Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 258 Give the world a little shock from the new world

On the sixth day after Treasure Island appeared, at dusk, the third rainbow light quietly shattered.

The sunset glow in the sky was as red as blood, illuminating the entire Treasure Island, making every golden leaf, every golden apple, and every silver coin glow with a dazzling blood color.

"I know, I ...

The chaotic chirping of cicadas has enveloped the entire island, while the human voices are becoming less and less.

On the sea surrounding the island, only seven or eight sailboats were able to successfully weigh anchor and set sail, carrying the treasure farther and farther away.

More sailboats anchored on the shore are destined to be completely swallowed up by the time flow at ten times the speed while Treasure Island disappears from the material world.

"We finally escaped alive."

"Roar! Long live the captain!"

On the Golden Hind, the pirates, whose bodies were covered with gold, jewels (not a single silver coin) and antique jewelry, cheered.

The elite Marines led by Byron stayed in the [Overseas Development Order] most of the time, so they didn't suffer much loss on this treasure hunt.

At this time, not only was everyone given a cursed gold coin by Byron, but they also became the first backbone members of the Guards [Deathwing].

They were also promised that everyone could get treasure equal to one-fifth of their own body weight, which was a win without any effort.

Especially compared with other teams that landed on the island at the same time but ended up miserably, their admiration for Byron was already beyond measure.

Of course, they were not the only team that survived and found the treasure.

There are still five or six third-level teams that survived, those that were not too greedy and reckless and whose character could stand the test.

Even they could not withstand the continuous attacks from the low-sequence cicada people.

There is no need to wait until the island sinks. If we can't get out before nightfall tonight, we will never be able to get out again.

With the new [Lantern Bearer] taking office and the human-god contract being established, there is no need to worry about the cicada people chasing humans out of the island in the next ten days.

In fact, even if no one died on the island, the combined earnings of all the survivors would not be as much as Byron alone.

No one except Violet, who was in charge of packing the things, and himself knew how rich he was now.

The most interesting thing is that all the treasure hunters who reached the third floor with them and saw part of the truth have been killed or become their own people.

No outsider knows the true identity of the Wild Hunt, no one knows the existence of the Faustian Contract, and no one knows what the Midas Touch looks like.

As for other things that did not involve core secrets, they could not be hidden from others.

For example: [Sea Hunter] Byron Tudor completed the "Pirate Treasure Chest" after the trip to Treasure Island, obtained the "key item" Azik's Cursed Gold Coin, and successfully promoted to "Great Pirate".

The legendary level of [Title·Sea Hunter] has quietly reached 18 points, and is not far from 20 points.

Once this news ferments for a while in the Bantaan Islands, he will naturally gain a new title ability.

This is the essence of inheriting the great pirate legend.

Whenever the more famous pirate is mentioned, one naturally thinks of the up-and-coming pirate who conquered his treasure trove.

At this point, the Sea Hunter has completely surpassed his old superior "Bill" and become the undisputed number one among the seven pirate generals of Hastings!
The conditions are ripe for further progress.

"Byron, the [Flaming Rose] and the [Lancer] have already arrived nearby.

Do we still need to kill the survivors along the way as originally planned?
Most of them can't even muster enough sailors and are completely vulnerable."

Violet walked up to Byron and said the cruelest words in the gentlest tone.

The latter looked at the other sailboats moving away in other directions, hesitated for a moment, and then rejected her proposal.

“No, take a long-term view.

I am worried that the major forces will suffer heavy losses this time. What if they don’t come when Treasure Island reappears in two years?

If you can accomplish great things and solve critical problems with little money, why not do it? "

Although the mountains of gold and silver on Treasure Island are very tempting.

But if the treasure hunters don't get any rewards once, twice, or three times, they will probably stop coming after a while.

Only when treasure hunters who have returned with a great treasure come forward from time to time to share their experiences can we continue to inspire the enthusiasm of others for treasure hunting.

It also makes the gold and silver on the island increase!

This works exactly like the lottery, where many people’s money is pooled into a jackpot of the century to create wealth for one person.

You only pay money when you buy lottery tickets, but they pay their lives.

In the end, only a few participants need to be given a little bit of the benefits, while Master Byron must at least take 70% of it!

"Oh, by the way, I can also use the artificial star-making plan to find a few of my own people to come out and receive the award.

Then spend money to buy two pages from the Lighthouse Weekly.

It doesn't need anyone to actually get the treasure, just make others think they can get the money.

I am such a little genius.

Do this next time!"

In fact, the situation on the other ships was exactly what Byron imagined.

Several other ships had just set sail, and the captains' unified action was to record the navigation log of the trip.

"Write it down. Write it all down. If I have the chance to visit this island again next time, I will definitely gain much more than this time."

He wrote quickly with the quill pen in his hand.

From "Rule 1, everyone must bribe the gold-eating ants guarding the beach with two gold coins before they can land on the island."

"Rule 2: You must control your greed. Otherwise, greed will turn your blood into gold.

In fact, it represents the power of turning stone into gold!"

"Rule 3, the colorful rainbow light above the island will decrease layer by layer" and then the newly added "Rule 4, equivalent exchange:
The materials a person can take away from Treasure Island, including water, food, treasures, etc., must not exceed his or her own weight.

It is most cost-effective to find a burly extraordinary person with the Gladiator profession to go to the island."

“Rule Five: In the darkness of privacy, a person’s dark desires will continue to be amplified.

The longer you stay on the island, the stronger your possessiveness becomes.

Before landing on the island, you must carefully select your crew members. The higher their moral standards, the less likely they are to die in vain."

"Rule Six: When the cicadas start chirping, retreat immediately!"

These very few adventurers who managed to survive completed some of the rules of the Treasure Island Secret Realm in their own logbooks.

A few days later, they returned to shore with the logbook and part of the treasure.

No one will remember how many people died on this island, how high the risk factor was, and how pitiful the survival rate was.

Those who dream of getting rich overnight will only remember those survivors who brought back large sums of treasure.

Then when the next opportunity comes, keep going. Keep going!

I fantasize that I will be that lucky person.

However, they don’t know that when this game was first designed, there was no such “winner”.

Just as the few surviving treasure hunters bid farewell to the man-eating Treasure Island and returned home.

The [Contracted Devil] that escaped into the Sea of ​​Essence and the one-third of the Faust Contract also returned to the material world through a world crack wider than the Treasure Island.

According to the rating of the Lighthouse Association, this crack must be rated as a level one crack.

It is enough to allow high-sequence monsters and evil spirits to pass through.

If this crack appeared anywhere in the Old World, it would be enough to cause the local kingdoms and the church's [Night Watch] forces to be on high alert.

But it's very strange here that there is not even a guard to be found.

There was a thick fog in front of me, and the air was filled with a wet, sticky fishy smell, which made people feel a chill from the bones.

It is still unknown what kind of horrible killing rules this secret realm corresponds to.

Of course, these are not within the consideration of the contracted devil. As an evil spirit, it only wants to eat people!
Using a greedy soul in his perception as a beacon, he landed lightly on a stone path covered with strange moss that looked like hair.

Soon after.

A tall figure walked out of the mist.

In the fog with extremely low visibility, it seemed to be a humanoid creature about 200 cm tall, with scales and fins on its body, and a head that looked more like a fish than a human.

He immediately noticed the Faustian Contract on the ground and picked it up.

Indistinct language came out of his mouth, gurgling like bubbles.

Then I continued forward, and after taking only two steps I heard the sound of rolling waves coming from the fog.

call--!
Just at this moment, a sea breeze with a fishy smell blew, and the fog in front of me dissipated a little.

The [Contracted Devil] raised his head along with the strange figure.

They discovered that this was actually an ancient city half submerged in sea water, cold and damp, completely different from any other place in the Old World.

The structures of the buildings are abnormal and completely contrary to geometry.

Its unprecedented spatial structure and dimensions will create a strong sense of disgust in people.

The buildings are made of huge, slippery green stones that seem to come from the bottom of the sea. The city is full of dizzyingly tall stone carvings, magnificent stone statues and gorgeous reliefs.

But both the statues and the reliefs were engraved with disgusting and sticky tentacles, giving people a strong sense of discomfort as if they had fallen into a nest of tentacles.

The huge city seemed empty except for that figure. It was dead silent, cold and chilling.

Further out in the distance are endless mudflats, swamps, mountains, and the boundless expanse of land.

There is no need to doubt it anymore, this is the new world that countless adventurers are desperately searching for!
When the evil spirit retracted its gaze, the strange figure in front of it, which had finally walked out of the thick fog and the city, had quietly changed into another appearance.

Wearing a top hat, formal suit, walking stick and gold-rimmed glasses, he was a young gentleman dressed in the upper-class style of the Old World.

But even a fool knows that “he” is definitely not it!
After the fog dissipated slightly, a long coastline consisting of silt, wetlands, and huge moss-covered rocks appeared in front of the two.

In the milky white mist on the sea, an adventure ship that was obviously of Old World style was floating up and down.

On the Castilian-style, beautifully carved stern gallery at the stern, the name of the ship is clearly written - May Wind.

This is actually the May Wind that Havana Governor Velazquez mentioned was about to find the New World!
This was clearly an excellent adventure ship that had just been in contact with the country not long ago, but now it looked like it had suffered a shipwreck and had just been fished out of the deep sea, with barnacles and seaweed all over its body.

The hull was full of holes, the sails were tattered, the whole ship was lifeless, and not a single human voice could be heard.

Byron would never have imagined that he might really have the talent of a great prophet and that his words would come true.

This pioneer adventure ship, led by a fourth-level adventurer, had an accident that happened at some point in time.

The "young gentleman" wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked to the front of the expedition ship, spread his hands, and laughed wildly:
"Mr. Balboa, please bring back greetings from us, the descendants of the exiles, to your compatriots."

嘤——!
As soon as the words fell, the entire lifeless strange warship seemed to suddenly come back to life, and six huge blood-red eyes like lanterns instantly opened in the holes on both sides.

Several thick black shadows suddenly swung under the water at the stern, causing the boat to dive underwater like a swimming fish.

Then, a white line of water on the gloomy sea surface gradually moved away from the "World Serpent - Celestial Circumference Belt" in the north, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Obviously, who stipulates that those atrocious colonizers will encounter weak civilizations that they can take whatever they want during their overseas colonial activities?
In the unknown dark forest, every silent civilization may be a gun-wielding hunter.

There is no need to wait until the adventurers from the Old World find the New World before you experience the little shocks from the New World.

Watching the white water line disappear into the distance, the "young gentleman" adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Behind the bright lenses were a pair of blue eyes like the ocean of a local Bay resident!
