Chapter 596: 192. New Chapter
After being enveloped by the teleportation light, Noland Lee saw an array of dazzling sights before him.
He saw a starry sky made of water.
The celestial bodies, which should have been suspended in a vacuum, were now imrsed in a light blue liquid where every surface of the celestial bodies had fine bubbles and swirling whirlpools.
The celestial bodies slowly undulated and swayed within the light blue liquid.
Noland Lee, like a teor, grazed past them and dove into the white opening not far ahead.
The dazzling sights vanished, replaced by the archipelago and the sea surface.
Noland Lee fell at great speed toward the island in the center of the archipelago, aiming to dive down toward the castle building on the island.
The mont Noland Lee steps foot into the castle plaza, the teleportation ends and he regains control of his body.
The entire teleportation process was done by the Teleportation Crystal, and it lasted for only about five seconds from Noland Lee’s subjective experience.
As a consumable item, the Teleportation Crystal turned into transparent sand and gravel and disappeared with the wind after transporting the holder to the ground.
Noland Lee felt the sensation of sand and gravel slipping through his fingers and then murmured as he looked up at the night sky:
“There is really no ti difference…”
Denise Green, who had just put down her veil that had been blown up by the evening breeze, asked with puzzlent:
“What?”
“No, it’s nothing.” Noland Lee shook his head slightly and retreated his gaze from the stars under the bright moonlight.
He found it difficult to explain the concept of “ti zones and ti differences” to the locals of this world.
Because, this world didn’t have the concept of “ti zones.”
The starting point of Noland Lee’s teleportation journey was on the Blackfold Sea, between Alchemist Island and the Kashel Continent. His current position was in the Core Circle of the Suman Archipelago, approximately 9,000 kiloters east of the Blackfold Sea near the equator.
Although there was such a long distance between the two locations, no ti difference erged. It was late at night on the Blackfold Sea, and it was the sa here in the Suman Archipelago.
Not only that, but there was no “ti difference” phenonon anywhere in the whole world. The ti in all places was completely synchronized and would not change because of geographical relations—however, magic or other extraordinary factors often affected the speed of ti in certain places, thereby causing ti differences.
Therefore, in the eyes of all the people in this world, the concept of “ti zones” didn’t even exist.
Denise Green’s situation was the sa.
It was the sa for Nine-Circles Deep Sea Witch Selina Watson.
In the whole world, it was estimated that only a foreigner like Noland Lee might think of “ti zones.”
Oh, no, a few other creatures might also consider the issue of “ti zones.” That would be creatures from outer space, indigenous Star Witches in the world, and wizards with the closest relationship to the Star Witches.
These creatures that have co into contact with celestial bodies of outer space should have understood the concept of “ti difference.” After all, not every celestial being in outer space has an Inner Cosmos like the world of wizards.
In the final analysis, the absence of ti differences across the entire world was caused by the Inner Cosmos. Whether it was day or night was determined by the Star Filtering Net that made up the Inner Cosmos.
Noland Lee steadied his mind and scattered his stray thoughts.
Looking around, he took in the magnificent castle that stood on the mountain range.
His position was at the Fountain Square, just outside the main entrance of the main castle of the Hotams Deep Sea Departnt, located in the Depes Mountain Range on the main island of the Suman Archipelago’s Core Circle.
Since it was built on a mountain range, the main castle of the Deep Sea Departnt had a relatively high altitude, which Noland Lee estimated to be around 800 ters.
Standing at his position and looking out in all directions, he could see many black silhouettes on the sea surface illuminated by the silver moonlight.
So silhouettes looked like burnt pancakes, while others looked like black chimneys rising up from the sea surface. So silhouettes resembled travelers lying on their side, stretching their bodies on the soft water bed, leaving narrow, long shadows on the sea surface with undulating postures.
These silhouettes with different shapes were islands of the Suman Archipelago.
The island beneath him, with its mountain ranges, was not unique among the islands of the Suman Archipelago.
The Suman Archipelago was located near the equator with hot and humid weather, high temperatures and abundant rain throughout the year, yet it had three equatorial snow mountains.
This natural marvel made the Suman Archipelago famous throughout the world and beca an existence recorded in magic textbooks.
“Jarvis, Denise, go to the Visitor’s Area inside the Academy to rest for now. I’ll have soone take you there.” Selena finished checking the number of people teleported to this location and, after confirming that no one was left behind, began to arrange for the follow-up affairs.
She assigned a Deep-sea Wizard to guide Noland Lee and Denise Green and then led the rest of her team mbers toward the main castle.
More than half of the 300 or so islands in the Core Circle of the Suman Archipelago were controlled by the Deep Sea Branch, with the rest being controlled by the other branches of Hotams.
The Deep Sea Branch had set aside more than 20 islands controlled by them as Visitor’s Areas for temporary stay by visitors.
After signing the Appointnt Order, Noland Lee could stay regularly in the Visitor’s Area as long as he did not violate the regulations of the Deep Sea Branch and paid the rent periodically. Rent was paid annually, ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 gold coins per year. Temporary stays were free, but they could not exceed 15 days.
Wouldn’t it be a bit unseemly for the visitors to pay rent?
Looking through the courtesy of the past, it indeed seed a bit improper. However, people from outside the Core Circle of the Suman Archipelago would be more than willing to pay triple the rent to live there.
Since it was the Core Circle, all its basic services were top-notch within the Suman Archipelago.
