In the Name of Empress-Chapter 656 - 374: I Shall Ignite the Storm

Captain Robinson’s sense of service has always been there, after all, Roland is a rare straightforward client, a super VIP that must be maintained with care.

Previously, he thought they were certainly doomed, so his sense of service faded.

With a chance to survive now, he certainly wouldn’t slack off.

In the VIP cabin, Captain Robinson made an effort to calm down and quickly described the emergence and danger of the Eye of the Storm.

Simply put, it is a very strange superstorm, seemingly controlled, specifically targeting new ships at sea.

Ships targeted by the Eye of the Storm are virtually unable to survive.

After hearing Captain Robinson’s description, Roland almost confirmed that this was a controlled storm.

He let out a sigh of relief and smiled to reassure the captain, "Mr. Robinson, leave it to me. You go down and control the ship well, calm everyone, and don’t panic."

Although Robinson didn’t understand where Roland’s mysterious confidence and strength came from, this confidence had still infected him.

He swiftly disappeared at the door, returning to his post.

Facing the anxious first mate and others, his expression was calm with a touch of disdain for their panic.

"Why panic? The esteemed guest said it will be fine."

The first mate couldn’t help but mutter softly, "Captain, do you actually believe the words of that young dandy?"

"You don’t have to believe his words, but his female companion is not ordinary."

The captain confidently made a judgment, "If I’m not mistaken, she must be a Great Mage. It’s said that mages can summon the wind and rain, very powerful."

Compared to the captain’s full confidence and the first mate’s pessimistic attitude, the second mate’s reaction was much more realistic.

He interrupted the argument between the two and softly advised, "We have no other choice now, we can only pray to the Sea God."

The captain also fell silent. The Eye of the Storm is moving, and it particularly likes to chase fast-moving targets, the faster it runs, the faster it comes.

He had issued the order to drop anchor and lower the sails immediately and ordered all sailors to hide in the captain’s cabin to avoid wind and rain.

Now he was helpless and could only hope that the female mage would display her divine power.

Of course, he did not object to the second mate’s suggestion to pray. After all, most people instinctively pray to gods when faced with difficulties, even if the Sea God has long been asleep, unable to hear prayers, and never protecting any fortunate soul.

As the captain and sailors were anxious in the cabin, Roland’s greatest concern disappeared.

While the captain and sailors feared the Sea Demon controlling the Eye of the Storm, Roland was not afraid.

He had even slain an Ocean General, so what was a mere Sea Demon? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

His greatest fear was that this thing was a real super typhoon.

Before the fury of nature, humans are so insignificant.

A gentle sneeze from the ocean is a super tsunami capable of destroying everything to humans.

If it were truly a super typhoon, Roland could only pray for Halsey’s protection, to pass through the typhoon safely.

Fortunately, it wasn’t the wrath of nature.

Compared to the irresistible nature, ocean creatures, although mysterious, are really far inferior.

Roland turned his gaze to Lisa and smiled, asking, "Lisa, do you have any thoughts?"

"I want to summon a Flame Storm to force open the Eye of the Storm."

Roland: "...."

He was speechless, unable to help reminding, "Sister Lisa, what is our ship made of?"

"Oak... Oh, you’re worried the ship might catch fire?"

Lisa’s lips slightly curved, revealing a seemingly mysterious smile, "Dear brother, you know nothing about the vast Magic World. I am not only a Mage but also a Transcendent, the wild flames are as obedient as a little orange cat in my hands."

"If I want, I can even control flames to freeze the enemy."

Roland looked at Lisa with new respect.

Since the Battle of White Mountain, he had hardly seen Lisa in action, the few times she did, she displayed the wild power of Flame Magic, never demonstrating precise control over fire.

Unexpectedly, Lisa had grown to such a level, Roland was somewhat looking forward to her performance.

Perhaps Roland was too eager to see the confrontation between the Flame Storm and the storm, or perhaps the second mate’s prayer didn’t reach the Sea God, anyway, the Eye of the Storm’s moving direction locked precisely onto the Diamond Princess, rushing quickly.

The captain observing the situation in the captain’s cabin saw this scene and his face changed dramatically.

Even though the young dandy out with his beautiful wife made a promise, despite the young lady being a Great Mage, she was still too young.

Magic is not like other fields; even super geniuses need a long time to cultivate.

People always have a stereotype about mages, believing that age brings deeper accumulation. Just like seeing a young doctor always raises doubt in the heart, seeing a young mage also brings unease.

Such a young and beautiful girl, could she have obtained the title of Great Mage through connections or even other means?

If not for remembering the group of unlucky ones who impersonated a mage and were executed a few days back, the captain might have almost convinced himself.

He bit his lip, letting a sailor go up to notify Roland.

Just after issuing the order, he called the sailor back.

"Wait, I’d better go myself!"

He knew these high-standing young dandies too well. They may not be very capable, but their arrogance is undeniable.

Even if some young dandies seem approachable and kind, gentle and elegant, it is all an act.

They do so to want others to cooperate with their performance, to help them build a good image.

If someone really takes this approachable attitude seriously, they will certainly suffer.
