go to work now."

The moment he agreed, he avoided the side effects of a serious problem in his heart.

Catherine was one year and two months older than Byron.

She is actually only 19 years old. In the eyes of Byron, who has lived an extra life, she is just a very easy-to-coax little girl.

Enjoying her meticulous care, I always feel an inexplicable feeling of guilt.

Looking up at the blue sky, I just want to say one thing at this time: Sister smells so good!

When the two hungry people returned to the captain's cabin after training, Ba Zhi, a part-time cook on the ship, served a squid feast.

"Captain, Earl, please use it slowly."

Squid sashimi, crispy fried squid, sizzling squid, fried squid, squid balls

The high-quality raw materials from the sea monster are made according to Byron's recipes, and they are all delicious and delicious, making people can't help but lick their fingers.

After the battle ended yesterday, Byron drank a glass of [frost margarita] and froze the captured squid tentacles with a breath of frost.

Throw it on the deck and it won't thaw until you reach the tropical Bantayan Islands.

It's just that no one knows whether his saliva was in that mouthful of frost breath.

Anyway, Catherine ate it with relish.

With a cup of [Bloody Mary] that Byron prepared for her that would not age in a year, she ate and drank and talked to Byron:

"When the noble ladies in the fleet hold banquets in the past two days, I will help you promote the title of [Sea Hunter].

As long as the upper management unifies the title, your new title will be fixed.

Also, just leave all your [Bloody Mary] for me to drink, there is no need to give it away.

Didn’t it say that the Bloodthirsty Order was also operating in the Bantaan Islands?

There is no guarantee that in addition to cooperating with the York family, they will also use this thing to take other high-level routes. It is always right for us to be careful. "

[Sea Hunter] is Byron's new title, which is the abbreviation of [Sea Monster Hunter], and he named it himself.

Byron was afraid that others would give him weird names such as squid butcher and master squid remover, so he took the initiative to use Catherine's mouth to guide public opinion.

In terms of legend, only publicity is not enough, but it is absolutely impossible without publicity.

Of course, since he already has a title [Wild Hunt], the new title cannot be tricky when it comes to accumulating legend.

The deeds of the title can only follow the title. Whichever title you use to perform deeds, the legend you obtain will naturally belong to the specific title.

The 20 legendary points required to obtain extraordinary power need to be calculated again.

(0-10) From one person to a village or a town; (10-20) From a city or a place to an entire region.

[Wild Hunt]'s influence is spread all along the North Sea coast, and [Sea Hunter] must at least be known to everyone in the first circulation zone.

This is a long-term goal, and it has to be done in order to separate the two identities.

The advantage is that related title abilities can be merged into a more powerful title in the future, simplifying the complex.

And if he wants to quickly increase his legend and make a name for himself in a new region, Byron must always chase the storm and dance on the edge of the knife.

Security is another issue.

The seven pirate generals all operate independently and are responsible to the kingdom. There is only the Navy Department above them and no specific person in charge.

In a public-to-public situation, there is no such thing as a "confidant".

Unless Byron can offer the copper bottom and iron nails to Edward IV as planned and establish a direct relationship with him.

Otherwise, before that, he doesn't even have a thigh to hold tightly.

After eating and drinking, and sending Catherine back to her own ship, Byron looked at the sea and sighed:

"Alas, my beloved Captain Salman the Bloody Eye and Captain Edward the Red Beard have both died heroically for me, a confidant.

Without a shield, there is no sense of security in this sea full of dangers.

Every time it is late at night, I can't help but miss the voices and smiles of the two captains!"

At this time, he suddenly saw a small boat from the flagship [Support] rowing towards him quickly.

A naval officer holding the fleet commander's flag was waving to him enthusiastically from a distance.

His face was full of the temperament of being a victim that could not be concealed.
