Chapter 288: Storms on the Storm Sea

Lightning pierced the boiling vortex, the sky was ground into iron grey, and the clouds were soaked in ink and surging.

The wind rolled salt grains and whipped the face, the wave ridges arched millions of transparent giant beasts, hitting the ship's side and wailing.

The keel creaked and convulsed among the wave teeth, and the thunder exploded from the seabed, shattering the lungs.

The Lisi Kingdom's fleet hadn't encountered a single calm day since they set off. Every day, there was either lightning and thunder or overcast clouds, and the heavy rain mixed with the seawater surging onto the ship had already made not an inch of dry wooden board on the deck of the 'Golden King'.

But this was already the most insignificant problem of the 'Golden King'. The continuous storms and waves hitting made this originally sturdy wooden galleon appear with multiple cracks and looseness, and everyone was worried that the 'Golden King' would disintegrate at any time. At that time, in this vast sea, everyone would die here.

Only then did people know that they were just ants struggling to survive in the face of the power of nature.

As for those merchant ships that originally intended to follow the 'Golden King' to avoid pirate invasion, they had long fallen behind. Controlling the wind direction in such weather was almost an impossible thing.

Therefore, the 'Golden King' was also facing the fact that it had lost its way!

And among this series of bad things, the only thing that could barely be called half a good thing was that this storm that had been lingering on the 'Golden King' had been pushing the ship forward. According to the astrological results of Master Altarlos, the 'Golden King' was sailing forward at almost five times the original plan.

Wind, waves, ocean currents, everything seemed to be eagerly trying to send the 'Golden King' to a certain place.

"Master Altarlos, do you know where we are now? There are too many dangers on the Storm Sea. If we can know the sea area in advance, we can still make some preparations."

Prince Karl was worried. He had always not believed in gods but only in the swords and sturdy ships and cannons in his hands, but this weird voyage made his originally firm belief waver.

"Your Highness, now the dark clouds are rolling overhead. We have been at sea for more than a month but haven't seen the sun or the moon once, and we don't even know if it's day or night now. Sigh! Even divination is... sigh!"

The old astrologer had also lost the majesty he had when he first set sail. Altarlos's face was withered and withered, and the continuous sighing also revealed his powerlessness in his heart.

It was not just the Prince and the astrologer with the highest status on the ship who were hesitant; in fact, the entire 'Golden King' was shrouded in this despair.

Everyone was silently doing their own work, but those dull faces revealed the real thoughts in everyone's hearts.

Even those travelers who had managed to get on the ship through various methods were now sighing one by one. They originally thought that following the Prince to sea could mix some plot missions to do, but they didn't expect to encounter such weather, or rather, a natural disaster.

The travelers were not as frequent as when they first boarded the ship to perform in front of the Prince, and those travelers who had mixed into the sailor status to board the ship were simply not doing their duties, and almost all the travelers had completely given up.

The reason for saying almost is because in this desperate atmosphere, there was still a voice that could often be heard in the cracks of storms and thunder.

"Hahahaha, Shasha, look, I finally learned how to fly between the masts, hahahaha!"

A yellow figure kept swinging between the masts, leaving a series of laughter in mid-air.

"Sister Vivian, be careful, the wind and waves are so big, be careful not to be thrown into the sea again."

In the lookout tower on the main mast, Agasha helplessly supported her chin and looked at Vivian who was flying around.

Continuous storms made the lookout's work dispensable. After the previous lookout was rolled into the sea by the storm and fell half-disabled, no one was willing to come to the lookout tower.

And Agasha was not at ease with Vivian making trouble on the deck, and she didn't want to look at the half-dead appearance of that group of people in the cabin, so she ran to the lookout tower to admire the violence of the sea.

"It's okay, Shasha, Setus has been waiting in the water to save me! Hahahaha! Shasha, do you want to come and compare with me? Although I didn't learn as fast as you, but... oops... ptooey ptooey ptooey! Setus save me!"

Vivian, who was playing happily in mid-air, was hit by a wave before she finished speaking, not only choked on a mouthful of seawater but was also rolled into the sea by the wave.

Prince Karl, who was upset and just walked out of the cabin to get some air, happened to see this scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The scene of Vivian being rolled into the seawater by the waves would happen from time to time in recent days, and everyone would no longer worry about her, because her bone fish named Setus would always save her and send her back to the ship at the first time.

"Miss Agasha, thank you very much for being willing to take the initiative to serve as a lookout in the current situation."

Prince Karl naturally didn't worry about Vivian who fell off the ship, and turned to Agasha who was counting the waves against the strong wind on the lookout tower.

"You're welcome, Your Highness! I wonder if Master Altarlos can divine where we are now?"

Nodding, although Agasha felt a bit regretful, she didn't care much. The 【Forest Elf】 bloodline made her agility almost crown all races, so she could walk as freely as on flat ground even on such a bumpy sea ship. She jumped off the main mast in two or three steps and walked to Prince Karl to ask with a smile. She still didn't like shouting, but she had to be loud in such a storm.

"Sigh! Still can't, Master Altarlos has tried his best, but without starlight, he can do nothing!"

Nodding, Agasha realized something was wrong.

"Where is Sister Vivian? Why hasn't she come up for so long?"

Usually, Vivian would be saved by Setus as soon as she fell down. Sometimes she was even caught by the bone fish and sent back to the ship while she was still in mid-air. This time, she hadn't come up for so long.

Prince Karl also realized that something was wrong, and the two just prepared to run to the ship's side to check when they saw a snow-white figure carrying a yellow figure jumping out of the water.

"Hahahaha, Shasha, guess what I found! Such a big octopus! Hahahaha!"

"Bang!"

As soon as Vivian finished speaking, she was slapped away by a huge tentacle, and then the 【Paladin】's golden armor immediately drew lightning from the dark clouds.

"Clang!" 【288-43

Lightning illuminated the sea surface; Vivian spat out a mouthful of black smoke and fell into the seawater once again.

Leaving only Agasha and Karl on the ship, both of whom watched in dumbstruck amazement.
