Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 49: Feint to the East and Attack in the West, Blood Holy Grail
The one-eyed first mate had heard many legends about the various monsters and evil spirits on this sea.

After realizing something was wrong, he did not look back immediately.

He knew that it was absolutely taboo to turn around suddenly when he was not sure what the other party was.

Instead, he continued to walk forward two steps as if nothing had happened.

The extraordinary person's keen senses were mobilized by him, and he held his breath and paid close attention to the footsteps behind him.

The [Pirate] of the Lighthouse Sequence obtains three abilities at the squire level: [Weapon Mastery], [Mountain Goat Footsteps], and [Blind Fighting Expert].

The perception ability is absolutely first-class.

"Two? Yes, it is indeed two, not three.

I must have drunk too much just now, and I accidentally had an illusion. "

When he tried to distinguish carefully, he found that there were only two footsteps. He heaved a sigh of relief and secretly blamed himself for being too suspicious.

However, before he could take another two steps, he heard the footsteps behind him suddenly dropped to only one!
The one-eyed first mate couldn't help but shiver, and the alcohol in his body was half sobered up in an instant.

My pace involuntarily quickened a bit.

The footsteps behind him were like a shadow. When he was fast, his footsteps were fast, and when he was slow, his footsteps were slow.

What was even more horrifying was that just when he could no longer suppress the fear in his heart and was about to run away, the footsteps behind him suddenly turned into two!

"Asshole! Who on earth is behind this? How dare you tease me, One-Eyed Dragon Arnold?!"

The extreme fear finally turned into a roar of anger. He no longer cared about any taboos and turned his head away angrily.

But he unexpectedly saw Tom, one of his two men, looking at him with an innocent face.

"What's wrong, first mate? You're walking so fast, I can hardly keep up with you."

Seeing Tom's familiar face, One-Eyed Man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I also began to suspect that the unscrupulous bar owner had added some hallucinogenic contraband into the wine I drank today, which was why I had hallucinations again and again.

However, before he could completely relax, his heart suddenly became tense again, and he asked the "henchman" in front of him sternly:

"Where's Jerry? Why are you alone?"

He clearly remembered that there were two footsteps behind him before he turned around just now, but when he turned around, there was only one of his men left. Isn't this even more terrifying?

As soon as he finished speaking, a vague voice sounded behind him:

"First mate, are you looking for me?"

But the voice was not from his subordinate Jerry at all.

“Ah! Are you the one behind this? Go to hell!!!”

His mentality went up and down like a roller coaster, and finally [One-Eyed Dragon] completely collapsed and suddenly drew his sword.

The knife light exploded like lightning in the night, drawing a bright arc and slashing behind him.

Even without turning around, his strike was as precise as if he had eyes on the back of his head, and it went straight to the opponent's head where the sound came from.

In fact, ordinary people need to break an inherent stereotype.

Most of those one-eyed men wearing eye patches on pirate ships are not really blind!

The reason for wearing an eye mask is that there is no shade at sea, the light is often very strong, and the interior of the cabin is dark and cramped.

During a robbery or battle, if one suddenly enters the cabin from the deck and his eyes cannot adapt to the light changes in time, he will be easily ambushed and lose his life.

Wearing an eye patch makes a big difference.

When the environment changes, the pirate only needs to move the eyepatch to the other side, exposing the eye that has adapted to the darkness, and can adjust the combat status in the first time.

This is also the key reason why the ability [Blind Fight Expert] becomes a must-have for [Pirates]!

Not only can it adapt to the environment, but it can also help pirates wage night battles in dim light and catch merchant sailors off guard.

However, the One-Eyed Dragon, who had lost his composure, overlooked a very serious problem.

Who said that there was only one Wild Hunt who came to attack him?
Just as the One-Eyed Dragon drew his sword and slashed backwards, his chest was wide open.

The "subordinate" standing in front of him also suddenly drew his sword.

Clang!
Step forward and thrust forward.

Among the three basic attack postures of slashing, stabbing, and cutting, it is the most powerful and easiest to dodge.

But at this time, the one-eyed dragon had no way to dodge or avoid it.

The bone-chilling sword light condensed into a line, freezing the one-eyed dragon's dazed face like frost, and instantly pierced his heart and lungs!

Byron's swordsmanship was already outstanding, and after obtaining the passive ability [Swordsmanship Mastery] of [Storm Knight], it reached a new level.

After the blow hit him, Byron immediately drew his sword and stepped back.

Guts, who was attracting attention behind the One-Eyed Dragon, let out a strange cry and easily dodged the blade that had lost its accuracy.

He instantly leaned forward and stabbed the dagger in his hand deeply into the back of his head.

Successfully finished off the enemy! [One-Eyed Dragon] didn't even react the entire time. This was a carefully designed trap.

His face was blank, and he fell to the ground with a thump.

Byron saw through the [Ship's Log] that his history had completely come to an end, and then he called Gus forward.

“This is the sixth attendant. I have gathered all the materials for the wine-making ceremony.

How is your Ascension Ceremony going?"

Obviously, Byron is the "Wild Hunt" who has recently become famous in Anchor Bay!
Moreover, [Wild Hunt] originally represents a group of hunters.

When he hunted privateer pirates, he never acted alone, but with Guts who was preparing to take up the post of [Phantom Blade].

After all, Byron is now a pirate captain who has built a team based on his dreams, not a lonely ranger.

Why fight alone when you have thugs available?
Byron believed that accepting Gus, a local tyrant with extensive connections, was the wisest decision he had made.

Whether it is intelligence support, the silent amulet or his own abilities, they are all impeccable.

“There is no problem with spiritual awakening and prior knowledge.

It’s just that maybe it’s because my presence is naturally too low, so the series of [Ritual: The Phantom Killer’s Serial Murders] has to continue.

If it only targets first-level servants, the six-ring chain is obviously not enough.

It will probably take eight or ten consecutive rings to gain enough presence and re-anchor the [Silver Law]. "

Gus scratched his hair in annoyance.

The [Phantom Blade] that he was about to take over was indeed a superior profession to the assassin. Even with Byron's help to beat the opponent to low health first and then let him finish off the opponent, the ceremony was extremely difficult to progress.

[Phantom Blade] The core ability of the second-level professional level is called: Phantom Blade.

You can control visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, and ultimately your sense of existence.

Imagine a musket out of thin air, give it a sense of existence, and you can really use it to kill people.

Imagine that you have a varying number of phantom limbs, and you can use them to wield a sword easily.
The promotion ceremony [The Phantom Killer's Serial Murders] is deliberately mysterious, like a magic trick, in which the person is killed without knowing the reason.

Only in this way can you kill the target and take away some of his sense of existence at the same time.

Not only can it strengthen itself, but even if the victim's body is thrown on the street, no one will be able to find it.

And Byron's [Cognitive Correction] is enough to allow him to guest star as a mysterious killer with ever-changing skills.

Even though the upper limit of the disguised object can only be the same level, it is almost impossible to be seen through by [Clairvoyance] under the protection of [Storm Signet Ring].

Just now, the two of them cooperated with each other and achieved the effect of encountering a ghost.

When he heard three footsteps, Byron came behind the One-Eyed Man. With two footsteps, he had already killed one of his men, and Guts dragged the man away.

With a sound, the last minion was eliminated.

When the sound changed back to two, both of them were hanging behind the [One-eyed Dragon], and they also had the follow-up fatal attack!

Of course, the realization of this strange effect is also inseparable from the help of the Anchor Bay specialty [Whale Bone Amulet·Silence].

It is said that a series of whale bone amulets are the unique taboo knowledge of the North Sea Pirate King [Whale Hunter], and only the direct members of Anchor Bay are qualified to learn them.

There is no way to get contraband like the [Silent Amulet] that is specifically used to do bad things.

Without waiting for Byron's orders, the money-grubber Gus had already taken away all the valuables from the One-Eyed Dragon.

Even the leather jacket, brass buttons, eye mask, and even a bank deposit slip smelling of stinky salted fish hidden in the insole were not left out.

These are not money, but Gus's freedom and dignity, which must not be thrown on the ground casually!

Byron also reviewed the history of the One-Eyed Dragon and merged it with the history of the other souls who died under the sword.

"On the last day of October, all the pirate ships under the Hattings Privateering Alliance have arrived.

Today, the first day of November, a member of the Captains' Council convened a meeting of all privateering captains who were eligible to vote.

There will be a big move soon.”

[Secret: The Admiralty's Conspiracy, Historical Influence 20] The original decoding density was 18%, and it instantly jumped to 35%.

“It’s confirmed.

These guys are colluding with each other, are they finally going to take action?"

Byron shook his head and decided to do the most important thing first.

Let Gus step aside and be on guard.

He used the uncoagulated blood of the One-Eyed Dragon to draw a ritual array on the ground with a hexagram as the main body and many runes interwoven.

There are words in his mouth:

“Blood is power, blood is life, blood is the source, blood is everything.
Take the blood of the Lamb and put it on my heart, cleanse me, so that I can be whiter than snow
Take the blood of my enemies and put it on my hands to strengthen me so that I can be stronger than a bear."

This is the ritual for brewing [Transmutation Blood]: [Blood Holy Grail]!
