Pirate Kingship

Byron was shocked that the [Whale Oil Mechanics] had actually found another avenue that was recognized by the [Silver Law] and the collective subconscious of mankind, without worrying about losing control.

On second thought, I felt it was natural.

“Strictly speaking, in [Ladder of Glory], except for the earliest occupation sequence, the temple sequence, which comes from the Creator himself, all other occupations are created bit by bit by human beings in social practice.

There will naturally be a process of origin, development, and perfection.

Just like the prerequisite knowledge of the lighthouse sequence [Pirates] at the beginning was Bay Folk Tomahawk Technique, and later became Fisher's Sword Slashing Technique, the extraordinary abilities of the same sequence have also been adjusted and changed several times.

There are more and more extraordinary sequences, and professions are getting stronger and stronger. This is normal human society. If all extraordinary knowledge is good from ancient times, it is really unscientific.

After more than a thousand years of development, the tower sequence finally welcomed the sudden rise of the whale oil mechanic.

Become the master of the [Craftsman] profession in the Tower Sequence, and also a great practitioner of the Sequence's motto: 'Use knowledge to expel ignorance'.

It is equivalent to finding a new way on his own and evening the gap with the fourth-level mythical creatures. There is no need to worry about falling and losing control at every turn.

It really could represent the future of humanity.

It won't be long before the whale oil mechanic will become the most popular profession in all human countries, just like the [musketeer] whose strength has skyrocketed with the replacement of firearms.

Even in the future, as the dependents of Violet, the [Queen of War], they will be more than enough to enrich the Kingdom of God. "

Byron couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of this.

In addition, the steam mechanical computer "Alpha" has a destiny that is not very friendly to humans.

If there is a group of digital beings who have obtained the [Omnic Protocol] and are active in the legal network, no matter how Alpha evolves, he is destined to become an Alpha dog!

The second incarnation [Word] Saga, who is holding in her arms, naturally understands her husband's thoughts.

He put a pair of mechanical arms around Byron's neck, playfully stuck out his pink tongue at him, and explained to him in a sweet voice like a lark:

"Unfortunately, except for myself, none of them have reached the fourth-level hero level awakening [Omnic Protocol].

Anything involving extraordinary power is difficult to mass-produce. The difficulty of human beings advancing to the fourth level and changing the nature of life is no less difficult than that of mythical creatures.

The youngest Babbage may be the first to complete the promotion by relying on the two increasingly influential machines. The others must make pioneering achievements in the development of the dreadnought.

This can be regarded as a carrot dangled in front of them. Only by working hard can they have a bright future.

The future is bright, but the road is tortuous, and we still have a long way to go before we can sit back and relax.

However, although mid-sequence products cannot be mass-produced, military applications of low-sequence products are not difficult. Follow me. "

She jumped out of Byron's arms and landed lightly.

After activating the [Gate of Truth] that controls material changes, the mechanical body immediately transformed back into delicate flesh and blood hands and feet.

Obviously, she didn't really give up her original goods in order to obtain the combat power bonus of Yigui.

The most important reason is not mystical concerns, but simply the worry that it will not feel good when the whole family sleeps together at night, and it will be much less fun.

This "way of hands and feet" is not enough for outsiders.

The group quickly entered the depths of the laboratory and stopped outside a room with a large piece of tempered glass.

Inside, three people were concentrating on an operation.

The former high priest of the Bloodthirsty Order [Ms. Leech]; the former high priest of the Skinned Church, [Murder Doctor] Robert Wriston, who has been transferred to a new profession as a surgeon;

There was also an academic third-level whale oil mechanic who had defected to them a long time ago. Byron remembered that his name was [Professor Octopus] Octavius. He was very efficient with the four robotic arms waving behind his back.

The three of them gathered around the operating table in the middle. Under the shadowless lamp lay a young Gulf soldier who was bitten by a leech lady and fell into anesthesia.

It's just that he has a physical disability, and he didn't know which of his battles with Byron was missing a hand or a foot.

At this time, he had been reinstalled with exquisite mechanical hands and feet, and a centipede-like mechanical spine was embedded in the bones.

While ensuring nerve signal conduction, it can also be used as a mounting platform to achieve maximum output.

Otherwise, just like some so-called "warriors" who train skin, flesh, and bones in legends, can you imagine that one organ is otherworldly and the other is still a mortal body?

The human body has always been the most sophisticated system engineering. If you dare to ignore the system and only strengthen one organ, you may be torn apart with a punch.

This soldier already has the simplest artificial body system.

Then, [Kurder Doctor] Robert cut open the flesh of the soldier's back neck and carved a rune that looked like an inverted tree on the atlas vertebrae of the first cervical vertebra.

Then he fills the incantation with the finest spices that shine like gold, and then sews the skin and flesh together.

"Huh? This seems to be a mortal who has not yet awakened to spirituality. Use spells to replace the control system?"

Byron's divine vision was just a quick glance, and he immediately discovered the problem.

As the direct person in charge of this project, the second incarnation raised his chin and explained to him with a proud face:

“Many [Craftsmen] were able to switch to [Whale Oil Powered Mechanic] just after I was promoted to the fifth level.

Before their organs have degenerated, it is difficult for them to make up their minds to directly cut off their hands and feet and replace them with mechanical prostheses.

But in this era of frequent wars, there are too many disabled people who are physically strong but missing arms and legs.

The most typical example is the pirates under our command.

The most significant breakthrough of our "mechanical human" project is not the difficult-to-popular [Intelligent Machine Protocol], but the assembly line production of as many mortal soldiers as needed.

We also named it: [Soldier]! "

As he spoke, he reached out with his little hand and took out a complete set of transformation plans from the Golden Mist Palace and handed it to Byron.

This plan was jointly completed by the Whale Oil Mechanic, the Bloodthirsty Cult, which is good at genetic modification, and the Skinning Church, which is good at surgery.

In fact, the technical prerequisites in all aspects have long been met after the unconscious accumulation of humans themselves and their major departments over the years. It’s just that experts like whale oil mechanics have combined them.

The main materials of the artificial body are high-strength metal materials, and various alloy steels that will not rust are generally used.

The research on metal materials by the [Blacksmith] among the craftsmen has also exceeded the productivity level of this era, at least not inferior to those of the Sons of the Sun in the southern continent.

It is said that in the laboratories of the great craftsmen, there are more than a hundred kinds of rust-free alloy steels. As long as you have money, Any parameters can be calculated for you.

Most of the weapons and strange embryos used by the extraordinary people are made by them.

It is only because of the lack of industrialized large-scale production conditions that they are restricted, but this is a trivial matter for the Torrent Fortress.

The extraordinary world has been thousands of years ahead of the technological world in the study of the soul since the beginning.

The technological world requires complex brain-computer signal transmission, but in the extraordinary world, only a cheapest rune engraved on one's own bones can be used as a substitute.

The position of the rune is obviously based on Violet's own deep-sea tracing ritual.

The six curse positions required by the beast number 666 are on the limbs, the root of the tongue, and the most important first cervical vertebra "atlas", also called "Atlas".

The effect is also very simple and direct, that is, it can replace the biological Signal conversion, imitating the [mechanical synaesthesia] of the whale oil mechanic, controlling the mechanical body through the spine, and even more external plug-ins.

After reading the document, Byron thought further.

If he simplified his "breathing method·Storm King Seal" and taught them, these mortal soldiers with ordinary spiritual qualifications would specialize in the human spiritual realm route of "heart flow", "divine vision", and "all things return to one".

Then directly imitate the knight's fourth-level dragon taming technique and use it to control [artificial bodies], automated assembly lines, steam battleships, steam locomotives, and other mechanical creations.

It will definitely greatly tap the industrial and war potential of mortals.

As the second incarnation said, it is absolutely no problem to establish a [soldier] force with stable humanity and outstanding combat power.

It also allows them to have more in long-term social practice. There are many possibilities to awaken spirituality and step onto the path of digital life.

The number of mortals is far greater than that of extraordinary people. Once discovered, the overall strength of mankind will definitely usher in a big explosion.

This is called: Hey, our working class has power!

Byron closed the transformation plan and suddenly remembered Louis, the [Puppet King] who had become a puppet in the hands of [The Clown].

In fact, he should be the first person to successfully take this step.

The last time they met, he used [Blood and Flesh Useless] to completely transform himself into a mechanical puppet, taking a big step forward on the path of puppets.

At the beginning, he was plotted against by his brother Enrique IV's title ability [Like Me].

The psychological state of conceptually castrating a specific object, becoming an "incompetent" like Enrique IV.

Regardless of whether the other party is physically healthy or has mastered any black magic that can affect the body, they will be castrated mentally, and even the fifth level cannot be exempted.

I don't know if it's because of "If you want to practice magic, you must castrate yourself first" and "If there is no woman in your heart, you will be a god when you draw your sword", but Puppet King Louis has made great progress in his research on the extraordinary path.

[Puppet Master] has the supporting ability [Puppet Transformation] at the third level, which can transform ordinary puppets into various murder weapons, or even powerful strange objects.

And Puppet King Louis has already used the most outstanding knowledge of the same sequence to deeply transform his body.

He also applied the two energy supply systems of alchemy stone and clockwork.

If he is given time, he may be able to install a small whale oil-powered steam engine produced by Torrent Fortress, and slowly achieve another form of immortality!

"Although the puppet king is gone, the ideas he provided are still there. The knowledge he left behind after his death should have also fallen into the sea of ​​collective subconsciousness of the human body.

We can go and get some of it someday, and then find puppeteers from other halls to cooperate with and try to develop the 2.0 and 3.0 versions of the soldiers."

The world of the crowd has this advantage. There is a sea of ​​collective subconsciousness of humans that has been manifested to record historical changes, and all inventions and creations will not be lost.

Even if the development speed is slow, the human race will become stronger and stronger.

Byron believes that as long as they can survive this flood, they will not be the ones to be "colonized" next time.

At this time, the Leech Lady and the Killing Doctor who had finished the operation on the soldier also came out, and they were overjoyed to see Byron coming to inspect.

First, he carefully glanced at Violet and the second incarnation beside him, then ran to Byron and complained:

"Your Majesty, you are finally here.

We have formulated a further soldier transformation plan based on the current simplified version, but all of them were rejected by Her Majesty the Queen.

Believe me, this transformation plan must be a hundred times more powerful than simple mechanical transformation!

Only you, the great [Night Demon King] who stands at the end of the long river of blood, can recognize the goods."

While handing another document to Byron in a hurry, he explained their genius idea:

"Your Majesty, all the transformation projects we envision include two aspects: flesh and blood and machinery, a total of 22 items:

Second heart, bone strengthening, muscle strengthening , enhanced ganglia, artificial meninges, corrosive glands, chameleon skin

The transformed warriors can adapt to various harsh environments, can fight monsters with mortal bodies, their stomachs can digest weeds and tree trunks, and their skin can breathe underwater

Even when we study the genetic code more deeply, we can completely integrate the twenty-two external transformation surgeries into a genetic transformation plan, and create a new existence among the various lower-level extraordinary species in "Blood Origin Tour".

Integrating the existence of the lighthouse jellyfish, which will never die of old age and can regenerate broken limbs, greatly prolongs life and sustainable combat effectiveness.

Combined with the external armor that Her Majesty the Queen is developing, it will definitely increase the individual combat effectiveness to a level that was unimaginable in the past."

The two people said with great joy.

Obviously, even if they had been taught a lesson by Byron many times, they were still a group of black wizards who killed people without blinking an eye.

"Your Majesty, the strongest warriors who have undergone these transformations will surely become the most loyal defenders of you, the emperor of the empire!

They are also the sharpest swords and the strongest shields, enough to wipe out all those old gods."

And they reiterated in unison:

"Absolute loyalty!"

Byron was speechless for a while: "."

"Twenty-two transformation surgeries? Absolute loyalty? We emperors really have to thank your ancestors!"

The route they proposed is not bad.

But the [Bloodline Original] route that has been passed down from the Paleozoic era to the present is itself a bloodline ascension route that has reached the extreme.

It is precisely because of its emphasis on "beast nature" that it is so easy to be wiped out by the flood.

Since the Creator used the [Silver Law] to build an anchor and stabilize divinity 1,500 years ago, if they take this route again, wouldn't it be a historical reversal?

You think the power of those old gods is not strong enough, and you want to take the initiative to send them knives, right?

Fortunately, with Violet's pressure, the crazy ideas of this group of crazy scientists have not been put into practice and were stopped at the project establishment stage.

But looking at the eager expectations of the two generals, it is not easy to directly discourage their enthusiasm, so he coughed lightly:

"Her Majesty the Queen rejected your plan. Obviously, there are still some imperfections in your plan.

For example, what is the underlying logic of the project? Where is the top-level design? What is the final delivery value? Is the granularity aligned? Where is the handle of the process? How to ensure the closed loop of the result?

How can the project be established without these? Although most of the empire's money was robbed, it can't be spent so casually.

We should learn from the whale oil powered steam engine project team.

In the past, we mainly relied on the powerful productivity provided by the whale oil powered steam engine to achieve in-depth co-construction with the countries on the mainland, form a combination of punches, and create a closed loop of content ecology. ring, so as to enable customers to create value.

In the future, we will increase the value of different scenarios horizontally and extend the service chain. At the same time, we will deeply meet user needs, and use the natural potential of human multi-level needs to deeply penetrate into various countries and groups. "

After a long speech, he concluded:

"So before solving these problems, it is better to put the biochemical transformation plan aside.

Prioritize raising your own realm, and you should also be promoted to the fourth-level mythical creature.

This time to the Eastern Continent, you all go with me. I think the extraordinary system of the Eastern Continent's "stitched monster" may be more suitable for you. "

Clap clap clap.

There was a burst of applause at the scene, and it lasted for a long time until Byron and his queens left.

Until they could no longer see their backs.

[Ms. Leech] put down her hands and asked the [Murderous Doctor] next to her:

"Robert, did you understand what His Majesty said? What does granularity and top-level design closed loop mean?"

The latter was also stunned:

"I saw you applauded first, I thought you understood."

But then he took out a pen and paper to write down everything he had just said, his eyes fascinated:

"But it doesn't matter if you don't understand now, you will naturally understand it in the future.

What His Majesty said must have a deep meaning. Last time, relying on His Majesty's knowledge, we successfully created a new profession of [Surgeon].

Your Bloodthirsty Cult also changed from animal trainers to [Life Engineers].

This time, I can travel with His Majesty, and I will definitely gain a lot."

Ms. Leech nodded vigorously, agreeing deeply.

The great Majesty would never say nonsense. I don't understand it, it must be because my realm is not enough!

At the other end, the raven Mist has been following behind the "human traitor".

After he escaped from the clutches of Louis XI, the other personality in his body started to cause trouble again and he was unable to use his power, so it took him a long time to travel.

Dragging a mortal body sealed by the "divine face" all the way to the west, it took a few days to cross the border and enter the territory of the Holy Silver Empire.

Through a branch channel of Mercury United Trading Company, I came to an abandoned small town on a desert island.

Mercury United Trading Company was also the organization that belonged to the double snake staff emblem that Byron saw on the bagasse paper, and the clues in his hand suddenly connected.

Locked in the opponent's core forces.

"Human Rape" walked around and around to enter an ancient temple that was obviously in the style of the ancient Silver Empire. The white marble pillars with several people hugging each other still remained standing even after thousands of years of wind and rain.

This form can be traced back to at least mythological times.

Through various symbolic sculptures and emblems, it seems that it should be a temple used to worship the god king [Thunder God] Jupiter.

Wuni followed the traitor into the deepest part of the temple, and saw a marble mural relief that had mostly collapsed in the collapsed ruins.

Twelve gods are engraved on it, which should be the twelve main gods of the Jupiter pantheon.

But except for the [God of Commerce] Mercurius, which is completely preserved, even the most complete of the other sculptural figures has no head, and no divine aura remains.

The "traitor" couldn't wait to rush towards the statue of Mercurius, cut the palms of both hands with a dagger and pressed them on the two snakes of the double snake staff in the opponent's hands.

Hiss hiss.

There was a loud neighing sound of snakes in the temple.

The snake staff carved out of marble shone with divine light, shrouding the "traitor"'s body.

Visible to the naked eye, the left and right half of the face that were originally indifferent to each other showed signs of recovery.

Although it is not completely symmetrical like a normal person, it is not as weird as it was at the beginning. It is obvious that the conflict between the two personalities has been temporarily suppressed.

This is because the double snake staff of [God of Commerce] Mercurius is regarded as a symbol of communication and reconciliation. It also symbolizes that there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in business, only eternal interests.

"Merculius?"

Byron knew that [God of Commerce] Mercurius was the son of Jupiter, the god king of the ancient Silver Empire, and his status was extremely high.

He has a series of powers such as [Intelligence], [Business], [Thief], [Transportation], [Tourism], [Animal Husbandry], etc.

But what is the relationship between an ancient god who should have died long ago and "human rape"? How can it help "human rape" restore the most fundamental balance between divinity and humanity?

"Unless the mural is just a medium, the power belongs to the 'rape' himself!"

Byron's eyes lit up and he immediately activated [Historical Echoes] on that mural.

The time condensed in this mural suddenly quickly traces back to the past like a reversed image.

The sun rises and sets, and the sea changes.

This abandoned temple is deserted most of the time. Only the "rape" comes every few years, but the appearance is different.

Until one day more than a thousand years ago, not long after the beginning of the Silver Age, the great flood had not completely subsided.

A young man who was covered in mud, looked extremely embarrassed, and seemed to have been seriously injured walked into the temple cautiously.

After devoutly worshiping the only idol [God of Commerce] Mercurius, he could no longer hold on and fainted in front of the idol.

I don't know how long it took, but billions of lights and shadows flickered in the statue, and then a figure with brilliant divine light walked out of it.

The body fell down and penetrated into the young man's body.

The young man's soul was quickly dyed golden by the other party, and the injuries on his body recovered as before. In the end, the two completely merged into one.

Byron's pupils shrank, and he finally learned the true nature of [the person who must not even be named].

"The 'rape' turned out to be Mercurius, the God of Commerce, who appeared from the mural relief?

No, to be more precise, it is a myth that came to life in the era when the Silver Continent was hit by floods and the tide of source material was extremely active.

This is not the body of a dead god, but the legendary activated knowledge that ‘everything you say will be known’ will chase and devour people! "
