Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 160: Regent, the True Supreme Art

It was not until Byron saw the records written automatically in the logbook that he realized that the most unspeakable accident had not actually happened.

After all, he is the underlying owner of the [Golden Codex], and his name is written on the title page.

A thick golden anchor chain connected him to the code.

The three elements of rule: territory, citizens, and laws that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Only when these three are combined can they constitute a complete [Iron Law of Royal Power].

Although the Earldom of Greenville is Catherine's territory, the territory is only one of the carriers of the law and does not change the ownership of this golden law.

In addition to the extremely high compatibility with the [Golden Rule], Catherine is only one of them.

It is absolutely impossible to squeeze him into the position of queen.

Moreover.

A queen who has a [serious threat] and dares to choose him as her queen/husband and oppress him will most likely be more miserable than the cuckolded and miserable Montezuma II.

"Name: Katherine Greenville

Age: 19 years old

Title: Flower of the North (Legend 17); Mithril Dragon (Legend 11)

Occupation: Level 2 [Mithril Knight]

Special status: Regent of the Golden Empire, rank temporarily raised by one level."

Others did not understand what "Regency" meant, but Byron knew it very well.

This is exactly the same political situation as in the past in Hattings.

Byron's uncle, the Mad King Henry VI, often suffered from mental problems, and his younger brother, Prince of Thornburg, and Queen Margaret took over the government during his illness.

Among them, Prince Sorenburg was honored as the Regent of the Kingdom, and he also had a more resounding name, called "Regent"!
Therefore, the Storm Ring, which symbolizes the Lancastrian heritage and royal power, is held by Prince Thornburg instead of Henry VI.

And it was given to Byron on the night of defeat (Chapter 2).

“Indeed, I have not lost my ability to govern.

But just like this time I was away for more than half a month, it was impossible for me to stay in this three-acre area of ​​the Taiman Islands forever.

Let him be the regent, at least the benefits will be kept within the family.

The Taiman Islands, as the foundation, must not be lost.

After that, I only retained the most basic power of personnel appointment and dismissal, and completely transferred the king's ruling power to Catherine.

This will allow her to legitimately mobilize the power of the crowd and add a third-level female Tyrannosaurus Rex to the impregnable 'Dragon's Nest', who will swear to protect her treasure to the death."

Byron breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't allowed to become queen, everything would be fine.

However, Catherine in front of him was obviously not used to his surging power.

Click!

The job rank upgrade granted by [Golden Law] came too suddenly.

Catherine was not prepared, and her high heels accidentally stepped on a big hole in the wooden floor of the room.

She even crushed a pair of priceless crystal shoes to pieces on the spot.

Fortunately, the [Mithril Hand] reacted in time, allowing the silver chain on her ankle to deform in time to protect her, thus avoiding the tragedy of her foot being pierced by the wooden board.

I tried to walk forward, and the floor didn't collapse again.

But you also need to try your best to control yourself in order to avoid accidentally rushing out like a cannonball.

This external blessing from the Golden Law is obviously not as handy as the [Wild Hunt Knight] summoned by Byron.

After trying several times, a lot of furniture was destroyed, which made Catherine very distressed.

In the end, she could only stand there, no longer daring to move around.

"Byron, come and help me."

Hearing Catherine's pitiful cry for help, Byron not only did not step forward, but immediately took two steps back like the wind, moving further away from her.

Anyone who has worked in cargo loading and unloading knows how to deal with dropped cargo, but if you encounter heavy cargo, especially iron parts, you must never support it if it falls over.

It is normal that the lucky ones lose a leg, and the unlucky ones even lose their lives.

Although Catherine is not a dangerous cargo, the current lethality of this "rich girl" is no weaker than that of a heavy artillery.

"Sister, you will have to go through this process sooner or later anyway, so take this opportunity to try to control it.

Be still and feel my breath."

When it comes to improving control, nothing is more effective than flow.

It's a pity that Catherine doesn't have Alfred's battle-hardened life experience, nor does she have Byron's own determination to risk his life to realize the flow.

Besides being rich, talented in mathematics, and fairly diligent in his sword practice, it's no exaggeration to say that he lives a life of luxury.

Even if you have already touched this realm.

But it is not so easy to let her truly enter the flow state in the ultimate state of ecstasy between life and death.

So, Byron imitated the "breathing of all things" and used his own breathing as a medium to match Catherine's frequency and slowly guide her (Chapter 150).

breathe-

The wisps of white breath from Byron's mouth and nose instantly grabbed the airflow in the room, and then he adjusted his breathing frequency, leading Catherine to complete resonance between her breaths.

As time went by, Catherine, who had already experienced this state several times, began to have wisps of white air gradually appearing between her mouth and nose.

It's just that it's still very scattered for the time being, and its strength is far from being comparable to Byron's.

As soon as the latter retreats, she will immediately fall out of this state.

There was no other way. Even though Byron was soon sweating profusely from such careful and delicate work, he had no choice but to keep going.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but just when Byron was about to give up temporarily and try again next time.

Clang!
Suddenly, there was a clear sound of metal collision. The [Wonderful Bracelet - Silver Moon] on Catherine's arm and all the mithril ornaments on her body suddenly glowed with silver light.

But she had finally managed to enter an independent flow state, restraining her own surging power, as well as the Mithril Knight's advanced capabilities at the third level.

His eyes flashed with gold and silver, and he said in a low voice:
"Mithril Knights, summon!"

Kang dang
Three tall knights shining with silver light slammed down to the ground in a burst of silver light, filling the entire room.

They are two meters tall and covered in exquisite silver armor. To be precise, the armor is their true form, and there is no flesh and blood inside.

Each of them held a silver spear and had a pair of metal wings behind them.

This is not just for decoration. It can be used for short-distance high-speed flight, and can also be combined into a heavy tower shield in ground combat with extremely high defense.

Just out of the girl's bad taste, the contours of the visors of these silver knights all resemble Byron.

It is the signature ability of the Gold Element Sequence Mithril Knight at the third level - [Mithril Guardian].

The core skill of the second level [Mithril Hand] can transform mithril into swords, spears, armor, battle axes and other weapons.

At the third level, as long as one has enough wealth, one can summon multiple levels of Mithril Golems with a wave of the hand. They move as fast as the wind and have immense power.

They can even be divided into different types of troops and cooperate with each other in combat, making even artillery helpless against them.

It is no joke that one fortune can destroy everything.

All I can say is that Catherine is worthy of being called the "Mithril Dragon".

The mithril she had accumulated was not only enough to summon three mithril knights, but also did not affect the generation of armor and weapons on her own body.

This is not the end. After receiving the information from the Golden Law, Catherine has understood the authority she possesses.

Turning her head, she smiled at Byron:
"The power of this golden rule is much richer than the iron rule of our family's previous kingship.

Quick, release the undead servant of [Royal Hound] Vincent for me to use. "

Without further ado, Byron immediately understood what she was going to do.

She casually released Vincent, who had been put in "solitary confinement for more than half a month" by Catherine because he left the island.

This former lord was supposed to be Catherine’s guardian knight, but because he coveted her beauty and wealth, he was killed on the spot by Byron (Chapter 104).

After becoming an undead servant, although he no longer has an independent self-awareness, he still retains his original memory and his appearance is lifelike.

Catherine stretched out her left hand wearing the golden seal ring and gently moved it in the air, and the already hidden golden law responded.

"Decree: Return of the Dead.

Set responsibilities: General Manager of Internal Affairs, open corresponding permissions. "

As she activated her custom decree, she exercised one of the three core powers of the Golden Law - the power to communicate with the dead.

The Golden Law instantly extended an anchor chain, piercing through Vincent's forehead.

It also makes this undead more real.

The regent continued to issue orders:
“Access the lighthouse and call upon the knowledge and information stored in the [Silver Law] and the ocean of humanity’s collective subconscious.

Statistics on today's fiscal revenue and expenditure, personnel increase and decrease, and logistics throughput in the Taiman Islands are presented in the form of charts. "

Vincent's face was as rigid and indifferent as a machine. He bowed and said:
"As ordered."

Golden streams of light exchanged rapidly between him and the French Open.

When he was alive, he was a second-level [Punishment Knight] of the Inquisition sequence and was very familiar with communicating the law.

Soon, rows of numbers, graphics, and images gradually combined into countless charts and graphs, appearing in front of Catherine and Byron.

"Is it really possible?"

Seeing this scene, Byron immediately stepped forward and stood side by side with Catherine.

I saw the population, development level, and resources of each of the three islands in the Taiman Islands.
The construction progress of each building, material income and expenditure, warehouse reserves, and personnel structure were all presented to them visually.

It was as if Catherine was using her [Supreme Art], and everything on the 264 square kilometers of land began to be digitized, formulaicized, and statistically analyzed.

The two of them were here and had a complete view of the entire Earl's affairs.

The same was true even of the island of Taima Brac, which was occupied by the Castilians.

The basic principles of management are: quantifiable; executable; evaluable.

Byron knew very well that just with this thing, their ability to manage the territory was already far ahead of other territories by an era.

“If it were in the Old World, playing with the soul would be as strict as delving into the body, and both would be strictly prohibited or even punished by the church.

Communicating with the dead was not originally the power of the ruler.

Now we imitate the spirit of the ghost ship and give the law network a soul core with sufficient compatibility. The control efficiency is obviously very different.

The effectiveness of the iron laws of the monarchy in the Old World is completely incomparable to ours.

Sister is so awesome! "

Hearing this, Catherine became even more spirited. Not only did her eyes turn into one gold and one silver, but even her long golden hair was shining brightly.

"Byron, do you remember the sword theory you talked about when we were practicing swordsmanship?
There are three realms of swordsmanship: the sword of the swordsman, the sword of the noble, and the sword of the king.

When I just broke through the flow and learned about the power of the Golden Law, I suddenly understood the next path of the [Supreme Art]."

The voice suddenly became louder, and countless golden numbers around her began to dance, faintly transforming into sword shapes above her head:
"Use gold as the sword's tip, silver as the sword's blade, credit as the sword's spine, finance as the sword's handle, finance as the sword's scabbard, and products as the counterweight.

It is governed by market rules, implemented by power, law and force, with "investment" as the cut, "consumption" as the thrust, and "export" as the cut.

This kind of sword can thrust forward without being blocked by anyone; it can be lifted high up and nothing can stop it; it can be pressed downward and be invincible.

The gold and silver flowing in the territory are numbers and sword moves.

Compared to the swift swordplay of the Kingdom of Castile, which uses mathematical formulas and can only be used to kill people, this is the real 'Supreme Art' that can kill a country!"
