Wow.
Under the cover of night, after leaving the royal capital Kingston, the [Eight-legged Pegasus] immediately jumped into the sea, breaking through the waves and running like thunder.

The brother and sister did not immediately set out for the first circulation belt heading south, but instead detoured north and came to the Prince's Territory of Sorenburg where they grew up together.

This is the northern border of the Kingdom of Hattings and the entire Channel Islands.

This is where Catherine's original title, "Flower of the North," came from.

If Elizabeth Woodville was the most beautiful woman in the islands, then Catherine was the most beautiful woman in the North. Now it is difficult to tell who is more beautiful between the two.

Looking down from the sky, the Gelt Highlands are mountainous and covered with endless deciduous forests, as well as gently undulating low green grass and moss.

Because of the high latitude, in the summer, the sun always likes to stay for a long time at sunrise and sunset, and it has the most beautiful sunrise and sunset on the entire continent.

In winter, the daytime becomes just a brief moment connecting dawn and dusk, and it cannot be retained no matter how hard you try, but the night sky is always clear and bright.

Many adventurers and hunters in the wilderness praised the North as the most beautiful place in the entire Old Continent. In its long history, many legends and stories were born there.

Not far to the south of Sorenborg, which is built on the mountain, is the famous [Wonder of Civilization - The Great Wall of the North].

In the mythological era, it was the northern border wall of the Silver Empire, used to defend against the barbarians, who are the ancestors of the main ethnic groups in the current continent.

In the end, barbarism defeated civilization, inherited civilization, and even claimed to be the orthodoxy of the empire.

The [Northern Great Wall] was completely reduced to ruins and had not been used for many years.

It’s a pity that this beautiful place with beautiful scenery and full of magical legends has now fallen into the hands of the ugly "Devil Duke" Richard York.

call out!
A brilliant colorful rainbow light turned into a long bridge and appeared in the sky above Prince Sorenburg's territory. The crisp sound of horse hooves could be faintly heard in the void.

Soon the rainbow bridge shattered, and two people and a horse, completely invisible to mortals, appeared in the sky, walking on a breeze as light as a feather.

With the help of the eight-legged Pegasus' [Rainbow Bridge], the brother and sister crossed most of the Kingdom of Hettings in just a few breaths.

Breathing the fresh air unique to their hometown, Byron and Catherine both felt refreshed:
“No matter how rich or how big the overseas territory is, it can’t be as good as your hometown.

It’s just that the port city of Sorenburg looks much more depressed than last year.”

Under the clear moonlight of early August, there were not many sailboats anchored in the harbor, a marked difference from the last time they met here at the end of last year.

But they soon figured out the reason.

Up to now, the sixth-order demigod-level [Kraken] is still wandering throughout the North Sea.

Punish all "betrayers" according to the killing rules of the Pied Piper's Shepherd's Pipe.

It lasted for almost a year and of course had a huge impact on commercial shipping.

The one that was more affected was actually the Strait Fleet of the Kingdom Navy. Apart from the First Fleet which had already been wiped out in Anchor Bay, several other fleets on the mainland also suffered considerable losses during this year.

The second, third and fourth are the main fleets, the fifth and sixth are the security fleets, and the seventh is the colonial fleet now in Byron's hands.

Except for the Seventh Fleet far overseas, other fleets are suffering continuous blood loss, with varying degrees of loss of personnel, weapons and equipment.

Today, the reason why Edward IV and the kingmaker Warwick both chose to outsource military industry was not only because they were influenced by "The Emperor's New Clothes".

It is precisely based on this helpless reality.

Hattings' own arsenals and shipyards were simply unable to provide them with large-scale civil war supplies.

Byron nodded in understanding:

"The first-level holy relic [Nail of Destruction] is linked together.

The nail I threw out last year, starting with the destruction of the First Fleet by causing flooding in the gun ports, is still having a profound impact on this country today.

Cooperate with me and push him into the abyss step by step."

As for Byron himself, although he is a veteran "nemesis" and "backstab master", he does not have to worry about being attacked by the Kraken.

Not to mention that three copies of "The Covenant between Man and God" have been signed, one soul has already been sold to three parties.

He had bad intentions from the beginning. He wanted to take back everything he had lost from the traitor. How could he be restrained by trust and loyalty?

"The war between the Royalist Party and the Count's Party cannot be ended in a short time. In order to avoid being affected in the future, it is better to take advantage of the two sides' intense struggle to get things done first."

Byron pulled the reins and drove the eight-legged Pegasus to an uninhabited island far to the north of the port city instead of going to the castle led by the prince.

At the northeast corner of the island, facing the end of the "Third Gyre", stands a towering cliff.

On the top of the cliff there is a tomb that is not large in scale but is built with fine materials and is elegant.

There is only one lonely name on the white marble tombstone - Hathaway Lancaster.

This is the tomb of Byron's mother.

There is also an epitaph on the base of the tombstone:

"Byron, don't steal my bear cookies. Please respect the offering. Thank you."

Just by looking at the epitaph, the image of a playful, cute and slightly greedy girl naturally comes to mind, making people smile knowingly.

Hathaway died when Byron was just three years old, and the epitaph was determined by her herself during her lifetime.

The brother and sister dismounted and stared at the cemetery, which had not been tended for a year and was already overgrown with weeds.

They took steps at the same time, without using any special abilities, and worked together to clear away all the weeds that had grown in the past year.

A plate of butter bear biscuits from Ganquan Palace was also placed on the table.

Byron reached out and stroked the moss-covered tombstone facing the sea. His eyes were a little dazed, and he murmured:
"Mother, my sister and I are back to see you."

In the past, when they accompanied their father to pay tribute every year, they always wondered why the cemetery was chosen in such a remote place.

It was not until Byron met his cousin Salant Tudor by chance that he guessed that this was probably the place where his father and mother Hathaway first met.

Across the sea is her hometown, the kingdom of mermaids, and she wants to look at her hometown from here.

Although after death, only a tomb is left to bury the body, and the soul is not there, it is of great significance to both the living and the dead.

Some people say that a person dies three times.

The first is the moment you take your last breath and die in a biological sense.

The second time is during a funeral, when a person’s social identity is completely erased and there is no longer any place for him/her in the world of the living.

The third time is when he/she is completely forgotten by everyone in the world. His/her last trace in the world also completely disappears, and finally completely merges into the ocean of collective subconsciousness.

The promotion system for extraordinary people is essentially the same.

The core is how to exist longer.

The stronger and more far-reaching a person's influence on the human world, the greater his power will be and the stronger his anchor will be in the collective subconscious of mankind.

Even if one has been dead for a thousand years, he will still be remembered by the world and there is still hope for his resurrection.

“For the mother who is in a fog, most people who have crossed paths with her can only remember one name.

Now that we know about our mother’s past, it turns out that the only person with the strongest anchor chain is actually our father.

As the world enters the 'intertidal zone' and sea levels rise, death strandings are becoming more frequent and accidents can happen at any time.

Cemeteries in various countries and major cities are very likely to become time bombs.

The areas around the North Sea are particularly hard hit. It would be best to dig out the corpses that serve as soul anchors now and bring them back to the Bantaan Islands for proper placement.

Sister, step back a little."

Catherine took a few steps back. Byron's head glowed slightly, and he used skull No. 1 to activate the power of crystal skull No. 2 [Mother Earth] Mano.

The ground began to vibrate slightly, and the soil and rocks separated to both sides like flowing water. At the same time, the base rose and brought a crystal clear crystal coffin in front of them.

The first thing Byron saw through the crystal coffin was a petite figure lying inside, intact and seemingly just sleeping.

Catherine beside him immediately cried out in surprise:

"Is it really a fish tail?"

Even though she had learned the true identity of her adoptive mother from Byron and had grown up listening to the fairy tale of the Little Mermaid, she was still shocked when she saw her real mother with her own eyes.

Indeed, Hathaway's body did not look like a human, but rather took on the form of a mermaid.

She had delicate eyebrows and eyes, and looked to be only about sixteen or seventeen years old. Her silver hair was scattered on the crystal pillow, and there was a bright red rose stuck in her temple.

The upper body is as graceful as a girl, and the lower body is a beautiful fish tail shining with silver light.

With his hands clasped in front of his chest, he held together a small piece of blue metal fragment, which emitted a soft blue light in the night.

Driven by her [Mithril Dragon] instinct, Catherine subconsciously wanted to get closer to see what that shiny thing was, but was stopped by Byron.

At the same time, a phototactic moth in the summer night sky instinctively flew towards the light source, but just as it approached within two meters, it was frozen on the spot and fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

"hiss--!"

There was nothing unusual about Hathaway's body itself; the only thing that was unusual was the shiny metal fragment.

He glanced at the [Ship Log] in his right eye and immediately got a glimpse of the information about this ownerless treasure.

[Level 0 Holy Relic: Sea King's Trident] (fragment):
“As we all know, water has three phases: solid, liquid and gas.

The three phases correspond to the three blades of this divine trident, and each has its own power.

The halberd blade, representing liquid, can manipulate ocean waves to cause tsunamis, engulfing ships and even islands.

The halberd blade, which represents gas, allows its holder to change into many different forms, such as different marine creatures, and dominate other marine creatures.

The halberd blade, representing solid, can freeze all things, tangible and intangible, and even conceptual, and block material changes.

The combined trident encompasses all powers within the water body, turning the holder into a true sea king.

In this world that has gradually slid into the 'intertidal zone' and even the deep sea with the advent of the Lunar Age, the [Trident of Poseidon] is undoubtedly one of the most powerful artifacts.

The conditions for use are also very harsh. In addition to the fact that each trident corresponds to a destiny, there is also a prerequisite that one must have the blood of Aquaman.

Destiny: This halberd blade, which represents a solid substance, requires its holder to calm maritime disasters, stop tsunamis, rescue drowning people, and protect cities. "

When Byron saw this, he immediately understood the reason why the little mermaid and the prince met in the fairy tale.

Hathaway accidentally drifted from the Eastern Continent to the Old Continent along the Third Circumference Belt, and rescued her father Edmund Lancaster who fell into the water. This started a dreamlike fairy tale and led to the birth of Byron. It was also because this holy relic could block the power of things to change that Byron did not become a mermaid, but was born as a human.

This was done to block the troubles from the Eastern Continent, and it was a well-intentioned move.

Also because of this holy relic, Hathaway's body and the red rose that her father gave her have not changed in more than ten years.

He also guessed that the level-0 holy relic in the hands of his cousin [Sea Mage] Salant Tudor was most likely the halberd blade representing the gaseous state.

This is how the melee mage who only knows how to use the flash spell can become a master of transfiguration.

But the fighting style of transforming into a hidden fish and drilling into people's anus is really hard to describe.

"I'll try."

Byron assessed the taboos of this treasure and made sure that he would not be attacked.

He took two steps forward and quickly passed the place where the moth fell and came to the crystal coffin. As expected, he was not hurt by the freezing.

He reached out and gently brushed away the dirt on the surface of the coffin lid, saw Hathaway's true appearance with his own eyes, and whispered to her:
"Mother, you don't have to be alone anymore. Come home with me and my sister."

Instead of opening the coffin to take out the trident fragment, the entire crystal coffin was put into a snakeskin bag for storing rare objects.

The underworld of the Taiwanese people, "Valhalla", has a total of nine floors.

It was after the Pirate King [Whale Hunter] Jack Harold passed through the nine levels of the underworld that he obtained the secret of the prophecy of the revival of the Bay People and embarked on the Echidna Triangle.

Byron didn't know which floor his mother Hathaway's soul was sleeping on. Searching for it layer by layer was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the body happened to be the anchor of the soul in the real world.

“Mother, as long as I can make further progress and bring out more power of the Woden Godhead Mask, or recapture the legendary battleship [Valhalla, the Dragon Head Ship of the Bay People], I can forcibly pull your soul out of Valhalla.

At that time, you will be able to freely choose whether to follow the [Book of the Dead] route, or to use the [Elixir] to achieve physical resurrection, or to become a totem god."

Byron was not very sad. Instead, he felt happy because the boundary between life and death was narrowing little by little, and they were one step closer to reunion.

He likes to plan before doing anything, and weigh the pros and cons before doing something so as not to put himself in a dilemma.

If possible, he would have rescued the women of the Lancaster family, led by his aunt Queen Margaret, in advance to prevent them from being taken hostage by the Yorkists in the future.

But they were all handed over to the church and locked up in a heavily guarded monastery.

If we want to rescue those aunts and sisters-in-law, we still have to rely on friendly people within the church like Sister Theresa and [Holy Hammer] Oliver.

Byron already had an overall plan, and he believed that it would bear fruit before he launched his own counterattack on his homeland.

Afterwards, they restored the tomb to its original state, mounted the eight-legged Pegasus and fell into the sea, and were about to ride back to the Bantaan Islands.

"what?"

The two ravens, Fujin and Wuni, who stayed in Ganquan Palace, successively reported back to them the information they had seen.

Catherine was still wondering why the queen had nothing to do with their marriage.

The "one king and two queens" relationship is unlikely to be made public in a short period of time, and it has not yet been decided which of the two sisters will get married in the Golden Empire and which will get married in the Old Continent.

Now that he had heard the Woodville family's plan clearly, he was immediately furious:
"Marry a widow? Swallow the family property? You are seeking death!"

Her towering breast heaved violently, and she was about to urge Byron to go back with her and secretly kill Frith Woodville to teach them a lesson.

Byron quickly put his arms around his sister's slender waist, gently stroked her chest, and comforted her like a child:

"Sister, calm down. He's just a nobody. Why bother with him?

Frith is Edward IV's Right Hand, and will certainly go to the battlefield when the time comes. Let's wait until he survives the hands of the kingmaker Warwick.

Besides, the succubus Therese has already infiltrated the social scene. She is more concerned than us about completing the fifth-level promotion ceremony. It only takes a word to secretly kill her. We can do it anytime."

Catherine calmed down a little, turned her head and looked at Byron in confusion:
"You mean to leave them to their own devices? That's not your style."

Byron shook his head firmly:

“No, no, no, what I mean is that there are 12 brothers and sisters in this generation of the Woodville family, spread all over the kingdom. It would be too troublesome to kill them one by one, and it would also easily alert the enemy.

After catching Elizabeth and Frith's father, Old Woodville, he will use the black magic [Blood Curse] on them.

This way, we can clean up the bloodline from the source from top to bottom so that no one will escape."

Hearing this, Catherine couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

I felt that Byron seemed to have some inexplicable obsession with the matter of "neatness". Even if he didn't want anything else, he wanted to ensure neatness first. I couldn't help but observe three seconds of silence for the Woodville family.

If the anchor on them is not stable enough, they might really be taken away by the blood curse like the Newman family in the past.

Later, when the two of them just set foot on the first circulation belt, the information about Richard, the Devil Duke, was also sent back.

They finally realized it.

"The real mastermind behind this is actually him!"

If it weren't for Byron, Richard would have easily gotten away with it.

But who made [Secret: The Death Stranding Incident under the Bipartisan Dispute, Historical Influence 28] stuck at 70% and unable to move forward?

It's just like reading a fragment of an article, it's really unbearable.

Byron became stubborn and determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

And it's not that there are no clues at all, because if we look beyond the case itself in which all clues have been erased, we can look at this issue from a political perspective.

No matter how unbelievable it is, whoever benefits the most is likely to be the mastermind!

The royalists, this victim of a blessing in disguise, immediately came into Byron's sight. There were only a few people in the party who were qualified to participate in the chess game.

As long as we keep a close eye on them, the truth will naturally come out.

Byron does not need any reasoning, nor does he need to use the detective's essential skills such as: "There is only one truth." "Sherlock, what do you think?" "Blind student, you have found the highlight."

Just send out two ravens to act as eyes and ears, and then just put in an eye and watch openly.

Anyway, no one in the middle sequence can discover the existence of the raven.

In addition, he could use the [Ship's Log] wherever his senses could reach, and no one could refute his self-proclaimed "great detective" who did it out of interest.

I originally thought it might take a few days or even longer to find any clues.

Unexpectedly, not long after leaving the palace, I saw the "Devil Duke" Richard and the devil in the bottle who were in cahoots with each other, and all mysteries were instantly solved.

“This sinister [Devil Duke] actually hid so deeply.

He completed the fourth-tier promotion, facilitated the joining of the neutral faction, and also earned himself a good reputation as an affectionate person. It can be said that he killed three birds with one stone. [King Maker] Warwick had no regrets in losing this round.

How can we possibly win when even our biggest helper is an undercover agent sent by someone else?

However, neither the [Devil Duke] nor the [King Maker] probably know that this devil in the bottle is not an ordinary transcendent.

And most likely, like his mother and Salant, he is an outsider who drifted from the Eastern Continent, and he is much stronger than refugees like his mother and Salant.

I would never believe that he would truly help Richard gain eternal life and the throne.

He must have his own calculations.

The chess game in the Kingdom of Hattings is becoming more and more exciting."

At the same time, as the decryption was completed, a new entry appeared in the logbook: [Why not eat meat? ]

“It pairs up with the previous entry [I don’t eat beef], one question and one answer.

Experts say there are many ways to solve poverty.

For example, if you have a private car, you can go out to do some work, which is a very effective way to solve the problem of low income and employment;
For example, if you rent out your idle house, this is also a way to earn income.

[Why not eat meat?] You can sacrifice unused entries in exchange for spiritual growth. "

Byron touched his chin after reading the introduction:
“Because of the [Golden Triangle], our life force, lifespan, and spirituality as well as those of the two queens can flow freely.

Especially spirituality flows from the higher man to the lower man.

After I broke through the fourth level, my spirituality was 15.1, and I needed 20 points to reach the fifth level.

But after completing the decryption, I was rewarded with 0.7 spirituality, and it all went to Catherine, who currently has the lowest spiritual level among the three of us.

Moreover, the 0.7 of the fourth stage is different from the 0.7 of the third stage. After it came to Catherine, it at least doubled, allowing her to fill the spiritual gap in one go and reach the threshold of the fourth stage.

All he needs to do is perform the corresponding rituals to catch up with Violet and me.

In the future, with this [Why not eat meat], when you encounter some useless terms, you can convert them into spiritual power for the three of you to use together, at least you won’t lose money.”

As a large amount of spiritual energy was injected into Catherine's body, the girl's face turned slightly red, and she leaned softly in Byron's arms, panting slightly:
"What happened just now? So many spirits poured in all of a sudden. It was too much.

Help me, Byron!"

The improvement was too fast at one time, causing some indigestion, and she involuntarily transformed into a larger dragon girl form.

Dragon horns grew on his forehead, his eyes turned into dragon pupils, and even a pair of broad dragon wings grew on his smooth back. A flexible tail behind his buttocks was wrapped around Byron's waist.

She took the initiative to invite Byron to help her tame the dragon's power.

Who can resist such a tempting request for help?

Byron looked at the beautiful girl in his arms, whose breath was as sweet as orchid and whose plea was as melodious as a nightingale. Even the gods could not resist her charm. He swallowed and slowly pulled up her skirt.

next moment.

The two people have achieved the unity of man and dragon without any hesitation.

At the same time, he activated the knight's basic ability [Ride], and immediately became connected with the eight-legged Pegasus, achieving the state of unity between man and horse.

This [Eight-legged Pegasus] actually only comes from Byron's own power. It has no self-awareness and is not the original creature in the myth.

After all, even the true gods were drowned in the flood, so how could these mounts and pets survive by chance?

Tianma's mind is like a blank sheet of paper. Apart from instinct, he has no subjective consciousness. Putting on automatic cruise control is no different from driving a car.

Riding a dragon does not interfere with riding a horse.
