Pirate Kingship

"Excuse me! The Pharos Lighthouse has been upgraded, and the lighthouse sequence has been enhanced to an epic level!"

"Extra number! Starting from today on the sea voyage, the captain no longer has to worry about getting lost!"

"Excuse me! Perhaps the church has not yet recognized the status of His Excellency St. Byron, but he is undoubtedly the savior of the lighthouse sequence. Gentlemen and ladies, please cheer for him!"

"Extra number!"

Early the next morning alone, seagull messengers acting as newsboys were all over the "Old Continent Dragon King's Court", "First Circulation Belt", "Second Circulation Belt", "Bantaan Islands", and "Southern Continent Beast Paradise" ”.

With the Daily Beacon waving in his paw, the news spread around the world in less than an hour.

"Extra-issue" publications in newspapers and periodicals are considered to be special publications that are usually issued temporarily when newspapers encounter major emergencies or need to report important news quickly.

Because this kind of publication is not within the sequential numbering of regularly published newspapers, but is published in a queue, it is named "outside the number".

We must know that the last time the global newspaper "Beacon Daily" had an "extra number" was as early as 1453.

The religious war between the Church Countries and the Holy Spirit Church Countries failed and the Holy City was lost, and that was already nineteen years ago.

The changes in the Pharos Lighthouse cannot be hidden from any extraordinary person. The [Lighthouse Matrix] is originally connected to every extraordinary person in the lighthouse sequence. Sooner or later, they will know about it.

The Lighthouse Federation is a powerful organization that is well-known in the entire material world. Instead of letting others speculate randomly, it is better to show off its muscles openly and make the momentum bigger.

Therefore, with Byron's consent, this edition of "Extra" focuses on introducing [Sea Hunter] St. Byron and his new invention "First-Class Holy Relic St. Byron Lens".

[Sea Hunter] The legend level of this vest has already exceeded 30 points.

After his last "invention" bagasse paper was put on the market, most of the powerful people in various countries saw the terrifying potential behind it to completely break the church's knowledge monopoly.

With the crazy pursuit of countless forces, it became popular in all countries on the east and west coasts of the Old Continent in less than a week.

Within a few days, Catherine received orders that were scheduled until the end of next year.

Byron's insistence on not taking advantage of the opportunity to raise prices has been highly praised by tower sequence scholars and palace sequence artists.

The spread of knowledge and culture related to their own transcendent path, as well as a series of promotion rituals, all of them are potential allies.

Many people have been able to predict that with this cheap writing medium, as well as the spice resources that are constantly imported into the Old Continent from overseas, and the increasingly active tide of source matter, the number of extraordinary people on the mainland will double in the next ten years. No problem (Chapter 470).

What a great achievement this is for human civilization?

At that time, it will no longer be as simple as "the food and clothing of millions of workers".

Time would become Byron's best friend.

Many forces are also preparing to move secretly, including the Dark Wizards' Association and the kingdom's intelligence agency. They can't help but sharpen their knives and want to attack the paper mill and get a piece of this big cake.

Now indeed, there is no one foolish enough to dare to go to the Bantaan Islands to attack Byron, and it would be difficult for anyone except the fifth-level legendary sneak attack.

But that’s not yet waiting for them to use a series of flexible methods such as honey traps, stealing technology, bribing technical personnel, or organizing reverse decryption by craftsmen.

Byron invented the "St. Byron lens", which was inferior in level but equally influential.

With the help of the [History of Time], I obtained the most upright orthodox claim of the church.

Regardless of whether they are devout or not, all forces involuntarily began to wait and see, wanting to see if he was "morally unworthy" before deciding on his next move.

After all, the underlying theme of this world is that the crowd is king. Even if Byron was confirmed as a favored person possessed by the "Holy Spirit", he would only be more legitimate than others.

An anchor is an anchor, a believer is a believer, and an army is an army.

The Pope was shot eight times in the back and still regretted it.

[Holy Spirit] How many teachers can you have in your hands? Can we still expect believers to sit in protest and practice non-resistance?

If he does not have the strength corresponding to his fame, he still does not have the right to distribute the cake.

But on the front page of the Daily Beacon.

However, St. Byron has been voted as the honorary vice-president by the members of the Lighthouse Federation. Once promoted to the fifth level legend, the word "honor" will be removed immediately.

The Lighthouse Federation is one of the most important international organizations in human civilization besides the church.

It is the light emitted by the Pharos lighthouse that illuminates the entire spiritual world instead of the human sun.

This is the core hub of the overseas lighthouse network system that spans the real and material worlds. Without it, most of the overseas development undertakings will collapse in an instant.

If you want to continue to gain profits from overseas, you must not offend them.

At this point, perhaps [Sea Hunter] is still just a fourth-level [Storm Lord] on the surface.

However, his status is no longer comparable to that of a mere "Earl of Stromgarde" or "Great Loyalist of York". He is vaguely transcendent of a single country and has a status that matches 30 points of legend.

The reputation that had been suppressed by [Wild Hunt] has risen again, and the talk of "Double Walled People" and "Eternal Enemies" are rampant again.

Moreover, the two of them were both civilized and martial, and their aura completely overshadowed the glory of all their peers.

Many people secretly rejoiced that the two Byrons were mortal enemies. If the civil and military merits were combined, Hettings might have the potential to soar to the sky.

The upgrade of the lighthouse has a far greater impact on the human world.

Just when the entire continent was boiling over a copy of the "Lighthouse Daily", a majestic voice also echoed over the Farrows Lighthouse:

"Everyone, our Lighthouse Sequence has always stood at the forefront of the source sea throughout the Age of Exploration and human history.

Every minute and every moment, brothers and sisters of the Lighthouse Sequence have sacrificed for this.

Without the "deep sea defense line" forged by our flesh and blood and souls and the great sacrifices over the past thousand years, there would be no prosperity and stability for human countries.

However, now there are people who are hunting our brothers and sisters of the Lighthouse Sequence for some ulterior motives.

We can You can die in the sea of ​​​​source, you can die in the belly of sea monsters, you can die in plunder, you can die in adventure, but you must not die inexplicably from a hidden arrow from behind!

I swear in the name of Alexander, the president of the Lighthouse Federation:

No matter who is the executor of this conspiracy, who is the mastermind behind the scenes, we must fight back with tooth for tooth, blood for blood! ”

The assembled action troops also held their swords and guns tightly and shouted angrily:

"Tit for tooth, blood for blood!"

In the past, the radiation range and intensity of the lighthouse were not enough, and there were loopholes everywhere. If you say this but can't get things done, it's just a joke.

Now they have the confidence.

With stronger power, you must show a stronger sense of existence.

Any organization has its own collective interests.

Individuals can be pure and abstinent, but if the leader of an organization dares not to seek benefits for the organization, no matter how strong he is, his only fate is to be dismissed.

Soon, led by the president [Fire Thief] Alexander, the vice president [Spark] Rudolph and several other fifth-level vice presidents, the team was projected to the southern continent through the greatly enhanced [Lighthouse Matrix].

With the coordinates provided by Byron as the center of the circle, the most unsolvable carpet search was launched, leaving no clues, vowing to find the black hand.

When the "trapdoor" window period at the end of the month can be passed physically, a bigger move is prepared.

After Byron used his strength to pull out a lot of powerful thugs to rescue his own pirate captain, he returned to the base camp and did what he should do.

It was as if nothing had changed.

"Although I have obtained the 'claim right', I still need to wait for an opportunity to step forward and exercise the 'claim right'.

At the critical juncture when both the Old Continent and the Southern Continent are in chaos, it is better to be still than to move."

Byron is well versed in human nature.

Under normal circumstances, no one in the church who holds power would be willing to acknowledge the bullshit "savior" who would take away their authority.

It is no different from Remi's privileges back then.

So the focus of his revision is only one sentence:

"When the flood comes again, God will give him the holy name: Saint Byron for his merits in fighting against the old gods."

More than a thousand years ago, when the dark millennium just began, the church issued a decree.

All believers can only choose one of the 65 male names and 48 female names in the "Gospel of Creation" as the name of their children, and it is strictly forbidden to choose another one.

Even the royal family with a noble status has no privileges.

Now everyone knows that the church's starting point was good at that time, and the purpose was to enhance the stability of human anchoring.

And this decree also made the name "Byron" no longer uncommon, and there are countless "Byrons" in the church.

Moreover, before the Creator Church split from the Remit Church, Simon, Baal, and Kochba, who had made great achievements, were considered by the "prophets" to be candidates for the Messiah.

To judge whether he is the real savior, it depends on whether he can finally create great achievements and ascend to heaven in the flesh as predicted.

Even the [Son of God] was deified after his death, let alone the [Holy Spirit].

Byron did not take the initiative to jump out and declare himself the king of all mankind like the [Son of God] did at the beginning.

There is room for both sides, and they can coexist peacefully in a short period of time, so as not to immediately become a threat in the eyes of the saints.

When the church itself splits and the new and old factions argue about who is orthodox, Byron, the "Holy Spirit" named in the scriptures, will naturally become very important.

This is why Byron chose to decisively modify the historical records at this time point. If the time is moved forward or backward, the danger will increase by dozens of times.

He had foreseen this dispute as early as 1471 (Chapter 100), and had been working silently until now, preparing to bite off a piece of meat from that behemoth.

"Besides, the [Book of Years] can be revised once. When you have gained enough benefits and have enough influence on the world, you can continue to revise it next time."

After one revision, Byron's accumulated historical influence has been exhausted.

You must know that if it weren't for Byron, Anchor Bay would have fallen at this time; the First Fleet of the Channel Islands would be unscathed, and the York family holding the [Touch of the Kraken] would be in high spirits.

The Lancaster family has completely become history, and the Red Rose Dynasty will never be revived again.

All the natives of the Azik and Taya empires died of smallpox; the Castilian family in the Bantaan Islands is the only one, and the Golden Empire belongs to [Conqueror] Cortez; coral disease has also spread in the vast sea area

Not only has the southern continent not been developed, but the vanguard is more likely to be killed by the family members.

This is all Byron's deflection of world history. After using [History of Time] this time, you need to accumulate the power of deflection before you can continue to modify it next time.

While Byron was secretly dormant, waiting for that opportunity, there was actually a more important thing to do.

Built on the top floor of the Torrent Fortress, the Governor's Palace overlooks the entire industrial city.

In the most luxurious suite, a very young-looking girl was lying on a large nanmu bed.

Bright silver thick long hair is spread on the white pillow. Her delicate eyebrows are like a carefully carved doll. She is wearing a very decent palace dress. She holds a translucent blue halberd blade and a white lead in both hands. Small ball.

It was the mermaid princess Hathaway who was brought back to the Bantaan Islands from Valhalla by Byron and Violet seven days ago.

After leaving the original frozen water environment in the crystal coffin, a beautiful silver fish tail automatically turned into human feet.

It shows that the activity is recovering and her body is recovering very well.

As a ray of afternoon sunlight gradually shone on her face, her long eyelashes suddenly moved, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

As if she just slept normally, Hathaway raised her upper body and rubbed her eyes, yawning slightly:

"Ha, I slept so well this time, but I always feel like something is pressing on my waist, which makes me feel a little sore and sore."

She clenched her white and tender fists and knocked on her waist, then reached out and took out a small, shiny object from under the seven layers of velvet quilt.

—A diamond pendant that was supposed to hang from an earring.

Seven days ago, her two daughters-in-law, Catherine and Violet, made the bed themselves. They were worried that she would not sleep comfortably, so they put on a few extra layers of quilts.

Unexpectedly, the earring she accidentally dropped could be felt clearly through seven layers of quilts.

She is obviously a real princess.

Hathaway shook her head, her long silver hair flowing down like moonlight, and she gradually woke up from a long sleep that lasted more than ten years.

The blank look on his face suddenly disappeared, and he had once again recalled the fact that he was dead.

"I was actually resurrected? The [Sea King's Trident] was not taken away, nor did it attack the person who saved me. What happened?

Who has the magical power to bring the dead back to life, and who is so kind? "

Feel the vitality and strength in your body.

Before she could figure out what happened, she suddenly turned her head and looked outside the door. She vaguely heard some movement.

He clenched the trident blade that symbolized solidity in his hand and confirmed that the effect of the zero-level holy relic blocking all information outflow was always in effect, which was equivalent to turning on the most powerful [shielding presence] at all times.

After hesitating for a moment, she got out of bed and put on a pair of crystal high heels that had been prepared for her by the bedside. When she stepped on them, they unexpectedly fit her feet perfectly.

"A bit like the craftsmanship of the old shoemaker from Solenberg."

Then he slowly opened the door and walked out, finding himself in a very large suite.

Walking out of the bedroom on the second floor, there is a luxuriously decorated living room on the first floor.

Several familiar figures were sitting on the sofa in a circle, drinking afternoon tea and chatting.

She noticed several thick golden anchor chains in the spiritual world that provided her with additional anchors, and vaguely guessed the identities of several people. She was so unbelievable that her body trembled slightly with excitement.

At this time, a voice that sounded familiar yet unfamiliar complained:

"Cousin, there is nothing to discuss about who is older or younger between the two of us. Although the adolescence of mermaids is much longer than that of humans, I am not yet an adult yet.

But I was born long before my aunt disappeared, and she even hugged me. I must be older than you.

Don't change the subject, tell me quickly, how many identities do you still hide from me? "

Salant used the [Sea King Trident] to test "Byron Tudor" and confirmed that he was his brother.

Originally, I didn’t want him to be implicated because of the pollution in [Roya’s Ark] and the Eastern Continent, so I didn’t make the relationship clear. I just hoped that the other party could have a peaceful life.

But when he was assigned to work as a thug next to Byron Lancaster in [Wild Hunt], he was shocked to find that this guy had layers of armor on his body.

After "Tudor" turned out to be not his real surname, but the same mother's surname as his "Sea Lily", he really couldn't stand it anymore.

She grabbed him by the collar and finally asked him the truth.

In fact, mermaids are innately inhuman, and their life span is much longer than that of humans. Even in their twenties, mermaids are still teenagers.

At the same age, if converted into human developmental stages, Salant would be his cousin. If compared to his actual age, he would be his cousin.

Just like the Golden Deer, it is a Schrödinger-like brother.

Sitting next to Byron were the two queens who, despite their busy schedules, made time to wait here for Hathaway to wake up.

After taking a sip of the black tea presented by Catherine and eating a piece of cream puff presented by Violet, she shrugged at Salant:

“If you had come a few months earlier, there would indeed be other vests here.

You have seen [Sword Master] Herman and Emperor Azik. The [Goddess] of the Deep Sea Familia and the royal family members of the Holy Silver Empire are not here.

Now there are really only two, [Sea Hunter] and [Wild Hunt].

Oh, there is one last one, I will only tell you one person, you must not tell anyone else. "

"Really?"

Sarant immediately became alert, pricked up his ears and leaned forward.

But Byron suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"Brother, in fact, my real identity is [Holy Spirit], the absolutely authentic one.

So, kneel down and kiss my boots quickly, and offer your faith and soul by the way, and I will give you this vanilla ice cream and this box of chocolate bear cookies.

Humble mortal, don't be polite, come and accept God's grace. "

Before Salant, who was fooled by his unscrupulous cousin again, fought back violently, but a slender little hand suddenly reached out from the side and took the bear biscuits from Byron's hand.

A few people looked back and saw the figure they were looking forward to quietly appear beside them.

All stood up in surprise.

"Mom! "

"Aunt!"

Hathaway's epitaph reads: "Byron, don't steal my bear biscuits. Please respect the offerings. Thank you."

It can be seen that she is obsessed with bear biscuits.

Or this little mermaid princess who lives underwater all year round likes all snacks and candies on the shore, represented by bear biscuits.

Cream puffs, chocolate, caramel cake, ice cream.

Anyway, as a fourth-level mythical creature, she can't get fat no matter how much she eats.

She stuffed the biscuits into her mouth very elegantly and chewed them vigorously like a little squirrel.

After more than ten years, she tasted the familiar taste again, and couldn't help but narrowed her big eyes happily, and commented to a group of people seriously:

"I can give it the highest rating for sweets. It's not sweet! It's very delicious! "

Hathaway finished a cookie, appeased her gluttony a little, and suppressed her desire to eat another one.

She looked up and smiled and nodded at her nephew Salant, her adopted daughter Catherine, and Violet, who had a special relationship with her son.

Then she opened her arms to Byron, who still had a little bit of his childhood appearance, with a big smile in her heart and eyes.

What happened before was no longer important, and now she just had to enjoy the family affection.

The next moment, Byron, who was catapulted from the spot, hugged her tightly in her arms, and Hathaway's feet left the ground and turned several times before she put them on the ground.

"Mom, welcome home!"

Hathaway stood on tiptoe and patted Byron's head:

"You too, little Byron.

And now that you have grown up, you don't have to worry about cavities anymore. Mom decided to give you half of my sweets. Are you happy?

But don't let your dad know. "

Obviously, he has not yet realized that after the dislocation of life, sweets are no longer his son's favorite.

However, motherly love has always been!

Perhaps the reunion of relatives thousands of miles away made Salant lose some of his past vigilance. He couldn't help but sigh:

"Aunt is so gentle after becoming a mother, which is not at all like what my father said.

The nemesis of all pets in the palace, the terminator of grandfather's beard, the lawless living devil, the fat girl who eats and eats indiscriminately"

Hearing this, Hathaway's bright eyes flashed a trace of murderous intent.

"Stop talking!"

Stretching out a little finger like an orchid, pointing at Salant, the fingertips flashed with spiritual light, and suddenly hit his head.

Compared to Salant, the shame of mermaids who only knows [Flash Magic], Hathaway is undoubtedly a master of black magic.

"Quack! "

Sarant just cried out helplessly, and turned into a big frog on the spot.

Before he could beg for mercy, he began to freeze rapidly from his feet, and in the blink of an eye he was frozen into a ball of ice.

Byron, who was close at hand, finally saw a trace of information about the witchcraft used by his mother through the [Ship Log].

-"Alice's Pillow Fairy Tale Book".

Just like Byron's [Blood River], it is an exclusive secret spell that a fourth-level mythical creature can master after breaking through the scope of the taboo book.

The move just used is called [The Curse of the Old Witch], also known as: [Frog Prince Wholesaler].

Most of the frogs that appear in fairy tales are derived from this witchcraft.

Others include "The Princess and the Pea", "Cinderella", and "Snow White". All are based on various fairy tales in the North.

When I looked back, Hathaway had returned to her original gentle appearance, with sparkling little stars in her bright sea-blue eyes:

"Can afternoon tea time begin? "

Byron and Catherine recalled the fear of being dominated by their old mother and nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

So, Hathaway not only got bear biscuits, ice cream, and various desserts, but also got the symbol of family status in her eyes - the spare key to the castle kitchen!

After being satisfied, she immediately threw her son, who had just been very precious, aside, and pulled up Catherine and Violet with a gossipy face and started chattering.

But Byron didn't care about competing for favor, his inspiration was suddenly touched at this time.

It turned out that it was August Habsburg, one of his four [Wild Hunt Servants], who was born in the royal family of the Holy Silver Empire, who sent an urgent communication.

Since Byron missed the "Ninety-five Theses" by Martin, the Cardinal Archbishop of the Wittenberg Diocese, due to the church blockade, he ordered August to inform him immediately of any disturbance.

The first message from the other party brought a shocking news:

"The Protestant princes and the royal family in the Holy Silver Empire have gone to war!"

The core powder keg of the religious war is in the bulk Holy Silver Empire.

A few days ago, the church upper class secretly spread "The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven" in the Protestant suburbs, triggering a series of riots.

At the same time, the current emperor of the Habsburg dynasty is also the only holder of the "Crown" among many church countries-Frederick III, who appointed his younger brother Archduke Ferdinand as the King of the Electorate of Palatinate.

This is one of the seven electors, with a high status in the empire and qualified to inherit the crown.

Archduke Ferdinand happened to be a fanatical traditionalist. He just took office and carried out large-scale persecution of Protestants in the Electorate of Palatinate.

And banned the religious activities of Protestants and demolished their churches.

So today, the Protestant nobles and clergy in the capital of the Palatinate Electorate launched an uprising.

While Ferdinand was not yet firmly established, they rushed into the palace and threw the emperor's two envoys from the window into the trench, creating the "throwing out of the window" incident.

Archduke Ferdinand, who had not yet had time to be crowned and recognized by law, had to flee in a hurry after offending the public.

At the same time, the Protestant nobles established a provisional government consisting of 30 members, elected a new king, and declared the independence of the Palatinate Electorate from the Holy Silver Empire.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The furious Frederick III immediately ordered:

"Across the country, comprehensively encircle and suppress Protestants until the Protestants shed their last drop of blood!"
