Pirate Kingship

At the same time that Byron and his party escaped from the Sea of ​​Source and ascended to heaven.

On the other side of the sea, the online financial street was also crowded with people, and it seemed that a high-level event was being held.

Those big figures who usually only existed in legends and were rarely seen by ordinary people seemed to have become ordinary little characters today.

Ordinary members on the street who didn't know the inside story were talking about it:

"What happened today? Why are there so many big names who often appear in newspapers?

Look, that seems to be the Governor of Havana of Castile, Fox Ulysses, who is a third-level [Fortress Guard].

Even this middle-level Castile nobleman is here."

Someone next to him looked down on the Governor of Havana:

"Tsk, what's that? He's just a colonial governor with a term of office of only five years at most.

Now everyone knows that the actual rulers of the Bantaan Islands, from the Holy Golden Empire of Yucatan Island in the west to the Black Sail Port of the Bahamas in the east, are His Majesty the King of the Wild Hunt and Her Majesty the Queen of Finance.

Don't look at him as the governor appointed by Castile, the 'first sea power', but believe it or not, if he doesn't pay a visit to the Holy Golden Empire, this governor will be useless all day. I can't go down. "

In fact, he was not the only one who thought so, and many people around him nodded in agreement:

"Friends, in my opinion, although the war for the throne of the Kingdom of Castile is over.

But they are still fighting with the Star-Moon Empire and the Protestant princes in the Silver Continent, and they have no power to stop the rapid expansion of the North Sea Empire and the Holy Golden Empire overseas.

Since the Kingdom of Hastings emerged under the leadership of the last Lancaster and annexed the five Gulf Republics, although it is still the second most powerful country in the sea, it may only be one war away from the first.

And the sea power hegemon on the high platform may only need a wrong war to completely lose his hegemony.

I think that day may not be far away. "

Financial Street provides members with disguise services. Except for the bigwigs who are confident in themselves or represent the official, everyone else will always turn it on.

So even if they tease the Kingdom of Castile here for being strong on the outside but weak on the inside, no one is worried about being retaliated.

And every time this happens, they will sincerely praise "Mr. Wednesday" or "Ms. Friday" and thank them for creating this platform, which makes the living environment of the extraordinary people countless times better.

This is true for both normal extraordinary people in the Glory Ladder sequence and dark wizards.

Then, under their watch, more and more big figures who do not hide their appearance appeared out of thin air in the financial street, and their goal is the same - the central auction house.

"Hiss! That's Ivanka, the pirate commander of Black Sail Harbor. Be careful, don't say bad things about the King of the Wild Hunt in front of her. If you're not careful, she might turn you into candy and eat you.

The Sapphire Pirate King has always been a good man, but these followers are all mad dogs. Only the King of the Wild Hunt can control them."

"Look over there, it's the West Coast Pirate King [Ocean Throne] Barbarossa Hayreddin, and his brother [Blue Hair] Barbarossa Hayreddin.

I heard that [Blue Hair] is a fourth-level hero, but looking at their momentum, they are actually on par. It's true that a tiger brother has a dog brother. Awesome!"

"The new Pirate King of the Sea [Blood Sail] 】Mihawk is here too.

Two of the four pirate kings came at once.

The other two, [Whale Hunter] Jack Harold and [Wild Hunt King] Byron Lancaster, are said to have gone to the Eastern Continent one after another. I don’t know how they are doing now. ”

“Look, they are facing each other! The two pirate kings are facing each other!

One of them is a Barbary from the Star-Moon Empire, and the other is a Castilian. The two pirate kings’ home countries are at war, and their relationship is not much better.

It’s a pity that you can’t kill anyone in the financial street, tut tut.”

There are huge Taino-style pyramids suspended in the clouds above the financial street, like floating mountains in fairyland.

[Queen of Finance] Catherine changed her appearance, wearing a women’s shirt and a golden mask on her face, revealing the fierce temperament of a strong woman from the inside out.

It is the usual appearance of “Ms. Friday”.

Sitting alone on the edge of a pyramid, with high heels on her toes, she silently watched everything happening in the financial street below.

Apart from the tit-for-tat between the two fifth-level pirate kings, which slightly attracted her attention, the other so-called "big shots" could no longer arouse her interest.

She was not even interested in giving them a glance.

Raising her hand, a golden crescent-shaped scimitar that looked a bit like a sickle appeared in Catherine's slender and powerful right hand.

There was a flash of golden light in her lake-green eyes, and she never got tired of looking at this embodiment of the authority of the [Wealth] priesthood.

Looking at it seemed like seeing another person, and the corners of her rosy lips raised a beautiful arc:

"This brat always brings me surprises every time he goes out on an adventure.

After returning to the material world from the Sea of ​​​​Source, he immediately reported to me that he was safe.

It was said that the God Hunting Plan had been successful, and the cooperation agreement reached with the Desert Empire was about to be implemented, and he would give me another big surprise in two days.

It really whetted my appetite.

What else could be more surprising than a priesthood that perfectly matches me?

Trading port? A huge single market? Wouldn't it be half of the desert empire?

Haha, it's hard to say. My brother is the best in the world. It's not impossible for him to make the most beautiful woman in the world fall in love with him. "

Thinking of the cooperation between the two companies mentioned by Byron before, and the reaction of [Cleopatra], there was not only no jealousy on her beautiful face, but also some expectation.

As an incurable "brother-supporting demon", she started to save wife capital for Byron as early as when she started her business and before she even took back the Kingdom of Hastings.

Although she got herself involved in the last (place) carelessness (accumulation) and (consideration), the wife capital was only given to Violet, a sister.

Now with the incarnations of two people, Byron has a total of 19 "wives", but the souls of the incarnations and the original body are the same, but he can play a little more than others, for example: one dragon and nineteen phoenixes, not too much novelty .

So she always felt that her brother had too few lovers.

You know, after the Renaissance, even in those monogamous countries, kings and nobles could openly have many mistresses.

The king even had a formal official title of "royal lover", who could freely enter and leave the palace, attend banquets, and enjoy treatment in line with his status.

It was really feudal for an emperor to not have even a dozen lovers.

If you tell others, they would think that our family couldn't afford to marry.

Catherine was a little disappointed:

"With [the first stock], giving birth to many blood descendants and letting them rule vast territories respectively, no matter how much power is iterated, the meat will rot in the pot of your own family.

You can guarantee absolute control over your own territory and the material world.

Byron's lover is different from others. He is not for his own enjoyment, but for the sacred mission of saving the world as the Messiah!

This stinky boy has never actively pursued a girl. I hope he can wake up soon.

It would be a great loss if the first human demigod and the most beautiful woman in the world were snatched away by others.

Even if the empress is strong-willed and wants to compete for the top position, it doesn't matter if she suffers a little grievance temporarily.

When you come back, sister will let you be on top, it's okay. "

The [Wealth] priesthood suddenly flashed.

Catherine's face straightened, holding her breath and listening carefully, she heard the prayers of the wealth believers coming from the blade of the scimitar:

"God of wealth, please bless me to make a fortune!"

"God, this time we are going to explore deep into the Beast Paradise of the Southern Continent, I hope you can bless us and let us return with a full load. ”

“God, please help me make a fortune, so that Miss Emily’s snobbish father will regret his decision and beg me to marry his daughter to me.”

The prayers continued one after another, and even the wishes in the field of “love” were transmitted to her.

Most of them had no specific direction, but were general prayers to wealth itself, not to mention any firm belief, but there were too many of them.

The fanatical desire for wealth itself alone made the thoughts and wishes converge into a turbulent torrent, rushing towards Catherine.

Compared with before obtaining the priesthood, it was almost an order of magnitude worse.

Holding this [Wealth] priesthood that can make people "sneer at feudal superstition and kneel in the temple of the God of Wealth", in this world, no one has more potential believers than her!

Even "betrayal is just because the price is not enough", as long as the money is enough, other people's people are completely likely to become hers.

And there are far more people praying to Catherine than some general believers.

“Great Ms. Friday, please bless me with good fortune this year and bursting orders. ”

“Praise Ms. Friday, please give me traffic and make my store business hot.”

“Ms. Friday, please let me win the ranking this month and get a good recommendation position.”

Although these prayers do not have three-part honorific names, they at least have a clear direction.

And a clear picture appeared on the surface of the scimitar. Many people were praying to a "statue". The image on it was exactly what Catherine looked like when she was Ms. Friday.

The source of the mind and will is not somewhere else, but the financial street under the clouds.

This online virtual space originally had only one street. As Byron, Catherine and generations of members continued to invite new members to join, the scale became larger and larger, and there were more and more stores.

Long before Byron went to sea, this place had almost become the second world of the extraordinary people in the old continent, and developed countless users.

The black wizards and totem gods of the Beast Paradise in the southern continent are also accelerating their entry.

Financial Street has long become a complete online and offline commercial complex that integrates dating, entertainment, trading, finance, intelligence, and other functions, which has profoundly changed the lives of all extraordinary people.

When it was combined with the Tayapan Pyramid to form Catherine's Kingdom of God, its essence was further improved and turned into a huge circular cross street.

The main body is two busy streets, with a crossroads in the middle, and the ends of the streets are twisted and connected under the rules of the Kingdom of God.

In other words, standing at the crossroads and heading in any direction, you can eventually return to the starting point, and you will definitely pass every store in the cross street during the period.

However, the number of stores now is no longer comparable to the initial makeshift team, so shopping is too inefficient and wastes customers' time.

So Catherine took the opportunity to launch the "search" service.

Financial Street is essentially a virtual and real "online store". Except for the unique number, everything else can be adjusted at will.

Therefore, ordinary tourists who do not have VIP membership level and whose consumption amount does not reach 100 pounds have to browse all the stores.

From time to time, there will even be stores that have been visited before that suddenly appear in front of you, and appear more than once.

This is an "ad insertion" service provided by the store after charging a certain fee.

As long as you recharge the basic VIP membership, you can avoid ordinary ads and turn on the pure mode.

As the membership level increases, there are also "screening similar stores", "product keyword search", "price trend changes", "multi-store price comparison service" and other services available.

At the level of Supreme VIP, you only need a thought to have the most cost-effective products or information delivered to your door.

On the contrary, the store also has its own set of membership levels.

Different levels can join different traffic pools and be listed on different recommended positions.

The "traffic" of different locations varies greatly, and the difficulty of making money is naturally the same.

Just the monthly star merchant ranking event can contribute a small fleet of heavy cruisers or a pre-dreadnought that has already started to work for Catherine and Byron.

Customers and shops recharge each other, and in the end, whether the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind depends on who spends more money.

No customer or shop knows what kind of monster they are supporting with their consumption here.

Most of the thoughts and wishes just now were provided by the merchants in the shop.

If it was before Catherine got the [Wealth] priesthood, praying to Ms. Friday would not have much effect.

But after she got the [Wealth] priesthood, praying to her again can really change her fortune in the dark.

At the very least, she can be ranked in a better position by Catherine when she buys the same traffic as others.

I dare not say anything else. On the financial street, she is an absolute financial goddess. One thought can make a millionaire, and another thought can make people bankrupt.

Catherine felt the power growing every minute and every second, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise:

"In the economic theory and marketing plan provided by Byron, this is called 'flow' or 'port'.

Whether it is an online store, a street, a community, or even a country offline, the principle is the same.

Under the propaganda of the richest people in the world, many people think that if a country, company, or ethnic group is rich, it must have an advanced system, and if it is poor, it must have a backward system.

In fact, this is completely brainwashed.

With the same national system, why are Castile and the Netherlands, which are at the node of the route, rich, and other countries that are not on the route, backward?

The same system is also in the country, so why are the coastal ports rich, and the deep inland ports backward? Are they not hardworking? Are they not smart?

This has little to do with the system. Whether you are rich or not, it mainly depends on one thing-the port.

Painting In a circle, if you are good, you are good, and if you are not good, it is okay.

On the same street, if your shop has a good "port", you should make money, but if another shop has a bad port, it will be more difficult to make money.

A certain field has received upper-level funds and policy support, which is also a man-made port. "

"Why can the richest Remit people make a fortune?

That is because the church prohibits its believers from engaging in the usury industry, which allows them to take advantage of the loophole. How can monopoly not make money?

This has nothing to do with whether the system is advanced or not, or whether the nation is smart.

Saying that a nation that has been wandering for more than a thousand years and has no friends in the world is smart is simply the biggest joke since this era.

In the business field, whoever controls the flow and port controls the right to allocate resources, that is, controls the [wealth] priesthood itself! "

Catherine has been using her own power and [wealth] priesthood to comprehend the rules and prepare to formulate her own promotion ceremony to the sixth-level demigod.

Thinking of this, she blinked her bright eyes:

"Why not set my demigod promotion ceremony as: making it easy to do business all over the world? Hehe."

This sentence was of course a joke.

She felt that the online store on the financial street was still too childish. Perhaps only by swinging the [Financial Holy Sword] and brewing the world's first financial tsunami could she really be sent to the position of demigod.

Next, we will see which country is blind and takes the initiative to send itself to her and volunteer to become the battlefield of the financial war.

[Financial Queen] Catherine is positioned as a logistics staff, but anyone who dares to underestimate her lethality will cry very ugly.

At this time, the bell of the central auction house rang three times in a row.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The "main course" used to entertain a group of bigwigs today finally came to the table.

The archbishop of the new and old churches; the vice president of the Lighthouse Federation; the princes, dukes, and governors of various countries; the notorious pirate king; the famous fifth-level legend. All gathered together.

Today's auction was unprecedented in scale.

In order to save the big shots' time, the ordinary items were immediately bought by their followers as soon as they were brought up, and the auction moved forward quickly.

In order to make a grand finale, these were ordinary items that had been sold many times in previous auctions. Clearing out the inventory at one time allowed Catherine to make a fortune.

Of course, these were just small items.

Finally, when there were only three items left, the auctioneer walked off the stage sweating profusely, and was replaced by Ms. Friday, who was wearing a mask.

All the guests straightened their faces, full of expectation, and the air in the hall froze.

Everyone knew that Mr. Wednesday and Ms. Friday were the masters of the financial street.

But no one could be sure of their true identities, only that they were powerful and well-connected.

The representatives of major forces sat here today to personally verify whether the "Secret Treasure of the East Continent" indicated on the invitation letter was worthy of its name.

"Everyone has been waiting for a long time, please check the samples."

Catherine did not say much nonsense, and with a wave of her hand, a full 32 pounds of [Fairy Dust] in a sack appeared on the stage.

Each of them gave a gram of sample to the senior members for them to try.

Hoo——!

Listening to the exclamations of the people in the hall after checking the fairy dust, Catherine smiled:

"As you can see.

Ten days ago, [King of the Wild Hunt] His Majesty Byron Lancaster took the lead in completing the development of the second circulation belt.

And unlike the earlier [Whale Hunter] His Majesty Jack Harold, who went without news, he not only drew a nautical chart, but also sent back these "local specialties" of the East Continent through the Financial Street.

In addition to the 32 pounds of fairy dust, this auction also comes with the place of origin, and the starting price is 100,000 pounds."

As soon as the voice fell, the bids came one after another.

"One hundred and five thousand pounds!"

"One hundred and ten thousand pounds!"

"."

Compared to the previous calm, this time a group of people were arguing fiercely.

[Fairy Dust] is widely used in the production of strange objects, the configuration of potions, the improvement of the spirituality of beasts, etc., and even just allowing mortals to gain the ability to fly by applying it on their bodies, the demand is very large.

There is no worry about sales at all, and it is not a loss to stock up more.

The most important thing is the origin!

Looking at the output measured in sacks, His Majesty the King of the Wild Hunt might have discovered a ready-made vein of fairy dust, right?

Wealth! Unparalleled wealth!

The output of fairy dust alone made everyone determined to accelerate the exploration of the East Continent.

In the end, this bag of fairy dust was auctioned off by the wealthy Star Moon Empire for 520,000 pounds.

Others didn't care about regrets, and were attracted by the next item of more than a dozen [Soul Gems].

When Catherine finished introducing their effects, everyone's breathing began to accelerate.

"Huff. Huff"

There was a sound of wind in the auction hall.

Whether it was the fifth-order high sequence or the third- and fourth-order middle sequence, they all had the same expression.

You have to know that the legends of the old continent are just mortals in the final analysis.

The taboo system can also be driven by the variables of countless believers to continuously improve their spirituality, but they don't even have this means, and can only rely on themselves from beginning to end.

More than those upper wizards, they are more eager for this treasure.

More importantly, now even the church clergy are learning forbidden knowledge regardless of the ban, let alone them?

Everyone is seeking immortality.

With this treasure, learning forbidden knowledge can make rapid progress easily.

When you reach the fourth-level mythical creature, you can greatly extend your lifespan.

As long as you can get enough soul gems, it is definitely not impossible to fight.

This is the real version of the simplified "immortality potion"!

Byron, a "genius" who has been rapidly honed and improved in whirlpools, still underestimated the attraction of [Soul Gems] to those "student scum" who have been unable to make any progress for decades.

More than a dozen [Soul Gems] were divided into five groups and were taken by the New and Old Churches, the Holy Silver Empire, the Star-Moon Empire, and the Kingdom of Castile.

Others were not too disappointed. As long as they were sure that the efficacy was true, they would immediately set off for the East Continent.

Others have money, I have a life.

No one thinks that their life is not strong enough, and they can definitely return with a full load.

Then, Catherine took out the last item, pushing the atmosphere to a climax:

"The third item. The latest nautical chart drawn by Miss Delia, the royal navigator of His Majesty the King of the Wild Hunt.

The main dangers have been cleared, and the safety of the large fleet can be guaranteed by a fourth-level hero-level entourage.

The starting price is 100,000 pounds"

With the previous two treasures as a foil, the big forces were immediately crazy.

Perhaps the adventure ship can explore slowly, but with this nautical chart, a large-scale fleet can set sail directly.

Even if you are one day ahead of others, you can make a lot of money!

They may not be willing to fight with their families to defend the continent, but they are more active than anyone else to burn, kill and plunder for the sake of benefits.

What's more, it is a great secret treasure that is more tempting than gold, silver, spices, and whale oil. This is a chance for immortality in disguise.

Don't say it's them. As long as there are one or two confirmed fairy mountains overseas, no emperor can ban the sea!

So, just as Byron expected, the auction here has not ended yet, and the entire Silver Continent outside is boiling.

For the powerful nations of the Old World, this is the one piece of the Age of Discovery.

The King of the Wild Hunt: "Want those secret treasures? Go, the secret treasures I found are there!"

The excited crowd did not know that a certain Pirate King sacrificed himself to open the Great Age of Pirates, and a certain Pirate King was forced to sacrifice himself to the evil forces for the sake of all mankind.
