"Sail the boat, Bruch will go to Tyman Island in advance with the booty to give us a front station, and then we will share the spoils later.

The Golden Deer: Come back with me to join the Grand Fleet.

Remember, we've never left the ocean-going fleet, let alone come here! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Byron ordered the crew, whose eyes were shining and smiling, to leave the ship at once.

He walked into the captain's room alone, closed the door, and created another spiritual barrier, before reopening the waist bag that had been arguing all along.

At the bottom of the fanny pack, in addition to the crystal skull that had just been thrown in, lay a whalebone amulet.

The bone amulet is carved with a tombstone bearing the name of Jack-of-all-trades Franklin Joshuael.

There is also an epitaph engraved under the name: "Privacy, tell me about yours!" ”

This is exactly the [Moss Tombstone] that I got in Iron Anchor Bay.

"Effect: Humanity completely vanished, leaving only the knowledge of a naturalist and a strong desire to snoop.

You can ask it a question, but you must also answer it honestly.

If you answer, it may spread your secrets to those around you in the form of spiritual broadcasts or dreams.

If you can't answer, you will be cursed with a first-order instant death, and if you fail to answer, you will die on the spot.

If left unchecked, after a while, when he kills enough people, it will most likely become a new curse. ”

It was the sound of conversation between the crystal skeleton and the rotting moss tombstone.

Some time ago when he was in Iron Anchor Bay, the rotten moss tombstone has been used by Byron to prostitute all kinds of insider information and privacy of the privateer alliance.

Relying on the ability of the [Storm Ring] to be immune to curses, it has always refused to answer the questions it says will kill people if they are not careful.

[Jack-of-all-trades] can't eat the souls of living people, can't meet the conditions for the birth of cursed things, and naturally weakens little by little.

Byron had expected it to "die" soon and become a mortal object again.

I didn't expect to look at it again at this time, and the extraordinary aura on the rotten moss tombstone turned out to be a lot stronger.

"Enough, can you shut me up?"

The crystal skull, which has higher activity, that is, "bestiality", "self", and higher driving force, is already obviously a little crazy.

But Franklin replied unhurriedly:

The answer to this question is: No, as long as someone asks me a question, I will definitely answer it.

This time it's my turn to ask, do skeletons also have genders, are your genders male, female, or the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6100th species? ”

"Shut up, you dare to blaspheme the great corn god Yum Kax, you are looking for death!"

The crystal skeleton opened its mouth to bite him, but it couldn't bite the bone because of its low strength.

Lost by those who covet its magical powers, it has little lethality in itself.

"If you answer incorrectly, please accept the judgment of summarization."

The cold aura on the moss tombstone flashed.

The curse of the little amulet certainly can't kill the crystal skeleton and the nature spirits that live inside.

Byron clearly saw that some soul fragments from the crystal skeleton peeled off and fell on the body of the talisman.

To this cursed thing that had been subjected to blood sacrifice for an unknown amount of time, this fragment was not even a dime a dozen or nine hundred and ninety-nine.

But for the decaying moss tombstone that was about to starve to death, it was an unprecedented supplement.

Seeing that the aura continues to increase, a new third-level [cursed thing] corresponding to the low-level transcendent will be formed.

Byron looked thoughtful.

"Interestingly, the two of them seem to have something in common, both of them use 'knowledge' as a medium to exert a corresponding extraordinary effect.

It's just that the Crystal Skull will be rewarded with 'abundance' after receiving a brain pulp full of knowledge.

On the other hand, the rotten tombstone is punished with a curse when the knowledge is not satisfied. ”

Stopping them from continuing to make noise, he reached out and took both of them out of their fanny packs.

Put the talisman aside, actively consume your own spirit, and activate the [Echo of History] on the crystal skeleton.

In the next moment, the first thing that was read out was the relic deeds in the mouth of the [Famine Hunters] that they could not hope for:

"The gods made the flesh and blood of the new man out of yellow and white corn dough, and forged the personality of man.

Then make bones out of reeds, put them in flesh and blood, and glow with vigorous energy."

Each relic carries a unique history of mankind and has had a huge impact in a certain region or field.

To activate such a treasure, unlike a man-made curiosity, it is only necessary to use a simple cut inscription.

It's about singing its deeds and recreating that part of history.

Byron looked at it carefully twice, and suddenly thought to himself:

I see, this story may sound like a distorted myth, but it is easy to understand with a little translation.

In the mythology of the Tayas, the thirteen gods (nature spirits) who lived in the crystal skeletons were one with their ancestors.

Emperors are all descendants of gods, 'demigods'.

In fact, Crystal Skull III comes from an ancestor of the Taya civilization named Yum Kax, who taught his people how to grow corn during his lifetime.

After death, a skeleton is constantly offered blood sacrifices, and eventually becomes a natural spirit that inhabits a crystal skull, possessing the power of life, prosperity, and abundance.

In fact, it is a form of black magic similar to a life box.

Perhaps he is a Shennong-like figure in the Taya civilization.

But because the subjective consciousness is a mixture of all the sacrifices, although he is called a god, he is no longer the same person. ”

As Byron tried to chant the history of Skull Three, the true power of the artifact was revealed.

Buzz——!

The blood light in the eye socket of the crystal skull instantly transformed into a very fresh yellow-green like corn, and suddenly erupted.

On the top of the head, a "corn emblem" symbolizes abundance.

Then it suddenly spread out, and that spiritual barrier could not resist at all.

Starting from the captain's quarters, the oak planks that make up the hull of the ship seem to come alive and glow with a hint of greenery again.

It seems that the oak trees that make up the Golden Deer are about to merge with each other, and even have to sprout leaves.

The Crystal Skull suddenly conveyed to Byron a desire to absorb all the agricultural knowledge in his brain.

In this state of full utilization, knowledge is harmless.

With Byron's consent, it can turn the Golden Deer into a living oak forest!

"I refuse!"

The greenery that filled the captain's room instantly retracted, and the crystal skull changed back to its original form.

Immediately, the logbook record about it was also renewed:

[Second Class Relic: Thirteen Crystal Skeletons No. 3]

Inside, it contains all the agricultural knowledge of the Taya civilization.

These include three valuable techniques for cultivating spices:

The perforation method, the fire method, and the stimulation method of true red oil fungus infection promote the spice tree to secrete oil and combine with the wood, and then after a long period of precipitation, it finally becomes a real spice.

The third crystal skull symbolizes the god of corn, the spirit of nature, and the ability [Land of Plenty] can speed up the growth of crops and all plants in a certain area.

As long as you chant the deeds and offer agricultural knowledge as a sacrifice, you can be blessed with its abundant power.

Spices that take at least three years, five years, or eight years to harvest by others only need a year, or even a few months, or a dozen days.

Another: A single crystal skeleton is a [second-level holy relic] whose influence is limited to one city and one place, just like the [Shepherd Flute of the Piper in a Flower Coat].

But once someone can collect all thirteen of them, they can strengthen each other and reach the level of a Rank Zero Relic!

Please keep up the captain's efforts and strive to collect the thirteen skulls as soon as possible and become the successor of the Taya civilization. ”

Byron compared the information in the journal with the memories of the three undead acolytes, and finally understood the value of this treasure.

"In fact, all it needs is knowledge that it has not mastered, and the brain juice and blood sacrifice are only the carriers of knowledge.

It is not benevolent not to eat natives, simply because they don't have new agricultural knowledge in their heads.

The transfer of knowledge can be replaced by other, more gentle ways, such as reciting deeds, or through the 'converter' of the [Moss Tombstone].

Moreover, the role of this skeleton is far more than just a spice, it has another strategic purpose."

Byron stroked the oak desk closest to the skeleton and a bud growing on it, and his heart was struck by a great surprise.

Excitedly pacing back and forth in the captain's quarters.

The use of this treasure carries the destiny of being: farming.

But Byron didn't care at all, and when he arrived in the Taiman Islands, he was supposed to farm, and he had to plant a lot of special land, leaving no empty land.

And, not only spice trees, but also oak and teak!

Spices represent wealth and transcendent power.

Oak and teak represent an endless supply of shipbuilding materials, and even a large fleet that can determine the national fortunes of a great sea power for a hundred years!

The ability of the [Ladder of Glory] profession to interfere with the material world is far less than that of forbidden knowledge.

Even if a farmer has [Hunting Famine], even if a farmer army is exhausted, it will not be able to complete the large-scale mass production of the arbor level.

Once the Grand Fleet is lost, it may be difficult to replenish it for a hundred years.

On the contrary, although this crystal skeleton is not of a very high level and has the corresponding power of the natural spirit inside, there is no doubt that it has a strong ability at the strategic level!

With this chicken that lays golden eggs, not only the 7,000 pounds supported by the York family, but even the 50,000 pounds that have just been snatched are instantly out of favor in Byron's heart.

"It may not be better than anything else, but it is better than farming?

Hmph, when we take the first step out of the sea of stars, let's first ask if the moon can grow vegetables in the pure-blood farming civilization.

And now the Bantaan Islands are still in the slash-and-burn stage.

The Old World is not much better, and even now it is not even aware of the usefulness of manure and livestock farms, and it is in vain that those precious resources have turned cities into big dung pits.

However, they can only adopt the fallow system all the time, and cannot implement the continuous cropping system of land, which completely wastes the precious agricultural production efficiency.

Scumbags, even if I don't rebel anymore, but organize people to go back to the Old World to dig dung, I can make a fortune! ”

And now, Byron can't wait to tell his sister and the good news about General Newman.

That's right, he not only wants to plant trees himself, but also pulls the most respected Newman family to plant together!

Trust me, eating alone is never my style.
