"…"
Tracy's expression was calm. "I'm not in a hurry. ?j_w¢x*s?.^o¢r*g^"
"Hmph, from now on, you should be a good pirate general on the sea and try to stay away from the witch sect. I feel that many uncontrollable and dangerous things will probably happen next."
"...I see."
At this moment, Catalina's figure suddenly faded and disappeared from the Black Death.
Tracy's expression suddenly became complicated: to be honest, she was full of resentment towards her mother who forced her to become a woman, but she had to admit that her mother did not have no feelings for her at all.
But... I still hope to become a man again.
...
The other side.
Christine strolled on the sea, moving forward calmly and confidently amid the surging waves.
She didn't know how long it had been, but a crack suddenly opened in front of her. Azik took Priscilla out of the spirit world. Medici appeared at the first moment and stared at her coldly: "Hand over the things."
"Mr. Medici."
Christine smiled faintly: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"Um?"
At this moment, a tall figure appeared behind Christine, with long black silky hair and blue eyes like starlight.
She was wearing clothes that were not suitable for this era. They were simple and elegant, and they modified her figure very well. The moment she saw Medici, her beautiful face showed a bright smile: "Long time no see, Medici."
"!!!"
Medici's emotions rarely fluctuated violently, and he murmured in a low voice: "You, you are not dead?!"
"Lilith!"
...
The next day.
As the sun slowly rises from the sea level, it heralds the beginning of a new week.
Lilith rushed out of the tent, running barefoot on the beach, occasionally leaning over to pick up one or two conches, crabs, etc. left on the beach after the tide went out.
When Edward walked out of the tent, the little guy had already picked up a big bag in his arms. He ran back with pride and said, "Edward, look how many things I picked up~"
"Then let's have seafood for breakfast."
"eat?"
The little guy was stunned, and quickly turned his body and said, "No, I want to keep them as pets!"
Edward narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Are you sure you don't want to eat it?"
"No!"
Twenty minutes later.
Lilith squatted in front of the fire on the grill, staring at the seafood on it and drooling, "Why is it not ready yet? Miss Lilith is hungry."
Edward took out some seasonings, made a simple dipping sauce, and placed it on the temporary small dining table. "It's ready to eat. Be careful of the heat."
"I'm not afraid."
She stretched out her little hand, on which was condensed a thin layer of ice crystals, which just blocked out the scorching heat, and then she began to eat the grilled crabs skillfully.
After the meal, Edward took Lilith and teleported directly to Bayam, and then went directly to the Fragrant Leaf Bar on the island.
Perhaps because it was early in the morning, there were only a few people in the bar, some of whom were lying or sprawled out and snoring. They must have drunk too much in the bar last night and had been sleeping until now.
Edward went in, looked at the empty bar, knocked and called out, "Are you guys there? Do you still want to do business?"
"Hello."
After a while, a young man in bartender's clothes came out rubbing his eyes, with sleepiness and confusion still on his face: "Ah? Who is it so early... coming to drink... yawn~~"
Then he yawned again.
Edward pointed at himself: "Do you know me?"
"???"
The bartender blinked, "Should I...know you?"
"The Dawn?"
"What?"
Edward shrugged. "Thank you. Sorry to bother you. Good morning."
"???"
Seeing them turn around and walk out, the bartender's temper immediately surged up, and he was furious: "You are fucking sick, waking me up so early in the morning and asking me if I know you! Are you a gold pound or a gold coin? What's the use of me knowing you? Don't let me catch you, I will definitely settle the score with you next time!"
Lilith listened to the bartender's scolding and turned around: "Edward, that man is scolding you, Miss Lilith will help you teach him a lesson!"
"Uh, no need. I was indeed wrong. If I were him, I would definitely be even angrier."
"oh."
Lilith asked curiously, "What are we going to do?"
"Looking for someone?"
"who?"
"The Dawn... belongs to Bernadette."
"Oh." She nodded, not quite understanding. "Why look for her people? Why not just use a messenger to find her in person?"
Edward smiled and said, "Don't bother her with such a small matter. Let's go to the next one."
Soon, the two of them arrived at another bar a few blocks away. Fortunately, the staff of this bar were awake and cleaning. Edward walked in as usual.
The bartender immediately said, "Sir, we haven't cleaned up yet. If you want to drink, you need to wait a little longer."
"Um..." Edward coughed, "Do you know me?"
"ah?"
"The Dawn?"
"ah?"
"...Thanks"
Before he could react, Edward took Lilith and left quickly.
Then came the third and the fourth... When it was almost half past 10, Edward walked out of another bar empty-handed and was about to continue asking.
A woman with wheat-colored skin who looked like a native of Rorsted came over, pushing a cart of fruit. When she approached Edward, she looked at him with a complicated expression and said helplessly, "Mr. Edward, do you really want everyone in Bayam to know that the Dawn has an informant here?"
Edward said, "I'm sorry."
Chapter 411 Playing the Witch
It's not that Edward deliberately caused trouble for the Dawn, nor that he didn't know the seriousness of the matter, but he did have something very important to tell the people from the Dawn.
"I need you to do me a favor."
The woman lowered her head and pushed the cart to the shade of a tree. "You can talk while you pick the fruits."
Edward followed and casually picked up a banana and handed it to Lilith. She peeled it and started eating it without hesitation. If she were a cat, she would not have much interest in fruit.
"How many people do you have on the Dawn in Bayam, or in the Rorsted Archipelago?"
The woman was startled. "What do you want to do?"
"Just help me spread some news."
Edward explained, "I need you to spread the word as soon as possible that the remains of ancient elves have been discovered on Changwei Island and Tiana Island. This news must appear as real as possible so that the church and the military will believe it and turn their attention to searching."
The woman frowned and thought for a moment, "This...is not a big deal."
She didn't ask Edward why he did this. For many things, the less you know, the safer you are.
In fact, Edward's plan was very simple. Now that the sea god Kalvetuwa was dead, he had cleared out the elven ruins where he had been hiding. However, Edward did not forget that there was another elven ruin, in which there was an extraordinary item that might be no worse than the sea god's scepter - "The Book of Disaster".
Regardless of whether this book itself possesses extraordinary abilities, as long as its content mentions any extraordinary abilities, you, who possess the [Bookfish], can "eat" it and gain the corresponding abilities - the only annoying thing is that you still have to learn the Elvish language.
He didn't know whether the Church of the Storm had realized this and launched a search, so he asked the people of the Dawn to help spread some false information, which might have a certain disruptive effect.
Edward took advantage of this opportunity and rushed to Simim Island, trying to use the things he got from the Kalvetuwa ruins to assist in divination and search - if he couldn't find it, there would be no loss, but if he did find it, it would be a big profit!
"Okay, how long do you think it will take for this news to take effect?"
The woman smiled confidently and said, "If it's just Bayam, then everyone will know about it tonight, and it will spread throughout the Rorsted Archipelago within two or three days. But if you want to be more aggressive, you have to send people to the islands you mentioned, which will take a little time."
"Thank you very much, do I need to pay you anything?"
"Need not."
The woman shook her head. "The Queen's orders are to meet all of your requests within my ability."
At this point, she resisted the urge to gossip: What is the relationship between this person and the queen? Even Cattleya, who used to be almost like the queen's daughter, didn't have such a big face.
Edward then casually picked up two uneaten fruits, thanked him and was about to leave, the woman hurriedly said: "Hey, sir, you haven't paid yet!"
"??? Didn't you just say…"
"One thing at a time."
The woman said confidently, "It was the Dawn and the Queen who spent money to help you spread the news, but I spent my money on these fruits!"
"…"
Edward took out a gold coin and handed it over.
The woman smiled happily: "Thank you, boss. I'll come again next time."
Holding Lilith's hand, the two walked away.
Lilith held the banana peel and looked up curiously at the yellow fruit in Edward's hand. The fruit peel was in small pieces, and at first glance it looked a bit like a devil fruit. "Edward, what is this?"
