Thinking of this, Edward suddenly felt full of energy. He stepped forward and used his invisible hand to pull five more pirates over. They immediately struggled in fear and begged for mercy, but Edward did not arouse any sympathy.
Compared to what they did during their previous looting, dying in a daze after listening to a story was already a good thing for them.
Edward then waved his wand and tied up the remaining forty or so people - otherwise they would definitely choose to jump into the sea when he left.
Still on that island, Edward and the five pirates landed and got straight to the point: "Do you know that this world is about to face its doomsday... Yes, it's those Outer Gods who did it... What are Outer Gods? They are evil gods from outside the earth... For example, the Son of Chaos... The High-Dimensional Overlooker, the Mother Tree of Desire..."
Bang!
Two more pirates died on the spot, and of the remaining three pirates, one was twisted into a monster like a flesh worm, one's eyes became huge and almost burst the entire head, and another was turned into a tree of flesh and blood.
Sure enough, according to several experiments, these pollutions are often related to a certain Outer God, among which the probability of being affected by the Fallen Mother Goddess and the Mother Tree of Desire is the highest.
Edward was just about to wave his wand to deal with them when suddenly the three mutated pirates froze, and then disappeared from his sight as if they were erased by a piece of chalk.
"!!!"
Almost at the same time, Edward felt the spirit around him beating wildly. When he turned around, he saw a familiar face standing a few meters away:
A lady in a simple robe, a bark belt, and bare feet.
Servant of Secrets, Arianna.
Why is she here?
Isn't the sea Leodro's territory?
At this moment, she was no longer as calm as she had been in the previous meetings. Instead, she showed an inexplicable expression that seemed like surprise: "Sir Edward..."
Arianna got straight to the point: "You must know the knowledge of the Outer Gods, which is terribly contaminated, right?"
Edward nodded: "Yes, but... maybe I have the blessing of the gods, and the pollution of the outer gods cannot affect me.!1+3¨y?u?e*d*u_.`c+o¢m!" He paused, "And I have also cleaned up those polluted pirates, so there will be no hidden dangers left."
"But,"
She seemed to sigh, "You mention the Outer Gods too frequently, which will not only lead to their contamination, but may also attract their attention."
Edward was startled. "Don't tell me that they could use this method to affect the ground...here?"
Arianna shook her head. "I don't know, but my Lord wants you to stop."
"But I..."
She regained her usual calmness and said, "Of course, you can continue. Then He will release the secret from you, and the one who comes to see you will be the servant of the Lord of Storms."
Edward was speechless. You are a god after all. Why are you threatening a mere Sequence 5 like me?
"As you command, thank you goddess for keeping it secret for me."
Edward had no choice but to draw a holy light on his chest to show that he gave up.
"Well, take care."
Arianna was about to leave when she finished speaking, but Edward hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Ms. Arianna, can I take a few minutes from you?"
Then he skillfully transformed a small blackboard, desks and chairs into a classroom, and said with a smile: "May I have the honor to teach you some knowledge that you may or may not know?"
Arianna was silent for a moment, then sat down at the desk, "Please."
"The Land Forsaken by God, do you understand?"
"learn."
"Have you heard about the deeds of the ancient sun god?"
"Know."
"Then... the ancient sun god was backstabbed, and then the seven gods were born. Do you know what happened?"
Arianna gave him a long look. "I don't know... but I don't recommend you to say it. Look, Writer, the conclusion has been published!"
"…"
Hey, is this because the goddess is afraid that I will reveal her dark history?
OK!
"Then I'll give you a simple introduction to the basics of astronomy. You probably don't know about the Milky Way, the solar system, and the eight planets, right?"
"Please go ahead."
"Okay, actually, the land under our feet is a huge planet, just like the sun and moon in the sky. It was called the Earth in an earlier period before the First Age..."
Speaking of which, although the level of scientific development in the mysterious world is not very high, some people may know more about planets and the universe than modern people.
Because a planeswalker who takes the apprentice path can travel the universe and go to any planet, but on the one hand, only a few can be promoted to a planeswalker. On the other hand, there should have been no planeswalkers in the thousand years since Mr. Congmen was exiled.
In addition, the starry sky is occupied by alien gods and related knowledge has been polluted, so most people's understanding of the universe should be very limited.
After spending more than twenty minutes draining away the little astronomy knowledge Edward had, Arianna disappeared, but the potion was barely digested. Edward seriously suspected that Arianna already knew this knowledge, but chose to pretend not to know in order to avoid him "revealing bigger secrets."
Alas, I am not allowed to spread the knowledge of the Outer Gods, and I am not allowed to get any benefits. This is such a loss.
Let me think, is there any other way...
At this time, Lilith's voice came from the leather bag, "Edward, are you still not done? It's so slow this time?"
"Did you hear what Miss Lilith said? I can't hear anything now. I don't like this feeling."
"Edward~"
Edward quickly opened the leather bag, removed the ear-blocking spell on her, and then fished her out. "Sorry, someone was looking for me just now."
"Who is it?"
She blinked and looked around.
"Arianna, the lady in the black robe, do you remember her?"
Lilith nodded immediately, "I remember! Last time she asked you to predict what Miss Lilith would eat in the evening. What did she want from you?"
"She asked me to stop spreading the forbidden knowledge that Lilith couldn't hear."
"Why?"
"It's said to be too dangerous."
Edward took her hand and teleported back to the pirate ship again.
Looking at the pirates huddled together like pigs on the deck, Edward smiled and said, "I have good news to tell you. I have given up on teaching you those forbidden knowledge."
The pirates were immediately overjoyed and relieved.
He took out his wand, "But I have a new idea."
"Zoom in, forget everything!"
Chapter 394: The Intruder Admiral of Hell
The silver-white light submerged everyone like a wave, and he simply and roughly deleted all the pirates' memories of the past three days.
The moment the light faded, the pirates gradually woke up from their confused memories and found themselves tied up. They started yelling and cursing:
"Who?! Who dares to tie me up? Don't you know that I'm with Gehrman Sparrow?"
"My boss is Fire Fist Ace, let me go!"
"What happened? Who attacked us?"
"Fuck, someone help me."
A very few people seemed to have been turned into fools by the Forgotten Spell, standing there with a confused look on their faces and mumbling.
Edward gestured to the pale-faced red-haired man, "You'll have three minutes to calm them down. I need to teach them again."
"…I, I understand."
Of course he noticed that his subordinates had lost their memories - when he thought about losing his memory of the formulas, acting methods, and mystical knowledge like them, he felt that he might as well just die.
At this time, Edward raised his eyebrows and saw two or three black spots appearing on the sea in the distance: "Huh, a new batch of experience babies are finally here."
At the same time, the three pirate ships that received the red-haired man's signal gathered together, and then a red-haired man came out from each of the three pirate ships.
"You also received news from Eluzer?"
"That's right."
"That's what he said."
"He said he found an underwater ruin full of treasure nearby."
"Me too."
"Heh, but what I received was that he was attacked."
"Huh? Did they discover the underwater ruins first, and then were attacked?"
"Are you two stupid? If he really discovered underwater ruins, shouldn't he have stayed where he is during this period? But his ship never stopped."
"So, there's a problem?"
"What should we do then? Should we still go there?"
"Let's split into three directions and surround them. If we find any situation, we will open fire directly."
"OK!"
The three red-haired guys quickly reached a consensus, and at this moment the surrounding sea surface suddenly seemed to boil, emitting bursts of violent tremors.
Then, a ball of illusory light appeared in front. After more than ten seconds, the light exploded with a point as the center, spinning rapidly and collapsing inward, forming a slightly blurry double-leaf bronze door.
The surface of this bronze door is covered with various mysterious patterns, giving it an indescribable feeling of depth and death.
With a creaking sound, the door shook and cracked.
boom!
With a roar, a huge sailing ship that was mainly dark with a hint of dark green sailed out of the bronze gate and directly hit the one in the middle of the three pirate ships.
In just a moment, the wooden pirate ship was smashed into pieces.
The pirates on the ship had no time to react. They either fell into the sea along with the wreckage of the ship, or were directly smashed into a bloody mist by the huge sailboat - even one of the red-haired captains could not escape.
"It's... Admiral Hell's Black Tulip!"
