in the name of the queen.

Chapter 233 The bloody misfortune?
After walking out of the cabin and looking at the amazing changes outside the cabin, Roland's eyes suddenly froze.

The sea monster he expected did not appear. What appeared on the sea were several large and stunning tentacles.

octopus?

Roland squinted his eyes and his brain was working rapidly, searching for relevant information.

Soon, a string of information appeared in his mind.

If nothing else happens, this should be a super sea monster called the Devil Octopus. It is not affiliated with any marine force and lives alone, eating whomever it catches.

To put it simply, encountering this kind of thing should be either a conspiracy or just pure bad luck.

Roland thought of Alina's deduction before departure.

It's really accurate, he thought silently.

Before the fleet set off, Roland asked Alina to deduce Lisa's fortune in order to reassure the worried Alina.

Under the angel card, Alina saw Lisa being plagued by bad luck, and then there was a red mist, making it impossible to see clearly.

Although the prophecy was unfavorable, Lisa firmly did not believe it and still asked to go with her.

Now that Lisa is with him, bad luck is certainly contagious.

Facing the demon octopus, Roland did not rush to take action, but gave the command to Bridges.

Let the professionals do the naval battle.

Demonic octopuses have appeared many times in history, and there are mature ways to deal with them.

Although the giant octopus looks scary, it actually doesn't cause much damage.

The damage the tentacles can do to a hull made of solid oak is not fatal.

As long as you are not unlucky enough to be caught by the tentacles on the spot, the chance of being killed by the octopus is not high.

Bridges very calmly directed the crew to prepare according to the anti-octopus combat regulations.

Several second-level battleships around the Sovereign quickly dispersed, looking for a suitable location.

Artillery is temporarily unusable during heavy rain, but fortunately there is no need for artillery to deal with octopuses.

The huge ballista equipped on the bow is the trump card.

Several crew members quickly applied paralysis medicine to the arrowhead of the huge crossbow and prepared to launch.

At this tense moment, one of the tentacles of the demon octopus appeared very covertly on the port side of the Sovereign.

"careful!"

The sharp-eyed sailors on the deck saw the tentacles and roared.

Unfortunately, the roar quickly dissipated in the storm, and an unlucky sailor was picked up by the tentacles and thrown into the sky.

The unlucky sailor was thrown at least dozens of meters high.

He looked at the gloomy sky and screamed in despair.

Although he is not dead yet, his life is about to end.

Without even looking at the hapless sailor, Bridges immediately gave the order to launch.

Accompanied by a crisp explosion, the Sovereign's bow ballistae fired a giant crossbow arrow more than three meters long at the arrogant octopus.

The crossbow arrow, as sharp as a spear, hit the octopus accurately.

At the moment when the crossbow was fired, another spear flew out from the top deck.

"call out!"

The sharp sound of the metal gun tip cutting through the air is like a magical sound that enchants the soul.

The high-speed rotating spear pierced the unlucky sailor who flew to the highest point like lightning.

Only a few people noticed this scene.

That includes Bridges.

The octopus was hit by a crossbow arrow, and its fate was already sealed. Bridges naturally wanted to take a look at the sailor who was about to land heroically.

However, he saw the spear flying out from the top deck.

The spear accurately penetrated the sailor's coat and took the sailor flying towards the mast.

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the sailor nailed his spear to the mast.

The hapless sailor, screaming in despair, soon found himself surrounded by luck.

It was not Lady Luck who saved him, but Governor Roland.

The arrogant octopus was hit by a crossbow arrow, and the anesthetic took effect quickly.

The octopus has a very high IQ and quickly judged that the ship was not easy to mess with.

It shook off one of its tentacles and scurried away.

Huge tentacles squirmed on the deck of the ship, as if they were still alive.

Bridges breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to the messenger: "Inform the fleet to stay alert and leave this sea area at full speed!"

"Go with a few more people and put that lucky boy down."

After the arrangement was completed, he quickly climbed to the top deck and reported the battle situation to Roland.

"I saw it all."

Roland smiled and raised his right hand, indicating that Bridges didn't need to say anything.

Pointing to the tentacles still wriggling on the deck of the ship, Roland asked with a smile: "General Bridges, how does this thing taste?"

Bridges was stunned for a moment, spread his hands, and said half-jokingly: "Octopus is a delicacy gifted by the ocean, but the meat of the devil octopus is too tough, I'm afraid."

"I have a solution!"

Lisa interrupted Bridges, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Roland, I have a way to cook devil octopus. Do you want to try it?"

"If it's octopus, can it be grilled on the teppanyaki?" Since Lisa was interested in cooking, Roland would naturally not be disappointed.

"Of course!"

Lisa excitedly jumped off the top deck, her toes on the railing, and stepped on the middle deck to jump off again.

The distance of more than ten meters is not a problem for her at all.

She shuttled through it like a flexible bird and quickly came to the tentacles.

Taking out the magic dagger given by Anthony, Lisa stabbed it hard and quickly cut off the most tender part. What kind of devil octopus? This is clearly a food ingredient, a very rare ingredient.

The magic dagger in Lisa's hand is the Song of Lava, a well-known weapon used by a famous archon during the Magic Empire. Although it is not an artifact, it does have a few artifact properties.

Magic weapons of this level are also called sacred weapons, and usually only senior magicians and wizards are qualified to use them.

Antony lets Lisa use the sacred weapon, which is somewhat contrary to the ancestral law.

Fortunately, he is already the most powerful magician in the Magic Association. Since there is no one above him, he can secretly practice favoritism.

If Anthony saw Lisa using a fire attribute artifact as a fish knife, I wonder if he would be so angry that his beard would tremble.

This kind of behavior, which in the eyes of orthodox magicians is extremely rebellious, seems to Lisa to be a matter of course.

Roland said that tools are for use.

She thought Roland was right.

The Song of Lava is made of excellent material, and even if the magic contained inside is not driven, its sharpness exceeds the masterpieces of most top craftsmen of this era.

Such a sharp knife would be wasted if not used for filleting fish.

Lisa looked at the tentacles of the demon octopus with a critical eye, and only selected a few sections with the most delicious meat and the thinnest skin for the knife.

Her knife skills are precise and she quickly completes the selection of ingredients.

Bridges, who was standing next to Roland on the top deck, had no time to call Lisa "be careful" when he saw her floating down like a ball of flame.

He watched in stunned silence as Lisa took out an ordinary-looking dagger and cut off the extra-tough tentacles with a few strokes.

He knew how tough the tentacles of this demonic octopus were, and only the sharpest spear with full power could barely stab it.

Just using a dagger to slice someone so lightly, what kind of strength is this?
Bridges was silent.

He knew that there were huge differences between people, but it was still hard for him to accept that Roland's chefs were all so powerful.

He smiled to himself and found a reason to leave the upper deck.

Looking back from the corner of his eye, Bridges saw that Roland was not surprised at all. He sighed and cheered up and headed to the command room.

Although he has no chance in this life, it is a good thing to be able to make meritorious deeds with the Governor and Her Majesty the Queen.

Within a year of sailing with the Queen and the Governor, he became a baronet.

Although this title was of a transitional nature and he would never actually go to the Queen's territory, the honor of becoming a vassal of the Queen's private territory still made him excited.

Following the Queen and the Governor, there are many opportunities for meritorious service, and he still wants to make progress.

He wants to be Lord of the Admiralty, he wants to be an earl!

Everyone has something they aspire to achieve.

So does Lisa.

She carried the most delicious slices of tentacles into the kitchen, wanting to use this special ingredient to demonstrate her extraordinary cooking skills.

Roland wanted to see her cooking process, but Lisa firmly refused.

“This isn’t just any cooking, it’s a culinary challenge and I don’t want to be distracted.”

Her reasons were so good that Roland couldn't refuse.

But this was only a superficial reason. The real reason was that she was not absolutely sure, so she cut several fresh slices of the tentacles.

So many slices are all materials she made through trial and error.

She could try and make mistakes, but she didn't want Roland to see the cooking fail.

After watching Roland leave, Lisa locked the door bolt and started cooking while humming a light song.

Narrowing her eyes and staring at the tentacles, Lisa slashed her knife like lightning and quickly cut one of the sections into thin slices of meat.

Flames surged from his fingertips, and the iron plate quickly burned red, and the temperature became higher and higher.

Without enough time to wipe off the sweat, Lisa spread the oil evenly and arranged the meat slices.

"Hey!"

Carefully prepared seasonings are sprinkled constantly, and the octopus slices exude an alluring fragrance.

Lisa stretched out her fingers as delicate as onions, picked up a piece of meat, put it into her mouth and tasted it.

It tastes good, but far from perfect.

She had no intention of serving the teppanyaki with octopus fillets to Roland.

She extended her blade towards the second slice.

Soon, the third slice was also activated by Lisa.

The taste improved each time, but she was still not satisfied.

Lisa hoped to see Roland's expression of disbelief after tasting the delicious food.

Although Roland has already given her a five-star review, it is said that on top of the five-star review, there is also a soul review that goes beyond full marks.

Only food that touches the soul can get this kind of evaluation.

Usual ingredients and common cooking methods definitely won’t work.

If you want to get more than five-star soul praise, you must do some unique skills.

She set her sights on the last slice.

"Little octopus, please, it must be delicious!"

Lisa muttered something, then raised the knife and cut it.

"what!!"

Screams started.

Roland, who was reading a navigation chart in the next room, heard Lisa's scream, and his expression suddenly changed. He didn't even have time to go around the door and jumped out of the window.

He slammed the door hard and suddenly found that it was locked. Roland was anxious and smashed open the kitchen door with a heavy punch.

Lisa pursed her lips and looked at the tentacles that were still wriggling on the ground. Blood was constantly flowing down her fingers.

"Is it, is it still alive?"

Roland looked at Lisa's fingers and suddenly realized.

Is this the result of Alina's deduction?

Will Lisa be plagued by bad luck, encounter danger at sea, or even bleed?
It was indeed a false alarm.
