Pirate Kingship

Just for a moment.

The three executioners who fell into the dream have each pushed open the door at the bottom of their own dreams and entered the depths of the dream, that is, the public dream of the Kingdom of Hattings.

Each manifested into a majestic figure wearing a black robe and a golden mask.

Each mask has a number engraved on its forehead: 1, 2, 3.

The kingdom's public dreams are not as chaotic and dangerous as those overseas.

Instead, under the constraints of the [King Power Orb] and the law, criss-crossing colorful three-dimensional corridors were formed.

There are thousands of doors, large and small, distributed in the corridor, with different materials, patterns, decorations and shapes.

Representing different regions, different populations, and different individuals within the kingdom.

Any place that has applied for the "Permit for Creation" or the "Order for Overseas Development" and is protected by the iron law of royal power will have such a gate.

The three of them walked side by side and soon came to an arched door that almost reached the ceiling.

This door seems to be made of obsidian, with gold and silver inlays on the edges, and is engraved with exotic scenes full of Bantaan style.

From time to time, the moisture of sea water could be heard coming from the cracks in the door.

This is the dream door leading to the overseas colonies of Hattings. All the colonies of Hattings covered by the iron law of royal power are behind this door.

Number 1 reached out and pushed open the door, not forgetting to tell his teammates:

"What the gentlemen of the Privy Council think is their own business.

Our only mission is to find out the truth.

Check them one by one according to the list, sneak into their dreams, dig out the most authentic memories, and never let go of any clues.

Those colonial officials were directly appointed by the governor. Compared with the local gentlemen, their lives were worthless if they were demoted one level.

Once you encounter violent resistance to the law, you are allowed to be executed on the spot depending on the circumstances!

Make a quick decision and set off. "

"clear."

The three of them stepped into the door and instantly turned into light and disappeared.

Already looking for the target of his choice, he sneaked into the other party's dream.

The executioner's core professional ability at level three is [Cross Execution Platform], which has a series of auxiliary skills supporting executions, most of which are named after torture instruments:

[Decapitation Knife], [Flaming Cross Sword], [High Cliff Guillotine], [Force Field Iron Maiden].

Among them, the most unexplainable and fantastic execution skill is: execution in dreams.

They can enter the dream world to execute prisoners who have violated the law. Even if a third-level executioner is thousands of miles away from the prisoner, it does not prevent them from killing easily.

The harm caused by the executioner to the prisoner in the dream will also appear in the real world simultaneously.

Once a prisoner is killed in a dream, he will die miserably in the same way as in the dream.

Therefore, although their main body is still thousands of kilometers away in Ganquan Palace, the business scope of the Star Chamber Court covers the entire Hetings Kingdom.

It makes countless middle- and upper-class men feel frightened by this news, fearing that they will suddenly lose their heads when they fall asleep one day.

Colonies have always been the hardest-hit areas. They dug up serious crimes and executed them on the spot.

at the same time.

Inside the warden's office at Port Royal Prison.

Warden Ackerman Cyril, actually one of the Lancastrian Wardens Second Class O'Neill Darren, issued his first warrant after taking office.

“After joint verification by the Port Authority, the Taxation Bureau, and the Maritime Court, it was found that Lawrence not only evaded huge amounts of taxes.

He is also suspected of using his sister's illegitimate child to pretend to be an heir of the Newman family in an attempt to embezzle the Earl's family property, which amounted to a particularly huge amount.

If the evidence is conclusive, he will be imprisoned immediately and hanged three days later. "

Just finished signing.

He suddenly felt dazed and fell into a hazy state between half asleep and half awake.

This office gradually became a little unreal and unreal.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a knock on the door, and O'Neal, who was in an abnormal state, invited without hesitation:

"Please come in."

Saying a word is like opening the door to a thief.

His consciousness and the entire room fell completely into a dream, and he received an uninvited guest wearing a black robe and a golden mask.

The number on the forehead is three.

The [Executioner] from the Star Chamber Court swaggered into O'Neill's subconscious and glanced down at the paperwork on the table.

The moment he stared at it, those few lines of handwriting began to expand on their own, with pictures and texts, quickly presenting the cause and effect of the entire incident in front of him.

This is the horror of subconscious torture in dreams.

Without corresponding rigorous training, he would not be able to control the dispersion of information in his subconscious mind, which would allow the executioner in his dream to easily read all the memories in his mind.

You can even use the [King Power Orb] to enter the deep subconscious and check the target's past dark history to determine whether he is loyal or a wolf-hearted person.

"Tsk, tsk, the family affairs of the great nobles are really bloody.

In my impression, few people can withstand the temptation of officials to divide their property.

Especially since the governor is dead, it is indeed very difficult for all the people in power in Port Royal to work together to safeguard the rights of the Newman orphans.

Jefferson died a bit stupidly, but his vision in selecting people was very good.

The sea hunter is like this, and so are these officials, yes, yes. "

Seeing the case in front of him, Execution Officer No. 3 inadvertently felt a little more favorable towards the targets of this mission.

Dragging a chair and sitting opposite the "Warden", he took out a pen and paper and nodded to him:

"But routine matters still need to be done.

Don't waste each other's time, I'll ask you questions, first question, name?"

"Warden" O'Neill Darren's eyes were empty, as if he had completely lost himself, but he said a name without hesitation:

"Ackerman Cyril."

That was the warden's real name.

Executioner No. 3 did not notice anything wrong, but continued to ask questions:

"Where were you when the Governor was assassinated? Tell me anything unusual in your memory without hiding anything."

The warden continued to "tell everything he knew":

"I was sleeping at home in the early morning and was awakened by the alarm bell.

Because I learned that coral disease was raging in the port, I was worried about being infected and hesitated for a while.

By the time I mustered up the courage to rush over, the Sea Hunter had already led the fleet back to support and led the Guards to suppress the coral people in the naval port.

I confess, I am ashamed of my cowardice.

If there was anything unusual, it was when I heard someone shouting: 'By the order of the Earl of Warwick, the Newman family will be punished by heaven', and I realized that the bandits' target was the Governor's family.

I only found out later that when I heard the shouting, the Governor had been assassinated."

"Very good, next question."

Asking questions one by one, except for a few details, it was no different from the report submitted by the colony.

The executioner was also very satisfied with the smooth progress of his mission, and hoped that the cases and mission targets he encountered in the future would be as "consistent inside and out" as the warden.

Ten minutes later, No. 3 stared into his eyes and asked the last question solemnly:

"So Mr. Ackerman, who do you think is the best candidate for the next governor?"

The warden's answer was as straightforward as ever:

"The best candidate is of course the pirate general [Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor.

To be honest, I also want the position of governor, and I would be honored if Your Majesty could appoint me as governor.

But if I were asked to choose the most suitable candidate who best suits the interests of the kingdom, it would definitely be him.

Although in my opinion this person is a bit foolishly loyal, I will never be a person like him.

But I have to say that if there is such a simple person who is willing to sacrifice himself for the collective interest as a guardian, it is really...too safe."

In his subconscious, the image of the Sea Hunter also emerged, which was the most impressive "three parts of anger, three parts of anxiety, three parts of self-blame, and the last part of regret".

Let No. 3 understand the true side of [Sea Hunter] from the side.

The executioner stood up, put away the inquiry record, and was pleased with the smooth progress of his mission. He smiled and shook hands with the warden:

"Mr. Ackerman, the verification ends here. I wish you a happy lunch break."

After that, he pushed the door open and left.

The illusion in the room also faded away. After a while, the warden blinked his eyes, and the emptiness in his eyes disappeared. He looked at the door and suddenly grinned:

"Your Highness is right. It is indeed the Star Chamber Court that came.

After this institution was occupied by the York family, it is still the same old thing. There is no novelty or surprise."

Obviously, he has retained his self-awareness from beginning to end and was not controlled by the other party's [Dream Execution].

When the Lancaster Party was in power, the place where this warden O'Neill Darren worked was the Star Chamber Court.

Since his grandfather's generation, he has worked in the court prison, which can be called three generations of prison people.

He was ten times more familiar with the various methods of the Star Chamber Court than the guys who had occupied the magpie's nest for less than a year.

During his service, he had regular anti-torture training.

They also signed the "Pirate Ten Commandments" of the Golden Hind and obtained the protection of Byron's "outlaw".

Even the power that originally belonged to the original body was transferred to them by selling official positions with the help of the "Faustian Contract".

It was not difficult to deal with this review that Byron had expected.

At best, it was just a lucid dream.

Even the most daring Yorkists only inferred that the Lancaster Party and the Earl Party had a tacit understanding of cooperation.

Unexpectedly, they were so bold and powerful that they borrowed corpses to revive and turned Royal Port back into their nest.

At the same time,

"Sea Hunter."

"Byron Tudor."

"Although I am a little reluctant, there should be no other person who can unite all the forces in the colony except Sea Hunter."

"."

More than 70% of the three executioners' subjects, whether they were colonial officials, naval officers, wild supernatural beings or civilians in the port, voted for Sea Hunter.

Even if there were a few unwilling competitors who had secretly joined the earl's party, they were not a concern at all.

The Sea Hunter's advantage was overwhelming!

The executioner also pieced together the complete image of Sea Hunter through the real memories in everyone's mind.

Loyal and reliable; excellent ability; loved by all parties; built an international port from scratch; created a privateering fleet with outstanding personality charm; had a wide network of friends.

All the review standards issued by the Speaker of the Privy Council met.

It was tailor-made for him.

Standing in the deep dream, looking at the last subject of their trip, they saw a series of illusory anchor chains extending from all over the Royal Port.

It made his temporary office bright.

It represented the will of the people and the wishes of countless people!

[Silver Law] and [Iron Law of Kingship] rely on the collective subconsciousness of mankind. The human heart is the power. The reason why the church cracked down on pagans is precisely because of this.

Even though most believers are grateful to the [Creator], Byron only got a small half of the profit.

But once he obtains the authority of the governor and legitimately calls on the power of the law, the power he can exert will definitely exceed that of his predecessor.

Although the review results have not been reported to the Privy Council, the three executioners who have seen what it means to be popular have made a judgment in advance:

"Others have no chance.

Even if the Privy Council goes against public opinion and parachutes a governor with outstanding ability, he will not be able to reach the level of Sea Hunter in a short time, which will be of no benefit or harm to the struggle for the right to protect religion.

It will also increase the internal friction of the royal party for nothing.

Your Majesty will never agree to do this.

It just so happens that the Privy Council is ready to provide high positions and generous salaries to the contenders for the "right to protect religion". This time, it is better to go with the flow and use the position of governor to bribe this big pirate who has climbed up from the bottom.

In the next few decades, using privateers to continue bleeding Castile will be the kingdom's unshakable national policy, and this pirate governor is an expert."

Finally, they opened their spiritual vision in the dream and took a deep look at Byron's subconscious mind, which was as brilliant as a saint.

"Always loyal!"

"Your Majesty is loyal!"

"If loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal!"

"Hard work, nothing can be overcome"

So dazzling!

That was a heart as precious as gold, which had been proven by his superiors one by one.

He was the confidant of every superior, and he also repaid the trust of the other party with pure loyalty.

There is no doubt that he is a loyal minister.

If only the Earl of Warwick could be like him.

"Redbeard Edward, Major General Elsie Newman, Governor Jefferson Newman, well, the others are fine, but it's a bit bad that they are all gone.

Forget it, how can these people be compared with the divinely granted kingship, the wise and powerful Majesty? It's just a small matter."

They didn't take the small matter to heart.

The three of them signed their names on the review report, and the final rating was A+, and the review passed!

Behind them, Byron looked at the three new doors that appeared out of thin air in his financial street due to spiritual interaction, and smiled brightly:

"I was worried that the sleeping god who 'wait for you to dream' would be difficult to deal with. If Violet accidentally enters it again next time, I may not be able to help.

Star Chamber Court, you came at the right time."

Others were still struggling with the governor's affiliation, but he had already taken one step, calculated three steps, and planned ten steps, thinking about how to lure his father into the old god's mansion.
