Pirate Kingship

The deep night that enveloped the entire Corridor of Truth became increasingly noisy.

On the crescent blood moon, Lilith's eyes seemed to be slightly widened, and it seemed to be just an illusion, but she actually lowered her cold eyes, splashing a large area of ​​ominous bloody filth on the entire continent.

The living, dead, and even things that no one could tell whether they were dead or alive on the land all began to stir, even more lively than during the day.

But this liveliness belonged to others, and had nothing to do with the human race.

Anyone who dared to join in the fun would surely become someone else's fun.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

But there were always exceptions to everything, and two streams of light streaked across the low-hanging clouds, undisguisedly going straight inland from the west coast.

During this period, any evil things or night-walking monsters that dared to take off to intercept at night would be immediately nailed to the ground by a lightning-flashing magic gun.

This was Byron and his party who were invited by [Wolf Grandma] Britney to visit the Fairy Tale Town School.

However, only Hathaway and Byron were there, riding on an eight-legged Pegasus, with Byron holding the reins in front and Hathaway sitting sideways on the broad horse with her skirt gathered behind.

Violet led the large army that was released from the Kingdom of God and set up camp on the coastal forest that had been flattened in half with two moves by Byron.

This piece of land was originally Britney's private property.

After she successfully promoted to the fifth-level pseudo-god, which was the upper wizard in the school classification, her status increased greatly, and she didn't care about this little property.

She casually gave this coast and the nearby manor of escaped slaves to Hathaway, her "fellow student" who saved her life.

Byron decided on the spot to name it "Far Look Port".

Tomorrow morning, the first level-one lighthouse connected to the matrix will be built, and based on this, the "Fortress of Farsight" will be built to serve as a bridgehead for subsequent ocean-going fleets and merchant ships from various countries to dock.

Like the Taiman Islands, it is positioned as an international port for wealth from all directions.

As for whether Britney is worried that these visitors from the Old World are actually colonists?

When we share wealth, we are afraid that others will snatch our meat, but who will care about this when we share adversity?

As the weakest human side among the forces of the Eastern Continent: "Activated Knowledge, Old God Church, Wizard School", she hopes that the more human colonists come, the better.

Compared with the Old God Church and Activated Knowledge, at least they don't eat people!

"Your Majesty, if there is a place in the material world that can be called the 'hell' of mankind, it must be here.

Ordinary people are just at the bottom of the food chain, and anyone can have a bite.

Although this is my hometown where I grew up, I have to say that this is not a good place to build a huge colonial empire.

If the starting point of the third circulation belt, the 'Ten Undersea Kingdoms', had not been occupied by the Old God Church, those who have a way would have fled to the Dragon King's Court."

Britney, wearing a red hood and riding on a walnut broom, sighed to Byron.

She has personally witnessed Byron's terrifying strength that can beat her with just one hand, and the fleet of 5,000 people that is enough to destroy a small country.

She also realized that this team that set out from the Dragon King's Court, passed through the first circulation belt, the Southern Continent's Beast Paradise, the second circulation, and arrived at the Eastern Continent's Corridor of Truth, was not led by her "senior sister" Mermaid Princess Hathaway.

It was her son, a god and emperor who had a powerful empire in both the Dragon King's Court and the Bantaan Islands!

Although the other party emphasized that he only had the [royal title] but no [crown].

But the extraordinary forces under his command alone were enough to compete with many of the leading university schools, and the secular army left most of the East Continent forces far behind.

Britney's ancestors were also people from the Old World who were sent to the East Continent by the Blue Hole, and even had one-sixteenth of the Bay people's blood.

Not only did they not face the resistance of the colonists, but they wanted to attract them as foreign aid and give a shot of strength to the struggling East Continent humans.

In fact, other human wizard schools have almost the same attitude.

If they can take this land back from the hands of various evil things, they will never mind sharing the benefits with their hometown people, and even establish a solid alliance of mutual assistance.

'But according to the emperor, the main purpose of this time is to go to the ten underwater kingdoms to save the besieged mother clan, and it may not be a continuous investment and development in the East Continent.

So, the only problem now is that this place with a living environment like a bloody swamp and muddy mud, what can attract the colonists of the Silver Continent to come here continuously and support our resistance movement. ’

Britney glanced at Hathaway's profile. Even though the wizards of the "Fairy Tale Town School" have a pure heart brought from fairy tales, they can't help but feel a little envious:

'The kingdom was in trouble, the princess fled to a foreign country, and 20 years later, she returned with a son with unpredictable strength and his army.

Your story itself is a fairy tale, or it is a cool writing style that has become more and more popular recently.

The young people in the school are very popular, and the core element seems to be: 'Stand back, I'm going to start pretending'?

Why do we need to write another fairy tale specifically?

I guess once they accomplish this, the second legendary story that comes back to life should also be concrete soon, right? ’

Byron naturally couldn't guess Britney's thoughts, otherwise he would definitely recommend her to go to the Old World for further studies.

With her and the Fairy Tale Town School's divergent thinking, if she went to the Old World to learn the advanced knowledge of [Ladder of Glory] for two days, she could easily become a [Novelist], or even open up a branch of "Fairy Tale Writers" and produce a few characters like "An Tusheng".

Just listening to her introduction to the Eastern Continent, I couldn't help but look down at the restless earth under my feet.

The Corridor of Truth has many similarities with the Beast Paradise.

On the vast and primitive continent, the proportion of the natural world is far greater than that of the humanized world, and the degree of development is extremely low.

The vast mountains and forests, which are many times taller than the Old World, rustle, and every blade of grass, tree, flower, and stone have gained life under the blood moon.

In the shadows of the claws and teeth, strange monsters appear and stalk, evil spirits whimper, and the deserted forbidden secret realm suddenly becomes bustling with people.

"All things have spirits" may be just a fantasy of mortals in other places, but it is an obvious reality in these two places.

However, as a veritable "beast paradise", the southern continent is still dominated by various grotesques or monsters that tend to be beasts.

Byron has seen it with his own eyes: there is a [grotesque·millipede] that is as big as a metal locomotive, has a human face, and thousands of tentacles are replaced by human feet;

There are [monster·sinkhole worms] that wander deep underground. With one mouth, they can create a huge sinkhole on the ground, which is enough to swallow a small tribe of humans in an instant. After eating a meal, they can continue to lie dead for decades until a new tribe is established, multiplied, and grown by their mouths, and then swallowed up in one bite;

There are rotten corpses that crawled out of the tombs after being contaminated by the blood moon, and wandered around chasing any smell of fresh flesh and blood.

But when they arrived at the Corridor of Truth, this situation changed significantly.

Activated knowledge and secret realms formed by the cracks in the world replaced the position of ordinary grotesques, which are more secretive and more dangerous.

On the roadside, the seemingly bustling and lively human tavern may actually be a "human skin inn";

A quiet and peaceful forest town under the night sky may be "Silent Hill"; In an ordinary city, there is an "Elm Street" inexplicably;

An inconspicuous house in the forest may be a "cabin in the woods".

The human gathering areas on the continent are divided into fragmented points by densely packed secret realms of all sizes.

Not to mention the vast empires with large populations and prosperous economies, even the largest number of kingdoms and principalities on the Silver Continent are few.

The main model is still based on fortress cities, with satellite cities around as resource points forming isolated plots.

"Your Majesty, the King of the Wild Hunt, in fact, the more developed the humanities are in the Corridor of Truth, the more activated knowledge there is, and the more serious the disaster situation is.

The northern continent separated by the world's largest desert, the 'Sunset Desert', is mainly inhabited by immigrants from all over the world.

The fusion of ideas and cultures has created the most complex cultural environment and provided a breeding ground for the birth of various activated knowledge.

Humans in many places have become 'reserve food' in human farms without knowing it.

In recent decades, as the source tides have become more and more active, the material world has fallen into the intertidal zone, and this situation has become more and more serious."

While flying with them, Britney introduced the current situation on the continent to Byron and Hathaway, who had been away from home for 20 years, and also re-outlined an overall concept for them:

"In the current Corridor of Truth, activated knowledge, wizard schools, and the emerging Old God sect are three pillars.

There are multiple fifth-level sitting in the north of the continent. There are about fifty organizations and forces in total, and pure human forces only account for a quarter of them.

Attack and defense are changing, and it is miserable.

The strongest human force is the wizard kingdom, the Lone Star Kingdom, and the second-ranked Flower Kingdom are both known as: the Lone Star Kingdom does not support lazy people, and the Flower Kingdom does not support idle people.

Humans who want to get their protection must have a skill. It is considered the essence of economic civilization. As long as those weird things do not unite, they can at least continue to support it.

On the contrary, the Desert Empire in the "Sunset Desert" is naturally restrained by the Sea of ​​​​Source, retaining the scale of the empire and ruled by [Queen].

In addition, the southern area south of the desert is mainly the home of the Black Iron Clan, which is relatively safe.

Many northern forces that can't bear it have begun to move south, or start a new business and establish branches. "

Just like Byron's comments on the Black Iron Clan, they have no talent for learning and wisdom, and they don’t even have their own writing, let alone civilization inheritance.

The only empire of the Black Iron Clan, the Songhai Empire, collapsed in less than a hundred years.

There is not even a wizard school that can be named in this group.

By chance, the depression of civilization has become a blessed land for the continuation of the population, and the living environment here is much friendlier than that in the north.

"What a pity."

Listening to Britney's introduction, Byron already had a general idea of ​​the situation in the Corridor of Truth, and a trace of regret appeared on his face:

"If there is no way for the population and goods to circulate freely on a large scale, then the self-sufficient manor economy will inevitably prevail.

I finally understand why the technology tree of whale oil technology here points to the extraordinary direction, rather than the more universal steam engine direction.

Most social problems are essentially economic problems or extensions of economic problems.

They have no motivation to mass produce goods for sale, so they naturally won't develop the corresponding technology.

Because even if they are produced, they can hardly be shipped out, and even if they are shipped out, the transportation cost is not high enough.

This is not to mention the cheap supply chain system that needs to rely on the logistics system.

Last time, due to special circumstances, the indigenous empire of Yucatan Island accidentally changed from indirect economic colonization to direct rule.

Here, perhaps we can pick up the colonial system again by selecting agents.

As long as our industrial products are shipped in, their primitive small peasant economy will definitely die in one go.

Of course, this is not my goal.

If possible, I still want to establish contact with the wizard schools on the mainland that are still considered orthodox humans, and try to integrate the remaining human forces together.

It would be best to formulate adaptive laws, which can complement the [Silver Law] of the Old Continent and the [Golden Law] of the Southern Continent. [Bronze Law] and [Black Iron Law] are also acceptable.

Even if it is only a loose federation for the time being, I can't be the emperor who has the final say, but it is not unacceptable to be a founding father. "

When Byron was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Britney beside him remind him:

"You two, we are here."

Britney pulled them and turned into a stream of light, and rushed into an inconspicuous squirrel hole in the forest.

Byron's eyes went dark and bright, and he found himself in a small but very clean town.

A winding colorful river flows slowly around the town. The town is paved with neat cobblestone roads, castles with spires, whirring windmills, and houses built with chocolate and cakes and candies.

The flowers and plants were singing happily hand in hand, and the deer and the white rabbits wearing top hats walked by them, but they were not afraid of people at all, but took off their hats to salute them.

In addition to the normal silver-white moon projection in the sky, there was also a beautiful There were several small celestial bodies floating.

The deep blue night sky was clear, with only a few pink piglets floating by from time to time, swimming freely.

Not far from where they were standing, the river suddenly had waves jumping, and a small forest hut that looked exactly like the residence of "Grandma Wolf" slowly emerged from the colorful mist.

On the other side, a small port and a magnificent castle that was a one-to-one replica of Thorenberg also became part of the town.

Britney looked at Byron's surprised eyes and smiled proudly:

"Welcome to the [Truth Representation] of the 'Fairy Tale Town School' - Fairy Tale Town!

I have already reported this good news to the teacher in advance, please follow me. "

Byron had long known from his mother that the essence of Fairy Tale Town was equivalent to a powerful man-made kingdom of God.

Here all pollution can be removed and the rules redefined.

And every time a new "fairy tale" upper wizard appears in the school, it will bring new changes to the town.

Just as just now, the school welcomed two fifth-level wizards at once today.

The corresponding story scenes of the two of them naturally appeared, adding bricks and tiles to the entire school, and greatly enhancing the overall anchoring of the school members.

Even if these fifth-level wizards do nothing in the future, their mere existence itself is already a great contributor to the school. "Registration fees" can make a lot of money.

But Byron thinks that this [Truth Concrete] should be fine for self-protection.

But if you want to save the world in this way, you must reach a higher level than [Bound Creator] and transform the entire material world into your own kingdom of God.

More defensive, less aggressive.

Hathaway has lived here for a long time and has seen the magic of Fairy Tale Town. She didn't think too much. There was a sense of homesickness on her face. It had been 20 years since she saw her teacher again.

She murmured:

"I don't know if she is still as irritable as she was 20 years ago?"

Boom——!

As soon as the voice fell, a dazzling fire came out of a castle in the center of the town, and the shock wave stirred the fairy tale town, blowing their clothes.

Then a very immature, but full of fire and irritable female voice was heard:

"Little Prince! Give me back the lollipops I left for Hathaway, or I will send you to see your grandmother! "

A figure of a young man, probably only eight or nine years old, rushed to the roof of the castle with the shock wave of the fire.

He wore a golden crown on his head and held a rainbow lolly wrapped in candy paper in his hand. He dodged a match that was more powerful than high-explosive gunpowder again.

He made a face at a red-haired girl who was chasing him from behind:

"Stingy guy, isn't it just a candy? Come and catch me, if you catch me, I will let you spank me as you like."

Byron: Uh

He didn't expect that the "welcome ceremony" of the fairytale town was more grand than he imagined.

As soon as he came up, he saw the candy battle between the head and the second place of the school "Final Battle at the Top of the Fairytale Town".

I have heard about it on the way. My mother and Britney's teacher [Little Match Girl] Tricia is the second place of the school.

But she is also the most powerful fire mage. It is said that the "matches" she sold can make the whole town see their deceased grandmother together. The power is extraordinary.

The "trick or treat" [Little Prince] opposite is the head of the school!

In addition to the newly promoted [Grandma Wolf] and [Little Mermaid].

The school also includes [The Little Match Girl], [The Princess and the Pea], [The Snow Queen], [Alibaba and the Forty Thieves], and [The Little Prince].

The entire school has a total of seven fifth-level masters, which is worthy of being a university school that has been passed down for thousands of years.

However, as we can see, there is a key problem here. All black magic has side effects, and the fairy tale school is no exception.

Their side effects are that they will be more or less affected by the corresponding fairy tale characters.

Maybe they are not weak in strength, but most of them are innocent.

That is, they believe that children must be stronger than adults.

They dare to pursue fantasies like Arabian Nights, can do things that adults cannot achieve, and can also discover the truth of life that adults cannot understand.

And they will not be trapped in the hypocrisy and courtesy of adults.

The most typical one is the school leader [The Little Prince].

His fairy tale symbolizes [hope], [love], [innocence] and [the childlike wisdom buried in the heart of each of us].

His character and personality can be seen from his power.

[The Little Match Girl] is similar.

There was no polite welcome ceremony for the fifth-level pseudo-god. The teacher just took out his favorite lollipops and prepared to share them with the disciples he hadn't seen for many years.

As for the old mother Hathaway,

after entering the fairy tale town, her eye shadow changed from a strong woman who created her own world to a princess pink that can win by lying down.

It is obvious that her side effects are: "Intermittently full of confidence, continuous eating and waiting for death! Horizontal banner: muddle through."

Byron was particularly relieved for such an old mother.

"Sisters, our family property has been saved, which is really gratifying.

After all, although we are rich, we are not that rich. If we waste a villa in three minutes, we will go bankrupt in five hundred years."

But when he followed Britney to the castle and prepared to meet the two wizards, he hesitated in his heart.

It is of course a good thing to sing the praises of children's true nature and all the truth, goodness and beauty in the world. It is highly likely that you will not have to worry about being backstabbed when cooperating with such people.

However, a person cannot be a child forever!

Although this saying has been said many times, the truth is still the same. The reason why you have a peaceful life is that someone is carrying the burden for you.

My mother can be innocent and have fun because we men are supporting her.

But you are the pillars of the school. How can you continue to be innocent?

When a person is innocent when he is young, others may think it is cute.

But let him go, he is still a three-hundred-year-old child!

This scene is painful to think about.

Byron couldn't help but wonder if he could seriously consider the decision to cooperate with them.

However, when he walked to the gate of the castle and looked at the [Little Prince] Exupery who jumped down from the top of the castle, he found that he was actually superficial.

A pair of baby-like eyes are pure and sincere, clear and simple.

It seems that even the various negative effects from the source sea cannot pollute it.

Even Byron's utilitarian heart calmed down.

Then his heart trembled.

The deepest feeling is:

"He eats when he eats, plays when he plays, and sleeps when he sleeps.

He will never look around, think about this and that, and worry about everything like ordinary people when they eat.

When he sleeps, he dreams about this and that, and tosses and turns."

[The Little Prince] may not be as strong as himself.

But the other party's spiritual realm of "all things return to one" is much higher than his own, and he may have exceeded the critical value of 10% long ago!

Only then did I realize that he was clearly an old naughty boy, a sweeping monk, or an old immortal who said "I bet he can't kill us all before he runs out of energy"!

At the same time that Byron was a guest in Fairy Tale Town, in the depths of the Sunset Desert north of "Far Look Port".

A bloody chase and counterattack came to an end.

The two parties, one was the Desert Empire palace guards wearing the "Sedge River Flower Snake" emblem, and the other was a handsome knight in black armor.

Bang!

The black-armored knight pulled out a long sword like lake light from the chest of the last palace guard who died in the battle, and stepped on his head to crush it.

Looking at the direction of the royal city of the Northern Desert Empire, he slowly shook his head:

"What a pity, the defense of the [World's Most Beautiful Woman] and [Queen] is too tight, and she herself is also a top-notch wizard.

I have tried to sneak into her palace many times and start a vigorous "palace love" with her, but I couldn't get it.

This time when I went to the palace again, this beauty suddenly summoned many human wizards nearby for some reason, as if there was something big going on, causing me to return empty-handed again.

It's such a pity.

But, woman, you have successfully attracted my attention, let's wait and see!"

A crescent moon in the sky shone on his face, reflecting a handsome face that could make a little girl scream.

A line of elven words was engraved on the scabbard of the sword at his waist: "Eternal Lake Light"!

Just as he was about to turn around and cross the "Sunset Desert" to return to the northern continent, his favorite beautiful queens were all there.

Although none of these queens belonged to him, it did not prevent him from enjoying them at will.

Just then a gust of south wind blew, and the knight's nose suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look at the southern continent.

His lake-like blue eyes suddenly lit up:

"There is a beautiful queen there whom I have never seen before, but who exudes a sense of familiarity from the inside out. She seems to have the breath of the North Sea and the coldness of the North, just like my Guinevere!"

I took a step forward involuntarily and turned around to run south.
