Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 600: Be lenient to yourself, Camel Mantis

The northern continent north of the Sunset Desert is the most intellectually active and chaotic. Among the fifty national forces, there is a small country called the Kingdom of Lake Light, which is close to the Five Great Lakes.

On the surface, it doesn't look much different from an ordinary human kingdom. Mortals live in a daze, experiencing birth, aging, sickness and death, and they will never leave the villages and towns where they live in their entire lives.

But 99% of the people don’t know that this is not actually a human kingdom, but just a large human breeding farm that is kept in captivity by activated knowledge.

In a luxuriously decorated room in the palace.

A handsome young man who seemed to be the prince of this country and possessed the rank of a fourth-order mythical creature was quietly reading a book.

At the moment when [Knight of Lake Light] Lancelot was pierced by the Sword in the Stone and completely disappeared.

Whoosh!
A ray of colorful light suddenly shot out from the top of the young prince's head, and turned into a large and thick book in mid-air. The illusory pages recorded his life experience in chronological order, with every detail.

But until a certain moment a few days ago, the young prince's record came to an abrupt end, replaced by an old bookmark with a yellowish brown tint.

The bookmark was inscribed with dense, tiny characters: The Legend of Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake:

"Lancelot is the son of King Ban and Queen Elaine. He was abandoned by the lake when he was still a baby and was raised by the fairies in the lake, thus earning his original title 'Lancelot of the Lake'."

Then, an ominous black and red light emanated from the bookmark, rapidly infecting the young prince's own "Book of Life".

Not only were the books contaminated, but the words on them all became biographies of Lancelot during his lifetime, death, or after his resurrection with activated knowledge.

The boy's appearance also began to change drastically, as if another person was trying to force his way out of his body.

"Father, father, king! Spare me, no, no!"

The boy let out a terrified whine but it didn't travel beyond the room.

After just two sobs, the "Book of Life" was completely dyed black and red by the bookmark.

A face was also completely replaced by the face of Lancelot that emerged from the body.

His body swelled up, and in just a few breaths, he changed from a thin young boy to the First Knight of the Round Table [Knight of the Lake] Lancelot.

The book of life above his head quietly disappeared, leaving only an old bookmark that had turned blank again and slowly fell onto the table.

Lancelot gasped for breath, as if the shock of death still lingered in his body:
"Huff, huff, I almost died.

correct! "

After a while, he recovered and his expression changed. He reached out and picked up the bookmark on the table, muttering to himself:
"How did I die this time?"

The bookmark is obviously not simple, it is a [Cursed Item·Copy Bookmark]:
"Write your detailed information on a bookmark, then clip it into someone else's book of life, and you can insert your existence into the life of a certain target without anyone noticing anything unusual.

For example, becoming each other's brother, son, or even father.
Once the main body dies, it can be resurrected with the information recorded in the bookmark, directly replacing the other party in the form of "activated knowledge".

It is equivalent to copying and pasting consciousness!
However, there is a fatal key problem here.

That is, after copying and pasting, an identical activated knowledge does appear. So what kind of relationship does he have with the original object that was copied? "

If Byron were here and saw the description of this bookmark, he would definitely have a say.

He once played a game called Living Brain Cells.

The protagonist of the game wakes up in a world that is about to end after being hit by a comet, and the world has entered a countdown.

The only hope for humanity is to launch the ark carrying human consciousness into space and continue the race in another way.

It is similar to the current world that is about to be submerged by the great flood of the Luan Dynasty.

After going through untold hardships, the protagonist finally successfully launched the Ark from the deep-sea base, and successfully "uploaded" his consciousness according to the instructions.

But it was only then that he discovered that consciousness can only be copied, not transferred!

The so-called consciousness that he uploaded was just a copied and pasted clone of consciousness, and his own consciousness still remained in the dark and cold deep sea.

The protagonist finally collapsed in despair and died wailing.

However, that consciousness copy was having sex with the consciousness copy of a beautiful woman in the Ark and they were living a happy life like in heaven.

This is a similar logic. The real Lancelot had already died long ago, and the activated knowledge that was resurrected later had died countless times.

At this time, [Lake Light Knight] Lancelot has become a new copy of the Nth generation and a new individual.

By the way, I also completely forgot everything that happened in Yuanwang Port.

I only remember that a few days ago I was about to set out to steal the world's most beautiful woman, Marie Antoinette, so I saved the game in advance to be on the safe side, and then I died inexplicably.

Obviously, in the round table resolution, only a layer of the [Sword in the Stone] was unlocked, and it was not enough to destroy the legend of Lancelot with one blow of the sword.

It allowed him to escape death to some extent.

"So, I died at the hands of the beautiful queen of the Desert Empire?

Is my [Eternal Lake Light] also lost there?"

Although he was very strong, it was not the first time that he was beaten to death for failing to pick flowers.

He couldn't help but secretly swear in his heart that sooner or later he would steal the "Queen", or even take over the Desert Empire and take down the largest fortress of mankind.

Relying on a vast amount of human resources, he reached the sixth-rank demigod, a realm that even the original body could not reach, and became the real Lancelot, not a clone!

It's just that he has just been resurrected and his strength is at its lowest point. Just like his son who was eaten, he only has the strength of the fourth level.

Just as he was about to go out and find a human town under his rule, and use the population of that town to restore his power to its heyday, he suddenly heard a subtle sound coming from the palace garden outside the window.

It was as if it had been blocked by someone on purpose, and only a fifth-level expert like him with an extremely high spiritual realm could detect it.

If it was a worthless mythical creature son, there would be no way he would notice anything.

“Your Majesty, His Majesty Lancelot has robbed so many women over the years, and his love has been divided into countless parts.

He's living a life of debauchery out there, while you're staying alone in the palace. I've always felt it's not worth it for you.

"In the future, when Lord Lancelot is away, let me comfort you. Not just one day or one night, but every day and every night."

Lancelot, who had already put his hand on the door handle, suddenly changed his expression:
"This voice is my Prime Minister Pan!"

In the Jupiter pantheon, Pan is the son of Mercury, the god of commerce.

His mythological form has a human head and body, and goat legs, horns and ears, which is commonly known as a satyr.

Pan likes to play the pan flute, and the pan flute he plays has hypnotic power.

He is also extremely lustful by nature and often hides in the bushes, waiting for natural nymphs to pass by before approaching them to woo them.

In the Jupiter pantheon, the half-man, half-goat Pan is a symbol of creativity, music, poetry, and sexuality, but also a symbol of panic and nightmares.

Lancelot accepted this new activated knowledge a hundred years ago, making him a member of his own kingdom.

He often uses his ability to meet his lovers in dreams, and it is easier for him to win the hearts of queens when he really takes action.

Because of their good cooperation, Lancelot once regarded him as his confidant.

But now it seems that he has nurtured a serious enemy, and this enemy has long harbored evil intentions and wants to turn the tables.

At this moment, he heard the queen he had robbed last time, who had been married to him for seven or eight years, whisper:

"Don't"

Lancelot was very relieved when he heard his queen's refusal.

Although he was a minotaur, he did not have any special fetishes like being possessed by bulls, so he naturally hoped that the queen would remain loyal to him, even though he was tired of her.

There is no doubt that Lancelot is also a double standard monster.

But what the queen said next brought his heart to the bottom.

“Not in the garden, let’s go to the bedroom.

Didn't you say that it feels better to make love in front of Lancelot's portrait? Today, I will fulfill your wish."

When Lancelot discovered that he had lost the [Eternal Lake Light], his face had already turned dark and blue.

Upon hearing this, his face turned green, and he dyed his hair a pale green as well, growling from his throat:
"Adulterer and whore, I want you to live a life worse than death!"

Hearing these words, even a fool could guess that this was obviously not their first time.

If he hadn't died this time and had come back normally, their affair would not have been discovered.

However, Pan is also a fifth-level activated knowledge and is in his prime.

Lancelot himself had just been resurrected, and before he recovered his strength he could not defeat the Prime Minister at all. He even dared not go out to meet him for fear of being killed again.

[Copy Bookmark] It has not been inserted into other people’s “Book of Life” yet. If he is killed again this time, the myth of Lancelot may not be revived by the Corridor of Truth for one or two hundred years.

He sat back in his chair, picked up a book with a confused mind, but couldn't read a single word.

Her keen senses clearly captured the unbearable noises in her bedroom, and she even used herself as a flirting prop from time to time, almost breaking her back teeth with the "crunching" sound.

It's still daytime!
I could only comfort myself repeatedly: "You dare to betray me? Just wait until I regain my strength, and I will make sure you die miserably."

For the first time, he personally experienced what it meant to be "strict with others and lenient with yourself."

Every minute and every second was extremely torturous.

From day to night, and from night to day, Pan and his beautiful queen, radiant with light, finally walked out of the bedroom again.

Pan, the god who holds the power of nightmares, had already hypnotized everyone so that no one would notice their abnormality.

After listening to the sound for a whole day and night, Lancelot, who was covered in a pale green and almost vomiting blood, finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to slip out of the palace, he suddenly pricked up his ears again.

"Eh? Father, why are you here?"

There is only one person whom Pan can call father, and that is Mercury, the God of Commerce.

Pan is also activated knowledge, but it was not born naturally like Lancelot.

Rather, he was a helper that Mercurius specially trained for himself in order to improve the efficiency of finding "Father Jupiter" when he traveled around the world.

Whether in mythology or in reality, Pan is the undisputed son of Mercury. On the surface, he respects Lancelot as his master, but secretly he is always a die-hard fan of Mercury.

This time the case was solved again.

The entire Corridor of Truth has so much activated knowledge, why was it that when Byron eavesdropped, the first person that [Jackal God] and [Thousand-Faced Serpent] mentioned was Lancelot, the Knight of the Lake?

It is because they have only recently regained their sanity that they are most familiar with this activated knowledge.

There are always people of theirs lurking around us.

After losing his identity in Ferdinand's family and his well-prepared fast ship, the "traitor" could only cross the second circulation belt on foot with Salome.

Even though they all had fifth-level strength, they still arrived at the East Continent two days later than Byron and his party.

He immediately came to gather his own people.

He got straight to the point:

"Pan, get ready and follow me to the Sea of ​​Element.

I just received information from the Jackal God's followers.

The Queen of the Desert Empire summoned many high-ranking wizards, speculating that they were plotting against the God-King [Falcon-Headed God] Horus, or even other old gods of the desert pantheon.

Probably because they have similar powers over the sky and storm, and are attracted to each other by the idea of ​​'all things returning to one', the location is not far from the kingdom of Ishtar, the goddess of Venus, which you discovered.

Now, the Blind Church of the Eagle-Headed God and the Lion-Headed Goddess, the Swamp Tombs of the Jackal God, and other followers of the former desert gods are about to come out in full force.

The ally [Thousand-Faced Serpent] Hydra's Church will also take action.

The most interesting thing is that the power and priesthood of the Sun and Storm conflict with those of the major deep-sea clans, but I have remained a "human" from beginning to end thanks to the divine art [One Heart, One Sex].

This time, we are going to have a party that benefits the most, and I, Mercury, will be the biggest winner!

Then, crushing the [Wild Hunt King] will be as easy as crushing an ant."

Several days passed by in a flash.

Thanks to the efforts of the "infrastructure maniacs", Yuanwang Port has taken shape.

The lighthouse, the pier, the pier, and the most indispensable tavern have all been built. The foundation of a large bastion has also been laid and is being built in full swing.

call--!
Byron's consciousness was blown out from the "Huashan Paradise" with a breeze, blowing through every building in Yuanwang Port and blowing towards the farther north.

Sometimes you fall into the huge waves of the Skeleton Coast, and you can see all the sunken ships, treasures and victims sleeping on the bottom of the sea;
Sometimes, he cruised along the Sedge River, the longest river in the Eastern Continent, feeling the strongest pulse of the continent's water system, and in the blink of an eye, he broke through the maximum limit of [God's Vision];

Sometimes it soars into the sky, reaching the outermost layer of the atmosphere, as if it could reach out and touch the starry sky;

Then he flew into the deep sea again, his senses stretched to the limit, and he saw the ten major underwater kingdoms in the northwest of the Skeleton Coast, most of which had become ruins, and the Mermaid Tudor Dynasty that was surrounded.

They are relying on the last and strongest trident that symbolizes the power of "liquid" to support the "Pillar of Heloxis" on the seabed, forming a powerful divine maze that even Byron's currently limited senses cannot overcome.

But at least it is certain that the Tudor dynasty's mother's family and the father-in-law [Whale Hunter] Jack Harold who rushed in for unknown reasons are safe for the time being.

Moreover, the unexpected fall of [Noah's Ark] and the Mother of Monsters made the blood beast nest trapped here a little at a loss for a moment, and the intensity of the siege was much smaller than at the beginning.

“Although I feel that the Desert Empire’s confidentiality work is not good enough, a secret operation is about to turn itself into the eye of the storm.

But to some extent, it has also attracted the attention of some interested parties to the Desert Empire, which is a good thing.”

Byron was slightly relieved when he saw that the Mermaid Kingdom was fine.

However, he also exited his current state at the moment of his mood fluctuations. The tentacles of his consciousness were like rubber bands stretched to their limit, and instantly returned to his body which was still in the Flower Mountain Paradise.

Byron did not rush to open his eyes, but carefully savored the deep state of "everything becomes one" that he had just experienced.

The Corridor of Truth is a disaster for ordinary people, but it may not be the case for mid- and high-sequence transcendents.

The speed of knowledge integration in the Corridor of Truth is indeed faster than anywhere else, and it is more likely to produce various innovative results. It is no wonder that the old gods' followers looked down on the whale oil technology of the Silver Continent.

For example, the state Byron just entered was not only due to the benefits gained from the "Sword in the Stone" feeding back to the world, but also because of the advanced meditation method he learned from the chief wizard of the Storybrooke School, "The Little Prince" in the past few days - "The Hollow World".

In the past, if Byron wanted to reach the state of unity of all things, he could only “steer” himself to balance the divinity and animality of his two sisters, and slowly improve his progress through practice.

This was the first time he knew that there was an advanced meditation method in the world that was specifically used to improve the state of "all things become one".

It makes sense when you think about it.

Most of the wizards in the Corridor of Truth have weak anchors. If their spiritual realms were weaker, the place would probably be full of lunatics and weirdos.

"To put it simply, the 'ethereal world' means completely letting go of the 'self' and actively integrating into the wind, rain, thunder, lightning, birds, and beasts of the world, and empathizing with the world. The longer you persist, the faster your realm will grow.

However, this advanced meditation method also has high requirements for the user.

First you have to be extremely tired, have no desires, and have a mind as calm as an ancient well, and then you can experience this state.

If you lose control accidentally and the anchor chain on your body is torn off, you may dissolve into this world on the spot. You need to be careful to grasp your own limits.

My anchoring is stronger than that of an ordinary sixth-order demigod, so there is no need to worry about that.

The key is the former. I can't achieve the baby-like state of mind of the Little Prince, but I have found my own way.

That is to use the sage time to enter a meditative state!"

Byron opened his eyes again and found himself in a clear little lake in a valley in Huashan Paradise, with a circle of large bluestones that looked as smooth as jade surrounding the shore.

Two bright and lovely girls were sitting on a stone opposite him.

Two pairs of crystal white bare feet kicked up the water, and some of the water splashed onto his chest and cheeks on purpose, teasing him boldly like a little witch.

During this time, Violet and Catherine broke through from [Divine Vision] to the state of "All Things Become One".

Violet's progress in digesting the Golden Mist Palace and the power left by Queen Frigga also increased significantly.

In addition to the first incarnation [Advisor] Fulla and the second incarnation [Words] Saga, the third incarnation [Truth] Linn was differentiated.

And he temporarily lent this divine incarnation to Catherine, who came here through the [Golden Triangle], and transformed it into a beautiful blonde girl with emerald eyes.

While Byron was meditating, the two sisters did not disturb him. They each held a bowl of ice cream and ate it with relish, feeding each other from time to time.

Seeing him wake up again, the two sisters knew tacitly that a new round of practice was about to begin.

She licked the corner of her lips, smiled charmingly at Byron, stretched out two pairs of gentle little feet, stepped on his thick and broad chest, slid down little by little, and continued to fall towards his lower abdomen with eight abdominal muscles and smooth lines.

"hiss--!"

Byron gasped and grabbed one of Violet's delicate feet, holding it in his hand to stop her from moving.

He is a born donkey who has become a false god, and is worse than the most powerful monster.

If Violet was the only one around, it would not be easy to send him into the sage state. Even when his hands, feet, and mouth were sore from exhaustion, Byron remained as still as a mountain.

But fortunately, there is the [Golden Triangle]. Although my sister Catherine is thousands of miles away, even five or six time zones away, she still comes to help every day.

There was Violet herself, an incarnation of divinity, and it wasn't just the Sword in the Stone who was willing to let him take shortcuts and use a backdoor.

All these methods combined ensured that Byron's practice was not interrupted.

Soon, the war started again.

Boom——!
The small lake exploded with a huge splash.

Byron soared into the sky with the holy spear in his hand, moving forward and backward, advancing and retreating.

The rumbling sound of artillery fire caused ripples in the small lake. After an unknown amount of time, the water suddenly overflowed like a waterfall, and Violet was defeated.

Lynn, who was possessed by Catherine, flew to save her sister and fed the tiger with her own body, staging a dragon-tiger fight
The majestic power of their thoughts and wishes transformed into divine aura, allowing the spirituality of the three of them to gradually reach 23. When they reached the fifth-level limit of 25 points, they could seek qualitative change and be promoted to "immortal divinity."

The "return of all things to one" of three people from three to two, and from two to one is also progressing rapidly.

Byron's 4.6% a few days ago has quickly risen to 5%, and the power of heaven and earth that can be mobilized has almost doubled compared to when he just set out from the Old Continent.

The "three cultivations" are combined with the "ethereal world". When you are tired of one, practice the other one, and when you are tired of the other one, practice the one you practice.

"We are so strong and work so hard, I will crush you!"

People's ambitions will inevitably grow as their abilities continue to increase.

Byron decided to set a small goal first: to carve his own name in this world!

In this way, time passed quickly as the three of them practiced fulfillingly.

On the fifth day of their retreat, which was also the seventh day since they arrived at the Corridor of Truth, they finally received a call from the Queen.

Byron left the Swamp Giant and the incarnation of divinity, Lynn, to look after the house, and took Violet and several of the King's Right Hands to Storybrooke to meet up with the others.

All the men and women in the group were very interested in the legendary "most beautiful woman in the world" and were looking forward to this journey.

They passed through the space channel opened by Alibaba and arrived at the outskirts of the imperial capital, the Sun City, Heliopolis.

It was not until they saw the special commuter vehicles arranged for them by the Desert Empire that their beautiful fantasy was suddenly shattered.

The vehicle pulling the cart was not a whale oil machine or a desert ship as imagined, but a giant insect.

It has a flat, light brown body, wings on its back, and six legs under its belly.

No matter how you look at this thing, it looks like a big cockroach!

Cockroach car?
Of course, in the Desert Empire it is more likely to be a dung beetle, a mutant of the scarab. What a joke!

Even Byron, a capitalist and the father of monsters, could not help but stare in amazement:

"A mantis powered vehicle?"

"Big Mantis Green New Energy?"

"The Ship of the Desert, the Camel Mantis???!"
