Pirate Kingship

Not everyone at the scene had the extraordinary keen sense of smell like Jacqueline.

Louis XI, who was sitting with his own queen Anna, did not notice anything wrong at all.

Or it could be said that it was difficult for anything to restore the spirit of his empty eyes.

The leader of the Poor Knights once cursed him with the [Ghost Hand Knife]:

"Whoever robs the property of the Poor Knights will end up like us!

All the real estate will be lost, the power will fall apart, and the leader will be buried with his whole family!!!"

Since that day, he led the team to eliminate some members of the Poor Knights and confiscated all their real estate in the Iris Kingdom.

Louis XI has been worried and nervous, to the point of being afraid of enemies.

Even those "lovers" he loved the most were ignored.

He had been trying to comfort himself that curses were all lies, but more and more accidents happened to him:

"Once he forgot to wear a wig, and an eagle mistook his bald head for a stone. It threw a tortoise from the sky, trying to smash the tortoise shell with the hard 'stone'. Fortunately, the loyal guardian knight found him in advance and saved his life;

Another time, when he was enjoying a cockfighting performance, he was kicked in the thigh by the sharp claws of the fighting cock, cutting off the femoral artery. Fortunately, there was a mid-sequence [Crow Doctor] by his side, otherwise he would have died from excessive bleeding in just a few minutes;

Because he did not take a bath for many years and only sprayed perfume, he developed a skin disease. The doctor suggested that he wrap his whole body with linen soaked in highly distilled liquor for treatment.

But the maid forgot to bring scissors, so she picked up the candle next to her and burned off the excess thread soaked in strong liquor"

In the past six months, just like the Grim Reaper, too many similar things have happened.

Louis XI had brushed shoulders with death again and again, which made his temper more and more irritable. He would fly into a rage over trivial matters, which led to severe neurasthenia.

He had to hand over many state affairs to the red prime minister Richelieu, who was more competent than any Iris king and whose obsession was to make the country strong.

At the same time, he also left his queen Anna in the power center as a check on the prime minister.

Although he had no feelings for his queen as a woman, and even felt a little disgusted.

But in the iron law of royal power, she still retained the status of [Queen], and was the person who best represented the royal power besides him, no one else.

Louis XI didn't want to attend this wedding, he just wanted to avoid "Death coming" again and again in the heavily guarded palace, and was also dragged away by the queen.

He planned to wait until the end of the dinner and then return to the palace quickly.

"Queen, what are you reading?"

He was carefully looking around to identify all sources of danger, and suddenly found that the queen beside him was not eating, but holding a book that he didn't know where it came from and reading it with relish.

Louis XI looked down at the cover and found that the name of the book was "The Key of King Solomon".

The name sounded familiar, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that this was a book of mysticism banned by the Creator Church, and the author was the famous mythological figure: Solomon.

King Solomon was a figure in the Mythological Era, and he lived in about 990 BC in the Silver Age.

He was the king of the Remit people at that time, and the most beloved of [Father] Yahweh.

Even if the Father was not the only God Creator at that time, he was still one of the three main gods of mankind, and it goes without saying how powerful he was.

[The Key of King Solomon] is a powerful magic book written by King Solomon with the power of the True God of the Father, and the original manuscript is a zero-level holy relic.

It is said that he conquered 72 powerful beings among the one-third of the fallen angels who rebelled at the time, and recorded their names in this book.

The owner of the book can use the true names of these fallen angels and demons to drive their power.

After the Silver Age, although the Creator ate all the gods, the [Key of King Solomon] did not fail, but became more powerful.

Because when summoning the 72 demons, they only faced their swallowed divinity, without any consciousness, and the risk was greatly reduced.

[Key of King Solomon] is the treasure at the bottom of the box in the hands of the Remit Church, and is listed alongside another incomplete zero-level holy relic, the heretical book [Dead Sea Scrolls], also known as the [Dead Sea Scrolls].

Louis XI naturally did not think that a dignified zero-level holy relic would appear in the hands of his own queen.

After the end of the Dark Millennium, the ruling power of the church weakened sharply, and various taboo knowledge was passively released. It is not a big deal if a copied version of "Key of Solomon" is occasionally leaked.

However, this book is mainly used to drive fallen angels and demons, and is often related to curses, which made Louis XI, who was already deeply troubled by the curse of the ghost hand knife, frown deeply.

So, he leaned over to see what was written on the page.

"Vassago: The third of the 72 pillars of demons.

This fallen angel has a kind heart. His duty is to announce the past and the future and find all hidden and lost things.

Can guide things that are destined to happen in the future to the present.

The summoning ceremony and what actions are required as sacrifices."

Louis XI looked at the text description and suddenly felt a huge panic in his heart.

"This is... for me!

Those who are cursed by the ghost hand knife are destined to meet the end predetermined by the curser.

If this Vashak shows my future, then I... No, why would the queen want to see this kind of thing? ? ? "

But when he thought of this and was about to snatch the book from his wife's hand.

He found that the ancient text on it all moved, and countless black hands stretched out from the pages and slowly grabbed him.

Louis XI wanted to dodge, but found that he was in a nightmare at some point. Not to mention moving his body, he couldn't even take his eyes off the pages.

Watching those little hands spread to his body and face.

He wanted to use his own king's title [Spider King] to communicate the royal power of the Iris Kingdom, but found that this church had quietly opened up the divine domain at some point.

He had secretly cut off his connection with the law network, and the blockade authority was even higher than his!

Only saints can do this!

Although this is the capital of the Valois royal family, after discovering that something is wrong, he can reopen the blockade in at most half a minute.

But this series of wrong places added up to enough to make him realize the seriousness of the problem.

He couldn't help but scream in horror:

"Anna, what did you do to me? This joke is not funny. "

The beautiful queen picked up her knife and fork, slowly ate the rare, slightly bloody steak on the table, and showed a bloody horror smile:

"No, my dear majesty, this is not a joke.

If you don't cultivate a fertile land, someone else will naturally cultivate it for you. Now it's the harvest season, and you are completely useless. "

Reaching out and stroking her belly, she took off the strange ring she had been wearing on her hand and removed her disguise.

Then she actually revealed a high bulge, a big belly that was at least ten months pregnant and could give birth at any time!

Louis XI widened his eyes in disbelief, his eyes were red, and he roared at her:

"You betrayed me? Tell me, whose bastard is this? "

Queen Anna did not answer him, but the groom of the wedding next to him, Count Angoulême, stepped forward and hugged the queen's thin shoulders.

He kissed the queen's beautiful red lips regardless of the public.

It is now self-evident who the child in the queen's belly belongs to.

Buzz——!

At any banquet, the king is always the protagonist. The commotion here has long attracted the attention of others, and there was an uproar in the hall.

Louis XI's other brother-in-law, Marquis Dominic, stood up suddenly and shouted:

"How dare you insult the royal family! Are you going to..."

Before he finished speaking.

A waiter behind him suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed him in the back.

The marquis himself is a third-level [Treasure Guard]. When he was attacked, the golden armor he carried had automatically unfolded, but was pierced by the dagger that had been pre-applied with the magic-breaking effect, and did not produce any defensive effect.

"Ah——! "

Seeing the dead, the screams in the hall became one.

However, in just a moment, the screams turned into screams.

Every member of the Valois royal family and the pro-Protestant alliance who attended the wedding had been targeted early on.

Special assassination plans were made in advance based on their extraordinary professions and professional abilities that had no secrets.

It was only a few short breaths before most people fell tragically in a pool of blood.

Old people, men, women, children. No exception.

"No——!"

"Mom, save me! "

Even the "prop bride" Princess Charlotte Mago, who was used to gather all the relatives, was killed by a sword.

Because she was so beautiful and her body was still twitching, she was dragged to the next compartment by two extraordinary people from the Orthodox Alliance with a sinister smile.

Then there was a sound of clothes tearing.

Byron's [Key of Omniscience] actually received a piece of news that seemed to be just gossip a long time ago:

"Louis XI, who is about to inherit the throne of Iris, loves male beauty. It is said that he is so nauseous when he sees a woman, which is a big headache for the royal family.

The news was strictly blocked, and the future queen who was crying all day was brewing a big plan (Chapter 508). "

Obviously, this is the full picture of the plan.

The conditions for succession to the throne were basically met.

The queen was pregnant with a "posthumous child" of Louis XI. As long as all the members of the Valois royal family were killed, who would know that Louis XI liked men and had difficulty in giving birth?

And as a distant branch of the Valois royal family, the Count of Angoulême would naturally become the regent who holds real power in the Iris Kingdom!

Assisting orphans and widows to rule the country, on stage during the day and in bed at night.

With the support of external forces such as the Orthodox Church, Cromwell, the Protector of the Netherlands, and the Pyrenean Empire, They will become the new masters of this country smoothly.

Theoretically, even Byron's claim to power is under this "posthumous child".

Illegitimate children are fine.

Juana of Castile can do it, and this posthumous child can do it too.

Compared to Byron's real killing of the White Rose York family in the war for the throne, the Count of Angoulême, who was supported by the Remits, was the real "country thief".

He stole this country from the Valois royal family.

Seeing his entire family die out and his wife pregnant but not his own, Louis XI could not help but tear his eyes, his eyes were stained red by the blood of the royal family.

But the power from the zero-level holy relic has covered his whole body, and the predetermined future has come.

Plop!

He fell headfirst onto the table, and a fork pierced his eye socket and then his brain, killing him cleanly.

And no matter which prophet came to check, he would only conclude that he died from the curse of the ghost hand knife, and had nothing to do with [King Solomon's Key] and the queen.

At this time.

Because Meganella and Jacqueline, mother and daughter, who were sitting in the corner of the banquet hall, also faced a crisis.

Since Meganella was dismissed from the post of colonial governor by Louis XI, she and her daughter gradually faded out of the power center of Iris and the vision of others.

In the official intelligence updated three months ago, both of them were third-level singers.

The two assassins directly tore up a pawn contract that preserved the [Silent Force Field] and wanted to kill them with two swords.

But they didn't know that the progress speed of Byron's followers should never be measured according to common sense.

Jacqueline had already accepted Byron's First Embrace and became a fourth-level mythical creature [Night Demon] that countless dignitaries dreamed of.

As long as there is blood, immortality can be achieved initially.

Even if the singer's ability is banned, the pure physical fitness is also at the level of a monster. In addition, Jacqueline had already smelled the bloody smell coming from the guards being killed outside, and she was alert in advance.

The Orthodox Alliance acted too quickly, and there was no time to save others, but there was no problem saving her mother.

The two table knives in her hands turned, and before the assassin's dagger stabbed over, they were inserted into their necks in the opposite direction.

"Mom, go."

Pulling Meganila's hand, the [Shadow Robe] unfolded, and they fell into the shadow hole that opened under their feet.

But the mother and daughter had just left the Sacred Heart Cathedral, and the shadow jump was forced to stop.

Because Saint Matthew, one of the seven [Saints] of the Orthodox Church who was responsible for blocking the inside and outside, had already reacted and cast [Holy Prayer] to prohibit all non-human movement methods in the capital.

A large number of armed personnel from the Orthodox Alliance swarmed in and chased them relentlessly.

While the Orthodox armed personnel were chasing them, they also began to purge all Protestants and supporters in the entire capital.

"According to the order of His Holiness the Pope, kill all Protestants."

"Orthodoxy is the only spokesperson for the Creator!"

A massacre throughout the city has begun, and in just a moment, the Seine is filled with miserable corpses.

In this era, the Remit Church and the Creator Church are indeed much more barbaric than the Holy Spirit Church that was born last.

Heretics and pagans must die!

The bloody wedding on the east coast was horrible, and the war of usurpation on the west coast has also come to the final moment.

Mehmed II was probably so angry that he forgot that nothing could defend against the slash of the [Zulfikar Holy Sword], and even the hardest shield in the world would be cut into two.

Subconsciously, he used his scimitar to block the holy sword in Bayezid's hand, but he chopped it into two small scimitars, and was knocked away by the halberd that followed.

In the center of the square where the wedding was held was a large and carefully built fountain pool, with three statues several dozen meters high standing in the middle.

In the middle were the symbols of the Holy Spirit, the crescent moon and the star, which were similar to the cross emblem of the Creator Church.

The crescent moon symbolized a new beginning and hope, while the star represented light and guidance.

Next to it were two statues of people, one was the [Founder] of the Holy Spirit Church, and the other was [Lord of the Two Seas and Two Lands] Muhammad II himself.

The father and son fell on the huge pedestal under the statue one after another.

Muhammad II, who had already shown signs of defeat, coughed up a mouthful of blood and called for help from his guards:

"Come and save me!"

He was old and weak, and he really couldn't beat his son who was in his prime. He was almost beaten to death after just a few moves.

But just when the guards of the old sultan rushed into the pool and wanted to besiege the eldest prince.

The latter's troops suddenly threw several large barrels from the storage of strange objects and smashed them into the fountain pool.

The black and golden liquid with a pungent smell instantly covered the water surface, and the sparks from the collision between the halberd and the scimitar between the father and the son instantly ignited it.

Teng——!

The raging flames rose instantly, turning the guards who rashly wanted to save Muhammad II into firemen, and the tragic scene scared away all the others.

It also successfully isolated the inside and the outside, and no one could help them.

This is the alchemical product of the West Coast: "Fire in Water".

Once it is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish, and it can burn even on the sea surface. It once shone brightly in the war.

Amita, who was originally prepared to take sides as the "Old Man in the Mountain", saw that she could not find an opportunity, so she could only return to Byron in a depressed mood.

Byron didn't care and comforted her:

"It's okay. The appearance of the Old Man in the Mountain will cause great trouble.

You can't take action. Just wait for a new opportunity."

The opportunity came quickly.

Looking at his son approaching step by step with a halberd in his hand, Muhammad II finally showed despair and cried out to the star and moon holy emblem beside him:

"Holy Spirit, is chaos really the ultimate of the universe, and the Holy Spirit Church will never have a chance to reunite?

Even if I return to your arms today, I can't rest in peace."

A chain of faith sank into the void.

When a person is about to die, his faith becomes particularly pure.

The creator behind the Holy Spirit was too busy to pay attention to him.

But Byron laughed when he saw this.

Resonating with the [Ten Thousand-Winged Angel], he gently moved the anchor chain of faith linked to his body, and the power of his thoughts and wishes accumulated in the sky above the Star-Moon Empire poured down.

The infusion of power was so obvious that even the anchor chain of faith appeared in the air.

The vitality was re-injected into Mohammed II's body, and it actually helped him regain his youthful state.

Holding two swords in his hands, he forcibly blocked Bayezid's fatal blow and knocked him back half a step.

"Is this...the blessing of the Holy Spirit?!"

This time it was Bayezid's turn to be caught off guard.

There are ecclesiastical judges and devout believers everywhere around. Even if they open their eyes and tell lies, they dare not say that this is not the power of the Holy Spirit.

“Is it possible that the old Sultan [Lord of the Two Seas and Two Lands] is the human ruler recognized by the Holy Spirit?”

"A miracle! The Holy Spirit really appeared."

"The Holy Spirit is going to punish the rebellious prince who broke the teachings and used his son to kill his father!"

Seeing the two sides in the chaos around them, suspicion appeared in the eyes of even their own people.

Bayezid was so anxious that he couldn't even think about why the Holy Spirit, which had been silent for thousands of years, suddenly appeared at this critical moment.

He also imitated his father and shouted to the Holy Emblem:

“Great Holy Spirit, don’t listen to this old guy’s nonsense.

A devout believer will not violate the religious law, will not proclaim himself a caliph, and will not ignore your beloved, Saint Byron.

Even if he marches here and there to unify the Holy Spirit Church world, it will not be for you, but for himself!

He is blaspheming!

I am your most loyal Sultan! "

An anchor chain of faith also rose above his head.

The Holy Spirit in heaven was impartial and gave gifts to him.

Bayezid's strength suddenly surged and he suppressed his father again.

The people on his side cheered:

"It seems that His Highness Bayezid is the one favored by the Holy Spirit."

Mehmet II was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

After all, he is also a generation hero with both civil and military skills, but he realized that someone was up to something from the "extreme pull" in front of him.

The higher echelons of the church knew that the Creator was cracking, and so did the Sultan.

I found that my own God had lost even my self-awareness, and unknowingly I became ignorant of the only God, and of course I had no respect for the so-called favored one by the Holy Spirit.

This kind of belief feedback will appear at this time, and it is probably the self-aware being who intervened.

Moreover, the Fire Worship Empire had not given away beauties for a long time and would not send beauties for a long time. Just after the visit of St. Byron, he suddenly came to marry him. There was obviously something fishy about it.

Muhammad II's life was so smooth before that he never thought that others would dare to join forces to plot against him.

With things progressing to this point, if he can no longer see that there is a problem, he will be really sorry for his title of "Lord of Two Seas and Two Lands".

Unfortunately, what can they do now?

Muhammad II looked at the foolhardy son in front of him and was filled with sorrow:

"To live or to die, that is the question."

Indeed, when the Star-Moon Empire was strong and the political situation was stable, the so-called faith in Byron's hands would not have much effect.

But at a critical turning point in history, his faith may only weigh four pounds, but it can move a thousand pounds.

Byron never did any rush business. Even if he sold to others, he would ask others to take the initiative to count the money for him.

At this time, the two faith anchor chains are like water pipes. The firmer the faith, the lower the bottom line, and the more strength and blessings will be obtained.

The father and son are already on the same level, and it is impossible to allow the other to survive. If they do not betray their faith, they will surely lose their lives.

As a result, the natural resistance to religious authority in their hearts began to collapse rapidly.

The two rulers' originally weak faith anchors soon became increasingly strong as they competed with each other.

Among them, the growth rate of the great prince is much faster than that of Mohammed II.

Like the comprador class, it is most generous and magnanimous to sell things that do not belong to you.

Even if you sell all your land, resources, and all your young people, you won’t even blink an eye.

The same goes for Bayezid, who has not yet been able to get the throne. He doesn't feel bad at all for betraying his father.

But Mehmet II only hesitated for a moment at the increasingly irreparable sunk costs, and fell one step behind in the arms race.

He was stabbed through the waist by the eldest prince with a halberd and turned into skewers.

At the same time, the [Human Crown] above Byron's head also shone brightly.
