Central of the Bantaan Islands.

The sea is microwave and the sea breeze is blowing, and a small fleet of four sailing boats ride the wind from east to west.

A privateer, the Golden Deer, served as a flower messenger and lead ship, and a naval cruiser took a back, with two Greenville merchant ships in the center.

Shortly after leaving the First Circulation and entering the Bantaan Islands, they experienced a very short period of cold winter to midsummer.

In recent years, the north has become colder and colder, and it often experiences hoarfrost.

In terms of climate alone, it's far less livable than overseas.

Catherine also changed into a relatively light goose yellow dress, with a pair of translucent crystal high heels on her feet.

Even without makeup, his lips are red and white, youthful and beautiful, bright and moving.

What has always remained the same is that all the jewelry, hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, and anklets on her body are all made of sparkling mythril.

As the only one Byron is willing to share the treasure with.

She just played with the crystal skull, which was hard to measure in terms of money, and then grabbed the old priest's Mithril Cross emblem tightly.

"That's the real good baby."

There was no way, even though she knew that the value of the third crystal skeleton was far from comparable to that of the Mithril Emblem, but the nature of the dragon itself was really not under her control.

Catherine loves real money more than planting trees.

As soon as possible, he fused the holy emblem into the [Strange Bracelet Silver Moon] on his wrist, and smiled happily:

"Yes, yes, even if you kid is still thinking about my sister, I have gained another two ounces (56 grams) in my little vault."

By the way, he kissed him the forehead.

Just as Byron's [Warrior's Cup] can only be used to hold liquids, the [Silver Moon Bracelet] crafted by a third-order master craftsman can only be used to hold Mithril.

Until now, even Byron didn't know exactly how much stock her bracelet contained.

Compared with the family property loaded on the two boats, this small vault can truly represent the pride of her "Miss Thousand Pounds".

The second-order core skill, [Mithril Hand], can turn the rare and extraordinary metal of Mithril into various weapons.

When she reaches the third order, as long as she has enough family background, she will wave her hand to be a multiple-level Mithril Golem, acting like the wind and infinitely powerful.

It is even possible to divide different classes of troops and cooperate with each other to fight, and even artillery is helpless to take them.

Therefore, until then, it is necessary to save up the family money bit by cent.

Even at the fourth and fifth levels, it is destined to be difficult to change the habits of the dragon.

Byron asked her to be the chief financial officer of her governor's palace, and she definitely didn't have to worry about being cheated by someone else.

Miss Catherine was born to be the absolute nemesis of all corrupt officials and unscrupulous profiteers!

So in the future, you only need to guard against her alone.

The Governor's workload has been greatly reduced, which is really gratifying, gratifying.

"Look, Byron, is that island in front of you the Great Taiman? We're almost there. ”

On the bow of the Osprey, which was just the two of them, Catherine suddenly jumped for joy.

At this time, Byron's character is "Vincent" who has just been released from the bilge, just like a real pair of lords and guardian knights.

As they saw the island appear in front of them, the signal flag suddenly rose on the last cruiser in the fleet:

"We have arrived at our destination, and the ship is about to leave."

Without waiting for the Osprey to respond, it hit a full rudder and left on its own.

The fifty musketeers who had already been transferred to another merchant ship [Kitty Hawk] had already been transferred in advance, and they were led by a Marine captain to the deck.

This musket team was the only one who accompanied Vincent to Greenville, and the Yorks would not be on a cruiser for nothing.

Byron didn't care either, but breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that I'm strong and weak, even if I accidentally show some horses' feet, I can easily let some unlucky guy with bad luck be killed by himself.

"Check the guard of honor, we are stationed in the colony for the first time, and we show the momentum of the soldiers of the kingdom."

As the captain commander of this Marine Corps, "Vincent" pretended to give orders to the musket team on the opposite ship.

【Royal Hound】Vincent tried in vain to marry Catherine, and he had already left the court, and now he was alone.

There were no life gems left behind.

Unless he could return to the mainland as the new earl of House Greenville, no one would give him another look.

The ignorance of the Musketeers allowed Byron to easily harvest this Army Musket Team of fifty.

It's unrealistic to expect them to charge, but it's not a problem to act as a defense force for your new territory.

As long as you wash it a few times after a while, the rest will be all your own people.

The only thing Byron lamented was that he was a little lacking.

There are more and more Beard Beards of Byron Tudor, Pirate General Bill, and Vincent Spaniel.

Bruch was the only one to help with the post, and he felt more and more stretched.

But every identity had to be maintained.

"Vincent, the royal hound, is a nail left behind by the House of York.

If it is directly removed, not to mention that the York family may send an even more tricky guy over.

Even the local governor Newman's family will have a lot less scruples, and maybe they will find a family child to end up in person.

Before I left, I pretended to offend Catherine, and she beat me up in public, and then locked me in a small dark room in the bilge.

This is the only way to disappear in front of others.

Pirate General Bill is also a banner among pirates, and must wait until Byron, the deputy, is fully fledged before he can kick it off. ”

Byron couldn't help but sigh:

"If only I were a 'time management guru' too. I really want to find such a senior to learn from the experience. ”

The remaining three ships continued on their way, and the island ahead grew larger and larger, gradually turning from a green dot to a thick green dot.

In the clear turquoise water around me, there were several large sea turtles that were the size of horse-drawn carriages, swimming leisurely.

Not far below them, there are clusters of beautiful coral reefs at the bottom of the sea.

If you want to spend a holiday or swim here, it must be very pleasant.

Byron leapt to his feet and rushed up the high mast along the side sparks of the foremast.

Catherine shone silver all around, and she changed into a beautiful full-body knight armor to follow.

The moment I saw the scenery in front of me, I couldn't help but blurt out:

"It's so beautiful!"

Standing here, you can almost see the entire island of Grand Tayman, which has an average altitude of no more than 200 meters.

The island is about 35 kilometers long and has an average width of 7 kilometers, and the trees on the island look like a large piece of emerald.

The terrain is gentle, with mainly large green plains, surrounded by low mountains, vast mangrove swamps and beautiful colorful coral reefs.

The transfer documents record that the waters around the island are rich in lobsters, turtles, hawksbill turtles, sponges, shells and all kinds of aquatic products, and forestry is also very good.

The island is home to a wide variety of fruit trees: coconuts, breadfruits, bananas, mangoes, citrus and many more, as well as palms, high-quality dye ink trees and mahogany.

Although it has a tropical climate, it is surrounded by the sea, and the average annual temperature is only between 24 and 30 degrees Celsius.

The only downside is probably that the current level of development is too low.

From here, most of the area is still untouched, and there is only one settlement on the island, Georgetown Harbor.

Even the most important lighthouse in the harbor looks dilapidated and in dire need of repairs and even further expansions.

The small harbor with a few sailboats parked in twos and threes is also very simple.

After taking over, they have to spend money, a lot of money!

The brilliance in Catherine's eyes, which lit up with the beauty, dimmed in an instant.

Reaching out and pressing his towering chest, he felt as if he was out of breath:

"I knew that there was already a lesson from the Castillian occupation of Tamanbrak.

The other two islands in the archipelago, the main island of Grand Taiman Island and the secondary island of Little Taiman Island, will not fared much better.

As expected, this is a mess, and if you want to generate positive returns, it is not as simple as the next day or two of hard work. ”

In the fiefdom information handed over with the transfer order, the description of the situation here is not very good, and the actual situation is even worse than Byron and Catherine imagined.

According to the data, the population of the island is not large, but the large island of 220 square kilometers has only a few hundred permanent residents.

It was originally an autonomous colony founded by private adventurers, and it took less than five years to develop.

Agriculture, forestry, fishing, and a kind of demonized tortoiseshell products that have reached the extraordinary level are the main revenues.

Due to an expedition accident two months ago.

The adventurer [Nine Lives Cat] George, who was about to touch the sequence in the third layer of the [Silver Law], and his core team never returned.

Without a reliable guarantee of force, it is difficult for the remaining ordinary people to continue to operate in a dangerous place like the Bantaan Islands.

Later, until they couldn't even afford to light the lighthouse and receive the spices protected by the Silver Law.

He had to choose to relinquish his ownership of the territory and submit an application to the Kingdom and Maritime Court for an official takeover of the island.

This ended up in Catherine's hands.

Byron's focus is more on the missing adventurer, the Cat of Nine Lives.

"Wilderness adventurers, like me, you need to always chase danger in order to keep moving up.

But if you have one accident, you can lose everything.

The Nine Lives Cat is not an immortal cat, and there will always be a day when the horse stumbles. ”

To become an Adventurer, you need to pay homage to the power of nature through a ritual called the Extreme Eight.

They are: the emergence of force; Birth from Heaven; Earth's Awakening; Water Creatures; Perpetual motion of the wind; Consolidation of ice; The Master of Life; Absolutely.

As long as you can complete one in the mortal stage, you can be promoted to adventurer.

If you can pass them all, you can break the limits of the human body, achieve nirvana, advance to the second order in one step, and gain core skills that far surpass those of your peers.

Ability [Adaptation and Evolution]: As long as they don't die in great tribulations, there will be blessings, so that they will transform step by step in the tribulation, and eventually become non-humans with both will and body!

Of course, the mortality rate of adventurers is also consistently the highest among all serial classes.

It can be said that there are very few people who can complete the "Extreme Eight" at the mortal stage.

But in any case, it's a new beginning for two people.

Moreover, the Tayman Islands are located on the main transportation route connecting the east and west, so it is natural that there is the most convenient transaction to do.

- Low EQ: "Take it!" ”

High Emotional Intelligence: "Let's go to the far end of the world and go on a romantic date with every merchant ship and every native." ”

The two sisters and brothers looked at each other and smiled, and their hearts were suddenly full of pride, and they said in unison with a tacit understanding:

"Here we come, and the better days come.

Start being an island owner today, plant trees, grab money, and become famous! ”

However.

Just as the fleet turned the corner of the island from the northeast and sailed towards Georgetown, which was built on the south shore of the island, a cannon shot suddenly sounded in the direction of the harbor in the distance.

I saw two sailing ships that had just docked here, and the flag belonging to Hattings on the mast was instantly replaced by the skull pirate flag.

A horde of vicious pirates rushed into the harbor from the cabin.

There was a cigarette and wine like a broken gong and shouted loudly:

"Hurry up and hand over all the spices, gold and silver, grain, and rum to me, the people of the Hattings!"
