The urgent injury on Bruch's body finally became the last straw for Byron to make up his mind to start the ritual to refine [Transmutation Blood].
With the effect of the first entry [Historical Corrector], he could not escape the vortex that was about to stir up the situation in the entire Beihai.
But not only did he get the protection of the first-level rare item [Storm Seal Ring], but he also had a trump card to draw [Holy Relic] based on the decryption density to save his life.
Byron decided to take the initiative and let his hands and feet go.
Not only must we chop off a few minions of the York family, but we must also find a way to sabotage the Admiralty's plan for Anchor Bay and make them really feel the pain!
It would be even better if you could unlock [Secret: The Shadow of the Red and White Rose War].
The worst case scenario is that you have to sacrifice yourself, join their camp, and be their loyal "confidant"!
before executing the plan.
Byron needs to find a well-informed local snake to help him dig out all the privateer captains who serve the Kingdom of Hattings.
And he happened to have a perfect candidate.
"Bizhi, go and invite Gus over. I'll see him if I have something to do."
The honest man Ba Zhi, who had been standing by the side, heard this name, but his face was blank:
"Gus?
Captain, who is Gus? Aren’t we just the two of us going out today?
It seems that none of the slaves I bought are named Gus? "
Apparently, he had forgotten all about Gus just by turning his head.
Money-mad Gus isn't far behind.
When he was about to leave, the crew of the Golden Deer was about to start dinner. He had been hungry all morning, so he sat down at the dining table.
When Byron found him in person, he was eating the special dish on the "Golden Hart", pancakes and black pepper haggis soup.
It’s also a crew-only version, and the captain doesn’t eat it.
With a pancake in one hand and a spoon in the other, he ate heartily.
Not surprisingly, except for Byron himself, no one else noticed that there was another person beside them.
"Ah, Mr. Captain, you are here!"
Gus picked up the bowl and drank the mutton soup together, patting his belly with satisfaction.
He looked up just in time to see Byron sitting quietly next to him, looking at him with eyes full of..."a rare thing to live in".
He quickly put down the soup bowl and said hello sheepishly.
"Well... the food we cooked is so delicious, I can't help it, I really can't help it.
However, I will never take advantage of my friends. "
As he spoke, he pointed to the long fir table in the hotel, where the two unheated copper coins that Bazhi had given him were placed.
Although he was not discovered by anyone, he was not planning to escape the bill.
Perhaps what he said before: "Actually, I don't like money, what I really like is freedom and dignity.
It just happens that money can bring freedom and dignity. "
It really comes from my heart.
Byron believed that if he had had this ability since he was a child, he might not have the self-control of a slave guild like him who only eats for free.
For others, he might have already become a frequent visitor to shops, banks, or even... women's bathhouses.
Who wouldn't like to be friends with such a bottom-line person?
Bad guys may even be more likely to be friends with such guys than good guys.
Byron took the two copper coins from him, extended a hand to him with a smile, and said straight to the point very sincerely:
"Mr. Gus, I wonder if you are interested in joining the [Golden Deer] and working for me?"
Michael is not good at reading people, but his ability to read people is outstanding.
The [Navigation Log] clearly states:
"I was born to awaken the [shielding presence] of the [Assassin] profession, but accidentally lost my only... [Anchor] in the process of growing up!
Not only is it impossible to become a transcendent, but it is not even certain that one day he will suddenly disappear from this world.
Unless he finds someone who can always remember him, it is possible to get everything back on track. "
It is by no means an easy task to find such a person and bind a strong enough anchor.
Otherwise Gus wouldn't have failed 887 times in a row.
In fact, Byron can't do it either, purely because of the magical effect of [Logbook] connected to spirituality.
Use his cognition as an analogy.
Gus has a constant function of automatically clearing the "cache". As soon as others turn their heads, the information he left in other people's consciousness will be automatically cleared.
As time goes by, those old acquaintances who have known each other since childhood, and whose anchor chain is far more stable than strangers, are gradually forgetting him.
When no one in this world remembers Gus, he will probably completely disappear from this world without any trace.
But Byron can check the external historical records at any time through [Echoes of History], just like recording them in his own mind.
It's nothing more than the difference between a hard drive and an external mobile hard drive.
"Your Excellency, Captain, I am willing to serve you!"
Faced with Byron's solicitation, Gus agreed without any hesitation, immediately stood up and held Byron's hand firmly.
He really dreams of finding someone who won't forget him.
I originally wanted to take advantage of it and conquer Byron with my special talent, but I didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly.
As long as Byron is anchored through the [Ten Commandments of Pirates], he can prepare for the promotion ceremony and try to actively control his abilities.
You no longer have to worry about being forgotten by acquaintances.
"Great, I can finally take up my job and become a real [Assassin]."
——[Assassin] in the arena sequence.
The most representative of this sequence is [Gladiator], which is also one of the oldest professions that has been passed down to this day.
There are three branches based on fighting style and weapons used: Momiro Fighters, Thracian Fighters, and Web Fighters.
It is said that the first assassins were born in the gladiatorial arenas of the First Empire.
The Thracian warriors, who were usually best at using daggers and daggers, gathered together to suddenly assassinate the dignitaries who came to make fun of them.
He also became the ancestor of all modern assassins.
Sequence motto: Live towards death!
Gus, who possesses the powerful talent of [Shielding Presence], is destined to be either a thief or an assassin, so he is a perfect match for this sequence.
However, after Byron recognized his rare talent, he helped him choose another path.
Hundreds of years ago in the central part of the continent, the Eagle's Nest Assassin Group created a powerful new profession: [Eagle's Nest Assassin].
He has almost ruled an era with his terrifying assassination capabilities, and the assassinations he initiated have frightened all the nobles on the continent.
Proficient in swordsmanship, disguise, assassination, theft, traps, explosives... all.
One of the most iconic abilities is [Eagle Leap], which allows you to jump from a building no matter how high it is without falling to your death as long as you hold a pigeon feather!
After being annihilated by the knights who organized the Western Expedition of the Church, the corresponding prerequisite knowledge, training manuals, and promotion rituals of the Eagle's Nest Assassin Group were also seized.
It fell into the hands of high-level officials from various countries on the mainland, and underwent adaptive transformation along different routes in the following hundreds of years.
An inheritance held by the Lancaster family is called [Phantom Blade].
Ability to freely control one's own sense of existence.
In the low sequence, you can manipulate the illusion, and in the middle sequence, you can even give the illusion a sense of existence. A small dagger can turn into a door panel and a big sword in an instant, and you can kill people with your imagination.
Not only an assassin, but also the most perfect scout and intelligence agent.
Byron is now poor and only has all kinds of extraordinary knowledge in his head.
As long as there is an opportunity to turn it into power or wealth, he will never miss it.
When he was about to describe a glorious future for Gus as the "King of Assassins" and encourage him to work hard for himself.
"correct!"
Gus suddenly raised his head and looked at Byron, rubbing his hands with a flattering smile on his face:
"Captain, now that I am one of your own, do you think you can pay me back the... two copper coins for food?"
