Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 493 Quasi-Level Zero Relic: Key of Omniscience

A week passed in the blink of an eye and it was already the end of October.

The cold wind has begun to howl in the north of the Old Continent, but the Bantaan Islands are still as warm as before.

And the sun is especially bright today.

In the Taiman Islands, the sparsely populated but exceptionally beautiful beach of Little Taiman Island.

Mr. Byron, the Emperor of the Holy Golden Empire [Lord of Heaven], the Pirate King [Uncrowned King], the [Wild Hunter], and the [Sea Hunter], was lying on a bench leisurely in the sun, wearing a pair of oversized beach pants without any image.

To protect her eyes from the sun's glare, she covered her face with a slightly golden paper book.

On the small table next to him were coconut milk, fruit juice, cocktails and various fruits, as well as a stack of wanted posters from various countries that had just been printed, and a copy of the Lighthouse Daily printed on bagasse paper.

However, no matter which country the new wanted poster came from, there was only one name on it: "The Uncrowned King, Byron Lancaster", and a handsome portrait that looked a little too young.

I don’t know where those [painters] in the palace sequence get their materials from.

Each one is painted in the exclusive style of king portraits popular on the mainland. In addition to being handsome, the portraits appear particularly heroic, extraordinary, and majestic.

And most importantly, the bounty amount that should have been included in each bounty order has disappeared without a trace.

Those friends at sea who are often on wanted list know what this situation means.

——At this time, Byron was no longer the fugitive wanted by everyone, but a rentier who was qualified to sit at the table and get a share of the pie from the rulers of various countries in a fair and open manner.

The status is no longer what it used to be.

Even when the overlords who ruled the sea wanted to use Byron's powerful weapon as an excuse to deal with him, he already had a powerful weapon that was enough to overturn the table.

In my territory, you can't accomplish anything as long as I oppose it!
This is the value of being outside the bounty list and not on the wanted list.

A breeze from the sea blew past, flipping open the newspaper on the table, revealing the contents of the front page:
"Does the hijacking of the Castile Kingdom's treasure fleet and the death of its king mean that the world's most powerful maritime nation has begun to decline? Who will win the crown?"

After fermenting for several days, the situation was also fueled by world-renowned newspapers such as the Lighthouse Daily.

The two pieces of news concerning a major change in the Kingdom of Castile have spread to the whole world like a tsunami.

From the Old World to the Bantaan Islands, and then to the South Continent which had only been developed a few months ago, countless people were talking about it.

The first news was that the former crown prince of the Lancaster dynasty of Hattings, Byron Lancaster, the "Wild Hunt", had accomplished a feat that no pirate had ever accomplished before.

He successfully plundered the treasure fleet and was crowned the Black Sail Pirate King, who did not yet have a crown.

This is also the root cause of the revision of wanted posters in various countries.

And after he seized the wealth accumulated by the entire ruling class of the world's number one maritime power in a year, he had undoubtedly become one of the few richest people in the world.

Coupled with the legendary nature of his life story, he instantly became popular.

The other [Sea Hunter] who was originally hailed as the "enemy of the past life" and "the twin pillars of the Bay People" was suddenly overshadowed.

Although the basis of the extraordinary power in this world is the gathering of people, it also particularly worships individual heroism.

Compared to the [Sea Hunter] that initially held back the Dream Castle, the [Wild Hunter] that upgraded before the battle and leaped to a higher level to kill the Puppet King was undoubtedly more dazzling.

With this trend, the ancient prophecy of [God of Kingship, Prophecy and Wild Hunt] Woden once again entered the sight of the continent's countries:

“In the Imperial Age, the Bay People were still chasing wild deer in the forests of the Evernight Peninsula. Hundreds of years later, they will be chasing the entire Silver Continent.

They conquered the continent by force, but were conquered by pagan beliefs. The glory of the Beidiwan people sank into the deepest part of the ocean.

But one day it will be reawakened by blood and fire!
My right eye will witness everything.”

[Wild Hunt] Byron Lancaster is not only the direct descendant of the Pirate Emperor [Blue Dragon King], but also the God King [God of the Wild Hunt] Woden from the earlier mythological era.

He was also given the title "Wild Hunt" and was elected as the new Pirate King. He embarked on the path that his ancestors once took and was regarded as the son of prophecy by most of the people in the bay.

Byron also gained countless admirers because of this.

Especially in many Gulf countries, countless people in sailors, pirates, fishermen, whalers and other sea-related industries regard Byron as an idol.

For a while, even the "Wanted Poster" with his portrait on it saw a surge in price, allowing many printers to make a small profit.

Just as Edward IV had expected.

Although it is now near the end of the year, many young people from the five northern countries, namely the Kingdom of Hastings, Iron Bay, the three countries of the Kalmar Union, Aalborg, Gothenburg, and Oslo, have resolutely boarded ocean-going sailing ships and plan to go to the Bahamas to join the "Uncrowned King".

Of course, everything has its pros and cons.

First, the "Queen of Eternal Night" Margaret I, who ruled the Kalmar Union, as a staunch believer in church traditionalism, strongly refuted the prophecy:

“The pirate nation is a thing of the past. We, the people of the Bay, are now the people of the Creator. All glory belongs to the Creator. The church is not a pagan religion, but the stubborn Woden faith is!

I hereby order, with the authority of the 'plenipotentiary ruler' of the Three Kingdoms [Queen of Eternal Night], the promulgation of the "Anti-Creator Consciousness Act" from today.

No one is allowed to mention the prophecy of the Wild Hunt God Woden, even if they think about it, it is a sin! "

Moreover, several particularly high-profile Taiwan revivalists in the three countries were dealt with harshly at the first opportunity, suppressing this "evil trend" at the official level.

Unfortunately, even though the [Queen of Eternal Night] established the huge Kalmar Alliance when she was young, she is a real [King].

Now he is already an old man in his 60s.

Her only grandson is sick and weak, and there is no guarantee that he will inherit her throne in the future. Her royal power and deterrent power are no longer what they used to be.

Even if the bill was passed at the speed of light, there was still an endless stream of people from the three countries secretly crossing the sea to join Byron.

The attitudes of the traditional church faction and the Queen of Eternal Night are similar.

It can be imagined that once the Wild Hunt returns to the Old World and enters the core parish of the traditionalists, it will definitely be "warmly welcomed" by the Judge Knights and even the Demon Hunters.

The second piece of news was that the day after the treasure fleet was looted, the Kingdom of Castile completely changed.

[Incompetent] Henry IV died suddenly after declaring Princess Isabella a traitor, and the legal network was broken.

Immediately, with the support of the Puppet King, Princess Juana, who was only ten years old, proclaimed herself king in the Palace of the Immaculate Conception in the royal capital, Burgos, and appointed her "uncle" Puppet King Louis as regent.

Her biological mother, Queen Joana, returned in force and moved into the palace with her, taking over the scepter on behalf of the queen.

But there are rumors that the Puppet King seemed to have some conflict with the new queen's biological mother, who was also his former sister-in-law.

After a fierce quarrel broke out in the inner court, he immediately ordered the execution of court nobles Beltran, Duke of Albuquerque, Bishop Fonseca's nephew, five or six attendants and seven or eight palace guards.

These unfortunate guys have nothing in common except that they are all male, strong and have served in the palace for more than ten years.

It couldn't help but cause panic among the people.

Many people felt that the regent, who actually controlled the royal power, was taking the opportunity to establish his authority and killing people at will, for fear that they would accidentally offend him.

But within the borders of Castile, the Puppet King cannot cover the sky with one hand.

Because the eldest princess Isabella the Innocent, with the support of another group of nobles, came to the important city of Segovia in the kingdom and was also crowned and declared to the outside world as Queen Isabella I.

At the same time, she quickly married her cousin, King Ferdinand II of Aragon, forming a two-king alliance with highly tied interests.

It is particularly worth mentioning that at that time the Kingdom of Aragon was the overlord of the Eastern Sea.

The sphere of influence extends from Catalonia westward to Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Naples in the Inner Mediterranean, and even the frontline island of Malta. It has both people and money.

Thus, the war for the throne between the two queens of Castile broke out simultaneously on land and sea.

The scene was much bigger than the war for the throne of the Kingdom of Hastings.

The situation on the sea suddenly became turbulent.

Wow.
The wind blew up a few golden pages of the paper book on Byron's face, and some content similar to that of the sugarcane residue newspaper appeared on the pages, and then disappeared again, turning into a book without words.

Byron reached out and took it off his face, then looked at the name "Key to Omniscience" displayed on the cover of the bagasse paper book and shook his head:
“Although this relic has the same name as the public library in the Silver Law, it is still far from omniscience.

I don’t know when I will be able to truly be omniscient and omnipotent.”

The bagasse paper mill built under the supervision of Catherine officially started operation more than a month ago, and the cheap paper made using bagasse papermaking technology has long been on sale.

When she bound the book with the first batch of bagasse paper she produced, it triggered a reaction from the [Silver Law].

It gave paper, which normally has a shelf life of about 200 years, the property of "immortality" and transformed it into a new holy relic.

[First-level Holy Relic: Key of Omniscience] (unfinished product):
“Paper itself exists as a carrier of civilization. Only by spreading and recording valuable knowledge can it trigger further transformation.

Through this book, you can see all the information in the world written on bagasse paper.

That is, all knowledge generated by the spread of bagasse paper can be obtained free of charge.

However, only a little over a month had passed since the birth of bagasse paper, and the first batch of paper had just arrived in the Old World and began to spread.

Only after it continues to ferment for a while will it be possible for it to transform into a complete form, or even be promoted to a level zero relic.

Based on the trend of human development, it will definitely be able to complete the upgrade in the foreseeable future, and it is not an exaggeration to call it quasi-level zero.

Currently, you can only use the basic ability [Four Possibilities in the Book]."

Byron disliked the original name of "Four Haves" because it did not suit the temperament of a cultured person, so he used an allusion from another world to give this ability a more appropriate name that is simple, direct and clear at a glance.

"1. There is a thousand bushels of grain in the book:

Because the raw material of bagasse paper is sugarcane, just knocking on the cover every day will automatically condense one thousand kilograms of ordinary white sugar, or an extraordinary candy that can condense the light of wisdom and enhance spirituality and mental realm.

With it in hand, not only will you never starve to death, but you will also become smarter and smarter. "

In his previous life, Byron had heard that scientists had developed a technology that could directly convert carbon dioxide into starch, which meant that people could survive by just drinking northwest wind. He guessed that this should be the same principle.

“Second, there is a golden house in the book:

You can summon a villa with multiple bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, swimming pools, fireplaces and other functional facilities, and modify the internal space structure and functional facilities at will. "

"Third, there are many horses in the book:

Summoning a fleet of wagons with large interior spaces is absolutely useful for transporting stolen goods, loot, and bulk cargo.

It can be used for large-scale long-distance transportation. Mountains, rivers, deserts, and seas cannot stop them. With this function, it is not difficult for them to play the role of "sea coachman".

It happened to be the end of October, and Byron had handed over the transactions related to the Southern Continent to this group of "Sea Coachmen", which had already set off for the Southern Continent.

“Fourth, there is Venus in books:

You can create a stunning beauty out of thin air according to your own aesthetic preferences, customize her appearance, measurements, body data and even personality, intelligence and skills. She can be said to be a soul mate with 100% satisfaction.

This can be reset every month.”

Everything else is fine, but Byron doesn't get to enjoy ability four.

When she was just born, Catherine made her a cool and beautiful confidential secretary, helped her to improve her internal affairs ability, and sent her to preside over the administrative reform of the Golden Empire.

These [four abilities in the book] are just the tip of the iceberg.

As the knowledge and truth recorded in the [Relic: Key of Omniscience] continue to increase, the power of this relic will continue to upgrade.

"I'll have to wait a little longer for my new title, but it shouldn't be long before I can add another spot for ability level 4."

Snapped!
At this moment, a water ball flew from a distance and hit Byron's face accurately, bringing him back to his senses instantly.

Looking up, he saw two beautiful girls in cool swimsuits waving at him on the white beach. They were his two queens, Catherine and Violet.

In the bright sunshine, the two beauties are radiant from head to toe.

After being promoted to mythical creatures, each of them has a perfect figure and physique. The red and white spider silk swimsuits they wear are very bold, and their function as interest is greater than that of clothing.

The delicate belly button and the shallow dimples on the waist are all visible.

Her skin was so white and smooth that it was dazzling, her legs were long and round like jade pillars, and the bare feet stepping in the sea had one toe painted rose red and the other painted sapphire blue, like a work of art crafted by nature.

Scientific research shows that men who look at beautiful women every day are more likely to live longer.

Byron felt that not to mention being able to play together, even just being able to take a look at these two beauties every day would make him happy and live for several more years.

"Byron, when you're out having fun, stop thinking about work. Come and have a water fight with us."

"Yes, if you win I'll give you a new swimsuit."

During this period, they received unprecedented and sufficient financial support.

In the Torrent Fortress presided over by Violet, all factory areas are running at full capacity to speed up production. Large Garen has begun to be modified and new production lines have been put into operation in batches.

The city is also expanding, new factories are springing up, and large-scale infrastructure construction is in full swing.

Catherine used her new title ability [Invisible Hand] to maneuver in the stock market, like the God of Stocks, invincible.

Byron was busy reorganizing the pirates in Black Sail Harbor.

Today is finally the weekend for the three of us to be together, and it's a rare opportunity to come out and relax.

Byron used the "border maze" to close off a large area of ​​beach and sea within dozens of kilometers on Little Taiman Island, which served as their exclusive playground.

Seeing Byron looking at her, Violet immediately bent down, grabbed the waves under her feet and shook them hard.

The entire sea surface was lifted up like a blanket, turning into several-meter-high waves that rushed towards him fiercely.

"Hiss! Is this how you guys have a water fight?"

Byron let out a strange cry and quickly opened his mouth to blow out a beam of white light.

Stab it--!
[Storm Aura] instantly connected with the atmosphere and transformed into a forty-meter-long, sharp, blazing white sword energy. The moment it got close to the wave, it split the sword in half.

Catherine's attack followed closely behind, using the pure-blooded dragon's [Charm Monster] ability to control a group of ichthyosaurs in the sea, spraying a large amount of high-speed water at him.

call out!call out!call out!
Just listen to the piercing sound of breaking through the air and you will know that if hit by this thing, even rock will be pierced with a deep hole.

Byron immediately jumped up with his feet on the ground, and a big hole was blasted out on the beach by his powerful physical strength.

While dodging the water gun, he suddenly pounced on his two sisters who were running away from him several dozen meters away, laughing sweetly like silver bells.

This family may be playing a “game”, but looking at the destructive power of their random attacks, it is clear that there is nothing human about them other than their appearance and self-identity.

Then a cloud of water mist exploded and the nearby sea surface shook violently.

The two girls screamed one after another:

"Didn't we agree to use a water gun? The gun you're using is wrong."

"Ouch, it went off, it went off, spare me."

The original sounds of fighting gradually became more charming.

In the end, the "water fight" inevitably turned into another kind of fight.

It was not until the sun set and a bright sunset glow appeared in the sky that they thought the clouds had cleared and the rain had stopped.

The original clothes were no longer wearable, so the king and two queens changed their clothes and sat on a bench on the beach to admire the sunset.

Byron sat in the middle with his arms and legs stretched out, and two rosy-cheeked girls sat on his thighs, one on the left and one on the right, leaning lazily in his broad and thick arms, not wanting to move even a finger.

Byron took out the extraordinary candy that was condensed by the [Key of Omniscience] today.

Violet ate the candy happily for a while with her cheeks puffed out, then kissed Catherine's little mouth and put the candy into her mouth.

Now that Catherine has been trained for a long time, she is no longer as restrained as she was at the beginning. The two of them have been competing to eat other more embarrassing things, and now they are just eating candy.

Catherine ate for a while, then pursed her red lips and put it into Byron's mouth.

"Well, today's candy is randomly blueberry flavored, but no matter how sweet the candy is, it can't be as sweet as the lips of my two sisters."

These two girls were delighted by this sentence, and they looked up at the same time and gave him a kiss.

The three people in love sweetly ate a piece of extraordinary candy and immediately felt full of strength. They could continue to fight for another 300 rounds that night.

The spirituality has also become much more lively, especially the two girls are one step closer to awakening [Divine Vision], and the day of breakthrough is not far away.

At this time, Byron embraced the slender and smooth waists of his two sisters and suddenly said:

"Oh, by the way, sister, miss, before the church truly splits, we cannot openly hold a mass wedding and attract attacks from traditionalists.

How about holding an engagement ceremony under the identities of [Wild Hunt] and [Sea Hunter] some other day?
When something happens to the church, they will no longer have the energy to take care of us.

When the time comes, the two identities will be combined into one, and we can establish a royal state religion and become the Pope ourselves, and we won't have to look at their opinions anymore.

The last time I saw Oliver, the Holy Hammer, I felt that this time point should be approaching."

Catherine naturally had no objection, and said softly with her cheek against his chest:
"Well, it's all up to you."

Her parents died early, and the remaining relatives only had business dealings with her and had no control over her.

Violet beside him blinked her blue eyes and said:

"I have no objection, but you need to be careful in advance when holding the ceremony.

Don't accidentally get on the wrong carriage and send the [Mithril Dragon] to the [Wild Hunt]'s bed, or the [War Witch] to the [Sea Hunter]'s bed.

I don’t mind it, but if other people see it, it will become international news that will shock the world.”

Thinking of that scene, the three of them couldn't help but laugh for a while.

Catherine suddenly remembered something and asked Violet:

"By the way, I've never heard you talk about your mother or your mother's clan.

Don't you need to inform them about getting married?"

Violet spread her hands and picked up the Lighthouse Daily. She pointed at the page that said that the Kalmar Union's [Queen of Eternal Night] Margaret I had issued the Anti-Creator Consciousness Act.
"My mother's name is Vanessa Magnus. When I was born, I was already a fourth-level [War Witch].
Look, it’s right here.

Do you think there is any need to say more to this old woman?"

"Kalma Union?!"

It was the first time that Catherine knew that she had such a relationship with the three countries of the Kalmar Union. She couldn't help but be surprised:
"Your mother's last name is also Magnus. Could she be the daughter of [Queen of Eternal Night] Margaret and the former King of Gothenburg, Haakon VI Magnus?
How come I haven’t heard of such a big thing before?”

As soon as I asked the question, I immediately reacted.

In an extremely conservative royal family of traditionalists, there is a mythical creature like Vanessa Magnus who takes the forbidden route. Keeping her in a low profile is probably just the most basic operation.

I’m afraid that Violet’s parents’ marriage did not receive the blessing of their maternal family, and it is unknown how many twists and turns they went through in between.

Even the fact that her mother Vanessa, a mythical creature, died young may have many inside stories that are unknown to outsiders.

In fact, Violet herself didn't know what happened that year.

All I know is that my mother went home alone once to visit her grandmother [Queen of Eternal Night] Margaret I and never came back again. I instinctively concluded that there must be something wrong.

He threw the newspaper aside and spoke of his grandmother in a low mood:
“Although I don’t know what happened at the time.

But I have absolutely no good feelings towards that old woman.

She is indifferent to family affection and obsessed with power. She wants to reintegrate all the northern Gulf nations and upgrade her own title to [Queen of the North] (Chapter 179).

I heard that my short-lived uncle's only cousin has been weak and sickly since birth, and may not have a chance to inherit the throne of the Kalmar Union.

Let her live out her life alone with her crown."

After listening to Violet's story, Byron didn't say much. He just stroked the girl's back and kissed her forehead gently to comfort her:
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. I'll use the power of the Wild Hunt King to go to Valhalla in a while.

Queen Vanessa should be sleeping there like my mother.

Bring them all back if possible."

Seeing that it was getting late, Byron was about to take the two girls who were about to become his fiancées home.

But he paused, and suddenly received a message from Archbishop of Jamestown [Sister of Mercy] Teresa, and his eyes lit up instantly:
"There's news about my aunt and the others who were imprisoned in the Malta Convent!"
