Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 451: Dragon Knight and Her Mount (7200 in One)

International Port, Taiman Islands.

Merchant ships, warships, privateers and other sailing ships were coming and going, with endless white sails reaching the sky, making it more lively than a month ago.

In order to welcome the return of Governor Byron, all departments in the Governor's Office are compiling monthly reports for the past month.

The group of civilian administrative officials in the territory are not as good as those trusted military officers who can often accompany Byron. Of course, they cannot let go of this rare opportunity to show their face.

Everyone worked hard.

For particularly important results, she would directly consult with the [Mithril Dragon] Catherine, who was becoming more and more like a mistress.

Anyway, no one among the top leaders of any branch of Byron's faction had ever suspected that something unexpected would happen in this marriage.

Even the Azca Emperor [Conqueror] Cortes and the King of Chichen Itza, Geronimo, personally went to Tayapan, the capital of the Golden Empire, to report to Catherine's Law Projection:
“Your Majesty, the unification war between Azik and Taya Empire ended completely two days ago, and the last city-state has been captured.

The two empires, with a total of 500 city-states, 13 million people, and numerous guardian spirits, all surrendered.

And according to your instructions, we have set up three levels of administrative divisions under the royal capital of Tayapan: state level, city level, and town level.

The entire empire was divided into thirty-one states.

Administrative officials and affairs officials at all levels also arrived in batches and started from scratch to implement a unified administrative system and a legal system applicable to all city-states.

It will take a long time to count the assets, measure the land, and register the household. The first national census will probably take until the end of this year to produce a report.

In addition, all the guardian spirits of all sizes, totaling more than 500 in each city-state, have joined the [Golden Law] system.

It has united with an even larger number of natural spirits, focusing on stabilizing the law nodes, sorting out thoughts and wishes, and suppressing the forbidden areas and secret realms in various places.

His Majesty, the Lord of Heaven, has also become the only official belief in the Golden Empire.

We are confident that it will take at most one generation to unite the Taino people under the city-state tribal system into a whole with a unified faith."

The projection of Catherine, who looked like a native, nodded with satisfaction:

“Yes, our Lord of Heaven said that it is difficult to build an empire, and it is even more difficult to maintain it.

Our next main task is to select teenagers and young people of appropriate age in each city-state and send them to school to cultivate the backbone of the future.

Sooner or later, the Lancastrian officials will return to Hattings, and the Taino people will have to create their own future.

Believe in yourself, agricultural nations have a unique advantage in this regard. "

The brutal rule of the Castilians here in the past caused repeated hostility and hatred among the Taino people.

The [Lord of Heaven] was different. He was actively welcomed by believers from all over the world into the ruling system of the entire empire.

He saved most people's lives from the smallpox plague, made a series of great inventions in agriculture and industry, and had the tradition of being his own "god", which made him popular from the beginning.

The 1300 million Taino people, who represent "change", are Byron's greatest wealth in the material world and the extraordinary path.

By the time the Holy Golden Empire, an empire of industrial capital, gradually thrives on the remains of the ancient civilization of the Neolithic Age, it will have no problem supporting four or five kings, or even higher-level [demigods].

Geronimo then told her the good news:

"Your Majesty, there is another great event.

Since His Majesty the Lord of Heaven opened up the anchoring authority of the Golden Law, the first successful fourth-order mythical creature has just been born. "

Catherine's face lit up immediately. While using the legal network to check the information, she took the initiative to ask:

"who is it?"

Geronimo was full of pride and said excitedly:
“It was Sihuatl, the great shaman of the city of Uxmal, who had obtained sufficient anchorage as the diocesan [bishop].

When the promotion ceremony was held some time ago, I personally served as her guard.

The ritual has now been completed, and there is only about a month of dormancy left before it can completely transform into the mythical creature [Mountain Demon Bear].

After the news spread, the whole empire was in an uproar, and the beast spirit warriors all praised His Majesty's benevolence.

Your Majesty, the Lord of Heaven, has come, and our spring has come!"

Catherine checked the records through the legal network and found that the good news had begun to spread like the wind, causing a huge stir.

A huge uproar broke out among the mid-level beast spirit warriors.

In the past, due to insufficient anchoring, the fourth stage was a threshold of life and death. After being promoted, they often did not transform into mythical creatures but degenerated into a grotesque combination of humans and beasts in one step.

After Byron's arrival, not only did he open up channels for the lower class to rise, but he also allowed those with ability and achievements to come to the fore.

It also offered a killer weapon that allowed many mid-sequence transcendents to take a step further - the anchor quota of the [Golden Law].

As more and more believers surrender to the unified empire, the Golden Law built around the Golden Triangle, thirteen crystal skulls and a group of guardian spirits with only divinity left has become increasingly solid.

In addition to the seventeen vacancies for the [King's Right Hand], many middle and lower-level official positions are also sufficient to provide a possibility for those third-order transcendents who have reached the critical point but dare not be promoted to walk on two legs.

These positions are divided into three routes: the administrative officer route, the military route, and the clergy route.

Compared with the Ladder of Glory in the Old Continent and the Book of Beast Families (Volume 2) in the Southern Continent, this method of anchoring is obviously more closely linked to the country.

The interests of the country are the interests of the individuals, so there is no need to worry about them not working hard.

The rank that Byron reaches will determine the rank that the indigenous extraordinary people serving under him will be promoted to.

The newly promoted Siwatel was grateful to Byron for inventing ridge farming, fertilizer and curved plow, which saved his people from starvation and suicide to return to the [Flower Mountain Heaven].

He had already become a fanatical follower of Byron (Chapter 347).

When there is a benefit, she is the first one to receive it.

With the successful promotion of Siwatel, the first role model, the cries of "My Lord is the Highest" and "Those who stand in the way will die" once again echoed over the empire for a long time.

Even the conquered city-state that surrendered voluntarily was no exception.

Their core interests are highly consistent with those of the empire, and anyone who hinders the Golden Empire is their mortal enemy!

The identity of the person promoted did not surprise Catherine.

“It turned out to be the Great Shaman Xihuatel, a fanatic follower of the Lord of Heaven. I remember that the bastion of Strom Fortress was designed by her.

After the unification of the Golden Empire, it was time to start a large-scale infrastructure project focusing mainly on road construction, and Sivatel’s breakthrough came at the right time.

She and her fellow bear warriors will soon be put to good use.

His Majesty the Lord of Heaven has already planned a construction blueprint. If it is successfully completed, Ms. Sivatel may have a chance to become a fifth-level Pseudo-God.

By the way, you can also pick up a powerful power and a godly title like [Infrastructure Maniac]. "

Catherine saw the uncontrollable envy on the two people's faces, especially the sense of urgency written on the face of [Conqueror] Cortes, who could no longer be promoted after his death. She smiled at them easily:

“Don’t worry, you two.

You are all the earliest ministers to follow His Majesty in Yucatan, and your abilities and loyalty are beyond doubt.

When the Emperor returns, he will grant you the Night Demon's [First Embrace], and it will be easy for you to live another hundred or two hundred years.

From now on, you will grow together with the Holy Golden Empire. Even if you fall behind for a while, the dividends of the times will force you to the right position."

The two were overjoyed and bowed to the ground together, thanking him repeatedly:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty the Emperor and Your Majesty the Empress."

Catherine gave them more good news than that and raised her hand.

Om-!
The increasingly powerful [Golden Law] is called upon to manifest.

It can be clearly seen that the legal network has a "golden triangle" as its core, and faintly presents a seven-layer legal structure, and the first four layers have been roughly formed.

Compared with the [Silver Law], there is still a big gap in size, but there is no essential difference.

It also possesses the triple authority to manage gods, humans, and the dead, making it more complete than the castrated Silver Law.

Catherine pointed to the sequence paths of the lighthouse, castle, and courtroom that appeared in the depths of the Law Network, and explained to them with a smile:

"Your Majesty knows that the extraordinary system and the economic system are similar. If only the official 'visible hand' allocates anchoring authority, it will only lead to systemic rigidity.

Therefore, as the seven-layer legal network grows, the Golden Empire will gradually open up the promotion rights of the [Ladder of Glory], allowing outstanding talents to be promoted independently.

Use an 'invisible hand' to give full play to everyone's subjective initiative.

The good days of the Holy Golden Empire are still to come."

[Conquistadors] Cortes and Geronimo said goodbye excitedly and left, ready to tell their people the good news.

In the International Port, in the Governor's Mansion where Catherine's real body is located, the summary and reporting work is still going on.

"Ms. Catherine, in the past month, the war on Yucatan Island has gradually subsided and trade has expanded. The cargo throughput of the international port has been growing rapidly every day.

Pioneer Bank's vaults No. 1 and No. 2 are almost full, so I suggest we hurry up and dig a new vault."

The deputy of the Ministry of Finance had a flushed face, and his hands were shaking with excitement as he looked at the straight-up yield curve.

Catherine was not surprised.

The Golden Empire's trade policy is unified by the royal capital, Tayapan, and the Governor's Office of the International Port takes the lead in negotiations, and the West Wind Express merchant ship responsible for freight determines the transportation price.

There is also a privateering fleet of the Pioneer Leading Colonial Trading Company, which uses the most "simple" business war model to dissuade competitors.

Party A, Party B, everyone inside and outside is ours. We can manipulate the market at will. How can we not make money?
This already has some of the flavor of the "Supreme Art" financial trade war.

"Miss Catherine's Fortress Armory"

The monthly summary of each department lasted until the evening.

After the last subordinate left, Catherine had dinner alone, returned to her room, took a bath and changed into a red silk nightgown.

Sitting in the chair and stretching lazily, the graceful curves of the slender branches with fruits hanging on them cast a graceful silhouette under the whale oil lamp.

At this moment, a silver tinderbox on the table suddenly flashed with fire.

The head maid Shirley walked out from the firelight with several maids who were more exquisite than dolls, each holding a few exquisite dresses in their hands.

"Madam, we have brought back the custom-made clothes from the Old World."

Catherine's eyes lit up, and her tired body and mind were immediately filled with energy again.

She jumped down from the chair, swaying her slender waist, and walked in front of the maids in her high-heeled slippers.

With eyes shining, he admired each thing one by one.

Byron said that when he came back this time, Violet would be in charge of the base camp, and he would take her back to the homeland to receive the title.

Catherine naturally started preparing early.

All of these are masterpieces of fashion designers from Florence, the art capital of the Old World.

In order to prevent the embarrassing situation of aristocratic ladies wearing the same clothes, all clothes are unique and specially customized. The clothes are beautiful and the prices are even more attractive.

When she first learned the price, Catherine, who had been used to living a tight life in the past, felt a pang of pain.

But the designers argued:

“In social situations, respect the clothes first and then the person.

The best luxury for men is us women.

As long as a woman is wearing jewels and famous brands, no matter how unkempt a man is, others will not look down on him.

You can only say that you have money and status, what's so great about that? That beautiful woman is willing to be with you, she must be after your money!"

Although it felt like a fallacy, Catherine couldn't help but open the zipper of her wallet for Byron's sake.

Of course, she used her own little treasury.

And she didn't just buy them for herself. She customized two sets of dresses with the same theme but different styles for each model.

Catherine took one set for herself and left one set for Violet.

The white swan and black swan of "Swan Lake Dream"; the pink and white sisters of "Sweetheart Doll"; the golden moon and silver moon of "Moonlight Summer"; the red and white roses of "Rozen Maiden"
In the hands of those fashion design masters, each of these sets perfectly suits the temperament of the two people.

"You have one thing, I have another. You have one thing, I have another."

Catherine divided the clothes into two parts while admiring them with great joy.

Her greatest strength is her broad-mindedness in every sense of the word. Although she is two years younger than Violet, she looks more like the eldest sister in the family who cares about everything.

When she got to the end, she suddenly saw a pile of colorful clothes in a separate walnut box, and her cheeks couldn't help but blush.

But she still suppressed her shame, took out one of them and slowly unfolded it.

Under the bright light, all the fabric of the dress was smaller than a little girl's palm, and was divided into two triangular pieces, front and back.

The green tulle material can be seen through at a glance, with only a few thin red ribbons connecting the middle.

The matching top is of the same style, which not only fails to cover anything, but makes it even more conspicuous.

Just holding it in her hand made Catherine feel her body getting hot and her cheeks smoking.

The merchant’s words seem to still ring in my ears:

“This is a new style of clothing launched by our store. It has become popular among the ladies of Florence and is regarded as a secret treasure for enhancing the relationship between couples.

To control a man, you only need one set, and if that's not enough, then get another set.

Trust me, that's right! "

Catherine, who was always shrewd, somehow got confused and involuntarily paid for these "clothes" whose material cost was almost nothing.

not worth!
Not worth it!

It would be better to be embarrassed together than to be embarrassed alone, so she also bought two pieces and shared them with Violet, each of them had five or six pieces.

The difference is obvious. Catherine's cup is about the size of a small watermelon, a D cup, which is obviously one size larger than Violet's.

After Shirley and the maids left, Catherine quietly drew the curtains, touched the delicate and smooth little dress, and bit her lower lip with a red face.

Then, facing the floor-length mirror in the room, she untied the strings of her nightgown as if possessed by a demon, and put on the green tulle dress.

She even threw a coquettish glance at the mirror in an unskilled manner.

The extremely beautiful and seductive blonde girl in the mirror made Catherine's heart beat wildly.

Although it’s not so exaggerated as to make me die of beauty on the spot.

But the "Flower of the North", who is qualified to compete with "The Most Beautiful Woman in the Channel Islands" Elizabeth Woodville for the title of the most beautiful woman, is indeed so beautiful that it is unfair.

It's not acquired extraordinary ability, but natural beauty.

Especially when paired with a small outfit that is more seductive than wearing nothing at all, even a man made of steel will become soft as silk in front of her.

Suddenly I felt that this little piece of cloth was worth the money.

"According to the speed of the Golden Deer, it will be back the day after tomorrow at the latest, and I will wear this one then.

If it weren't for the continuation of the Lancaster family, I would never wear such clothes in front of that little scoundrel Byron.

Wouldn’t he be so happy that he almost died?

Yes, it's for Lancaster, I don't like this kind of clothes at all, huh! "

Just by quietly admiring the beautiful girl with pink skin in the mirror for a while, Catherine felt her legs go a little weak.

I was just about to take off this embarrassing little dress.

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!
Suddenly, I heard the faint sound of dripping water and wind, and then an illusory vortex of light appeared in the middle of the room.

It is obviously impossible for anyone else to break through the border maze of the [Golden Law] silently.

Catherine was suddenly panicked. She quickly put on the bright red nightgown and closed the walnut box containing a dozen other small clothes.

As soon as she did all this, Byron and Violet stepped out of the whirlpool hand in hand and appeared in front of her.

When he looked up and saw Catherine, he gave her a big smile:

"The two of us left the Golden Deer behind for two more days at sea and returned ahead of schedule.

Sister, did you miss me? Are you surprised?

"Huh? What were you doing just now?"

Byron had sharp eyes and immediately noticed that his sister was blushing and frantically trying to hide something.

A corner of emerald green gauze was visible at the shoulder of the untied nightgown.

There are two piles of clothes in the bedroom. It seems like she was changing clothes just now?

Noticing his gaze, Catherine quickly pulled up her collar to cover her inner garment, pinched her waist and said to him fiercely:
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it before?"

But he was obviously timid inside, his eyes wandered and he subconsciously looked at the clothes and box beside him.

When Byron and Violet saw this expression, they couldn’t help but think of the cute roar of a dragon: “Ah~”

Violet, who had known what Catherine had bought but had kept it a secret from Byron, had already guessed what she had just done. She did not expose her mistake, but suppressed her laughter and picked up her pile of clothes.

He walked straight to the bedroom door, opened it, and turned back to blink at Catherine with a half-smile:

"I'll give this brother back to you. I'll sleep next door, so you two should keep your noises down at night."

Catherine's jade-like cheeks flushed again at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she said helplessly:
"Eh? Isn't today Monday? According to the schedule, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are your days. Otherwise, I'll just go tomorrow.

Or you can stay and help me, okay?"

Catherine was obviously much more timid than Violet. After preparing herself mentally for half a month, she backed down when the time came and stammered, trying to ask her best sister for encouragement.

Violet waved her hand generously:
"We are good sisters, why are you being polite to me? I have been eating alone for a month. I will give it to you today. You can give it to me the day after tomorrow."

When she pushed the door open, she raised her thumb and said with a sly smile like a real little witch:

"Katherine, I've used you so many times, and to be honest, your brother tastes good! Great!"

Bang!
The door was closed, leaving the brother and sister staring at each other.

Violet was indeed a great help. She set the mood to such an extent that it would seem inappropriate not to do something.

Today was the first time the two of them had met face to face since the breakup.

It was also the first time that Byron appreciated Catherine from another perspective.

Her skin was as white as snow, her lips were fiery red, and she was extremely beautiful, especially the two super long legs with perfect proportions that could not be moved at all under the hem of her nightgown.

The rose-red toes of the open-toed high-heeled shoes look like sweet cherries, curling and straightening nervously.

The two were so close that their breaths touched, and the refreshing scent of roses calmed Byron's heart, which was still pounding.

Catherine also looked up at Byron in front of her.

Handsome, tall, majestic, and with a perfect body, he fits perfectly into every girl's dream of a prince charming.

Before I knew it, the younger brother in front of me had grown from a little kid who used to chase after me all day long into a man who could truly support a family and even a country.

Others call her the [Mithril Dragon], but only she knows that this title is at least 80% due to Byron.

Without him they wouldn't have what they have now.

A faint mist rose in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little dazed. She took a step forward and hugged him tightly in her arms, and whispered:
"Welcome home Byron."

Then she whispered in his ear:
“Byron, you know, when we first met again, I actually just wanted to use the Greenville family’s property to support you.

By the way, I'll help you give birth to a few children so that our family can live a peaceful and stable life together.

You don't have to do anything, just shout "Rich woman, food, hungry" every day.

You can do this, which is something I never dared to dream of.

You are my sister's pride.

Are you hungry after rushing back here? I’m downstairs.”

But Byron held her in his arms and whispered hotly in her ear:

"Tsk, I don't know you? You don't usually say so many sentimental things. Are you so nervous that your palms and soles are sweating?

But if you are nervous, I am not nervous.

I am indeed hungry, but now I just want to eat you!"

Then he bit her white and slender swan neck.

"Well!"

Catherine's beautiful lake green eyes suddenly widened, and she snorted softly from her nose. Her white toes instantly stretched straight and her slippers fell to the ground.

The blood-sucking of [Night Devil] is not only eating, but also directly injecting a large amount of "happiness" into the "prey", making it unable to stop.

Catherine was ruthlessly exposed by Byron. She clenched her fist and knocked on his chest twice:
"Bad guy, you actually really eat it."

Byron pretended not to know, and let go of the girl after a while, with a hint of teasing in his voice:
"Didn't you treat me to a meal?

How else should I eat it? Can you teach me, sister?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the shape of the beautiful girl in his arms began to change dramatically.

The lake green eyes turned into golden dragon-like vertical pupils, two crystal clear golden dragon horns grew on the white forehead, and the brilliant golden hair moved without wind.

There were bright silver dragon scales on her cheeks, shoulder blades, and thighs, and a thick silver dragon tail behind her buttocks broke through her nightgown.

A large area of ​​white waist and abdomen is revealed between the bright silver scales, with slender and powerful waist, narrow diamond-shaped navel, and even well-developed abdominal muscle curves.

Half human, half dragon, with a strange and alternative beauty.

In an instant, she transformed into the form of a Mithril Dragon Girl, or more accurately, a third-level half-dragon. Her actual strength reached the fourth level under the amplification of the law.

The small clothes that she didn't have time to take off were naturally exposed, which made Byron's eyes sparkle and his nose feel a little hot.

Seeing that there was no way to cover it, Catherine simply gave up and snorted:
"Do you think I dress like this to please you? Yes, you guessed it right.

But, your sister will always be your sister, so just lie down obediently.

You are the mount tonight!"

He stood up and tried to suppress Byron, and then do whatever he wanted to him just like he had done to his brother in the past ten years.

Byron's two non-human queens are worthy of being sisters. Even their starting moves are exactly the same - turning over and singing on their mounts.

“You wish. Last time, I was easily defeated by Violet’s whale-girl form. That was because I hadn’t yet transformed into a mythical creature.

If I am suppressed by you, the dragon lady, again, wouldn't my promotion to the mythical form of [Night Demon Prince] be in vain?"

Byron, who was well prepared, also partially unfolded his mythical form - the ever-changing "∞", and then turned into a dragon-man form like the girl.

Only the scales are a brilliant golden color.

"Ow—!"

Boom!

The lights went out, and the entire Governor's Mansion shook violently.

The two dragons began to fight. Whoever won would be qualified to be a real "dragon knight", and whoever lost would be the "mount" for tonight.

Sudden.

"Hiss! No, my little Byron is not like that. We took baths together when we were little, and I saw his little pussy many times with my own eyes."

Before Catherine could continue, Byron blocked her mouth:

"Hey! Shut up, you little dragon girl, how dare you speak so arrogantly? I want you to have a taste of what a five-meter-long dragon rider's gun is like! Die!"

“Mercy!”

The overly familiar feeling between childhood sweethearts is long gone.

There will only be endless freshness in the future, and this process will take a very long time.

But it doesn’t matter. They have long lifespans and have plenty of time to do this slowly.

The two giant dragons were so busy getting acquainted with each other that they did not notice that a rhythmic earthquake wave was gradually spreading out with their Governor's Mansion as the center.
