Pirate Kingship-Chapter 834 - 507: What? This Pig Didn’t Just Root Up One of My Daughter’s Cabbages?
The Blue Hole reappeared outside the Pirate City at the end of the "First Circulation Zone" in the Bahama Archipelago, and the pirate fleet emerged almost unscathed after the great battle.
The Golden Deer, which had not shown itself the entire time, carried Mother Heather and the aunts away, heading directly back to Yucatan Island.
The uncle, cousins, and uncles, who had long been transformed into undead creatures by the "Book of the Dead," would soon be sailing the Ghost Ships from the "Edge of the World" to reunite with them at the base camp.
Afterwards, they would decide whether to stay in the Sacred Golden Empire or to accompany them to the Southern Continent.
Though such a couple, one alive one dead, collectively playing "Undead Knights" seems hard to describe, for Byron it's not a big deal.
At worst, he could, in a few days, use the "First Embrace" to transform all the aunts into "Half-Night Demons."
Anyway, the Lancaster Family no longer had anyone who was genetically pure human, so it didn't matter for a few more.
As the fleet was about to dock, a group of burly, strong women came to Byron's side, pounding their chests with a single hand and thanking him in deep voices:
"Pirate King, thank you for your help.
We've all decided; we're going to join your pirate group and spend the rest of our lives fighting a life-and-death battle with the Orthodox Church.
After all, with our current situation, we can't return home anyway.
We...we...boo hoo hoo..."
As they spoke, this group of people was overwhelmed with grief, and tears began to fall.
"They" were the prisoners the pirates had casually rescued from the upper floors of the underground prison.
The truly heinous criminals were mostly held in the prisons of the Night Watch and the Tribunal, while the prisoners in the Malta Monastery, aside from a few local offenders known as the Fallen Ones.
Mostly had a bit of a political prisoner background, and a significant portion were transcendent captives from the defeated Star Moon Empire.
They were all forcibly transformed into women under the effects of the "Divine Domain."
And it was only a gender transformation, not responsible for beautification; each looked frighteningly ugly.
More tragic than "to practice this skill, you must first castrate yourself" was that the brother was gone, they were ugly, yet they hadn't become stronger.
The bitterness of it was beyond description.
Some had even experienced the punishment of "anyone you glare at gets pregnant," and each had a thick book of bloody and tearful stories.
Byron consoled them with a few words, promising that his subordinates, including the Leech Lady and the Homicidal Doctor, a group of Grand Wizards, would provide them with cosmetic services to make them more feminine, at least allowing them to face the world.
This was also one of the main businesses of the surgery sequence after the birth of the Surgeon, worth billions.
If a Zero-Level Sacred Relic with abilities similar to the "Holy Prepuce" could be found in the future, they would attempt to turn them back into men.
Perhaps the Blood Cup fragment held by Succubus Therese could potentially break this malicious transformation.
Of course, this depended on them not becoming addicted to... women's clothing after receiving top-notch cosmetic services.
Having dealt with the final loose ends, Byron felt a sense of expansion in his chest.
There were no longer any shackles binding him, no weaknesses to be exploited by enemies.
His Mind Realm, symbolizing free will, suddenly leapt forward, drawing closer to the threshold of the "Unity of All Things."
His spirituality increased from 17.5, rising to 17.8 with the help of his two Queens, making it likely to reach the critical point next year.
He casually connected with his ally, Succubus Therese, who monitored intelligence far away in the Kingdom of Hightins:
"Miss Therese, good day.
Please help me keep an eye on the Woodville Family of Queen Elizabeth, find a core direct-line member who is alone, and if you can frame it on The Kingmaker Warwick later, that would be even better.
You ask why find someone?
Haha, I have prepared an appetizer, hoping they can help the York family taste it first..." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Just as Byron was brimming with enthusiasm, ready to launch a proactive attack, the hairs on the back of his neck suddenly stood on end, as if a sharp knife had pierced his back.
Turning around, he saw Violet and her mother walking hand in hand out of his captain's cabin.
Even the two Calamity Witches had their vulnerable sides; the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for over a decade and had missed too many important moments. After a brief update on their current situations, their eyes were a bit red.
Vanessa already felt she owed her beloved daughter Violet too much, but before she could make it up to her, Violet had to become someone else's wife?
Moreover, having been in prison too long, Vanessa's understanding of the outside world was still stuck more than ten years ago, severely out of touch with society, making her examination of her son-in-law all the more rigorous.
Especially when she recalled the thought of establishing a Blood Oath with her daughter's self-selected "fiancé," it made her blood boil, veins throbbing on her temple.
The Bayfolk "Blood Oath Ritual" involved arranging two semicircular pieces of turf into a large arch, placing a spear in the center, and the unrelated Bayfolk oath-takers stepping into the arch, injuring themselves to let blood drip into mead.
Drinking the mead, they proclaimed an oath to the gods, and concluded by shaking hands, becoming oath-brothers as close as siblings.
They would mutually support each other like family, and must not harm one another. If one were harmed, the other must seek revenge.
