Inside the cabin, the upper two levels were already filled with apprentices, and they only found a room on the third level. They agreed to meet on the deck in the evening. A few of them found a room to settle down.
The cabin was not large, less than ten square meters. With a bed and a table inside, there wasn't much space left. However, it was clean, tidy, and free of any unpleasant odors.
The only thing that puzzled Daniel was that there was a piece of transparent Crystal Glass embedded in one wall near the ship's hull, through which he could see the surface of the sea. After comparing a series of parameters, Daniel was astonished to discover that the ship's speed reached an incredible four knots.
This was an impressive figure; in his previous life, the maximum speed of sailing ships was only about twenty knots, and those were specialized fast ships with significant drawbacks in other areas. The Flame Throne could achieve such high speeds; he wondered what powered it.
In the evening, a group of people met on the deck. Daniel glanced around and saw at least four or five hundred people on deck. It seemed that this ship did not simply pick up passengers from the Okto Archipelago but had made several stops to gather so many people.
Everyone who boarded the ship was here except for Randolph and Regina.
Furnal knew he was looking for the two and sighed, "Stop looking; they're not here. I asked around, and they are staying in the topmost cabin right next to the instructor."
Caroline asked anxiously, "Did you find out when the academy will let us learn the Meditation Method? As a Wizard Apprentice, shouldn't we start learning the Meditation Method as early as possible?"
Furnal shook his head. "It seems we have to wait until we reach the academy. I inquired a bit, and it will take at least four months to get from here to the academy. I really don't know what the academy is thinking.
However, the good news is that there is a library on board. If we have time, we can go check it out. The books there are all free."
Hearing this, the group headed to the library together. The library was not large but had quite a few books; shelves around were filled with books, and many people were inside browsing. When they entered, no one paid them any attention.
Daniel casually picked up a book titled Wizard Introduction and looked around to see covers like A Brief History of the Continent, Introduction to the Other Continent, Gloria's Travelogue, and similar titles.
These were all introductions to wizards. However, there wasn't much practical use in them.
For over two months, they had been sailing smoothly, and Daniel, feeling bored, was practicing his knight training on the deck. Caroline and the others were savoring red wine, not taking Daniel's efforts seriously.
Even the lowest-level Wizard Apprentice was stronger than a Great Knight, so why would they engage in strenuous knight training?
Suddenly, Daniel stopped and looked into the distance where dark clouds gathered, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled, almost obscuring half the sky, creating an oppressive atmosphere as it surged toward them.
Furnal asked, “Daniel, what’s happening?”
He knew that Daniel trained very hard and wouldn’t stop for no reason.
A hint of fear flashed in Daniel's eyes. “It’s a Tornado. Quick, we need to get back to the cabin.”
Through the chip's analysis, Daniel realized that this massive storm would soon form a Tornado, a super Tornado with wind speeds reaching up to twelve on the Beaufort scale.
If it appeared on land, its destructive power would be immense, capable of uprooting trees and reducing houses to mere toys under its wrath. At sea, it could instantly destroy Vessels.
He needed to warn the captain. After taking just a couple of steps, Daniel paused. He could see it himself; those who were knights and Great Knights among the crew should be able to see it too.
He hadn’t forgotten that there was even a Formal Wizard on board; how could they not know a hurricane was approaching? This was a perfect opportunity to see how they would face the hurricane.
As time passed, the connecting Tornado swept closer. Even from a distance, it had already stirred up waves over three feet high, crashing against the ship with a thunderous roar.
The fierce wind battered against him, making his clothes flap loudly and causing pain as it whipped against his skin.
Everyone noticed the approaching Tornado. In the face of such a colossal disaster, humanity seemed so insignificant. Some of the more timid apprentices even turned pale with fear.
That is the direction they are heading! At such a distance, the power is already so great; how can we resist when they get closer?
Furnal found it strange. "At this point, why hasn't the mentor appeared? Are we just supposed to watch as the wind sweeps us away? Even if we survive, how many of us will be left?"
Daniel also felt it was odd. Faced with the powerful Tornado, they should be trying to find a way to evade it. Even if they couldn't avoid it, they should at least try to minimize the damage.
But why was there no movement on the ship until now? The crew showed no signs of panic.
Unless they didn't take the Tornado seriously at all and had a way to withstand its damage. How did they manage that? A glimmer of excitement flashed in Daniel's eyes as he anticipated the methods of the Wizarding World.
After a long absence, Cecil stepped forward and shouted, "All apprentices return to the ship! Today, you will witness the power of a wizard."
As he spoke, the sails hanging on the ship began to lower slowly as if operated by someone. The ropes moved without wind, like giant serpents slithering around, securing everything on the deck.
This scene was astonishing. Especially for Daniel, who didn't expect a wizard to respond in this way.
Once Daniel and the others returned to the cabin, the door slammed shut with a bang.
Suddenly, everyone felt the bow of the ship sink, and it tilted sharply, nearly causing them to fall. They each grabbed onto something nearby and took a moment to regain their balance.
Daniel remembered something and exclaimed in a low voice, "Go back to Cabin."
Although several people didn't understand what he meant, they followed him back to their respective Cabin, where surprised shouts soon echoed from inside.
Daniel was equally startled. On one side near the ship's wall was a piece of transparent Crystal Glass embedded in it. He hadn't known what it was for until now; outside, scenes from beneath the sea were appearing.
The enormous ship had already submerged into the depths of the sea. However, it was understandable considering how mysterious wizards are; they cannot be comprehended with ordinary thoughts. The Vessels they built could dive underwater, which was quite normal. Otherwise, how could the Vessels advance against the storm?
Only in the dark depths of the sea, where the Tornado could not reach, could they move forward safely. Otherwise, even the Ten-Thousand-Ton Giant Ship from his previous life would have been torn apart in the face of a raging Tornado.
Seeing the scene outside, Daniel was astonished. He had seen the seabed before, whether through beautiful underwater images online or visits to aquariums, but he had never encountered such captivating beauty.
Through the warm and clear seawater, he could see countless corals forming an underwater "forest," diverse and colorful. The vibrant coral reefs were red, pink, green, purple, and yellow.
Their shapes were varied; some resembled peacocks spreading their tails; some looked like red plums in the snow; some were round like mushrooms; some were slender like deer antlers; some were as white as frost; some were as green as jade; and some resembled Lingzhi mushrooms… indescribable, forming a peculiar and spectacular natural art piece.
Colorful fish darted among them, sometimes dispersing into the coral clusters and sometimes forming large schools that dazzled the eyes.
A monster with a long neck and a big belly charged through, devouring fish and showcasing the cruel reality of survival of the fittest.
This was the Dragon Whale, an enormous whale that could reach over a hundred meters in length when fully grown. Although this Dragon Whale was not that large, it still measured over fifty meters long, making it a colossal creature.
Sensing danger, the fish school suddenly scattered to escape, leaving only the sluggish Dragon Whale behind. Above the water's surface, the Tornado seemed to have broken through a barrier and plunged into the depths of the sea, creating a massive whirlpool. The gigantic Dragon Whale had no chance to resist and was sucked into it, disappearing without a trace.
Even the Flame Throne was affected; the entire Vessels creaked ominously, at risk of being pulled in at any moment. At that point, even an iron giant ship would be doomed to disintegration.
Daniel felt a surge of panic; he was still young and did not want to die now. Having crossed over once was already a stroke of luck; he did not believe he could cross over a second time.
"Great Three Pure Ones, God, Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Primordial Lord, please save me."
Daniel prayed frantically when suddenly he felt a violent tremor in the ship's body. Just as he thought his end was near, he saw objects resembling oars appearing on both sides of the Flame Throne—rows of at least dozens—swiftly moving to propel the Vessels away from the whirlpool.
Daniel stared in astonishment; these things had appeared suddenly, without any warning, as if they had always been growing above. Moreover, they moved swiftly and naturally, unlike the stiff motion of oars, resembling the lively movement of fish fins.
Furnal rushed in, pointing at the glass. "Daniel, look outside! What is that?"
"That's the seabed; the Vessels have sunk into the ocean."
Furnal was very frightened. "What should we do? Are we going to drown?"
"Don't worry, this is a ship modified by magic. As long as we pass through the Storm Zone, the Vessels will rise to the surface."
Furnal nodded, still looking pale. He had only lived on land before; how could he have imagined that a ship could actually dive underwater? Especially seeing the devastation caused by the Tornado, even the massive Dragon Whale could be swept up. It would be unnatural not to be afraid.
After a while, he finally adapted and called a few team members to discuss their experiences in the library.
Only a handful of the dozen or so people in the team came over, five or six in total. The others stayed hidden in the cabin, admiring the beauty of the ocean.
The Vessels tilted suddenly, and several people showed surprised expressions, thinking something was wrong. Daniel whispered, "The Vessels are rising. It seems we've passed through the Storm Zone."
Sure enough, with a loud splash, the Flame Throne leaped out from the seabed. After swaying a few times, it stabilized and moved steadily forward.
