On the boundless blue sea, the ship sailed through the waves. After chatting with the butler, Fort, Levi learned that this wizard ship was called the Moon Ship. It was a gift from Dinos’ father, Lyon, to Dinos for his coming-of-age ceremony.

This was a small civilian wizard ship developed by the Seven Waters Steeple, especially for some low-level wizard organizations in the Outer Circle Area who were not that well-off. Still, the price of one ship was as high as 30,000 Aether Stones.

Forgive Levi for not being knowledgeable enough.

“Damn it, damn capitalists.” Levi was speechless.

Thirty thousand Aether Stones!

It had been more than ten years since he had come to this wizard world, and he had worked hard with no complaint while being extremely frugal, but up until now, he had only earned about 20,000 Aether Stones.

On top of that, he was a very rich first-circle wizard. Many new second-circle wizards might not even be as rich as him.

Yet, for Dinos, this rich kid, a ship was only a coming-of-age gift.

Damn it, he didn’t expect the gap between the rich and the poor in the Wizard World to be so huge.

“They’re both third -circle organizations in the Outer Circle Area, but the Gray

Tower, a newly advanced third-circle organization, is far inferior to the Jostar Family, an old third-circle organization. Even the Whale Song Island pales in comparison to the Jostar Family,” Levi sighed in his heart.

All in all, because the Yellow Earth Continent was rich in resources, Area 7 was one of the strongest regions in the Outer Circle’s sea region of the Endless Sea. Its overall strength could be ranked in the top five.

Moreover, the Jostar Family that Dinos belonged to was one of the three biggest families in the Yellow Earth Continent. Their foundation was so deep that it was not something that the wizard organizations in Area 9 could compare to.

After the great battle, Dinos and the butler were busy instructing the survivors to clean up the mess and the deck. All kinds of cantrips were used to clean and tidy up the ship. Some technicians were checking if the Moon Ship was damaged.

Looking at the mess, Dinos sighed. “Uncle Fort, how are the losses this time?”

Butler Fort said softly, “Young Master, 42 sailors died, including 30 mortals and 12 apprentice wizards, while 57 have been injured. Other than the casualties, the property losses are not very big. It’s all thanks to Sir Levi who managed to kill the dark wizard leader in time and helped us recover a lot of our losses.”

‘ Damn these dark wizards.” Dinos’ face was cold. “When I went out to sea, I promised these sailors that I would lead them back safely to reunite with their families. Now, I have gone back on my word. Fort, after we get back, prepare a pension for the families of the victims. If there are no family members, bury these poor people. The Jostar Family will pay their debts.”

“Young Master, you don’t have to blame yourself. There were too many accidents on this journey. Who would have thought that we would encounter a rare great hurricane?”Ford sighed.

Levi’s heart skipped a beat.

“A great hurricane? No wonder they didn’t take the safe sea route and travel through this dangerous uninhabited sea area.”

The so-called great hurricane was one of the three major natural disasters of the Endless Sea, along with the sea beast tide and the mirage.

There was not much to explain about the sea monster tide. It basically erupted once in a while. Every five hundred years, a huge tide that swept across the Endless Sea would appear. Levi had just experienced it. In general, although the sea monster tide covered a wide area and was quite frequent, its death rate was not very high since the wizards had already figured out the pattern of its occurrence and could make preparations in advance.

The great hurricane was a superstorm that would suddenly appear in random places of the Endless Sea. It usually appeared without any warning and was very random. Sometimes, it might not appear once in a hundred years in the entire Endless Sea. Sometimes, it would appear continuously. In short, there was no pattern.

According to the classification of the Star Tower, the great hurricanes could be divided into nine levels according to the degree of danger. Even the weakest level one great hurricane was far more dangerous than the storms on the mortal sea. If it were not for the fact that the Jostar Family’s wizard ship, a mortal ship would have long been destroyed by the gale.

The danger of the great hurricanes increased sharply from level 3 onwards. Even if an official wizard was accidentally caught in a great hurricane, the terrifying storm could tear through his magic defense and blow him into a bloody mist.

If it was the legendary level 9 great hurricane, no one other than high-level wizards would be able to escape. This was because high-level wizards had already formed their primordial souls, allowing them to escape at any time through the primordial souls. That being said, if a high-level wizard stayed in a level 9 great hurricane area for a long time, their primordial soul would be blown out and dissipated too.

That was why even the wizards with great powers called it a calamity.

There were many different opinions on the cause of the great hurricane. There was no unified conclusion in the Wizard World. Some said that it was caused by the mutation of the intersection between the Realm of Divine Wind and the Realm of Azure Cloud where the Storm School of Thought was located. Some said that it was caused by the astral world’s Lord of Storm. Some even said that the hurricanes came from other unknown Shadow Realms or Multidimensional Planes.

Lastly, the mirage was the most mysterious and strange disaster because the wizard civilization had not studied it much at this stage. The mirage was the natural disaster that appeared the least frequently. It was a phenomenon that even wizards could not explain. Its appearance was also without warning and

had no patterns to follow..
