Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 58: No Martial Ethics, Octopus Silver Coin

Although [Storm Knight] must strictly abide by the motto: I am the vanguard!
Byron never did anything rash.

They only killed first-level servants at the beginning, which gave people the inherent impression that his rank was only that of a servant, causing the enemy to look down on him.

In the alliance, there is only one mid-sequence transcendent, Edward Redbeard.

Before each operation, Gus would sneak into the anchorage of the Privateering Alliance for a spin.

After determining the location of this great pirate and eliminating the biggest source of danger, although they will not actively hunt down the remaining second-level pirates, they will not be afraid either!
It's purely for risk control, I just feel that the second stage is not as economical as the first stage.

"I'll come back to kill you next time!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the [Spirit Behind] took the initiative to activate the power of the contract, floated into the air again, and was about to disappear into the void.

This guy still retains some humanity and wisdom, and knows how to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Not to mention that the [Wild Hunt], who was obviously supposed to be a first-level attendant, actually possessed a kind of forbidden knowledge that seemed to be extremely restraining to himself.

Even if you can't win in a short period of time, you won't lose.

The original situation was one against one, but now it has become one against three. If you don’t run away, are you just waiting to die?

"Stay!"

Bruch, who had been on high alert and staring at it, was faster than it and threw out a bottle of No. 2 holy water he got from the black market.

A white mist exploded in the field.

The holy water had no effect on the three living people, but the [spirit behind] was like it had fallen into concentrated sulfuric acid.

Stab it--!
The escape was also interrupted with a loud bang.

[Guardian Knight] cannot have any weaknesses. Any negligence may cause a loophole in the lord's defense, leading to unacceptable consequences.

There are different ways to deal with different types of enemies.

Generations of [Guardian Knights] in the kingdom have already worked together to write a complete training manual.

Just use abnormal level of execution and do it.

In a world dominated by supernatural powers, no one understands the supernatural better than the rulers.

This is how the regular army fights!
Growing up together and being almost inseparable, Byron and Bruch rushed up together with the water mist.

One of the physical swords, which were originally difficult to harm spirits, was burning with raging fire while the other was soaked in holy water.

"die!"

Byron started with the [Rooftop Sword Style], and then he made a desperate move with a terrifyingly lethal force, known as the "Old Man Chopping" Stride Strike.

It is said that a skilled swordsman, driven by rage, can cut through rock with one blow.

With the help of [Volcanic Eruption], Byron's sword moves seemed to have one-third of the legendary power.

The spirit behind him, who was already suffering from the corrosion of the holy water and was in a debuff state, was unable to dodge and had half of his left arm cut off by a sword.

On the other side, Bruch used ground skills, a roll and a rooftop spin, cutting off his right leg again.

Just at the moment when the [Ghost Behind] lost its balance and fell to the ground wailing.

Guts seized the opportunity and activated a [Whale Bone Amulet - Blood-sucking Leech].

Effect: You can give weapons special enchantments, one side absorbing other people's vitality, and the other side can heal yourself.

Finally, he succeeded in stabbing the dagger into the back of the [Spirit Behind]'s head and twisted it hard.

Immediately, the presence of a second-level Fallen was absorbed by him, and [Ritual: Serial Murders of the Phantom Killer] was instantly completed.

Guts also successfully became a first-level [Phantom Blade].

He became the third extraordinary person on the Golden Deer pirate ship after Byron and Bruch!
Combined with Byron's extremely practical forbidden knowledge, it can benefit all crew members.

Even if this kind of strength is placed in the group of privateering alliances, it can be ranked in the upper middle class.

No corpse was wasted.

Byron pointed the Blood Holy Grail Seal in his palm at the spirit behind him on the ground and uttered a simplified byte:
"fir!"

The body of the Fallen One suddenly disappeared in a scarlet light.

A cup of [Transmutation Blood] with an unprecedentedly strong aura was produced.

"Next, we have found the Blood Brew Angel's Kiss that will help the crew members awaken spiritually.

With the Privateer Alliance as our blood bank, my crew will surely have another round of explosive strength before the Golden Deer leaves Anchor Bay."

In fact, only by using the [Transmutation Blood] brewed by extraordinary people can one truly prepare extraordinary level blood brew.

All the ones Salman brewed before were defective.

Others who want spiritual awakening usually need to continue taking [Spiritual Awakening Potion] or use precious spices to assist meditation.

Among the hundreds of blood-brew recipes covering a wide range, there is one called "Angel's Kiss" that has a similar effect.

Ingredients: 5ml of second-level or above extraordinary transmutation blood, 15ml of dark cocoa liqueur, 30ml of fresh milk, and three drops of cherry juice.

As long as you are qualified and take it for a long time, you can greatly increase the probability of spiritual sublimation.

Of course, the side effects of various [blood brews] cannot be ignored.

Some blood brew can only be used by Byron himself, who has mastered forbidden knowledge. If given to others, it will become a complete poison.

Some blood brews, such as the recovery-type [Blue Blood Sweet Spring], have minimal side effects and can be used by everyone. Compared to the [Spiritual Awakening Potion] and spices that have no side effects, [Angel's Kiss] will make them yearn for motherly love on the day they drink it!

Imitation of maternal love is fine, but at least it has to be the kind that requires singing lullabies and patting the butt before the child can fall asleep.

Even though there were some shortcomings, the existence of Blood Brew did save Byron a lot of money.

This is the benefit of using your strength to snowball.

Kill enemies, brew blood brew, strengthen the strength of the group, and then hunt down more powerful enemies in turn to brew higher quality blood brew.

Repeat the cycle and successfully get on the fast track of positive growth.

Byron believed that it would not be long before the Wild Hunt team would consist of more than just the three of them.

After all, in the legend, the Wild Hunt was supposed to be a group.

Only the Lord of the Wild Hunt is unique.

At this time, the money-loving Gus, who had completed the breakthrough, quickly picked up the only piece of loot from where the spirit disappeared behind him.

A small silver coin.

Cast on it is a strange emblem that looks like an octopus, a squid, and even has a few human features.

The ferocious mouth in the center is open, and the two dark eyes that look like holes are captivating.

If you look at the eight twisted tentacles above, you will have the illusion that they are wriggling, which is extremely weird.

This is obviously a strange object, but
tentacle?

tentacle!

Before the money-grubber Gus could figure out whether the thing was worth money or not, Byron snatched it away at a faster speed.

I fell in love with it at first sight, and my saliva was almost watering as I looked at it.

[Tentacle Fetish] Activated!
The level of the strange object itself was not high, and I only consumed a small amount of spiritual power and used [Echoes of History] to successfully read its information.

"A rare silver coin forged from forbidden knowledge, part of a malevolent ritual.

Effect: Whenever a murder occurs within a 100-meter radius of the silver coin, the elements of the victim will be collected by it.

The most representative group identity label is presented to the sight of a mysterious and unknown existence.

In addition, because of the high degree of mystery of that existence, anyone carrying silver coins cannot be divined by divinations below the high sequence, nor can they be tracked by the law.

Note: This silver coin is only one of a set of rare items used for rituals.

[Secret: The Conspiracy of the Admiralty, Historical Influence 20] The decryption density was immediately increased from 56% to 70%.

The unlocking density of [Secret: Shadow of the Red and White Rose War, Historical Influence 31] has also been increased from 30% to 40%.

Byron's eyes lit up.

He and Gus had already heard from the sheriff that the Faceless Man and the Ripper were most likely the culprits of the recent disappearances of civilians (Chapter 48).

But law enforcement teams have always found it difficult to locate them.

Combined with the "blood sacrifice" intelligence provided by Bruch, the main mission of Red Beard and the Privateering Alliance has almost been confirmed.

"The evidence is overwhelming that they are really going to replicate the tragedy at Lancaster in Anchor Bay.

Now the series of missing civilians is just a prelude to the blood sacrifice.

And since the silver coins are a set, there must be other holders.

Red Beard might have had some reservations before, but now that he has been targeted by the gunpowder artist, he will probably have to release them all to speed up the process.

What about me? Lancaster had already been marked, so I was naturally in the game.

Is it possible to do something with this thing?"

Byron thought so and was about to turn the know-it-all Franklin next to him into transmuted blood.

But unexpectedly, he discovered that this guy had been affected by the side effects of the two whale bone amulets and had turned into an undead!
If used for more than five minutes, the soul will be absorbed by the [Moss Tombstone] inside it, forming a special extraordinary item.

In the center of the amulet is a tombstone carved with the name of Franklin Joshua, the "Know-it-all".

There is also an epitaph engraved below: "Privacy, tell me your privacy quickly!"

“Effect: The deceased’s emotions are very stable in front of the grave, and his humanity is completely gone, leaving only his own knowledge and a strong desire to peek.

You can ask it a question, but you must also answer it honestly.

Note: If you answer, it may spread your secrets to people around you through spiritual broadcasting or dreams.

If you cannot answer, you will be cursed with a first-level death curse. If you fail, you will die on the spot.

If left alone, after a while, when he kills enough people, it will most likely become a new [Cursed Item].

"A question answering machine? It sounds a bit like a pen fairy."

Byron did not use the Poincare conjecture or the Riemann hypothesis to embarrass the newly-minted "Pen Fairy". He just tried to ask the most concerned question:
"I want to turn from evil to good and become Captain Redbeard's confidant. Do you think I still have a chance?"

Now that we already know that Franklin is a bait, the identity of "Know-it-all" can definitely no longer be used.

But since his name is "Know-it-all", he must know who in the Privateering Alliance would be more suitable, right?

The undead was silent for only a second, then answered decisively in a sinister tone:
"Of course!"
