Pirate Kingship

Byron, who was mixed in the crowd, was waiting to see the show at first.

He had successfully poisoned all the gold in the royal city.

Except for him, the legitimate heir of the empire, whoever took the gold would completely lose all happiness.

[Holy Relic·Azk's Cursed Gold Coin]:

They were born from a tragedy that occurred in the early days of the Age of Discovery.

At that time, during an invasion by the Castilians.

The Aztecs gave a stone box containing 882 Aztec skull gold coins to a group of colonists, hoping that they would stop slaughtering their citizens.

But the general in charge was greedy and cruel, and after getting the gold coins, he still ordered the killing of the tribe.

In response, the Aztecs' dead souls cast a curse on the gold, and anyone who took a gold coin would suffer permanent punishment like a "living dead".

Byron extracted one of the skull gold coins and used it as a medium to curse the gold of the entire city.

All of this gold was contaminated with a similar curse of the living dead.

The colonists who took the gold could eat and drink to maintain a normal life, but they would be like the walking dead and would never feel any happiness in the world again.

Those with weak wills might not be able to hold on for long and would commit suicide.

Even if the Church of the Creator declares that suicides cannot be redeemed.

Exemption conditions: 1. Return the gold to the golden city located in the center of the lake, and kill a thief who stole the gold with your own hands, and wash away the sins on the gold with his blood.

2. Obtain permission from Byron, the heir to the empire and the owner of the gold.

So Byron looked at the Hastings expeditionary force around him and was also ready to scramble for the gold, but he was not in a hurry at all.

"Take it, take it, that's not gold, that's your life-buying money."

But before they set off.

"Monster!"

"Ahhhh"

Suddenly there was a scream at the end of the team, and there were broken limbs and arms thrown wantonly.

When Byron turned his head, he saw a tall black figure rushing through the Hastings expeditionary force, as if he was in an empty space.

Wherever it passed, the pirates and colonists fell down neatly like harvested wheat.

But it was obviously targeted when killing people.

Those whose hands were stained with the blood of the Azk people were more likely to be attacked. The logistics personnel who had not killed anyone would be spared even if they bumped into him.

"Oh no, that's [Tarsil God]?!"

Geronimo, who was standing next to him, exclaimed at the same time.

The old man obviously recognized the identity of the visitor.

[Tarsil God] galloped on his horse, and in just a few breaths, he had killed through the team and rushed to the lake where a group of senior officials were.

It also allowed Byron and others to see its appearance clearly.

He was wearing a dirty deerskin battle robe, and black maggots were drilling in his body.

His head was a white and terrifying skeleton, holding an obsidian saw sword and an obsidian spear called "Makwawit".

He rode a skeletal warhorse wrapped in worn-out ropes and caltrops, with sparks spurting out of its mouth and nose.

If you look from a distance, you might think it was the Wild Hunt knight who also rode a skeleton warhorse and came back to kill again.

But this was indeed not the Wild Hunt, but the [Cursed Spirit] that they had heard about in Tarasco, the first stop on the island, which was born from the massacre of the Castilians.

The words that Geronimo said at the time were still ringing in my ears:

"During that time, [Tarsil God] was like a maggot in the tarsal bone, wandering in the vast rainforest all day long, killing all outsiders with the blood of the Azk people on their hands.

It has become the patron saint of the Azk Empire."

It is said that decades ago, it was killed once by the Castilian military chaplain with the [Holy Relic·Fragment of the True Cross].

The cross that once nailed the [Creator] to death is naturally unpredictable.

But the [Cursed Spirit] is also truly immortal.

Now the same kind of massacre has happened again.

Moreover, the three core city-states of the Azik Empire were destroyed at the same time, which immediately resurrected the cursed spirit that had been dormant for decades.

Carrying the boundless anger of the Azik people, he resumed his hunting career.

"No, run!

Even a third-level extraordinary person would not be the opponent of this monster."

In fact, the level of [Tarsal God] is not higher than that of [Funeral Bird-beaked Plague Doctor].

But the different killing methods of the two also determine that their deterrence in the eyes of outsiders is completely different.

The Bird-beaked Plague Doctor is a strategic-level freak, which may completely destroy a civilization, but will not actively hunt down a few strong people. As long as it is immune to the smallpox virus, it is completely harmless.

[Tarsal God] belongs to the tactical level, and its killing range may be far less than the former. Even if it is released to kill for a lifetime, it is impossible to kill all the outsiders.

But its threat to extraordinary people is far from comparable to the former.

The entire expeditionary force fled in all directions.

In order to sacrifice blood to [Mother of Creation Lilith], the swarm of insects, whose hands were already stained with the blood of the Azk people, suddenly dispersed and turned into countless locusts and rushed into the sky.

But Major General Newman beside him did not have such ability. Just as he was watched by the Tarsal God, he shuddered violently.

He cried out in his heart:

"Am I going to die?"

But he heard Byron and Bill shouting in unison:

"Don't even think about hurting the general!"

Then they stood in front of Newman, one on the left and one on the right, and he was so moved that he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Okay, okay, if I don't die today, I will help you become a high official, reduce taxes, smuggle arms, and I will marry my daughter to you!"

Others were scared to death, and Bruch was a little nervous, only Byron was fearless and even wanted to laugh.

One of the abilities of the shaman mask [Symbol of God]: It can communicate with the god of death Apuch and borrow some of his power.

As the god of death Apuch was dragged off the altar by believers, he was transformed into the immortal and terrifying Tarsal God.

This ability is actually to communicate with the [Tarsal God].

The result may be good or bad.

If Byron had been the heir to the empire before, he might have really needed to gamble.

But now just standing there, the guardian god of the Azik Empire [Tarsal God] has subconsciously turned a corner.

He rushed into the lake around their location and continued to kill in the direction of the royal city.

There are too many targets with blood feuds with Azik here, but the [Tarsil God] who kills according to fixed rules only picks the biggest one to fight.

Soon, a bloody storm was set off in the opposite royal city, and countless exclamations and screams were heard.

"The royal city is cursed, we can't stay here anymore."

"Tarsil God is alive too, run!"

"."

Most people have not yet realized that there is a problem with the gold.

They just think that this piece of Azik land is cursed, and they all run out of the city with the gold they found.

The expeditionary army that escaped the disaster did not dare to stay any longer and turned around and ran away.

The scene was in chaos.

Byron bent down and picked up an inconspicuous deerskin waist bag that someone didn't know dropped on the ground, and tied it to his belt.

That was Beatrice's storage treasure [Snakeskin Bag]:

"This is a bag that looks like it is made of spotted snake skin. It can change its shape freely, including but not limited to color, material, and size.

The largest appearance is: 45 cm * 25 cm * 35 cm, similar to a suitcase; the smallest is: 10 cm * 9 cm * 1 cm, similar to a wallet.

The actual internal volume is 5 m * 5 m * 5 m, and the maximum load is only ten tons, which means it can only hold a mere ten cubic meters of fresh water."

The inscription on the cut: "Python swallows elephant."

It was Alvin, the [Falcon], who changed his skin and sent it back.

When Byron got this treasure, he was immediately determined.

Let's not talk about how much the precious storage prop is worth.

A series of extremely sinister assassinations achieved with the help of storage capabilities have been brewing in his mind, such as: installing ten 32-pound carronades

Now it contains some of the most valuable gold products in the royal city, but it is still just a drop in the bucket compared to the rest.

In addition, there are [Wonderful Item·Dancer Who Dances at Will] and [Holy Relic·The First Overseas Development Order of the Age of Exploration] left by Cortes.

These things have reached the storage limit of [Snake Skin Bag], and he couldn't take away more gold.

"What's more regrettable is that the original 882 Azik gold coins were not here, but were taken away by the group of colonists who completed the massacre.

Those gold coins have more magical effects, not only have disadvantages, but also have advantages.

It looks like Edward Redbeard, which can force the holder to lock between life and death and be immune to all physical attacks.

It doesn't work when facing powerful extraordinary people, but it is undoubtedly a divine weapon among ordinary pirates.

I know their whereabouts, but I haven't decided whether to take them."

It is said that the stone box containing gold coins was looted by pirates on the road.

It fell into the hands of Flint, a famous pirate on the sea.

If you just say this name, many people may not react.

But if we talk about the "Treasure Island" that randomly appears in the sea every prime number of years, then everyone knows it (Chapter 69).

That island is where the great pirate Flint hid his treasure.

It just so happened that Byron had a treasure map leading there, and the next time the island would appear was this year.

However, when Byron saw the worried-looking grandfather and grandson Geronimo and Wyandot, he immediately realized that the most critical issue now was actually: solving the smallpox plague!
