Pirate Kingship

Hearing this voice that was exactly the same as the autobiographical poem at the entrance of the maze, Byron was still a little unbelievable even though he had already guessed:

"Are you the great pirate Flint? Are you really not dead yet?

But why are you trapped on this evil treasure island? Mate Thomas misses you very much. "

"well!"

The voice on the opposite side first let out a long sigh and then continued weakly:

"That's me.

This matter is a long story, so you gentlemen and ladies, please come to the core of the third floor of the maze first. I will explain it to you in detail on the way. "

The rule of "same-sex attraction" came again, and the invisible force pulled them together towards the core of the third floor.

However, after reaching the third level, Byron's abilities were sealed by white lead and he completely turned into an ordinary person.

Although Violet's power was also suppressed, she could still use it.

In a pair of sapphire-like eyes, it was obvious that Byron was eager to give Byron a princess hug.

But considering the height difference of 165/190 between the two sides, we can only give up with regret.

She took his hand naturally and shouted softly:

"The body is as light as a swallow!"

The [Strange Object Boots·Petrel Wings] worn on their feet sprouted two pairs of small wings. Guided by that attraction, the two of them increased their speed.

Although the speed is not as fast as Byron's Storm Child, it is still much faster than running on foot.

While the two of them were following Flint's instructions and hurrying on their way, a second perspective appeared in front of their eyes.

I saw Flint’s true appearance in that fourth-level lighthouse.

There is only one spirit inhabiting the contract.

And most of them have lost their human form and transformed into a cicada monkey, also called a nymph.

It is covered with a golden carapace that looks like pure gold, with three pairs of legs growing between its chest and abdomen. Only one head still retains a roughly human appearance.

But one eye also became a cicada's compound eye, and three single red eyes sprouted from his forehead, giving him five eyes like a cicada.

Only the last human right eye was still clear, slightly shining with the golden light of reason.

"hiss--!"

Even though Byron and Violet had seen too many evil grotesques, they were still full of physical discomfort with the combination of humans and insects before them.

I couldn't help but gasp.

Flint smiled to himself:

“As you can see, my current state is really not very good.

My control over the "Faustian Pact" is far less than that of the corrupted evil spirit in my body, or my 'animal' side.

If you hadn't made the right choice, I wouldn't have been able to communicate with you.

Introduce yourself.

During my lifetime, I was Flint, the fourth-level pirate warlord of the lighthouse sequence, and also a [Lamp Holder] responsible for guarding the cracks in the world in the Lighthouse Federation!

I think that since you have come to the Bantaan Islands, you must have heard of the ‘Lighthouse Federation’ or even dealt with them, right? "

Hearing these two words, Byron and Violet looked at each other:

"Lighthouse Federation? Lampbearers?"

They are naturally very familiar with this organization.

Whenever night falls, beams of light will pierce the darkness and shoot straight into the sky throughout the Bantaan Islands.

Each light pillar represents a lighthouse built by the Lighthouse Federation.

Human settlements can be without churches, but they must be without lighthouses and taverns.

Currently, a large lighthouse for Torrent Fortress is also under planning, but construction has not started yet.

Catherine has been working with people at the International Harbor Lighthouse Federation office on specific matters.

As for the "Lighthouse Federation" itself, it is an international organization composed of many extraordinary people of the lighthouse sequence, and its official members include and only have extraordinary people of the lighthouse sequence.

Have the largest number of navigators, pirates, gunners, sailors, and navigators

No matter which force applies, as long as the land owner pays the fee, they will build three-level lighthouses from low to high everywhere humans reach.

He played the most important role in mankind's overseas development.

It can be said that without this third-party public organization, the current Age of Discovery would not have been possible.

But they are a little unfamiliar with the word "Lamp Holder".

Flint also saw their doubts and explained to them carefully:

"[Lamp Holder] is often associated with taboo knowledge. It is knowledge that is restricted from spreading. It is normal that you don't know it.

In the Church's "Creation Gospel", the world is a huge sailing ship sailing on the vast sea of ​​Sephiroth.

From the cracks in the ship's planks, which are also the cracks in the world, the tide of source matter and secret knowledge seeped into this world, creating a variety of extraordinary powers.

But if the gaps between the ship's planks are too large, water could leak, allowing excess essentia to tidal into the world.

Threaten the safety of nearby humans and even our entire ship.

When our Lighthouse Federation was building lighthouses all over the world, we discovered that the number of "ship cracks" far exceeded human imagination.

Especially in overseas areas, the further away from the Old World, the greater the number of cracks and the higher the risk.

By the way, referring to the influence classification of [Holy Relic], the world rift is also divided into four levels:

Level three, level two, level one, and level zero correspond to village and town level, city-state level, national level, and world level.

The [Lantern Bearers] who exist after facing the cracks are the names of the crack guardians in the Lighthouse Federation.

After Flint's brief explanation, Byron and Violet quickly figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

Because of the road, the extraordinary people of the Lighthouse Sequence are always stationed at the border between the "humanized world" and the "natural world".

Every extraordinary person of the Lighthouse Sequence is the vanguard of resisting the source tide.

This is especially true for those [Lantern Bearers].

The [Lantern Bearers] of the world are also called lighthouse watchers.

Responsible for using their own lighthouses to monitor the cracks that appear in this world, and to use the power of the [Silver Law] to suppress the source tide.

It is known as the most dangerous profession in the world together with the [Night Watchers] of the church.

Of course, if you violate the human It is obviously impossible to let all members of the Federation rely on the spirit of sacrifice to maintain the existence of the organization and the noble cause.

Even if it can be maintained for a while, ten years, or decades, it will definitely not last long.

With responsibility comes power, and with dedication comes rewards.

Every extraordinary person in the lighthouse sequence can get huge benefits from this kind of watcher work.

Not only is the spiritual growth rate faster, but even the difficulty of the promotion ceremony is much lower than that of other extraordinary people.

Needless to say, the discount when inviting the Federation to build a lighthouse.

When Flint said this, the majestic look on his face quietly dissipated, and turned into deep helplessness:

"There is a second-level crack on this Treasure Island that is enough to allow the passage of middle-sequence monsters. According to common sense, the danger rating is not high.

I thought that with the strength of a fourth-level pirate and the help of the first-level [Holy Relic·Faust Contract], I could independently guard this second-level crack.

But the bad thing is that on the other side of the world crack, the corpse of an extraordinary existence [Greed Worm·Mammon] drifted here with the tide.

Its followers came up in piles.

As a lone ranger, my [anchor] is not strong enough.

I was polluted by the knowledge released by the other side, and began to fall uncontrollably.

That so-called treasure map that lured others here was born because of this.

Although I took remedial measures and limited the rules of the world to prime years.

But after a long time, I will also fall into the followers and minions of the greedy worm on the other side, and I can no longer restrict its followers from entering the world. "

[The Lantern Man] looked at the two people with burning eyes:

"I need someone to help me!

The reason why I don't look for those real artists in the Hall Sequence.

It's because they are too sharp. When they open their spiritual vision, they can often see many things that they shouldn't see. In fact, they are walking time bombs.

Just approaching the main body of the "Faust Contract" may cause it to lose control on the spot.

It is because this contract really contracts a "devil" in the source sea.

Only people like Faust can be unaffected and complete the mission of guarding this world crack. "

No matter how evil the human race is, there are always some individuals who can be called true heroes.

Not just a fourth-level job.

Although Byron and Violet felt that it was difficult for them to become such heroes, it did not prevent them from respecting such people.

Until Flint made a request with a strange smile on his half-human, half-insect face, the smile was particularly creepy:

"Now it's time for you to make a choice again.

You can inherit my treasure, my "Faust Contract", my seat in the Lighthouse Federation, and even inherit some of my extraordinary abilities through the "Pirate Treasure Chest" ceremony.

But in exchange, you must also inherit my responsibility as the [Lantern Bearer] to guard this world rift! "
