Chapter 718: 229. Shadow of the rmaid
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 kiloter.
These unmanned magic outposts were arranged by the Charnel family, resembling tower-like buoys floating on the sea, with a height not exceeding three ters.
If an anomaly occurred sowhere, these magic outposts would spray a water jet, rushing towards that location.
The magic outposts were managed by the Charnel family’s mariti 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 ca 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 ti, 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 ford 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 fragnted 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.
No one knew what was at the center of the “tornado”, nor why the spinning continent had such a strange form.
Everyone attempting to explore deeper into the Spinning Continent would be crushed by the fast-moving floating islands.
The approximately flying speed of the floating islands was 500 kiloters per hour.
Yes, 500 kiloters per hour, this was the average speed of the outermost floating islands rotating around the axis.
Observing the spinning continent from where Noland was, it would only seem that the rotation speed of the “tornado” was slow.
Only when you approach the spinning continent can you feel the overwhelming montum of the spinning continent.
Hadley holds a telescope, examining the “tornado” in the distance as small as a thumb, and says:
“Hmm…Jarvis, we didn’t co at the right ti for this trip, there are no light columns flying out from the spinning continent. This indicates that in the near future, there is no sign that the spinning continent will throw anything at this sea area. It seems we can only try our luck in the Blue Cave.”
“No problem, I ca mainly for the Blue Cave,” Noland simply responded, throwing a deconstruction spell towards the spinning continent in the distance.
[System ssage:]
[You are about to use the Deconstruction Technique on the “weird spinning continent”.]
[It is expected to consu 800 billion energy points and reach 100% degree of deconstruction.]
Cough cough…800 billion.
Although seeing things needing “trillions” to be deconstructed, Noland was still amazed at the consumption of thousands of billions.
When he has the opportunity to crush a planet in the future, he must choose a planet to squeeze, to see what the effect of passive deconstruction is…
Hadley on the side didn’t know about Noland’s thoughts, he put away the telescope and said:
“Let’s rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, I will prepare for the yacht to dive. But we won’t go straight to the Blue Cave. I have to teach you how to adapt to the underwater environnt first, to make sure that everything is perfectly safe.”
“Alright, Hadley.” Noland walked into the guestroom:
“See you in the morning.”
“See you in the morning, Jarvis.” Hadley walked into the staircase, saying:
“I will check the middle and lower decks. You rest assuredly, I will keep nights watch.”
Noland returned to his guestroom, called the magic ssenger, checked the letter, used the chance to pet the cat for a bit, and then laid down with his clothes on.
…
…
The next morning.
Everything was ready, and Hadley formally started to prepare for the dive.
Noland watched Hadley’s operations in the control room.
Hadley gripped the joystick with his right hand, while his left hand turned into a water stream flowing along the glass pipeline on the control console.
