Pirate Kingship

Byron is a master of avatars. The two of them currently located in the Corridor of Truth did not rush to respond to the invitation sent by the Fire Worship Empire, nor were they even prepared to go back.

One is responsible for guarding Queen Elizabeth's palace in the Lighthouse Federation's desert empire, while the other is to accompany the "Golden Deer" on its voyage around the world.

They just ordered the heavily armed cruiser fleet to slowly move back, and clean up the third circulation zone along the way.

Anyway, with my father-in-law and the [Pirate City], [Fearless], and [Blue Dragon King] in charge of holding the battle, there is no need to worry about problems on the way.

It took the father-in-law whale hunter Jack Harold and his Black Pearl more than ten years to make the difficult journey from Anchor Bay to the Mermaid Kingdom step by step.

If I hadn't crossed the river by stroking his tail, I wouldn't have been able to reach this point in just a few years.

Therefore, my father-in-law and his [Black Pearl] deserve the supreme honor of being the first person to clear the Echidna Triangle Gyre, and his contribution to mankind should always be remembered by all countries.

Byron was proud of himself and left his face to his father-in-law without hesitation.

Anyway, he still has another honor to win.

After conquering the [Winter Tyrant] and appointing him as the escort of the third gyre zone, and responsible for monitoring the movements of Tiamat, the hundred-headed dragon mother, he took Violet back to Port of Farview.

Continue to study and debug the "artificial ship spirit", and urge the local arsenal to work overtime to produce various munitions needed by the Lighthouse Federation.

The nine Byrons in three continents are all seizing the time to exercise.

Every Byron's experience and training results will be brought together, just like normal people practice arm strength, waist strength, and levator exercises separately.

At night, I do sit-ups, minor triad, dual opposition, and then practice the "ethereal world" after entering the sage time. In daily life, I keep jumping into the sea.

The height continues to rise. He can clearly feel the all-round progress every day at 1,000 meters, 1,100 meters, and 1,200 meters. This is his greatest motivation.

"Even ordinary people who work like cows and horses don't need any powerful golden fingers. As long as they can digitize their daily gains, they can see how much progress they make every day and how far they are from achieving their goals.

The probability of success can be dozens of percentage points higher than before.

This is the charm of the game! The preparations for the opening ceremony are already 70% complete. "

Among the three prerequisites for the promotion of demigods, the most critical main priesthood [change] is already in place.

The other two conditions are to sublimate 25 points of spirituality into immortal divinity;

As well as more than a million believers, the Kingdom of God must gather at least 1,000 dependents [Storm Angels], so that they can jointly promote the ascension of the Kingdom of God, rising from the edge of the world to the material world.

Byron doesn't need to worry about his dependents. As long as the religious war continues, his dependents can slowly gather together, and the number of believers has already exceeded 1 million dozens of times.

To sublimate [Immortal Divinity], you need to obtain relevant authority and priesthood and continue to perform your duties. Spirituality and immortality can be gradually integrated after being beaten by power and blessed by the believers' thoughts and wishes.

This work is not difficult, it is just a matter of time and effort.

This process can also be greatly accelerated by swallowing the [Soul Gems] mined from the Rust Belt.

They don't need to mine it themselves. Queen Marie has helped all three of them prepare the high-quality inventory collected by the Desert Empire over the years.

Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind!

They were not kept waiting for long. A few days later, John Hawkins, the kingdom's guardian [Lord of the Nest], who was repeatedly urged by Byron, brought his cousin Derek Francis to Yuanwang Port.

Accompanying him are Hawkins' ghost ship [The Screaming Banshee] and his wife, ghost Jenny.

The guardian of the kingdom doesn't have many other pursuits or hobbies besides fishing.

With food and accommodation on the boat, he could move at any time, and his wife was 100% supportive of his fishing hobby. Hawkins felt that there was nothing better than this.

His lifelong dream is to become a technical angler who can specialize in giant fish and catch the largest and most precious fish in the world.

Being able to challenge the big fish in the stormy ocean made his heart surge and he was extremely excited.

He still understands the truth that "the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish."

Hawkins, the real undead knight, and his ghost wife Qin Se are in harmony with each other, making their cousin Derek Francis on the ship more and more redundant.

Before leaving, Byron patted him on the shoulder:

"Mr. Francis, when we complete our circumnavigation this time, you can report to the Admiralty.

It’s time for a dignified fourth-level lighthouse sequence navigator and third-level great wizard to take on his own role.

I believe that your name, [Evil Dragon] Drake, will be heard throughout the sea sooner or later. "

Drake immediately straightened his back, saluted Byron and said excitedly:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Who in the entire empire doesn’t know that the Imperial Royal Navy has the most future now? The king's right hand is the most valued?

By the time this round-the-world voyage is completed, he should be able to become a close official of the emperor.

Your Majesty, you don’t need to make this cake, I’ll do it myself!

"Let's go."

Byron gave the order.

The legendary battleship [Golden Deer] and ghost ship [Screaming Banshee] are all the way south from Yuanwang Port.

Around Cape Agulhas at the southernmost end of the Corridor of Truth, continue eastward and northward, and sail along the relatively calm "Serpent of the World, Celestial Circulation Zone" into the Ocean of Storms.

At their speed, if there is no continent in the depths of the Storm Ocean on the other side, it may only take more than two months to see the west coast of the Beast Paradise.

Of course, this is not what Byron wants to see.

In addition to wanting to open up new overseas territories and become a complete [Sun King].

There is also an inexplicable expectation in his heart, wanting to see if there is another familiar ancient civilization in the far east of this world.

In addition to the necessary naval soldiers and Deathwing, the sailors on the ship only brought the commander of the Guards, the honest man Eight Fingers, and a fourth-level incarnation of Violet.

Other officers Bruch, Gus, Alfred and his party have all returned to the North Sea Empire with the fleet.

Circumnavigation is important, but it is the center of the power struggle among the top human beings in the future.

After a few days, when the [Whale Hunter] and his [Black Pearl] returned victoriously and returned to the Iron Anchor Bay of the North Sea, their reputation shocked the continent.

Byron, who had been staying in the capital Kingston, appeared in front of people with the fleet to prove that his "real body" had also successfully returned to the empire.

Pushing open the gate of the Kingdom of Flower Mountain, Violet's real body walked out directly from inside.

With the Kingdom of God as a transit station, bulk cargo transportation can also be easily achieved, and it is very convenient to travel between the two sides.

In addition, although Byron no longer has the distinction between the real body and the incarnation, as an emperor, every move has a huge impact.

A decent welcoming ceremony is still needed.

Hosted by Catherine, a grand celebration banquet was held at Ganquan Palace.

Byron met with Marquis Thomas Neville of Hattings, Earl Hollanda of Yongye Peninsula, and other members of the Demon Banquet Parliament, several archbishops of the Royal Church, and a group of important officials of the empire.

He only talked about his coronation [Crown], and the fact that the Mermaid Kingdom and other underwater kingdoms that were being rebuilt became tributary countries.

For the time being, he did not disclose the news that he had obtained a large number of priesthoods and was planning to be promoted to a demigod.

He did not even reveal that he was captured by the queen, that she had a son and a daughter, and that he had successfully established the Lighthouse Federation. He was prepared to use information asymmetry to severely pit those hostile forces.

Even if only a few pieces of information were revealed, the entire North Sea Empire was already in jubilation.

"Long live!"

"Praise His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Praise the Holy Spirit Messiah!"

Countless cheers rang out from Ganquan Palace, spreading through the Lighthouse Matrix and newspapers to all the imperial territories along the coast of the entire North Sea.

Even the great cause that the ancestor pirate emperor [Blue Dragon King] Reinhardt had not achieved was now realized in Byron's hands.

The centripetal force and cohesion of the five countries of the former Bay Republic have risen unprecedentedly, and even the original willpower has skyrocketed.

The identity of the citizens of the five countries has faded, and everyone is proud of being a citizen of the North Sea Empire.

After the abolition of the original feudal lord system, it has completely taken a key step in the transformation and upgrading of the country, and centralization has been achieved naturally.

By the way, from hardware to software, it has been fully built into a modern nation-state, with a real concept of home and country, rather than a group of scattered lords under the rule of the church in the past.

Find a foreigner who can't even speak the native language to be the king? It's ridiculous.

The whole country was lively for three days, and the high emotions gradually subsided.

Byron returned to government affairs.

During this period, there were many Byrons scattered around, and everything was normal in the empire, and nothing major happened.

The top leaders of the imperial power center knew that their majesty's body was out, but they could see the incarnation every day, which was equivalent to never leaving, and there would be no mess.

There are a lot of good news.

At present, the key project that the upper echelons of the empire are focusing on is comprehensive industrialization.

The dumping of large-scale industrial products such as wool textiles, cotton cloth, nails, bagasse paper, etc. is still accelerating.

Although it is midsummer in August, the small handicraft workshops in the surrounding countries, especially the Kingdom of the Netherlands, have ushered in the biting winter ahead of time.

Under Catherine's promotion, the promotion ceremony of the three demigods was carried out in an orderly manner, and it would take time to slowly gestate.

The shipyards in Shannon Port, Clare County and Portsmouth Port, Hampshire, have already started production.

Violet's incarnation has specially set up the highest level of puzzle locks.

After the empire was upgraded, the strength of the iron law of the king's power reached the upper limit of the material world, and there was no need to worry about the secrets being discovered by intelligence personnel from other countries.

In addition, the third- and fourth-level whale oil mechanics brought by Violet worked overtime.

With the current production capacity of all shipyards, the first batch of ten dreadnought-class steam battleships should be delivered before the end of October.

By that time, even if the church does not turn against him, Byron will take the initiative to overturn the table.

Putting down the report in his hand, his eyes flashed coldly:

"How can we manage the politics of the human empire with this group of insects?

Let you live a few more days for the time being, and when the fleet is in place, you will be able to distinguish between the big and small kings.

I have tolerated you for a long time."

Byron stayed in Ganquan Palace for half a month, and also gave his two unborn daughters half a month of prenatal education classes, and then set off again.

With the "Pirate City" as the flagship, he led a "inter-ship fleet" consisting of twelve heavily armed cruisers and started a friendly visit to the Sassanid Empire of the Zoroastrian Empire.

Starting from the North Sea Empire in the northeast corner of the Dragon King's Court, they crossed the entire Inter-Sea from east to west and arrived at the Zoroastrian Empire on the west coast.

In the middle, they unexpectedly encountered a naval battle between the fleets under the command of the Twin Kings of Castile and the Sultan of the Star-Moon Empire [Lord of Two Lands and Two Seas] Muhammad II.

The fleets of both sides tacitly gave way to the route, and the flagships of the two countries also politely raised flags to greet Byron, the second emperor of the Silver Continent. More than a month has passed, and his news has spread all over the world.

The upper-level game is the business of the upper class, and the middle and lower classes will only see that Saint Byron has gradually become a well-known legend or even an epic after major events.

There are countless admirers from various countries.

Byron could even clearly hear the devout believers in the fleets of both countries silently chanting the same prayer:

"The Creator is the Supreme Trinity. The Creator, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all complete gods.

The savior at the turn of the Mythological Age and the Silver Age was the Son, who was reincarnated as the Remitian Iesus.

The savior at the turn of the Silver Age and the Luyan Age was the Holy Spirit, and the possessed followers were the people of Beidiwan.

God will give you a sign. When the flood comes again, God will give him the holy name: Saint Byron for his achievements in fighting against the old gods.

The Spirit of the Creator will dwell in him, that is, the spirit of wisdom and intelligence, the spirit of strategy and power, the spirit of knowledge and fear of the Creator."

He smiled in his heart, knowing that his worshippers and believers no longer distinguished between sects, but were spread all over the continent.

The name of Saint Byron, the Holy Spirit Favored One, was completely established.

Because the three major branches of the same origin all have a similar prophecy:

"I saw in the night visions, and behold, one like the son of man came with the clouds of heaven.

He was brought before the Ancient of Days, and was given authority, glory, and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages ​​should serve him.

His authority is an everlasting authority that will not pass away, and his kingdom will not be destroyed."

The person prophesied by each church is the legendary "Messiah".

The concept of Messiah spans all religious branches and cultures of the Old World, and is reflected in the three major religions of Remitism, the Creator Church, and the Holy Spirit Church.

Although each system has different specific definitions and expectations of the Messiah, it can be simply understood as: "The ultimate savior of this world."

It's just that because the founders of each religion did not clearly state who this savior was, it became one of the fundamental contradictions in the doctrinal disputes between the three religions.

Byron wrote the same words on the core classics of the three major religions through the bagasse paper bound holy relic [Key of Omniscience], which also became the key link between the three major religions.

He also got the strong claim of "making people from all parties, countries and races serve him"!

The more contributions Byron made to mankind, the louder his reputation, the more people believed that he was the Messiah, and the stronger his power would be.

In particular, he claimed to be the [Holy Spirit] who was equal to the Creator, and his influence on the Holy Spirit countries that worshipped the Holy Spirit was naturally the strongest.

"Once my status as the Holy Spirit is established, the fundamental differences between the orthodox path faction and the followers will no longer exist.

[The founder] is just a prophet. No matter who his successor is, how can he compare with the Holy Spirit who is God?

The assist from the Zoroastrian Empire came at the right time.

I just hope they are really sincere, and I will not hesitate to help them."

Byron's fleet soon encountered the escort fleet sent by Nasser al-Din, the current king of the Sassanid Empire.

The two sides arrived at the Zoroastrian Empire, Susa, located on the north coast of the sea and the west coast of the continent.

The waves were rippling and the sky was clear.

Byron stood on the bow, looking at the ancient city built by the sea.

His "All Things Return to One" exceeded 10%, and his resonance with the [Ten Thousand Winged Angel] also reached a qualitative change, and the temperament of the [Holy Spirit] on his body became more and more intense.

The progress of using the false to cultivate the true is at least half completed, even if the most devout believer and legendary prophet comes, he will definitely not see any flaws.

When looking at this land from afar, you can clearly feel the surging and flowing thoughts and wishes above the city, and strongly resonate with the person of the [Holy Spirit].

"The religious atmosphere here is very fanatical, worthy of being a country with a combination of politics and religion.

Without the internal struggle between theocracy and royal power, the power that the upper class can control is far beyond the imagination of the monarchs of the East Coast countries.

The Sultan of the Star-Moon Empire and the Shah of the Zoroastrian Empire are both secular and spiritual rulers. Saints did not participate in the Crusades, and they are stronger than ordinary kings.

Under the Sultan/Shah, there are elders, chief religious judges, and religious judges from all over the country, which is similar to the clergy system on the East Coast, but most of them have strong political power.

In this land, the spiritual conquerors are destined to become material conquerors.

For me, the rules of the game are much simpler."

However, when he saw that the one who welcomed him at the port was the great elder who was second only to King (Shah) Nasser al-Din, and the standard seemed very high, he was still a little dissatisfied.

"Tsk, are you only receiving me as a religious of the Holy Spirit Church, leaving room for the king of higher status to not show up for the time being?

Whether it's an alliance or establishing diplomatic relations, there's nothing wrong with this arrangement. Whether it's a success or a failure, we can talk about it later.

But I came all the way here, I can't return empty-handed."

Byron's heart moved, and for the first time he completely released 10% of the unity of all things, leading to the arrival of the person and power of the [Ten Thousand Wings Angel].

The next moment.

clang! clang! clang!

The bells from heaven rang throughout the southern coastal areas of the Fire Worship Empire, or more accurately, rang through the hearts of all Holy Spirit believers.

"What happened?"

"Look!"

Any extraordinary person who has awakened his spirituality, as long as he turns on his spiritual vision and takes a look at Jianhai in the south, he can't help but lower his head subconsciously.

Only mid- to high-sequence extraordinary beings can truly see it clearly. Unlike the Creator Church, which advocates silver-white holy light, a luxurious white-gold holy light floods the coast of Jianhai.

It was as if a dazzling sun had risen in the spiritual world.

As the fleet gets closer, the light becomes brighter and brighter.

Even ordinary people who don't even know the word, as long as they are pious enough, can follow the anchor chain of faith and see the warm sun.

You can even feel a figure with ten thousand wings turning its gaze towards you.

Then the healing power came to their bodies.

An extremely kind voice sounded in their hearts:

"My children, your piety is worthy of my blessing!"

The hearts of the devout believers lit up with light spots one after another, and then filled their bodies.

Unlike the orthodox holy light of the three major religions, it generally does not involve the physical body except to stimulate the vitality of one's own life and accelerate the healing of trauma.

But this time it was different. The broken limbs would not be reborn, but the minor illnesses and injuries, virus infections, broken bones and tendons, etc. all disappeared in an instant.

Countless people, with tears in their eyes, worshiped from afar and shouted:

"The Holy Spirit is coming!"

"The Holy Spirit is coming!"

"Praise be to St. Byron!"

The devout worship of countless people further boosted Byron's momentum, and the divine glow above his head became even more intense.

Suddenly: the Holy Spirit descended on the west coast, and the golden light spread for thirty thousand miles!

The believers who lived in the royal city walked out of their homes looking for the light in their hearts and flocked to the port.

There is even a crippled old man who is a fanatical believer and throws away his crutches and runs so fast that even if his children chase after him, he cannot catch up.

"Being able to worship the Holy Spirit in person, I will have no regrets even if I die."

No matter what kind of thoughts those high-level extraordinary beings had, they were all dumbfounded, and then they woke up like they were dreaming.

"Quickly, gather my ministers, I am going to greet His Majesty Saint Byron in person!"

When King Naser al-Din saw the commotion in the city, he no longer thought about political rules and immediately decided to greet it in person.

In a corner of the palace, a girl covering her face with a red gauze retracted her gaze, turned to look at the shadows under her feet, and said in her heart:

"Assassin, the target this time is indeed the real person, not a substitute or incarnation.

But can such a person really be killed?

And even if we can kill him on this land, what should our Fire Worship Empire do? "

The girl's emerald eyes were obviously confused.

The shadows under my feet did not change at all, but the voice of [Old Man of the Mountain] Assassin sounded from it:

"After the Star-Moon Empire retook the Holy City of the Three Religions, it became too powerful and ambitious. Your father, King Naser al-Din, is in urgent need of a strong foreign aid.

I just used the influence of the Assassin Party's 'Followers' Party to give him a push and make him completely determined.

The invitation to St. Byron was real, and so was the enthusiasm of the Fire Worshiping Empire.

Except for ourselves, everyone thought that the major branches of the Followers had fully supported Saint Byron and jointly fought against the Orthodox Roadists.

Therefore, even if we kill him, no one will suspect us. They will only think that it is the heretics of the 'Orthodox Road Sect' who secretly killed him.

Even the North Sea Empire left behind by St. Byron will actively cooperate with us. "

He paused for a moment before continuing to sneer:

"Oh, as for whether it can be killed?

The [Holy Son] was crucified on the cross at the beginning of the era when the Creator was most powerful.

What's more, now, 1,500 years later? What is the Holy Spirit? People will die if they are killed!

But it seems that the 72 virgins arranged in advance are no longer needed. Their essence is evil spirits bound by the secret realm. When encountering this kind of holy light, they will only turn into ashes on the spot.

But luckily I still have your trump card.

My dear, go find a chance to spend one night with him.

You are my father's disciple and one of the best assassins of your generation. You should be aware of the essence of: 'Nothing can be eternal, and means have no shackles'.

Although we have made an engagement, you have always abided by the religious rituals and are still a beautiful virgin. That kind of lustful person will definitely fall into your beauty trap. "

When Assassin saw the girl opening her mouth to say something, her voice became cold and hard:

"Have you forgotten?

For an assassin, the mission is more important than life!

Don't worry, as long as I advance to become a demigod, you will have eternal life in my kingdom of God, and I will love you as I did in the past.

We will live together forever in our paradise. "

"All right."

The girl silently agreed, walked out of the palace like other devout believers, and joined King Naser al-Din's welcoming team as they rushed to the port.

Assassin hid in the girl's shadow.

With the help of the [Assassination] priesthood, he will not reveal any flaws, and no one will be able to detect his existence before sending out the comet strike.

Especially in the Zoroastrian Empire, the earthly domain of the former master of the [Assassination] priesthood, even the Creator is a latecomer, not to mention the Holy Spirit.

This time, I am willing to sacrifice my fiancée and must kill Saint Byron!
