Not surprisingly, it once again rained heavily over the Bantaan Islands.

This is the most favorable weather for the Octopus battleship, and it would be strange if it didn't pick such a weather to stage the return of the king.

Phew——!

The five Strange Objects/Relic warships lined up in a single column, drawing a long white line on the surface of the water, and slaughtered towards the Windward Strait three hundred kilometers away.

No one knew better than Byron how difficult the three-hearted Octopus battleship really was, and they almost went out this time to grab the head of the Maywind.

Affected by the effect of the holy relic "Seeing the Ship Fast Line", the [Golden Deer] had to serve as the flagship and lead ship of the fleet;

the former fourth-rank ship of the Seventh Fleet, commanded by Buretania, the former flagship of the Seventh Fleet;

Then there are the three adventure ships that rushed back from the celestial circulation:

Hawkeye: James Kent's Jackdaw; [Demon Pig] Klegane's [Boar Samurai];

There is also the last female pirate captain on the sea, Jeanne Saida, who is extremely rare on the sea, and the Butterflyfish under her command.

The combat effectiveness of these five strange battleships is at least comparable to that of a standard fifty-gun fourth-class nominal battleship.

Such a luxurious lineup can completely compete with the [Maywind] and its escort fleet, and even go head-to-head.

Don't worry about being like the original privateer fleet, you don't dare to confront it head-on except for ambushes.

Uncle Andrew Lancaster is still in charge of the privateer fleet at the base camp, ready to deliver a deep-sea salvo at any time.

Also in order to prevent the large fleet from being rushed into the array by the opponent after setting up the formation, he used his superb mobility advantage to open the Musou mowing.

On the [Golden Deer] alone, there are three third-order transcendents of Byron himself, Violet, and Jacqueline, and they are not afraid of the broadside battle.

Ten thousand steps back, even if the other party escaped from the encirclement again and got rid of their pursuit to retaliate, the defense of several nests was all properly arranged.

Rapids Harbor is defended by Sam Leopold, and International Harbor is guarded by her sister Catherine, who has already obtained the Legion's relics and is ready to do a big job.

As for the three major ports, the last seemingly empty Port Royal in Jamestown would be raided

Hey, that's not a coincidence.

After a battle, you ask the soldiers why there are only so many left?

"Oh, the original soldiers do add up to more than three thousand, but now there are only three hundred left in one go, and I can't help it?

Again, you ask, where did the extra sailors of the Pioneer Pilot Colonial Trading Company come from?

I don't know what you're talking nonsense, I don't know what it means to be paid to raise my own soldiers in my life. ”

"You ask why the royal storehouse where the Governor's Palace paid tribute to His Majesty the King was burned down with the treasury and the ledger?

People have good and bad luck, and the sky has unpredictable storms and clouds.

The big guy is working hard for the kingdom, you don't even have to worry about the little thing of not putting out the fire in time, right? ”

"You ask how the [Maywind] was able to climb over the mountains and loot all the wild spice forests on the island?

I'll have to ask the Infinite Evolver, how do I know?"

If it did go to Port Royal, what kind of bloody plague would it say? You are clearly the dearest sage in my "backdoor listing plan"!

Byron, who was well prepared in all aspects, was in a good mood.

There is no rush to immediately launch a deep-sea jump to deliver to the battlefield.

Instead, he held the steering wheel in his hand and launched the [Ride] to drive the boat himself, while seizing the time to experiment with the [Dream Execution] that he had just loaded into his spirit.

It's better to practice in advance now than to be in a hurry when you encounter a dream attack.

Referring to the knowledge received, the executioner will usually set up a primer that can apply hints to himself when he is not yet proficient.

Byron set it up: "Out of the body! ”

As the ability activated, a brilliant colored aura flew out from the top of his head, turning into a hazy cloud of colored light above his head.

As soon as his mind moved, the phosgene immediately changed.

One moment it is a swimming fish, another is a galloping horse, and the next is a jellyfish and octopus roaming in the air

It's all vivid and true.

And the octopus and squid appear the most often, accounting for almost eighty percent, which also reflects a certain tendency that is most difficult to hide in Byron's heart.

Violet, who was silently staring at him with unblinking eyes next to him, didn't know what to think of when she saw this scene, and her white jade-like cheeks flushed slightly:

"How do you feel like Byron has a soft spot for things like tentacles?

This was the case last time when I saw the indescribable Octopus battleship, and my appetite for food was very clear.

I never asked him about the forbidden knowledge, so it couldn't be some unsolvable side effect, right?

What if I really get into that form after I complete the 'Deep Sea Tracing Ritual', what if he wants to eat me? ”

Byron was so immersed in the wonder of a spiritual outing that he was completely unaware of Violet's thoughts.

"Only by getting rid of the heavy body and traveling in the astral body can you feel true freedom.

It's a wonderful feeling. ”

This mass of colored phosgene actually has its own name, and is one of the seven components of the human soul: the "astral body".

As a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds, the human spirit can connect them to all the people of the world.

Even all the energetic relationships of interaction with people, animals, plants, minerals, and planets are within the purview of this astral body.

In other words, the transcendent can be connected through the astral body and the spiritual world!

Therefore, a series of professions such as [Executioner], [Psychic Medium], [Grave Keeper], [Coffin Bearer], etc., can only realize the astral body travel after mastering the corresponding skills.

If you have reached the state of "heart and mind", you can perfectly control your physical and spiritual "flow" realm.

You can even keep yourself awake at the same time, and release your own astral body to travel, or go out of your body, or kill people in your dreams.

If you are spiritually strong enough, you can go anywhere in an instant.

Of course, it is best to have a related treasure like the [Throne Orb] to protect it from damage to the fragile spirit.

After skillfully using this ability, not only can you kill people in your dreams, but you can also forcibly seize the bodies of humans or animals in lower realms after successfully invading your dreams.

It's almost like a ghost possession.

But it is also necessary to pay attention to the contraindications to the use of this ability:

"Human dreams are heavily guarded, and one of the most powerful places in the human mind is located.

Unless you can crush the opponent in strength, or find a way to get them to open the door and steal it, the defense power in the mind will form a layered labyrinth, castle, and all forms of fortifications.

Only by breaking these defenses can you really hurt the soul of the other party.

When there are no powerful props to help, you should be cautious about dreaming when facing the transcendent of the same level. ”

Keeping the taboo in mind, Byron's astral body suddenly turned into a rainbow light and sank into the water, burrowing into the body of a man-eating shark.

These man-eating sharks were fed by him with the blood of transmutation and his own blood, and there was a natural master-servant relationship between the two, and they had no resistance to him, the master, and their bodies were easily taken away.

Transformed into a shark, Byron felt like he could control his body with precision over anything.

Immediately flick the tail to accelerate, feel the cool sea water flowing through the gill line, the surface of the body, and then turn into a vortex in the tail, pushing the streamlined body to rush forward at high speed.

Compared to flying with [Storm Wings], it is another novel experience.

Rao the fleet swam twice, and then turned into a ray of colored light and rushed into the body of a petrel overhead, and after falling slightly, it revibrated its wings and soared into the sky.

Fight the wind and rain in the sky.

Immediately, all the marine life in the vicinity became Byron's toy, and the sky and the sea were everywhere, free and comfortable.

He also seemed to be able to experience the senses and ways of being of different creatures.

I have a more in-depth experience in the matter of "not being a person".

It took a while to break away from the body of an octopus under the water and return to the boat, manifesting on the opposite side of the body as another identical "Byron".

Touching his chin, he muttered to himself:

"Everything else about this ability is very good, the only flaw is that the physical body can't dream with it.

Not as a means of escape.

This is mainly limited by the orthodox glory ladder route, and does not involve the qualitative change of the flesh.

Only by acquiring the forbidden knowledge related to dreams can one complete the blood sublimation together with the body, and freely transform between matter and spirit.

Unfortunately, that's not my main focus.

Compared to the [Eternal Blood] of the Night Demon Route, the various magics in the dream realm are not particularly remarkable abilities.

Comparing the two routes, I still prefer eternal life.

However, this ability is indeed very useful when used to equip secret execution forces and secret agencies, and I will still have to work the Star Chamber Court in the future. ”

The second executioner of the Star Chamber who was trapped like Teresa was really named Reilly Mark.

As can be seen from the main functions of this agency, it resembles a secret service organ, and its main targets are the domestic elite, bureaucrats, and parliamentarians.

Since Byron's grandfather Henry V established this institution, most of the people selected have been civilians who have no interests with the elites.

It is the same until now that he has taken refuge in the York family.

The biggest difference between these people and the landed aristocracy is that one is proletarian and the other is propertuary.

After Reilly Mark became obsessed with stock trading, he was similar to Teresa, and also embarked on a road of no return for stock speculation with public funds and borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

It's a pity that in the end, the chickens flew and the eggs were beaten, and even the ability to take care of the house was lost.

After one of his core abilities was taken away by Byron, he could only excuse himself with the damage of his astral body and leave his field post to become a [executioner] in the real world.

"You can't be in a hurry, you have to think slowly.

Let Reilly Mark slowly pull his colleagues into the water, and have a chance to wipe out the entire Star Chamber Court again!

As long as I use the 'big lever technique', I don't worry that they won't obey. ”

At this time, Jacqueline, who had been watching from the sidelines, walked over with some curiosity.

At this time, this [chameleon] finally changed into a white skirt, put black stockings on his two slender legs, and stepped on black high heels, giving him a bit of a girl's playful appearance.

Stretching out a slender finger, he curiously poked Byron's astral body.

Kiss!

As if a bubble had burst, his whole being turned into phosgene poured back into Byron's body and spirituality.

Whether it is Jacqueline's own [Shadow Robe] or this [Dream Execution], it is all from Byron's abduction.

While enjoying the benefits, she is also a little more wary of the outside world.

I can't help but ask the experts of this way sincerely:

"Cousin, the world outside is sinister now, and all kinds of traps are hard to guard, and if you are not careful, you will encounter bad people.

What do we simple little girls do when we interact with strangers? ”

Byron looked his cousin up and down, and he didn't see where the guy who dumped himself eight streets with pickled girl skills was innocent?

You've stolen more hearts from girls than I've ever had!

Afraid of running into bad guys? You're the arsonist, okay?

But in the end, I decided to guide her from my own professional point of view:

"It's okay, just let an expert like my cousin, who likes to do the game the most and lets others drill it, teach you a truth.

People can never make money outside of their cognitive domain, and you must be careful when you are tempted by huge benefits outside your cognitive domain.

Especially in the transcendent world where various abilities emerge in an endless stream, if Lao Deng asks you to take care of the overall situation, then the eight-adult family is the overall situation, and you are not in this bureau at all;

Whatever tells you to do whatever it takes, you are often that price;

And never publicize it to the public, and people are silent and secretly do it, it may be beneficial but unwilling to share it with you;

In the end, if you vigorously promote it like the pig killing plate I opened, there is a high probability that there is a sinkhole that you need to fill.

As a simple and honest person, remembering these rules may not make you soar, but it will not make you lose all your life's hard work. ”

Just as her chick was pecking rice, Byron changed her words again:

"Of course, if there is another major premise, all the words I said before are null and void.

That is, it is not the bad people who make you do these things, but the people who have a great reputation and can really be relied on and you can really feel at ease.

Everything he asks you to do is probably really good for you.

Take me, for example!

Stupid sister, you are too young to grasp such a whimsical thing as money.

It's better to save all your pocket money to your cousin, and save one every year, which is called financial insurance, and I will give you an annualized percentage here

Hey, what are you running? I haven't finished talking yet, am I so unreliable in your eyes? ”

Jacqueline gave him the answer with her own actions.

Covering his small wallet, he ran out as soon as he ran away, and even waved his hand to open a circular pitch-black hole in order to protect his wallet, which had been targeted by the big bad wolf, and disappeared in an instant.

Only one sentence was left on the deck of the Golden Deer:

"Cousin, I'll go to the battlefield to reconnoiter in advance, and I'll guide you to the coordinates in a while."

After the bloodline sublimation was completed, the [Shadow Robe] had already turned into the instinct of this shadow dragon man's body, and all kinds of shadow spells were at his fingertips.

It's much more convenient than the pawnbroker borrowing the power of ability cards.

The next moment, she jumped out of the shadows and followed her mother's coordinates to the sky above the Windward Strait.

A fierce naval battle has already begun here.
