Watch Island, in essence, is a section of the Strait Mountains that emerge from the sea.

If it weren't for the fact that it was located right in the largest gap in the East and West Narrow Seas, it would not have been anything special at all compared to the other peaks of the Strait Mountains.

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

The area of this island is not small, and Xia Duo roughly estimated that the relatively flat northeast area alone is several square kilometers.

But apart from the mage tower on the southwest cliff face, and a few fishing grounds to the north, there are hardly any traces of artificiality on the entire island.

As the Overwatch Island in sight drew closer, Captain Bill of the Far Away handed over the piloting task to the first mate, and he himself came to Xia Duo to make a final report:

"My lord, the Far Away will stop at the Naese Fishing Ground in the northeast of Watch Island, where you and your wife can disembark."

"And you're going to continue to Hubble Harbor after that?"

"Yes, the Naiser Fishery does not provide supply services to the outside world, and even if it weren't for the purpose of the adult's visit to Watch Island, ordinary boats would be forbidden to go there."

Hearing this, Xia Duo immediately frowned, he asked Captain Bill to wait first, and then privately summoned Nia: "Your teacher said that he would give you Watch Island, did you say what to do with the fishing grounds?" ”

"The teacher only said that I should take over the watchtower as soon as possible, and then go to the Severant Council to update the information on the ownership of the island, and I didn't mention anything else, are you worried about the fishing grounds?"

Shado didn't answer, he knew that the princess had given Nya the Watch Island, not just an island, but the watchtower on the island to you.

Even a mage tower can be sent, so how can there be any conspiracy in the fishing grounds!

But the princess won't, it doesn't mean that others won't, now the princess has ascended to the gods, and 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 and receive the island, once the princess incarnation disappears, the people in the Seven Towers may not start from the fishing ground and move the island's careful thoughts.

Although this is extremely unlikely, it has to be guarded against.

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

Chardo then ordered Captain Bill: "Let the Far Away pass the edge of the island without slowing down, and don't forget that we are spellcasters." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Captain Bill answered, and quickly left the bow.

……

Soon, Xia Duo felt that the "Far Side" had stopped slowing down and began to accelerate continuously, and after a few minutes, the Watch Island was already close at hand.

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

"Hmm."

Nia activated the levitation spell on her robes, and Shado grabbed her by the waist and leapt off the deck, shook off the ship, and flew fast towards the island at a height close to the sea.

The first stop of the two of them was the fishing ground by the sea, but when they arrived here, Xia Duo laughed at himself quite embarrassedly: "It seems that my previous worries were completely superfluous, and your teacher was very thoughtful!" ”

There are obvious traces of a long time of unmaintained fishing on the fishing ground, and there is no fishing boat docked on the wharf, but one of them has been detained on the shore, and a large hole has been broken in the bottom of the boat, and there are signs of decay in the breach.

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

As for the temporary shelter of the fishery workers on the island, there is no sign of any life, and even the wooden barrels where the fresh water is stored are beginning to mold on the surface.

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

Perhaps when the princess made the decision to give away the island, she began to evacuate the people involved.

"Let's go to the Mage Tower!"

……

The Watchtower.

In the lounge, Senior Mage Steven was boredly flipping through the monthly Arcane Federation in his hand, and during his days at the Watchtower, he felt that his whole life had become gray.

Especially after Her Royal Highness the Princess evacuated all the other members of the watchtower, leaving him alone, such days were even more boring.

He couldn't find any entertainment other than the latest Arcane Federation monthly magazine in his hand, and if it weren't for the occasional spell chat with his friends over Severton, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the loneliness, and sneak out to Hubble Harbor to squeeze into the same filthy tavern with the mud-legged men for a few cheap loose ales that clearly outweighed the sourness.

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

At this moment, the watchtower control scepter that he had casually placed on the side of the table suddenly "flashed", and at the same time, a shrill alarm sounded in the common room.

If it were the past, Steven would definitely have jumped up and cursed a few words at this time, then turned off the siren, deliberately delayed for a while, and then went to open the door, but now-

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

Subsequently, he seemed to notice his lazy image at the moment, and it was not a good choice to receive visitors in such a posture.

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

……

At the same time, outside the watchtower.

After triggering the watchtower's visit alarm, Nia took a few steps back from Xia Duo and waited quietly, "Xia Duo, did you think this handover would go smoothly?" ”

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

However, when Niya said this, Xia Duo also raised a trace of vigilance in his heart, sometimes no matter how well arranged from above, when it comes to the implementation below, there will always be more or less distorted.

He carefully looked at the mage tower, which was taller than the Tower of Time, and wondered if he would be able to leave here safely with Nia in case of an accident.

If it was outside the Mage Tower, it shouldn't be difficult, just from the results he observed, this Mage Tower was not as powerful as the Tower of Time, and around it, there was not even a spontaneous equilibrium field to stabilize the magic net.

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

Xia Duo has thought of many ways to dismantle this mage tower from the outside, but the premise is outside, if you enter the inside, it is difficult to say.

With that in mind, he pulled Nia back a few steps back.
