Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 392: King of Puppet, Title Promotion (4600 votes requested)

In the blink of an eye, it was the night of the next day, July 7nd.

The war is over, and even the tragic battlefield has been cleaned up.

The colonial fleet with a complex composition divided the six islands according to their respective merits. As expected, the Pirate King Ocean Throne occupied Island No. 2, and the Sailboat Collector occupied Island No. 3.

Although their initial agreement was that the latter would only take the legendary battleship, and all other spoils would belong to the Pirate King.

But since they missed out on the leading ship of the Bay People, they naturally had to regain their profits from other places.

The others were each allocated the remaining land, which was endorsed by the terms of the "Wilderness Development Order" in the "Silver Law" and no one could violate it.

A group of extraordinary people worked intensively on their own territory during the day to build a stable shelter, and they would stop work as soon as the blood moon appeared at night.

Don't wander around outside if you have nothing to do.

As the most elite group of adventurers in the Silver Continent, even the mortal sailors among them can strictly abide by the taboos and avoid disasters to the greatest extent possible.

According to the principle of "the last one standing is the winner", sailors with a sloppy style would have long been eliminated by all kinds of evil spirits and weirdness, and would never be able to come here.

From another perspective, unless absolute safety can be guaranteed at night, it will be difficult for the colonies established on the southern continent in the future to give birth to a lively night economy in a short period of time.

Among the six islands where every inch of land is valuable, Island No. 3, owned by [sailboat collector] Morton Gray, is the only exception.

More than a day passed, and he seemed to have no intention of building an island at all.

After casually walking around and drawing a map of Island No. 3, he returned to his battleship and never came out again.

At this time, Morton Gray was in the captain's room of the Phantom in a Bottle, wiping the collection in the display cabinet with a velvet handkerchief.

I just don't know what he was thinking. He seemed a little careless. He picked up a wine bottle with a sailboat in it and wiped it again and again, but he didn't wipe the next one for a long time.

Under the light, the total number of collections in the captain's room is still as high as hundreds, most of which are cruisers below level 4, and there are not many battleships of level 4 and above.

There were gaps on many of the display racks with the earliest numbers, with at least dozens of ships missing, and dozens of others were battered and tattered, with traces of burnt battle damage.

Some of them were damaged by the ship coffins summoned by the legendary battleships, while the other part was blown up by the ghost fleet and "Katyusha".

This is because Morton Gray's fifth-level exclusive magic [Virtual Ship Spirit] can only split into a maximum of one hundred virtual ship spirits to control one hundred warships.

If more warships could be controlled, the losses would probably be even more severe.

But now he has a "new love" in his heart, and he doesn't care much about his own "collection fleet" being destroyed.

"Now I just need to wait for an opportunity so that I can take these two beauties away and fly away, and by the way, complete the ship spirit transformation that I have always dreamed of, cough cough cough."

Suddenly he covered his mouth and coughed forcefully a few times, then opened his palms, which were covered with blood.

Yesterday, he was hit successively by the [Father of Sharks] and the backlash of the virtual ship spirit being blown up on a large scale. His spirituality is still somewhat unstable, and his body was also seriously injured.

But he didn't take it seriously at all.

Even in his injured state, the only person he couldn't beat was Ocean Throne, which did not hinder today's actions at all.

At this time, the sound of "ding" in the communication finally brought the [Sailboat Collector] back to his senses.

Looking up, a crystal ball on the desk lit up, projecting a majestic figure.

The figure had a very square and majestic face, with a slightly curled beard that was meticulously groomed. It was impossible to tell his exact age, and there seemed to be a slight wood texture on his cheeks.

Pinned on his jewel-encrusted noble dress was a very conspicuous golden castle emblem, which was the emblem of the Trastamara family of Castile.

Even when he met with the fifth-level legendary extraordinary being [Sailboat Collector], there were several stunning beauties in extremely cool clothing sitting around him, for him to hug and touch. It was obvious that he did not have much respect for this legend.

"Good day, Your Highness."

Morton Gray didn't care and even bowed first.

This is because the person in front of him is Louis Trastamara, the "Puppet King" and the younger brother of King Henry IV of Castile, the "Incompetent".

Not only does he have a respected status, he is also a genuine Hall of Fame fifth-order legendary [Puppeteer].

He never concealed his life creed:
"Sitting high on the throne, enjoying power, wantonly controlling the fate of the weak through the thread in his hand, and not allowing anyone to disobey him!"

Anyone who is not as good as the [Puppet King] Louis will not be looked at by him.

With the support of the world's number one maritime power, even if he wrote "Everyone here is garbage" on his face, few people in the world would dare to look at him in the face.

The fact that he was able to personally "meet" the [Sailboat Collector], the former national alchemist and ship engineer of Castile, was already a favor to him because he was also at the fifth level.

Seeing Morton appearing before him, [Puppet King] Louis said directly:
“I was previously misled by the false information provided by Barbarossa and was temporarily trapped in a secret place in the Broken Islands. It will take a few days to escape.

But I can accept your request for surrender now on behalf of His Majesty the King.

Mr. Morton, not only can I guarantee your personal safety, but I can also give you the position of President of the Royal Academy of Engineering and provide you with a series of rare and extraordinary materials for the ship transformation ceremony.

The price is the ownership of Island No. 3 in your hands, as well as the complete version of [Theseus Ship Spirit Ritual] that can create a legendary ship spirit.

Once the deal is done, I can keep you safe even if you kill the cardinal of the church!"

The tone is arrogant and domineering.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness."

However, Morton Gray knew that the other party did have the capital to be arrogant, and when he heard the Puppet King's personal assurance, he suddenly felt certain.

Although the person he wanted to kill tonight was not a cardinal, his reputation as a person who caused "miracles" would soon make his influence surpass that of an ordinary archbishop.

Once the news spreads, the trouble will definitely be no less serious than if a big shot of this level were assassinated.

The call was immediately hung up by the other party.

"My purpose is not to kill people, I just want to be with my beloved beauties forever.

Now the retreat has been prepared in advance. I hope that the 'ex-husbands' of you beauties will not hinder me, otherwise I will have no choice but to kill you and hide back in the kingdom.

Tomorrow is the last window of opportunity. By the time Barbarossa and his men discover something unusual, it will be too late to chase me."

As for the "lantern bearers" who are indispensable to this sea area and the huge profits brought by the whale oil industry, in the eyes of this "sailing maniac", they are not as valuable as a piece of plank of a legendary battleship.

He exchanged it with his old employer without hesitation.

Before reaching level 5, he had always been a wanted criminal ranked high on the wanted list, but after reaching level 5, as long as he was willing to join a certain kingdom, he would immediately become a guest of honor of the royal family.

In the international system, if one is not at the table, there is a good chance that one is on the menu.

Being promoted to the fifth-level legend is equivalent to completing a gorgeous transformation from menu to dining table.

"It's time to take action."

Sa——!
He grasped the bronze steering wheel-shaped inherited artifact in front of his chest, turned his body, and instantly shrank hundreds of times and disappeared in the captain's room.

Under the night sky, the Whale Song Town built by the Rift Monastery on Island No. 1 is actually not much different from Island No. 3.

Except for the living people on the [Golden Deer], most of the ghost battleships that came out with the [Blue Dragon King] did not have mid-sequence captains, and none of them had regained consciousness.

After escaping from the stomach of the old gods where they had to kill each other, most of them were suppressed and gathered by Prince Sorenburg through his status.

He also sent his own guards officers or other Lancasters to serve as captains, and soon integrated a total of 63 ships, a powerful ghost fleet that truly belonged to him. However, there was no living person in this fleet, and they were cursed by the fifth-level [False God] and could only go ashore once a year, so they would not waste the opportunity in such a place.

In the end, only more than 140 crew members and officers of the Golden Deer went ashore and settled in the town.

Byron stood in front of the tall French window of his temporary residence in his bathrobe, looking at the ghost fleet with green flames on the sea, as if he had seen the vast territory that his father had conquered for him.

Even without taking into account the undead attribute of the ghost ship, simply comparing the quality of the shells fired by a fleet salvo, it is no less than the direct pirate fleet of [Ocean Throne].

Looking past the ghost fleet at the twinkling lights on the other islands, I couldn't help but sigh:
“True freedom is not being able to do whatever you want, but being able to not do what you don’t want.

The gun in your hand gives you the confidence to speak loudly to anyone.

If there hadn't been the Blue Dragon King and the Ghost Fleet as our backing yesterday.

I'm afraid that in the end I won't be the only one occupying Island No. 1. Others will have to make sacrifices to appease me and sincerely thank me together."

Byron knew very well that there were only two kinds of people on this sea, pirates and potential pirates. How could there be so many "normal people" who were grateful?
In front of a group of hungry wolves, if a weak person voluntarily gives up his interests, not only will he not be grateful, but they will think that what you have given is too little, and they will take away all the rest.

Weakness and kindness are sins!

Fortunately, the Lord of War can teach the deep-sea clans to sing and dance, and naturally he can also teach pirates and adventurers to be friendly and humble.

The sacrifice of the lower class is justified, while the sacrifice of the higher class is the glory of humanity.

If he only had "kindness", he would probably be eaten alive by a pack of wolves.

Only by holding the [Halo of a Great Good Man] in one hand and the Ghost Fleet in the other can one obtain rich benefits and gain outstanding fame through a performance.

Everyone gave him a thumbs up.

It also made the Ocean Throne completely let down its guard against him, a "dying man" who could only live for a few years at most.

It can be said that it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.

After all, in this world's power system, fame and legend are part of strength, and they account for a very large proportion.

Who doesn't love the wonderful thing of being both a responsible person and a successful person, having both benefits and a good reputation?
Moreover, the benefits he gained from that performance were immediate.

Byron silently watched his own legendary degree gradually break through the critical point. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face. He glanced at the description in the [Ship Log] and called out softly:
"Fujin! Muni!"

Two large ravens, as black as ink but with golden eyes, flew out from his shadow and landed on his shoulders like two ferocious falcons.

She pecked his earlobe affectionately, then flapped her wings, and like a phantom, she pierced through the tall roofs and soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye she was a hundred miles away.

Through their sharp eyes, Byron was able to see a large group of Leviathan whales swimming underwater.

Even the pores on their skin are clearly visible, and looking at them is like observing the lines in the palm of your hand.

Then the two ravens fell into the water again, without stirring up any splashes, as if they did not exist at all. Even when they were only a few meters away from the whale, these huge creatures did not notice anything unusual.

“Although the two ravens themselves have no combat power, their ability to be immune to all mid-sequence detections alone is enough to compete for the title of the strongest scout.

It is worthy of being the pet of the mythical god.

When I reach the fifth level, I will be able to rely on them to know all the major events in the world."

The Centaur Archipelago's communication channels with the outside world were not interrupted. After more than a day of fermentation, the titles of Saint Byron and [Sea Hunter] finally broke through the 25-point mark again.

A new title ability [Animal Companion] was added to [Sea Hunter]. Byron prefers to jokingly call it "Walking the Bird and Playing with the Dog" or "Leading Huang Qingcang".

Because the animal companions happen to be two ravens and two wolves.

In the mythology of the Wan people, Fukin and Muni are two ravens under the command of Woden, the god of the Wild Hunt.

The name Fujin means "thought" (Runic characters: Thought), and Muni means "memory" (Runic characters: Memory).

They are not only Woden's sacred birds, but also his eyes and ears.

Every day at dawn, two ravens would fly away from Woden's shoulders to the human world, see everything in the world, hear all things in the world, talk with living and dead things, and then come back to tell Woden.

In addition to these two sacred birds, Woden is often accompanied by two large wolves, Geri (Runic characters: Geri) and Freki (Runic characters: Freki).

The former represents "greed" and the latter represents "gluttony". Woden will give all the meat offered by his believers to these two wolves to eat, and these two big wolves will be responsible for guarding.

"Kili, Forage!"

As Byron called again, two giant wolves as tall as humans, black and white, with deep blue eyes appeared behind him.

She rolled over on the ground obediently, letting him scratch her belly, humming docilely like a hound.

The two ravens and two giant wolves serve as Byron's eyes, ears and limbs, and can not only detect the enemy situation and transmit messages 24 hours a day.

You can also become his incarnation like those [Wild Hunt Servants] and project your own power over to him.

It can be considered an alternative method of creating a clone.

As he conquered more and more territory, he no longer had to worry about no one to guard the gate.

"Kili, you go and inspect Whale Song Town, and Forage, you go and keep an eye on those guys who just arrived at the port and went into the dungeon to start working. Tell them to keep their noise down while they work.

I, Saint Byron, am kind-hearted and cannot bear to hear the screams of the 'volunteers', so I always remember to cut off Red Beard's tongue before every dissection.

There is no need for anesthetics, and they are a bit expensive before mass production.”

Byron waved his hand and let them go about their business.

“Now that my titles are constantly rising, I am becoming more and more like Woden, the God of Kingship, Prophecy, and the Wild Hunt.

The title of [Wild Hunt] corresponds to the improvement of the Wild Hunt Legion and my own abilities.

This vest has disappeared for a long time and has not caused any big news. So far, its legendary level has remained at 27, 30 points away from the 3-point mark.

I'm afraid it will soon be surpassed by the legendary status of [Sea Hunter].

The title of [Sea Hunter] corresponds to the weapons and pets of the God of the Wild Hunt, the sure-hit spear Gungnir, two crows, and two hounds. I wonder what treasures I will get when I upgrade next time?
It was as if he was going to hollow out the main god bit by bit.

Coupled with the [Divine Mask] that has fallen into my hands, my compatibility with this God King is now ridiculously high."

For the time being, Byron couldn't figure out the connection between this series of coincidences, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Realizing that the night was getting darker, she was about to turn off the lights and rest when she heard a faint sound of breaking air coming from Violet's room next door, where the light was still on.

With the help of the synesthesia ability of [Divine Vision], he could immediately "see" the scene in the room through hearing.

The table was covered with paper materials on whale oil technology and a bunch of experimental equipment.

The most important thing is that a glass test tube filled with liquid suddenly fell from the table.

"This is."

hiss--!
Byron had only taken half a breath when his body began to move on its own as a stress response.

With a gust of wind at a speed that was unmatched in the middle sequence, he rushed out of his own window and suddenly dived into Violet’s room.
