The next day.

Entering the first circulation zone during the day, the fog dissipated a lot, but the visibility was still not high.

[Weather Instinct] told Byron that it would not be back to normal until about tonight.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Swords clash, sparks splashing.

In the hazy mist, two dexterous people leaped like dragons between the high sails and rigging of the [Golden Deer].

Sen Han's sword light flickered, killing secrets, but it was full of elegant and deadly beauty.

One of them is naturally Byron, although the [White Frost] in his hand does not recite the cutting inscription, it is still a sword with broken hair.

The other is not the same rank as his Guardian Knight [Iron Wall] Bruch.

It's Catherine, Earl of Greenville [Flower of the Northland].

She wore a crisp white blouse with flower-sleeved sleeves, a buckskin belt that cinches the perfect waist and hips, and slim-fitting beige cashmere trousers that frame a pair of explosive tight thighs.

The long, slightly curly pale blonde hair was tied up high in a neat ponytail.

Equipped with the half-body silver armor and Mithril rapier transformed by the [Mithril Hand], it is cold and glamorous, and heroic.

Adventures at sea may sound thrilling, but if you are really there, you will get bored sooner or later when you look at the boundless sea in front of you.

Inspired by Wyndotte's promotion to [Gunner's Expert], the crew of the Golden Deer was extremely enthusiastic about their cultivation.

Whenever he had free time during the voyage, he would ask the pirate officers for Fisher's swordsmanship, and strive to establish merit so that he could also become one of the transcendents.

Captain Byron was the same.

Strike while the iron is hot, practice swords every day, and want to touch the higher realm of the knight's fundamental skill [Swordsmanship Mastery] in a short period of time.

Bruch, who had just disguised himself as Bill, had been defeated by the countess, who had come with some itchy hands.

Whether the Golden Deer can get back to the field depends on Byron.

Although the countess's rosy lips were slightly open at this time, and her towering chest was undulating, and she was obviously a little panting, her lake-green eyes were exceptionally bright.

In a voice that only two people could hear, he was very relieved:

"I haven't seen you for a while, not only is the transcendent path fast and steady, but this swordsmanship has also improved a lot.

Again, if you can go ten more minutes undefeated today, I'll grant you the request you made when you rolled around in my room in the morning. ”

Byron immediately came to his senses when he heard this, and with her words, he was not in vain in the image of his sacrifice.

"That's what you said."

Catherine, on the other end of the boom, had already stabbed her sword head-on.

"Take it! If you go to Bantaan, you will meet the Castilian sooner or later, so get used to it in advance now, and eat my Castilian national art [Supreme Swordsmanship]! ”

She habitually wields a [swift sword].

Sacrifices most of his slashing abilities for unmatched attack range and stabbing speed, allowing him to cut through almost any sword-made defensive circle.

And the most dangerous stabbing blow, once it hits the torso or head, will go deep into the internal organs or brain, and cannot be cured unless the [doctor] or [priest] in the sequence is called for.

But on the battlefield, such weapons are almost completely absent.

Because the main function of the swift sword is self-defense and duel.

At the beginning, it was not without swift swordsmen who did not believe in evil and wanted to show their skills on the battlefield.

But they soon found that the slender and swift sword in their hands, with only the tip of the sword open, was a waste.

Not to mention piercing the simplest hard leather armor on the enemy's body, you can't even kill yourself.

Once you encounter Fisher's sword like a machete head-on, it is not uncommon for her to be cut off by a sword.

Of course, swordsmanship has evolved to the present, and every swift sword swordsman who appears on the battlefield is a master.

Every swift sword that can appear on the battlefield must be the best of the best, and even many of them are wonders.

Like Catherine and the Mithril Rapier in her hand.

Whew——!

The thrust, which was supposed to be the easiest to dodge, was used by Catherine, but it was as fast as a meteor, making Byron feel like a great enemy.

Lifting the spirit of 120,000 points, he turned his wrist to parry, and after removing the blade from the side, he reflexively slashed on the narrow boom.

But his footwork, sword moves, and distance all seemed to be turned into statistics, and fell into Catherine's calculations, making every attack and defense extremely uncomfortable for him.

[Mithril Knight] can reduce ten meetings with one wealth, and break ten thousand laws with one wealth.

Even if the swordsmanship is sparse, it does not hinder their strength.

Moreover, Catherine, who has received one-on-one elite training from her tutor since she was a child, is already very good at swordsmanship.

She used the [Supreme Technique] that circulated in the Kingdom of Castile, also known as the [Geometric Sword Technique].

All attacks and defenses are centered on the "Marichesky Circle", and every movement, attack, and defense follows a designed route.

Facing the enemy with this kind of swordsmanship is not only a contest of courage and skill, but also a mathematical competition that tests intelligence.

[Supreme Technique] complements her, a transcendent person majoring in economics and finance, who is best at dealing with numbers.

Even if Catherine has never stepped into the next level of [Sword Mastery], she can give full play to her potential in the "flow" realm.

With swordsmanship and amazing computing power, he did this perfectly.

Without using the transformation ability of the Mithril Hand, it also suppressed Fisher's sword-slashing technique, which Byron could only use publicly.

[Supreme Swordsmanship] is undoubtedly worthy of its name, and it is the undisputed king of the one-on-one duel arena!

However, when Byron stared at the countdown displayed in the logbook, sweating and struggling to support himself, he suddenly felt a light pressure on the other side.

He looked over with some confusion.

Catherine, who was drenched in sweat and a strand of hair stuck to her lips, winked at him with bright lake-green eyes:

"I don't have the strength, let's tie it.

I promised you. ”

Byron's heart was hot, and he knew that what Bruch said was right, as long as he begged her, Catherine's sister would be soft-hearted every time.

This woman is a hopeless "brother demon", who will try her best to meet all the requirements of her brother every time, and will take extra care of his face.

Although the creatures of the Fudi Demon are not likable in most cases.

But

Hey? I'm the little brother, and that's fine.

Seeing the joy on Byron's face, Catherine kicked him in the shin angrily:

"Let's talk about it first, my brother is settling accounts, and all my net worth and even the dowry are here.

If you accidentally lose it, you have to be responsible for supporting me for the rest of my life! ”

Byron nodded and smiled as he took the new county of Greenville, the supreme administration of the 264-square-kilometer Tayman Islands, from her hand.

The same standard county, if placed on the Old Continent, is only about 35 square kilometers.

Relatively speaking, the territory exchange initiated by York is not so ugly.

Byron backhanded another invitation to Catherine:

"My dear sister, how about being the chief financial officer of my governor's palace?"

Catherine instinctively felt that something was wrong with this part-time job process.

But when Byron said, "I don't feel at ease if you don't have the financial power." ”

He immediately said beautifully and reservedly:

"Then I'll think about it."

When Byron went on to say, "Give you an extra salary, according to the hourly wage", his eyes immediately lit up, and he readily agreed:

"When does the salary start counting? I can go to work right now. ”

The moment he agreed, he avoided the side effects of his henchmen.

Catherine was a year and two months older than Byron.

In fact, she is only 19 years old, and in the eyes of Byron, who has lived an extra life, she is just a very coaxing little girl.

Enjoying her meticulous care, there is always an inexplicable sense of guilt.

Looking up at the blue sky, I just want to say that my sister is so fragrant at this time!

When the hungry two people returned to the captain's room after training, Eight Fingers, who was working as a part-time cook on the ship, brought a table of squid feast.

"Captain, Earl, please slow down."

Squid sashimi, crispy fried squid, sizzling squid, fried squid, squid balls

The high-quality raw materials on the sea monster's body, and then made according to Byron's recipe, are all full of color and flavor, which makes people can't help but appetize.

At the end of the battle yesterday, Byron drank a glass of [Frost Margaret], and a frost breath froze the squid whiskers he caught.

Before arriving in the tropical Bantaan Islands, it will not thaw if you throw it directly onto the deck.

It's just that no one knows whether there is any saliva in that mouthful of frost breath.

Anyway, Catherine ate with relish.

With a cup of [Bloody Mary] that Byron prepared for her that would not age within a year, she was eating and drinking and chattering to Byron:

"In the past two days, when the noble ladies in the fleet have held a banquet, I will help you promote the title of [Sea Hunter].

As long as the upper echelons unify the title, your new title will be fixed.

In addition, you can keep all your [Bloody Mary] for me to drink, so you don't have to give it away.

Didn't you say that the Blood Thirsty Order was also active in the Bantaan Islands?

It's hard to guarantee that they're going to use this thing to go the upper route in addition to working with the Yorks, so it's always right for us to be careful. ”

Sea Hunter is Byron's new title, short for Sea Monster Hunter, and he gave it to himself.

Byron was afraid that others would give him a strange name such as Squid Butcher and Squid Master, so he first attacked to guide public opinion through Catherine's mouth.

In the area of legends, only propaganda is not enough, but no publicity is even more impossible.

Of course, on the basis of the one he already has a title [Wild Hunt], the new title can no longer be tricked when accumulating legend degrees.

The deeds of the title can only follow the title, and the deeds you use to do the deeds and the legendary degree you get naturally belong to a specific title.

The 20 Legendary Points required to obtain Extraordinary Strength will need to be recalculated.

(0-10) From one person to one village and one town; (10-20) From one city to one place to an entire region.

The influence of [Wild Hunt] is all over the coast of the North Sea, and [Sea Hunter] must at least make the first circulation zone known to everyone.

This is a long-term goal, and it has to be done in order to separate the two identities.

The upside is that the ability to associate titles can be combined with each other to form a more powerful title in the future, simplifying the complexity.

And if he wants to quickly increase his legend level and make a name for himself in a new territory, Byron must always chase the storm and dance on the tip of the sword.

Security is another issue.

The seven pirate generals all operate independently and are responsible for the kingdom, and there is only the Admiralty above, and there is no specific person in charge.

In the case of public to public, there is naturally no way to talk about "henchmen".

Unless Byron could follow the original plan and present Edward IV with copper plates and nails, and have a direct relationship with him.

Otherwise, before that, he didn't even have a thigh that he could hold tightly.

When he had had eaten and drunk, and had sent Catherine back to her own ship, Byron looked at the sea and sighed:

"Alas, my beloved Captain Blood-Eyed Salman and Captain Red-Bearded Edward have died heroically for my henchmen.

Without a shield, there is no sense of security in this sea of crises.

Every time in the dead of night, I can't help but remember the sound and smile of those two captains! ”

At this moment, he suddenly saw a small boat rowing quickly from the flagship [Support] towards him.

A naval officer holding the flag of the commander of the fleet was waving enthusiastically to him.

The face is full of unjust temperament that can't be concealed.
