Pirate Kingship

When Byron used the body of [Eagle Eye] James to discuss with [Naturalist] Charles the establishment of a natural science research project and the future planning of this "Sparrow Islands".

Prince Atahualpa had long forgotten the slight anomaly he had just noticed here.

It was not his duty to retrieve the [Sun Crown] in the first place.

After introducing themselves to Byron, a "fellow race", he warmly invited them to visit the hot spring city of Cajamarca, the capital of Suyo, Kipchak:

“Your Majesty, Lord of Heaven, entertaining you on this desolate ocean of storms is not the way of hospitality for our Sun Empire.

You have come all the way from the north of the circulation belt. How about you come to my territory and stay for a few days?

I am very curious about what the northern part of the circulation belt recorded in ancient books looks like. What is the situation of your fellow tribesmen?

And where did those white-skinned barbarians who seemed to only think about burning, killing and looting come from?

If it is convenient, please be sure to resolve this doubt for me and the upper-class nobles of the Sun Empire. "

Atahualpa took the initiative to invite Byron and the crew of the Golden Hart to his home, which is not to say that he had not learned a lesson from [Predator] Pizarro about trusting strangers.

Instead, Byron's identity has been verified very carefully from many aspects.

As we all know, the jewel in the crown of black witchcraft is called the "Original Book of Bloodline". When promoted to the fourth level, one can achieve racial sublimation and transform into a mythical creature.

Thanks to this, although the black magic that changes the physical appearance in the world cannot be said to be countless, it is by no means uncommon.

It's just that the superficial appearance can be changed at will, but Byron's personality as the race's chief god [Lord of Heaven] and the emperor's strong human will cannot be faked.

As a mythical creature and descendant of a god who also aspires to obtain divine status, Atahualpa is very familiar with this power.

Byron consumed a non-renewable "prop", Mr. Pizarro, to sing a good play. It was originally intended to show his force and successfully establish a line with the prince of the Sun Empire.

Naturally, it was impossible to refuse Atahualpa's invitation. She smiled and nodded at him:

“It’s my pleasure, it’s my honor.

In fact, I am also very curious about the difference between the Sun Empire and my country, and why there are so many powerful extraordinary beings and even gods.

Your Highness, how about returning home with me on the [Golden Deer]? "

Prince Atahualpa wanted to take a closer look at the sailing battleship, the pinnacle of human military technology, and he readily agreed.

He ordered the accompanying Sun Chariots to slowly follow the sailboat, and he and Byron landed on the deck of the Golden Deer.

At the same time, under Byron's order, Xiaowo dived into the seabed and fished out all the treasures left behind by the [Treasure Hunter], the bronze cannon, and the chariot that had been crushed by the high pressure of the deep sea.

With Pizarro's death, the treasure elves in his hands that relied on extraordinary abilities to be activated have all turned back into mere treasures.

Byron gave Violet the most powerful one [One-third Slow Down Pocket Watch], and the rest of the treasures, mainly "jewelry", were going to be packed up and given to his sister Catherine.

Especially the Diamond Star, whose size ranks tenth in the Silver Continent, will definitely be the Mithril Dragon's favorite!

The golden chariot was returned to Atahualpa in person.

Although Byron was greedy for money, he would never be greedy for such small money.

It actually made Atahualpa appreciate him even more.

In fact, the material of these golden chariots is an enchanted metal refined with black magic. It is light and tough. Although it is valuable, it is not real gold.

Bang bang bang.

All the extraordinary pirate officers on the ship lined up to applaud in advance, and everyone's eyes were as enthusiastic as looking at a big fat sheep.

"Welcome, Your Highness."

In essence, this is no different from a scam group in which everyone except one fat sheep is a scammer.

As long as the atmosphere is in place, consumption is not up to them.

Violet also relied on her status as the Queen of the Holy Golden Empire, and she had already used the Night Demon's human transformation technique to transform herself into a black-haired indigenous girl with satin-like wheat-colored skin.

The clothes and accessories on his body were also naturally transformed under the effect of [Alchemy] without any trace.

Coupled with the pair of tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of her nose, she has an exotic beauty that is different from that of aboriginal girls and Bay people princesses.

The other [Half Night Demons] whom Byron embraced for the first time were similar. Guardian Knight Bruh and Honest Eight Fingers all turned into natives early on.

With Bloodborne in hand, changing skin color and appearance is a simple matter for them.

Moreover, less than half of the Guards [Deathwing] were devout believers selected from major city-states. Led by Wyandot, the orthodox heir of Chichen Itza, they were all genuine Taínos.

"Fellow warriors, that battle just now was truly wonderful. You should be rewarded for your bravery."

Atahualpa smiled and greeted everyone, and he did not forget to take out golden peanuts from his invisible pocket as if they were free of money, and stuff them into their hands one by one.

“Take it, take it, don’t be polite.

Peanuts are a unique crop in the empire. Craftsmen use pure gold to imitate their appearance and make these golden peanuts, which symbolize longevity and fertility in our solar empire.

This is my blessing to you all. "

In Byron's opinion, it was similar to the golden melon seeds in his previous life. If he grabbed it with his big hand, it would be worth at least a hundred pounds, which was equivalent to ten years' salary of an ordinary sailor. It was definitely a rare and generous gift.

The kings of the Old World were not so arrogant when tipping people.

Later, when the prince looked at the many white-skinned crew members on the ship with confusion, Byron also gave him a timely explanation. On the spot, the actor possessed him and said sadly from an indigenous perspective:

"Your Highness, in fact, as early as seventy years ago, the colonists of the 'Dragon King's Court' in the Old World had already begun what they called the Age of Discovery.

It is said that the area of ​​the Old World is at least twice the size of the 'Paradise of Beasts', and the population of many church countries on the east coast alone is as high as 70 million.

Over the past few decades, the colonists have brought countless sufferings to our people. Now they have occupied most of the land in our Bantaan Islands. Only the Yucatan Island under my rule is still resisting with difficulty.

Just at the beginning of this year, the Kingdom of Castile, where [Predator] Pizarro was located, attempted to launch a horrific smallpox plague to exterminate all Taíno people in one fell swoop.

However, thanks to the blessings of the ancestors, there are bad and good people among these outsiders.

I have partners in the Dragon Court, and I often get help from them.

The Taíno also learned from them farming techniques, warfare, medicine, military industry, extraordinary knowledge, and everything else that allowed the race to survive.

This can be considered an eclectic approach.

After the shamans and priests of the Azik and Taya empires strongly invited me to be their new emperor and sole god, I declined but reluctantly accepted. Now there are both Tainos and friendly outsiders living in the empire.

If we had remained stagnant and refused to accept new things, maybe the Taino people would have been completely extinct by now."

Byron did not lie to Atahualpa at all, but only selectively told part of the information.

After hearing Byron's series of explanations of the situation in the north, the latter's attitude towards him suddenly became more enthusiastic.

If nothing else, just to deal with the brutal plague brought by those white-skinned barbarians, the Empire of the Sun might have to rely on this "distant relative" in the future.

Randomly, he also pointed to the continental horizon gradually appearing in the distance, and roughly explained the current situation of the Sun Empire to Byron:

"The great [Sun God] Inti and his subordinate gods mostly live in Machu Picchu, a city floating in the sky.

Unless they encounter powerful foreign enemies, they generally will not come to the human world.

The kings and nobles who govern the secular world are all his blood descendants, that is, we sons of the sun and lava giants.

The bloodline may be near or far, thick or light. The closer you are to the great Sun God, the faster your promotion will be."

Byron next to him nodded from time to time, and the image of this indigenous empire in his mind became clearer.

The highest level of gods living in the human world like Atahualpa is the fourth-level mythical creature.

Among them, the gods with strong bloodline can naturally awaken their bloodline as they grow older without having to perform corresponding bloodline sublimation rituals, which is much easier than those dark wizards.

However, most mythical creatures are not like the Night Demon, who can initially obtain immortality at the fourth level by relying on the [Scarlet Holy Grail] and "Eternal Blood".

Even though he lives far longer than ordinary people, he still has his own limits.

For example, these Sons of the Sun and Lava Giants, although they possess terrifyingly lethal fire element witchcraft, are still burning violently at any time.

Even if they reach the level of fourth-order mythical creatures, their life spans are not much longer than that of ordinary humans.

The average lifespan of a mortal is 35 years, and they will reach their limit when they live to be almost 150 years old.

If you cannot advance to the fifth level [False God] before your lifespan is exhausted and forge your own immortal godhead, you will begin to age rapidly, and eventually it will even explode or collapse into a Sun Stone.

Such was the case with Atahualpa's father, the previous king Huayna Capac.

When talking about the throne, the prince paused for a moment before continuing:

"Being the king of the Sun Empire has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you have more opportunities to gather people's willpower and create your own godhead.

However, the complicated government affairs and sacrificial work may also make it difficult for them to take care of their extraordinary path.

My father finally fell on the highest throne except [Sun God] Inti.

The Empire of the Sun has been in existence for more than a thousand years, during which time there have been fourteen kings. Most of them died eventually, and only a few can become gods.

And the ancestor of all imperial nobles, the great [Sun God] Inti, will hang high in the sky forever! "

Then he spoke faster and said with eager eyes:

“However, most of the fifth-level gods in the empire used the king as a springboard to ascend to the gods, find their own ladder of immortality, and obtain godhood.

The king's chances are always much greater than others.

Moreover, if the royal family fails to compete for the throne, some will die on the spot, while others will be seriously injured and disabled.

The best outcome is to be driven by the noble council to the hinterland of the continent where totem gods and primitive tribes are everywhere, taking a small amount of wealth and population to develop their own territory and leave a place for the next generation of royal descendants.

The position of the governor of the four Suyu will sooner or later fall to another generation of princes, and the cycle will repeat.

In the long time of thousands of years, the empire has been gradually expanded bit by bit.

So I must fight for the supreme throne!

It's just that the change of the throne of the empire this time coincides with the invasion of white-skinned barbarians.

And the old gods' followers who crawled out of the sea on the east coast are never restless. They regard us as mortal enemies and are always thinking about subverting the Sun Empire.

My brothers are not all law-abiding characters. If there is a chance, they will definitely seek help from external forces.

Finally, the rules of competition may be different from previous years.

My friend, our meeting must be arranged by the [Sun God]. Please, are you willing to help me? "

Atahualpa reached out and gently stroked a golden 32-pound bronze caron cannon beside him, feeling the heavy power in it, and turned back to look at Byron with burning eyes.

The latter nodded decisively in response to his gaze:

"That's natural.

You want weapons support, right? No problem at all! ”

Navigation, trade, plunder, and war have always been the unchanging theme of the Age of Exploration.

Since it is unrealistic and completely against his interests to go to war with this powerful empire, trade naturally becomes the best choice.

Even if he has not yet figured out the specialties of the Sun Empire, arms are hard currency no matter where he goes.

The main purpose of his coming to help his "distant relative" is to make money!

He dares to sell what other countries dare to sell, and he dares to sell what other countries dare not sell.

Swords, muskets, cannons, and large-caliber military heavy artillery that is strictly prohibited from smuggling by various countries.

As for whether the other party will use these weapons to fight the colonists, making it more difficult to colonize the southern continent?

Ha, who cares?

As long as they don't use them to fight themselves.

Mr. Bai·Arms Supplier·Lun immediately went online, and his confidential secretary and chief engineer Miss Violet also consciously stood beside him.

"Very good, the Chincha Suyu I rule is the richest among the four Suyu in the empire, and I will never let you suffer.

I think these muskets and cannons are good. Can you give me a set first so that my governor's guard can try them out?

If it goes well, I will definitely increase the purchase later.

If I can become the king, I will never be stingy with national military orders in the future! "

Byron and Violet silently praised the arrogance of this big customer.

Look at him, just to try it out, he asked for a whole warship's supporting weapons.

Coincidentally, Byron and Violet had just calculated the costs of providing Edward IV with suggestions on adding copper to the bottom of the warship.

The large-caliber flintlock, nicknamed "deck cleaning machine", costs about one pound for their own production, and the foreign trade version is sold at two pounds at retail.

If the quantity is large, there is a more favorable wholesale discount price.

Because the size and weapons of the six levels of warships in the Old World have certain standards, they have estimated the overall cost of warships at all levels.

The standard is roughly: "If the cost of building a warship is 10, then the weapons mainly based on shipborne artillery will cost 2-3, and the price of copper coating will cost 1. "

Take the [Golden Deer] as an example. Excluding the additional teak material, the normal cost of using ordinary oak is 30,000 pounds, and the cost of equipping all artillery, muskets and other weapons is about 9,000 pounds.

Because they have excellent quality copper and iron mines in their own territory, and the world's most efficient [Holy Relic Ironmaking Blast Furnace].

The cost can be reduced by half, which means that it can be fully equipped for about 5,000 pounds.

So, Byron decided to bear the pain and make a three-fold profit. Anyway, it's a long-term business, and honest people can't do too much.

So, he slowly stretched out two fingers to Atahualpa, who was not short of money, indicating 20,000 pounds:

"Your Highness, if you want to equip the Golden Deer with this set of weapons, you need at least this amount. "

Atahuallpa was slightly startled when he saw his outstretched finger.

Byron reacted immediately and quickly took out a few standard gold pounds of Hastings to show him.

"Now when we do business with the Old World, the general equivalent used is this gold coin, one coin is equivalent to one pound of silver, so it is also called a gold pound."

Seeing this reference standard, the prince immediately understood, took a few gold coins and weighed them in his hand.

He thought to himself:

'Since I plan to do business with them for a long time in the future, I can't give too much premium based on the rules of tribute and return of gifts.

I can't be too extravagant either, thrift is a virtue.'

So, he also pretended to be an experienced negotiator and nodded without changing his expression:

"Two hundred thousand pounds? This is a reasonable price.

Can I pay directly with gold ingots of equal weight? Payment first, delivery later. "

As he said this, he was afraid that Byron would go back on his word, so he immediately took out gold bars from his pocket and threw them onto the deck one by one.

It seemed that this amount of gold, which was a huge sum of money in any country, was just a small amount of pocket money for him to buy groceries.

"Hiss!"

Led by Byron and Violet who were standing at the front, a group of crew members all gasped, and the uncontrollable golden light burst out from their eyes.

"Two hundred thousand, I mean. That slurp~"

For a moment, Byron felt that his tongue was a little tangled, and his saliva was out of control.

It's not that he has never seen two hundred thousand gold pounds before, but he has never seen such a wealthy transaction with a proactive premium of .39 times! ! !

At this time, Violet's heart became even darker. Violet, who was the first to react, yanked Byron hard from behind, telling him to hold back his words since he couldn't speak, and decisively agreed for him:

"Deal! His Royal Highness is so refreshing."

Then he took out his handkerchief and silently wiped the corners of his lips for his too honest man.

I also did not forget to rely on [Witch]'s ability to control water to control myself, and it was difficult to maintain the image of an elegant and dignified lady.

"Ahem, that's what I mean."

Byron could only swallow the words that came to his lips again.

He and Violet looked at each other and nodded silently, confirming that the customer in front of them was what every businessman dreams of, the legendary fat sheep and the ultimate big dog!

The label of being inhumane to millions of families was instantly slapped on Atahualpa’s forehead.

They wondered if an iron ax had not fallen into the river, but into the prince's house.

He was afraid that he would come out and ask with a smile: "Did you drop this golden axe, a golden axe, or a golden axe?"

Damn it, there is no such thing as a cheap silver axe.

Even if the gold from the Empire of the Sun were put on the market of the Old Continent, it would definitely cause inflation and financial earthquakes instantly.

"This Prince Atahualpa obviously already possesses the most valuable qualities of a king - money and generosity!

This man is capable, and he really gives money when he has it. "

A pair of male and female thieves quickly reached a consensus when their eyes met:

“This man looks like he is born to be a king.

We must let our dear big dog sit on the throne, and then use the gold of the entire empire to do business with us.

If he doesn't become king, we won't agree, the naval fleet of the Holy Golden Empire won't agree, and none of the 13 million Taíno people will agree! "

but.

If Byron and Violet knew that each other's initial psychological expectations were actually changing, they would not be so distressed that they would vomit blood on the spot.

Is this more than just missing a small goal?

If Catherine knew that there were two losers in the family, she would hang them up, take out the ancestral nine-tailed cat, and give them a hundred lashes.

One hundred lashes per person!

After a while, Atahualpa piled a pile of gleaming gold ingots on the deck, and even the teak deck creaked under the load.

Byron said quickly:

"Your Highness, I have all the spare arms with me and will deliver them to you as soon as we arrive at the shore."

Although the window period for North-South interconnection is only once a month.

But this time he came to the Southern Continent with No. 5 [Sun God] and No. 6 [Moon Goddess]. Together they can create a huge pocket space.

Although it can't be used as a place for people to live in, it is quite sufficient to be used as an arsenal and various logistical supplies.

Even if the inventory he brought with him was not enough.

As long as the other party pays enough, he will not hesitate to remove the ship-borne artillery from the first-class battleship [Blue Dragon King] and give priority to his dear big dog customers.

On the other hand, when the prince saw Byron and a group of his compatriots, their eyes were shining, and they were full of distress for their poor relatives.

He thought that his relatives in the north might be poorer than the Sun Empire, but he never expected that a dignified emperor could be so poor, as if he had never seen gold at all.

He shook his head inwardly with a sigh:

'How pitiful! Look at the people who left them poor. I don't know how much they suffered under the siege of those white-skinned barbarians.

And even though our relative is poor, he still takes care of me like this and asks for such a cheap price. He is so conscientious! ’

I was so moved that I almost shed tears on the spot.

At this moment, the feelings of both of them were the same. It was just that tears were flowing from the corner of one eye and the other from the corner of the mouth.

Even better, this time it's all settled in cash, no need to use a Pioneer Bank trading account.

Byron keeps half of it for himself and gives the other half to his sister, making twenty times the profit. How can this guy who has never seen the world go crazy with joy on the spot?

"Who doesn't love such a big customer who is generous and considerate? How can he not be moved to tears?

I sincerely wish this good man a long life!

No, it’s immortality! "
