In the Name of Empress-Chapter 655 - 373: The Captain’s Sense of Service (Part 3)

Even regular fleets from countries like Sussex sometimes moonlight as pirates.

Even the direct subordinates of Haiyan Marshal have turned to piracy; everyone is pretty much the same.

The captain is only courteous because of the generous reward, relying on their professional ethics is a joke.

Even in civilized times, there’s been the tragedy of a fishing boat returning with only a few people. In the tense environment of the ocean, the evil in human nature is only magnified.

Roland hinted to the captain that he was quite capable himself, hoping the captain would not take risks.

He couldn’t pilot the ship, nor did he wish to swim hundreds of miles to shore.

Human nature cannot withstand tests, especially in times of danger.

The captain’s judgment was indeed correct, before long the weather returned to normal, and the Diamond Princess didn’t suffer too much damage in the storm.

Originally, this passenger ship was a standard large sailboat, but it was modified after earning enough money.

Now, the ship had not only a dozen heavy cannons but also armor plating on important parts.

According to Roland’s discerning eye, the ship’s firepower was nowhere near a second or third class battleship, but its overall combat power far surpassed that of an ordinary cruiser.

However, he did not care.

These days, the sea is full of pirates, encountering pirates at sea is not a good thing. Pirates who leave half your goods are considered goodhearted; the more ruthless ones kill all the men and take away the women and cargo.

Perhaps in the eyes of these cruel pirates, women are also a kind of cargo, premium goods for their brothers to relieve their desires.

With women around, they need not painstakingly study which fish mouth is smoother.

To make pirates retreat, one must be fiercer than the pirates; this is the creed everyone who makes a living at sea follows, including Captain Robinson.

This heavily armed Diamond Princess has safely returned over a hundred times out at sea, thanks to its strength.

The sea returned to sunny weather, Roland and Lisa came out to enjoy the breeze again.

The Diamond Princess sailed ahead safely, barring any unforeseen events, it would arrive at Adri Port in three days, docking at the largest port on the South Continent.

After earning this money, Captain Robinson would not skimp on his crew, planning to take the brothers to Curfew Cave at Adri Port for a good time to dispel the loneliness of the past period.

Just as the captain was idly content, even forgiving the first mate for raising the alert level on his own, the shrill warning whistle sounded.

The captain’s heart sank, he saw the observer on the mast’s hopeless expression.

He sighed deeply, seeing the flag signals from the observer.

"There is a fast-moving Eye of the Storm ahead!"

Eye of the Storm?!

The captain’s heart and lungs suddenly stopped, almost passed out with vision going black.

Ships escaping from the Eye of the Storm are extremely rare. As he knew, the last ship to escape was thirty-five years ago.

It’s over! The captain lamented in his heart.

He initially wanted to inform Roland, but thinking they were about to die, the intention to serve waned.

Telling this newlywed noble young master wouldn’t help! Would he be able to...

Robinson’s eyes lit up.

This noble young master might be useless, but his wife is a mage!

The Talia Kingdom’s most trending profession now is becoming a mage. Even wearing the white apprentice mage robe allows one to walk sideways, and this beautiful girl is evidently a mage.

Though she’s wearing casual clothes, the hem still retained the emblem of the Magic Association.

This is an emblem no one dares to forge.

In the past few months, three nobles and more than a dozen illegal merchants were sentenced to death by the Magic Association for forging mage identities, and the execution method was the brutal elemental explosion.

It’s said the unlucky victims’ screams could shake the whole city.

Robinson, experienced and knowledgeable, recognized Lisa’s undisguised mage identity.

Smiling more freely, considering the refined maintenance of this beautiful girl, she’s surely born of high nobility, not to mention her robe is embroidered with gold edges.

This is a true mage!

The sense of service reclaimed the captain’s mind, he quickly dashed towards Roland’s upper cabin quarters.
