Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 120 Become the Island Owner from Today
Central Bantaan Islands.

The sea was blue and the breeze was blowing. A small fleet of four sailboats were sailing from east to west.

A privateer ship, the Golden Deer, acted as a flower escort and guide ship, a navy cruiser followed behind, and two merchant ships of the Greenville family were lined up in the middle.

Soon after leaving the first circulation zone and entering the Bantaan Islands, they experienced the transition from cold winter to midsummer in a very short period of time.

In recent years, the north has been getting colder and colder, and has often experienced white frost disasters.

In terms of climate alone, it is far less livable than overseas.

Catherine also changed into a relatively light and thin goose yellow dress and wore a pair of translucent crystal high heels.

Even without makeup, she has red lips and fair skin, and looks youthful, beautiful and bright.

What never changes is that all the jewelry she wears, such as hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, and anklets, are all made of shiny mithril.

He is currently the only person that Byron is willing to share his treasure with.

She just casually played with the crystal skull whose value could not be measured in monetary terms, and then turned to tightly grasp the old priest's mithril cross emblem.

“This is a real good baby.”

There was no way. Even though she knew that the value of Crystal Skull No. 3 was far beyond that of the Mithril Holy Emblem, the nature of the dragon itself was beyond her control.

Catherine prefers real money to planting trees.

He immediately merged the holy emblem into the [Wonderful Bracelet - Silver Moon] on his wrist, and smiled happily:

"Not bad, not bad. You're still thinking about your sister. You've made my little treasury gain another two ounces (56 grams)."

By the way, I gave him a big kiss on the forehead.

Just like Byron's [Warrior's Cup] can only be used to hold liquids, the [Silver Moon Bracelet] carefully crafted by a third-level master craftsman can only be used to hold mithril.

Until now, even Byron didn't know how much stock was contained in her bracelet.

Compared with the properties loaded on the two ships, this small treasury can truly represent her generosity as the "Miss Qianjin".

The second-level core skill [Mithril Hand] can transform the rare and extraordinary metal mithril into various weapons.

When she reaches the third level, as long as she has enough wealth, she can create multiple levels of Mithril Golems with a wave of her hand, moving as fast as the wind and with infinite power.

They can even be divided into different types of troops that cooperate with each other in combat, and even artillery can do nothing to them.

Therefore, before that, we have to save up our family assets penny by penny.

Even if it reaches the fourth or fifth level, it is destined to be difficult to change the habits of a dragon.

Byron asked her to be the chief financial officer of his governor's palace, so she wouldn't have to worry about being cheated out of a penny by others.

Miss Catherine is born to be the absolute nemesis of all corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen!
So, from now on, you only need to be on guard against her.

It is good news that the Governor's workload has been greatly reduced.

"Byron, look, is that island in front of us Taiman? We are almost there."

On the forecastle of the Osprey, where they were the only two of them, Catherine suddenly jumped for joy.

At this time, Byron's role is "Vincent" who has just been released from the bottom cabin, just like a real lord and guardian knight.

As they saw the island appearing ahead, a signal flag suddenly rose from the last cruiser in the fleet:

"We have arrived at our destination and are about to leave."

Without waiting for the Osprey to respond, he turned the rudder and sailed away.

Fifty musketeers who had been transferred to another merchant ship, the Kitty Hawk, in advance came to the deck and lined up under the leadership of a Marine lieutenant.

Only this musketeer corps would accompany Vincent to Greenville to take up his post. The York family would not waste another cruiser in vain.

Byron and the others didn't care, but instead felt relieved.

Now I am strong and my enemy is weak. Even if I accidentally reveal my true identity, I can easily cause some unlucky guy to commit suicide.

"Check the guard of honor. This is our first time stationed in a colony. We need to show the demeanor of the Kingdom's soldiers."

As the captain and commander of this marine corps, "Vincent" pretended to give orders to the musketeers on the opposite ship.

[Royal Hound] Vincent attempted to marry Catherine, but he had already left the palace and was now a lonely man.

There was no life gem left.

Unless he could return to the mainland as the new Earl of the Greenville family, no one would take a second look at him.

The musketeers were unaware, allowing Byron to easily capture this army of fifty people.

It is unrealistic to expect them to charge into battle, but there is no problem for them to serve as the defense force of the new territory.

As long as you wash them a few times after a while, the rest will all be yours.

Byron's only regret was that he was too busy to handle everything.

The number of vests for [Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor, [Pirate General] Bill, and [Royal Hound] Vincent is increasing.

Bruch was the only one helping out, and he felt increasingly stretched.

But each identity has to be maintained.

“Vincent, the royal hound, is a thorn in the side of the House of York.

If we remove it directly, not to mention that the York family might send a more troublesome guy over.

Even the local Governor Newman family would have fewer concerns and might even ask a family member to take action personally.

Before I set off, I pretended to offend Catherine, and was beaten up by her in public and then locked up in a small dark room in the bottom cabin.

Only then did he disappear from sight of other people.

Pirate General Bill is still a banner among pirates, and he can only be kicked away when his deputy Byron has grown into a full-fledged pirate. "

Byron could not help but sigh:
"It would be great if I could also be a 'time management master'. I really want to find a senior like him to learn from."

The remaining three ships continued to move forward, and the island ahead grew larger and larger, gradually changing from a green dot to a dense green. In the clear blue water around them, several large turtles as big as carriages swam leisurely.

Not far below them, there are clusters of beautiful colorful coral reefs on the seabed.

It would be very pleasant to vacation and swim here.

Byron leaped up and rushed up the tall mast along the foremast's side rigging.

Catherine's body flashed with silver light, and she changed into an exquisitely shaped full-body knight armor and followed closely behind.

The moment I saw the scenery ahead clearly, I couldn't help but blurt out:

"So beautiful!"

Standing here, you can almost have a panoramic view of the entire Great Thaiman Island, whose average altitude does not exceed 200 meters.

The island is about 35 kilometers long and has an average width of 7 kilometers. The lush trees on the island look like a large piece of emerald.

The terrain is gentle, mainly large green plains, surrounded by low mountains, vast mangrove swamps and colorful and beautiful coral reefs.

The transferred documents record that the waters near the island are rich in lobsters, turtles, hawksbill turtles, sponges, shells and various aquatic products, and the forestry industry is also very good.

A wide variety of fruit trees are widely distributed on the island: coconut, breadfruit, banana, mango, citrus, etc., as well as palm trees, ink trees with excellent dyes, and mahogany.

Although it has a tropical climate, it is surrounded by the sea and the average annual temperature is only between 24-30℃, so the climate is very pleasant.

The only shortcoming is probably that the current level of development is too low.

Looking from here from a distance, most places still retain their original appearance, and the only settlement on the island is Georgetown Port.

Even the most important lighthouse in the port looks a bit dilapidated and is in urgent need of repair or even further expansion.

The small harbor with a few sailboats docked here and there is also very simple.

After taking over, they have to spend money, a lot of money!
The light in Catherine's eyes that had brightened up because of the beautiful scenery dimmed in an instant.

He reached out and pressed his chest, feeling as if he was having trouble breathing:
"I knew there was a precedent of Taimanbulak being occupied by the Castilians.

The situation on the other two islands in the archipelago, the main island of Big Thaiman Island and the secondary island of Little Thaiman Island, will not be much better.

As expected, this place is a mess. If you want to generate positive returns, it is not as simple as working hard for a day or two."

The fiefdom information handed over along with the transfer order did not describe the situation here very well. The actual situation was even worse than Byron and Catherine had imagined.

The information says that the population on the island is not large, but there are only a few hundred people living on the 220 square kilometers large island.

It was actually an autonomous colony established by private adventurers, and it took less than five years to develop.

The main sources of revenue are agriculture, forestry, fishery, and a kind of magical hawksbill turtle products that have reached an extraordinary level.

Due to an expedition accident two months ago.

The adventurer George, the Nine-Lived Cat, who was about to reach the middle sequence of the third level of the Silver Law, and his core team never returned.

Without reliable military support, it has become difficult for the remaining ordinary people to continue operating in a dangerous place like the Bantaan Islands.

Later, they could no longer afford the spices protected by the Silver Law, even to light the lighthouse.

They had no choice but to give up their territorial ownership and submit an application to the Kingdom and Maritime Court, requesting official takeover of the island.

This finally fell into Catherine's hands.

Byron's focus is more on the missing adventurer [The Cat with Nine Lives].

"Wilderness Sequence Adventurers, like me, need to keep chasing danger in order to advance.

But if there is just one accident, you may lose everything.

A cat with nine lives is not immortal. It will eventually stumble."

To be promoted to [Adventurer], one needs to go through a ceremony called "Extreme Eight" to pay tribute to the power of nature.

They are: the emergence of power; the birth of heaven; the awakening of earth; the life of water; the eternal movement of wind; the solidification of ice; the master of life; absolute trust.

As long as you can complete one in the mortal stage, you can be successfully promoted to an adventurer.

If one can pass all of them, he or she can break the limits of the human body, achieve nirvana, advance to the second level in one step, and gain core skills that far exceed those of his or her peers.

Ability [Adaptive Evolution]: As long as they survive a great disaster, they will surely have good fortune in the future, allowing them to transform step by step in the hardships, and eventually become non-humans with both will and body!

Of course, the mortality rate of adventurers always ranks first among all sequence professions.

Those who can complete the "Extreme Eight Events" at the mortal stage are rare.

But no matter what, this is a new beginning for both of them.

Moreover, the Thaiman Islands are located on a major transportation route connecting the east and the west, so it is naturally a very convenient place to do business.

——Low EQ: “Take it!”

High EQ: "Let's go to the far end of the world and have a romantic date with every merchant ship and every native."

The brother and sister smiled at each other, their hearts suddenly filled with pride, and they said in unison with great tacit understanding:

“We are here, and good times are here.

From today on, become an island owner, plant trees, make money, and become famous in the seven seas! "

however.

Just as the fleet turned around the corner of the island from the northeast and headed towards Georgetown built on the south shore of the island, a cannon shot was suddenly heard from the direction of the port in the distance.

I saw two sailing ships that had just docked here, and they instantly changed the flags belonging to Hastings on their masts to the skull and crossbones pirate flag.

A large group of ferocious pirates swarmed out of the ship's cabin and rushed to the port.

A voice like a broken gong, full of smoke and alcohol, shouted loudly:
"People of Hattings, hand over all the spices, gold, silver, grain, and rum to me!"
