Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 34: Abilities beyond Sequence (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
When the promotion ceremony ended and Byron's consciousness returned to reality, there was still deep fear and panic in his blue eyes.

"What happened to the lighthouse that just disappeared? Why do I feel like I've seen it before?

It always feels like that night."

At the same time, the log [Secret: Shadow of the Red and White Rose War (Historical Influence 31%, Decipherability 12%)]

The solution density also suddenly jumped from 12% to 20%!
This shows that there is indeed a connection between the two.

Unfortunately, even in the royal books of a country, there is no description of the vast black ocean "Sea of ​​​​Source".

It was as if it wanted to completely cut off the connection between humans and the black ocean from the source of everyone's cognition.

Not only can we not explore, we can't even understand it.

But Byron clearly remembered that the title page of the "Logbook" read:

“Some say we live on a peaceful island called ignorance, surrounded by an endless black ocean.

Maybe I shouldn't have set sail from the beginning!

But we have to do it.”

The two philosophies are completely different.

The water in this world is obviously bottomless. Even Byron, who experienced the War of the Red and White Roses firsthand, has only touched a tiny part of it.

It would be extremely dangerous to continue exploring.

But he also remembered deeply the advice of the [Ship's Log]: The great flood of this world has never receded, so you must tie your [anchor] tightly!
Perhaps as long as your anchor is thick and big enough, you will eventually learn the truth.

Let's put this matter aside for now.

Byron reorganized his mindset and began to check the abilities he had gained at the first level of the [Storm Knight] squire.

Seeing the three abilities that appeared after [Cognition Correction] and [Weather Intuition] in the [Ship Log], I silently said:
"It was as expected, without any surprises or personality."

1. [Swordsmanship Mastery]:
One of the common abilities of melee professionals.

The law gives you the experience accumulated by your ancestors over countless years.

An ordinary person can master the use of various sword weapons without practice and greatly improve his original swordsmanship level.

2. [Mountain Goat Footsteps]
A must-have for every pirate and adventurer.

Even after freeing his hands, he could still move between the rigging and the mast as if it were flat ground, leaping ten meters horizontally and three meters vertically.

No matter how you turn and move, you will not fall off the mast that is dozens of meters high.

3. [Riding]:
A unique ability for all knight classes.

It embodies all the riding experience of our ancestors and can skillfully ride a horse, drive a car, or even any other means of transportation.

The riding ability obtained by [Storm Rider] focuses more on controlling the sea breeze, which can make people who have never touched a sailboat become a master of sailing in an instant.

[Silver Law] connects the spirituality of all human beings throughout the ages.

In the seven layers of the law network, from shallow to deep, lies all the history, knowledge and even the experiences that can only be understood but not expressed in words of the human race.

The human race has been able to stand out after millions of years of evolution, so naturally it has many innate extraordinary abilities.

The initial abilities of a first-level attendant mainly come from three aspects:

The first is the brain.

Among the corresponding series of abilities, the most representative one is the [Extensive Knowledge and Strong Memory] of the non-combat scholars in the Tower Sequence.

Once awakened, you will instantly remember everything you see, and can even share a public database with others.

The second is endurance.

We dare not say that humans are the kings of endurance, but they can definitely be called the strong in endurance, second only to sled dogs and mules among ordinary animals.

The evolution of [Extraordinary Endurance], [Stone Will], etc. can enable people to possess extraordinary endurance.

The third is flexible hands and joints.

Even though cats and weasels are very flexible, they cannot touch their backs with their paws, but humans can do this easily. We can even touch our belly buttons with our backhands.

The five-finger grasping ability is unique in the world, and it can perform fine movements best, use tools, and thread a needle.

It evolved into a series of abilities including [Swordsmanship Mastery], [Military Weapon Mastery], [Riding], [Mountain Goat Footsteps], etc.

Most of these abilities are passive abilities that are not flashy or fantastic at all, and their power is very ordinary.

Even the initial capabilities of each sequence are basically fixed.

From the moment you step onto the first step of the [Stairs of Glory], you can see the end at a glance.

[Storm Knight] This profession is a superior profession derived from pirates, which is equivalent to a combination of pirates in the ocean and knights on land.

It combines the advantages of both and has its own characteristics.

In the squire stage, the three abilities of [Swordsmanship Mastery], [Mountain Goat Footsteps], and [Riding] allow him to easily become a leader in sea battles.

But he is no different from other [Storm Knights] and has no personality.

To be honest, Byron actually really wanted that extraordinary endurance, cough, it was [Extraordinary Stamina].

"However, compared to the universal templates of others, I have a fourth unique ability!"

Don't forget that Byron achieved sublimation in a bloody ritual centered on "plunder".

What was taken away was not only Salman's pirate ship, crew, treasure, and rare objects, but also one of his extraordinary powers.

Perhaps it was the combined effect of [heartache] and ritual.

What Byron took away from Salman was not the basic ability of [Gourmet] at the squire level.

Anyway, apart from the second-level [Food Supplement], he doesn't care about the rest.

Rather, it is the forbidden knowledge of the [Blood Brew] series, the ritual witchcraft of brewing [Transmutation Blood] - [Blood Holy Grail]!
Even the modified man-eating sharks in the sea were inherited.

There is absolutely no problem with Storm Knight's frontal combat capability, and it ranks among the best in the major sequences that make up the [Ladder of Glory].

However, the auxiliary ability is obviously much worse.

Moreover, no matter how powerful the extraordinary people of the orthodox [Ladder of Glory] are, they are only improving on the spiritual level and cannot escape the shackles of the Silver Law.

The essence of human beings will never change, and the level of life will be upgraded. People will age, die, and get sick.

If it weren't for his uncle, Mad King Henry VI, he would have inherited intermittent mental illness from his maternal grandfather, King Charles VI of the Iris Kingdom.

The York family also had no chance to rebel.

For these problems, the forbidden knowledge that is not included in the [Silver Law] can solve them all!
It's just that Byron was afraid of the price he would have to pay to learn forbidden knowledge.

Even though I have already bought the raw materials, I have been hesitating whether to start brewing [Blood Brew].

Now that this black magic has been seized through a formal promotion ceremony, it is equivalent to incorporating part of it into the system of the [Silver Law].

With the Law to share, the cost of using this power in rituals must be greatly reduced.

Of course, taboo knowledge is taboo knowledge after all, and it will still be subject to strict restrictions.

It can only be Byron's.

Unlike other regular abilities, when another Storm Knight takes office, it is possible to gain the skills and experience of his predecessors from the [Silver Law].

Hereby, Byron's abilities in all aspects were comprehensively strengthened.

The protection of [Storm Seal Ring] was activated simultaneously, and he no longer had to worry about being caught by any prophecy.

After fleeing for many days, he finally had the capital to settle down.

“It’s not over yet.”

Byron took out a piece of white cloth from his pocket, which also had some blood stains on it.

That was the blood left on the blade of the finger-finger sword by the monkey finger when he was fighting with the assassin!
Since he was targeting me from the beginning, it would help me a lot even if it was an accident.

Now we must strike him dead while he is still ill and eradicate the problem completely!
