Chapter 41: The First Entry: The Reviser of History
"Where the hell is my Maxima?"
Until he followed Gus into the largest slave guild in the harbor, Byron was still troubled by his group of crooked melons and cracked dates.
The misfortunes of indentured slaves vary, and the life of a pirate certainly has its own joys and sorrows.
There are usually three motivations for a person to make up their minds to be a pirate.
One is the extreme poverty and the darkness of the future, which is really unsurvivable; The other is the desire for wealth, power, and class breakout;
The last one is the criminals on the mainland who are really desperate!
It is precisely because every transcendent profession has its own motto and professional norms.
[Lawyer], [Punishment Knight], [Warden] of the Inquisition Sequence... Even the Referee Knights of the Church will not miss any opportunity to get promoted.
will definitely bite those criminals to the death and hunt them down to the ends of the earth.
Since ancient times, the vast sea has been the safest refuge for criminals.
Normally, the second and third motivations often merge together to become the main force in the pirate community.
It is almost impossible to find the kind of "good family" that the army loves most when selecting soldiers.
There is no organization and no discipline.
may have good strength and dare to fight and kill, but even if resources and knowledge are not limited, it is almost impossible to train a strong army with an iron will in Byron's memory.
Byron didn't want to be a vegetarian and take in all kinds of people on the ship.
"As the seed of the pirate group in the future, the quality of the original personnel is especially important.
Maybe I should just find a bunch of blank sheets of paper and start from scratch for a year and a half? ”
If Byron were given a definition of his own pattern of behavior, he felt that "orderly evil" might be appropriate.
Willing to be an egoist according to certain rules, when one's own interests conflict with others, he will not hesitate to choose to sacrifice others.
But it will also maintain order and stability, and will work to establish rules and laws that are in line with its own interests.
In the future, the crew of the [Golden Deer] will not be able to say anything, at least it can't be a "chaotic evil" who will only look for trouble.
"What are you looking at? Eight fingers? Gus? ”
Byron looked up, and suddenly found that Eight Fingers and Gus, who had been following him, had all stopped unconsciously.
Following their gaze, they found that this slave guild, which had many trading companies, sold more than just slaves.
Entering the main entrance of the slave guild, it turned out to be a bustling commercial street.
On both sides of the wide road, there are all kinds of shops in the minimalist Northland style.
As far as the eye can see, there are contraband as defined by the Church and the Kingdom.
Hallucinogens, potent poisons, powerful military weapons, small hidden arrows for assassination, all kinds of explosives...
There are even many transcendent potions that are clearly made with forbidden knowledge.
There is no need to use [Echoes of History], they are all clearly written on their labels.
【Wandering Witch's Heightening Potion:
Can allow adults to continue to grow taller, a bottle of potion can increase the height by five centimeters, but at the same time as the increase in height can not be synchronized with weight gain, please be careful to distribute your own mass. 】
【Wandering Witch's Slimming Potion:
Effective only for women, a bottle of potion can make you lose ten pounds of flesh in three days, but, the parts of the slimming are random. 】
【Wandering Witch's Iron Cannon Potion:
Effective only for men, the red pill can make a certain part of the body very energetic throughout the day.
Same random! Maybe you can get an indestructible... Tongue or fingers? 】
【......】
There are many more similar potions, and the main thing is that one is powerful and unpredictable.
For a moment, Byron couldn't tell whether this was the effect of a potion or a side effect of the punishment mechanism.
To say that they are potions is not so much a side effect display of forbidden knowledge.
Byron was so skeptical that what brave man he was to drink such a thing?
However, as he continued to read, he realized that it wasn't these things that attracted Eight Fingers and Gus, but a list posted on the wall.
Charles Rich List (this positioning: Luwana County, Iris Kingdom)
10th place: Doyle Harvey, spice merchant, director of the thyme trading company, 23,800 pounds;
9th place: Clemens Walter, Lord, lucky noble heir, 25,100 pounds;
8th place: Bart Clark, the shipowner, owns two ocean-going merchant ships of his own, and the family property is 29,300 pounds;
7th place: Thomas Wayne..."
The honest man looked at the dizzying numbers on it, wiped the saliva that was about to flow to the corners of his mouth, and muttered to himself:
"It turns out that there are so many rich people in just one county, they must be very diligent and hard-working, right?"
Although it is not the first time he has seen the rich list, he still can't move every time he sees it.
The face full of poverty was full of envy:
"This list changes every week, a new region, a new group of rich people.
But no matter how poor and remote the place is, as long as it is on the list, I can't climb it.
I don't know when I'll be on the list? ”
Byron shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of the two of them, and poured a basin of cold water on them by the way:
"Hey, come back to your senses!
Don't look at what kind of place it is.
Since the so-called rich list is posted in Iron Anchor Bay, it is no longer a rich list, but a serious pig killing list!
Praise them for their hard work? Can I replace it? Hey, you two are really unqualified to be pirates, it's a shame for the profession. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand to stop a fierce pirate passing by, pointed to the list and asked him:
"Dude, what was your first thought when you saw this rich list?"
"Nonsense, of course ... Robbed these fat sheep! ”
The man looked at Byron pitifully like a fool, shook his head, and turned away.
Byron then turned around and spread his hands at the two sluggish young men.
"You see, that's the normal reaction of a pirate.
In fact, the magnates and transcendents of all countries know that this [First-Class Holy Relic Charles's Rich List], which is very famous on the East Coast, is also called the [Legendary Fat Sheep List].
Once belonged to the Pirate King of the North Sea [Whale Hunter], it is now ruled by the Captain's Council of Iron Anchor Bay.
Every week, the names of some of the richest people in a random area will be displayed, and the higher the rank of the sequence, the smaller the possibility of being on the list.
It has been used as a business guide for pirates.
With each vanilla update, the Captains' Council of Ironanchor Cove will post a transcript of it throughout Ironanchor Cove, making it easier for them to choose which to raid. ”
"This thing, of course, is undoubtedly a [holy relic] for the pirates of Iron Anchor Bay, and it can guide them to make a fortune.
But for the rich people on the list, there is no doubt that it is a cursed thing.
Even if there is no curse of supernatural ability itself, it is enough to be frightened enough to expose one's own property to countless hungry wolves in every detail.
About one-fifth of them disappeared from this world in less than a year after they made the list.
And I heard that 45% of the richest people on the list in the world are Remet. ”
Eight Fingers and Gus couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and finally had a more intuitive understanding of the dangers of the otherworld.
There are some things in this world that are far more secret and more difficult to guard against than guns and swords.
Whether it was Gus, who had some knowledge, or Eight Fingers, he didn't dare to point fingers at the things here casually, and followed Byron's side closely.
However, after Byron popularized the knowledge of the [Holy Relic] for them, they turned to look forward to when they would be able to get a powerful [Holy Relic] of their own.
And Byron looked at the first entry [History Corrector] that he had successfully activated after he took office as [Storm Knight].
And how it works:
"One, the anchor on your body is more stable.
Objects with whom you have an anchor connection will also be more likely to be swept into the whirlpool of history with you, approaching all kinds of unknowns and secrets.
Of course, if the [Anchor] is strong enough and there are enough, it may be able to pull you out of the vortex directly!
2. As compensation, when participating in hidden events with historical influence of more than 30.
You can summon a one-time [Holy Relic] related to a region or nation from history at any time to help you correct your history.
The higher the level of decryption, the stronger the effect of the [Holy Relic]! ”
Secretly said in my heart:
"Actually, it may not be that difficult to get a [Holy Relic]."
That's just at this time.
Byron suddenly stopped in front of a familiar shop called the Palme d'Or Trading Company.
He frowned, staring at the door for a moment, somewhat uncertain.
Finally, I couldn't help but look for the fleeting throbbing in my heart just now, and walked in.
