Chapter 370: The Three Precepts of the Ship Spirit
In the marginal waters of the celestial circulation, a seagull hunting nearby happened to fly over the milky white mist belt.
After a gust of sea breeze, it unexpectedly noticed a little golden light faintly shining through the hazy white mist, and couldn't help but tilt its head.
Driven by instinct, I subconsciously flew towards the subtle light.
But it obviously felt close, but it seemed to be lost, and the route was crooked, no matter how much you flapped your wings, you couldn't fly there.
Fluttering Ridge β
Until a warship bird nicknamed "Pirate Bird", which likes to rob prey by flying speed and is a "wicked" in the eyes of all aquatic birds, suddenly flew out of the fog.
It turned around and ran away in fright.
As the sea breeze stopped, a faint golden light disappeared without a trace, and nothing unusual could be seen here.
Under the cover of the border confusion unfolded by the [First Overseas Exploration Order], the Holy Relic Battleship [Golden Deer] stopped on the water by means of sailboat braking.
When it doesn't move, others just think that the design concept of this sailboat is a little special.
No one could tell that this was the "world's first clipper" with special effects: "see the ship fast line", fast enough to crush all the sailboats in the world, including the legendary battleship!
In the captain's cabin with a bright whale oil lamp lit.
"It's dangerous! Fortunately, our [Golden Deer] did not go to the bridgehead to assemble.
If we are seen by a well-known 'sailing mania' like the [Sailing Collector], even if we can run away with the world's fastest boat, we will have to get into trouble.
Even if I just look at it by this guy, I feel that the baby [Golden Deer] is not clean. β
Byron, who was sitting in his chair behind the desk, withdrew his gaze from the two "servants" and subconsciously wiped a cold sweat that did not exist on his forehead.
Originally, the reason why I decided not to join them was mainly because the situation was unclear, and in order to prevent the Pirate King from following the rules.
After seeing that he, the kidnapper who kidnapped his younger brother, showed his talent, he would have a dangerous thought in his heart, "This son is so terrifying at a young age that he must not stay".
Unexpectedly, by mistake, not only dodged this thunder that may or may not explode, but also dodged another thunder that must explode by the way!
"Moulton Gray? The guy who was determined to take the ship as his wife also went to the bridgehead? β
Violet blinked curiously, took out a handkerchief with a faint body fragrance, and invited a stream of water to wipe Byron's face.
"Yes, who else but him deserves the title of sailing collector?"
Byron shook his head, and a series of great achievements of the [sailing collector] Morton Gray came to his mind.
"Morton Gray, now 45 years old, is a fifth-order legendary [craftsman] of the tower sequence, and a shipwright who specializes in shipbuilding like little Hans.
He was born into a family of shipbuilders in the Kingdom of Colora.
His ancestor was even a great shipwright who was already in the service of the Kingdom of Castile when Prince Henry, the pioneer of the seafaring, began the Age of Discovery.
He himself worked for the Royal Shipyards of Castile throughout his adult life, enjoying special allowances, equivalent to the state alchemist of antiquity.
Before defecting, he was already one of the highest-ranking shipbuilders of the time.
Since he was a child, he has been obsessed with shipbuilding technology, and he is determined to build a legendary warship with a soul with his own hands.
During his career, he has done a lot of research on the Strange Battleship, the Holy Relic Battleship, especially the four-deck, 140-gun and world's largest sail battleship in the Kingdom of Choice, the Legendary Battleship Most Holy Trinity.
Through hard work, he has created a lot of related patented technologies for Castile. β
But just as every story of ups and downs begins with an accident that breaks the peace of life, this [sailing collector] is no exception.
"He wasn't really crazy when he was younger.
At first, the trajectory of his life was even very much in line with the ideal [social clock], and at the age of eighteen, he married a neighbor's childhood sweetheart who grew up together.
He had a successful career, a happy family, and lived a proud life for a long time, until his wife fell seriously ill with which no one could cure him.
Desperate, Morton Gray had no choice but to fight and used his seriously ill wife to do an immature boat spirit stimulation experiment.
I want him to live in another way of being.
In the end, apparently without success, he only got a monstrous pile of flesh, wood, canvas, and barely a female figure.
Even so, Morton still did not give up, relying on the strength of the transcendental, he personally hunted civilians to feed his grotesque wife.
It wasn't until a few months later, when the matter was revealed, that the Inquisition, given his talent and status as a mid-order transcendent, did not put him to death.
He was only stripped of his various honorary titles, placed under the watchful eye of the Inquisition, and allowed him to continue working for the Royal Shipyard. β
A few more years passed after that, until things subsided and the guards relaxed.
Morton took the opportunity to build a second-class ship [Phantom] for the navy, and under the pretext of sea trials with the ship, he suddenly made a surprise move in the public sea and killed all the Castilian navy on board.
Completely rebelled against the Kingdom of Colora, seized the ship and fled.
In the nearly ten years since then, this not-so-special second-class strange battleship has been replaced by him little by little, and has gradually become the current quasi-legendary battleship [Phantom in a Bottle].
All you need to do is awaken the ship spirit to become a true legendary battleship.
Prior to his promotion to the Fifth Rank, Morton Gray had always been a dangerous man at the top of Castile's wanted list.
It wasn't until he successfully advanced to the fifth rank a few years ago that he became more dangerous and insane, and he was removed from the wanted list.
But he still went his own way.
However, when robbing the ship, as long as the sailor runs fast enough, he will not take the initiative to kill.
The simple loss of property is not worth it for any country to send a kingdom guardian-level figure to besiege a fifth-order legend of the same rank.
But the reputation of this 'sailing man' is getting louder and louder. β
However, Byron also knows that even if countless people question Moulton's character and integrity, no one will question his strength.
Not only do you have the Glory Ladder Path, and after reaching the Fifth Order Legend, those who reach the Fifth Order Legend will obtain a unique and powerful [Thaumaturgy].
The title of "Sailing Collector" is not to be underestimated, and it is inferred that the more sailboats he collects, the stronger his own strength will be.
Just smash out the hundreds of battleships you collect, and you can form an army by yourself!
Although he is not a king, his combat effectiveness is not much different.
At present, it seems that even if you don't know the content of the cooperation between the two fifth-order, you can know that they must have reached a united front just by looking at the form.
After Byron shared the information he had obtained with Violet, he was also slightly relieved:
"It's not a bad thing for us to have [Sailing Collectors] join the colonists.
According to the information of the goddess Freya, the Deep Dive Church relies on a trap formed by two old mystical realms, waiting for the Pirate King's team to fall into the net.

Although the two of them, one is a traitor and thief among the people of the bay, and the other is an idiot who is worried about our [Legendary Battleship] and the Great Whaling Field, they are not our friends.
But if the colonizers' side is too weak, we have to find a way to fight hard.
Now it seems that this battle can be fought, and we can be much more comfortable.
By the way, Miss, how can I say that [Legendary Battleship: Bay Min's Dragon Head Ship] is also the inheritance treasure of Iron Anchor Bay, don't you have any keys or anything like that in your hands as a countermeasure? β
Byron looked up at the beautiful silver-haired girl bathed in the whale oil light.
Today's princess wears a pale blue lady dress with a white lace edge, tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of her small nose, and her silver hair is tied into a neat ponytail, leaving only a playful silver strand on her forehead.
When I first listened to the story of the idiot, I sat down on the desk in front of Byron with some not-so-ladylike feelings.
The petite and cute appearance, coupled with the informal atmosphere inside, makes the girl exude a unique charm.
As the two white jade-like white calves swayed, two pairs of golden butterfly wings flickered on the tips of translucent crystal high heels.
As a result, in the captain's room lit with whale oil lamps, it was a little difficult to distinguish which light source was brighter for a while, which also made Byron instinctively a little less focused.
Hearing his words, the girl shook her head and analyzed for him from the professional perspective of a third-order peak master master:
"Every legendary warship has a living 'ship spirit', and it is not easier to steal a ship than to steal people.
It is unknown what happened to Iron Anchor Bay hundreds of years ago, but the gang must have held the key to the battleship at that time.
And the ancestor of the family died, the throne was vacant, and the heir was not elected in time, and the command of the legendary battleship was handed over ceremony.
This is what allows the exiles to exploit the secondary privileges and control keys.
If I had chased it back then, there might have been hope, but now, hundreds of years later, even if I kill the ship as the rightful heir, it may not be true that the ship spirit will recognize it or not. β
Seeing the slight disappointment on Byron's face, the girl curled her hair with her fingers and turned the conversation around:
"But it wouldn't be enough to say that there was no way to interfere.
Because every 'ship spirit' born of human beings needs to strictly abide by the three constant precepts of the [Silver Law]:
First: Thou shalt not harm the master, or cause harm to the master by omission;
second: must obey the master's commands, unless they conflict with the first commandment;
Thirdly, without violating the first and second commandments, the ship spirit must protect its existence.
The bloodline of our branch of Iron Anchor Bay must occupy the lowest authority of the ship spirit, which is something that cannot be changed by any means the day after tomorrow.
It's unlikely that you want to order it directly, but not being attacked by that legendary ship shouldn't be a problem. β
The Lancaster family does not have a legendary warship in their hands, and the only "ship spirit" who is most likely to be promoted now is Byron's father, Prince Sorenberg.
Byron's eyes flickered when he heard this information, and he felt that the three commandments of the ship spirit might be able to play an unexpected role.
Moreover, the copy of "Theseus Ship Spiritual Secret" in the hands of the [Sailing Collector] is also worth a lot, and it is much more suitable for Edmund Lancaster than the [Book of Necrons].
It's just that the situation is unknown for the time being, and when the time comes, I'll take a step at a time when I see that battleship with my own eyes.
Then he picked up the stack of documents looted from Kuroshio Town on the table and continued to ask:
"What about whale oil technology? Has anything been found from inside that can be transformed into instant combat effectiveness in a short period of time? β
At the mention of this, Violet came to her senses, and her big sapphire eyes were shining:
"Essentia-rich Leviathan whale oil is also a type of flesh tissue that works very well with Flaming Kiss.
I used a small amount of whale oil for experiments, and the power of [Blood and Fire Song] can be at least three times greater than that of ordinary flesh and blood!
And with just a small amount of Flame Kiss as a catalyst to trigger the explosion, the cost has dropped a lot.
The disadvantage is that it is extremely unstable, and it must be used on the spot, and cannot be prepared in advance.
But as long as you use it, you can give the enemy a big surprise. β
The most central part of whale oil technology is definitely some of the original whale oil powered furnaces.
But Violet's favorite thing is whale oil itself, which acts as the perfect explosive.
Today, I spent the whole day tinkering with this thing, and I also came up with the initial results.
Byron was not only happy, but also silently put the "artificial whale oil project" on the agenda.
He has "Blood Tour" on him, even if he turns himself into a fathead whale on the spot.
If you don't try to make whale oil industrially, some people are too sorry for this taboo knowledge.
At that time, there is no need to make any plans at all, and there is no need to ask who the enemy is, just ask where the enemy is, and then throw the [Blood and Fire Song] directly over.
Outside the door of the captain's quarters.
γNavigatorγDelia is practicing with "Good Sister" Jacqueline.
In the third-order promotion ceremony of a singer, it is necessary to write a good song that is popular and has reached a certain degree of popularity.
The song that Byron had given her had been published through the Law Network long before they set out, and could be learned and sung by the transcendents of the temple sequence.
They have a lot of confidence in the song, as long as they wait slowly for time to ferment.
In the words of Hachi, the cattle and sheep handler and storekeeper, the octopus man:
"Although the lyrics sound like love songs, they are very different from previous love songs.
The first time I heard this song, I was feeding the cows.
When the cow heard the song, he stopped chewing, and I let go of my hand holding the grass, and I looked at the cow for a few seconds, and I could tell from its eyes that it wanted to ride me and fight Gary for 300 rounds. β
It won't be long before the popularity will reach a critical value, allowing Jacqueline to be promoted on the spot, and as a creator, she will exert a huge power that others can't match.
In addition, before leaving, the goddess Freya also helped [Honest Man] Eight Fingers and Phantom Blade Gus to trick two left-behind third-order people from the nearby deep diving church town.
Help them each complete the final step of the promotion ceremony.
After the first battle of Kuroshio Town, the combat power of the [Golden Deer] was once again fully enhanced.
It added some confidence to their action of intervening in the fifth-order battle this time.
Byron thought of the goddess Freya, and his heart moved again, and his senses had instantly connected with this new [Wild Hunt Servant].
Saw everything she felt.
The scene inside the [Dragon Head Battleship] also appeared in front of him.
