Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 325: The first thirty years are about the father respecting the son, and the last thirty years are about the son respecting the father (6000)

However, when Byron first awakened to his past life wisdom, a thought arose in the deepest part of his heart:
“If I had a chance to do it again.

I want to run, jump, swim and have adventures freely.

Go see the glaciers, deserts, auroras, vast forests, and endless seas of this world.
If I could die in the stormy sea one day, it would be the perfect redemption for me (Chapter 2)!"

He aspired to become a free pirate king, and he never had the consciousness to accept this forced arrangement.

He raised the [Rose of Thorns] in his hand and pulled the trigger at the Chief Justice standing on the opposite clock hand.

boom!boom!
The bullet, which should have hit the target with every hit, instantly passed through the opponent's body as if it were a shadow, without causing any harm to him.

It was as if the Chief Justice did not exist in this world at all.

He calmly straightened his robes, looked down on Byron's "death struggle", and sneered:
"useless.

The minute hand and the hour hand represent two parallel timelines. We can see each other, but we cannot touch each other, let alone attack each other.

The inside of the bell tower is the same as the outside, no one is allowed to come and rescue you even if you scream your throat out.

No matter how much time passes inside the clock tower, only a brief moment will pass outside.

Unless the minute hand and the hour hand meet, the two timelines will overlap for one minute.

Wait until you have passed the test of six milestones and walked step by step to me before attacking me, if you have not become a pile of old bones by then.

Ha ha ha ha"

The information he had retrieved showed that Byron Tudor first came to prominence as deputy to Executioner Bill in Anchor Bay.

In full view of the public, they rescued the great pirate Edward Redbeard, and since then they have won battle after battle and have risen to prominence.

As for his past life experience, there is no detailed information except for the biography he filled out when reporting to the Navy Department as a privateering captain.

But one thing is certain:

A civilian who has taken up the Lighthouse Sequence [Pirate] profession and has barely survived is obviously a far cry from "other people's children"!
Just think about it, in this era of low productivity, most civilians are living insecurely.

Without even basic social security and compulsory education, a boy's key achievements before adulthood mostly depend on his original family.

Without the accumulation of the previous generation, we would naturally miss too many milestones.

A pirate who is isolated from the social system would have his time deducted after just a few milestone trials and would die of old age in the clock tower.

The third-level law mage had a vicious thought:
"I hope you are lucky enough to not be an orphan in hell from the beginning and lose at the starting line right from the start."

Seeing the ineffective attack in front of him, Byron had to admit that the other party was not lying.

“This actually is a holy relic that can interfere with time.

The killing rules I just saw are probably just the tip of the iceberg. I don’t know how high the specific upper limit of the ability is.

If I could stop time on a large scale at a critical moment, wouldn't I be invincible right away?"

The three of them had apparently been hiding in another timeline from the beginning.

With this ability, he could not only ignore physical bombardment, but also avoid the all-round detection of the [Golden Law].

No matter how powerful the legal network is, it cannot reach the realm of time.

At the same time, the first milestone was finally started, and the image of Byron when he was just born at the age of 0 slowly emerged on his body.

The source of the ability of the [Social Clock] is to go back in time. Even Byron's constant [Cognitive Correction] cannot prevent this extremely high-level power from taking effect:
The northern part of the Channel Islands, Prince Sorenburg's territory.

Some manor house far more comfortable than the prince's castle.

In a luxurious bedroom surrounded by a large number of maids, maids, and a large number of third- and fourth-level female extraordinary people of the hospital sequence.

A blue-eyed, black-haired male baby was born.

Having inherited the superior bloodlines from both parents, the baby is not only very healthy, but was also clearly well-nourished while in the mother's womb, and even her hair grew very thick.

By using his own timeline to go back, Byron also saw the woman on the bed, who looked a little weak but full of love.

Obviously, it was her biological mother, whom she did not have any deep impression of in this life.

There were no portraits of her in the castles of the princely domain, and Byron had never met any maternal relatives of the Tudor family. Even her married name was changed to Lancaster.

The whole person seemed to have suddenly jumped out from between stones, which was totally inconsistent with the normal marriage norms of the nobles.

Even to her son, Byron, she was full of mystery and enigma.

Whenever he tried to find out, Edmund Lancaster would keep silent, and over time even his memory had completely faded.

As for the milestone of 0 years old, it was naturally no difficulty for him.

Because of his birth, his father was so happy that he exempted the entire Princedom of Sorenburg from taxes for the whole year.

When the uncle received the good news, he exempted the entire country from taxes for one month and ordered the allocation of materials from the royal treasury to help the poor in various places.

In the bitterly cold winter of December that year, countless people across the country were lucky enough to survive because of his birth.

It is no exaggeration to say that on the day Byron was born, the entire kingdom of Hattings was calling out his name.

The power of feudal monarchy has exceeded the imagination of many ordinary people.

Even if you look around the world, it seems that there are not many people who are more impressive than him when he was 0 years old.

"No, you, you are not Byron Tudor!"

The third-rank [Lawyer] who also saw this scene, was able to work in this extraordinary profession, so of course he must have been born into a noble family.

With the limited information he had, he gradually realized something, and his eyes couldn't help but widen a little.

He stared at Byron, hoping to make sure that he had not seen it wrong.

The minute hand moves from zero to one, passes one grid, and then opens the next milestone.

The social expectations of the Social Clock vary for different ethnic groups, cultures, countries, and genders.

The evaluation criteria for Byron are obviously based on the growth trajectory of a normal boy in the Kingdom of Hastings in the Old World.

"At the age of one, he can actively call people and clearly say dad and mom. He can walk independently and hold simple tableware such as knives and forks by himself."

Although Byron failed to awaken his innate wisdom, his natural spiritual power was much stronger than that of ordinary children. He would even call for help in advance when eating, drinking, defecating or urinating.

“At 3 years old, he can eat by himself and choose his food.

He can go to the bathroom and the toilet independently, take care of himself, put on clothes, shoes and hats, and put his toys away, etc. ”

Relying on the unique material conditions, Byron's toys have expanded to specially made children's versions of strange objects such as muskets and swords.

The non-combat treasures, precious jewelry, estates, company shares, and personal servants he possessed were more than many extraordinary people had ever seen in their entire lives.

“At the age of 7, the most important milestone is the beginning of education.

The descendants of aristocrats usually start their formal education around the age of 7.

Usually includes: family education, castle education, court school education, resident teacher education, church school education and so on. "

Byron and his sister Catherine were both taught by the kingdom's top teachers and scholars, as well as first-line extraordinary people and knights who had experienced bloody battles.

Served as a tutor for two siblings.

Starting from simple grammar and math classes, it also covers astronomy, geography, history, law, navigation knowledge, swordsmanship, and extraordinary knowledge. It covers everything.

There is not a single tutor whose rank is lower than the middle sequence, and even the transcendent fifth-level legends are not completely unheard of.

His knowledge and vision have long surpassed 99.99% of the world's population, including those with extraordinary abilities.

There has never been any such thing as happy education since I was a child.

Byron thought back to the past and realized that every day he spent since he started studying was much harder than the days in high school in his previous life.

He didn't know about other families, but Lancaster couldn't tolerate playboys.

"16 years old."

While others are busy pursuing further studies or finding a decent job.

Byron had graduated from the Royal Naval Academy ahead of schedule with excellent grades, and joined the Channel Fleet as a reserve officer for a rotation internship on a first-class battleship.

Especially worth mentioning.

During that time, his uncle Henry VI founded Eton College, an official preparatory school where many children of aristocrats gathered, and King's College, part of St. George's University, the second oldest university in the world.

Although the principal personally visited Byron and invited him to study, he felt that clerical work might not be suitable for him and finally did not go.

At this time, the minute hand had pointed to four, and was only one and a half grids away from the hour hand which had pointed to five and moved forward a little bit.

Byron's life experience before adulthood is even more standard than the standard answer. Even most of the "other people's children" can only look up to him.

But this does not mean that Byron was an outstanding genius. It was simply because his father in this life was called Edmund Lancaster.

Relying on the superior material conditions and educational resources that are among the best in the entire continent, even if he is a fool, he can become the stupid son of a landlord.

You can still ring the "social clock" on time every time and have a better resume than anyone else.

Just like what a neighboring country in Byron's previous life said about its own general:

“The general was a true genius, he learned to shoot at the age of 3 and could hit a moving target at the age of 9.

He learned to drive at the age of 3. When he was less than 8 years old, he drove 120 kilometers on a winding and sloping dirt road and arrived at his destination safely.

There is no sport that the general doesn't know, especially basketball, where he is better than the average professional player.

He has learned to ride horses since he was 6 years old, and his riding skills are better than the riders themselves."

This kind of "genius" is not fundamentally different from Byron.

At this time, the chief justice on the opposite side swallowed hard and had completely confirmed Byron's true identity.

His body was trembling subconsciously, and his voice was as dry as the friction of iron sheets:
"You are not the civilian pirate Byron Tudor, you are Byron Lancaster!

You actually got back into the kingdom system, what do you want to do? "A top traitor wanted by the York Party actually took the position of governor, quietly controlled the entire colony of the kingdom, and was responsible for the suppression of bandits.

It's obvious what he wants to do.

The mere thought of this situation was enough to scare every Yorkist to death.

Byron did not respond to him. The final milestone of adulthood at the age of 18, one of the most important life nodes for men in the Old World, had begun.

“18 years old, adult.

Men enter society and social circles, have a decent job of their own, and earn a salary that exceeds that of their peers or at least enough to support themselves.

After assuming corresponding professional responsibilities and understanding the essence of professional mottos, extraordinary people begin to awaken spiritually.

Many young people who don’t have to worry about material things are already engaged or married, and some even have children.”

After that stormy night that destroyed the country, all the advantages of the Lancaster dynasty were instantly gone from this prince.

But even so, Byron still successfully awakened his spirituality at the age of 17 and was promoted to [Storm Knight].

He immediately started a rebellion on the pirate ship "Man-eating Shark", killed the captain "Blood Eye" Salman with the help of the pursuers, and successfully sat on the throne of pirate captain.

Taking advantage of the Anchor Bay riot, they achieved the feat of destroying the First Fleet of the Strait Fleet of the Kingdom of Hattings.

Establish the [Ten Commandments of Pirates] to build a core team.

Joined Catherine and came to the Bantaan Islands. Based on her Earldom of Greenville, he established Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trade Company, Pioneer Bank, International Port, Rapid Port, West Wind Express, and Financial Street.
After rapidly being promoted to the third rank, he immediately seized the Newman family's property and status, and ascended to the throne of the colonial governor.

The Newman family and the Velasquez family have spent several generations working hard to achieve this achievement.

For Byron, or indeed for any individual, there is no doubt that he has achieved success.

He secretly acquired ownership of the Golden Code, gathered the remnants of the Lancaster Party, and began to rebuild his own administrative system.

He has already left almost all his peers in the world behind.

At this point, the minute hand has gone through most of the 18 years, and is just a little bit away from coinciding with the hour hand.

The Chief Justice standing on the hour hand could not help sweating profusely, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

He has been living a life of luxury for a long time. If he really had the confidence to kill Byron head-on, he would not have borrowed the power of the holy relic.

Just when there was only one step left, Byron's trial suddenly encountered an accident.

Everything was perfect, except for one major minus.

That's marriage!
Among the aristocratic group who have long had no worries about material wealth, 15% of them get married before the age of 6. The median age of marriage for women is 20, and for men is 22.

As “other people’s children”, when you are 18 years old, even if you are not married yet, you should at least start looking for a partner and prepare for engagement.

But what about Byron?

The number of wives his sister had saved for him was already almost unfathomable, but he didn't even have a wife!
Up to now, apart from holding hands and hugging waists with just two girls, I haven’t even had my first kiss yet.

He was not like many other aristocratic children on the mainland who became frequent visitors to red-light districts when they were just teenagers.

At this moment, even the images of Catherine and Violet, two perfect beauties, appeared behind him, one on the left and one on the right, like a pair of wings.

It still failed to prevent the punishment mechanism for falling behind in the "social clock" at this stage from being activated.

It was his long-term cleanliness (love) and self-touch (good hands) that harmed him!
"Rebellion! Rebellion!"

One harsh voice after another echoed throughout the entire bell tower.

Black arms hung down from above his head, tearing off intangible and invisible objects from Byron's body one by one.

That was the rest of his life.

However, just a small failure in the last scale was not enough to kill him.

The arms had only pulled twice when the minute hand and the hour hand completely overlapped, and the trial reached its end!
Except for a few white hairs on his temples, there was no other change in Byron. At most, two or three years of life had been taken away from him.

The spirituality that takes time to accumulate has even been enhanced a lot.

Youth is his greatest asset!

The javelin-like waist became straighter and straighter, and it stepped forward:
“To put it bluntly, the social clock is nothing more than following a relatively certain path step by step, which can minimize the insecurity in your heart.

The productivity of this world is low, and ordinary people cannot withstand any risks. Being able to stay alive is a victory.

All anxiety comes from the uncertainty of the future, which is essentially no different from the end of the universe being a system.

But the son of the richest man never has this kind of anxiety, and even boasts: I never care whether my friends are rich or not, because none of them are as rich as me anyway.

If you have already obtained wealth and power above the baseline, you can naturally arrange the lives of your descendants properly.

If not, it’s the least bad path.”

He looked at his uncle, father, mother, cousin, sister, Violet, and the retainers who had helped him grow up, appearing and disappearing behind him.

Woo woo woo.
The wind whistled in the bell tower, and two ferocious storm axes appeared in Byron's hands.

“From birth to death, every human being is in the cycle of life and cannot escape or run away.

However, the first thirty years are about the father respecting the son, and the last thirty years are about the son respecting the father.

You protected me before I became an adult. Now, it is my turn to take on the responsibility and protect you. I will give you a worry-free future and let you freely choose the life you want. "

When the Chief Justice saw the fierce posture of the "Last Lancaster", he knew that it would be difficult to resolve the issue if he had discovered his secret, so he immediately decided to take the initiative.

Holding the code in his hand, he shouted:
"The King decrees that all Lancastrians are traitors.

Law: Behead! "

A ray of black light shot out from the fingertips and turned into an illusory guillotine, which chopped down Byron fiercely.

Facing this full-strength attack from a third-level transcendent, Byron simply tilted his head casually, and the sharp blade smashed into pieces on his neck.

"What? This is impossible!"

Seeing the judge's face suddenly turn into despair, the "outlaw" Byron smiled coldly:
"The Social Clock may have launched a special attack on civilians, but now it's my turn to launch a special attack on the Inquisition."

He rushed forward with two storm axes in hand and chopped the [Law Mage], who was not much stronger than an ordinary person after leaving the power of the law, into pieces from head to toe.

"Ah ah ah ah ah"

Before his death, Byron did not forget to use his finger to press a bloody handprint on "Faust Contract", "trading" away his signature ability [Law].

However, just like there is an upper limit to the spiritual load when contracting a sea monster, Byron cannot receive unlimited abilities of the same level.

He already had [Execution in a Dream], which was just right for his sister, the regent who often stayed in the base camp and managed the entire territory.

[Law] and her [Supreme Art] that can kill a country just complement each other.

The Chief Justice's third-level flesh, blood, and soul all became Byron's trophies.

Unfortunately, after his death, the [Level 1 Relic: Social Clock] dissipated on the spot.

Byron was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that this was similar to the [Scales of Domination], but it was just a projection of the holy relic sealed in the [Pawnbroker] card, not the holy relic itself.

The disappointment on his face flashed away:
"I failed to ring the Social Clock perfectly and did not receive its recognition. Even if I were here, I would not be able to use this treasure.

On the bright side, since it's just a projection of my abilities, I don't have to worry about my secret identity being exposed. This result is barely acceptable.

But I accepted the [world's first matchlock rifle] without hesitation."

The clock tower collapsed, and the musketeer and gourmet who were hiding in another space at the bottom of the building were immediately exposed.

The golden law instantly opened the maze of national borders and surrounded them.

The great wizard [Swarm] who has recovered acts as the vanguard.

Violet, Jacqueline the Chameleon, Alfred the Blood Whiskey, Eight Fingers the Honest, and Guts the Phantom Blade led the mighty "Death Wings" and rushed in.

"You, the Barony of Stromgarde, cannot kill us. We are the Kingdom's Army Department."

"Ah!" "Ah!"

After two screams, there was no sound.

[The world’s first matchlock rifle] also fell into Violet’s hands. The master craftsman’s alchemical enchantment and the witch’s “disaster spell” are also a perfect match for the rifle.

Just as the Chief Justice himself said, the intelligence error turned the special attack weapon into a scraping knife.

He also generously offered treasures, souls, flesh and blood, and extraordinary abilities, allowing Byron, who was living on war, to become even fatter.

A chaos arose and then disappeared.

Byron called the unhappy-looking [Insect Swarm] back on board.

Violet followed him because she was afraid something might happen to him again.

Looking at the few white hairs that suddenly appeared on his temples, tears of heartache almost fell.

After experiencing this assassination, Byron's state of mind was completely different. He seemed to feel that there was still an invisible pointer following him closely.

That pointer is called: years!
[Social Clock] On the surface, it did not cause much harm to him, but his psychological spring was tightened several times.

He originally thought that he was very young and was not in a hurry for the cup of "blood of eternal life".

At this moment, he wished he could skip the second ritual [Blood Feast Holy Grail] and complete the third ritual [Scarlet Holy Grail] immediately.

"Only humans, with their short life spans, are subject to the 'social clock'.

Once you become an immortal species like the Night Demon, you will immediately jump out of the life cycle of short-lived species.

If you can live for thousands of years, how can you be bound by just time?

This Bloodthirsty Cult, I'm determined to take it!"
