Arcane Lord

Watch Island is essentially a section of the Straits Mountains that protrudes from the sea in this area.

If it weren't for the fact that it was located right at the largest gap between the East and West Narrow Seas, there would be nothing special about it compared with other peaks in the Channel Mountains.

The terrain of the island is high in the south and low in the north, high in the west and low in the east. The "Yuanfang" sailed from the east, and Xia Duo saw the almost bare surface of the island from a distance.

The island is quite large. Xia Duo roughly estimated that the relatively flat northeastern area alone covers several square kilometers.

But except for the mage tower on the southwest cliff and a few fishing grounds in the north, there are almost no artificial traces on the entire island.

As the Watch Island in the field of vision got closer and closer, Captain Bill of the "Yuanyuan" handed over the driving task to the first mate, and he himself came to Shado in person to make the final report:

"Sir, the 'Yuanyuan' will dock at the Nese fishing ground in the northeast of Watch Island later. You and your wife can disembark there."

"Then you will continue to Harbor Harbor?"

"Yes, Nese Fishing Ground does not provide supply services to the outside world. Even if the purpose of your trip is not Watching Island, ordinary ships will be prohibited from going there."

Hearing this, Shado frowned immediately. He asked Captain Bill to wait, and then privately sent a message to Niya: "Your teacher said that Watch Island will be given to you. Did he say what to do with the fishing ground?"

"The teacher only asked me to take over the watchtower as soon as possible and then go to the Sevington Council to update the island ownership information. He didn't mention anything else. Are you worried about problems with the fishery?"

Xia Duo didn't answer. He knew that the princess gave Watch Island to Niya. She didn't just give an island, but also gave the watch tower on the island to you Niya.

If you can even give away a mage tower, how can you create any conspiracy in the fishing ground!

But the princess can't do it, which doesn't mean that others can't. Now that the princess has ascended to the gods, even the family territory has been entrusted to the Seven Towers, which shows that she is destined not to stay in the mortal world for long.

This can also be seen from her urging Niya to come and take over the island. Once the princess's incarnation disappears, the people in the Seven Towers may not be tempted to start with the fishing grounds and tamper with the island.

Although the possibility of this happening is extremely small, it must be guarded against.

"Anyway, let's go to the island to see it first!"

Then, Shado ordered Captain Bill: "Let the 'Yuanyuan' don't need to slow down and just pass by the edge of the island. Don't forget that we are spell casters."

"Yes, sir!"

Captain Bill responded and quickly left the bow of the ship.

…

Soon, Xia Duo felt that the "Yuanyuan" stopped decelerating and began to accelerate. A few minutes later, Watch Island was close at hand.

"Niya, let's go to the island!"

"Um."

Niya activated the floating spell on her robe, while Shado held her waist, jumped off the deck in the clouds, threw off the ship, and flew quickly towards the island at a height close to the sea.

The first stop for the two of them was the fishing ground by the sea, but when they got here, Xia Duo laughed at himself in embarrassment: "It seems that my previous worries were completely unnecessary. Your teacher has been very considerate!"

There are obvious signs that the fishery has not been maintained for a long time. There is no fishing boat docked at the pier. Instead, there is a fishing boat that has been buckled on the shore. There is a big hole in the bottom of the boat, and there are signs of decay in the hole.

The door of the warehouse on the shore was open. The few sea fish scattered at the door had long since rotted and deteriorated, exposing the bones. Inside the warehouse, except for a few tools thrown messily on the ground, there was nothing else.

As for the temporary residence of the fishery workers on the island, there is no sign of any life at all. Even the wooden barrels where fresh water is stored have begun to grow moldy on the surface.

The first impression that everything here left on Xia Duo was like a scene left after the personnel and materials related to the fishery were hurriedly evacuated.

Perhaps when the princess made the decision to gift the island, she started to evacuate the relevant personnel.

"Let's go to the Mage Tower!"

…

Watchtower.

In the lounge, Senior Mage Steven was flipping through the monthly magazine of the Arcane Federation in his hand with boredom. During his days in the Watchtower, he felt that his entire life had become gray.

Especially after Her Royal Highness the Princess evacuated all other personnel in the watch tower, leaving him alone, such days became even more boring.

Apart from the latest monthly magazine of the Austrian Law Federation in his hand, he could no longer find any entertainment. If he could not chat with his friends in Severton through magic from time to time, he was really worried that he would endure it. Unable to stand the loneliness, I sneaked to Harbor Harbor and crowded into the same dirty tavern with those mud-legged people to have a few glasses of cheap bulk ale whose sour taste obviously overshadowed the taste of alcohol.

Steven couldn't help but shudder when he thought of that scene.

At this moment, the watchtower control scepter he placed casually on the table suddenly "flashed", and at the same time, a piercing alarm sounded in the lounge.

If it had been in the past, Steven would have definitely jumped up and cursed a few words at this time, then turned off the alarm, deliberately delayed for a while, and then opened the door again, but now -

Steven also jumped up from his chair, but this time he cursed after jumping up. Instead, he shouted excitedly, "It's finally here!"

Then, he seemed to notice his lazy appearance at the moment, and it was not a good choice to receive visitors in this manner.

Steven rubbed his cheeks violently, combed his slightly messy hair, straightened his robe, forced out a kind but not flattering smile, and then left the lounge.

…

At the same time, outside the watchtower.

After Niya triggered the visitor alarm in the watchtower, she and Sha Duo took a few steps back and waited quietly, "Xia Duo, do you think this handover will be smooth?"

When things came to an end, Xia Duo was no longer worried, but Niya herself became worried.

However, what Niya said made Xia Duo feel a little wary. Sometimes, no matter how well arranged it is from above, when it comes to execution below, something will always go wrong.

He carefully looked at the mage tower, which was taller than the Tower of Time, and wondered whether he could take Niya out of here safely in case of an accident.

If it is outside the Mage Tower, it should not be difficult. Judging from the results of his observations, this Mage Tower is not as powerful as the Tower of Time. There is not even a spontaneous formation around it to stabilize the magic network. Balance the field.

This mage tower is more like a large magic item than a true strategic fortress.

Xia Duo has already thought of many ways to disintegrate this mage tower from the outside, but the premise is that it is from the outside. If it goes inside, it will be difficult to say.

Thinking this, he pulled Niya back a few steps again.
