in the name of the queen.

In the Eternal City, in Piazza Venetia, Roland is giving a passionate speech.

On the surface, he was talking about the glorious history of the Magic Empire, but in fact he kept hinting that the Talia people were the legitimate descendants of the Magic Empire.

His reason was very simple. In this world, only the Magic Association and the Talia people had brown-black eyes and the same hair color.

In other Rodinian countries, blonde hair is the mainstream, with flaxen and light red hair as secondary colors.

The Talia people look very similar to the legendary people of the Magic Empire. Since they live in the core area of ​​the Magic Empire and the boss of the Magic Association also recognizes them, they are the descendants of the Magic Empire.

No one cares what the facts are.

Roland's lecture tour began in the Eternal City and ended on the southern coast.

Through his propaganda, more and more Talia people recognized that they were descendants of the Magic Empire, rather than Talia people without history.

The Taliyahs have very flexible bottom lines and are willing to do anything as long as it benefits them.

Roland is the only one with a flexible bottom line, but all the Talia people are the same. No wonder they can handle all kinds of storms with ease.

Not only did they label themselves as the Magic Empire, they also maintained friendly relations with Lisa and Roland, playing both sides.

The agreement stipulated that they must not violate the existing borders of the Rodinian countries. The Talia people accepted this without any psychological barriers and even thought it was helping them.

After all, they are surrounded by powerful countries like Tyrol and Golden Kite, none of which they can challenge.

The bottom line for the establishment of the Rodinian Alliance is that the existing territories of the Rodinian countries cannot be changed. Violating this bottom line is to challenge the entire system he has built.

The people of Talia are all smart people, so they naturally wouldn't be so stupid.

Their sights were set on the Southern Continent, which was once the home of the Magic Empire and was inhabited by a bunch of backward barbarians who were very easy to control.

After Roland left, the entire Kingdom of Talia was eroded by a fanatical great power ideology. No one called themselves Talia anymore, either publicly or privately. Instead, they openly talked about how great we are from the Magic Empire.

Not only Sulla was stunned by this scene, but Antony was also stunned.

The master and disciple were silent for a long time, and finally returned to reality.

Take over the richest areas in the north and east of the southern continent as the foundation for the southward expansion of the Magic Empire, and join the Rodinia Alliance as backup.

It would be best if you could get a ticket to the new era by your own ability. If not, then you just have to hold on tight and you will also be eligible to get on board.

Of course, they were not ungrateful people. If they got the tickets, they would also take Roland with them. This was also the basis for Roland's personal negotiation with Anthony.

If they don't even have this bit of sincerity, Roland won't bother talking to them.

After seeing Roland off, Sura let out a long sigh and began to prepare to expand southward with great energy.

He was grateful to Roland. Fortunately, with him around, Teacher Anthony wouldn't go too crazy.

The teacher's ambition has been ignited, and as a disciple, he naturally has to serve the teacher.

Antony gave all the official work to Sulla, but he must not be allowed to do the secret disappearance of the Talia royal family.

Anthony has a clear understanding of this disciple.

He has outstanding abilities and good talents. His greatest strength is his integrity, but his greatest weakness is that he is too upright.

"It would be great if this child had Roland's flexible hands, even if it was only one-third, no, one-fifth would be fine!"

Anthony shook his head, brushing away the regret.

It is not difficult to eliminate the royal family of Talia, but the difficult part is not to let the blood splash on yourself.

Fortunately, the Talia royal family has offended many people over the years, and they can always find a family that has been persecuted by them to the point of being destroyed but has not yet died out.

Anthony thought expressionlessly.

This is a political struggle, not a dinner party, but a cruel game where the winner takes all.

The Kingdom of Talia was originally not qualified to participate in the performance on the final big stage, but thanks to Lisa and the legacy of the Magic Empire, they are qualified.

There is nothing in this world that doesn't come at a price.

It's just that some prices are too heavy to accept.

"Lisa, there is nothing in this world that doesn't cost a price."

Facing Lisa's curiosity, Roland spoke calmly.

Just three days ago, they set out from the port of Naples and boarded a luxury ship with their carriage.

This made Lisa very curious because the captain had just rejected her request five days ago, causing her and Roland's trip to Naples to be delayed for two days.

Fortunately, this city is a famous tourist city with sunshine, beaches and blue waves.

They found a deserted stretch of coast and enjoyed a relaxing time together.

It’s hard to let go of the enjoyment, but the journey has to continue.

Just when Lisa was struggling to find a ship to take them and Eden away, Roland took action.

It took him only five minutes to convince the captain to take only the two of them.

Lisa was very curious about what superpower Roland had used. Did he reveal his identity to pressure the captain? But thinking about it, it was impossible. Roland was not that kind of person.

Just when she was puzzled, Roland said calmly: "Money power. In simple terms, I will charter a boat directly. This boat can carry a total of 300 passengers, including 30 first-class cabins, and the rest are second- and third-class cabins. Although there are many people, the ticket price is not expensive. I will charter the boat directly and negotiate a 20% discount, which is not a loss."

Lisa's eyes widened.

She was a little confused about Roland. If he wanted to save money, why did he charter a boat? If he didn't care about money, why did he insist on negotiating a 20% discount?

Facing his sister's question, Roland said with a serious expression:

"Because this is a business activity, it must conform to business logic. I don't like my honeymoon to be disturbed by irrelevant people, so I have to charter a boat. But if we charter a boat, we can reduce their waiting time at the port, which in turn reduces their costs. I think it's not too much to ask for a 20% discount."

Looking at Roland's serious expression, Lisa couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You're still so talkative."

Roland also laughed, "My sister used to scold me, 'Why don't you catch a pretty girl when you are so good at talking?' Now I have caught one, and..."

The words stopped abruptly.

If he married three wives outside, his sister might be happy for him, but if these three wives also included Lisa herself, this statement would be too low EQ.

He hated himself for speaking so quickly.

Hell, he would never say that in front of Sif and Alina.

Sure enough, Roland's words touched Lisa's sore spot. Her face turned pale and her fingertips trembled unconsciously. She was obviously very angry.

When Roland was still a minor, Lisa would probably pinch his ears and give him a severe lesson if she was so angry until Roland accepted it.

But now it was different, she couldn't pinch Roland's ears.

Even if Roland doted on her and didn't argue with her, it wouldn't work anymore.

Lisa took a deep breath and asked faintly, "Do you show off like this in front of them?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lisa wanted to slap herself.

So stupid, why compare yourself with them?

Just as she was struggling, Roland smiled sheepishly, "I don't know why, but there are some things that I can only say carelessly in front of my sister."

“Because we are family.”

Lisa let out a sigh of relief and found out the reason why Roland and she had spoken out of turn.

"That's right, because we are family. You are my only relative and my love. So you hold the highest position in my heart!"

Roland found his lost emotional intelligence from the void and said quickly, "Of course they are family, even if this relationship has deteriorated a bit."

They both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and couldn't help laughing when they looked at each other. The slight awkwardness just now disappeared.

Lisa's mood is like the weather at sea, changing three times in a second.

Just a few minutes ago, the sky was clear and cloudless, but just a few minutes later, it became covered with dark clouds and it was about to rain.

Although a mere rainstorm would not have any effect on them given their strength, their clothes did not have the hardness of a transcendental magician and would definitely get wet. Roland and Lisa had no choice but to return to the cabin first.

Through the narrow glass windows of the top cabin, they could see the waves getting stronger and stronger, and the luxury cruise ship they were on, the Diamond Princess, was swaying in the waves like a leaf.

Lisa felt a little uncomfortable, so she simply lay in Roland's arms and closed her eyes to curb the seasickness.

With her good balance ability, she shouldn't have been seasick, but the waves were really big.

Just as the two were silent, there was a knock on the door. It was a little faint in the violent sea breeze, but Roland still heard it.

I opened the cabin door with some surprise and saw the captain struggling to hold on to the protruding railing to prevent himself from being blown away.

Roland quickly dragged the captain in.

"Captain Robinson, how come you come here with such strong wind and waves?"

"It's time for dinner. I saw that you two didn't come to the restaurant, so I brought two servings of seafood fried rice."

He smiled awkwardly and took out the lunch box from his arms.

Seeing the captain's embarrassed look, Roland was speechless. Although the fare charged by this guy was not cheap at all, his service awareness was also very advanced.

Roland had a better impression of Captain Robinson and said with a smile, "Captain, you've come all the way here. It's windy and dangerous outside. Don't do this."

"not dangerous."

The captain sighed and explained with a smile: "I have seen stronger waves than this. Fortunately, with the protection of the sea god, we can always escape danger. Right now, the wind and waves have not exceeded the red alert standard."

Just as the captain was bragging about his ship-handling skills, a dull and long horn sounded suddenly on the deck.

The sound of the horn was very penetrating, passing through the strong wind and drifting into every cabin. Roland and the captain both heard the horn's obvious warning sound.

The captain's face changed slightly, and he was obviously unhappy.

"Which bastard raised the alert level without permission? I'll go back and deal with them later. Don't worry, my dear guest. It's only a yellow alert level now. I'm just reminding everyone to be careful. It's not a big problem."

"I have to go back and keep an eye on these bastards. Please enjoy your time."

Since it was the captain's job, Roland did not try to stop him. He just sent the captain to the door of the cabin and said in a very low voice: "If there is any danger, please notify us immediately."

The captain wanted to say, "What's the use of notifying you? What can two landlubbers do to help?" However, considering that these two guys took a carriage to board the ship and even chartered a boat, he knew that they were either rich or noble.

In line with the principle of not offending major customers, the captain immediately smiled and nodded seriously.

"Please rest assured that the safety of guests' lives and property is the creed of the Diamond Princess."

Roland only half believed this.

If the sea god appeared and said that sacrificing the passengers would bring safety, how many captains could resist the temptation?
In this era, it is no longer news that private ships would take down their flags and hang up a skull and crossbones flag to play pirates while sailing in the open ocean.

Not to mention private ships, even regular fleets of countries like Sussex occasionally act as pirates.

Even Marshal Haiyan's direct descendants became pirates, and they are all the same.

The captain was so attentive only because of the generous remuneration. It would be a joke to rely on their professional ethics.

Even in civilized times, there are tragedies where a fishing boat goes out to sea with only a few people returning. In the tense environment of the ocean, the evil of human nature will only be infinitely magnified.

Roland hinted to the captain that he was very capable, but he didn't want the captain to take risks.

He doesn't know how to sail, nor does he want to swim hundreds of miles to get ashore.

Human nature cannot stand the test, especially when in danger.

The captain's judgment was correct. The weather returned to normal not long after, and the Diamond Princess did not even suffer much damage in the storm.

The passenger ship was originally a standard galleon, but was converted after it made enough money.

Now this ship not only has more than a dozen heavy artillery, but is also covered with iron armor in important parts.

According to Roland's discerning eyes, the firepower of this ship is far inferior to that of a second- or third-tier battleship, but its overall combat capability is far superior to that of an ordinary cruiser.

But he didn't care.

There are pirates everywhere at sea these days, and encountering pirates at sea is not a good thing. Those who can leave half of the goods are considered conscientious pirates, while the brutal pirates will kill all the men and take away the women and goods.

Perhaps in the eyes of these cruel pirates, women are also a kind of goods, high-quality goods that can relieve the brothers' sexual desires.

With women, they don't have to spend a lot of effort researching which fish has a smoother mouth.

If you want to make the pirates retreat, you have to be more brutal than the pirates. This is the creed followed by everyone who makes a living on the sea, and Captain Robinson is no exception.

The Diamond Princess, which is armed to the teeth, has been able to return safely after hundreds of voyages, absolutely relying on its strength.

The sea was sunny and windy again, and Roland and Lisa came out to enjoy the breeze again.

The Diamond Princess is sailing safely and, unless anything unexpected happens, will arrive at Port Adriatic in three days, docking at the largest port on the southern continent.

Having earned this money, Captain Robinson would not treat the sailors badly. He planned to invite his brothers to the curfew cave in Port Adrian to have some fun and relieve the loneliness during this period.

Just when the captain was feeling relaxed and even forgiving the first mate who had raised the alert level without authorization, a shrill warning whistle sounded.

The captain's heart sank as he saw the desperate expression on the observer's face on the mast.

He sighed and saw the flag signal raised by the observer.

"There is a fast-moving eye of the storm ahead!"

Eye of the Storm?!

The captain suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest and almost passed out.

It was very rare for a ship to escape from the eye of a storm. As far as he knew, the last ship to escape from the eye of a storm was thirty-five years ago.

It's over! The captain sighed inwardly.

He wanted to go up and give Roland a squeak, but when he thought about his impending death, his sense of service faded.

It's no use telling this newly married noble young master! Can he...
Robinson's eyes lit up.

This noble young master may be useless, but his wife is a magician!

The most popular profession in the Kingdom of Talia is to become a magician. Even if you just wear a white apprentice magician robe, you can walk sideways, and this beautiful girl is obviously a magician.

Although she was wearing casual clothes, the logo of the Magic Association was still retained on the corner of her clothes.

This is a mark that no one dares to forge.

In the past few months, three nobles and a dozen unscrupulous businessmen were sentenced to death by the Magic Association for forging the identities of magicians, and the execution method was a brutal elemental explosion.

It is said that the screams of those unfortunate souls can shake the entire city.

Robinson was well-informed and recognized Lisa's identity as a magician, which she did not hide.

A smile appeared on his face. Judging from the exquisite care taken by this beautiful girl, she was definitely from a noble family. What's more, the long robe of this beautiful girl was embroidered with gold edges.

This is a real magician!

The captain's sense of service reoccupies his mind, and he quickly runs to the upper cabin where Roland lives. (End of this chapter)
