Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 251 New Entry: The Three Musketeers

Boom!

There was a loud bang, and flames burst out from the [black and white keys].

Violet activated her magical boots again and fired at the rushing Hermann while pulling Byron back with her.

"I understand!"

When Byron realized that he had made the same misjudgment as many others, he was slightly stunned and immediately thought of the key to the ceremony.

The ritual requirement of "Pirate Treasure Chest" is: you can complete the promotion by surviving and obtaining a treasure that best represents the glory of a great pirate's life.

According to the information known in the past, everyone felt that the thing that best represented the glory of a great pirate's life was definitely a fleet that plundered treasures.

Naturally, the thing promised in the contract was chosen as [Azik's Cursed Gold Coin].

Even Byron, before he met Flint in person, was not immune to this.

But when he learned that this great pirate had another identity, the Lantern Bearer of the Lighthouse Union, this assumption no longer held true.

In the eyes of the collective consciousness of mankind, the glory of the Lantern Man and his contribution to the world are obviously far beyond the reach of a pirate.

Therefore, the treasure that best represents the glory of his life should be the "Faustian Contract" used to protect this world.

Suddenly raised his head and looked upward.

There, as the time for "dinner" got closer, a huge crack-like portal appeared more and more frequently.

It was almost completely fixed above the Blood Lake.

Strands of blood were floating towards the crack against gravity.

At the border between the two worlds, the light of a lighthouse was visibly getting dimmer, and it seemed that it might go out at any time.

Instead, the golden and red aura of "Faust Contract" itself penetrated the gap between the two worlds and shone on both parties.

“This contract belongs to me!

If I get it, I will become the most powerful and richest pawnbroker in the world.

Even if I become the first fifth-rank king who started out as a pawnbroker, it is definitely not a dream. "

A card suddenly jumped out of Velasquez's palm and fell into the shadow under his feet.

The shadow expanded rapidly and turned into a skeletal warhorse covered with tattered ropes and caltrops, with sparks spewing out of its mouth and nose. It was the mount of the Tarsal God.

Velasquez jumped onto the horse, squeezed the horse's belly, and instantly rose into the sky like a wisp of invisible and intangible green smoke.

Seeing how positive Velasquez was, it was clear that the terms of his contract would not be something like "Lantern Bearer" who needed to take responsibility.

No wonder extraordinary people like to fall into depravity at any time, that is truly in line with human nature.

Byron saw that the situation was not good, and immediately shouted:
"Velasquez, who do you think this is?"

The undead attendant [The Enchantress] Beatrice, with a dull look in her eyes, then appeared behind him.

Even though she has been dead for a long time, she is still as charming and enchanting as a beautiful snake.

When Velasquez unexpectedly saw the woman with whom he had spent countless wonderful nights, he was startled and stopped.

And after all the knowledge of the third-level great wizard Beatrice was taken away by the logbook, it was instantly burned out, and Byron was once again pushed to the third level.

The Wild Hunt Knight rode his ghostly warhorse and leaped out from the pale blue flames.

Byron pulled Violet onto the horse as well and held her in his arms.

He took advantage of his competitor's distraction and immediately chased after him.

Between suspended death sentence and immediate execution, he prefers suspended death sentence.

“Sea Hunter, you are actually the Wild Hunt?!
Ahhhh, give us our golden code back."

Velasquez's reaction speed is no slower than [Blue Hair].

I immediately connected the cause and effect. The Barbary pirates were only cheated once, but the Castilians were cheated twice by the Wild Hunt.

New and old grudges surged into his heart, and with a wave of his hand, a group of shadow arrows as powerful as a crossbow shot out.

Byron waved his lance to block all the shadow arrows.

Violet fired with both guns, but her shots were blocked by a shadow on the opponent's body.

Hermann, the only one left on the ground, shouted angrily and recited the Sword Saint's poem from the manuscript:

"Use your skills with moderation, defeat the enemy, cut into their bodies, dodge and move!"

He stepped on the ground with his feet and rose into the air like a meteor. His figure flashed one after another, and he landed on the back of Velasquez's horse in an instant.

Sat behind the Governor.

He held the sword in both hands and slashed back at Byron.

clang!clang!clang!
As the weapons clashed, a huge roar like hammering iron suddenly sounded above the third floor.

If he could speak human language, he would definitely shout:

"Heretic Hunt, die!"

As a member of the hunting team, his mission in Bantaan this time was to hunt down the Wild Hunt.

There are thousands of powerful men on the sea, and Captain Byron has offended half of them.

For Byron, this time it really was a matter of success or failure.

If he fails to kill the Governor of Havana and the Quasi-Sword Saint Herman from the Holy Silver Empire, he will have no choice but to abandon the foundation he has just established and run away in disgrace.

The two riders fought and rushed forward, and after both of them entered the crack, they headed straight for the lighthouse of Flint.

At the same time, Byron also took advantage of the dim light and caught a glimpse of the true face of the [Greedy Worm Mammon] in the distant source sea. It was a giant cicada, flesh-colored, with six legs that were human hands, and a human face that looked like a golden mask.

Excessive knowledge is released all the time, causing the nearby sea area to be distorted and full of illusions.

Palace gardens, fine wine and food, jewels and beauties. It's like an extremely tempting mirage.

But he believed that if he really reached out to grab it, regardless of what the outcome would be, he would definitely be able to get something real.

"This is a greedy wishing machine!"

It was this moment of eye contact that allowed Byron to completely complete the last piece of the puzzle of "The Mystery of the Growth of Wealth on Treasure Island" with the information he obtained from it.

Andrew once said that whenever cicadas chirp outside, Treasure Island will appear; when cicadas chirp inside the island, an irresistible crisis will come.

Summer is the season of cicadas.

There is a kind of cicada that only emerges from the soil in prime number years. This kind of cicada is called a "periodic cicada."

In order to avoid competing for food, prime number periods evolved to reduce the number of encounters.

比如13年蝉和17年蝉每221年（13乘以17）才会同时出现一次。

This means that their larvae hibernate underground for more than ten years, just to sing for one summer.

The cicada-like [Greedy Insect] also has similar characteristics. Among its followers there are different prime number groups, and they only appear to forage for food every prime number of years.

Riding on the Treasure Island that spans the two worlds, enter the real world to find food, and then return to the Sea of ​​​​Source after completing metamorphosis.

And use countless greedy souls to worship the [Greed Worm].

By the way, turning the treasure hunters who come to the island into gold and silver can attract more treasure hunters the next time they appear.

The cycle repeats itself, getting stronger and stronger.

In mysticism, cicadas usually symbolize "rebirth from the shed skin, the immortality of the soul."

The moment he saw that indescribable thing, Byron always felt that this corpse that had fallen into eternal sleep would be resurrected one day.

At the same time, the decryption density of [Secret: The Mystery of the Wealth Growth of Treasure Island, Historical Influence 29] has also been advanced to 100%.

The spiritual energy that was fed back not only made up for Byron's consumption from successive battles, but also settled down, waiting for him to break through the third-order limit before another round of rapid growth would come.

"Captain, you have obtained a new entry."

The logbook automatically turns pages.

In addition to the historical revisionist; the mortal enemy; the outlaw; you are not the murderer; why do you want to carve your name on my pipe, there is a sixth entry.

Moreover, this time, for the first time, three options are given, and you can choose any one of them.

[Entry: You have two tricks]:
As long as the enemy is not one major realm higher than you, no matter who you are fighting against, you will be able to survive the first two moves. Even the most powerful enemy will take three moves to kill you.

[Article: Resurrection, my love]:
If after you die, your teammates say to your corpse: "It moved, damn, it moved, he is alive", you can crawl up and continue to live as an undead creature.

【Article: The Three Musketeers】:
As we all know, the Three Musketeers actually consists of four people, Athos, Porthos and Alamis, plus the protagonist d'Artagnan.

It's just common sense, just like there are five of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Ability: Add one extra quota to all supernatural abilities that currently have limited quotas.

For example, the current upper limit of [Wild Hunt Servant] under the title [Wild Hunt] is three, which can be increased to four.

For example, in "The King's Right Hand" there are sixteen positions, including one king, one queen, two chariots, two bishops (or prime ministers), two knights, and eight guards.

You can add as many as you want, for example: one dragon and two coughs, that's it.

"What kind of stuff are these rewards? You have some skills. We're going to die anyway, so why would we need one or two more tricks?

Wouldn't it be like the second Uncle Andrew if I lived as a ghost? The ancestors of the Lancaster family were crying!

As for the last one, well, I'll choose one later depending on the situation."

Burning hoof prints were left in the air as the two horses galloped side by side into the top floor of the lighthouse.

The lightning-fast [Secret Sword Technique: Fingertip Gun] shook out a whistling gun shadow and collided desperately with the two-handed sword blessed by the Sword Saint's poems.

Byron felt unprecedented pressure, his arms were numb and his bones were groaning.

If the opponent was not good at horse fighting, I would probably be defeated soon.

The sharp sword energy cut everything inside the lighthouse into pieces.

The "Faust Contract" floated up in the air flow, sometimes on the left, sometimes on the right.

Just as the two sides were at loggerheads and neither side was willing to give in, the three-minute limit was passing by.

Byron thought that the condition for completing the ceremony only required obtaining it, and did not require complete possession, so he silently apologized to Flint.

"Open it for me!"

The black and white Faust Contract was suddenly torn into two halves by a sword energy.

The two riders rushed forward and each grabbed a part.

The one in Byron's hand was a normal one with gold letters on a white background, and was only one-third complete, while the one in Velasquez's hand was a full two-thirds, all black with red letters.

And at the moment when Byron's fingertips touched "Faust Contract".

call--!
A strong wind suddenly blew in this maze deep underground.

Countless storm spirits seemed to be alive, cheering and dancing around Byron, moving in and out of his body with his breathing.

Everyone in the maze instantly felt a strong emotion in the wind around them.

That's the taste of freedom!
