April 25, 1472, three o'clock in the afternoon.

The Silver Law, which was centered on the lighthouses of Port Royal in the countries of the Bantaan Islands, suddenly launched itself and descended on every royal colony.

The news will be received in advance, and the Governor, his subordinates, and the members of the action team who are waiting at the Governor's Palace will be overshadowed.

When Byron took Violet, who served as a temporary secretary, Berettania, who was quickly promoted to captain of the [Support] after a makeover, and James and other three adventurous captains reopened their eyes.

It was discovered that the group had collectively entered the spiritual world and came to a huge public dream that relied on the collective subconscious of human beings.

It feels like a lucid dream, but the rules around me are no different from the outside world, and you can give full play to your strength.

This is clearly the power of the Silver Law.

They were in a place with the deep and endless black essentia sea on one side and a vast land mass created by the collective human subconscious on the other.

I just didn't see anyone else.

"This is a lighthouse?

Look, what a lighthouse! ”

As everyone turned their heads to look around for the others, Violet, who was standing beside Byron, suddenly let out an exclamation.

The others turned their heads to look at it, only to find that a huge shadow like a mountain behind them turned out to be a towering lighthouse.

The location where they appear is precisely at the foot of the lighthouse.

Byron subconsciously activated the [Echo of History], and a flash of inspiration flashed in his right eye, and he saw the data of the lighthouse in front of him.

The base of the bottom tower is about 14 meters high, covering a huge rock reef by the sea.

The lower tower that rises in the middle of the tower base is 71 meters high, which is also square, and there is a bronze statue of "The Son of the Sea God Blowing the Conch" at each of the four corners of the upper end.

They face four different directions to indicate the direction and direction of the wind.

The middle tower body is abruptly shrunk into a thin column, about 9 meters high.

Eight thick granite pillars are erected in the octagonal position of the middle tower body, which together support a circular tower top like the sun.

With a total height of 135 meters, there is no doubt that this is currently the tallest building on the Silver Continent.

At this moment, the top of the lighthouse was radiating an endless silver light, illuminating the entire spiritual world instead of the sun on earth, leaving only a small shadow at the bottom of the tower where they were.

In this world, all kinds of magnificent wonders of civilization often represent different meanings, and there is no such thing as a wonder misleading.

And the lighthouse in front of you is especially special, because in addition to the appearance parameters, only a short name is read:

"Rank 0 Relic - Falos Lighthouse!"

Yes, this is not a projection of the power of some lighthouse sequence transcendent, but a literal zero-level holy relic that straddles the physical and spiritual worlds.

And unlike the [True Cross] that Byron had seen from afar, after being shattered by an unknown force, only an unknown number of silver fragments remained, but a well-preserved complete body.

It was also the first intact zero-level holy relic he had ever seen.

Only when the thirteen crystal skulls in his hand were combined into one, and all the knowledge inheritance of the Taya civilization was gathered, could he be qualified to be compared to it.

At this time, an enthusiastic female voice suddenly sounded beside them:

"From the kingdom of Hattings, welcome to the oldest and largest lighthouse of mankind, the Lighthouse of Falos.

I'm Delia Maxwell, a mentor for the Lighthouse Federation.

The meeting will be held in the Lighthouse Chamber, so please come with me. ”

The crowd looked down and saw a young woman in a plain gray linen cloak appear in front of them.

looks sweet, and the figure can't be seen because it is covered by the cloak, but the long platinum blonde hair is a little dazzling, which is very impressive.

"Hello Miss Delia, I'm Byron Tudor, Governor of Jamestown."

Byron nodded to her and led her into the lighthouse.

The group ascended the wide granite staircase large enough for the elephants to pass, and the invisible force enveloped their bodies, and it was not difficult to climb the tenth floor in one go.

This is probably a transcendent version of the elevator.

At each level, Delia, the usher, introduced them to the inner workings of this magnificent building:

"The Lighthouse of Pharos was built at the end of the Age of Mythology, about two hundred years before the Silver Age.

It is the world's earliest and largest lighthouse, and today, 2,000 years later, it has become a concrete symbol of the concept of lighthouse.

The main body of the lighthouse is built on three flights of steps.

The main tower consists of three floors, the first floor is a square structure, 60 meters high, which contains more than 300 rooms of various sizes, which are used as fuel depots, lifting shafts, and workshops for various departments;

The second layer is an octagonal structure, 11 meters high, which is mainly used to store and transport whale oil, potion quality olive oil, and of course is gradually replacing it with a more effective whale oil and spice mixture;

The third floor is a circular structure surrounded by 8 stone pillars 8 meters high around the domed light tower.

At the top of the light tower, there is also an 8-meter-high bronze statue of the sun god.

This great building, which was born 2,000 years ago, is an architectural marvel that is difficult to replicate even now, and I am thrilled every time I see it. ”

Delia spoke with pride, and Byron and his party were amazed.

This lighthouse-like zero-level holy relic should strictly be a "wonder of civilization" for mankind.

Similar buildings include the Hanging Garden, the Great Wall of the North, and so on, each with its own magical and extraordinary abilities.

The Lighthouse of Pharos occupies a series of firsts such as the first lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse, the oldest lighthouse in existence, and so on, far from being comparable to the first iron-making blast furnace and the first Tudor galleon in Byron's hands.

In the Bronze Age, where material production was extremely backward in theory.

Such a massive structure, made of materials such as granite and bronze, could hardly be completed by human power alone, and it was clearly aided by the extraordinary power of the mythical era and the extreme prosperity.

It also made them more and more curious, what happened back then to make the old gods fall and humans are kings.

Just as a platform full of fuel passed in front of them, Delia continued:

"In the past, the fuel for the lighthouse was whale oil, potions-grade olive oil and wood.

Two thousand years ago, engineers also used mirrors to reflect sunlight and light farther out into the sea with the help of the principle of reflection.

This incomparable lighthouse, lit by day and lit at night, conscientiously navigates incoming ships and provides an unparalleled sense of security to the helmsman.

Even the Gospel of Creation, written at the beginning of the Church, has a description of this lighthouse:

'They dived into the sea by boat, and traded with the great sea; They saw what the Creator was doing and the wonders He had built up in the deep waters. ’

Two thousand years later, the core hub of the colonial lighthouse system is still here, isn't it shocking? ”

The group was amazed.

Byron also put away his overlook mentality of always standing on the shoulders of giants and pointing fingers, and re-examined the development of extraordinary civilizations in this world:

"Human beings are mortal, and every step forward on the transcendent path is an encroachment on their own person.

Even so, he still became the master of the world in the Silver Age, or at least the master of an entire Silver Continent.

It's clear that there's more to it than meets the eye.

Although it is not known the specific capabilities of this lighthouse.

But at least one thing is already known, it is the core hub of the colonial lighthouse network system across the physical and material worlds, and without it, most of the overseas development industry will collapse in an instant.

And as long as you look at a zero-level holy relic that supports the huge lighthouse federation, you know that the water in the upper layer of the transcendent world is deeper than I know. ”

Soon, they reached the top of the 60-meter square structure on the first floor, and in the distance they saw a circular council hall that seemed to occupy an entire floor.

Obviously, no matter what world you are in, you can't escape the bad habit of leaders who always like to hold conferences.

And Byron is well aware of a principle: "Small things should be held in small meetings, big things should be held in small meetings, and especially important things should not be held." ”

According to his experience, if any proposal that engages in this mode of holding a conference can reach any consensus in the end, then there is really a ghost.

unless

The relevant details have already been discussed by the local high-level officials in each country, and it is possible to just inform them to implement it now.

"That would be even more pointless."

Just when Byron felt a little nerve-wracking about this kind of thing that he hated deeply.

Suddenly, I saw the gate in front of me, and several groups of representatives of various countries who had already arrived in advance seemed to have broken out into conflict.

"Some people don't look in a mirror to look at themselves.

I can't even see that the ownership of the 'right to protect the church' has been decided, and you dare to compete with us for a seat in Castile?

Hurry up and go back and enjoy the last of your comforts, and when you get the 'right to preserve' Castile, sooner or later you will all be driven out of the Bantaan Islands.

Every inch of overseas belongs to Castile and His Majesty! ”

Standing at the center of the crowd was a group of arrogant Castilians.

It is clearly stronger than other forces.

Based on the intelligence he had gathered over the past few days, Byron recognized at a glance that it was the new governor of Havana, Fox Ulysses, an army officer-turned-fortress guard.

Behind him stood the only fourth-order hero-level transcendent [Two-Faced Man] Smith Robert, who obviously gave him infinite courage.

If you provoke all countries with all your might, you will be the first to enter the venue.

In fact, according to the comparison of national strength, they do have this capital.

After he said this, it was naturally impossible for several other countries to do anything that would damage their national dignity, otherwise the official hat would be worn on their heads.

Immediately confronted him together, and no one could get in.

At the head of the line was a woman.

The curvaceous body wore an emerald light tulle skirt with ruffle sleeves, revealing her white arms and a piece of white greasy on her chest, and the gemstone brooch was shining.

He wears a gauze hat on his head, and between the white gauze mesh is a pair of light blue eyes that are shiny and watery, and there is a small tear mole in the corner of his left eye.

The lower edge of the gauze only reveals a touch of flaming red lips, and there are thousands of styles with every gesture.

A pair of custom-made sapphire high heels on her feet make this noble lady look particularly tall and charming.

This is none other than Byron's aunt, Jacqueline's mother, the third-order [singer] Megnella.

"What a coincidence? Auntie, has she returned to the colony and taken over as governor of the Iris colony? ”

Byron suddenly counted the time, and his aunt had spent a lot of money to entrust him with taking care of Jacqueline, who had caused trouble in the Old World, since the construction of Riptide Fortress had just begun.

She herself returned to Iris alone to report on her work, and more than three months had passed, which was enough for a round trip.

"Blame me for scheming with the Newman family during this time, I'm too busy to pay attention to my cousin Jacqueline's troubled child.

I didn't realize that this aunt, who was very accurate, had returned.

Not good! ”

Immediately, his first reaction was:

"It's broken, I see that the balance of the child's mission is gone!"

My aunt had given a deposit of 5,000 pounds, and she agreed to come back and give another 5,000 pounds.

But now that they have taken off a layer of vest, everyone is a relative, and Byron is also a face-saving person, and it is really difficult to talk about the matter of asking for the final payment.

"Fortunately, now the Lancaster Party's accounts are in charge of my sister.

When the time comes, put the money into the rebellion fund for this quarter, and then send the bill to my aunt and ask her to pay for it!

The road can be uneven, but the account must be flat.

I'm such a clever ghost. ”

At this time, Meganella's towering chest rose and fell violently, obviously angered by the new governor of Havana, Fox.

couldn't help but sneer:

"Hmph, the former Admiral [Conquistador] Cortés died in the Azic King, and the former Governor Velázquez died in Treasure Island.

Port Royal in Havana was captured by the indigenous emperor, and the former governor's wife and sisters were all snatched away by the natives to give birth to young natives.

Even the Bloody Plague [Maywind] was caused by you Castilians.

I really can't imagine what kind of thickness of skin you have that makes you embarrassed to talk nonsense here?! ”

"Hahaha"

Since ancient times, the truth is the most hurtful, and Meganella's words immediately attracted laughter from the representatives of various countries behind her.

Castilla always wanted to monopolize the interests of the colonies, and it was not pleasing to all the countries, so why shouldn't they?

In addition to the small countries that are scattered together, there are six relatively strong sea powers or regions that now believe in the Creator Church:

Castile, Hattings, Iris, Netherlands, Rhine League, Kalmar League.

As for the Holy Silver Empire, which has the most cards, it has the name of the Empire and a crown above the kings and below the Pope.

However, because of the loose federal structure, it was difficult to expand externally, and at most it was only through the Rhine League, a commercial alliance between cities.

All countries have their eyes on Castile, the sea power hegemon that occupies the greatest interests, and they have never spared any opportunity to fall into the ground.

It's just that before the hunting operation began, their own people were tense first, how could they expect them to cooperate and punish the [Maywind Trumpet]?

However, most of the people who came here were old acquaintances of the International Port, who had dealt with Byron directly or indirectly, and none of them had a face-to-face life.

It is not entirely impossible to form another game against the Castilian Union.

"Humph!"

The fourth-order hero-level transcendent [two-faced] Smith Robert stepped forward and snorted coldly, about to give Megnella, who dared to stand out, a color.

At this moment, Delia had already led Byron to the outskirts of the crowd.

Originally, a deacon of the Lighthouse Federation stood in the doorway, watching them quarrel over seating and action dominance, and remained neutral and ignored at all.

But after seeing Byron approaching, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Bypassing the-for-tat representatives of the countries, they strode in their direction.

Changing the indifference on his face, with a smile full of heartfelt reverence, he rushed up and held Byron's hand with an arrow:

"Distinguished Mr. Councillor, I'm sorry to delay you.

Please come with me here, there is an internal seat that has been prepared for you for a long time. ”

On the back of Byron's right hand, which he clenched, a blue whale oil lantern mark quietly appeared that only they could see.

As the deacon took his hand, he noticed that there was a brass nameplate on the other side of the conference room, which read, "Members' passage, no idle people are allowed to enter", and there was a red carpet on the floor.

In the chaotic venue, there was silence on the spot.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously looked at them.

"This"

Byron wanted to subconsciously hide himself as usual.

But looking around left and right, on the left hand is the petite Violet, and on the right hand is Berettania, a subordinate who regards him as a natural king.

The three adventurous captains with the most acute sense of crisis have long been hiding behind him at the first time.

Byron suddenly realized that he had come all the way to the present, and no one had grown taller than him.

It's also time to try your skills with all kinds of heroes.

So, the tall body in the blue general's uniform straightened up like a javelin, stretched out his hand and greeted the old acquaintances who were still vying for seats:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are busy first, and I will do it. Excuse me! ”
