Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 353 Death Knight, Freak Crew
"Hurry, hurry, load all the sea biscuits onto the boat.

What? Do you want one with weevils?
Yes, of course. No matter if they have weevils or black-headed maggots, we want them all. They won’t kill people anyway.

Time is money. If you are still choosy now, you may not even have tree bark to eat by the afternoon. Time and money wait for no one. "

"Count all the spare sails, cables, tar, and gunpowder barrels again. If anything goes wrong, I'll use a cat-o'-nine-tails dipped in salt water to give you a good spanking."

“Don’t forget to clean my cannon, I will definitely use it when I go to the Celestial Circulation this time.

By the way, I am still short of a few powder monkeys, with a fixed salary of one pound a month.

If you want to come now, the boat will leave at 3 pm. No one will wait for you after you arrive.

The opportunity to make a fortune with old Captain Barry is rare, if you miss it, you will lose it for life."

"."

The captains' roars echoed in all the ports, big and small, throughout the Bantaan Islands.

The merchant ships, whaling ships, adventure ships, privateers, pirate ships, and warships of the colonies of various countries are all in a state of excitement, rubbing their hands in preparation for a big fight.

Upon hearing about the New World and the opportunity to make a fortune, sailors and even ordinary residents in various ports rushed to board the sailboats, fearing that they would be left behind by this gust of wind.

Among them are children who are only twelve or thirteen years old.

They cannot do heavy work and are usually responsible for carrying gunpowder from the bottom of the hold during wartime. Therefore, they are also called "gunpowder monkeys" and are considered the lowest-level crew members on the ship.

Many sailors, especially those on warships with the worst living conditions, grew up step by step from gunpowder monkeys in this way.

No one would think there was anything wrong with recruiting a group of children to board a ship.

Because this is the Age of Discovery, where the entire world is undergoing rapid changes!
Everyone has a strong desire for power and wealth. Everyone is absorbing all resources, knowledge, and skills that are useful to them, and quickly adapting to this rapidly changing strange world.

As long as you find the right wind, even a pig can fly.

A penniless boy may be just an ordinary sailor today, but he may become an extraordinary person, a captain, a general, or even a colonial governor tomorrow.

This is the first time in more than a thousand years of the Silver Age that a wide enough crack has appeared in the continent's already completely solidified classes. Anyone who misses it will regret it for the rest of his life.

While others were still busy recruiting sailors and supplies, racking their brains to collect nautical charts, and even calling on friends to join forces.

The holy relic battleship [Golden Deer], which had been prepared in advance, has set sail.

“Anchor pulled up, Sapphire Sea, wind northeast, force five, port side tack.

The rigging is long and the sail is full."

The white supporting ropes on the ship were quickly tightened and relaxed, and the white sails blessed by the collective subconscious of mankind were all opened and inflated by the perfect sea breeze.

Send them all the way south.

The golden hull of the "World's Fastest Ship" glowed slightly, like a bright and rising sun, and disappeared at the boundary between the sky and the sea in an instant.

Byron, the [Storm Admiral], was personally at the helm, and his [Riding] ability, which reached the mid-sequence level, allowed him to control the sailboat with greater ease.

Easily push the performance of this relic battleship to its limit.

In this state where the sky, sea, ship and sail were breathing together, Byron felt that he was only a thin layer of window paper away from the next realm [Divine Vision].

You may be able to see even more magnificent swordplay scenery at any time.

This time we went out to sea to conquer the celestial circulation belt, three months had passed since the last time we went to Treasure Island to complete the promotion ceremony of the "Pirate Treasure Chest".

Byron felt particularly refreshed to be back on the sea.

Especially when taking a quick glance at the core team members on the deck, no matter how modest one is, a strong sense of self-confidence can't help but arise.

"The core members of the Pirate King Group are only at level three or four. I am one step closer to that goal."

After inventing the "rifled bullet", Violet's spirituality reached the critical point of the third level, and she was only one seal away from the deep-sea tracing ritual.

One of the most important tasks of this voyage is to find the best choice for her, the [Atlas] engraved with the sixth seal that can support the celestial sphere.

My cousin [Chameleon] Jacqueline has reached the third level with the forbidden knowledge [Shadow Robe], and her main profession, singer, is not far from being promoted.

The most crucial ritual is to write a good song that is popular and has a certain degree of popularity.

Byron, whose head is full of knowledge, has given her a very good suggestion.

Well, it certainly won’t be. “Impulse, impulse, impulse.”

the other side.

sizzle
[Blood Red Whiskey] Alfred and [Iron Wall] Bruch, who finally accepted the bloodline of the red dragon lizard, were acting as a chef and a stove respectively, preparing lunch for everyone.

Both of them, who were at the third level, had awakened their flow and easily tamed the power that had just surged in their bodies.

Especially Bruch, at this moment, fire was coming out of his hands, his face was flushed, his waist and legs no longer hurt.

It seemed that he had finally gotten rid of the shadow of "Yishishihashiha" and gained back a piece of the pie from his newlywed wife.

Although there is a side effect of "greed for fame", in the future you will value the reputation of the knight you protect more than your life, it is completely worth it.

Among the others, [Shipbuilder] Little Hans went to Dock No. 1 to oversee the construction of the first heavy-duty cruiser after Violet, the chief engineer, set the tone and laid the keel.

With our extraordinary capabilities, we will strive to launch the first heavy cruiser around the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

[Honest Man] Eight Fingers and [Phantom Blade] Guts have also reached the checkpoint, and they only need to reach a ritual target of sufficient weight to be promoted at any time.

Even the octopus-man Xiao Ba, who aspires to become a swordsman of the Eight Swords Style, learned the "Heart Flow" from Byron and his swordsmanship level greatly improved.

It took Byron and his team three months to finally digest all the gains from Treasure Island, and the team of direct members was strong and powerful.

This is while leaving enough defensive power at home.

There is my sister, a pseudo fourth-level mithril dragon, as well as [Indestructible Fortress] Sam Leopold, [Eye-catching] Bertania, and [Fairy] Rigrael in charge of the colony.

Before we knew it, the number of third-level members in the core team had quietly reached double digits.

In addition, there were foreign aid indigenous "peaceful troops" led by [Conqueror] Cortes and the two major Taya city-states.

The church also has Sister Theresa and the fourth Wild Hunt servant [Doppler Heavy Swordsman] Quasi-Swordsman Hermann Schwartz.

The Bloodthirsty Cult and the Skin-Flayer Church, which had laid the nails, had not yet had time to close the net.

But as they continue to digest and absorb knowledge, as long as Byron's shareholding ratio exceeds 50%, even if he does not stay here, he can still usurp the ownership of the two major organizations at the same time.

It won’t delay your fishing trip to the New World.

"Raise your hands."

"Lift your left foot."

"Lift your right foot."

Pfft!
In the corner of the open deck, a giant blue wolf with four legs in the air fell to the deck in a somewhat embarrassed manner. The pile of bones opposite should have been a good material for canines to grind their teeth, but at this time [Blue Hair] did not dare to get angry at this lifeless skeleton.

She could only whimper pitifully and turned to look at Byron for help.

However, the Skeleton Knight Andrew rubbed it back again like rubbing a big dog.

The sharp claws plowed several deep claw marks on the smooth teak deck, and then automatically restored it to its original state under the extraordinary effect of the holy relic.

"Don't run away. I just want to study whether the [Death Knight]'s Fire of Repentance can use you as a mount. It won't kill anyone."

Byron, the uncle who was originally just a tattered skeleton and relied on a cursed gold coin of Azik to survive, has now changed a lot.

His entire body was covered in a thick layer of dark white bone armor, with orange-red soul flames flickering in his hollow eye sockets. If he took off his mask, no one would be able to tell that he was a skeleton.

The forbidden knowledge "Book of the Dead" that Edward obtained from the edge of the world was of no use to others, but Andrew relied on it to successfully embark on the path of a "Dead Knight".

Relying on his rich experience as a skeleton on Treasure Island for more than a hundred years, he completed the third-level blood sublimation ceremony in one go.

Finally freed from the restrictions of the cursed gold coins, he was able to grow in strength again and experience the joys of the world again.

The most core black magic in his hand, [Fire of Repentance], can enchant various weapons, and even vehicles and mounts, temporarily and significantly improving their original performance.

How can a knight not have a good mount?
Andrew finally found a creature that could be called a "mount" on the ship, so he naturally wanted to study whether it was possible to transform it into a "wolf rider".

"Come on, follow me into the house.

Resisting being a mount means you have a rebellious mind, and your surrender is just an act. I must teach you a lesson today."

“Ah~, no—!”

[Blue Hair] wailed repeatedly, but ultimately could not escape Andrew's clutches.

The tamer awakens the [Seal of Domination] at the third level, and the [Heart of the Beast King] at the fourth level, which is a perfect match for the werewolf's bloodline.

The initial transformation was only equivalent to the first blood sublimation ceremony, reaching the level when Byron had just mastered the [Blood Holy Grail].

If you want to continue to advance, you must study the forbidden book "Blood Source Pilgrimage", otherwise the only outcome is to degenerate into a monstrosity dominated by bestiality.

Barbarossa Helding had no choice but to surrender and "study" with Byron's team.

He has been taming animals all his life, so it's no harm to be trained once in a while.

Byron generously used [Control Lower Servants] to order the giant wolf to cooperate with his uncle in everything.

Anyway, it's obvious that this guy only responds to hard tactics and not soft ones.

He believed that after being trained by his uncle, the master of torture, Blue-haired Hailding would be completely transformed from the inside out and would completely and wholeheartedly convert to his service.

He also selectively ignored the small gadgets such as whips, pepper spray, hemp ropes, handcuffs, tiger benches, candles, etc. that Andrew took out from the storage of strange objects as he walked.

The only thing I'm a little worried about is that the side effects of the Book of the Dead might have inspired some quirks in this uncle, and he seems to get satisfaction from some strange things.

I silently shed two crocodile tears for [Blue Hair].

Unable to bear looking at them any longer, he turned his head to look at a bright girl with long platinum hair, holding a rare whale oil lantern not far in front of him.

This is the ship's new [navigator] Delia.

Today she changed out of her gray robe that never changed for years and put on a normal plain dress, revealing only a section of her slender calves.

But because she happened to be wearing a pair of black stockings, Miss Chameleon suddenly changed her color on the spot.

Jacqueline's [Transvestite], with layer upon layer of debuffs added up, has turned into her liking to wear black stockings, and also liking to see the women she likes wearing black stockings.

There were pink mists in his eyes, and he had been being attentive to Delia ever since he got on board.

"Delia, smell my perfume.

The top notes are bergamot and rosewood, the middle notes are jasmine and May rose, and the base notes are iris and impatiens. Does it smell nice?

Its name is Guerlain One Thousand and One Nights.

Our Iris Kingdom has always produced the best perfumes, and I brought many varieties with me.

Come to my room tonight to taste it together? There is always one suitable for you.

I have a lot of black silk in my closet. It’s not silk, but spider silk. It will look great on you.”

How could a simple girl like Delia withstand such a bombardment from the "Sea King"?

I let down my guard unconsciously and agreed in a daze.

“Oh, yes, sure.

When I was studying, I had tutors come to my home to teach me. There were not many girls of my age in the Lighthouse Union.

It's a rare opportunity that we are the same age. I am very glad to meet you, Miss Jacqueline."

Byron heard their conversation and thought to himself:

'You only say that perfume is good, but you never mention that in the dark millennium before, the nobles of the Iris Kingdom were notoriously reluctant to take baths.

Perfume workshops receive large amounts of funding, and eventually they become the only ones that dominate the perfume industry.'

Moreover, I am somewhat troubled by the current situation. I had not thought about this problem when I invited Delia.

'Jacqueline offended two of the most powerful families in the Holy Silver Empire that had cardinals because of her two-timing.

They said that each family should split it in half.

Delia's father is the vice president of the Lighthouse Federation. Whether he inherited the corresponding status or has his own strength, he is also a fifth-level person.

You are simply trying to divide the world into three parts and ascend to heaven on the spot.

Day by day, I don't know who I learned this from, but our elders don't have this tradition of universal love.'

Byron glanced at his crew members, including the newcomer Delia, and found that none of them were completely normal.

He shook his head and didn't waste any more time.

He drove a [Fiddler Crab] he brought with him to make a deep-sea jump, and with just one step it jumped ahead of everyone else to the edge of an island adjacent to the northern end of the "Celestial Circulation Belt".

This island is not a deserted island, and a signboard with the words "No. 1 Station of West Wind Express Celestial Circulation Belt" was hung there early on.

In addition to the company's managers and clerks, a wealthy gentleman had received the news in advance and had also been waiting here in person.

He was wearing a beautifully tailored black suit, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, and golden seal rings on all ten of his fingers for using the third-level ability [Investment Contract].

It was the Rimet Level 219 [Banker] Steele Black (Chapter ) who had “laid the wheels flat” when massacring the natives and even shocked Theresa.

He is also a venture capitalist of Westwind Express!
