229. Shadow of the Mermaid

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 kilometer.

These unmanned magic outposts were arranged by the Charnel family, resembling tower-like buoys floating on the sea, with a height not exceeding three meters.

If an anomaly occurred somewhere, these magic outposts would spray a water jet, rushing towards that location.

The magic outposts were managed by the Charnel family's maritime 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.
