Chapter 4: A New Identity
Byron's own abilities and situation were clear in the logbook, and he quickly figured out his future.
"For me now, improving my supernatural strength is my top priority.
Two innate abilities that can be activated at all times without consuming spirituality.
[Cognitive Correction] Even if there is an upper limit of correction, it is currently only effective for low-level transcendents, and it is also a first-class life-saving ability.
Weather Intuition is a dream skill for sailors and navigators!
But if I want to escape for my life or even revenge, these two talents alone are not enough.
You must complete your inauguration as soon as possible and obtain at least one rank in the Combat Transcendent Sequence in order to have the initial power of self-protection.
By the way, activate the log gift entry - [History Corrector].
And I just had one of the key props in my hand that I could use for the inauguration ceremony. ”
Thinking of this, Byron raised his left hand.
only to find that the family [seal ring] that should have been worn on the index finger was gone!
However, when he realized that even the sapphire buttons on the cuffs of his shirt were missing, he immediately calmed down.
"I was rescued by a merchant ship and captured by a group of pirates, and it was a dream to expect them to do nothing against my belongings.
But no matter who takes it, it will definitely be concentrated on this pirate ship in the end. ”
After just a little groaning, I made up my mind.
"First of all, recover the belongings that were looted by the pirates from the [Maneater], especially the most important family [Seal].
I have only the help of this medium, which has extraordinary power, symbolizing the kingship of the House of Lancaster.
In order to complete the inauguration ceremony of the next transcendent profession, and block the possible divination and hunting of the York family in the future. ”
"Hop on a pirate ship and get out of the Heights coast as fast as you can.
After that, whether it was going deep into the vast waters of the North Sea or going to overseas colonies, there were countless opportunities waiting for me.
With the help of the Logbook, I can grow quickly as long as I keep exploring the unknown.
It fits perfectly into the current Age of Discovery, which has only just started for less than 100 years, and there are still countless blanks left on the map.
Excluding the self-contained naval path, other privateers, pirates, independent adventurers, bounty hunters... You can do it! ”
Byron grabbed the carved decoration of the pirate ship's aft veranda and climbed up silently.
At the end of the journal, a line of ink reads: Although the hatred of Lancaster is temporarily hidden, there will be a day when blood and fire will sing together.
......
At the same time, it was arranged in the galley of the lower cabin of the [Maneater].
A young man wearing a white chef's hat and holding a kitchen knife is standing in front of the board.
Listening to the screams of the merchant sailors outside the porthole, from high-pitched to debilitating to silent, he muttered to himself with a somewhat crazy expression:
"I didn't do anything wrong!
The captain insisted on a ridiculous chivalry, and swore to the death to guard Lord Crawford's property, the backbone of the extinct Lancastrian Party.
At first, he insisted on fishing the wrecked man from the sea who was holding a wooden plank and of unknown origin.
I told him that the eight virtues of a knight are all jokes, and that in the treacherous seas, old antiques who do not know how to adapt will not live long. ”
"If it weren't for the captain's death, and the stormtroopers once attacked the pirate ship in reverse, I wouldn't have shot him in the back.
Legend has it that Salman, the captain of the Man-Shark, is ruthless and a powerful transcendent, and if he provokes him, everyone will die.
Now, at least I survived, and it was totally worth it! ”
But when he slowly lowered his head and looked at the ingredients on the board, his face gradually turned to panic:
"But I'm just an ordinary sailor and a part-time cook, and even the vulgar crew of the ship complain about my cooking, and where can I find any exquisite aristocratic dishes?
What's more, who doesn't know that the thinnest book in the world is the recipe of the kingdom of Hattings?
Unless I go to the Iris Kingdom next door to study, how can I possibly satisfy that murderous [Bloody Eye] captain?
The pirates said, "Prepare me, and take me to meet the murderous Bloody Eye in a moment to learn about his tastes and preferences and prepare a meal."
What to do? What am I going to do? ”
The young man walked up and down in place anxiously, trampling on the lower deck.
It is not difficult to guess that this young man is the only chef on the Pelican merchant ship who has a chance to survive in the mouth of the first mate "broken bones" Miles just now.
But the premise is that he must be able to use the experience of "serving the nobles" to conquer the picky taste buds of the captain [Bloody Eye] Salman!
It's a shame that he's just a boastful impostor.
The thought of the rumors that the pirate captain would eat the living like the "cannibals" in the story made him terrified.
Looking around for a while, he saw that the kitchen was empty, and no pirate noticed him.
He carried a kitchen knife and tentatively approached the porthole a little bit.
I was just going to stick my head out to see if I could jump into the sea to escape.
But because he was worried that the sharks that had eaten his companions might not have eaten enough, he silently retracted his head again.
The two ends of a "head rat" are vividly portrayed.
Seeing that the minutes were passing and the footsteps of pirates could be heard outside the kitchen, he finally gritted his teeth and mustered up the courage to poke his head out cautiously.
was choked by a big hand as powerful as an iron hoop under the porthole.
Click!
didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy, so he was mercilessly twisted and broke his neck.
Before the chef's eyes went dark and his consciousness completely dissipated, only a cold voice without any waves was heard:
"Traitors deserve to die!"
But Byron, who had just climbed the pirate ship from the stern, happened to hear the last survivor of the merchant ship talking to himself.
Don't hesitate to make a decisive move.
Then he grabbed the chef's severed neck and dragged his entire upper body out of the porthole.
Seeing the kitchen knife he was still clutching in his hand, Byron knew that if he hadn't been decisive enough just now, he would have already hung the lottery.
Reaching out and snatching the kitchen knife, he cut a few deep bloody cuts on the chef's body without changing his face, and casually threw the body into the sea.
All the while watching each other disappear from the mouths of the swarming man-eating sharks.
Then he turned over and went through the porthole to the kitchen.
Picked up the chef's hat that the other party had dropped while struggling from the ground, flicked the dust off it, and put it on his head.
When he turned around, his deep eyes had a blue aura like the sea swaying, and Byron's temperament also changed dramatically between breathing.
It is his gift, [Cognitive Correction].
"I think in the current use scenario, it's actually more appropriate to call it [psychological transfiguration]."
He looked at his hands, obviously his appearance had not changed, but the chef's image, name, temperament... All the traits were corrected to him.
In the eyes of all who saw him, he was the chef, and Byron himself disappeared from this world completely.
It's like a person born with red-green color blindness, who can't find out that he is color blind until he is told about it.
"Although this status is not high, not as good as the first mate, second officer, helmsman, and gunner, but I am a newcomer.
I don't have the memory of communicating with pirates, and I don't have to inherit my original relationships.
It's the best person for me to integrate into the [Maneater] and take a ride. ”
Boom!
Just then, the kitchen door was slammed open from the outside, and a very young-looking pirate entered.
When he saw the figure wearing the chef's hat, he was slightly stunned, and then he greeted very naturally:
"The new chef, the great Captain Blood-Eyed is already waiting for you, come with me.
By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is? ”
The latter straightened his coat and hat and smiled kindly at the young pirate:
"Byron, my name is Byron Tudor."
