In order to make a competent revolver, there are no technical bottlenecks in this era.

The reason why it has not yet been invented is probably only a layer of window paper and a flash of inspiration from a certain craftsman.

Of course, if Byron suddenly dies one day, spirituality falls into the collective human subconscious.

The knowledge in his head is likely to bring a feast of artisans and naturalists all over the world.

"The easiest way for the transcendents of the [Ladder of Glory] to advance quickly is undoubtedly to make achievements in their own professional field.

Contribute to the collective of humanity as a whole.

The dualistic theory of bestiality and divinity in the mouth of the crystal skull can provide another piece of evidence.

Violet is a craftsman, especially a gunsmith who focuses on thermal weapons such as guns and gunpowder.

If you can lead a gun revolution.

Harvesting a powerful relic that kicks an arquebus or flintlock pistol to the ground is only the most insignificant benefit.

This kind of general-purpose knowledge that is enough to change the mode of war once again is completely sufficient to promote to a high order.

Of course, the most critical of these is the need to solve the problems of fire caps, thunder mercury and fixed ammunition, which should not be difficult for her. ”

Money can buy a lot of excellent equipment, but you definitely can't buy the best equipment, let alone epoch-making equipment.

Now Byron had a territory, a pirate general, and the covert support of the Newman family, the local governor.

Sooner or later, Greenville will have to develop its own military industry.

But after thinking about it, Byron decided to put aside the invitation to Violet for the time being.

Now that the ocean-going fleet has just arrived in the Bantaan Islands, neither he nor Catherine have gained a foothold, and it is not too late to plan for military affairs when they have settled down.

Anyway, the communication between the two of them has never been interrupted during this time.

Although the instant messaging of [Echo Conch] is only 1,000 kilometers, the distance of the message is not limited.

Walked over to the old man with an extra bullet hole in the middle of his eyebrows.

He reaped the spirit and transmutation of the priesthood, leaving behind only a pile of equipment on the ground: crossbows, poisoned daggers, potent potions, tripping horse spikes

made Byron, a self-proclaimed dirty-hearted guy, couldn't help but be secretly speechless.

I said in my heart: I still have a lot to learn from the old-timers.

He had limited space in his fanny pack, except for picking up the Mithril Cross emblem that had to be given to Catherine in the first place.

silently put away the bottle of potent drug, ready to take it back and criticize it.

Walking out of the door of the church, looking at the scattered fires in the distance, his face became cold a little:

"What's the most important thing about a family?

Of course, it has to be neat. ”

Whoosh——!

A red firework burst into the sky from the square in the middle of the town and exploded in the air, making it clear to all the militia who were still searching the island.

"It's an urgent call for help."

"The attackers are in town, quick, let's go back to support!"

Scattered militia groups held torches aloft and rushed back to the town from all directions like dragons.

But when they reached the small square in the center of the town where the signal had been given, they saw no enemy, only a steady stream of companions rushing back.

In a short time, all the remaining pioneers on the island were gathered here.

Hundreds of torches also illuminate the small square.

Everyone turned their heads and ears for a while, but they didn't know why.

"Not only is there no trace of battle, there is no trace of the enemy, even the three second-order transcendents don't know where they have gone."

"I always felt that tonight's events were weird everywhere."

"So far, I haven't seen the shadow of the enemy, so you think there must be an evil spirit landing on the island, right?

Could it be that we killed too many passers-by? ”

These words made everyone else say it with a chill on their backs.

Suddenly, someone shouted:

"What do you think is going on on this earth?

How did anyone draw such a big 'x' here with charcoal?

I remember very well that when we first set out to search the mountains and forests, there must have been no such symbol here. ”

Everyone looked down at their feet, and sure enough, they found two thick crossed black lines.

Just when they're confused.

Suddenly, someone noticed that there was a sudden fire shining on the originally dark sea in the distance, and then there was a roar in the ears, and there was a roar in the air.

"That's the ship's artillery !!"

Just like the principle of darkness under the lamp, the torches above everyone's heads illuminate the eyes, but it is even more difficult to see the pitch-black sea in the distance.

After all the sentinels had been dealt with by Byron and Gus, no one noticed that a pirate ship had crept to shore.

"Run!"

Their screams were all out of tune, and they wanted to flee in all directions, but it was too late.

One by one, the shells had already crashed down on them in the form of projectiles, and then exploded on the spot.

Countless pieces of rubble swept across an area of tens of meters like a storm.

That's right, this time the [Golden Deer] used not cast iron bullets, but stone bullets!

This time the target is different, unlike a battleship at sea, there is no need to think about the problem of breaking through the hull.

Stone bullets are only more powerful than cast iron bullets.

There is also Wyandott, the [gunnery expert], who is responsible for aiming at such a large fixed target, and there is no possibility of missing the target at all.

The few survivors, who had suffered heavy losses and were scarred, managed to escape from the shelling and ran head-on into a musket team that was waiting for them.

"Fire!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After another round of death volleys, the boatswain Eight Fingers raised a battle axe of the Wanfolk who had killed more than ten people, and roared:

"Draw your sword, charge!"

The first to rush forward.

"Kill!"

"None of them will be left!"

With the exception of the ship's artillery crew, everyone else went ashore to join the Marines and beat the water dogs.

Even if there were still a few first-order transcendents with good skills, they were targeted by Byron and Gus, who were in charge of escorting them.

The gang also gave them a surprise.

Overseas, the Church no longer has the power to control Forbidden Knowledge and related creations.

This item can be sold openly in all major colonial cities.

Many transcendents who originally followed the rules gradually broke through the original sequence, forming a strange and unguardable fighting style.

The largest number and the easiest thing is to equip a variety of amulets.

[Mithril Talisman] and [Black Tin Talisman] made of transcendent metal;

[Wild Talisman] carved from the teeth or bones of beasts; There is also a [Fish Bone Talisman] made of sea crickets and various demonized fish bones

All of them were eye-opening for Byron.

But no matter how strange the abilities of this group of people are, they are all clearly seen in the logbook, and there is no one who can escape the net.

Gus, after being stimulated by Byron, is now also motivated.

Constantly absorbing the sense of existence of the militia, unswervingly advancing towards the second order.

"At the second level, I can control visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, hallucinations, and finally my sense of existence.

At that time, even if you have a public face, what can you do?

As soon as the Phantom Blade opened, I was the most handsome man in the entire Red Theater.

Not only does it cost nothing, but you might even be able to make a lot of money from the ladies who are having fun. ”

And with the completion of the raid, Eight Fingers and Little Hans were also successfully promoted to [Bayfolk Berserker] and [Craftsman] respectively.

Byron's strength skyrocketed in an instant.

Immediately, the [Golden Deer] docked.

Byron led people to search most of the island's vaults, treasure chests, and spice vaults according to the memories of those undead acolytes

The 7,000 pound golden ticket awarded by the York family was not so fragrant in front of these trophies at once.

According to preliminary estimates in the logbook, the value of this batch of booty has exceeded at least 50,000 gold pounds.

A Golden Deer simply can't fit it.

Byron sent a part of his men, led by Bruch, to take away all the brigs that the Castilian had moored on the shore.

Before leaving, the wooden buildings on the island and the spice forest covered with traces of artificial cultivation were all burned to the ground.

Make sure that no more clues are left about "artificial fragrance cultivation techniques".

In the end, Byron summoned the evil spirit of Bloody Mary again with a cup of [Bloody Mary].

Let it help block possible follow-up divination.

added another layer of insurance to the [Storm Ring], which was already immune to divination.

Standing at the stern of the ship, looking at the burning island, Byron summed up the mission as follows:

"It's a successful infiltration battle, undetected by anyone, it's just perfect!"

Just as he was about to order the two boats to return at full speed, a quarrel suddenly came from his pocket:

"Cursed Thing, you have pressed my face! Can't you just get away? ”

Another pale voice, devoid of any emotion, responded:

The answer is: no, because I don't have feet.

Now it's my turn to ask, why don't you have hair, is it because you don't like it? ”

"Head hair? Ah——!h I'll kill you! ”

"If you answer incorrectly, please accept the death judgment."

Byron patted his head and almost forgot that in addition to the treasure worth 50,000 pounds, he had the biggest harvest in his hand that had not been opened.
