Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 595: Visiting Fairy Tale Town, Suddenly Hearing an Old Friend Come

The deep night that enveloped the entire Corridor of Truth became increasingly noisy.

On the crescent blood moon, Lilith's eyes seemed to open a little wider, but it seemed just an illusion, but she actually lowered her cold gaze, splashing a large area of ​​ominous bloody filth towards the entire continent.

Everything on land, whether alive or dead, or even anything that no one could tell whether it was alive or dead, began to stir, becoming even more lively than during the day.

But this excitement belongs to others and has nothing to do with the human community.

Whoever dares to join in the fun will surely become the cause of others' fun.

call out!call out!
But there are always exceptions. Two streaks of light streaked across the low-hanging clouds, unconcealedly heading straight inland from the west coast.

During this period, any evil creatures or night monsters that dared to fly into the air to intercept would be immediately nailed to the ground by a lightning-fast gun.

This is Byron and his group who were invited by "Grandma Wolf" Britney to visit the Storybrooke School.

Only Hathaway and Byron, mother and son, passed by, riding together on an eight-legged Pegasus. Byron held the reins in front, while Hathaway sat sideways on the broad horse's back, gathering her skirt.

Violet led the large army that was released from the Kingdom of God and set up camp in the coastal forest that had been half flattened by Byron's two moves.

This piece of land was originally Britney's private property.

After she successfully became a fifth-rank pseudo-god, or a high-ranking wizard in the school's classification, her status greatly increased, and she no longer cared about this little bit of property.

She casually gave this coastline and the nearby estate where escaped slaves were born to Hathaway, her "fellow student" who saved her life.

Byron decided on the spot to name it "Port of Farview".

After dawn tomorrow, the first level-one lighthouse connected to the matrix will be built, and based on this, a "Far-View Fortress" will be created to serve as a bridgehead for subsequent ocean-going fleets and merchant ships from various countries to dock.

Like the Thaiman Islands, it is positioned as an international port that attracts wealth from all directions.

As for whether Britney is worried that these visitors from the Old World are actually colonizers?
When we are sharing wealth, we are afraid that others will snatch our meat away, but who will care about this when we are sharing adversity?

As the weakest human party among the forces in the Eastern Continent: "Activated Knowledge, Church of the Old Gods, and School of Wizardry", she wishes that as many human colonists as possible would come.

Compared to the Old God Church and the Activated Knowledge, at least they don't eat people!
"Your Majesty, if there is a place in the material world that can be called the 'hell' of mankind, it must be here.

Ordinary people are just at the bottom of the food chain, and anyone can have a bite of them.

Although this is the hometown where I grew up, I have to say that this is not a good place to build a large colonial empire.

If the starting point of the third circulation belt, the Ten Undersea Kingdoms, had not been occupied by the Old God Church, everyone with a way out would have fled to the Dragon King's Court."

Britney, wearing a red hood and riding on a walnut broom, sighed softly to Byron.

She had personally witnessed Byron's terrifying strength, which allowed him to defeat her with just one hand, as well as his fleet of 5,000 people that was enough to destroy a small country.

He also realized that this team, which set out from the Dragon King's Court, passed through the First Circulation Belt, the Beast Paradise of the Southern Continent, the Second Circulation, and arrived at the Corridor of Truth of the Eastern Continent, was not led by his "senior sister", the mermaid princess Hathaway.

It was her son, a god-emperor who had a powerful empire in both the Dragon Court and the Bantaan Islands!
Although the other party emphasized that he only had the [title] but not the [crown].

But the extraordinary forces under his command alone are enough to compete with many of the leading universities, and the secular army has left most of the forces in the East Continent far behind.

Britney's ancestors were also people from the Old World who were sent to the Eastern Continent by the Blue Hole, and they even have one-sixteenth of Taiwanese blood.

Not only did they not face the resistance of the colonists, but they wholeheartedly wanted to attract them as foreign aid and give a shot in the arm to the struggling humans of the East Continent.

In fact, other human wizarding schools have similar attitudes.

If they could take this land back from the hands of all those evil creatures, they would not mind sharing the profits with their fellow countrymen, or even establishing a solid alliance of mutual assistance.

'But according to the emperor, the main purpose of this trip is to go to the ten underwater kingdoms to rescue the besieged mother tribe, and there may not be continuous investment and development in the East Continent.

Therefore, the only problem now is what can attract the Silver Continent colonists to come here in a steady stream to support our resistance movement in this place where the living environment is like a bloody swamp and muddy.'

Britney glanced at Hathaway's profile. Even though the wizards of the "Fairy Tale Town School" all had a pure heart that came from a fairy tale, she couldn't help but feel a little envious:

'The kingdom was in trouble and the princess fled to a foreign country. Twenty years later, she returned as the king with her son, whose strength was unfathomable, and his army.

Your story itself is already a fairy tale, and it is a cool writing style that has become increasingly popular recently.

The young people in the school are very fond of it, and the core element seems to be: 'Back off, I'm going to start pretending'?
Why do we need to write another fairy tale?
I guess once they accomplish this, the second legendary story of coming back to life will soon become concrete, right?'

Byron naturally couldn't guess what Britney was thinking, otherwise he would have recommended her to go to the Old World for further studies.

With the divergent thinking level of her and the Storybook Town School, if she went to the Old Continent to learn advanced knowledge of the [Stairs of Glory] for two days, she could easily become a [Novelist], or even open up a branch of "Fairy Tale Writers" and produce a few characters like "An Tusheng".

Just listening to her introduction to the Eastern Continent, I couldn't help but look down at the restless earth beneath my feet.

The Corridor of Truth has many similarities with Beast Garden.

On this vast and primitive continent, the natural world accounts for a much larger proportion than the humanized world, and the level of development is extremely low.

The vast mountains and forests, which were many times taller than those in the Old Continent, swayed quietly, and every blade of grass, tree, flower and stone came to life under the blood moon.

Monsters lurked in the shadows, evil spirits whimpered, and the deserted forbidden area was suddenly filled with noise and bustle.

"All things have spirits" may be just a fantasy of mortals in awe of nature in other places, but in these two places it is an obvious depiction of reality.

However, the Southern Continent, as a veritable "paradise of beasts", is still dominated by various animal-like grotesques or monsters.

Byron had seen one with his own eyes: a [grotesque millipede] that was as big as a metal motorcycle, had a human face, and had thousands of tentacles replaced by human feet;
There are [Monsters·Sinkhole Worms] that roam deep underground. With one mouth, they can create a huge sinkhole on the ground, which is large enough to swallow up a small tribe of humans in an instant. After eating a meal, they can continue to lie dead for decades until a new tribe is established, reproduces, and grows next to their mouths, and then they swallow it up in one gulp.
There are corpses that have been polluted by the blood moon and have crawled out of their graves, wandering around chasing after any smell of fresh flesh and blood.
But when we arrived at the Corridor of Truth, the situation changed significantly.

Activated knowledge and secret realms formed by cracks in the world have replaced ordinary weirdness, becoming more secretive and more dangerous.

On the roadside, what appears to be a bustling and lively human tavern may actually be a "human skin inn";
A quiet and peaceful town in the woods at night may be "Silent Hill"; in an ordinary city, there is an "Elm Street" inexplicably;
An inconspicuous house in the forest may be a "cabin in the woods".
The human settlements on the continent are divided into fragmented points by densely packed secret realms of all sizes.

Not to mention a large empire with a vast territory, a large population, and a prosperous economy, there are not even a few kingdoms and principalities in the Silver Continent.

The main mode is still based on fortress cities, which cooperate with surrounding satellite cities that exist as resource points to form isolated plots of land.

“Your Majesty, the King of the Wild Hunt, in fact, the more developed the humanities are in the Corridor of Truth, the more knowledge is activated, and the more serious the disaster is.

The northern continent is separated by the world's largest desert, the Sunset Desert, and its inhabitants are mainly immigrants from all over the world.

The fusion of thoughts and cultures has created the most complex cultural environment and provided a breeding ground for the birth of various active knowledge.

Humans in many places have become "reserve food" in human farms without even realizing it.

In recent decades, as the source tides have become more active and the material world has fallen into the intertidal zone, this situation has become more and more serious."

Britney accompanied them on the flight, while introducing the current situation on the mainland to Byron and Hathaway, who had been away from home for 20 years, and also re-outlined an overall concept for them:

"In the Corridor of Truth today, there are three main forces: activated knowledge, the wizard school, and the emerging Old God sect.

There are about fifty first-class organizations and forces at the fifth level in the northern part of the continent, and pure human forces only account for a quarter of them.

The attack and defense are difficult to change, and it is extremely painful.

The strongest human force among them is the wizarding kingdom, the Lone Star Kingdom, and the second-ranked Flower Kingdom are both known as: The Lone Star Kingdom does not support lazy people, and the Flower Kingdom does not support idle people.

Humans who want to get their protection must have a skill. It is considered the core area of ​​economic civilization. As long as those weird things do not unite, at least they can continue to support it.

On the contrary, the Desert Empire in the "Sunset Desert" is naturally restrained by the Sea of ​​​​Source, retaining the scale of the empire and ruled by the [Queen].

The southern area south of the desert is mainly the home of the Dark Iron Tribe and is relatively safe.

Many northern forces that could no longer hold on began to move southwards, or to start new operations and establish branches."

Just like Byron's comments on the Black Iron Tribe, they have no talent for learning and wisdom, and they don't even have their own writing, let alone the inheritance of civilization.

The Songhai Empire, the only empire of the Black Iron Clan, lasted less than a hundred years before it collapsed.

There hasn't even been any wizarding school worth a name among this group.

By chance, the civilized depression has become a blessed land for the continuation of the population, and the living environment here is far more friendly than that in the north.

"pity."

Byron listened to Britney's introduction and had a general idea of ​​the situation in the Corridor of Truth. A trace of regret appeared on his face:
“If there is no way for the population and commodities to circulate freely on a large scale, then the self-sufficient manor economy will inevitably prevail.

I finally understood why the technology tree for whale oil technology was oriented towards the extraordinary direction rather than the more universal steam engine direction.

Most social problems are essentially economic problems or extensions of economic problems.

They have no motivation to mass-produce goods for sale, so naturally they will not develop the corresponding technology.

Because even if they are produced, they can hardly be shipped out, and even if they are shipped out, the transportation costs are not high enough.

This is not to mention the need for a cheap supply chain system that relies on a logistics system.

The last time, due to special circumstances, the indigenous empire of Yucatan Island was accidentally transformed from indirect economic colonization to direct rule.

At this point, perhaps we can pick up the colonial system again by selecting agents.

As long as we ship our industrial products in, their primitive small peasant economy will surely die.

Of course this is not my purpose.

If possible, I would like to establish contact with those wizarding schools on the continent that are still considered orthodox humans, and try to integrate the remaining human forces together.

It would be best to formulate adaptive laws to complement the [Silver Law] of the Old World and the [Golden Law] of the Southern World. [Bronze Law] and [Iron Law] are also acceptable.

Even if it is just a loose federation for the time being, I cannot be the emperor who has the final say, but being the father of the nation is not unacceptable."

When Byron was thinking, he suddenly heard Britney beside him remind him:
"You two, we're here."

Britney pulled them and turned into streams of light, rushing into an inconspicuous squirrel hole in the forest.

Byron's eyes went dark and then bright, and he found himself in a small but very clean town.

A winding colorful river flows slowly around the town. The town is paved with neat cobblestone roads, with castles with spires, whirring windmills, and houses built with chocolate and cake candy.
The flowers and plants were holding hands and singing happily. Fawns and white rabbits wearing top hats walked by them, but they were not afraid of people at all. Instead, they took off their hats to salute them. In addition to the normal silver-white moon projection in the sky, there were several small celestial bodies floating.

The deep blue night sky was clear, with only a few pink pigs floating by from time to time, swimming freely and leisurely.
Just by the river not far from where they were standing, waves suddenly jumped, and a forest hut exactly the same as the "Grandma Wolf's" residence slowly emerged from the colorful mist.

On the other side, a small port and a magnificent castle that is a one-to-one replica of Sorenborg have become part of the town.

Britney looked at Byron's surprised expression and smiled smugly:

“Welcome to the [Truth Representation] of the ‘Fairy Tale Town School’ - Fairy Tale Town!

I have already informed the teacher of the good news in advance, please follow me."

Byron had long learned from his mother that the essence of Fairy Tale Town was equivalent to a powerful man-made kingdom of God.

Here all pollution can be cleared and the rules can be redefined.

And every time a new superior wizard who "becomes a fairy tale" appears in the school, it will bring new changes to the town.

Just like before, the school welcomed two fifth-level masters at once today.

The story scenes corresponding to the two of them naturally appear, adding to the entire school and greatly enhancing the overall anchoring of the school members.

Even if these fifth-level people do nothing in the future, their mere existence is already a great contributor to the school, and they can make a lot of money just from the "registration fee".

But Byron thought that this kind of [truth embodiment] should be fine for self-protection.

But if you want to save the world in this way, there is only a slight possibility unless you can reach a higher level than the [Bound Creator] and transform the entire material world into your own kingdom of God.

Good at defense, but not aggressive enough.

Hathaway had lived here for quite some time and had already witnessed the magic of the fairy-tale town, so she didn't think too much about it. There was obvious homesickness on her face as she saw her teacher again after twenty years.

Mouth murmured:

"I wonder if she's still as irritable as she was 20 years ago?"

Boom——!
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling fire burst out from a castle in the center of the town. The shock wave stirred the fairy tale town and made their clothes rustle.

Then I heard a very immature, yet very aggressive female voice:

"Little Prince! Give me back the lollipops I left for Hathaway, or I'll send you to see your grandma!"

A young figure, probably only about the size of an eight or nine-year-old child, rushed onto the roof of the castle with the shock wave of the fire.

He wore a golden crown on his head and held a rainbow lolly wrapped in candy paper in his hand. He dodged again a match that was more powerful than high explosive gunpowder.

He made a face at the red-haired girl who was chasing after him:

"Stingy guy, isn't it just a piece of candy? Come and catch me, and if you catch me, I'll let you spank me as you like."

Byron: Uh
He also didn't expect that the "welcome ceremony" in Fairy Tale Town would be even more grand than he had imagined.

Right from the start, we saw the candy war between the first and second place in the school, "The Final Battle at the Top of Fairy Tale Town".

I had heard about it on the way. My mother and Britney's teacher [The Little Match Girl] Tricia were the second in command of the school.

But she is also a fire mage with the strongest combat power. It is said that the "matches" she sells can allow people in an entire town to see their deceased grandmother together. Its power is extraordinary.

The "Little Prince" on the opposite side who is "trick or treat" is the leader of the school!
Except for the newly promoted [Grandma Wolf] and [Little Mermaid].

The school also includes "The Little Match Girl", "The Princess and the Pea", "The Snow Queen", "Alibaba and the Forty Thieves" and "The Little Prince".

The entire school has a total of seven fifth-level people, worthy of being a great school with a thousand-year heritage.

However, as we can see, there is a key problem here. All black magic has side effects, and the fairy tale school is no exception.

Their side effect is that they will be more or less influenced by the corresponding fairy tale characters.

They may be quite capable, but most of them are naive.

That is, believe that children must be stronger than adults.

They dare to pursue fantasies like the Arabian Nights, can do things that adults cannot achieve, and can discover the truth of life that adults cannot understand.

Instead of being bogged down in the hypocrisy and politeness of adults.

The most typical one among them is the head of the school, the Little Prince.

His fairy tales symbolize hope, love, innocence and the childlike wisdom that lies deep within each of us.

His character and personality can be seen from his power.

[The Little Match Girl] is similar.

There was no polite welcome ceremony for the fifth-level false god. Instead, the teacher took out his favorite lollipops and prepared to share them with the disciples whom he had not seen for many years.

As for the old mother Hathaway
After she entered Fairy Tale Town, her eye shadow changed from that of a strong woman who created her own world to that of a princess who could win easily by lying down.

I know that her side effects are obvious: "Intermittently full of confidence, continuous idleness and waiting for death! Banner: muddle through."

Byron was particularly pleased with such an old mother.

"Sisters, our family property has been saved, it is really cause for celebration.

After all, although we are rich, we are not that rich. If we waste a villa in three minutes, we will be bankrupt in five hundred years. "

But when he followed Britney towards the castle, ready to meet the two wizards, he began to hesitate.

It is certainly a good thing to sing praises to the true nature of children and all the truth, goodness and beauty in the world. When you cooperate with such people, you probably don't have to worry about being backstabbed.

But a person cannot be a child forever!

Although this sentence has been said so many times, the truth is still the same: the reason why you live a peaceful life is that someone is carrying the burden for you.

My mother can be innocent, eat, drink and have fun because we men are the ones supporting her.

But you are the pillars of the school, how can you continue to be naive?
When a person is innocent as a child, others may find it cute.

But let him go, he is just a three hundred year old kid!

Just thinking about this scene gives me a toothache.

Byron couldn't help but wonder whether he could reconsider his decision to cooperate with them.

However, when he walked to the gate of the castle and looked at the Little Prince Exupery who jumped down from the top of the castle, he found that he was actually superficial.

A pair of baby-like eyes, pure, sincere, clear and simple.

It seems that even the various negative effects from the Sea of ​​​​Source cannot pollute it.

Even Byron's utilitarian heart calmed down.

Then my heart sank.

The deepest feeling is:

"When he eats, he eats; when he plays, he plays; when he sleeps, he sleeps.

It will definitely not be like what ordinary people do when they eat, looking around, thinking about this and that, calculating and worrying about everything.

When I sleep, I dream about this and that, tossing and turning."

【The Little Prince】Perhaps his absolute power is not as good as mine.

However, the other party's spiritual realm of "all things become one" is much higher than his own, and he may have exceeded the critical value of 10% long ago!
Only then did I realize that he was clearly an old naughty boy, a sweeping monk, or an old immortal who said, "I bet he can't kill us all before his strength runs out!"
At the same time that Byron was visiting the fairy-tale town, the sun was setting deep in the desert north of "Farlook Port".

A bloody chase and counterattack came to an end.

There were two groups of people. One was the palace guards of the Desert Empire wearing the emblem of the "Sedge River Flower Snake" and the other was a handsome knight in black armor.

Bang!
The black-armored knight pulled out a long sword as bright as lake light from the chest of the last captain of the palace guards who died in the battle, and stomped on the opponent's head to pieces.

Looking in the direction of the northern desert empire's royal city, he slowly shook his head:

"What a pity, the defense of the [World's Most Beautiful Woman] and [Queen] is too tight, and she herself is also a top-notch wizard.

I tried many times to sneak into her palace and start a passionate "palace love" with her, but failed.

When I went to the palace again this time, this beauty suddenly summoned many human wizards nearby for some unknown reason, as if she was going to do something big, which led to my failure again.

What a shame.

But, woman, you have successfully attracted my attention, let's wait and see!"

A crescent moon in the sky shone on his face, reflecting a handsome face that could make a little girl scream.

On the scabbard of the sword at the waist was clearly engraved a line of elven words: "Eternal Lake Light"!
Just as he was about to turn around and cross the "Sunset Desert" back to the northern continent, his favorite beautiful queens were all there.

Although none of these queens belonged to him, it did not prevent him from enjoying them at will.

Just then a gust of south wind blew, and the knight's nose suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look towards the southern continent.

The lake-like blue eyes suddenly lit up:

"There is a beautiful queen there whom I have never seen before, but who clearly exudes a sense of familiarity from the inside out. She seems to have the breath of the North Sea and the coldness of the North, just like my Guinevere!"

I took a step forward involuntarily and turned to run south.
