Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 141 Blood Feast Carnival, the Curtain Opens

"This seems like my cognitive modification?"

Byron re-examined the ability of the mask. Isn't this equivalent to his own somewhat alienated "psychological disguise"?

He quickly used his spiritual power to read the history of this [Cursed Item] and obtained more detailed information:

"The shaman mask symbolizes the Azk god of death, Apuch, and was born at the same time as the Tarsal God when the city of Tarasco was destroyed.

Both of them carry the resentment of tens of thousands of residents of the city-state towards the invaders, but one is a [Cursed Spirit] and the other is a [Cursed Object/Holy Relic].

At this time, the mask was attracted by a large group of outsiders consisting of thousands of people and returned to the place where it was born.

As long as the recognized ones sing out the final history of the city-state filled with blood and tears.

You can use the four abilities of the mask: symbol of the gods, medium of communication, barrier of concealment, and armor of soul protection."

After reading the records in the logbook, Byron has completely figured out the purpose of this third holy relic after the [Crystal Skull No. 3] and the [Golden Toilet].

“【Symbol of God】: Can communicate with the God of Death Apuché and borrow some of His power.

It is somewhat related to the [Wild Hunt] that I command the Undead Legion. The same powers may enhance each other.

But now the god of death Apuché has been dragged off the altar by his believers and transformed into the immortal and terrifying Tarsal God.

Even though it has been eradicated for decades, there are unpredictable and unknown risks in attempting synesthesia, so it needs to be attempted with caution.

[Psychic Medium]: It is suitable for those mediums in the cemetery sequence who "give rest to all things". It is no problem to raise the low level to the middle level.

[Soul Protection Armor]: It can defend against attacks from spirits. In the dangerous Bantaan Islands, this ability is very useful.

The last one, [Self-concealment Barrier], is a replica of the psychological disguise technique, which can greatly enhance this extraordinary ability to interfere with cognition.

The level is the same as the [Pied Piper's Shepherd's Flute], a second-level relic, corresponding to the middle sequence.

It just so happened that Bruch was pretending to be Bill and filling in for me all day long. In order to prevent the mid-sequence extraordinary people in the team from noticing anything was wrong, I was always careful to stay away from them.

If he replaced the iron mask he was originally wearing with this one, he would no longer have any flaws when facing those below the high sequence.

The only destiny it has is to cause death, especially the death of Castilians."

Byron discovered that this first treasure in his hand that could be used in battle was of great use to both him and Bruch, and his mood immediately became very good.

He gave a big smile to the slit-throat man who was looking over here.

"Mr. Cutthroat, it's a pleasure to work with you!

If you hadn't used your divine power to stop this guy, I wouldn't have been able to delay his death. Your shadow magic is truly eye-opening.

I have a few bottles of good wine. Let's find a chance to get together and have a drink someday?"

He benefited from it himself, so he didn't mind praising others afterwards.

It's a good deal anyway.

Seeing this guy's sincere smile, Slitthroat almost doubted whether he had wronged him.

I found that the crew were all looking at me, and finally I could only laugh dryly:
"Haha, Mr. Sea Hunter is even more impressive.

Your strength is not inferior to that of Sir Bill, the Executioner, right? Let's spar with him some other day."

While the [Slitthroat] was still secretly rejoicing that he had been tricked by this guy.

But there was no loss, and I even got rid of a competitor. I felt that it was a good harvest.

Bruch, who had received a notice from Byron in advance, had already entered the chaotic Hook Pirates under the identity of Bill.

After mourning the death of Captain Hook, the Pioneer Navigation Colonial Company immediately extended an olive branch to them:

“I believe many people have heard about the treatment we receive at Pioneer Pilot Colonial Company.

These are our Pirate Ten Commandments, especially the ninth one - merit must be rewarded!
We also have the 721 Captain Fission Plan, which gives everyone the opportunity to become a superhuman and a captain.
If you are interested, please sign here. If you are not interested, I will not force you.

Yes, absolutely not reluctantly! "

The "sincere" smile on the corner of his mouth already has some of Byron's essence.

When the Navy Department evaluated the seven pirate admirals, the model was based on the "Lieutenant Officer Promotion Examination", and even stipulated the number of people who could pass the examination each year.

All seven generals have followed suit and implemented the Hastings military system in their privateer fleets. In this way, fleets built with the same standards can be seamlessly connected when the York family takes over in the future.

Unfortunately, although the York family had beautiful thoughts, they forgot one thing.

When the seven pirate generals swallow each other up, of course they can connect seamlessly!
Byron never forgot that he must not allow the Castilians to become powerful, and at the same time he must not allow his enemy York to become powerful.

One of the most important purposes of this action is to use Hastings' system to strengthen itself like a blood-sucking worm!
“Thanks to Brother [Hook] for sending the privateer fleet!

I will wave a flowery hand at your grave."

As for those diehard members of the pirate group and those ambitious people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to rise to the top?
The entry [You are not the murderer] will let them know what it means to die by being shot, drowning, or falling from a height, and rule out all homicides.

A week flies by.

The royal city of Tenochtitlan on an island in the middle of Lake Texcoco.

In the first month of every year, shamans would consult the gods worshipped by the city-state, divine the best day, and hold a grand sacrificial ceremony.

It is called "Blood Feast Carnival" or "Carnival of Blood".

The skinning sacrifice, which was already extremely bloody, was suddenly pushed to another climax.

"Your Majesty, please raise your hand."

"Your Majesty, please lift your feet."

[Falcon] Alvin helped Beatrice, who was both the empress of the empire and the chief priest, put on a gorgeous dress, then knelt on the ground, held her feet and put on a pair of exquisite gold-thread shoes for her.

He helped her slowly walk out of the magnificent palace.

Just as she reached the door, Beatrice suddenly stopped, turned her head and whispered to him:

"I don't think I have anything to do here. The Blood Feast and the God-killing Feast are about to begin. Falcon, go and meet His Excellency the General."

However, this time Alvin did not respond to the order cleanly and neatly as usual.

Just as Beatrice was puzzled, she saw him suddenly raise his head, straighten his back, and look into her eyes.

He opened his mouth slowly, without allowing any doubt:
“My beautiful queen, the skinning altar in the center of the city-state may seem safe, but it actually gathers all the high-ranking and top-notch transcendents in the city-state.

Although I don't know how your final plan will be implemented, it is certain that you will end up in conflict with those natives.

Although I always firmly believe that the general will arrive in time to ensure your safety.

But before that, if those natives want to hurt you, they must first step over the body of me, Alvin the Falcon!
I can die, but I will never allow anyone to hurt a hair on your head, nor will I let you die in the hands of others.

If I can deliver you safely into the arms of General Cortes today, I will have no regrets even if I die! Please let me stay by your side."

There was even a firmness and dominance in Alvin's tone that was definitely not there in the past.

Even if Beatrice had a heart made of stone, she couldn't help but tremble at the words.

Moreover, the Falcon's timid and even humble demeanor made her feel that Alvin today seemed even more domineering than the general.

Eagle dog, eagle dog, it is no longer a humble and obedient dog, but has turned into an eagle soaring in the sky!

She has no feelings for those "sincere people" who are submissive, but she has no feelings for such overbearing people.
I felt a slight dampness in my heart and couldn't help but squeeze my legs together.

"Okay, okay. Just stay with me."

Looking at Falcon's face, this guy who used to be regarded as a slave and had nothing good except his loyalty, doesn't seem so bad after all.

"It would not be a bad idea to even give him a little sweet treat after this ceremony is over.

Anyway, when the general is away, this beautiful body will be idle anyway."

However, she was completely unaware that while Alvin was speaking, his eyes were fixed on the [Golden Codex] in her hands.

Byron always kept Violet's advice in mind.

The more he read, the more he felt that this heavy golden book was meant for him.

"Today I will stay by the side of this [Golden Code], and no one can let me go!"
