Chapter 399: Gehrman Sparrow, I'm not done with you!

The others also reacted at this time and pointed their guns at him.

Lilith clapped her hands lightly, and the guns in those people's hands immediately turned into ropes, which tied them up tightly in an instant. A few extraordinary people reacted quickly and threw away their guns, but their clothes also turned into ropes.

Alfred quickly retreated to the corner and used his [Whip] ability to break the ropes on the men closest to him.

Then his eyes quickly searched around for Hermann's location.

At this time, his black windbreaker also began to twist and change. He immediately pushed his hands away and said, "Transformation is prohibited here."

The windbreaker stopped changing immediately, and he pushed his hand again with a sullen face: "Imprison."

Layer after layer of transparent walls and extremely viscous transparent liquid flowed towards Lilith, but the moment they touched her, she turned into a ray of moonlight and disappeared.

Then it flashed several times in succession, releasing black bullet flames.

As Alfred moved, he used the Whip several times to extinguish the flame bullets. At this time, a frost spear had gathered in Lilith's hand.

Just as she was about to throw, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head and sat down on the ground with a cry of "Ouch". The half-condensed frost spear instantly turned into ice all over the ground.

However, Alfred did not chase after him. Instead, he stared at Edward who appeared out of nowhere next to Lilith, "German Sparrow!!!"

Edward helped Lilith up, feeling somewhat surprised. "Um... we meet again so soon. Aren't you from the navy? How did you end up on a deserted island? And how did you secretly drive my ship away in this way?"

Alfred said coldly, "I have no intention of becoming your enemy. I just want to rush to Bayam as soon as possible to prevent a disaster in the Rorsted Archipelago."

Edward took out the feathered serpent pendant and asked, "Is it related to the Spiritual Cult?"

"That's right."

Alfred said quickly: "The Spiritual Cult intends to hold a terrible sacrificial ceremony on an island near Bayam."

"so what?"

"You send me back to a nearby island, and I will apply to Admiral Amyrius to revoke your arrest warrant.

Edward was slightly surprised: "Why would you let an admiral listen to your advice?"

Alfred said seriously, "It's not that I have any 'reason', but as long as we stop the Spirit Cult's ritual, it will be enough to make Admiral Amyrius change his mind."

After a pause, he said, "I won't talk about the number of deaths that will be caused if the ritual succeeds. The Loen military's forces in the Rorsted Archipelago will suffer a severe blow."

Edward was surprised, "What on earth is the Spiritual Cult going to do?"

"…"

Alfred hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you know the Poseidon Cult in the Rhoside Archipelago?"

"certainly."

"The Poseidon Cult reached a cooperation agreement with the Spirit Cult not long ago. The Poseidon Cult organized its followers, and the Spirit Cult hosted the sacrifice. The Poseidon Cult thought that this sacrifice was to help them deal with the navy and church of the Rorsted Islands, but in fact, the Spirit Cult seemed to be targeting the evil god that the Poseidon Cult believed in."

Edward asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by planning to attack that evil god?"

"In the entire Rhoside Archipelago, nearly 90% of the natives believe in the Sea God, and the Spiritual Cult seems to be planning to replace the Sea God through some method, so as to seize the faith of the natives."

oh.

Understood.

After the death of the previous Grim Reaper, the royal family of the Balam Empire and the high-ranking members of the Spiritual Cult were inspired by the fact that the 'Hidden Sage' suddenly came back to life and gained a personality, and hoped to use the same method to "resurrect" the Grim Reaper.

That is the so-called artificial god of death.

The birth of an artificial god of death requires not only the power of the god of death, but also the faith of believers. In the original novel, the plan of the Spirit Cult was actually successful, but it was eventually reaped by the Goddess of Night.

So now the Spirit Cult is using the Poseidon Cult to seize the faith of the indigenous people of the Rorsted Islands in an effort to speed up the creation of the artificial Grim Reaper, right?

But...why?

What made the Spiritual Cult suddenly take this risky decision? Has the wind stirred by me, a butterfly, already reached the southern continent?

Edward asked again: "Where did you hear this? This should be very, very secret information, right?"

Alfred said, "Originally, this matter had nothing to do with me. I was returning to Loen from the southern continent by airship this time. In order to visit a few comrades I hadn't seen for many years, I made a short stop at a naval base near Cecil Harbor... and then there was the failed operation last time. ￠精\武￠晓,税+王\ ·耕\辛^嶵?哙-"

When he mentioned the word "failure", he couldn't help but emphasize his tone. "After the operation was completed, I returned to Loen as planned."

"But yesterday the airship was suddenly attacked and fell from the sky. Then a demigod from the Spiritual Cult appeared and tried to attack us. Then people from the Storm Church arrived and forced the demigod to give up and let us crash into the deserted island."

Edward was surprised: "The people from the Storm Church...didn't see you?"

"No, that saint doesn't care whether we live or die."

"...All right."

Alfred continued, "It was not until we landed on the island that we figured out why the demigod of the Spiritual Cult attacked us. It was because someone appeared in the airship at some point."

"He was dressed like a member of the Spiritual Cult, but he claimed to be an undercover agent of the Loen military. He was discovered while transmitting information to the outside world. He was then hunted down by the Spiritual Cult, and hid on our airship with the help of a seal."

"But this action did not help us escape the pursuit of the demigod. Instead, it implicated us."

Alfred looked unhappy when he said this.

Edward said, "So everything you just told me was heard from that undercover agent?"

"Yes."

Alfred said in a serious tone, "German Sparrow, you only need to send me to a nearby island with a telegraph office to remove the bounty. You don't have to do anything else, and you don't have to take any risks. This is a sure win for you."

Edward clenched his chin in thought.

Of course, he was not thinking about the bounty, as he did not care about such things - but he had some sudden ideas after learning about the plan of the Spiritual Cult.

Edward had no idea how the Spirit Cult replaced Poseidon.

But in the original novel, Klein actually replaced Poseidon - the method was very simple, just wait for the sea serpent to die and take away Poseidon's scepter.

By using the Scepter of Poseidon, you can convey messages to Poseidon's believers - what will be the effect if these messages are replaced with various knowledge?

Hey! Isn't this the online class from the previous life?

With the huge population of the indigenous people of the Rorsted Islands, it should be easy to digest the last one-third of the potion, right?

But then again, in the original book, the death of "Sea God" Kalvetuwa was because the people of the Moss Ascetic Order found the elven ruins and took away the "Book of Calamities", which directly made Kalvetuwa unable to maintain stability. After being seriously injured by the Sea King of the Church of Storms, he completely collapsed and died in madness, and turned into the Scepter of Sea God.

But at this time, no one knew where the people of the Moss Ascetic Order were, and Edward didn't know the location of the elf ruins...

Thinking of this, Edward smiled warmly at the man in the black windbreaker: "I agree."

Alfred was stunned.

"But I'm not sending you there. I'm giving you this ship, along with all the pirates on it. Most of them were the targets you wanted to hunt last time, so it can be considered as 'returning the property to its original owner'."

"???"

"In return, I need you to tell me the location where the Spirit Cult and the Sea God Cult hold their sacrificial ceremonies." Edward said with a smile, "You are so anxious to go to Bayam, you must know this information, right?"

"…"

Alfred frowned, "What do you want to do?"

"That's none of your concern."

After a period of silence, Alfred said, "Tiana Island."

Tiana Island?

Edward raised his eyebrows. Isn't Danitz right there?

Oh, so the evil aura that Phoenix was talking about actually refers to the work of the Spirit Cult - are they planning to directly summon an artificial god of death?

Edward's heart moved. Is this the reason why the goddess or the Russian priest was so anxious to arrange for me to get the ring of death from Admiral Ludwell of Hell?

"Well, from now on, this ship is yours."

As he spoke, he waved his wand, clearing the pirates' memories of the past few days, then opened the Traveler's Door with a wave of his hand and waved to Alfred: "See you someday."

Alfred was startled, "Are you a traveler?"

He suddenly realized, "Wait, you can just send me..."

Before he could finish, Edward and Lilith disappeared.

Alfred was furious and grabbed a stool and threw it at him: "German Sparrow, you damned bastard!!! Bastard!"

At this time, the pirates whose memories had been erased, after experiencing a state of confusion, began to clamor and start fighting.

Alfred rushed forward with a cold face, and ruthlessly killed several of the leaders. He then worked with his men to quickly subdue the remaining pirates, throwing half of them directly into the sea, leaving only a dozen or so to serve as coolies.

"Colonel, what do we do next?"

Alfred said coldly: "Where is the nearest island to us?"

"Bansi."

"Bansi? I remember there seemed to be a telegraph office up there, right?"

Alfred made a prompt decision, "Go to Bansi first!"

"yes!!"

He looked out at the sea illuminated by the crimson moonlight, his eyes flashing with anger: "German Sparrow, I'm not done with you!"

Chapter 400: Battle with Sea King Courtman

Edward brought Lilith back to the deserted island. Red Hair and other pirates stayed on the beach obediently, sitting by the campfire and waiting.

The reason why the man in the black windbreaker was not sent back to the nearby island was not because Edward had any ill intentions, but sending him there and sending the telegram meant that the military had also learned about what happened on Tiana Island.

He didn't know what the situation was on Tiana Island. What if the navy directly mobilized a large number of warships, and together with the demigod governor, they attacked Tiana Island and flattened it quickly? He would not be able to fish in troubled waters.

As soon as they saw Edward, they stood up quickly: "Mr. Sparrow."

"Um."

Edward nodded. "Do you know what your Poseidon people are planning to do on Tiana Island?"

Redhead shook his head: "I don't know."

Edward took out various items needed for the prayer ceremony and threw them on the ground:
