Klein walked over and patted him on the shoulder. He said with a gossipy look on his face, "Edward, the relationship between you and this mysterious queen is indeed not simple! I was wondering why she risked her life to go to the God-Forsaken Land with you last time!"

Edward stroked his forehead: My relationship with Bernadette is not simple, but... maybe it is very different from what you imagined.

"You think too much. I'm not even an adult yet. The mysterious queen is already over a hundred years old. According to my age, I'm not even qualified to be her grandson. What do you think she has to do with me?" Edward pouted and said, "In fact, there is some kind of mystical transaction between her and me. In short... she needs something from me."

Klein was skeptical: "Does Miss Justice know this?"

He grinned, "Edward, you don't want Miss Audrey to know about your relationship with the mysterious queen."

"???"

Edward: Dear Japanese netizen, please calm down for a moment!

After returning to the cabin, the eyes of the passing crew members looking at Edward changed. Some were curious, some were confused, some were surprised, and most of them were of course afraid.

This feeling made Edward feel uncomfortable, so he simply said hello to Klein and went to the pirate ship.

After untying the ropes tied to these pirates, most of them immediately chose to resist, but unfortunately they were tied up again by the chains that deformed their clothes in the blink of an eye.

After rewarding a few of the pirates with some heart-piercing punishment, the others gradually calmed down amid their painful wails.

Edward stood on a high place, looking down at the pirates kneeling on the ground: "From now on, I will teach you some precious and secret extraordinary knowledge. Those who know this knowledge will naturally know how valuable it is, and those who have never heard of it will understand it in time."

"I need you all to listen carefully. If you don't understand something, you can ask questions at any time. Don't pretend to understand if you don't. Got it?"

As soon as the voice fell, the pirates looked at each other, not knowing what this powerful man wanted to do, but in order to save their lives, they could only respond in unison: "Got it. +咸*鱼?看.书/ -Hmm? Wrong' content,"

He put Lilith, who had turned back into a black cat, on his shoulder again: "This is Miss Lilith, my teaching assistant, a real witch."

Lilith raised her chin: "Right!"

The pirates exclaimed: "It spoke, the cat spoke!"

"Then let's start with the 22 potion paths..."

Edward conjured up a huge blackboard, took on his previous professorial attitude, and began to teach the pirates seriously.

First there are 22 potion paths, then various potion recipes, and then role-playing.

Some pirates who had never been exposed to the Beyonder world were confused at first, but later they suddenly understood. And some pirates who had heard about the Beyonder were getting more and more excited - according to the news they heard, if they sold this potion knowledge, it would be enough for them to become wealthy!

"After talking about the magic potion, let's talk about the legendary God-forsaken Land. First of all, let's talk about the reason why the God-forsaken Land came into being. This involves the ancient sun god..."

Just as he said this, Edward suddenly felt a chill on his back, and had the illusion that if he continued, something terrible would happen, so he decisively dropped the topic and started introducing Moon City and Silver City instead.

When the orange-red sun gradually set in the west, Edward finished telling all the knowledge that could and could not be told.

All the pirates present felt as if they had experienced a baptism of their worldviews, and had the illusion that "I need to grow a brain".

At this moment, Edward also clearly felt that the potion was showing signs of being digested. Although the progress was not much, as long as he persisted, he could accumulate little by little and achieve a qualitative change!

Edward looked at all the pirates with satisfaction: "I am very happy that you all listened to my lecture so seriously. I am also very happy that you all listened to everything I said."

"Once I have completely digested the potion this time, I will never forget everyone's contribution to me."

One of the pirates raised his hand and said, "Teacher, are you a Beyonder of the Reader's Path? That's why you need to teach everyone how to act and digest."

Edward gave a thumbs up. "Smart! You can apply what you have learned so quickly and even draw inferences from one example. I declare that you will be my study class representative from now on."

The pirate was immediately elated: "Thank you, teacher. Thank you, teacher."

"Then as the class representative, I need you to take the lead in doing something."

"Lilith."

Lilith jumped out of Edward's arms, and as Edward lifted the transfiguration, she turned into a little girl again. Even though they had listened to extraordinary knowledge for several hours in a row, this scene of sudden transformation still made them open their eyes wide.

Lilith then threw a piece of wood and flicked her wand as it landed, transforming it into a dagger.

Edward continued, "I need you to use this dagger to cut a hole in your neck. Don't worry, it's just a shallow cut. Just enough to bleed a little."

Chapter 383 Kidnapping at midnight

Another pirate couldn't wait to ask, "You want to collect our blood and perform some rituals and curses on us, right? So that we will obey your orders in the future and not betray you."

"Well, you are the deputy study class representative now."

Lilith threw another dagger, "Come on, everyone."

The two "class representatives" looked at each other, cut a shallow cut on their necks without hesitation, and then squeezed out the blood.

"Okay, the two class representatives have finished their presentations, it's your turn."

Lilith kept waving her wand, transforming a dagger in front of each pirate, then she pinched her waist and said, "Let me ask you, who is Miss Lilith?"

The pirates said in unison, "It's Mr. Edward's assistant!"

"What else?"

"She's a real witch!"

"very good!"

Lilith nodded in satisfaction, "Let's get started."

The pirates looked at each other, hesitating.

However, as a few people took the lead, the others stopped hesitating and cut their skin one after another - even if they were controlled by extraordinary power, it was better than death.

After making sure that every pirate had cut himself, Edward nodded and said seriously: "I will always remember you."

The next second, Edward's eyes flashed: enlarged + distorted.

The power of Sequence 3 instantly covered everyone, twisting the shallow wounds on their necks into fatal injuries.

All of a sudden, all the pirates fell down in rows like rice stalks blown by the wind and quickly died.

Bernadette's first mate said when she sent these pirates here that they were all extremely evil guys, and Edward had no pressure in killing them.

Edward stood up, turned the pirates' bodies into stone, and sank them to the bottom of the sea.

"Okay, time to go back and eat and rest."

"Ms. Lilith can eat a whole cow now!"

"Okay, I'll watch you eat for a while."

Lilith: "0-0!"

...

After dinner, Edward chatted with Klein for a while and then returned to his room to rest.

I don't know how much time had passed.

Edward suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw the wooden ceiling covered with a crimson moon veil.

His spiritual intuition told him that something was going on out there.

He took out his pocket watch and checked the time. It was 3:26 in the morning. The only people who were still awake on the White Agate at this time were probably the sailors and crew members responsible for the night voyage.

But the noise seemed to come from outside the ship.

After thinking for a while, he took out the invisibility cloak and put it on.

Just as he was about to Apparate and leave, Lilith, who was sleeping soundly, opened her eyes and said, "Edward, where are you going?"

"There seems to be something going on outside. I'll go check it out."

"I want to go too!"

"But it's inconvenient to take you with me."

Lilith immediately tilted her head and said, "You can turn me back into a cat."

"…"

Well, I'm not adaptable enough.

As soon as she turned back into a black kitten, Lilith became much more excited. She first ran back and forth on the bed for a few times, then jumped into Edward's arms and raised a little paw: "Let's go!"

"Let's go~"

Edward repeated it in her tone, then Apparated to the highest point of the White Onyx and looked down at his surroundings.

Soon he spotted a small ship in the shadow of one side of the hull.

Pirates again?

Edward was delighted and jumped down immediately, using the air resistance to glide silently onto the small boat.

At this moment, the small boat and the White Agate were connected by a simple wooden bridge. Under the command of one of the men, one figure after another was carrying out some... quilts?

No, there is someone rolled up in the quilt!

Looking more closely, the leader was actually Aldridge!

Didn't this guy claim to be a bodyguard from a security company? He was sneaking around in the middle of the night and he didn't look like a bodyguard.

Edward quietly followed two of them into the cabin and found that this was also a passenger ship, but it was much smaller in size. Those people wrapped in quilts were placed in different rooms.

He walked into a room at random, lifted the quilt and found a woman inside - probably one of those noble ladies.

Then he went to another room, and there were twelve women in total.

Is this kidnapping or human trafficking?

With doubts, Edward left the cabin again.

At this time, Aldridge began to command everyone to dismantle the wooden bridge connecting the White Onyx. With the help of the crimson moonlight, Edward saw that the person standing on the White Onyx was the "Fair Ireland".

Oh my god, I didn't want to hit you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing secretly?

But in the original book, the captain seems to be a pretty decent person, right?

Ai Erlan waved his hand gently, and the small passenger boat gradually moved away from the White Agate.

As the crew members entered the cabin one after another, Aldridge stood on the deck and did not move, as if he was confirming something.

After two or three minutes, he seemed to be relieved and turned to walk towards the cabin.

Edward suddenly had an idea and changed the direction of the ship, making it rush towards the White Agate in the opposite direction.

The sudden reversal made Aldridge's body shake, and then his face darkened. He took out a revolver and walked back quickly. Then several other crew members who had just entered the cabin ran out and shouted towards the cabin: "Aix, what are you doing?"
