In the Name of Empress

Chapter 660 375: The Secret of the Deep Sea Giant Demon (Part 3)

But she quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

With the teacher here, not even Roland would dare cause trouble in Adri Port.

She led the way in front, with Roland and Lisa following behind, all remaining silent along the way.

The three walked for a few kilometers and stopped at a treehouse outside the city.

"Lord Roland, the Crow Sage is just a nickname. The teacher's real name is Cyrus, you may also call him the Great Sage."

"Alright, I understand."

It's nothing to call him the Crow Sage behind his back, but calling him that to his face would indeed be impolite.

Just as Roland was about to ascend the treehouse, the trunk of the towering ancient tree gently opened, and a slender figure emerged from within.

"Roland, Lisa, welcome to the Mist Forest. I was occupied earlier and couldn't personally greet you at the port, please forgive me."

The Crow Sage gestured invitingly, warmly welcoming the two.

"Come, come, the dishes and fruit wine are ready. Let's eat and chat."

Lisa couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Cyrus, did you know we were coming?"

The Crow Sage couldn't help but chuckle, "I know a bit of astrology and was aware that esteemed guests would be arriving. Combined with Mr. Roland's travels, it wasn't hard to guess, right?"

"If you two came and I had no idea, that would be too rude. Please!"

The Crow Sage's reasons were ample, but Roland felt he wasn't telling the truth.

Roland didn't think much of it. After all, they didn't even count as partners, and were even enemies before.

The Nubian navy was completely destroyed under the combined strike of the Sussex Empire's Navy and the Red Clothed Pirates.

Though the Crow Sage seemed calm, who knew his true thoughts?

Entering the treehouse, it was a completely different scene inside.

The large tree, appearing to have a diameter of only three meters outside, was extraordinarily spacious inside, with a diameter of at least a hundred meters.

Space magic or a divine artifact? Roland leaned towards the latter.

Seeing Roland and Lisa only curious but not surprised, the Crow Sage's heart tightened, pondering deeply.

He cleared his throat lightly, smiling as he invited Roland and Lisa to the guest room.

The Nubian cuisine, already prepared, was served dish by dish, quickly filling the long dining table.

"I've heard Miss Lisa's culinary skills are outstanding. I wonder if you'll like the flavors here."

Nubian cuisine mainly consists of meat, barbecue, and flatbreads, with few vegetables.

Lisa professionally tasted the food, giving it high praise.

Nubian and Talia cuisines each have their characteristics, using stronger spices and flavors, but quite delicious.

With Lisa's compliments, the atmosphere at the table became much more harmonious.

Seeing Roland in a good mood, Cyrus tentatively asked, "Did you encounter the Eye of the Storm coming from the north?"

"Unfortunately, we happened to encounter it," Roland said calmly.

"Then you..." An unusual sparkle flashed in Cyrus's eyes.

"I killed the controller of the Eye of the Storm, which you call the Wind Demon."

"Killed?" Cyrus's surprise was evident, "Are you sure?"

"Very sure," Roland said solemnly.

Cyrus's breathing became a bit heavy. After an unknown amount of time, he slowly said:

"Roland, beneath the deep sea, the giant demon is gradually awakening. The ocean will only become more violent, and I..."

As Cyrus pondered how to continue, Roland asked solemnly, "What is the status of the giant demon?"

"Well, I'm not sure either." Clearly, Cyrus didn't want to continue the topic.

Roland was sure that Cyrus knew who the Deep Sea Giant Demon was.

He didn't rush to ask further but waited until Cyrus took a big gulp of the fruit wine to hide his feelings, then suddenly asked:

"Is it Sea Emperor Poseidon?"

"Yes, no, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Cyrus, choked by the wine, turned completely red, coughing fiercely but still desperately denying it.

Their gazes met, and sparks flew between them.

Clearly, the giant demon from the prophecy poem was indeed the Sea Emperor himself.

What caused the protector of the ocean to become a Deep Sea Giant Demon? Roland was quite curious.
