Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 326 Blasphemy! Forbidden Book: Gospel of Heaven
Hattings home town, Kingston the capital, Earl of Warwick's palace.

Bang!
A desk in the luxurious study exploded with a loud bang, shattering into countless broken wood chips in the air, which then fell down one after another.

"My elite assassination team is gone?
Byron Tudor, I will kill you!"

A low roar made the legal network covering the entire capital city take shape in the Earl's Palace.

A heavy feeling of oppression fell on the hearts of everyone in the mansion, making them feel as if they were standing in front of an angry dragon, their legs trembling and terrified to death.

Many timid maids even collapsed on the ground due to sore limbs.

[The King Maker] Warwick's face was frighteningly cold, as if a layer of hoarfrost could be scraped off from it with a knife.

“The three-member elite assassination team had just reported that they had arrived at the destination for the mission, but they were all dead within half a day.

What exactly happened?
According to the intelligence from that pariah, and the action plan reported by the team, the assassination should have been foolproof. Why did the mission fail and not even a single person escape? "

He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, which only made him even angrier.

"Byron Tudor, you made me lose three precious third-level elites at once. I will make sure you die miserably!"

This time it was intended to make an example of someone and warn the monkeys, to demonstrate to the royal party which had been in high spirits recently.

However, he did not expect that he would end up losing more than he gained. Not only did he lose three elite soldiers, he also lost the world's first matchlock rifle. Warwick was so heartbroken that he almost vomited blood on the spot.

Buzz buzz.
In a corner of the study, a broken bronze sword placed on the weapon rack made a clanging sound.

It seemed that it sensed the murderous intent of its master and was eager to fly up and kill people.

Unfortunately, this fragment of the [Level 193 Holy Relic: Sword of Damocles] is only for internal use and not for external use. It must be in accordance with the laws of the kingdom to be effective (Chapter ).

Only when someone breaks the law can you put a sword to his neck and kill or take his life at will.

Perhaps it is a powerful weapon against the subjects within its own ruling system, but it has almost no killing power against external parties.

Only if the divine sword can be completely recast can one obtain the supreme power to kill any king in the world.

Until there is evidence of Governor Byron's guilt, no matter how powerful the sword is, it cannot hurt him at all.

Just like the last time the tax inspection team's action started off well but ended badly.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing the sound coming from the study, a pretty and lovely girl in a pink dress hurried in and spoke to him with concern.

At this time, only the earl's beloved daughter dared to get close to Warwick when he was angry.

When Warwick saw his beloved daughter, his anger was suppressed and he forced a smile at the girl:
"Baby, I'm fine. It's just because of a nobody.

Soon he will disappear from this world."

Warwick regained his senses and began to re-weigh the pros and cons.

As his daughter Isabel's relationship with George, Duke of Clarence became public, even an engagement ceremony was scheduled in full swing.

The middle and lower-level officials, gentry, large landowners, big businessmen, etc. in the kingdom thought that reconciliation between the royal party and the earl party was finally beginning.

Only some of the [Prophets] in the High Tower sequence and old foxes in the political arena vaguely realized that the capital was undercurrent and a storm was about to come.

Warwick, at the center of the vortex, is already short of manpower.

There really is not enough energy and manpower to waste a month traveling all the way to the Bantaan Islands to carry out the assassination just to vent one's anger.

He also had to admit that the colony ruled by Byron was already an ironclad entity that could not be easily pried open by a few assassins.

He reached out and pressed down the Sword of Damocles, snorting in his heart:

“Byron Tudor, I’ll let you go for now.

My biggest rivals now are Edward IV, the Privy Council, and his father-in-law Richard Woodville, who fights for him.

Once I have gained control of the [Royal Sphere] through George, one of the Three Phantom Suns, I will immediately send the [Executioner] to chop off your head in your dream!"

The northeast corner of the Bantaan Islands, at the end of the first circulation belt, is on the edge of the Bahamas, which consists of more than 700 islands and more than 2400 reefs.

There stands a medium-sized island that has already protruded somewhat into the Sea of ​​Monsters - Shampoo Island.

The island is named after the magical fruit called "Chambo Fruit" which is unique to the island.

The flesh of this fruit is a mixture of the sweetness of pineapple and the mellow fragrance of mango, which is extremely delicious.

Moreover, regardless of whether men or women, soon after eating the shampoo fruit, their bodies will exude a fragrance that smells as rich and fragrant as violets.

Even if you don't take a bath for ten years, even years of body odor can be easily covered up.

It is said that different people will have completely different feelings when they smell this scent, but it will definitely be one of their favorite scents.

According to people who have eaten it, not only will the body produce a strange fragrance, but even farts and poop will be filled with a charming aroma.

After eating the shampoo fruit, you will instantly become an enhanced super "Fragrant Concubine"!
Shampoo fruit also has a hidden magical effect, which is that it can provide perfect contraception without any side effects within a few days after eating it.

It is simply the chosen one in the fruit world for lovers' trysts.

Naturally, it attracted the crazy pursuit of noble ladies and dignitaries from all over the mainland.

Especially those strange people who never take a bath in their entire lives, they regard it as a sacred object bestowed by the Creator.

Usually they are first captured by [Herb Hunters], and then preserved by [Famine Hunters] before being transported thousands of miles back to the Old Road.

The price of champagne fruit has been rising year by year. Fruit merchants only need to use three champagne fruits the size of eggs to exchange for a gold coin from the powerful.

You have to know that a farmer's annual income is less than 10 pounds, and it is crazy to spend more than one month's salary to buy three fruits.

But even though it has been hyped up like this, shampoo fruit is still in short supply.

In addition to having very demanding growing environments and low yields, the environment in which it lives is extremely dangerous.

Few people know that Shampoo Island, the origin of this magical fruit, has actually been secretly occupied by a black wizard organization called the "Bloodthirsty Cult".

Hidden beneath the halo of the shampoo fruit producing area is the location of the cult’s holy land, the “Blood Source Secret Realm”!

At a hidden pier on the island's side close to the Echidna Triangle Sea of ​​Monsters, the Golden Deer slowly approached the shore and dropped anchor.

The great wizard [Insect Swarm] was the first to get off the boat, followed closely by Byron.

His spirituality has grown from 12.5 to 13.6. Even among all three levels, he is considered a senior one and his vision is even sharper.

Behind him followed Violet, Jacqueline, and sixty Deathwing Marines led by [Honest Man] Eight Fingers and [Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred.

They gathered around Byron to prevent any further accidents.

Alfred, in particular, was originally a member of the bloodthirsty cult "Bloody Mary Faction" and had lived on this island for a long time.

Even though the corresponding Blood Grail ceremony has never been performed due to the taboo that [Gourmets] cannot eat their own kind, they are still very familiar with every plant and tree here.

If Byron hadn't come here in a legitimate way to advance through the secret realm, it would have been easy for him to lead the way and sneak in.

Stuart, a third-level great wizard [Mosquito Mage] whose robes could faintly make the sound of mosquitoes buzzing, had been waiting for them at the dock for a long time.

After the greetings, he smiled and nodded to Byron, and finally confirmed in a shrill voice:

"Buzz buzz buzz, Your Excellency the Governor, the High Priestess [Ms. Leech] has given orders that you and your people can enter the Blood Source Secret Realm to perform the ceremony.

However, before entering, a contract must be signed, and all forbidden knowledge obtained in the blood sublimation ceremony must be copied to the cult.

This is also the original intention of us like-minded people to unite and form a religious group. There should be no problem, right? Buzz buzz buzz"

When he looked at Byron, the deepest part of his pair of scarlet eyes revealed greed like the "Insect Swarm".

After seizing power, the beast trainers of the "Giant Insect Book Faction" acted more radically than the gourmets of the "Bloody Mary Faction".

Never hesitate to use some extreme methods to facilitate the extraction of knowledge from Lilith's body.

In order to obtain the next step, the [Scarlet Holy Grail], they would do anything at any cost.

And the price is anyone but them!

Byron nodded:
"The teacher has already told me about this matter, so there is no problem."

This kind of knowledge sharing was expected and even part of his plan.

No matter what kind of forbidden knowledge he could get from Lilith, he would cram all the genetics courses he had prepared in advance into it:
“Molecular Genetics, Developmental Biology, Neurobiology, Evolutionary Genetics, Gene Expression.”

“Isn’t the source of the Bloodthirsty Cult’s series of forbidden knowledge the [Mother of Creation Lilith] who is said to have created all kinds of creatures in the world?

The myriad living things in the world may not have been created by her, but given the status, knowledge, and power of the old gods, it is not impossible for her to have created them.

The most core part is naturally biogenetics.

When I come up with this custom theory, how should you respond?
This set of knowledge is sufficient to establish a school of thought and lay the theoretical foundation for biotechnology in the next few hundred years.

I say it is the true scripture, and who can refute me except Lilith herself? "

In his previous life, Byron became a doctor after suffering from a long-term illness. He had no money but wanted to save himself, so he had read quite a few medical books, which were similar to the medical textbooks that he was going to give to the Skinning Church.

In his opinion, the forbidden knowledge of the two schools has something in common, and he, the "Father of Medicine", can completely reconcile them.

It was natural to transform it into a church of your own.

Byron even had his own three-part name in mind.

With the [Golden Law] and the theoretical throne of the God-King Azik in hand, how could his plan of "backdoor listing" let go of the faith field of the colonies?
Body and soul, he wants it all!

Relying on the "buying" effect of the [first stock], it is not his turn to suffer any loss no matter who suffers.

As a good man who is "dedicated to the public and selfless", he threw away this epoch-making knowledge and invested in the technology of the two religious groups.

It probably won't be long before he can call himself the "Bloodthirsty Order" or the "Flayed Order" and the orthodox order is all in Stromgarde.

The Mosquito Mage was very satisfied with his attitude and praised him in his unique shrill voice:

"Very good, please follow me."

There was a lot of buzzing in the robe, and his feet slowly floated off the ground to lead the way in front.

Byron and his party immediately followed.

[Mage Mosquito] introduced the current situation of the cult to them while floating:
“Buzz buzz buzz, there are currently eight great wizards in the cult, each leading his own team of apprentices to conduct research on forbidden knowledge in different directions.

Normally, there are at least three people stationed at the holy place.

When we start the ritual 'Heart of the Swarm', most of us choose various blood-sucking insects, such as mosquitoes, ticks, leeches, tsetse flies, etc.

The High Priestess [Ms. Leech] is the strongest, and after you are promoted, she will probably meet you."

The cult had just experienced a civil strife last year. After they used the "Touch of the Kraken" to wipe out the Bloody Mary faction, the number of remaining third-level wizards could be counted on one hand.

There is no fourth-level person among them, but the high priestess [Ms. Leech] is a third-level animal tamer and third-level great wizard. She is the strongest and naturally sits on the position of leader.

And from the title, it sounds like her gender self-awareness is also very normal.

When he heard this, Byron glanced at the [Swarm] who wanted to compete for the position of high priest after their "divine power" was fully achieved.

But he discovered that tiny spores had already begun to spread on his body.

The animality of these dark wizards is greater than their divinity, and they are more easily dominated by the desires of their "self". They can't even wait a moment before poisoning the Holy Saint.

Byron ignored him.

Anyway, as long as he doesn't get hurt, when the final equity is greater than 50%, the ownership will immediately fall into his hands and will not be transferred by personal will.

"Oh, right. There are two ladies here who are indistinguishable from the beautiful and ugly. I am sorry for being so rude. Please try the champagne fruit on the island."

The [Mosquito Mage] who was leading the way in front did not notice the little movements of his old friend [Insect Swarm].

With a wave of his hand, a whirlwind swept up several shampoo fruits growing on the trees by the roadside and delivered them to Violet and Jacqueline.

Byron took a quick look at the [Logbook] and after confirming that there was no problem, he nodded to them.

The two girls then thanked the great wizard, took it and took a bite each.

Just like the legendary effects, the physical changes came quickly.

The two girls' already pleasant light body fragrance became even more fragrant, and each had its own unique scent, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Several butterflies flew in from nowhere and danced around the two of them.

As for Byron, he naturally couldn't help but smell the smell of grilled squid.

Smells good! It smells really good!
Because he was not married before the age of 18, he suffered a great loss from the [Social Clock], but he didn't let this guy learn a lesson. It was really a waste.

The little episode didn't waste too much time.

When the group was about to enter the entrance of the cave of the "Blood Source Secret Realm", Byron suddenly found a group of gray-robed apprentices walking out of the cave.

"Huh, what is that?"

He was just using the [Ship's Log] to read the history of each of them out of habit, so that he could call out each other's name the next time they met.

It was precisely with this ability that Byron was able to "remember" the intelligence of nearly 10,000 privateers, Lancaster remnants, colonial officials, and naval soldiers under his command.

Including: name, birthday, children, family relationships, time of joining the team, outstanding deeds, etc.

If you casually point this out when chatting in friendly occasions, even the most heartless subordinate will immediately have red eyes and their blood boil.

Subconsciously, I feel that I am the special one in the eyes of the captain/governor/general.

Even loyalty has skyrocketed.

It is more effective than money to win people's hearts and it works every time.

"Rose, 20 years old, first-level beast tamer in the wilderness sequence, forbidden knowledge: Book of Giant Insects"

"Ryder, 19 years old, first-level beast tamer in the wilderness sequence, forbidden knowledge: Book of Giant Insects"

"What's this last one?"

Just when he saw the last apprentice in this team, he suddenly exclaimed in his heart.

Although the last young man was wearing the same wizard grey robe as the others, the information he read out was completely different from the others:
"Martin Griffiths, 17 years old, from the Apostolic Cathedral of St. Peter's, first-level Temple Sequence [Twilight Deacon]."

The huge gap in rank between the two parties allowed Byron to see everything about him clearly.

It turned out that this young man was not a common animal tamer of the "Giant Insect Book Sect", nor was he a common gourmet of the "Bloody Mary Sect", but a clergyman of the church!
"Could it be?"

Byron suddenly perked up, realizing that this young man might be the contact sent by one or more important figures in the church.

The information that continued to emerge later made it almost impossible for him to control his facial expression.

“Knowledge: The forbidden book “The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven”.

It comes from the daily meditation and prayers of some of the people closest to God, and is pieced together from scattered fragments over a long period of time.

The words are full of positive energy. Everyone who has read this book claims to have received revelation and been able to have a detailed conversation with an angel in heaven.

However, the names of the angels in their descriptions are never repeated.

The core ritual [Angel Advent] can draw the power of angels into your body and slowly change your body.

It can better adapt to the divine power and greatly increase the promotion speed of a series of professions in the Temple Sequence.

Even after three rituals, one can gradually transform into some kind of celestial creature living in heaven."

hiss--!
Byron's brain froze when he saw the description of this forbidden knowledge.

"Church? Black magic? Blasphemy!"

"The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven" is definitely a taboo among all taboo books. Is this actually forbidden knowledge from the Creator?

You set up the Inquisition, launched one witch hunt after another, and hunted dark wizards everywhere all day long. In the end, the one who played dark wizard with us was me, right?

What’s the difference between this and the Bald Eagle DEA itself trafficking in drugs?
You guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually betrayed your faith? !

When I saw the last hint on the Twilight Butler: "'Eternal Life Project' Experiment No. 16".

[Secret: The Shadow Behind the Red and White Rose War, Influence 31] The decoding density also jumped from 82% to 89%!

It seems that only one last line is missing to connect all the current clues.

"But even the clergy have begun to study witchcraft and immortality. This is really crazy!"

Byron, who was feeling dizzy, couldn't help but feel curious about the state of the "Creator".

All extraordinary people know that except through the church, the only god of the seventh level [the bound creator] has never directly revealed any miracles in the world.

Since those "old gods" have lost most of their divinity and turned into a corrupt corpse soaked in the sea of ​​​​source.

It is used as a knowledge extraction machine by many dark wizards to merge the castrated Ladder of Glory and Forbidden Knowledge in order to combine the two into one, touch the realm of God, and achieve eternal life.

What about the Creator?

Is he still in the world, or is he excluded from the world like those old gods?

Why is it that apart from the Pope, the spokesman for the Creator, no devout believer has ever heard His voice in prayer?

Does the Pope know that some people are studying black magic, and what is his attitude towards it?

Why is it that even though there are big men at least at the level of the College of Cardinals who have begun to steal God's authority, no divine punishment has come to kill them?
Why.
Not only were Byron's doubts not resolved, but they increased and became more confusing.

So, when the [Mosquito Mage] said that they could start, he immediately led his men and rushed into the "Blood Source Secret Realm" impatiently.

He believed that he could find the answers to some of the questions here!
