Chapter 718: 229. Shadow of the Mermaid

Hadley’s magic yacht was small but sailed reliably.

After sailing for five hours straight, the magic yacht reached the North of Starfall Sea.

On the sea surface here, there was a magic outpost every kilometer.

These unmanned magic outposts were arranged by the Charnel family, resembling tower-like buoys floating on the sea, with a height not exceeding three meters.

If an anomaly occurred somewhere, these magic outposts would spray a water jet, rushing towards that location.

The magic outposts were managed by the Charnel family’s maritime office, which was established on a vast deep-sea platform, and was comparable in size to a small town with hundreds of inhabitants.

Whenever a ship approached Starfall Sea, a squad of three Charnel wizards would fly out from the deep sea platform to inspect the ship’s pass.

Noland Lee had already given the money needed to buy the pass to Hadley.

The identity he used to buy the pass was created by Selena, which was a local identity unrelated to “Noland Lee Jarvis”.

To make this temporary identity seamless, Selena also brought Noland an emblem corresponding to that identity.

Even if the Charnel family took the identity information recorded on the emblem and asked about the source of the emblem, they would not be able to detect that Noland was using a false identity.

Because the emblem came from one of Selena’s own magic workshops.

She was both the investor and the sole controller of the workshop, so naturally she could cooperate with Noland to successfully pass the Charnel family’s verification.

Such thorough preparation eventually proved to be unnecessary.

The three Charnel wizards didn’t pay much attention to Noland’s identity.

They collected the fifty thousand gold coins for the pass, and then passed the pass to Noland, before leaving on their flight spell.

Hadley continued to steer the magic yacht ahead.

This time, he avoided other ships in the sea area and headed towards the sparsely populated southwest.

In his words, the subsea region where the Blue Cave was located, rarely had dragon clan treasures dropped.

The dragon clan collection in the Blue Cave was basically brought by the ocean current.

When the dragon clan collection followed the current to the Blue Cave, it was stopped by the complex terrain of the Blue Cave.

This is what formed the sight of a complex terrain filled with random collections.

After the magic yacht had sailed continuously southwest for ten hours, it stopped at a deserted sea.

From the deck, looking far to the south, you could already see part of the Spinning Continent.

It was a shattered continent that was always in a state of self-rotation.

The fragmented continental plates were held together by a mysterious and invisible power, suspended in the air in the form of countless floating islands.

From afar, the spinning continent at night looked like a huge black tornado.

All the floating isles were rotating counter-clockwise around the “tornado” axis, never resting.
