"Haha, no problem, just give me the money. What's the content of the novel?"

"…"

Klein's expression straightened at this time, "By the way, the reason why I was anxious to find you through Mr. Fool was because I thought this matter was too coincidental!"

"What?"

"Isn't it? The name Gehrman Sparrow is just two words I randomly put together, and it happens to be the same name you used before. Isn't this a coincidence?"

Edward was silent for a few seconds: "You mean..."

"I'm worried that someone is arranging this again... After all, in the world of the book, the feather pen has appeared again. Although it is just a fake one, it must have some connection with the real one, right?" - That's why we need to come to the gray fog to communicate.

This... is a misunderstanding.

However, Klein's words reminded Edward that judging from the outcome of the incident outside Backlund, the new owner of the feather pen seemed to be hostile to the Loen royal family... or George III.

The good news is that in the short term, he and the owner of the quill can be considered "allies".

The bad news is that there is no information about this new owner - if the other party can use me once, he can use me a second time. Even if he is not targeting me, I don't want to be arranged by others again.

What on earth is Adam doing?

Won't He come out to take care of it?

Edward said, "That quill can only affect one city. Now that you are out to sea, you should not have to worry too much unless the new owner of the quill follows you all the way and has to make arrangements for you."

"And if he really follows you all the way, then the more you do, the more mistakes you will make. As long as he reveals a flaw, the rest will be easy."

Klein nodded. "Yeah, that's true."

Edward then turned to Mr. Fool and said respectfully, "If all else fails, we can also ask Mr. Fool for the protection of the angels."

Klein sighed: But my paper angel is just a showpiece.

But he still maintained the sophistication of Mr. Fool and said calmly, "Okay. I'll leave you with some tips."

They both bowed at the same time: "Thank you, Mr. Fool."

As Mr. Fool disconnected, Edward returned to the cabin of the pirate ship.

Lilith sat at the door with her wand, staring at the pirates outside with a vigilant look.

"Lilith, I'm back."

She turned around immediately and said, "Ms. Lilith was keeping a close eye on them just now."

"Great! Thank you for your hard work!"

"Yes!"

Edward touched the back of her mind. The little guy's hair was soft and smooth, like silk to the touch.

Lilith looked up, her blue eyes sparkling, "Edward, should we give them to..."

Her face was grim and she made a gesture of wiping her neck.

Edward was speechless: "...Where did you learn this move?"

Lilith thought for a moment and said casually:

"I forgot, maybe Susie taught me that." (Susie: You are the real dog!)

Chapter 391 Forbidden Knowledge

"Does Susie know she taught you this?"

She blinked her eyes and said, "Ms. Lilith, I don't understand what you are talking about~"

"Forget it. There won't be a new batch of 'students' for the time being anyway. Keeping them will allow us to try some new things."

As soon as Edward walked out of the captain's room, the pirates immediately looked at him with burning eyes.

"I need three volunteers."

Edward raised three fingers and said, "I will teach them some more secret and forbidden knowledge, which even the demigods may not know."

"But I would like to warn that there are certain dangers associated with this knowledge."

As soon as the words fell, the pirates immediately started to talk among themselves. Soon, more than a dozen people raised their hands one after another: "Me! Me! Me!"

Edward smiled kindly and said, "Very good. Fate will always reward and favor the brave. Then it will be you three."

He randomly pointed out the three pirates closest to him, and pulled them over with his invisible hands. Then he opened the Traveler's Door and traveled through the spirit world to a deserted island he had passed by before. ?I've got _Book.City. \Mian-Lung.Read~Du?

The ability to cross hundreds of nautical miles in an instant shocked and excited the three pirates. They fantasized that one day they would also have such magical and extraordinary abilities - then they could rob whatever they wanted, and go straight back after robbing and killing people. It would be so comfortable!

Edward said to Lilith seriously, "Lilith, you can't listen to what I'm going to say next, understand?"

Lilith nodded obediently: "Okay."

Although the little guy is rebellious occasionally, he still knows the importance of things that Edward has specifically and seriously instructed him to do.

Edward cast an ear-blocking spell on her and asked her to stay in the leather bag. Then he looked at the three pirates and said, "Okay, let's get started."

Three pirates sat in a row, looking serious.

"Do you know that in just over a decade, this world will come to an end?"

Edward's first sentence was explosive, "This doomsday is not an adjective, but the real end of the world. No matter if it is Loen, Feynaport, Fosat, the sea, or the southern continent... everyone will die."

The pirates were stunned. "Are you…are you kidding me?"

"Why did the apocalypse happen?"

Edward pointed at the second pirate, "Well, I like students like you who are eager to learn."

"The reason why the doomsday is happening is because the Outer Gods are about to invade." This time, without waiting for them to ask any more questions, Edward continued, "You must be wondering, what are the Outer Gods? Simply put, they are gods from Earth...that is, outside this world."

"Although they are not here to destroy humanity, their arrival will lead to the destruction of humanity. Look how weak and pitiful humans are in front of the truly powerful."

"Each Outer God possesses terrible pollution. When they come to Earth, they don't even need to do anything. Even the gods may not be able to bear the pollution. Ordinary people and Extraordinary Ones will either die on the spot or be polluted and turned into various monsters."

"And all this may happen in just a moment of invasion by the Outer Gods. In just a moment, everything in this world will be destroyed, just like the crimson moon in the sky now. It has long been occupied by the Outer Gods. It is no longer a moon but a terrifying Outer God. At that time, the planet under our feet may also suffer the same fate."

As Edward spoke, the three pirates' expressions became more and more distorted, and their eyeballs quickly became bloodshot - they were not frightened by Edward's description, but were eroded by some kind of force.

"So, what are the Outer Gods?"

Edward pointed out a finger each time he mentioned one. "Son of Chaos, Primal Hunger, Ring of Fate, Uncertain Mist, Super Star Overlord, Unextinguished Whisper, Decayed King, High-Dimensional Overlooker, Mother Tree of Desire... and the most powerful pillar-level existence, the Fallen Mother Goddess."

Bang.

The pirate in the middle exploded, turning into flesh and blood all over the sky, dousing the other two in red.

Fortunately, Edward was prepared and twisted the direction of the blood and flesh splattering in time.

Then the other two pirates also experienced strange changes. One of them had bloody vines and strips of paper quickly growing out of his mouth, eyes, nose and even pores, while the other one's stomach quickly swelled up like a balloon.

"ah!!!"

Sharp screams were heard, and the two were about to turn into twisted monsters.

"Lihuo."

Bright red flames covered the bodies of the two pirates.

However, facing two "ordinary people", this spiritually-infused fierce fire was unable to directly burn them to ashes. Instead, as the abnormality intensified, the fierce fire was suppressed.

Amplify, distort.

boom!

The next second, the fierce fire completely engulfed the two men, burning them to death bit by bit as they struggled violently, leaving not even a trace of ash.

Edward threw the gold coin and confirmed that there was no residual contamination power. Then he gently exhaled:

"Huh - is this the contamination of Outer God knowledge?"

Although the original book has always emphasized that knowledge is poisonous and polluted, it has never really shown what exactly is going on. Now Edward has seen it with his own eyes.

Almost at the same time when the three pirates underwent changes, Edward once again felt the digestion of the potion - judging from the amount digested by a single pirate, it was no less than the mystical knowledge he had spent several hours teaching before.

In other words, the pirates on that ship can still collect another wave of "experience", but...isn't this action too dangerous?

Who knows whether the pollution of the outer gods will directly create a demigod-level monster?

Edward opened the leather bag and released Lilith.

As soon as she came out, she looked around and asked, "Where are those three people?"

"Dead."

"Dead?"

She immediately showed some curiosity in her eyes, "How did he die?"

"They listened to the knowledge that they couldn't listen to, and were contaminated and mutated into horrible monsters, and then they were killed."

Edward pinched her pink cheek, "Lilith, do you want to hear it too?"

"No, no more!"

Lilith waved her hands repeatedly.

"Okay, time to go back."

He took Lilith's hand, took a step forward, and teleported back to the pirate ship.

The moment the figure appeared, the pirates who were talking immediately stopped talking and looked over - where were the three who were just taken away by this lord?

Edward was honest: "Unfortunately, those three just now couldn't survive the forbidden knowledge."

Wow——

The crowd was shocked, but most of them couldn't believe it: How could someone die from listening to a little knowledge?

"The mysterious world is like this. Danger and opportunity always go hand in hand. If you are lucky enough to have learned those forbidden knowledge, you will surely be very successful in the future. Otherwise, you will only regret it."

Most of the pirates were in confusion, and only a few extraordinary ones like Red Hair hid in the corner with their heads shrunk, not daring to breathe.

Edward said calmly, "Let's stop here for today. If anyone wants to try to see if they are the lucky one tomorrow, they can come to me."

"That guy... I'll just call you Red Hair."
