Pirate Kingship.

Chapter 587: Second round begins: You are as ridiculous as your cover!
Regardless of whether the car was going to the kindergarten or not, Byron obviously couldn't get off.

The information originally showed Salome as a fourth-level dancer, but after removing her veil, she revealed her strength as a fifth-level legendary dancer.

Even among all the extraordinary people in the Palace Sequence in the Old Continent, he is definitely a powerful existence that can be ranked top.

Under normal circumstances, once a transcendent person is promoted, no one will hide it.

This level of extraordinary people themselves represent huge benefits and strategic deterrence to any country.

Unless there are major problems with the promotion method that are absolutely unforgivable, or it contains some unspeakable secrets.

"According to the consistent style of the [Fateful Clown] to bring fear to the world, this dancer probably did something bad during the 'Alluring Dance' ceremony in order to get promoted.

Then he hid his head and showed his tail, secretly ran to the sea, and ambushed me together with the "traitor".

Of course, the more likely possibility is that it is a coincidence, and the one that this tiger is trying to eat may not be me.

Every legend has an unshakable obsession, and every magic has the potential to create miracles. If it weren’t for the Sunstone Calendar, it might have really failed.”

After watching Salome perform the Dance of the Seven Veils with his own eyes, Byron found that his feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and he could not even close his eyes and not watch her performance.

This should not only be the power of the magic itself, but also the level 0 holy relic left by [Venus Goddess] Ishtar that greatly increases the power of the magic.

He could only watch the beautiful and enchanting dancer Salome, with affectionate eyes, dancing and taking off her clothes.

First, there was the glittering golden crown on her head, and her long black hair cascading down like a waterfall, followed by the sparkling crystal earrings on her earlobes, and then the necklace around her neck.
Sometimes her dancing posture is like a pure deer in the forest, and sometimes like an enchanting fairy. Every dance step she takes touches the heart of every man.

The jingling of her pearl necklace, her every frown and smile, and her hair to her toes painted in seductive black are all full of intoxicating charm, enchanting and extremely seductive.

Even between life and death, one can hardly resist the urge to hold her in his arms and take good care of her.

Every time this [Lustful Elf] took off an ornament from her body, she would move one step closer to Byron.

After three steps, in addition to the wonderful and moving dance moves, even the warm and fragrant body fragrance continued to penetrate Byron's body through his eyes, ears, mouth, nose and even the pores of his body.

It made him feel as if he was in the clouds, floating a little.

All the senses of her body were easily conquered by the opponent. The most basic ability of the dancer profession [Body Rhythm] had already been mastered by this legendary dancer.

It's comparable to Byron's power of [Fraud] which can manipulate other people's senses.

As time went by, Byron noticed that Salome's appearance had changed slightly and became more in line with his own aesthetic.

Beauties with a score above 90 all have their own characteristics, but everyone has different preferences due to different aesthetic tastes.

The stars who have the widest audience and are recognized by the general public may be far inferior to the less popular beauties who are not as famous in the eyes of some people.

Just like at this moment, when targeting Byron alone, this [Love Elf] seemed to have smoothed out the last trace of flaws in himself and turned him into a private tailor.

Every one of them happened to be right in his heart.

Even if Louis XI, who was disgusted by the sight of women, came, he would definitely not escape the fate of being infatuated with her.

"wrong!"

As Byron watched, he suddenly became alert.

Although this is a virtual timeline, nothing can be brought back to the real world except the information seen and heard, and there will be no injury or death.

As a result, Byron, who originally wanted to see the opponent's methods and find flaws, naturally did not have much psychological resistance.

But after Salome took three steps forward, she suddenly realized that it was not that she had failed to break free, but that her strength had weakened drastically for some reason, and she was completely unable to break free even if she wanted to.

The aura reflected and examined itself, and found that when Salome took off three layers of jewelry, three layers of its seven layers of divine aura were also peeled off!

On the other hand, the dancer opposite, although she took off three layers of ornaments, she had three more layers of aura that belonged to Byron on her body. She exuded a moist and watery glow from the inside out, just like a ripe and sweet fruit.

At the same time, Salome straightened her snow-white feet and took the fourth step towards Byron.

In a graceful spin, she untied her bra, and the purple dress and the last two tasseled brooches all fell off her body.

Suddenly the jade fragrance came out and the whole room was bright.

And there was no shyness in Salome's eyes about being naked in front of a strange man. Instead, her cheeks were flushed as if she had drunk fine wine, and the charm in her emerald eyes seemed to be dripping with water.

Another layer of Byron's divinity was stripped away, four out of seven layers. Even though his essence was far stronger than that of an ordinary fifth-tier legend or false god, his fifth-tier status began to crumble.

Fortunately, at this time, because Salome lifted the information blockade of the level zero relic, the [Ship's Log] finally successfully launched the Echoes of History.

In conjunction with the [Sunstone Calendar], we can see what kind of history the [Level 0 Holy Relic: Sevenfold Veil of the Venus Goddess Ishtar (Incomplete)] actually has.

He even saw the source of the magic [Dance of the Seven Veils] and couldn't help but open his mouth slightly:
"This kind of ancient myth, even a pervert would find it perverted, right?"

The root cause was an internal struggle among the two river gods:
[Goddess of Venus] Ishtar broke into the underworld ruled by her sister, the Queen of the Underworld, Elishkiga, in order to save her husband, and eventually died miserably there.

Even a goddess of the same pantheon must abide by the rules of other gods when entering their realms.

Just like passing through the River Styx ruled by Byron, one needs to deposit valuables with him, and when the mood strikes, one has to perform the honesty drama of the golden axe, the silver axe, and the iron axe.

When Ishtar passed through the first major gate of the underworld, Namuta, the gatekeeper of the underworld, stepped forward, opened the gate for her personally, and said respectfully:
"Come in, my mistress, the Kuta will cheer you, and the palace of the Land of No Return will rejoice at your presence."

But while welcoming her, he stripped off the brilliant golden crown on her head.

Ishtar exclaimed, "Gatekeeper, why have you removed the crown from my head?"

The gatekeeper replied: "Come in, my mistress, such are the rules of the Queen of the Underworld."

When he opened the second door for Ishtar, he took the ornament from her ear.

The goddess exclaimed again: "Gatekeeper, why did you take my pendant?"

The gatekeeper replied: "Come in, my mistress, such are the rules of the Queen of the Underworld."

When she passed through the third door, the gatekeeper took off the jewel necklace around her white neck.

When she passed through the fourth door, the gatekeeper took the sparkling brooch from her breasts.

When she passed through the fifth door, the gatekeeper took off the jade belt and long skirt tied around her hips.

When she passed through the sixth gate, the gatekeeper removed her bracelets and anklets.

When she passed through the final, seventh door, the gatekeeper stripped off and took away her last piece of underwear.

In this way, every time Ishtar passed through the gate of the underworld, the gatekeeper Namuta would take an ornament or piece of clothing from her.

And told her that this was in accordance with the rules of the underworld code, which was completely different from the code of the aboveworld that Ishtar controlled.

So, after passing through the last major gate, all the belongings on Inanna's body were stripped off, and she stood naked in front of her sister, Elysqiga, the Queen of the Underworld.

However, for a god, what was stripped off was not just her clothes and jewelry, but also her powerful divinity!
Every time she took off a layer of jewelry, a layer of divinity was stripped away. After the "seven layers of veil" were peeled off, Ishtar had completely fallen from a god to a mortal.

This rule is somewhat similar to the power of Styx to digest divinity and replenish itself, or many underworlds have more or less dabbled in similar powers.

At this point, Ishtar, the goddess of Venus who was powerful and had the power of war, not only failed to save her husband, but was also stared at by the seven judges of the underworld.

After becoming a mortal, he couldn't even withstand their gazes and died instantly, turning into a corpse.

Then her sister, the Queen of the Underworld, Elishkiga, hung her naked body on a hook and used it as a water bag.

Ishtar's experience warned the gods that the kingdom of God is the last and strongest fortress of a god. If one rashly breaks into it, even if one is stronger, one may be easily killed by the master of the kingdom of God.

The magical power that Salome obtained obviously came from the dark myth of the sisters fighting each other, one living and the other dying.

Hey!
The stunningly beautiful dancer took the fifth step towards Byron, the smile on her face becoming more charming, without any pleasure or ridicule in the face of an enemy.

The rule on stage is that once you start dancing you have to dance it through to the end.

The slender and soft hands touched the waist, and the golden bead necklace and tulle dance skirt hanging on the waist and hips also slipped off quietly.

Apart from the bracelets and anklets, the only thing on her body was a pair of tiny panties made of black pearls, which could not be any smaller.

Byron only had the last two layers of divinity left, and his rank and power level plummeted. At this point, any ordinary legend could kill him.

It is indeed “possible”.

Because even if all his divinity and power are lost, no one can take away his 3% spiritual realm of "all things return to oneness". Even if he is just a mortal, he is still a great swordsman with superb swordsmanship.

Mere skill is enough to cut through the waterfall of clouds in the sky.

The dancer in this virtual timeline is exactly the same as her real self in the main timeline of the outside world.

Another glorious victory was just around the corner, and I couldn't help but feel a little excited, and my dance became more joyful:

“I held my own ascension ceremony in the city-state of Galilee in the Holy Silver Empire, and used the Dance of the Seven Veils to exchange for the promise of ‘all requests can be met’ from King Herod.

I asked for the head of the Orthodox Archbishop John the Baptist, and then performed a dance of destruction at the highest point of the palace, causing chaos in the city and countless people killing each other.

Finally, he achieved the achievement of "overthrowing a city" and was successfully promoted.

If I hadn't been on guard against the Night's Watch and the Inquisition finding any clues and coming to find me, I would have already returned to the Netherlands and worked with my father to take down this maritime power known as the 'Coachman of the Sea'.

Kick the queen down and let me take this position, or even become the queen easily.

This time I came out to avoid disaster and followed the order of [The Clown] to help [The Man Who Must Not Be Named]. Unexpectedly, I received an unexpected surprise.

The King of the Wild Hunt, the Blessed One of the Holy Spirit, the Messiah, just thinking about it makes people tremble with excitement. "The ritual of the dancer's alluring dance can either positively overwhelm the whole city or overturn it.

Her ritual was to dance a song for the king of the city-state in the Holy Silver Empire, which triggered a conflict between the two major factions.

It directly led to the destruction of the city-state, and no one could escape alive.

The current Holy Silver Empire is already in chaos.

Others thought that everyone in the city had died in the war, or that they were killed by monsters or evil spirits, but they didn't know that under the cover of the [Level Zero Holy Relic: Sevenfold Veil], a dancer killed everyone in the city.

Are dancers just playthings of the rich and powerful?
When she reaches the legendary level, she will make all the once high and mighty nobles and kings submit to her dance skirt wholeheartedly and be proud to kiss her toes.

【King】Conquer the world, and they only need to conquer men!
Are we born into this world just to be a concubine or a lover?
She wanted all other sequence extraordinary people and mortals to look up to her.

Prove that dancer is the most powerful profession in the world.

This powerful magic also came from this.

Abridged version: Using the seven pieces of clothing accessories - head, ears, neck, breasts, buttocks, feet and underwear - as the medium, [Dance of the Seven Veils] is actually the ultimate striptease that can only be seen once in a lifetime.

The effect of this magic is naturally extremely powerful:
“Can strip away the divinity and power of others and put it perfectly on oneself or someone else.

He can also use the stolen divinity to control the opponent and turn him into his slave.

She could even rely on the powerful amplification of the zero-level holy relic, and if she encountered a demigod relic that had no resistance at all, she might be able to try to peel it off."

clang clang clang.
The bracelets and anklets fell to the ground. The dancer was only one step away from Byron and had only the last piece of clothing left on her body.

Looking at Byron's stiff expression, Salome reached out and touched his handsome face, feeling extremely happy:

“[He who must not be named] said that when he was searching the world, he discovered a collapsed kingdom of God in the Sea of ​​Essence.

There is also the corpse of an old god who, due to bad luck, was unable to gradually recover his sanity and strength through cannibalism and blood sacrifices over the past 1,500 years.

He suspected that the person buried there was Ishtar, the goddess of Venus.

This is my reward for helping me.

But I really don’t want to kill this [Wild Hunt King].”

The most important thing for Mercurius is not the mission of the Joker and the old gods, but to remove the constraints of the "divine side" in his body and fully recover.

The solution he came up with was to use Salome's [Dance of the Seven Veils] to help him peel off the divine side in his body, and then use the corpse of the demigod to perfectly inject himself with the divinity of a demigod.

Not only can it solve the troubles you have, but it may also allow you to go a step further and achieve the prerequisites for being promoted to a demigod.

Salome's ability is of great significance even to the Clown, and is the most important secret weapon in His hands.

If the "traitor" hadn't asked Him for help, He would never have been exposed so early.

But this ambitious dancer obviously has her own ideas.

At this time, Byron still wanted to continue watching the stripping, well, to see if the other party had any other conspiracy, but he was a little surprised why the dancer was hesitating and didn't continue stripping, and never took the last step.

Salome felt a little wet in her heart as she looked at the handsome and majestic pirate emperor of the North Sea Empire, whose figure was more perfect than a marble sculpture.

As if she had made up her mind, she hooked her slender jade fingers around her pearl panties, trying to take them off but not taking them off. She gently rubbed Byron's body and whispered in his ear:
“Everyone who has seen me dance the Dance of the Seven Veils is dead.

But, Your Majesty, the King of the Wild Hunt, you can be an exception.

Now you have two choices, one is death, the other is surrender to me."

When the hero rescues the beauty mission is settled, there are usually two situations:
"Option 1: The hero is not good-looking. I have no way to repay you. I can only work like a cow or a horse in the next life to repay your kindness."

"Option 2: The hero is handsome, and I have nothing to repay him with, so I can only repay his kindness with my body."

If you are handsome enough, even if you accidentally fall into the hands of the enemy, the treatment you receive may be completely different.

This world where appearance matters is so cold and cruel.

Of course, the prerequisite is that it must not fall into the hands of Louis XI.

The more handsome you are, the more miserable your ending will be.

It just so happened that Byron was not only handsome, but also very delicious as a symbol of "change", and he had two empires at his disposal, so conquering him would be far more profitable than killing him.

Anyone can tell the difference between being full at one meal and being full at every meal.

At the same time, the small island where the Yingge was stranded suddenly trembled, revealing two eyestalks, and slowly raised its giant claws as thick as a mountain ridge.

It is actually a giant sea monster [Giant Claw Ironclad Crab], and the rocks and trees on its back are just its crab shells.

The big crab was obviously in cahoots with the dancer, and the crew members on the ship who loved her to death were just necessary sacrifices for hunting Byron.

The two clowns who were trying to snatch "The Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven" also crawled out from under the big crab's belly and looked at Byron sinisterly.

Salome smiled and said the cruelest words in the most gentle tone:

"Your Majesty, I'll give you one last chance. Think about it carefully. Choose one or two. Hahahaha."

Byron finally saw through all the cards played by the "traitors".

A legendary dancer who is hard to guard against, a giant sea monster, a fifth-level and a fourth-level clown, and the last line of insurance, Mercurius himself.

It is indeed very powerful.

unfortunately
Byron looked up and smiled at Salome, revealing his eight white teeth:
"I choose three!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the scenery in front of him and Salome's beautiful face were stained with a layer of yellowness like an old photo, and then disappeared like a phantom.

Byron also returned to the moment when the [Sunstone Calendar] was activated.

Apart from the consumption of 23 points of historical influence, there were no other changes, and the divinity in his body seemed to have never left.

He had no time to feel sorry for the money he had saved with great difficulty, and was going to use it to activate the historical influence of the second [Book of Time], and the second round began.

But this time, it was like getting a walkthrough guide. No matter how strong the opponent was, there were no secrets in front of him.

The Golden Hind continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, and Byron silently counted "three, two, one" in his heart.

Just as the three boats formed an equilateral triangle again, Salome reached out to take off her veil.

Wow
The [Styx], which had been deployed by Byron at the bottom of the sea long ago, suddenly appeared at the bottom of the [Inuguês] and swallowed it together with the [Love Elf] Salome who was caught off guard.

As long as no spiritual being saw her dance, the seven-fold veil would not be effective.

If she still wanted to struggle to death, she could just compete with the water of the River Styx to see which one could strip away and dissolve the divinity more effectively.

When the giant crab could no longer sense its master's breath, it instantly became furious, and without waiting for the "human" on the opposite side to react, it suddenly stood up from the sea.

The dark rock armor seems to be as good as cast iron.

At the same time, Violet, who had received Byron’s signal, opened her palm and cast a magic spell that looked like a cubic brass block - [Mechanical Fortress].

Click, click, click
Amid the mechanical transmission sound of gears turning, the mechanical fortress grew in the wind, and trapezoidal steel slopes rose rapidly from six sides, forming an array of more than forty turrets in total.

"Alpha accesses the fire control system."

"A basic number of whale oil explosion bombs are ready."

"Calibration of breech-loading rifled guns, wind speed level."

Chi——!
Amid the gushing white steam, forty turrets slowly turned and aimed their guns at the huge crab in front of them that looked like a lump of iron. A fierce aura of destruction instantly spread.

Inside the mechanical fortress, there was a thrilling roar as machines, pistons, levers, and gears worked together.

Amid the interweaving of flames and steam, a mighty sound reverberated in everyone's skull, forming a solemn hymn:

"Holy! Many rivets and a huge turret!
Billions of stars, billions of turrets!
Multiple rivets make the turret stronger!
Billions of turrets, billions of glories."

This scene is no longer a false fantasy; it has become a reality after Byron and Violet's years of hard work.

Facing the giant crab, Violet smiled coldly:
“You’re as ridiculous as your bunker.

Fire now! "

boom! boom! boom! boom!
The next moment, the all-round supersaturation bombardment from the turret array covered the giant crab, as well as the two clowns that had just crawled out from under its belly and then crawled back in.

They didn't care when they went back:
"A mere solid bullet has no way of breaking the defense of the Giant Claw Ironclad Crab."

Boom——! ! !
But then a series of loud noises, terrible screams and hot fragments interrupted their sneers.

Because this time it is completely different from the previous solid bullets.

These shells exploded!
The mushroom cloud of flames rising into the sky illuminated the eyes of everyone at the scene.

Including Byron, everyone had the same idea:
“Swordsmanship and witchcraft are all Madam Niu’s. The one in front of me is my little sweetie.

Coach, I must learn this!"

The golden light of the legal network fell, and the breech-loading rifled cannon and whale oil shrapnel were instantly stained with a layer of brilliant gold.
