Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 498 Engagement and Reentering Valhalla
A few days later, in the Old Continent, in the North Sea.

A brilliant golden light split the waves and flew across the sea. It was at the end of the southern vision the moment before, and disappeared at the junction of the sky and the sea in the north the next moment.

What’s even more amazing is that there is no crew member to be seen on this huge golden warship. There is only a steering wheel that rotates automatically as if controlled by an invisible hand, and sails that are raised and lowered.

It seems to have achieved the highest level of autonomous driving. Even if a whale suddenly jumps out ten meters ahead, it will definitely not rear-end it.

Obviously, this is the Golden Deer that has become the target of Byron's Dragon Taming Technique.

For it, "as if at the fingertips of one's own arm" is no longer a simple adjective, but has truly become an extension of Byron's hands and feet.

When [Blessing of the Deep Sea] is activated in the cruiser form, the relic sail can not only use the power of the wind, but also the ocean currents and source tides to make full use of every bit of energy flowing around it.

The more the future material world slides toward the "intertidal zone", the faster the ship will travel.

With the help of the almost ubiquitous world cracks and the sea of ​​source, it is also possible to take a "shortcut" of thousands of miles in an instant.

If Byron had not been so busy recently, it would not have been a problem for him to use this ship to complete the "first circumnavigation of the world" during the Age of Discovery.

Besides, the ship wasn't really empty.

"Wow—!"

A high-pitched eagle cry resounded through the sky, and a siren with silver hair, a human face, and an eagle body penetrated the sea of ​​clouds in the sky, carrying a streak of white cloud and falling towards the Golden Deer.

However, it did not fall on the cruiser sailing in the material world, but fell on the superposition state third-level battleship reflected in the water.

The Siren stood on the main mast, on the topsail boom, nearly fifty meters above the water. She fluttered off the water droplets on her body and transformed back into Violet’s human form.

There was no one else on the deck except Byron, who was leisurely lying on a beach chair reading the forbidden book "The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven", and the girl was dressed very simply.

She was wearing only a snow-white lace halter dress, revealing her soft swan neck and white shoulders, and she was standing on the mast with bare feet.

A bright blue ribbon is tied around the slender ankle, and when it dances in the wind, it looks like an elf in the wind.

[Witch of Disaster] As a mythical creature of the Leviathan series, the Rift Whale, she cannot live without water most of the time. After leaving the marine environment, she has to take a bath three times a day.

Once you stay on land for too long, you will gradually become weaker and may even die of thirst.

Just like most fish must live in water, this is their biological habit, and even a [panacea] cannot change this.

Fortunately, the sea of ​​clouds in the sky is also a sea. Whether in the sky or in the sea, Violet, who has already unlocked the biosphere of marine monsters, can always maintain her peak state.

The girl saw that the raindrops she had deliberately dropped were blown away by the wind around Byron. He didn't even raise his head and continued reading. She couldn't help but pinched her slender waist and shouted:
"Hey, fiancé!"

Byron then looked up, and with a smile in his eyes he responded:
"What's wrong, my beautiful and lovely fiancée?"

Yesterday, the three of them held engagement ceremonies at International Port and Black Sail Port respectively, announcing their relationship to the outside world.

There was no accident of getting on the wrong carriage.

But it is true that [Wild Hunt], [War Witch], [Sea Hunter], and [Mithril Dragon] all slept in the same bed at night.

According to the tradition of the Old World, engagement is, in a sense, a more important social contract than a wedding. The ceremony may not be grand, but it has extraordinary significance in reality and mysticism.

From this moment on, the combination of the three is no longer just their own personal matter, but also means the complete consolidation of their respective forces, territories, and properties.

In fact, for most aristocratic families, ensuring the orderly inheritance of territory and property is the top priority, and the so-called feelings are just an optional embellishment.

It was an incredible luxury for noble girls to marry for love, which also led to the custom on the continent that after nobles gave birth to heirs after marriage, the couple would not interfere with each other.

It is not uncommon for each of them to have a large number of lovers.

The three of them were undoubtedly lucky enough. The two girls married for love, Byron found his childhood sweetheart and did not miss the love that fell from the sky. Their lives were perfect.

Even if one day in the future I encounter the terrifying [Social Clock] again, I will be completely helpless against it.

Thanks to the evil feudal society!
Their relationship became closer, and today Violet went back to Anchor Bay with Byron alone to do some work, so she was naturally in a particularly good mood.

She smiled charmingly at Byron's doting gaze and shook the sapphire engagement ring on her left middle finger at him.

Then she lifted the hem of her skirt and danced gracefully on her crystal clear toes like gems.

This top student from the Vienna Academy of Arts dances in a sometimes unrestrained and sometimes graceful manner, and her appearance and clothing change as she dances.

Sometimes she is a barefoot girl next door in a white dress; sometimes she is a Kimpsai dancer in a fiery red gauze skirt with jingling silver bells; sometimes she is a beautiful and dangerous indigenous female warrior like a female leopard; sometimes she is a cold and beautiful queen in a gorgeous dress, inviolable
After becoming a mythical creature, Violet has eliminated the need for storage artifacts thanks to her ability to manipulate spatial rifts, and now has her own pocket space that she can use to change outfits with a single click.

There are many different kinds of beautiful appearances, but interesting souls are rare to find, and Violet has them all.

Being in love with her is like being in love for the first time every day.

It is not inferior to "Venus in Books", one of the four abilities of the [Key of Omniscience], and most importantly, Byron can use it at will.

After a passionate dance, Violet saw Byron’s increasingly passionate gaze, and a wicked smile suddenly appeared at the corners of her cherry-colored lips. She turned her head and suddenly turned into her best friend Catherine.

Still wearing a thin maid skirt, two round long legs, white stockings on the left and black stockings on the right.

Just as Byron felt his nose getting hot and cursed inwardly, "The little witch is trying to kill me," she jumped from the mast and fell into his arms like a light feather.

Byron also quickly opened his arms and caught his "sister" steadily.

The charming "Catherine" hugged her neck and whispered in her ear, her hoarse voice scratching her heart and lungs like a cat:
"Master, before the Golden Deer arrives at Anchor Bay, I will be your maid. I can satisfy any order you give me, hahahaha."

Byron said he couldn't stand it.

Normally, Catherine would never be allowed to play this kind of role-playing game, but Violet has always been unbridled, and she has let herself go even more after getting engaged.

As the eldest sister, she was determined to get pregnant before Catherine, who was two years younger than her.

Byron is not an incompetent person. As a normal man with a body better than that of a monster, how could he resist such temptation?

Violet was a quirky witch, and he was also a night demon prince. He pecked the girl’s lips gently without showing any weakness:
“Very good, very energetic!

We have been practicing rope skills before, so let’s practice artillery skills today.”

As he said this, he placed Violet on a 42-pound carronade that was crouching on the deck like a monster.

"Huh? Huh? Huh?.
Immediately, there was a blast of artillery fire from the Golden Deer, with a rumbling sound.

For a moment, even the road was quiet. Even the sea was silent.

There is no doubt that the "Man in the Iron Mask"'s vision of the future is indeed amazing.

Ever since the two of them confirmed their relationship, Miss Violet has indeed not had a single "peaceful" day.

But is this kind of life unlucky or not?

Look at the girl's eyes which are so charming that they are about to drip with tears. It is obvious that she is enjoying it and feels like a fish in water.

After all, “clouds and rain” are also rain.

Moreover, [War Witch] seems to be particularly compatible with "artillery battle". In this state, Violet's spiritual realm progresses rapidly, and she is only one step away from the realm of [Divine Vision].

She should soon touch upon the "Holy Descent" and awaken her "God of Self".

Because Violet's obsession remains the same:

"When you are poor, you use tactical interspersal; when you are rich, you use carpet bombing; caliber is justice, range is truth; salvo is romance, explosion is art.

Pursue truth! Protect justice! Create art! Love nuclear peace! "

Ever since she derived the mass-energy equation, this has become the perfect summary of her extraordinary path.

The sweet and fierce artillery battle continued until the Golden Deer automatically approached the waters of Anchor Bay, and it finally came to an end.

Byron personally helped the girl clean her body and change her clothes. He pinched her crystal clear little feet, which still had a few light pink kiss marks on them, and helped her put on her high heels.

The young engaged couple smiled sweetly at each other and jumped onto the bow hand in hand.

After being nourished by Byron, this human-shaped tonic, Violet not only did not look tired, but was full of energy, and the ends of her silver hair were shining brightly.

Instead of mobilizing a large number of troops to ask the people who stayed behind in Anchor Bay to welcome them, he simply raised his hand to activate the inheritance seal ring on his hand.

call--!
The spiritual wind blew, and the Golden Deer instantly disappeared on the sea.

When it reappeared, it had already landed in another sea.

The wind whistled in my ears, mixed with a chilly chill and the stale smell accumulated over the years. It was clearly a lifeless world of the dead.

The Golden Deer was surrounded by a barren island without any greenery and a large area of ​​dark sea water.

As far as the eye can see, the only man-made object is the black boat-shaped coffin stranded on the deserted island.

Looking up at the sky, a huge iron anchor chain that seems thicker than the mountain rises from the dark and gloomy sea and extends to the depths of the clouds in the sky.

Obviously, this is the location of the legendary secret treasure of the Wan people.

Anchored firmly by a giant iron anchor, the resting place of all traditional northerners - [Hall of Valor, Valhalla]!
Because the traditional people of Anchor Bay have always firmly believed in Woden, the God of Prophecy, Kingship, and the Wild Hunt.

After death, one will not return to the Creator's heaven, the edge of the world, or the chaotic sea of ​​primordial substance, but will come to this ancient region between the material reality and the spiritual world, which has been passed down from the mythological era to the present day.

If the astral body travels, it will explore the ocean of humanity's collective subconscious.

You will find that Valhalla, where the people of the Bay sleep, is an independent island, isolated from the old continent that completely belongs to the Creator.

Therefore, it has always been regarded as a thorn in the eye of the traditional church. Of course, in the eyes of a small number of cardinals who are eligible to compete for sainthood, it is also a huge piece of fat meat.

Once these stubborn elements can be completely converted to the Creator's feet, the merits they gain will be enough for them to inherit the position of a saint.

[Valhalla] is even more meaningful to Byron and Violet.

This was the first time that the "Orphan Alliance" fought side by side and killed the great pirate Edward Redbeard together. It was also the beginning of their bond.

It will also be the foundation for them to ascend to the throne of God in the future.

Byron, who revisited his old place, looked at this vast yet desolate world and could not help but sigh:
“The essence of God no longer has any distinction between the material and the spiritual, and can live freely in the material world or the spiritual world.

In the mythological era, the gods of the Bay people most likely lived here, with many fifth-level subordinate gods and sixth-level demigods guarding the God King Woden together.

Now, a thousand years later, there is no longer the God King who disappeared in Ragnarok, no more endless pork, and no more beautiful fairies in mink coats peeling garlic for the soldiers.

There are only the heroic spirits of the Taiwanese people who have been sleeping for countless years.

According to the general rule, the higher the rank in life, the deeper one will sleep in the Hall of Heroes after death. I hope we can successfully find our mother this time."

According to the previous plan, this time they are going to rescue Byron's mother, the Little Mermaid Hathaway, and Violet's mother, Vanessa, who is also a "Witch of Disaster".

It would be great if we could use the authority of the [King of the Wild Hunt] to discover the secret of the revival of the Bay People.

call out!call out!call out!
As soon as Byron finished speaking, countless flying axes and stones from the Bay people suddenly flew over and hit the Golden Deer like raindrops.

However, a large group of Bay People's heroes quietly gathered around.

They wore horned helmets, simple armor, dirty long hair and beards, and exuded a tyrannical and brutal aura.

A pair of blue eyes, standard for Taiwanese people, appeared under the helmet.

In the ancient legends passed down from generation to generation, Valhalla is composed of countless ship coffins from ancient times to the present, and is itself a large ship that can set sail at any time.

Countless souls of the dead and heroes of the Bay wander around inside.

They kill each other endlessly and will be resurrected the next day, as if an obsession was implanted in them at the moment of death to prepare for a battle in the future.

However, as the "Border Maze" automatically unfolded, these weak attacks were instantly blocked out.

Obviously, when they revisited the old place today, Byron and Violet were no longer the same people they used to be.

This is the first level of Valhalla, "Hellworld".

Rules: You can go to the second floor after getting three relics and burial objects of heroes.

Snapped!
Violet snapped her fingers, and six vicious "Gun Spirits" immediately possessed bolt-action rifles and rushed out, easily snatching a handful of relics from a nearby coffin.

The passage to the "atrium" on the second floor was opened, and the Golden Deer sailed in calmly.

Rules: Defeat a "collective ship coffin" and seize the navigator's [whale oil lantern], which will guide you into the third level "Kingdom of Night".

The [Golden Deer] rushed all the way, and even the first galleon of the Holy Relic Battleship [Niucheng] was defeated by it. All the ship coffins of the old era were no match for it.

It was also the first time I stepped into the third floor.

The sea in the "Kingdom of Night" is calm and peaceful, with only the ship coffins falling into eternal sleep.

This is a real place of sleeping. Once you enter here, you will feel extremely sleepy, but once you fall asleep, you will never wake up again.

You must use strong willpower to suppress your sleepiness and find the entrance to the next level before falling asleep.

It's essentially the same as a pirate's limited-time treasure hunt puzzle.

Byron immediately took out his [Compass of Desire], thinking of finding his mother Hathaway. The compass immediately led them through the fog and found the right direction.

The fourth layer, "Niflheim", also known as the "Land of Mist", is a world composed of darkness, fog, and ice and snow.

Here is the boundary between the ocean and the land. In order to resist the source tide, the deeper collective subconscious subject has turned into a huge island.

Byron and Violet can only move on if they abandon ship.

Here, Byron activated the titles of [Sea Hunter] and [Wild Hunt] for the first time at the same time.

An [Eight-Legged Pegasus] appeared under his crotch, [Gungnir, the Sure-Hit Gun] was in his hand, and he was wearing a full set of [Wild Hunt King] weapons, with a large number of Wild Hunt Legion following closely behind him.

It is so majestic that it resonates with the entire Valhalla, almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

He reached out and held Violet in his arms, and each of them put on their own divine masks, transforming into the [God King] and [Queen of Heaven] of the people of Taiwan.

He led a large army and galloped towards the destination, and suddenly he had a bit of the might of the wild hunters in the mythological era.

Rumble.
The entire Valhalla was shaking slightly. Every tree, every snowflake, and every stone was calling their names.

"God King, Byron!"

"Diva, Violet!"

However, their extremely high status does not mean that they will have a smooth journey ahead.

The mythology of the Wan people is characterized by binary opposition, with light and darkness always fighting, even in the world of death.

The fifth layer, "Muspelheim", is called the Land of Fire, with red flames, orange magma, yellow desert and black smoke.

It is also filled with various cruel and powerful creatures: fire giants, fire dragons, fire birds, and fire lizards.

Facing them, Byron blew the [Storm Horn] without hesitation, and the eight battery brothers who had once torn the Puppet King into eight pieces appeared again with the storm.

Like a battery, they connected end to end to form a bright ring, and also turned the area around Byron and Violet into a huge electric field.

In the electric field, a unique killing rule for "high voltage electricity" was born:
“When a high voltage source, such as a high voltage wire, falls to the ground, it forms a concentric circle that spreads outward from the point of impact, usually with a maximum radius of about 20 meters.

The potential difference of each concentric circle is different, and the voltage of the concentric circle closer to the center is higher.

Once there is a distance difference between a person's two feet, the current will flow into the human body from the higher concentric circle and then flow out from the lower concentric circle, forming a step voltage, which can cause death.

In other words, the bigger the step, the higher the voltage, and the greater the danger!
Be sure to observe the taboos:

1. You must not run within this range. If you take a step, you will be doomed.
Second, you can save your life by jumping out of the electric field with your feet together or with one foot alone. "

How could brainless fire giants and salamanders understand this?
The rain and high-voltage electric field immediately created a fatal force, allowing them to advance all the way through the next few levels of space.

The sixth layer "Jotunheim" is also called the Ice Kingdom, which is the world of ice giants.

The seventh layer, "Alfheim", is the kingdom of nature elves, the largest of which are storm elves and light elves. There are even many elemental creatures, thunderbirds, that are rarely seen in the outside world.

When we got here, the environment was obviously much better than the outside, and it already had a bit of the flavor of a divine fairyland.

The hostility of the indigenous people towards them was also greatly reduced, and even the Thunderbirds took the initiative to come and provide escort.

The eighth layer, "Vanaheim", is a world full of nature and vitality, with green meadows, gardens full of flowers, orchards full of fruits, and clear rivers.

There are also golden and silver buildings, magnificent palaces and colorful thrones.

Two people riding on horses could directly see the deepest ninth floor, which is the Golden Palace "Grazheim", from the eighth floor.

That is the Hall of the Gods, Light, Glory, and Wisdom!
It was a world full of glory and justice, with golden walls, bronze gates, green lawns, and white clouds.

According to legend, this is the core of the Wanmin pantheon, and the Wanmin's great secret treasure is hidden inside.

Unfortunately, the two were blocked outside the ninth floor. Even with the help of the divine masks of [God King] Woden and [Queen] Frigga, they could not get in.

Unless one reaches the fifth level of a subordinate god, he cannot even be given the title of "King".

After all, there is a deep gap between the fourth and fifth levels.

Otherwise, in history, Jack Harold, the North Sea Pirate King and the Whale Hunter, would not be the only one who had solved this secret.

There is a fifth-level pirate king in every generation, and he is the only fifth-level pseudo-god who can achieve immortality. He is also the only living god in the current Bay People's pantheon.

Although they missed the "great secret treasure", they did not feel too disappointed.

Because the initial purpose has been achieved.

"Byron, I found it, look over there."

Byron followed the direction of Violet's finger and saw a dilapidated ship of indescribable size projected like a mirage in a small blue lake nearby.

The style of painting is incompatible with this space.

They didn't find it strange.

Because after a person dies, the individual's consciousness and subconscious islands will gradually be assimilated into the collective subconscious.

Many extraordinary people in the Tower Sequence can also travel through the collective subconscious of mankind and absorb the ancient knowledge left by their predecessors. Obviously, this big ship is someone's memory.

At the top of the mirage, in the midst of raging waves, a large square wooden ship, like a giant reef, was stranded on a small island.

Beneath the sea are colorful coral reefs and spectacular underwater cities. Many beautiful mermaids swim around, making it seem like a mermaid kingdom.

And all these scattered memories belong to the same dead soul.

A silver mermaid sleeping quietly in a crystal coffin!
