In mid-November, strong winds and high sea conditions occurred frequently in the North Sea, and it was no longer seaworthy.

Except for those navy cruisers and privateer pirates who were in a hurry to flee for their lives some time ago, they dared to risk their lives to break through in the coastal area.

Any pirate ship below the rank of four ships daring to set sail at this time would be tantamount to putting half of its life under the scythe of death.

It's just that there are exceptions to everything.

On this day, a three-masted galleon carrying the black background blood cross flag of the Kingdom of Hattings quietly appeared on the rough sea.

He even rode the biting wind on the broadside of the sea, cleaving the waves and shooting like an arrow at a speed that was unmatched by other pirate ships of the same era.

Even if the iconic pirate flag isn't hoisted.

But the unique flat deck design and vertical and horizontal sail outfit can also be recognized at a glance by peers who have seen it.

This is the [Golden Deer] that bid farewell to the Bay Princess Violet and embarked on a journey again.

[World's Fastest Three-Mated Ship] Title Effects:

"It can be increased by an additional 20% on the basis of the designed normal speed, and the impact of bad weather such as high waves, strong winds, and heavy rain can be reduced by 20% (Chapter 61)."

A big wave for someone else, but only a medium wave for it.

At this time, the North Sea may have been a forbidden area for other small ships, but it is the back garden where the Golden Deer can come and go freely.

"The wind direction changes, the course corrects a compass point to the east, and the windward side is adjusted."

"As ordered, the sailor adjusts to the windward side."

Byron himself held the steering wheel and steered his beloved sailing ship like a knight "riding" on the north wind.

Challenging the wind and waves that others dare not challenge is in line with the path and career motto of [Storm Knight], and the spirituality in the body is growing all the time.

Although the increase is extremely small, it has gone from 4.2 to the first-order limit of 5 points.

If others can be like him, experience those thrilling events and survive smoothly, they can also "the rest is king" by leaps and bounds.

"Thrust!"

"Cut!"

In the loud cheers, it can be seen that in addition to the sail sailors who perform their duties, there is also a group of elite pirates of the Marine Corps, who are lining up in a neat queue to practice [Fisher's Sword Cutting Technique].

In the bitter cold wind, although they all took off their shirts, their bare chests were still steaming, and almost formed a white mist on the top of their heads.

The sword in his hand was as bright as a white wave, and the piercing murderous aura was colder than the north wind.

Byron was not idle at Iron Anchor Bay during this time.

Taking advantage of the vacuum period when many captains were killed and wounded and the pirate ship capsized, the sailors on board were replenished to a full 100 men.

The Marine Corps, which accounts for half of the total personnel, is finally beginning to take shape.

And Byron repeatedly confirmed that there were no spies planted by any other forces, and the initial loyalty was all above the passing line.

Reading a person's history is not to directly read his thoughts, but to give a quantitative evaluation of what he has done.

It can also be called: Deeds do not care about the heart.

Quantified data is not set in stone.

For example, if you secretly scold the captain, or turn a blind eye to something that harms the captain's interests, etc., it will be reflected in the numerical value.

There's no such thing as a loyalty lock-in.

In addition, although there are still no transcendents in this group of pirates, most of them are creative talents with the possibility of spiritual awakening.

Byron looked at them and nodded in satisfaction:

"In addition to myself, there are also [Guardian Knights] Ironwall Bruch and [Phantom Blade] Gus, who is anchored to me and will not suddenly disappear.

With these two transcendents who can never betray me, I am escorted and formed a core team that wields the highest force.

No matter how many new crew members come, no matter how unruly their personalities are, they can't make any waves.

Moreover, that transmutation blood refined by the third-order magistrate was indeed extraordinary.

Just by adding an extra drop to the original [Angel's Kiss], the honest man Eight Fingers, the indigenous gunner Wyandot, and the carpenter Hans achieved spiritual breakthroughs one after another.

All that needs to be done is to help them complete the promotion ceremony. ”

After the end of the war, Byron continued to "snowball" with the forbidden knowledge he had.

Transform the harvest in Iron Anchor Bay into tangible power.

Kill enemies, brew bloodbrew, strengthen your group, and in turn, hunt stronger enemies to brew higher quality bloodbrew

The strength of the [Golden Deer] suddenly ushered in a round of high-speed explosion.

There are three prerequisites for becoming a transcendent: spiritual ascension, prerequisites, and inauguration.

But these three guys have taken three different career paths, a [Bayfolk Berserker], a [Gunner] and a [Craftsman].

The ritual medium of demand varies.

The simplest of the Eight Fingers requires a copy of the Ten Commandments of Pirates and a Wanmin Tomahawk that has slashed at least ten people as a medium.

Wyandott needed a book of his own notes on artillery, condensing all his insights from studying artillery, and reflecting his own insights.

Little Hans, the craftsman, needed to make a different and more useful "micro-creation" from his predecessors.

Or to contribute to a new invention and to accomplish its mission with it.

"The good news is that the [Golden Deer], as a pirate ship, can fully satisfy the promotion ceremony of all of them.

All that is left is an overwhelming raid.

Let the honest man have eight fingers to the last hearty five-person chop; Wyandot hit the enemy ship three times in a row, and the discontinuity needs to be recalculated;

Little Hans didn't have to do anything, and when others were working, he just had to stay on the ship honestly and make sure he wasn't killed.

As long as the Golden Deer can successfully make a vote and play the role of a pirate ship, he can be promoted at any time.

Next, there should be no chance to hold a ceremony in the Hattings mainland, and you can only find another opportunity on the way to the Bantaan Islands in a group. ”

Byron pulled a letter out of his pocket.

Above is his reply stamped by the Admiralty after he applied for a privateer permit in the name of [Executioner] Bill.

All privateers and would-be privateers who have not yet obtained privateering permits are required to converge at Felixstowe, the nearest port to Kingston.

Then they joined the naval warships that had gone to the colonies to change their defenses, the merchant ships of the kingdom, the colonial ships, and the nobles who had gone to the territory to form a combined fleet and go to the Bantaan Islands together.

And at that time, the Admiralty will also identify an indefinite number of pirate generals and grant the right to form individual privateer fleets.

With Executioner Bill's prestige in the Redbeard's fleet and privateers, there is a great deal of hope for the status of a pirate general.

"Downwind for broadside!"

Heading south, the Golden Deer soon crossed the Markelfraga Lighthouse, the northernmost point of the Channel Islands, and entered the offshore waters of the Heights Kingdom.

They also hung the flag sent by the Navy Headquarters with the letter on the first oblique truss.

As long as this flag is in place, the pirate ships that go to the rendezvous will not be attacked by any navy, whether they are wanted or not, and they are still qualified to swagger into the capital area.

Of course, it also means that your ship is the mobile land of the Hattings, and the [Legalists] have the power of life and death!

Dogs must be leashed, the York family is not a philanthropist, and they are afraid that they will be eaten by these lawless guys.

It's a pity that the criminal group [Golden Deer], led by extralegal fanatics, is a wolf who has long been black-hearted.

At this point, the proximity to the land has finally reduced the wind and waves, and other merchant ships engaged in short-distance transportation between the island's ports can be seen gradually.

Moving on, it was almost noon and we were approaching a landmark bustling port in the north of the Channel Islands.

Even if the speed of thirteen knots was always maintained, it would take a whole day to reach the royal capital from here.

However, Byron suddenly ordered:

"Stop the ship, sail the brakes!"

Pulling the swivel, all the sails kept the wind balanced, allowing the Golden Deer to come to rest quietly on the sparkling sea.

Byron walked to the bulwark in cashmere, and quietly looked at the scenery on the shore, his eyes were far away.

In the blue eyes of the sea, the port city in front of him and the mountains behind him are reflected, and he is reluctant to move away.

Nostalgia is mixed with memories and mutters:

"The Galt Highlands are mountainous with endless forests and gently undulating low green grasses and mosses.

In the summer, the sun likes to linger for a long time at sunrise and sunset, with some of the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets in the world.

In winter, the day becomes a brief moment of contact between dawn and dusk, and no matter how much you keep it, you can't keep it."

Bruch also walked silently to his side, equally distracted.

Because this land on the shore is nowhere else, it is the Prince of Sorenburg!

It is also where Byron and Bruch grew up together.

Although the family has lived in the royal capital for most of the year in recent years, even the busy Prince of Sorenburg returns to his domain every summer.

There are towering castles, bouncing foals, and green pastures with no end in sight

But things are not people, but my uncle, father, and cousin Edward, who often comes here to play, are all gone.

There is one last loved one left here!

And the one who cried to the adults: "Why does Byron have a little tweet, I want it too, I want it too." ”

Let Byron be beaten in vain, and since then he has never bathed with him and walked the bird's childhood sweetheart.

If the violent woman who was nicknamed "Dog Sees Sorrow" and "Child King" in her childhood can also be called Qingmei.

Byron's memories are endlessly beautiful, but the only thing close in front of them is their hometown, which they can never return to.

Suddenly.

"Captain, look at the ship in the harbor."

Byron looked in the direction Bruch was pointing.

Among the many ships moored outside of Sorrenburg, one stands out from the crowd.

A large white sail depicts a silver cross with a crown on its head.

That's the hallmark of the church.

This is not surprising, as the most powerful force on the entire continent, the tentacles that this behemoth has spread out are naturally everywhere.

The key is the flag hanging on the mast, which is a burning stake with iron nails nailed!

"Is that the Inquisition? How did you come across this bunch of crazy people?! ”

Byron's heart pounded.
