Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1059 Arriving at Watch Island

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

If it weren't for its location at the biggest gap between the east and west narrow seas, there would be nothing special about it compared to 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, and the "Yuanfang" sailed from the east, and Xia Duo could see the almost bare surface of the island from a distance.

The area of ​​this island is not small. According to Xia Duo's rough estimate, the relatively flat northeast area alone covers several square kilometers.

But apart from 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 Watch Island in the field of vision got closer and closer, Captain Bill of the "Distant" handed over the driving task to the first mate, and he himself came to Xia Duo to make a final report:

"My lord, the 'Distant' will berth at the Nether Fishing Ground in the northeast of Watch Island later, and you and your wife can disembark there."

"Then you will continue to Harbor Harbor?"

"Yes, Nether Fishing Ground does not provide external supply services. Even if the purpose of your trip is not the Shouwang Island, ordinary ships will be prohibited from going there."

Hearing this, Xia Duo immediately frowned. He asked Captain Bill to wait first, and then privately sent a message to Niya: "Your teacher said that you will give Shouwang Island to you. Did you say anything about the fishing ground?"

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

Xia Duo didn't answer. He knew that the princess gave Niya the Watchtower Island, not just an island, but also the watchtower on the island to Nya.

Even a mage tower can be given away, so how can there be any conspiracy in the fishing ground!

But the princess can't, it doesn't mean that other people can't. Now that the princess has ascended to the gods, even the family territory is 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 over to take over the island. Once the avatar of the princess disappears, the people in the Seven Towers may not be afraid to start with the fishing ground and move the island.

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

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

Then, Xia Duo ordered Captain Bill: "Let the 'Distant' not need to slow down, just pass by the edge of the island. Don't forget that we are spellcasters."

"Yes, my lord!"

Captain Bill responded and quickly left the bow.

……

Soon, Xia Duo felt that the "Yuanfang" stopped decelerating and began to accelerate continuously. After a few minutes, the Watch Island was close at hand.

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

"Ah."

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

The first stop of the two was the fishing ground by the sea, but when they got here, Xia Duo laughed at himself rather embarrassingly: "It seems that my previous worries were completely unnecessary, your teacher is very thoughtful!"

There are obvious traces of the fishing ground that have not been maintained for a long time. There is no fishing boat docked on the pier. Instead, one of them has been buckled upside down on the shore.

The door of the warehouse on the shore was open, and the few sea fish scattered at the door had already rotted and deteriorated, exposing the bones. In the warehouse, except for a few tools that were thrown on the ground in a mess, there was nothing else.

As for the temporary residence of the fish farm workers on the island, there is no sign of any life at all. Even the wooden barrels storing fresh water have begun to mold on the surface.

Everything here gave Xia Duo the first impression, as if it was the scene left after the relevant personnel and supplies of the fishing ground were hurriedly evacuated.

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

"Let's go to the Mage Tower!"

……

Watchtower.

In the lounge, the high-ranking mage Steven was boredly flipping through the monthly magazine of the Arcane Federation in his hand. During the days in the watchtower, he felt that his whole life had become gloomy.

Especially after Her Royal Highness evacuated all the other personnel in the watchtower, leaving him alone to stay alone, such days became even more boring.

Apart from the latest monthly magazine of the Arcane Federation in his hand, he could no longer find any form of entertainment. If he could not chat with his friends from Severton through spells from time to time, he was really worried that he would endure it. I couldn't help being lonely, so I sneaked to Harbor Harbor, squeezed into the same dirty dilapidated tavern with those mud legs, and had a few glasses of cheap bulk ale whose sour taste obviously overwhelmed the taste of the wine.

Thinking of such a scene, Steven couldn't help shivering.

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

If it was the past, Steven would definitely jump up and curse at this time, then turn off the siren, delay deliberately for a while, and then open the door, but now——

Steven also jumped up from the seat with a snap, but this time he cursed after jumping up, but shouted excitedly, "It's finally here!"

Afterwards, he seemed to have noticed his lazy image at the moment, and it was not a good choice to receive visitors with such a posture.

Steven rubbed his cheeks violently, combed his slightly messy hair neatly, straightened his robes again, squeezed out a kind but not obsequious smile, and left the lounge.

……

At the same time, outside the watchtower.

After Niya triggered the watch tower's visitor alarm, she and Xia Duo took a few steps back and waited quietly, "Xia Duo, do you think this handover will go smoothly?"

When things came to an end, Xia Duo didn't worry anymore, but Niya herself became worried.

However, when Niya said this, Xia Duo also became vigilant. Sometimes, no matter how well the higher-level arrangements were made, when it comes to specific implementation, there will always be more or less out of shape.

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. From what he observed, this Mage Tower is not as powerful as the Tower of Time, and there is no spontaneous formation around it to stabilize the magic net. Balance field.

This mage tower is more like a large magic item than a real 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 outside, if it goes inside, it will be difficult to say.

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