Chapter 113: Outlander, Can I Eat Your Brain?
In fact, from the very beginning, Byron was not surprised by the possibility that a second-order [dancer] of the temple sequence might make a move on him.
Before carrying out this mission, he had already spent a month on the road repeatedly studying the opponent's intelligence and doing a risk assessment.
The Newman family has been here several times.
The secret of the spices was not discovered, but the general information of the townspeople was collected.
The old priest stationed in the church, and the girl dancer who has been in the tavern for a long time, are all suspected second-order transcendents in the intelligence.
Externally, they are mainly the ones who come forward.
The only thing missing from the information was the unassuming, too deceptive Famine Hunter.
"The most fundamental principle of [Ladder of Glory] is to be dedicated.
A person's transcendent profession is his actual vocation in the social system and a part of the normal functioning of the entire human world.
If you want to be promoted, you must abide by your own professional norms and practice your job responsibilities.
Just look at the profession he makes cameos on weekdays, and then it is not difficult to reasonably deduce the enemy's extraordinary profession and core ability.
Coupled with my combat power that far surpasses that of the transcendents of the same level, as well as 'flexible' tactics, the risk of going deep into the enemy camp is completely controllable.
But, then again, I'm really looking forward to how Violet dances. β
Byron beckoned at the corpse on the ground.
"Call!"
Barking!
The shadow shook under his feet, and with the sound of two dogs barking with different sounds, a trace of the spirituality of the dancer Charlotte was instantly withdrawn and joined the [Wild Hunting Army] behind Byron.
After the [Royal Hound] Vincent, he became the second second-order transcendent after a long absence.
She is also the first woman to be extraordinary.
After becoming an undead acolyte, this beautiful girl still has a lively appearance, but she no longer has her own consciousness.
Following his instinct, after saluting to Byron, the master, he rushed into his body, possessed by a spirit!
The secrets she hid in her heart also flooded into Byron's mind with the torrent of memories.
"The crystal skulls dug up during the construction of the church have magical powers, and as long as they continue to sacrifice blood, they can bring a good harvest to all kinds of crops in this land
The priest who led everyone to get rich was actually a [Corona Priest] who was extremely devout to the Creator
In fact, it is not the two of them standing in the foreground who really master the core technology of artificial spices, but a [Famine Hunter]"
With the candor of one of the triumvirate dancers.
The core secret of this Taimanbrak Island immediately opened the corners of his skirt to Byron.
The spice vault, the vault, and even the method of opening the secret room in the church and the way of opening the guardian circle are all clear.
Although the alarm bells were still ringing in the night sky, the smile on Byron's face was getting thicker and thicker.
"It seems that I really picked up the treasure this time.
In addition to a windfall, my opportunity to be promoted to the second-order [Storm Knight] is tonight! β
He was about to activate the Blood Grail to recover Charlotte's corpse as well.
But seeing that Fang had just been completely hit, Gus, who had just come back to his senses, was squatting beside the dancer's disheveled corpse and was busy with something.
"Gus, what's the matter with you? Wait until I'm done with the ritual to collect the loot."
Before I finished speaking, I looked at it again.
Good guy, I thought this miser was touching the corpse for himself, but I didn't expect him to be really touching the corpse?!
And while touching, there are words in my mouth:
"It's a waste, it's a waste to kill it for nothing.
Beautiful girls are a scarcer resource than gold, especially since this is a second-order dancer who can be called the best.
Look at the little hands like orchids, the thin waist like willows, and the round and powerful thighs
Even now, I can't help but have bold ideas popping up in my head!
Captain, can you understand me? β
Byron could no longer listen to his increasingly lawless rhetoric.
Quickly flew up and kicked Gus in the ass, kicking the pervert away.
"Eh!"
Although Gus may not have heard the proverb "three years in the army, the sow races the sable".
But just refer to the real cases around you.
On a pirate ship, even sheep can't escape the pirates' poisonous hands, so you can imagine how cold these guys are.
Gus touched his ass and got up, and watched the dancer Charlotte melt away in a bloody light with great regret, and muttered in a low voice:
"This month, you have that Miss [Flower of the Northland] who has been in and out all day long, talking and laughing.
It's just that the full man doesn't know that we are hungry and the man is hungry. β
Even though the spiritual cultivation of the transcendent is far higher than that of ordinary people, Gus's eyes are full of bitterness for his captain's violent destruction of heavenly things.
until
After packing up the finishing touches, Byron reactivated the psychological transfiguration technique and turned into Charlotte's appearance.
"Hissββ!"
Stooping down and picking up a nautilus from the ground, it is also a low-level curiosity that can communicate over short distances.
Previously, after the [Famine Hunter] got the hint of the crystal skeleton, it was this strange thing that notified Charlotte, who was sleeping, to come and give her life.
Byron didn't give the wide-eyed fellow a chance to speak again, and commanded him directly:
"Gus, now we're going our separate ways.
I'm going to get my hands on the most valuable thing on the island before they find out the dancer's life gem is broken.
Probably because of the side effects of the Blood Sacrifice [Holy Relic], since the beginning of the Blood Sacrifice, no child has been born on this island.
None of the 115 people on the island are innocent who deserve redemption.
Go and do the work yourself. β
Byron himself may not have been a good man.
But as a lawful faction, he would at least slash at his enemies, and he would have to be the one above the wheels.
It's not like the pioneers on this island, who will attack anyone randomly and indiscriminately.
After a pause, he continued:
"And.
Gus, though you're ordinary-looking.
But as long as you have money and strength, even if it is the first time to go to a place like the Red Theater, you will pretend to shout: Give me a new batch.
Others will subconsciously think that you are a veteran of flowers, ignoring the fact that you are actually a chick. β
With the [Logbook] that can read the real history of others at any time, Byron's words are always so piercing.
Gus blushed and reached out, trying to make a final argument, trying to redeem the last of his dignity.
But the figure of "Charlotte" has long disappeared into the night
Not far away, Byron encountered a group of pioneers holding torches, muskets, swords, and crossbows.
It can be seen that these people are not bad for money at all, and the equipment in their hands is a high-end commodity of great value even in the old continent.
When you get to the Bantaan Islands, which are thousands of miles away, it is not a problem to pay a premium of two or three times on the original price.
From the memories of the dancers, these people are all "militia" who are searching for invaders in pieces.
Imagine if you were in your home country, with a happy family, a decent job, and friendly relatives and friends, would you be able to leave all this behind and go to a new world thousands of miles away?
Most of the pioneers of this period were criminals, bankrupts, and slaves who could not survive
Regardless of gender, all people are soldiers!
Many people may be extremely religious, but the so-called "good people" among believers may not be what most people think.
The object of gratitude will never be his true benefactor.
"Miss Charlotte, have you caught the intruder?"
Byron shook his head pretendedly:
"No, when I arrived here, I saw only the bountiful servants burning, not a single figure.
It seems a little unusual that the enemy was able to evade the warning of the lighthouse this time.
But since the invaders are coming for spices, I fear that they are suspicious, and the target is actually our Holy Relic.
You keep searching, and I'll go back and guard the Crystal Skull. β
The militiamen did not suspect him, and soon disappeared into the mountains and forests in droves.
Byron seized the opportunity to rush to the church.
Although the holy relics have magical powers, they are not indestructible, and if they lose their material carriers, no matter how thick the history they carry, they will have no effect.
In case of a fight later, it will be a big loss to destroy the baby.
Moreover, the group of people on the island is not short of money, and Charlotte and the other two transcendents naturally also purchased their own life gems.
He had just identified the other two through the Nautilus, one at the lighthouse trying to figure out the problem, and the other at the town's harbor trying to cut off the outsiders' retreat.
"It's to make a time difference when the other two second-order transcendents react.
I don't need to grab anything else, just grab the crystal skull, get the right to dispose of it, and hold it for three minutes, and my promotion ceremony will be completed easily. β
Along the way, they encountered several patrolling militia teams, each of which was lavishly staffed with at least one transcendent.
If Charlotte's status on the island wasn't high enough, it wouldn't be so easy to fool.
Bang!
In the church, the secret passage behind the silver cross was opened, and Byron rushed in.
The identification authority of the magic circle was also easily broken through by the soul of the dancer possessed in Byron's body.
He was also in the small secret room for the first time, and saw the evil skull with red eyes.
Within three meters, [Echoes of History] immediately read the surface information on the skull:
"[Cursed Thing: Thirteen Crystal Skulls No. 3].
There are thirteen relics of the Taya civilization.
Because of the long blood sacrifice that lasted for thousands of years, it gathered the knowledge contained in the brains of countless sacrifices, and gave birth to thirteen different magical powers.
They symbolize the thirteen types of knowledge related to the survival of the Taya people, as well as the thirteen natural spirits (gods) personified in the Taya deity.
Itsumna, the god of the sky, Chayak, the god of rain, Yum Kax, the god of corn, and Kniche Ava, the god of the sun
Even before the arrival of the Castilian colonists, the city-states of the Taya Empire had already begun to crumble, decline, and fall apart.
Thirteen relics were scattered.
One of them ended up on this small island, not far from the Taya Empire.
It symbolizes Yum Kax, the third-highest maize god in the divine tree, whose field of knowledge is agriculture and his powers are: life, prosperity and abundance. β
And just as Byron had just finished reading the surface information, the skeleton spoke again.
And changed the previous emotionless and flat voice, which seemed a little hurried:
"Outlander, I sense that you have a lot of advanced agricultural knowledge in your head that I never knew.
It seems to belong to an agricultural civilization that has reached its peak.
Can I eat your brain? May I? May I? β
