Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 450: I don’t eat beef
Adhering to the principle of first down, last up, first out, last in, the Golden Deer, together with dozens of sailboats that were about to return, temporarily stopped at the entrance and exit waters outside the bridgehead.

Although it would take almost two days to return via the Broken Islands, the crew members were still very happy to be able to safely embark on the journey home.

The atmosphere on the boat became much more lively.

After the first circumnavigation of the southern continent, Delia successfully advanced to the third level and was reporting the good news to her parents through the legal network.

The new sea mage, Salant Tudor, was sparring with other pirate officers, and the fight was going on with clang clang clang.

Unable to withstand the opponent's sharp "staff", the defeated octopus man Xiaoba is using his regeneration ability to repair his injuries.

He is somewhat similar to the "mage" who only used the [Flash Technique] from beginning to end. Although he is a [Beast Tamer], he is obsessed with swordsmanship and is determined to become a swordsman of the Eight Swords Style.

Byron was very supportive of Xiao Ba and encouraged him that as long as he mastered the "divine vision" above the "heart flow", becoming a sword saint and creating the Eight Swords Style would be a piece of cake.

And every time he practiced sword skills or fought, he would collect the tentacles that were cut off.

Xiao Ba was also very moved:

“The Captain must have taken my tentacles to study the differences between octopus hands and human hands, to help me perfect my swordsmanship!

The captain is so kind to me!"

In fact, he was in the captain’s room enjoying the squid tentacles Violet had prepared for him, praising them as he ate:

"A real man should practice swordsmanship, which not only makes him look handsome, but also makes the flesh on his tentacles firmer and more chewy.

Not bad, not bad, Xiao Ba’s path is getting wider and wider, and more and more delicious.

As the captain, I am very pleased. "

Although the side effects of tentacle fetishism disappeared after drinking the blood of immortality, Byron himself became a "tentacle monster" with a solidified aesthetic in a certain sense.

Things that make other people's sanity values ​​drop wildly are still just daily routine for him.

At least now it won't affect his subjective judgment.

When [Puppet King] Louis looked at the Golden Deer, Byron also glanced at the quasi-legendary battleship [Dream Castle] which had a particularly unique shape and was leading the way.

He did not realize that he had become a prepared "puppet" in the eyes of others, and a key prop for others to take advantage of the situation.

It was just that this Prince of Castile reminded me of the Sailboat Collector, whose clone was captured by the Balance of Domination and whose original ship-bound spirit was so scared that it fled in panic.

"Puppet King Louis? The intelligence system of Financial Street has received news that Morton Gray has returned to Castile and become the president of the Royal Academy of Engineering.

Another fifth-level legend has returned, and the power of the Kingdom of Castile is growing like a snowball.

Compared with them, the gap between the Kingdom of Hastings is still too big, and it is impossible to pull down this first power in a short period of time. "

“However, I have heard that as the famous Enrique the Incompetent gets older, Castile is in turmoil over the issue of the crown prince.

One group, led by Louis the Puppet King, supported Juana, while the other group rallied around Enrique IV's half-sister, 21-year-old Princess Isabella.

These are also the two largest political forces in Castile.

If only they could have fought a throne war hard.

Only if we kill half of the high-ranking and high-sequence extraordinary people, those of us who are second or third in command will have a chance to rise to the top against all odds."

“If you ask me, this thing called [King’s Number] is really harmful to people.

It is not something you take yourself, but comes from the collective subconscious of the people, that you can only take what you are given.

Incompetent! Listen to the title of Henry IV. What is the difference between this and a public execution?
Even social death is not as frightening as this. Being nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of your life without even a chance to argue.

The same goes for my uncle's title, "Mad King", which is one of the sources of political unrest in the kingdom. Doesn't the king have any face?
Now that all the secrets have been exposed, won’t the ambitious people immediately become restless?
Hey, what is that?

Just as the two sides passed each other, Byron suddenly looked at the bow of his ship through the door of the captain's room, and his eyes froze.

An invisible thread that was absolutely invisible even to the spiritual vision of a supernatural being suddenly dropped from the void and was firmly tied to the keel of the Golden Deer.

It's like a rope tying a cow, leading them by the nose.

However, this thread seems to be invisible, but it cannot escape the dual vision of Byron's [divine vision] and the logbook.

Then a line of writing appeared in the log:
“The puppet king’s puppet strings (not yet activated).

It can achieve physical interference or fate interference. Please be alert to abnormal fate deviation! "

Byron was shocked. He didn't expect that before he could make a move against the Kingdom of Castile, the other side would attack him first.

"Could it be that the Puppet King has already known my plan to plunder the treasure fleet?

Impossible. I didn’t tell anyone except Violet about the target for the next promotion. How could he know?

Should we do it? If I leave him here, what are my chances of winning? "

A series of questions popped up in his mind.

Now Byron has accumulated six fourth-level ones: himself, Violet, the succubus Therese Ashbell, the [Oath Knight] August Habsburg, his uncle, and his father.

At the critical moment, they can also pull in the [Goddess of Love and Beauty] Freya. A total of seven fourth-level extraordinary people are more than enough to confront a fifth-level legend head-on.

However, Byron soon discovered that there was no movement after the silk thread fell on the boat.

The quasi-legendary battleship Dream Castle passed by and then gradually went away.

This made Byron give up the urge to call his father and the Blue Dragon King to fight the Puppet King directly.

After all, the Puppet King's first choice plan was to quietly find the totem god first and kill any offspring that his brother [The Incompetent] might have at the reproductive cell stage.

Simple and direct, with minimal variables.

If they really can't find it, they will consider launching a black-eating-black plan with greater returns but higher risks.

Byron certainly didn't know this.

All he knew was that this fifth-order palace sequence legend [Puppet Master] had no good intentions in leaving a puppet string on his ship, and there must be something fishy going on.

He immediately began to think about how to trick the Puppet King by taking advantage of the fact that the other party didn't know that he had bad intentions.

Is it even possible to get intelligence about the Treasure Fleet with the help of the other party?

Byron casually flipped open a page of the logbook and raised his eyebrows at the line of words on it:

"After I finish decrypting [Secret: The Dark Clouds of Succession of the Throne of the Solar Empire], the new entry I just obtained: [I Don't Eat Beef] should be useful soon."

Since Byron dared to set his sights on the Treasure Fleet, he certainly had a plan in advance on how to crack the information black box formed by the three keepers.

He relies on two ravens, Fujin and Muni, who can see the whole world, and this new entry.

[Entry·I don’t eat beef]:
"The term "outlaw" is aimed at the iron laws of the various monarchies in the continental legal system, which allows you to escape the punishment of the law.

"I don't eat beef" is aimed at the taboos of bizarre evil spirits, or the control and rule-based abilities of other supernatural beings.

Breaking the rules set by oneself or others to a certain extent can weaken one level at most, depending on one's own extraordinary rank.

If we go a step further, it is: My rules are the rules!
With this term, you become a perfect contract fraudster, able to jump around in various contracts, rules, and taboos.

Hey, I jumped out again, I jumped in again, hit me, idiot! "

A two-sided die usually lands on either the front or back side, but there is a small chance that it will land upright.

Byron is now the side of that coin. He can choose whether to lean to the left or to the right and choose the path he will take in the future.

Title special effect: [The Key to the Treasure Ship] is a rule-based ability. If Fujin and Wuni cooperate with [I Don't Eat Beef], there is indeed a certain hope of successfully breaking through that existence barrier.

But it is not completely safe.

At this moment, Byron looked at the invisible and intangible puppet thread and took out a golden card from his pocket.

It is the nemesis of many extraordinary people in the Hall Sequence, the cursed object from the Clown: [Golden Big Ghost Card]!
Looking at the colorful hair slowly floating out of the card, it actually seemed to have life and spread towards the thread little by little. Just when it was about to touch, Byron put it back again and smiled:
“This is my last insurance policy to ensure that I don’t mess up.

The puppet thread can be left on the ship first.

Therese should have understood that the identities of hunter and prey are never clear-cut, and the identity change may happen in just a moment.

We'll see who is the hunter and who is the prey!"
