Under the same night sky.
Byron, who didn't know that he had been regarded by Red Beard as being in the same group as the gunpowder artist, once again came to Liuying Street and began to select suitable replacement targets.
Activate [Cognition Modification] to turn yourself into a street tree.
As Bruch fully recovered, his "anchor" representing interpersonal relationships gradually became firmer, and the texture of his spiritual aura became thicker and thicker.
During the day, in addition to the massacre order, Byron also learned from Bruch.
Including his aunt Queen Margaret, all the female members of the Lancaster family were handed over to the church after the war and were imprisoned in a monastery on an isolated island.
Most of them are foreign nobles who married into Lancaster. They are not recognized by the [Iron Law of Royal Power and Magna Carta], so their lives are guaranteed.
If nothing else happens, he will most likely end up alone in the monastery.
As for the surviving female family members of the core vassal families of the Lancastrian party, Bruch was unclear.
“Whether it is promotion or in-depth study of forbidden knowledge, a sufficiently stable [anchor] is a prerequisite.
In addition to all the family members who have been confirmed to be dead, a few of the core vassals who are being hunted down may not be able to escape.
But I only have so many anchors that represent interpersonal relationships, and I must never give up on them!
It is imperative to break into the York party.
This time the whirlpool in Iron Anchor Bay was my best opportunity. "
Compared with these close people, Byron never worried that the largest number of non-core vassals, officers and soldiers of the Lancastrian party would be liquidated and massacred.
It’s not that Byron was utilitarian or cool.
It's because even when his uncle [Mad King] Henry VI was intermittently ill, it was impossible for him to do such a crazy thing.
Anyone who has lived in the countryside will probably have a deep understanding of this.
How much energy can a prosperous local household have in the local area?
What's more, the lords who monopolized all aspects of local politics, economy, culture, justice, etc., and even used knights and private soldiers to control the local military?
The tree has big roots, deep roots and intricate knots. To them, it is really not an empty talk.
It is normal to die in war, but to die in massacres outside of war will 100% lead to further rebellion.
After all, even the centralized emperor of the Celestial Empire can't do anything to the domestic clans, so why should the king who is restricted by the Magna Carta?
No matter who sits on the throne of king, they need their help.
Byron knew that during the war, Lancaster's large amounts of land and wealth were used to bribe the nobles in order to gain their support.
It is not uncommon for the eldest son of a family to live in Lancaster and the second son to work in York.
If it were to be thoroughly cleaned from top to bottom, the ruling order of the entire country would be shaken, and the king himself would be at his wits end.
Byron believes that when he has the strength to fight back to Hattings.
These people may become your potential strength and your potential [anchor]!
As long as... it can bring them greater benefits.
His most important task now is to focus on improving his own strength.
Wait until late at night.
Several second-level professional-level extraordinary beings from the privateering alliance were spared one after another.
Byron finally saw two swaying first-order attendants walking out of a Moulin Rouge theater and a bar two minutes apart.
One faces east and one faces west.
After weighing the situation, Byron signaled to the dark place and quietly followed the one heading east.
Nothing else, I just feel that after the dancers’ enthusiasm, this one’s physical strength must be even worse!
...
[Know-it-all] Franklin Joshur, the [Naturalist] of the Tower Sequence.
Sequence motto: Use knowledge to drive away ignorance!
Naturalists are undoubtedly the most knowledgeable group of people in the world, and they have a high degree of universal applicability to various extraordinary abilities.
At the attendant stage, you can ignore knowledge, cut inscriptions, chant, and use all witchcraft creations, rare objects, and holy relics without any threshold.
At least their basic abilities can be used.
If it is a universal extraordinary instrument, it can exert effects far beyond those of other professions and greatly reduce side effects.
There is also a public library called the "Key to Omniscient" hidden in their brains. Like the levels of the law, it is divided into seven levels.
The higher the rank of a naturalist, the higher the level of knowledge he can access.
All existing human knowledge can even be retrieved.
It's a pity that although this [Jack of All Trades] knows everything, he just doesn't understand people!
The Privateering Alliance accepted the mission issued by Edward the Redbeard, but was assassinated because they were really worried that they would be confused later.
He restrained almost all the first-order servants from going out, but he and another unlucky guy were allowed to wander around.
As a [naturalist], how could he not know what it was for?
Even a deaf person knows that there is a [Wild Hunt] who is frantically hunting down the pirates of the Privateering Alliance.
This morning, even Captain Edward, the mid-sequence extraordinary person [Red Beard], was attacked in full view of the public, which shows the madness of the attacker.
The Privateering Alliance immediately began to execute "Operation Cage" to capture [Wild Hunt].
And their two first-order attendants were exactly the bait.
The captains were worried that sending only one person would make [Wild Hunt] suspicious, so they simply sent two, and arranged for [Faceless Man] and [Ripper] to ambush separately.
As long as any party allows [Wild Hunt] to bite the hook, this serious enemy will definitely die!
It is also strange that Franklin prides himself on being a rare learned man among pirates. He is too aloof and always looks down on other vulgar pirates who can't even read.
But he also likes to pry into other people's secrets, especially the side effects of various taboo knowledge.
This desire is almost as strong as the price.
It only took a few days to offend a lot of people.
When [Wan Shitong] asked people why Captain Redbeard could not die today, he was decisively pushed out and used as bait.
"I'm just an ordinary scholar who is more interested in treasure hunting than murder and arson. I just want to follow Red Beard to see the great secret treasure legendary among Bay people.
Don’t come looking for me, go find [Hunter] Black! "
At this time, Franklin, who was not a combat professional, was like a frightened bird, suspicious of everything he looked at while walking on the road.
I don't know where the enemy is, nor where is the "yellow bird" that the alliance has arranged to protect them.
He firmly grasped the few [Whale Bone Talismans] he bought at a great price in his pocket.
clatter!
In the darkness where he could only hear his own beating heartbeat, a very obvious footsteps suddenly sounded.
Franklin carefully looked behind him with the silver mirror he carried, but found that there was no figure there at all.
My mind couldn't help but recall the legend about the "Wild Hunt" told by Bay residents.
They originally came to Iron Anchor Bay to do bad things in the Privateering Alliance.
Even though he knew that the attacker was probably a human being and not some local elf or ghost, he still couldn't help but become more and more frightened as he thought about it.
[Jack of all trades] Just like the six seniors who fell under Byron's sword, he gradually lost his rhythm and ran faster and faster.
And the footsteps behind him were chasing after him.
First, Gus, who couldn't wait to complete [Ritual: The Phantom Killer's Serial Murders], followed quietly.
Then came Byron who activated [Cognitive Correction].
A tactic that has proven its superiority will only be perfected before it actually fails, and will not be abandoned at will.
Their hunting methods are no exception.
It's just that it's a little different from the previous actions.
Just when Byron gave Gus a gesture to tell him to take action, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him...
