Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 41: First Entry: History Revisionist

"Where is my horse?"

Even when he followed Gus into the largest slave guild in the port, Byron was still troubled by the group of misfits under his command.

The misfortunes of indentured servants vary, and of course the lives of pirates also have their own joys and sorrows.

There are usually three motivations that make a person decide to become a pirate.

One is the extreme poverty that makes it impossible to survive and the darkness of the future; the other is the desire for wealth, power, and breaking through the class.

The last type is those criminals on the mainland who are really desperate!
It is because every extraordinary profession has its own motto and professional standards.

The [Lawmaster], [Punishment Knight], [Warden] of the Inquisition, and even the [Judge Knight] of the Church will not miss any opportunity to be promoted.

We will definitely track down those criminals and hunt them down to the ends of the earth.

Since ancient times, the vast ocean has been the safest refuge for criminals.

Under normal circumstances, the second and third motives often combine to become the main force among pirate groups.

It is almost impossible to find the kind of "good family kids" that the army prefers when selecting soldiers.

There is no organization and no discipline.

They may be strong and dare to fight and kill, but even if their resources and knowledge are unlimited, they can hardly become the strong army with iron will that Byron remembered.

Byron didn't want to accept all kinds of people on board.

“As the seeds for future pirate groups, the quality of the original personnel is particularly important.

Maybe I should just find a group of blank slates and train them from scratch for a year or two?"

If Byron were to be given a definition for his own behavior pattern, he would think "lawful evil" might be more appropriate.

Willing to be a self-interested person according to certain rules, and when one's own interests conflict with others, one will choose to sacrifice others without hesitation.

But they will also maintain order and stability and strive to formulate rules and laws that are in their own interests.

Regardless of their abilities, the crew members who will board the Golden Hind in the future must at least not be "chaotic evil" who only cause trouble.

"What are you looking at? Eight Fingers? Gus?"

Byron looked up and suddenly realized that Eight Fingers and Gus, who had been following him, had stopped without noticing.

Following their gaze, I discovered that this slave guild, which had many trading companies settled in, was selling more than just slaves.

Entering the main entrance of the Slave Guild, one actually discovers a bustling commercial street.

On both sides of the wide road, there are densely packed shops in minimalist northern style.

Everywhere you look, there are contraband items defined by the church and the kingdom.

Hallucinogenic drugs, strong poisons, powerful military weapons, small hidden arrows for assassination, and a variety of explosives.
There are even many extraordinary potions that are obviously made with forbidden knowledge.

There is no need to use "Echoes of History", it is all clearly written on their labels.

[Wandering Witch's Height-Increasing Potion:

It can make adults continue to grow taller. One bottle of magic potion can increase the height by 5 centimeters, but it cannot increase weight at the same time. Please distribute your own mass carefully. 】

[The Wandering Witch's Slimming Potion:

Only effective for women, a bottle of magic potion can make you lose ten pounds in three days, but the slimming part is random. 】

[Wandering Witch's Iron Cannon Potion:

Only effective for men, the red pill can make a certain part of the body very energetic all day long.

Also random! Maybe you can get an indestructible tongue or finger? 】

【.】

There are many similar potions, and their main feature is that their effects are powerful and unpredictable.

For a moment, Byron couldn't tell whether this was the effect of the potion or a side effect of the punishment mechanism.

Rather than calling them potions, it would be better to say that they are a complete display of the side effects of forbidden knowledge.

Byron wondered how brave a person had to be to drink such a thing.
However, when he continued to read, he found that what attracted Eight Fingers and Gus was not these things, but a list posted on the wall.

"Charles Rich List (This time: Iris Kingdom, Luwana County)

23800th: Doyle Harvey, spice merchant, director of Thyme Trading Company, with a net worth of £;
25100th: Clemens Walter, Lord, a lucky noble heir, with a fortune of £;
Eighth place: Bart Clark, ship owner, owns two ocean-going merchant ships, with a net worth of £29300;
7th place: Thomas Wayne."

The honest man looked at the dizzying numbers on it with his eight fingers, wiped the saliva that was about to flow to the corners of his mouth, and muttered to himself: "It turns out that there are so many rich people in just one county. They must work very hard, right?"

Although it is not the first time that money-loving Gus has seen the rich list, he still feels a little uncomfortable every time he sees it.

That face full of poverty was filled with deep envy:
“This list changes every week with a new region and a new group of wealthy people.

But no matter how remote the place is, as long as they are on the list, I can't afford to marry them.

I don’t know when I can be on the list.”

Byron shook his head helplessly, waved his hand in front of them, and poured a basin of cold water on them:
"Hey, come back to your senses!

Don't even look at where this place is.

Now that the so-called rich list is posted in Anchor Bay, it is no longer a rich list, but a real pig-killing list!
Praise them for their hard work? Should I take their place? Hey, you two are unqualified to be pirates. You are a disgrace to this profession."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and called a fierce pirate passing by, pointed at the list and asked him:
"Dude, what's your first thought when you see this rich list?"

"Nonsense, of course. They robbed these fat sheep!"

The man looked at Byron pitifully, as if he were a fool, shook his head and turned away.

Byron then turned around and spread his hands to the two stunned young men.

“You see, this is the normal reaction of a pirate.

In fact, dignitaries and extraordinary people from all countries know about this very famous [First-Class Holy Relic Charles Rich List] on the East Coast, also known as the [Legendary Fat Sheep List].

It once belonged to the North Sea Pirate King [Whale Hunter], and is now managed by the Captains' Council of Anchor Bay.

Every week, the names of some of the richest people in a region will be randomly selected and displayed. The higher the sequence level, the smaller the possibility of being on the list.

It has always served as a business guide for pirates.

Every time the original version is updated, the Captains' Council of Iron Anchor Bay will copy it and post it throughout Iron Anchor Bay to facilitate their selection of looting targets. "

“This item is undoubtedly a [holy relic] for the pirates of Iron Anchor Bay, and it can help them make a fortune.

But for the wealthy people on the list, it is undoubtedly a [cursed object].

Even if there is no curse of extraordinary powers, the mere fact that every detail of one's property is exposed to countless hungry wolves is terrifying enough.

About one-fifth of them disappeared from the world completely within a year after making the list.

And I heard that 45% of the richest people in the world are from the Remit."

Eight Fingers and Gus couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and finally had a more intuitive understanding of the dangers of the extraordinary world.

There are some things in this world that are far more secretive than guns and swords, and more difficult to guard against.

No matter whether it was Gus, who had some knowledge, or Eight Fingers, the country bumpkin, they no longer dared to point fingers at the things here and followed Byron closely.

But after Byron gave them some knowledge about the [Holy Relics], they began to look forward to when they could get a powerful [Holy Relic] of their own.

Byron looked at the first entry [Historical Editor] that he had successfully activated after taking office as [Storm Knight].

And its effects:

“One, the anchor in you is more secure.

The person with whom you have an anchored connection will also be more easily drawn into a vortex of history with you, approaching all kinds of unknowns and secrets.

Of course, if the [anchors] are strong enough and there are enough of them, they might be able to pull you right out of the vortex!
30. As compensation, when participating in secret events with a historical influence of more than .

You can summon a one-time [holy relic] related to a region or nation from history at any time to help you correct history.

The higher the level of decryption, the stronger the effect of the [Holy Relic] will be! "

I secretly said:

"In fact, it may not be that difficult to obtain a [Holy Relic]."

That's when.

Byron suddenly stopped in front of a store that looked very familiar, called "Golden Palm Trading Company".

He frowned and stared at the door for a long time with some uncertainty.

Finally, I couldn't help but walked in, following the fleeting throbbing in my heart.
