Section 41: Landing on Magnetic Island

The horizon gradually began to brim with masses of dark shadow.

"I see it!"

"The Magnetic Island Group spotted!"

The lookout's cry echoed throughout the Justice.

The Justice, the Little Bird, and the Rapids had been sailing from New Moon Port for a week now. En route, they had made a stop at Bagen Port where they recruited over two hundred sailors, fully replenishing their crew.

The Dragon-man youth pushed open the captain's cabin door and stood by the railing, his gaze piercing into the distance.

Simultaneously, Zong Ge aboard the Little Bird and a figure clad in grey on the Rapids raised their monocular telescopes.

As the distance closed, the Magnetic Island Group loomed into clearer view.

It was a desolate place, covered in pitch-black rocks with scarcely any vegetation.

The terrain on the islands was steep and rugged, with strangely shaped peaks and hills, and the air significantly hotter than at sea.
