Pirate Kingship

The black-robed man wearing a skull mask raised his hand to send a signal, and something in the sky above the secret valley fluctuated.

The circling swift eagle seemed to have finally found its target, and turned into a black arrow and swooped down from the sky.

When it was three meters away from the black-robed man, a red aura flashed on his body, and he turned into a young assassin wearing a white hooded robe and hidden blades tied to his wrists.

It was obvious that in addition to the assassin profession in the arena sequence, he also studied the taboo knowledge of the indigenous people, "The Book of the Beast Family".

After landing lightly, he immediately knelt on one knee in front of the black-robed man, bowed his head deeply, and handed over a commission letter with a bright red dagger on it with both hands:

"Lord Assassin, an unidentified client quietly threw this mission letter to our base.

Originally, we didn't pay the deposit according to the rules, so we didn't intend to pay attention to it.

But after checking the letter, we confirmed that the envelope contained a hateful gold coin left by the first generation [Old Man in the Mountain] Assassin 700 years ago.

The last time the hateful gold coin appeared was eighty years ago, and the elders of the base dared not make a decision on their own.

We can only ask you how to deal with it."

The black-robed man called Lord Assassin is the [Old Man in the Mountain] of this generation and the leader of all Eagle Nest assassins.

He subconsciously pinched the envelope with his fingers wearing black gloves. The sharp senses given to him by the fifth-level legendary assassin allowed him to instantly find out what was in the envelope.

Even the material, weight, and pattern of the coin were clearly felt.

"It's really a hateful gold coin!"

The body suddenly shook.

After confirming that there was no witchcraft trap, he quickly opened the wax seal without any seal marks and poured out a brilliant gold coin from it.

It is different from any gold coin of any country circulating on the market.

On the front is an eagle holding a bloody hidden blade, and on the back is a circle of inscriptions:

"Only the purpose is concerned, and the means are unscrupulous!"

[Old Man in the Mountain] stroked the gold coin, and his sharp eyes were a little absent-minded.

"At the beginning, the first generation of ancestors sent out a total of seven hateful gold coins, representing the eternal promise of assassins like gold. Each gold coin can allow the Assassins to complete an assassination mission unconditionally.

In the past seven hundred years, we have used hidden blades to recover them one by one.

This is the last gold coin. After seven hundred years, our branch of the Holy Spirit Church, the Assassins, have finally gathered them again.

We only need to complete this last task to complete the ceremony!"

Everyone knows that the church that believes in the Creator has been divided since its birth.

With the birth of the Son of God, the "Church of the Creator" first began to separate from the "Remitism" that believed in the "Father of God" and set up its own sect.

They soon occupied the dominant position of the religious system of the Old World, and reached its peak in the fourth century, when the east coast of the continent was full of church states.

Then the Church of the Creator followed the "Oracle" and assisted the "Bound Creator" in controlling the water by blocking, which opened the dark age of the east coast for a thousand years.

Next, around the seventh century of the Silver Age, a [founder] Kasim on the west coast received "divine revelation" and established the "Holy Spirit Church" with the same origin outside the Remitism and the Creator Church.

They believed in the "Father of God", the "Son of God", and the "Holy Spirit", and so on, completely established the pattern that the three religions were originally one family.

But after the death of this [founder], the Holy Spirit Church immediately split into the "Orthodox Path Faction" and the "Followers Faction".

The differences between the two mainly came from their inheritance rights to the Imam (leader).

The Orthodox Path sect believes that religious leaders should be elected by the masses and should not be hereditary. This sect has the widest influence. The Star-Moon Empire, the most powerful country on the west coast, belongs to this sect.

The Followers sect believes that the leader should be inherited by the descendants of the founder.

This difference has led to differences in religious rituals and beliefs between the two sects, and even mutual hostility and hatred. The blood feud between them is even deeper than the Crusaders who launched nine westward expeditions!

Then, with the inheritance of the sects, the two major sects continued to split.

Until today, there are hundreds of branch sects of various sizes, such as the Kaysanid sect, the Zayd sect, the Ismaili sect, the Twelver Imam sect, etc.

The Assassins are one of the subordinate branches of the "Nizari sect" under the "Seven Imams sect" under the "Followers sect".

How to say it, although it feels a bit crowded here and there is no room for so many sects, the fact is that just like the Creator who is constantly splitting, the split will never end!

As a professional killer organization and terrorist in the sect, the Assassins were born as early as 700 years ago, and were founded by the first generation of [Old Man in the Mountain] Hassan Sabbah.

Since then, this terrifying "title" has been circulated within the Assassins.

Each generation of [Old Man in the Mountain] is the blood descendant of Hassan, and each generation has a fifth-level legendary rank, but no one knows their true face or even their real name.

It was also the first generation of Old Man in the Mountain who forged seven hateful gold coins, as a proof that the Assassins must complete the task 100% at all costs, and each was given to a friend or friendly force who provided him with great help.

In the long period of 700 years, descendants have slowly recovered six coins, and the [Eagle's Nest Assassins] of the Assassins have also completed six assassination missions that shocked the entire continent at a huge cost.

Until today, the long-cherished wish of every generation of "Old Man in the Mountain" has finally been fulfilled.

How could the 35th generation of Old Man in the Mountain not be excited?

The face of the [Old Man in the Mountain] under the skull mask showed a trace of sneer:

"We only know that we will complete the commission of the Hateful Gold Coin at all costs, but no one knows why we do this.

The holders of these gold coins think that they have taken advantage of the Assassins, but in fact, you have built a perfect stage for the Assassins to dance in the long river of history."

The hooded assassin who was kneeling on the ground could not help but remind again after finding that the black-robed man did not respond for a long time:

"Lord Assassin? Do you want to send a signal to accept the mission?"

The old man in the mountain did not even look at who the mission target in the envelope was, and nodded decisively:

"Send a signal to the employer.

No matter who the target is, our Assassins' commitment to assassination will never waver. This is a golden reputation forged by the lives of dozens of generations of ancestors over 700 years.

Nothing in the world is more valuable than the promise of our Assassins!"

The hooded assassin nodded in response, flashed and turned into a swift eagle again, soaring into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.

[Old Man in the Mountain] has reason to be proud.

Countless victories have made generations of mountain elders develop the habit of assassinating without asking who the target is, but only where he is, because no matter who they want to kill, they will definitely find an opportunity to kill him.

Even the saints of the church have to admit this.

Why is this assassin organization so powerful? Just look at the reserve Eagle Nest assassins who are drunk and dreaming in the secret valley below and it will be clear.

Each generation of mountain elders will select reserve assassins who have awakened their spirituality from the outside world, use drugs or extraordinary abilities to knock them out, and then send them to this incomparably beautiful secret valley.

The land flows with milk and honey, and there are seventy-two virgins to play with at will.

In the Elborz Mountains where the living conditions of the middle and lower classes are very difficult, this is the paradise described in the scriptures of the Holy Spirit Church!

Let them enjoy it here for a while, see their potential and cultivation value, no longer than one month, and then knock them out and release them again.

Tell them that you have been to heaven before, as long as you work hard to assassinate the target for the Assassins and are not afraid of sacrifice, you can return to heaven after you die.

At this moment, the assassins' hormones exploded, their eyes turned green, and they even saw death as home and took it as pleasure.

When assassinating, everyone was fearless, just to die early and return to heaven to continue to enjoy.

Therefore, all the assassins from the Assassins were like crazy, only seeking success and not sparing their lives, and no assassins of the same level could be compared with them.

In this case, they could even endure all kinds of harsh environments that ordinary people could never endure, just to pursue the opportunity of killing with one blow.

For example, they embedded themselves in a wall with only one breathing hole, did not eat, drink, or move, and waited for a month. When the mission target approached, they blew out poison arrows, and the target died without knowing where the attack came from.

Or soak the whole body in the smelly sewage, breathe only with a reed tube, and kill the target with one blow while he was going to the toilet.

The latter method has a very high success rate, and the target will die in extreme humiliation and pain.

Because in the past, the walls of the castle would be designed with protruding defense facilities, part of which would be used for military purposes, and the other part would be used as toilets.

After using the toilet, the things will fall directly into the moat along the passage or outer wall.

At this time, the Eagle's Nest assassins will use a spear to directly stab the toilet users from bottom to top, with the white spear tip in and the yellow spear tip out, or the white spear tip in and the green spear tip out, and it has been tried and tested.

Who can resist such assassins?

Even if they can resist for one day, can they resist for ten days, thirty days, or a hundred days? No matter what you do, you have to be on guard against assassins, and it can drive people crazy.

In the past, they killed the prime minister of the Seljuk Empire and two Abbasid emperors, making the subsequent emperors afraid to appear in public.

Basically, they kill whoever they are unhappy with, and gradually began to accept paid services. Countless politicians from various countries have been killed.

For quite a long time, all countries were terrified of the Assassins.

Even the word Assassin in the common language is derived from "Assassin", which shows their prestige.

Although the Crusaders broke through the Eagle's Nest stronghold and looted the training methods and pre-knowledge during the Western Expedition, the profession of [Phantom Blade] in the Kingdom of Hastings is a variant of the Eagle's Nest Assassin.

However, the vitality of this organization is extremely tenacious, and it will obviously not disappear just because a stronghold is removed.

It has been passed down to the 35th generation [Old Man in the Mountain], and it is still very famous in the Silver Continent.

For hundreds of years, they have made friends with the upper class and have become a powerful political force in the "Followers" of the Holy Spirit Church, which can influence the political power of many Holy Spirit Church countries on the west coast.

Even the strongest upper class of the Star-Moon Empire has their supporters and agents.

"The time has come, send them all out."

[Old Man in the Mountain] gave an order to the 72 virgins in the secret realm.

After watching the naked beauties quietly and calmly knock out the assassins, he unfolded the letter in his hand and saw the mission target.

The next moment.

"Hiss!"

Even with the arrogance of [Old Man in the Mountain], he still couldn't help but gasp when he saw the name clearly, and his eyes flashed fiercely: "The Emperor of the North Sea Empire single-handedly reintegrated the five nations of the Gulf to establish the North Sea Empire, and united The supreme [Crown] Byron Lancaster?

this."

In fact, he has been mentally prepared. Every gold coin containing hatred has changed the pattern of the continent to a certain extent and has had a far-reaching impact. Anyone who is not a big shot does not deserve to be killed by them.

So even though the target of this mission is the current sultan (approximately equal to the king) of the Star-Moon Empire, Muhammad II, who completely recaptured the Holy City in 1453 and is known as the "Lord of Two Lands and Two Seas".

The old people in the mountains all look at him without changing their expressions.

But at this moment, it seemed that the person who was numb was not the dead soldiers, but himself, and his whole body was numb.

"How could the target be him? Who is the hirer?"

Every killer organization must first be an intelligence organization with extremely well-informed information.

It took dozens of generations to forge the Assassin sect's illustrious reputation, and they know better than anyone else how every bit of legend among the legends on the Silver Continent came from.

This record of assassinating targets is really brutal.

When he was a pirate, he almost killed the Puppet King, thus becoming the Pirate King [The Uncrowned King].

Then he regained the throne of Hadings, unified the five nations of the Gulf, and withstood two colonial wars between the Abaddon Secret Cult and the six Old God Churches.

It solved the two six-level "natural disasters" of Kraken's Touch and Noah's Ark at once, and was the first to completely open up the second circulation zone.

Protestantism has even taken the lead in recognizing that he is the Messiah and the favored one of the Holy Spirit.

The number of fifth-level high-sequence or equivalent combat power who died in his hands has been well documented, and the number is close to double digits.

The intelligence department of the Assassin faction has made statistics. He probably killed many more people in just a few years after his debut than his own Assassin faction had assassinated in dozens of generations.

This emperor stepped on countless corpses in war after war before he took off the second [Crown] of the Silver Continent.

"The most important thing is that he is young!

A big river often overflows and changes its course. A village has been on the east side of the river for thirty years and on the west side of the river for thirty years. Youth represents infinite possibilities.

Especially this kind of existence that has already shown its prominence and soared into the sky.

I don’t know what kind of destiny I inherited from the collective subconscious of mankind. It may be an exaggeration to say that whoever stands in his way will die, but everyone is first-class and difficult to kill. "

[The Old Man in the Mountain] seems to have recalled some not-so-good memories.

"In the profession of assassins, we encounter too many characters favored by fate. Some prophets even jokingly called them: protagonists of the era.

Although his whole family was dead, he survived; a knife penetrated his heart, but his heart grew on the right side; he was chased by a large group of people and jumped off a cliff. Not only did he survive, but he also obtained secret forbidden knowledge or powerful magic potions, which greatly improved his strength.

Similar examples often occur in the failure case summary reports of the Assassins.

Many bizarre things are fantasy stories to others, but to us assassins, they are horrifying realities, and every time they are fatal accidents.

Assassinating such a being is much more difficult than the elderly and unhealthy [Lord of Two Lands and Two Seas] Mohammed II. "

After a while, the old man in the mountain regained his composure, and his eyes became sharper:

"However, no target can stop the Assassin faction's hidden blade!

The ritual that started 700 years ago must not be allowed to end at this last step.

My power may be limited, but the power of the 'Old Man of the Mountain' is unlimited. "

He patted the strange storage object on his waist and took out a cursed object [the world's first glass mirror].

The mirror covered with a layer of fog reflected another exquisitely beautiful secret garden, with just a hint of dirty blood.

This is actually a world that exists in the mirror, and its degree of reality is not much different from Byron's Flower Mountain Heaven.

There are still many differences from reality in details.

The most special thing is that in the mirror, surrounded by mountains, there are thirty-four mausoleums made of huge stones.

The stone pillars in front of each mausoleum are inlaid with a skull mask that looks like his face, symbolizing the identity of the "Old Man of the Mountain".

Most of them were covered with scars and even dried blood, proving that each of them died on the road to assassination rather than on their bed of old age.

The 35th generation mountain old man did not look at his ancestors, but at the blood-red sun in this small world.

One could vaguely see a hidden sword that was constantly changing in shape, with thirty-five chains extending from it to all thirty-five [Mountain Old Men].

Every chain smelled of blood and blood.

If Byron were here, he would have discovered that this hidden sword exudes a similar aura to the [Craftsman] priesthood, which is embodied in the form of a forging hammer after losing its owner, and the [Disease] priesthood, which is embodied in the red umbrella and white-stem poisonous mushroom.

This thing is actually a demigod that has been collected for who knows how long!

The old man in the mountain looked at this priesthood, and his confidence returned to his face:

“The Assassins may be temporarily defeated, but why is it always us who wins in the end?

It’s precisely because I can’t beat my father’s generation, my father’s generation can’t beat my grandfather’s generation, and my grandfather’s generation can’t beat the first generation of mountain old men!

Nothing can be eternally true, and there are no shackles on means.

Elephants that seem invincible may also be killed by a small poisonous snake.

[Assassination Priesthood]! Tell me the biggest weakness, soft spot and the most successful assassination method of this target! "

Hearing the order, the mirror surface suddenly fluctuated violently like water.

The priesthood is almost omnipotent within the scope of its own jurisdiction.

This [Assassination Priesthood], which was accidentally captured from the world crack by the first generation of the mountain old man Hassan, perfectly matches the assassin profession.

Or it can be said that the earliest assassin profession in the Ladder of Glory sequence was born from this.

It can show its power through this cursed glass mirror, help the owner complete the assassination, and never lie.

But this time the reaction time is longer than any other time.

Just when the heart of the mountain old man was about to hang, a line of hideous blood words finally appeared on the mirror:

"In early July, Byron Lancaster fell under the beauty trap, lost his armor, lost completely, and his physical strength was exhausted to the limit.

This is the biggest defeat he has ever had since his debut, and it is also the best time to kill him. "

"An emperor lost to beauty?"

The old man in the mountain couldn't help but laugh.

Then he took a look at the 72 gorgeous virgins in his own valley secret realm, and a hint of coldness appeared at the corner of his mouth under the skull mask:

"Young people are really easy to deal with.

No one knows how to deal with such lustful people better than us old men in the mountains. I have 72 plans, 72 plans!

What good things have those emperors, sultans, and kings ever eaten? What stunning beauties have they seen?

It's nothing more than the favorite concubine of the last generation of Sultan Abraham I of the Xingyue Empire, who is 150 cm tall but weighs 92 kg.

What kind of beauty can compare to my 72 virgins?

When the time comes, I will personally take action to make him die in an extremely ugly way.

Besides, the Lancaster family has long been in decline. How can the sudden rise of one generation be able to compete with the uninterrupted hard work and accumulation of 35 generations of my Sabah family?

You are not facing the [Old Man in the Mountain], but the [Old Man in the Mountain].

As long as I kill you, the seven hateful gold coins that have permanently changed the history of the continent will forge the broadest long steps to the gods for the Sabah family! "

Time has come to the beginning of August in a blink of an eye.

Starting from the starting point, the Dolphin Bay of the Mermaid Kingdom, about one-third of the way to the third circulation belt, the north is already covered with snow.

As the summer warms up, the edge of the frozen ice sheet in the polar ice sea collapses, and numerous huge icebergs are scattered and slowly drift with the ocean currents.

At this time, between countless icebergs, two huge sailing battleships are fighting fiercely.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Cannon flames flash.

The quasi-legendary battleship [ The Blue Dragon King was refitted by Violet and her whale oil mechanics, and all the heavy guns on it were replaced with alchemical cannons seized from those whale oil warships.

The range and power were no less than that of breech-loading rifled cannons.

Under the precise control of Prince Sorenburg, a fourth-level [Storm Lord] and fourth-level [Shipbound Spirit], orange-red flames exploded one after another on the opposite ghost ship with a frosty white aura.

The latter was not to be outdone, and the entire warship was covered with A white dragon phantom.

The frost-white shells, riding the howling north wind, have a range far beyond that of ordinary sailing warships.

When they fall on the sea, the sea freezes, and when they fall on the Blue Dragon King, countless ice spikes and cold breaths burst out.

Obviously, this is the ghost ship [Glacier Kiss] that is active in the polar ice sea mentioned by the Queen.

As long as he can take down this powerful quasi-legendary warship by himself, Edmund Lancaster can be promoted to the fifth level and become a fifth-level pseudo-god-level ship spirit!

The battle was fierce, and the icebergs between the two were blown into ice crystals all over the sky, turning into gorgeous rainbows.

Byron, who was next to him, felt that this scene was very appropriate, so he hugged Violet's slender waist from behind, and stood on the bow of the steam battleship [Dreadnought] and watched the battle silently.

He grabbed a handful of melon seeds and nuts in his hand, and while eating, he stuffed the kernels into his wife's pink little mouth.

"Ah, Byron, don't you worry about your father at all? "

Violet chewed the nuts like a cute little squirrel, raised her elbow and gently poked Byron's chest.

"Ah? Is this something to worry about?

Dad's conditions are much better than when we challenged the impossible. "

Byron looked up at the other three warships that surrounded the battlefield in a triangle, the legendary warship [Dreadnought], the legendary warship [Golden Deer], and the legendary warship [Pirate City].

The soaring spiritual light almost illuminated the ice sea.

Sensing the captain's gaze, the three legendary warship spirits patted their chests together and nodded vigorously:

"Three with one, guaranteed to win!"
