Asahi Island is about fifty kilometers away from Wanggui Town. Wanggui Town itself is dozens of kilometers away from the sea, and the island is some distance away from the beach.
Asahi Island belongs to Wanggui Town, but precisely because of this relatively long distance, if there is no personnel to manage this island, it is actually no different from an abandoned desert island.
After leaving the lakeside teahouse, Mo Fan, Lingling, Zhao Manyan, and Jiang Shaoxu went to the deserted coast. There was no port in Wanggui Town, and there was only one river that flowed into the ocean from Wanggui Town. They followed this river. The river reached the seaside and found that there was actually no beach here, but a sea cliff with a certain height.
This sea cliff can be said to have formed a natural dam, blocking the seawater that would otherwise creep up. Therefore, Wanggui Town has become a town that is relatively less threatened by sea level rise.
The sea water is inaccessible, so those sea monsters who like moisture will not come here to cause trouble.
"There is a cliff tower there." Lingling pointed to the bulge of the sea cliff and said.
"Let's go and have a look."
The four of them walked towards the cliff tower. On the way, they met two members of the Tribunal who were patrolling here. They were lighting cigarettes and looking relatively casual. After casually questioning the four of them, they continued to chat. Some gossip went in the other direction, and Mo Fan also heard them scolding someone from Yata.
When I walked into the cliff tower, I thought that this cliff tower should also be abandoned, but when I walked into the door, I found that it had been cleaned very clean.
The cliff tower is made of stones. The outside stones have been bleached white by the sun. You can see it clearly at night, and it obviously has some age.
"There seems to be someone living here, and there are clothes hanging next to it." Zhao Manyan pointed to the two dead trees next to him.
"No need to act like it," Mo Fan said.
After saying this, a tall figure gradually emerged from the dim cliff tower.
This man's face slowly became clear. It was a face that had gone through many vicissitudes of life, with black age spots dotted on his brown skin. A pair of bright eyes stared at these uninvited guests, with a look of vigilance blooming from his pupils. The light showed that he was no ordinary tower keeper.
This middle-aged and elderly man is actually a bit hunchbacked, but even so, he is more than half a head taller than the two men, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, which shows how tall this tower guard was when he was young!
"Children, please don't come here to play. If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, you will be picked up and disemboweled by monsters!" The tower guard said calmly after seeing clearly that the visitors were several young people.
"Uncle, are you the border guard here?" Mo Fan asked.
"Ask if you know. Hurry back to the town. The recent sea is not peaceful." The tower guard said.
The tower guard should be a veteran, he is still wearing an old military uniform.
"We just came here to learn about the situation on Asahi Island. You must have been here for many years. How many featherless birds are there on Asahi Island?" Mo Fan then asked.
"Hurry up, hurry up, we don't need you nosy people here." The tower guard said impatiently.
"Uncle, do you know about totems?" Mo Fan asked again.
…
The tower guard had no intention of communicating and sent Mo Fan and others away directly.
The few people gained nothing and were walking aimlessly on the edge of the sea cliff. Jiang Shaoxu recalled Mo Fan's last question and couldn't help but said: "Mo Fan, do you think the totem is just cabbage on the street? Whatever If you catch someone and ask them, you will know??”
Mo Fan scratched his head and explained awkwardly: "Generally TV dramas, games, and movies are all arranged like this. The old man who seems to have a weird temper and lives in an abandoned place is most likely watching something. , I thought about it carefully, there are traces of totem here, maybe the veteran is guarding the totem, so I went straight to the point and asked."
"..." Lingling, Zhao Manyan, and Jiang Shaoxu were speechless for a moment. A neurotic has a broad mind, and he must be like Mo Fan.
"It's better to conduct on-site inspections. There's no point in wandering around here." Zhao Manyan said.
This time he came for the totem he needed, so Zhao Manyan was naturally extra attentive and summoned the pair of golden wind-drawing wings. He roughly determined the direction of Asahi Island.
"I'll go over to investigate. You guys are waiting for my news here." Zhao Manyan said.
More than twenty kilometers is not too far for those who can fly. Zhao Manyan flapped his golden wings and jumped into the dark sky. His silhouette could be vaguely seen flying by on the calm sea. He was looking at Mo Fan and others. Fading away under his eyes.
Watching Zhao Manyan fly towards Asahi Island, Mo Fan couldn't help but sigh: "This is the first time I have seen Zhao Manyan take the initiative to do something."
"He is probably stimulated." Lingling said.
…
There was only a trace of silver in the dark sky, probably right behind Zhao Manyan. In this kind of night with little moonlight and starlight, the ocean and the sky were densely packed together. If it weren't for the constant fluctuations of the sea water, making a splashing sound, Can't tell them apart at all.
In the ocean and sky, the most troublesome thing is not the monotony of this vastness, but the problem of direction.
The moon and clouds cannot be used as reference objects because they both move. It is impossible to walk in a straight line in such an environment. In many cases, it is no different from walking in a straight line with your eyes closed. As you walk, you don’t know where it is going. It's beyond cloud nine.
More than 20 kilometers away, this is a somewhat remote island. Wanggui Town itself is located in a remote coastal area. No matter how far the island is, it is almost isolated from the world. Coastal ships will not pass through this type of sea area.
Zhao Manyan's flying speed is not very fast. He can't even compare with a helicopter. The speed of his magical wing equipment is far inferior to those of the Wind Mage's Wind Wings. The Wind Wings Mage can use the airflow and control of the wind to make the speed as fast as Surpassing most flying tools.
Wing magic equipment consumes magic energy. Just when Zhao Manyan felt that he was flying in the wrong direction, an irregular island appeared on the thick sea.
The island is more than ten kilometers in diameter, with lush and stacked plants growing on it. The highest part of the island is close to the mountains on the mainland, and the lowest part is a tooth-shaped beach.
Zhao Manyan could only see one side of the island. The island was relatively large, and since he wasn't flying very high, that was all he could see.
Asahi Island is very quiet. It looks like a desert island with dense vegetation. It doesn't look like it is populated by a group of wild and domesticated creatures. Zhao Manyan continues to fly forward without paying much attention, and suddenly hears the sea level beneath him boiling inexplicably. Get up and splash!
