Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 138 The Orphan Alliance Takes Action Again

"I see.

The Azik people held a large-scale blood sacrifice for their patron saint, the Lord of the Flayed, intending to create a "Golden Code" with Him as the core to rival the "Silver Code".

Perhaps it could also be called the Golden Rule?"

Byron, who was in the city of Tarasco, regained consciousness, opened his eyes again, and suddenly realized something.

His extraordinary knowledge has already touched the top of the extraordinary pyramid in this world.

Later, he got the talking crystal skull number three.

After benefiting greatly from the other party's core supernatural theory, they used agricultural technology to exchange a lot of indigenous taboo knowledge from it.

Now Byron has a deeper understanding of black witchcraft, natural spirits, patron saints and especially blood sacrifice, the most common taboo ritual overseas.

“Whether in the Old World or in the Bantaan Islands, secular monarchy has never developed to the point where it can compete with divine power.

The mainlanders who take the [Stairway of Glory] route of gathering people must adhere to the [Silver Law] which is said to have been created by the Creator.

The indigenous people who take the path of [forbidden knowledge] to elevate themselves must worship a guardian spirit or patron god who symbolizes the collective commonality of the tribe or city-state.

The most important thing is what my teacher [Insect Swarm] said:
People are the variables of this world!
Whether it is the "unspeakable" at one extreme or the Creator at the other extreme, if they want to change, they need human power to pull or push.

And since they are variables, they can naturally make these beings worse or better.

Theoretically, as long as there are enough people (sacrifices or believers), it is possible to achieve all the miracles in mysticism! "

Byron could no longer sleep as he watched the mystery of [Secret: The Mystery of Blood Sacrifice in the Azik Empire] soar in resolution.

He took out a conch, said a few words into it, then walked out of the tent and paced slowly.

After making some guesses and inferences and thinking through the whole process, his blue eyes became brighter and brighter in the night:

“The gods worshipped by the indigenous people must be more orderly, so that they can protect the people like the [Silver Law].

The so-called guardian of the empire, the Lord of Skinning, is just a more advanced spirit that is close to an abstract concept.

When human resources are limited, it is definitely better to use them to support one "god" rather than many gods.

Perhaps in this world, monotheism also has its rationale for existence.”

Combining the knowledge in Falcon Alvin's mind, he made a preliminary judgment:
"Xipe-Totec is a god of rebirth.

He is also the god of agriculture, plants, disease, spring, gold and silversmiths, liberation and seasons, and is in charge of the East.

It seemed natural to use Him as the core to receive the legal knowledge spread from the east of the archipelago, connect the gold and silver laws, and liberate the entire Yucatan Island.

Since the shaman of this city-state was able to drag the worshipped god of death, Apuché, into the deep sea and create the terrifying [Tarsal God].

[Lord of the Skinning] Xipe-Totec can naturally ascend to divinity.

Others may not have the power to unify the entire indigenous pantheon, but the Azik Empire and Emperor Montezuma II can certainly do it!"

“As for whether the people of other tribes and city-states who lost their protection during the conversion process live or die, it has nothing to do with the Azik people.

As the weak, destroying them has nothing to do with them.

As for the specific operability of the [Golden Code], how can I intervene as [Falcon]? I wonder if the expert has any good suggestions."

At this moment, the [Echo Conch] in Byron's waist bag vibrated slightly, and it was the other conch in the pair that gave a reply.

Although the distance between Yucatan and Anchor Bay has long exceeded one thousand kilometers, instant communication is not possible.

A few minutes delay in receiving it is no problem at all.

Even though the person wasn't in front of him, Byron subconsciously showed a relaxed smile at the corner of his mouth, a smile he usually only had when facing Catherine.

After activating the conch, a sweet and pleasant voice came from inside:

"Hahaha! Mr. Good Citizen who knows everything actually has the time to ask this princess for advice? It is really an honor."

Hearing this, Byron subconsciously imagined a girl with silver hair, blue eyes, and wearing a white nightgown, who was pinching her slender waist with both hands and laughing three times with a proud look on her face.

The time difference between Yucatan Island and Anchor Bay is not that big, and this is the time when Violet goes to bed.

It was just that because Byron was busy crossing the jungle during the day, he hadn't had a chance to be alone, nor had he been able to send a message to her "online friend".

The girl placed the Echo Conch next to her pillow, and as soon as she heard the question Byron asked, she immediately replied to him.

"If you want to ask me about this, you've got to ask the right person.

I'm afraid you, the legitimate prince of Hastings, are not as clear as me, a pirate princess, about how to establish your own laws from scratch."

Violet knew there was a delay in communication, and she didn’t keep him in suspense.

Instead, he gave a professional analysis from the perspective of a third-level craftsman and the second-generation heir of the Pirate King:

"The relationship between your Lancastrian Iron Rule and your uncle Henry VI.

First there was the Magna Carta which had been passed down for more than two hundred years, and then there was the fifth-level [Title of the King: Mad King] under the blessing of the law.

For hundreds of years, there has been no experience of formulating the iron laws of royal power.

Our Harold family's [Iron Law of Kingship·Pirate Code] is exactly the opposite.

The original copy of the code drawn up by the Pirate Emperor thousands of years ago has long been lost.

The current pirate code in Iron Anchor Bay is entirely decided by my father himself, and no one would question the authority of a fifth-level pirate king.

This is because the code of law came only after the Pirate King.

The code serves the king and is glorified by the king, not the other way around. The Azik Empire is similar, and is clearly planning to follow the path of our Anchor Bay.

I am more familiar with gold. Two hundred gold coins are not enough for a third-level master craftsman like me to spend in a day."

When Byron heard that Violet had a fixed expense of two hundred pounds a day, or six thousand pounds a month, he shuddered subconsciously. He had been complaining that Violet was always rubbing salt into Lancaster's wounds.

If she were a family doing legitimate business, they probably wouldn't even be able to support her.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to support me.

The two people with a family background started brainstorming with limited information separated by two [Echo Conchs].

You and I discussed again and again the plans of the Azik Empire, the power of the Flayed Lord, and the possible back-up plans of the Flayed Church and Conqueror Cortes.

[Secret: The Mystery of the Blood Sacrifice of the Azik Empire, Historical Influence 27], the decryption density also increased little by little from 58% to 72%.

As the moon reached its zenith, Byron concluded:
“That is to say, in alchemy, mystical rituals, and especially contractual rituals, precious metals with stable properties are essential raw materials.

This is because even without any magical protection, they can still retain their original appearance after thousands of years.

Otherwise, not to mention the clay tablets burned by fire, even the ink writing on parchment would almost disappear in just one or two hundred years.

In the Old World, silver and the rarer mithril are both associated with divine power, and all crosses of the church are made of this material. "

“In the Bantaan Islands, gold represents the supreme sun god and symbolizes supreme power.

The Aztecs had four golden lands, and the gold culture had long been deeply rooted in their civilization, with far-reaching influence.

Gold was widely believed to be an important medium of communication with the sun god.

Therefore, the Azik people would wear a lot of gold jewelry during wars and sacrifices: necklaces, earrings, bracelets, crowns, masks, etc.

Pyramids can be found everywhere, with sacrificial tablets, statues, and even entire temples made of gold.

It is no exaggeration to say that the royal city of Tenochtitlan is the city of gold.

The combination of gold and the power of the Lord of Skinning is indeed very likely to create a simplified version of the Golden Law.

Then he ended the polytheism overseas, continued to expand the empire based on the Golden Law, and embarked on a true path of centralization.

What's even better is that the roots of the law are different, so there is no need to worry about hitting the upper limit of the [Silver Law], and ultimately only reaching the level of the fifth level [King Title]. "

This idea also gave Byron an inspiration.

After all, he realized that "animal nature" and "divine nature" are equally important.

I have always wanted to walk on my own two legs and eventually reach the divine realm.

It is inevitable to consider that the [Silver Law] that serves as a help in the early stages may turn into one's ultimate obstacle.

Just like the "Shadow Demon Network", creating a private legal network independent of the Silver Law is certainly very tempting to him.

If you don't plan ahead and only consider things when they happen, it will be too late.

Violet then added:

“The covenant between man and God, the [Holy Word Tablet] engraved with the Ten Commandments, as the core of the Silver Law, has been kept in St. Peter’s Cathedral in the Holy Silver Empire.

The original copy of the [Pirate Code] drawn up by the Pirate Emperor a thousand years ago has long been lost and is nowhere to be found.

All fourth-level pirate warlords and fifth-level pirate kings regard it as the ultimate treasure in their pirate career. My father, included, dreams of finding it.

This shows the importance of the original law.

If you feel that the ritual process involves too many aspects and you don't know where to start, just keep your eyes on the [Golden Code] which is the core of the ritual.

Whether it's the sinister [Flayed Cult] or the delusional Emperor Azik, the original code is indispensable if they want to achieve their goals.

At a critical moment, seizing or destroying it may allow you to strike back and gain the upper hand!"

All the information was sorted out again, and Byron felt relieved. He suddenly developed some confidence that he could fish in troubled waters while being surrounded by the indigenous empire and Castilians.

I sincerely touched my chest and bowed to the conch:

"Thank you for your advice, beautiful princess."

Violet, who was standing opposite her, jumped up from the bed, lifted her skirt with both hands, and bent her knees. Her sapphire-blue toes tapped the ground behind her, and she smiled with her eyebrows curved.

"My pleasure, Your Highness."

No one knows when the Orphan Alliance's meeting, where they are planning another bad thing, will end, nor does anyone know whether they will change history again.

But for Violet, tonight will surely be a good dream.

At the same time, Byron's logbook was automatically updated quietly:
"Captain, you have deduced the related secret: [Ambition of Conquistador Cortes, historical influence 30, solution density 32%].

Once the first entry [History Reviser] is activated, you can draw a holy relic that has appeared in the history of the Azik Empire at any time.

The power depends on the density of the solution.”

"Last time I drew the [Nation-Destroying Iron Nail], I wonder what famous holy relics the Azik Empire will have this time?"

As I explored deeper, I finally saw a secret connection that could affect the world.

Before Byron could get excited, he suddenly heard a muffled low cry coming from the edge of the camp, followed by the sound of footsteps rushing over from all directions.

"It seems something happened."
