At this time, Edward drank the milk in one gulp, and suddenly thought of something. He frowned and looked at Dubois seriously and said:

"Dubois, I have something I must emphasize to you!"

Dubois stood up straight quickly. "You say. \j*i?a,n`g\l?i¨y`i*b¨a\.·c`o¨m￠"

"I really, really, really don't like men!!!"

"???"

...

Olawei Island.

A hundred years ago, Oravi was still in the early stages of development, and the Kingdom of Loen only used it as a place of exile for criminals. It was not until Emperor Roselle later opened up a route to the southern continent that this place became bustling and prosperous due to its excellent geographical location.

However, the Church of Storms' St. Draco Cathedral was built early on, but its scale was much smaller than that of the future. The bold red, blue and yellow bell tower could be seen from a distance.

Edward came here to return the dice of destiny. Last night (three weeks ago), before taking the potion, he had specifically let this animated dice roll 5 points. Although he was successfully promoted to Sequence 3, his humanity had problems.

He couldn't tell whether this result was the result of good luck or the "punishment" for overdrawing luck as the little snake said. But no matter what, Edward still felt it was best to stay away from this unclear thing and send it away as soon as possible.

Since the little snake did not specify who he was looking for in Oravi, all Edward could think of was the place where he would come in the future to "ask for" the dice - but at that time, the Councillor of Fate was hiding under the bridge not far from the lighthouse because he was injured. It was impossible for him to stay there during this period of time?

"Huh? Where is this, Mr. Sparrow?"

Bernadette looked around curiously, then ran up the hill in small steps, shielding her eyes from the glaring sunlight with her hands and gazing at the vast blue sea in the distance: "Wow! It's so beautiful."

Edward followed and said, "Yeah, it's pretty."

"I thought you would take me to find the mermaid, or to see my father. \x~i+an,yu-k`s~.?c`o_m?" the little girl said, "Why do you want to come here?"

"Let me do something first, then I'll take you to find the mermaid."

Edward waved at her and walked forward: "And this time we don't have to look for the mermaid aimlessly. I can take you there directly."

"Oh, really?"

Bernadette was surprised at first, but then felt a little disappointed: If this were the case, then she would never be able to take the fairytale pirate ship on an adventure again.

About four or five meters away from the lighthouse, the brown wooden door creaked open, and a slender woman with strange steps walked out.

She was about twenty years old, and at first glance she looked pretty good, a standard beauty. But a closer look revealed that her facial features and body were very inconsistent - she looked very much like the tower keeper in the future.

"Could she also be a 'product' taught by the Mother Earth Goddess to make human bodies?"

It's strange, why does the Church of Mother Earth keep creating these weird "artificial humans" and send them here to guard the tower?

"ah!"

Bernadette also quickly noticed the incongruity of the woman and quickly shrank behind Edward, whispering, "She... looks so weird."

The woman was obviously used to it, and she had no doubts that the visitors were two children. She just said gently, "Excuse me, are you here to deliver something?"

"That's right."

Edward took out the jewelry box containing the dice of fate, "You have also joined the Council of Life?"

"Yes, sir."

She looked puzzled, "Have you ever seen other 'people' like me join the Council of Life before?"

"Uh, no."

Edward didn't say much, but shook the jewelry box. "You should know what this thing is, right? Can you handle it?"

"Yes, sir."

"OK."

He gently threw the box over and asked casually, "You should be from the Church of Mother Earth, right?"

"Yes, sir. + Tian? Xi? Xiao? said * wronged\ · pursued· crime / Xin? Zhang? Festival ′"

"So why did you join the Council of Life now?"

The woman smiled while flexing her asymmetrical muscles. "Because I'm a failure, I was taken in by the Council of Life."

"Isn't human body transformation what the Church of Mother Earth is good at? Why did it fail?"

She shook her head. "I don't know about that. I'm just an abandoned failure. I'm not qualified to know this."

"Okay, thank you."

The woman bowed slightly. "May good luck be with you."

With that, she turned and headed back to the lighthouse.

The mysterious words in Edward's eyes flashed, completing the "deconstruction" of this woman: she was indeed an ordinary "alchemical product" and there was nothing special about her.

But this was even more strange. Would the Earth Mother Church research such a "failed product" for fun? However, this matter didn't seem to have anything to do with me, so there was no need to get to the bottom of it.

"Okay, let's go find the mermaid next."

"Okay~"

...

The remains of the war of gods.

The Black Tulip, a fairytale ship transformed from it, is sailing in the blue sea. Bernadette, dressed as a pirate, is fighting against evil with Snow White and the queen.

The guy is addicted to food and keeps chattering.

"Hahahahahaha, I have a king bomb and four twos in my hand, who can beat me?"

The little girl got a rare good hand of cards and shouted proudly.

"airplane."

The queen threw out a hand full of cards.

"…"

The smug smile on Bernadette's face instantly froze and she screamed.

Edward leaned aside with his arms folded, rolling his eyes at Bernadette's behavior of taking off her pants and farting when she could go directly to the mermaid but insisted on taking a boat to find it slowly.

So he secretly used roaming and [False Reality] to make the entire ship do a "space jump" every once in a while. It was estimated that it would take another twenty minutes to reach the sea area where the mermaids lived.

He was certainly more interested in finding Roselle than seeing the mermaid, and he didn't know if he had ever been to the pristine island, quietly eroded and marked by the power of the fallen mother goddess.

"Tsk, I didn't feel anything before, but now I think about it, it's really annoying. After traveling through time, why am I still so frustrated that I dare not change some 'tragedies'?"

"It's really unpleasant to be hesitant and restrained in doing things!"

Do it when you think of it - this is my way of ninja!

As for the consequences—we'll talk about it later. If the sky falls, we'll have Wu Dalang to hold it up!

Just thinking of this, Edward slapped his forehead suddenly: You've watched Boruto too much, and you're being childish again.

Bernadette gritted her teeth and threw the few cards she had into the deck, shouting, "This one doesn't count!"

She raised her head, straightened her chest, took a deep breath, and decided to win next time!

"Huh?"

She suddenly stood up and pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted, "Mr. Sparrow, is that ship coming towards us?"

She and Edward had been here several times. It was not the first time she had seen other ships, but it was the first time she had seen a ship coming towards them.

Edward raised his eyebrows. It was a pirate ship that was coming. The pirates on the ship were holding weapons and looked ferocious. The gunners turned their cannons towards the Fairy Tale. It was obvious that they were not here to say hello.

The previous few times he came, he used space hiding to conceal the traces of the Fairy Tale, so naturally no one would find him. This time he was just lazy and didn't expect to be targeted immediately.

"Yo!"

Edward suddenly became interested, walked over to Bernadette and said with a smile: "Beibei, let's play a game of fighting pirates today!"

Bernadette's eyes lit up, and she waved her hands arrogantly and shouted, "Everyone listen up, attack with all your forces! Crush them!"

...

Deep in the foggy sea, the Black Throne.

"On April 21, I saw the abyss."

Russell wrote these words in his diary, and looked through the glass of the captain's room at the dark ocean in the distance and the mountain that was emitting black air like a monster - there was an atmosphere of disaster, danger and misfortune all the time.

His intuition told him that this voyage should end here.

But an uncontrollable desire surged in his heart: he wanted to go deeper into it and find out what was inside. He wanted to know what was in the abyss, and he wanted to know if he could reach the legendary Western Continent by crossing the abyss.

He didn't know whether this "desire" was simply a desire for knowledge, or a "desire for death" under the influence of the power of the abyss. However, as a Sequence 6, even with many extraordinary items given by the Archbishop, he was still unable to resist the power from the abyss.

Russell's thoughts were very clear at this time. He knew clearly that he would give the order to continue the exploration, and he also knew clearly that this was a stupid decision, but he just couldn't control himself.

So he made a decisive decision: Evil God, save me!

He drew the curtains, clasped his hands together, and said in a tone more devout than ever before:

"The eternal ruler of the dimension,

"The Deconstructor of the Endless Story,

"Transcendent of the past and the future.

Dear President...I seem to have been attacked by some terrible force...I am making a particularly irrational decision, and I sincerely ask you to lend me a hand..."

Chapter 578 Bernadette and the Mermaid

The Black Tulip (Fairy Tale) is the future vehicle of the Admiral of Hell. As the strongest among the seven pirate generals, the firepower on board is naturally far superior to that of ordinary pirate ships.

With Bernadette's chaotic command and the concerted efforts of the fairy tale characters, the attacking pirate ship was soon shot into a sieve, and Edward was responsible for blocking the shells fired from the opposite side.

At this point, the pirates didn't realize they had run into a tough opponent, and they hastily hoisted the white flag in surrender without the captain's orders. The surviving pirates dropped their weapons, raised their hands and stood in a group.

"Yeah! We win!"

Bernadette jumped excitedly, looking through the telescope at the pirates who were holding up their hands and white flags, and said with a smug smile: "Hehe, I am the invincible Captain Bernadette!"

"What should we do next, Mr. Sparrow? Should we board their pirate ship and accept their surrender?"

"You still know how to accept surrender?"

She nodded repeatedly and said, "After my father went to sea, I read some relevant books. Of course I know. Tian'xi~Xiao*Tax?Net` ?Pursue?Crime`Xin!Zhang?踕! I also know that many pirates can be exchanged for bounties!"

"Forget about the bounty. I'll go over there and take back all the valuables on their ship, and then we can divide the loot!"

"Share the spoils? How come we are the bad guys?"

"It's all the same anyway."

After Edward cast the Armor Spell and Space Concealment on Bernadette, he appeared on the opposite pirate ship in a leap. He controlled several pirates with the Imperius Spell, forcing them to take out two large wooden boxes and take them away, and then returned to the Fairy Tale.

"Wow! So many good things!"

Looking at the two boxes of jewels in front of her, Bernadette pounced on them and tried to grab them with both hands like a little money-grubber: although she had no idea about the value of these things, the feeling of "earning money with her own hands" made her very happy.

No wonder so many people become pirates!

There is no faster way to make money than to rob money.

"The box on the left is yours, and the box on the right is mine, is that okay?"

"No."

Bernadette threw the jewelry in her hand back into the box, then clapped her hands and said, "But it's useless for me to have this money. Give it all to Mr. Sparrow."

"You said it, don't regret it."

Edward immediately threw both boxes of jewellery into his space pocket. After a preliminary estimate, he estimated that these things would be worth at least three to five thousand Fel gold.

"Okay, let's get going!"

Edward waved his hand and the Fairy Tale set sail again.

Bernadette leaned on the railing and pointed at the pirate ship in the distance and asked, "Hey? Are we just going to ignore those pirates?"

"Don't worry about it. I'm a very generous person. Anyone who provokes me...no one will be able to escape."

"???"

As the Fairytale gradually went away, the pirates on the pirate ship breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat fortunate to have survived a disaster. Just as everyone was ready to sail away, a huge black crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the pirate ship, and then a small area centered on the crack suddenly cracked like glass.

The next second, with a "swish" sound, the space was torn apart.

In just a moment, both the pirate ship and the pirates were torn into pieces and scattered all over the sea.

On the Fairy Tale, Edward nodded thoughtfully. The power of space tearing was quite good, but the speed of its activation was slightly delayed. If one wanted to cause effective damage, it would be best to control the target's actions first.

After a few minutes, only a layer of crimson remained on the sea surface, which then spread and faded around the sea surface.

A figure suddenly appeared in an ancient ruin nearby.

The figure was wearing a simple linen robe with traces of patches, and a belt made of twisted tree bark was tied around his waist. His long black hair was draped down wantonly, and his feet were barefoot and covered with dust and scars.

It was Arianna, the hidden servant of the Church of Evernight.

He frowned and looked at the place where the space was torn just now. He drew a holy light of night on his chest, and then clasped his hands together and said devoutly: "My Lord, I found it."

...

After experiencing darkness and dreams again, not long after the Fairy Tale set sail, ethereal singing came from afar with the waves. The singing was sweet and lingering, as if someone was whispering tenderly in your ear, asking you to go in the direction of the singing.

"Mr. Sparrow, did you hear anyone singing?"

"Um."

Edward nodded, "It's a mermaid."

"Really? Where?"

"Not far."

He controlled the sea water to speed up the boat, and quickly headed in the direction of the mermaid's song, bypassing a large island across the sea. The mermaid's song suddenly became louder, and it was clear as if it was singing softly in their ears. Every note could touch the spirit body, and every melody made people intoxicated and yearning.

Bernadette's eyes suddenly became dazed, and she unconsciously wanted to move forward, as if she was about to jump into the sea.

Edward tapped her head lightly, awakening her from the enchantment of the song. She realized something and hugged Edward's arm: "This song... is wrong!"

"Of course."

Edward said: "From the appearance, mermaids do meet human aesthetic standards in many ways, but mermaids are more like animals, or even beasts, than 'humans'. They attract passing humans with their graceful postures and singing..."

Bernadette said: "Like the little mermaid and the prince?!"

"… and then eat humans alive as food."

"ah!"

The little girl hurriedly covered her mouth.

At this time, a large reef appeared in the distance, and a number of figures were sitting on the edge, singing softly.

They have human heads, pure eyes and brows with a hint of beauty, their chests are bulging but covered with dark red scales, and their lower bodies are huge fish tails that beat rhythmically against the rocks.

She quickly threw herself over the railing and leaned out to look. Her cheeks were red with excitement. "Mermaid! It's really a mermaid! Wow! It's a real mermaid!"

From the first time I went out to sea with trepidation and anticipation more than a month ago, to the intermittent searches during the process, to going out to sea again three weeks after Mr. Sparrow disappeared.

Finally I saw the legendary mermaid.

At this moment, it was like something I had been looking forward to for a long time had finally come true.

But besides being happy, the little girl couldn't help feeling a little worried: What excuse could I find to ask Mr. Sparrow to take me out to play?

"It's really beautiful."

"Not only is it beautiful, it also has a strange beauty. I can't imagine what would happen if Russell saw it."

"What did you say?"

Bernadette immediately turned around.

"Well, I'm just talking to myself, just pretend you didn't hear me."

The approach of the Fairy Tale immediately startled the mermaids, but as Edward released the "eat" natural disaster ability that brought about the intimate breath of the sea god's domain to the marine creatures, the mermaids did not hide after some hesitation.

Most of them lay timidly on the edge of the reef, looking at the approaching ships with suspicion, while a few brave ones continued to sing loudly on the reef.

Edward grabbed Bernadette's wrist and flashed to the reef, three or four meters away from several mermaids.

"Wow!"

The sudden approach scared Bernadette at first - she did not forget that these mermaids would eat people.

The mermaids panicked and wanted to jump into the water to escape, but Edward stretched out his hand and released the aura of the sea god's domain again. At the same time, he used [False Reality] to create an illusion so that the mermaids were no longer afraid.

"Want to touch them?"

"think!"

She nodded without hesitation, "But, didn't you say they would..."

"It's okay, just go ahead."

"good!"

After hearing what Edward said, Bernadette took a breath and slowly took a step towards the nearest mermaid. The mermaid tilted her head and looked at her with curiosity.

Until Bernadette came closer and carefully stretched out her hand, "Don't be afraid, I'll just touch you gently."

She talked to herself, not knowing whether she was talking to herself or to the mermaid.

"…"

The mermaid looked at the outstretched hand, then looked down at her own, then slowly extended her hand as well.

The two hands touched lightly, and then immediately separated as if by electric shock.

"Ah, her hands are so cold, she might be sick."

Bernadette exclaimed.

The mermaids also made a pleasant sound and said in their special language: "Her hands are so hot. She must be sick."

Hearing her voice, the mermaids who were watching nearby swam closer and formed a circle on the rocks. They looked at Bernadette with curiosity and confusion, and made pleasant calls one after another.

Bernadette immediately turned her head and looked at Edward in surprise: "Wow! Are they greeting me?"

"Yes, I do."

Edward had a strange expression on his face. Through his ability in the Seagod Domain, he roughly understood what the mermaids meant:

"Wow! She smells so good, the meat must be very good, can I eat her? It seems not, oh, what a pity, I really want to eat her."

Forget it, I won't translate for her.

Just as he was thinking about this, Edward suddenly heard a noisy prayer voice in his ears. Although he couldn't tell who it was, it was obviously a male.

Male,

Then let's wait a little longer.

This wait lasted more than twenty minutes.

When Bernadette had "made" friends with all the mermaids in the area, she shook hands and greeted them one by one, and asked Edward to help take a group photo. Only then did she return to the boat with Edward, feeling satisfied.

"Mr. Sparrow, you must have been lying to me just now!"

Bernadette looked at the Polaroid photo happily and said, "Mermaids are obviously beautiful, kind and cute. How can they be as scary as you say?"

"Look, they are all looking at me. They must be reluctant to leave me."

"Yes, yes! You are right!"

Yes, those mermaids are reluctant to part with you, but their meaning is probably completely different from what you understand:

"Ah, she's gone. It smells so good. I should have had a bite just now."

"Yeah, I really wanted to eat her, so why didn't I do it just now?"

"I'm the same way. I'm so hungry and want to eat meat."

One mermaid waved her hands anxiously: "Don't leave, come back and let me have a bite of your meat!"

Bernadette stood on the deck and looked at the mermaid, waving her hands repeatedly, "I'm leaving now. See you next time! Don't miss me!"

"Don't go! Don't go!"

"I'm leaving now. Goodbye!"

"Meat!"
