Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 153: A storage bag that can't even hold the spoils? Bad review! (It's time to kill it)

Byron, who was mixed in the crowd, was waiting to see the show at first.

He had successfully poisoned all the gold in the royal city.

Anyone who takes the gold except him, the legitimate heir to the empire, will completely lose all happiness.

[Holy Relic: Azik's Cursed Gold Coin]:
They were born out of a tragedy that occurred at the beginning of the Age of Discovery.

At that time, there was a Castilian invasion.

The Aztecs gave a stone box containing 882 Aztec skull gold coins to a group of colonists in the hope that they would stop slaughtering their own people.

But the leading general was greedy and cruel. After getting the gold coins, he still ordered the entire tribe to be killed.

In response, the spirits of the Azik placed a curse on gold, and anyone who took a coin would suffer eternal punishment as the "living dead".

Byron extracted one of the skull gold coins and used it as a medium to curse all the gold in the city.

All this gold was tainted with a similar curse of the living dead.

The colonists who took the gold could eat and drink water to maintain a normal life, but they would be like zombies and would never feel any happiness in the world again.

Those with weak wills may not be able to hold on for long and may commit suicide.

Even the Church of the Creator declares that there is no salvation for those who commit suicide.

Exemption conditions: 1. Return the gold to the golden city located in the center of the lake, and kill a thief who stole the gold with your own hands, and use his blood to wash away the sin on the gold.

2. Obtain permission from Byron, the heir to the empire and owner of the gold.

So Byron was not in a hurry at all when he saw the Hastings expeditionary force around him preparing to compete for the gold.

"Take it, take it. That's not gold. That's the money you need to buy your life."

But before they set off.

"monster!"

"Ahhh"

Suddenly, there were screams at the end of the team, and broken limbs were scattered everywhere.

When Byron turned his head, he saw a tall black figure charging into the Hastings expeditionary force as if he was in an empty space.

Wherever they passed, the pirates and colonists fell down in an orderly manner like harvested wheat.

But it was clearly targeted in its killings.

Those whose hands were stained with the blood of the Azik were more likely to be attacked, and logistics personnel who had never killed anyone would be spared even if they bumped into him.

"Oh no, that's the Tarsal God?!"

Geronimo, who was standing next to him, exclaimed at the same time.

The old man obviously recognized the identity of the visitor.

[Tarsal God] galloped on his horse, and in just a few breaths, he had killed his way through the team and rushed to the lake where the senior leaders were.

It also allowed Byron and the others to see its appearance clearly.

He was wearing a dirty deerskin battle robe, with black maggots crawling in his body.

The head is a terrifying white skeleton, holding an obsidian saw sword called "Maquawit" and an obsidian spear.

He rode a skeletal warhorse that was tangled in worn-out ropes and caltrops, and whose mouth and nose could spit sparks.

If you looked from a distance, you would have thought it was the Wild Hunt knight riding a skeleton horse coming back.

But this was definitely not the Wild Hunt, but the [Cursed Spirit] that they had heard about in Tarasco, the first stop on the island, which was born from the Castilian massacre.

Geronimo's words still ring in my ears:

“During that time, the Tarsal God was like a maggot in the tarsal bone, wandering in the vast rain forest all day long, killing all outsiders whose hands were stained with the blood of the Azik people.

He has become the patron saint of the Azik Empire."

It is said that it was killed once decades ago by a military chaplain from Castile using the [Fragment of the True Cross], a relic.

The cross that once crucified the Creator is naturally powerful and unpredictable.

But the [Cursed Spirit] is truly immortal.

Today, the same kind of massacre is happening again.

Moreover, the three core city-states of the Azik Empire were destroyed at the same time, which immediately resurrected the cursed spirit that had been dormant for decades.

Carrying the boundless anger of the Azik people, he resumed his hunting career.

"No, run!

Even a Level 3 Transcendent would not be a match for this monster."

In fact, the level of [Tarsal God] is not higher than that of [Funeral Bird-Billed Plague Doctor].

However, the different methods of killing between the two also determine that their deterrent effects in the eyes of outsiders are completely different.

The Bird-Billed Plague Doctor is a strategic-level anomaly that may be able to completely destroy a civilization, but it will not actively hunt down a few powerful individuals. As long as they are immune to the smallpox virus, it is completely harmless.

The Tarsal God is at the tactical level, and its killing range may be far less than the former. Even if it is allowed to kill for a lifetime, it is impossible to kill all the outsiders. But its threat to the extraordinary is far from comparable to the former.

The entire expeditionary force fled in all directions.

In order to offer a blood sacrifice to [Mother of Creation Lilith], the swarm of insects, whose hands were already stained with the blood of the Azik people, suddenly dispersed and turned into countless locusts that rushed into the sky.

But Major General Newman beside him did not have such ability. As he was being watched by the Tarsal God, he shuddered violently.

The heart cried out:

"Am I going to die?"

I heard Byron and Bill shouting in unison:
"Don't even think about hurting the general!"

Then they actually stood in front of Newman, one on the left and one on the right, moving him so much that he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Okay, okay, if I don't die today, I will help you get a high position, reduce taxes, smuggle arms, and I will marry my daughter to you!"

Everyone else was scared to death, Bruch was also a little nervous, but Byron was the only one who showed no fear and even wanted to laugh.

One of the abilities of the shaman mask [Symbol of the Deity]: It can communicate with the god of death Apche and borrow some of his power.

As the god of death Apche was dragged off the altar by his believers, he was transformed into the immortal and terrifying Tarsal God.

This ability is actually communicating with the [Tarsal God].

The results may be good or bad.

If Byron had not become the heir to the empire, he might have really needed to take a gamble.

But now, just standing there simply made the patron saint of the Azik Empire, [Tarsil God], subconsciously turn a corner.

He bypassed their location and rushed into the lake, continuing to kill towards the direction of the royal city.

There are too many targets here who have blood feuds with Azik, and the [Tarsal God] who kills people according to fixed rules only targets the biggest one.

Soon, a bloody storm broke out in the royal city opposite, and countless exclamations and screams were heard.

"The royal city is cursed. We can't stay here any longer."

"The Tarsal God is alive too, run!"

"."

Most people have not yet realized that there is a problem with gold.

They thought that the land of the Azik people was cursed, so they all fled out of the city with the gold they found.

The expeditionary force that escaped the disaster did not dare to stay any longer and turned around and fled.

The scene was in chaos.

Byron bent down and picked up an inconspicuous deerskin waist bag that someone had dropped on the ground, and tied it to his belt.

That was Beatrice's storage item [Snakeskin Bag]:
“This is a bag that looks like it’s made of spotted snake skin, and it can change its shape freely, including but not limited to color, material, and size.

外观最大为：45厘米*25厘米*35厘米，近似手提箱；最小为：10厘米*9厘米*1厘米，近似一只钱包。

The actual internal volume is 5 meters * 5 meters * 5 meters, and the maximum load is only ten tons, which means it can only hold ten cubic meters of fresh water."

Cutting inscription: "A python swallows an elephant."

The one who sent it back was Alvin the Falcon who had changed his skin.

When Byron got this treasure, he was immediately determined.

Let’s not talk about how much the precious storage items are worth.

A series of extremely sinister assassinations that could be achieved with the help of storage capabilities were already brewing in his mind, such as: installing ten 32-pound carronades
It now contains some of the most valuable gold products in the royal city, but it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the rest.

In addition, there are [Wonderful Item: Dancer Who Dances as He Pleases] and [Holy Relic: The First Overseas Development Order of the Age of Navigation] left by Cortes.

These things alone had reached the storage limit of the [snakeskin bag], preventing him from taking away more gold.

“What’s even more regrettable is that the original 882 Azik gold coins are not here, but were taken away by the group of colonists who completed the massacre.

Those gold coins have more magical effects, not only bad things, but also good things.

Similar to Edward Redbeard, it can force the holder to be locked between life and death and make him immune to all physical attacks.

It is useless against powerful supernatural beings, but it is undoubtedly a magical weapon for ordinary pirates.

I do know where they are, but I haven’t decided whether to take them or not.”

Legend has it that the stone box containing gold coins was looted by pirates on the road.

It fell into the hands of Flint, a famous pirate on the sea.

If you just say this name, many people may not be able to react.

But if we talk about the "Treasure Island" that appears randomly in the ocean every prime number of years, then everyone knows it (Chapter 69).

That island was where the great pirate Flint hid his treasure.

It just so happens that Byron has a treasure map leading to that place, and the next time the island appears is this year.

However, when Byron saw the worried-looking grandfather and grandson Geronimo and Wyandotte, he immediately realized that the most critical issue now was actually: solving the smallpox plague!
