Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 197: Conspiracy Resurfaces, Treasure

The grand engagement ceremony that followed was uneventful.

However, the engagement dress that Miss Tilly was wearing used the fabric of five people, which became an anecdote in Royal Port that day.

However, Bruch, wearing a shaman mask and disguised as Bill, looked at his fiancée who cast a large shadow in the sunset, shrouding him tightly.

A broad forehead, a flat nose, slightly sagging cheeks due to being too fat, and a trembling double chin
The bloated body is like a city wall. Just standing there is like a safe haven.

Especially when looking into those eyes full of tenderness and affection, I couldn't help but shiver.

"No, I'm used to vomiting, but today I feel like something is different about Tilly."

During this period of time, Bruch has become much stronger than before.

After being promoted to the second level, he gradually discovered the various functions of the holy relic on his face.

[Symbol of Deity]: Can communicate with the god of death Apuché and borrow some of his power.

With the destruction of the Tarsal God, this ability became much safer, and he was able to use it skillfully with his strong willpower.

The second-level core ability [Oath of Heroic Spirit] can summon famous heroes in the history of one's own nation or country to possess and assist in battle, and share the special abilities of the corresponding heroes.

The heroic spirits of the twelve Knights of the Round Table, although their names sound nice, are essentially still undead souls sleeping in the Silver Law.

After activating this ability, one can borrow even greater power from the chosen Sun Knight Gawain.

The ability of [Psychic Medium] is the same, which allows telepathy to make the Oathed Heroic Spirits act at their command, pushing the degree of compatibility between the two to a rapid level.

He practiced perfect breathing with Byron for more than half a month, but he still hadn't completely broken through the flow state.

But just relying on this one holy relic, Bruch instantly narrowed the gap between him and the senior second-level gourmet [Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred.

Moreover, when this mask is worn on the face, not only does one's strength increase significantly, but one also becomes extremely sensitive to "spirits".

Even though he couldn't see it on the surface, he instinctively felt that something seemed to be wrong with Tilly.

After all, a man's body is the most honest.

Originally, the most intuitive feeling when seeing this "heavy tank" was nausea.

But now, strangely enough, I feel that the other person is pretty, even charming and affectionate.

Then comes the fear.

That’s right, fear that goes deep into the bone!
Tilly, who looked exactly the same as before, sent a chill down his spine.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!

There must be something wrong between the two of us."

The more Bruch thought about it, the more scared he became. He just wanted to find his master, who was worried that he would accidentally vomit after eating too much, to help him check it out.

Major General Newman, who looked relaxed, came over first, pulled him aside, and said to him solemnly:
“Bill, you are now my real son-in-law.

Listen up. The celebrations that go by the name of an engagement party won't be over for a week.

Most of Hastings' sailors and extraordinary people were also concentrated in Port Royal.

I will allocate a sum of money to you, and you should hurry up and recruit crew members. If that doesn't work, I will send out a conscription team to capture all suitable sailors.

Expand your own team in the shortest possible time.

Byron is too thoughtful, you are my real one.

This amount is the money he paid me for purchasing equipment, and I am going to spend it all on you."

Bruch looked strange:
'Left hand to right hand, then back to left hand? Well done!'

At this moment, I could only put aside the previous abnormality. When I heard his words, I pretended to know nothing and asked in confusion:
"Sir, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry to expand the army?"

"Look at this."

Major General Newman handed him a brand new roll of parchment and continued:

“Originally, we were too busy with the crisis to take care of anything else.

Now, the crisis has been temporarily resolved, but the Newman family does not have much time left.

I have asked Mr. James, the third-level [Navigator] who came with us to the Bantaan Islands, to take a look at it.

This treasure map of Treasure Island is real.

According to legend, there are countless gold coins and jewels, mountains of gold and silver, lakes with gemstones at the bottom, rivers with pearls at the bottom, and vast forests with emerald leaves on the Treasure Island.
The wealth contained therein is enough to rival that of an entire country.

The prime number year pattern will only appear in a corner of the ocean. The first time it occurs is after a 2-year interval, and the second time it occurs after a 3-year interval.

接着是5、7、11、13、17
It is said that the current prime number cycle is 11 years, and the next Treasure Island will appear next month.

Although we don't know the exact time when the great pirate Flint buried the treasure.

But it had been 28 years since Treasure Island first appeared, and another 13 years until its next appearance.

For most adventurers who have not completed the second biochemical ritual and transformed into non-human 'supernatural species'.

I am afraid that I don't have enough physical strength or energy to hope for the next adventure. I must seize the opportunity and not miss it.

This time, whichever force can take over Treasure Island will be able to rise to prominence at the fastest speed during this power vacuum in the Bantaan Islands."

At this point, he also patiently said to Bill:

“Byron has gained the trust of Countess Catherine and even made friends with the indigenous city-states, thus obtaining the qualification to build a city in Yucatan.

The name of [Sea Hunter] has spread throughout half of the Bantaan Islands.

Do you want to be stepped on by your former subordinates?
My child, although money is not omnipotent, it can solve 99% of the world's problems.

As long as you seize this opportunity, you may become the next powerful general in the kingdom, or even the naval marshal!"

Havana, a colony of the Kingdom of Castile.

In the blooming garden of the Governor's Palace.

"Brother-in-law——!"

Selina, as pitiful and helpless as a little white flower, raised her snow-white neck high and uttered a tender call like the first cry of a nightingale.

It took a long time before he recovered from his paralyzed state.

She dragged her weak body and turned back to look at Governor Velasquez who was holding her on the swing, blushing and speaking softly:

“Diego, I am already very satisfied that you can take a little time out of your busy government affairs to accompany me. You should go and accompany your sister in the evening.

Go to bed early, the attendants will have a lot of government affairs to trouble you with tomorrow."

The Governor, who had just been relieved, smiled like a sage and pecked the delicate earlobe of the little white flower:

“You’re always so kind.

Don't worry about your sister, and don't worry about my government affairs.

This time, without Beatrice as the middleman, the people from the Flayed Church contacted me on their own initiative.

If these secret sects want to advance, they cannot do without the anchor of the [Silver Law] and must cooperate with us. There is no need to worry that they will lose control.

Those skin-wearing people were the strongest lurkers and assassins. They infiltrated the Azik Empire silently and were not discovered.

A few days ago, I sent them to sneak into the most rampant privateering teams and pirate gangs, and collected all kinds of intelligence continuously.

These daring fellows dared to take advantage of the situation and attack the Castilian colony. I will make them pay a heavy price immediately."

Velasquez's ancestors were the first group of pioneers who followed the great navigator Christopher the Discoverer to discover the Bantaan Islands.

Although there was no supreme honor like the four kings carrying the coffin after Christopher's death.

However, they also made great contributions. In three years, they conquered Havana, the largest island in the east with a total area of ​​11 square kilometers, from the indigenous people.

Served as the first Governor of Havana.

From then on, until it was passed down to his generation, no further progress was made by the descendants of the family.

The tender words to the lover are also full of ambition:
"Dear little Selina, I have distributed many copies of the treasure map of Treasure Island.

It will definitely cause a major riot throughout the Bantaan Islands.

You want to take advantage of our temporary decline in power? Then I will drag everyone down with me!

In particular, a guy nicknamed "Sea Hunter" from the Kingdom of Hastings got a great bargain and has successfully built a city on Yucatan Island.

Such a prominent bird must be suppressed at the first opportunity, and then stepped on with ten thousand feet, so that he will never be able to stand up again, so as to serve as a warning to the monkeys and deter the scoundrels. "

Obviously, as his own power expanded rapidly, Byron himself had become "a tree that stood out in the forest" and could no longer hide himself easily.

This is also the only way for every sapling to grow into a towering tree.

There is no hiding, no avoiding.

All we can do is to keep strengthening ourselves and be prepared to face wind and rain.

“Legend has it that in addition to countless gold and silver treasures, there is also the crystal skull of the Taya Empire and the 882 cursed gold coins that Flint stole from us Castilians.

Although those gold coins must never be spent, once spent, the undead spirits of the Azik people will take their lives immediately.

However, it can transform the holder into a real living dead, forcibly locking them between life and death, and making them immune to all physical attacks.

Any external injuries will be restored to their original state when exposed to moonlight, and you can become a normal person again by putting the gold coins back into the treasure chest.

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

This huge number of 882 pieces can be used to create a simplified version of the [King's Left Hand].

That will also be my support to take one step closer to the fourth level."

A man who is devoted to his career is particularly charming. Selina, who was held in the Governor's arms, could not help but be moved again. With a slightly blushing face, she leaned close to the latter's ear and said:
"Can we do it again? This time I choose the grape trellis. Brother-in-law~"
