For the ordinary ships on the sea, the area where Dream Island is located simply doesn't exist; it is imperceptible.

Only wizards like Staven and Dino from Dream Island know how to enter it.

Herag learned from Staven that it would take about half a month to reach Dream Island.

In terms of time, Dream Island is not too far from the West Coast, as ships of this era are not particularly fast.

During the voyage, Herag came alone to the deck, set up a deck chair, and lay down, enjoying the sea breeze.

Here, with him on deck, no one dared to come over, as everyone knew he was a wizard even Staven respected.

Those sailors were all Staven's subordinates and used to speak loudly on the deck, singing coarse songs.

But now, all was silent; no one dared to disturb the peace of the gentleman on deck.

As for the wizard apprentices, none dared to bother Herag, except for Andri.

The four noble children were very aware of what a wizard represented, so they were in awe of Herag, not daring to approach.

But Andri had no concept of wizards; he didn't even know what he was doing there.

Only because he had interacted with Herag before, he would occasionally come to the deck to chat with Herag and watch the toads.

This scene made the four noble children curious about Andri's identity, as he could converse so freely with the wizard lord.

Life at sea was very calm, with nothing happening in the first week, the weather was serene.

Until the night of the eighth day, the bright moon hung high, its light spilling down, illuminating a large swath of sea.

At this time, Herag, who was originally meditating in the sea breeze on deck, suddenly opened his eyes.

Sounds soon came from behind, and Staven came out, looking at the sea ahead with a heavy expression.

The ship gradually slowed to a stop, clearly on Staven's orders.

Herag stood up, walked to the frontmost part of the deck, and looked out over the sea.

Standing at the bow, as the sea breeze blew, his robe billowed and fluttered.

After the ship stopped, several wizard apprentices in the cabin quickly detected the abnormality, and the four noble children huddled together, discussing in low voices.

Although they were curious about what was happening outside, none dared to go out to see.

After a brief discussion, they went to the fourth level of the cabin and knocked on the door of a freckled-faced little girl.

"What... what do you want?" The little girl nervously hid her head behind the door, looking timidly at the people in front of her.

"You, go to the deck and see what's happening outside, then come back and tell us." The leader was a blond boy named Jansen, rumored to be the son of a great noble of the Doris Kingdom.

"I..." The little girl instinctively wanted to refuse; she was scared but even more afraid of the people in front of her.

"I told you to go, so go!" Jansen shouted.

Seeing the little girl still not moving, Jansen became somewhat irritated and angrily said, "A commoner dares to defy my orders! I..."

"What are you all doing!" The door behind the four opened, and Andri came out and asked.

He seemed a bit scared, but his expression was firm, clenching his fists as if to encourage himself.

Jansen frowned when he saw him, not wanting to clash with Andri.

Because he'd seen Andri getting along well with the wizard lord on the deck, Jansen was clear about his position, knowing he couldn't afford to provoke a wizard.

From a young age, he was aware of the power and prestige of wizards; even nobles who usually held prestige were nothing in front of wizards.

Even if his father were here, he'd have to kneel at a wizard's command.

So, seeing Andri being so close with the wizard, Jansen didn't dare to provoke him and only dared to seek out the little girl for information.

"This has nothing to do with you," Jansen said.

Andri clasped his fists tighter, mustering the courage to say, "Renee is my friend."

Hearing this, Jansen looked displeased but didn't dare say more, and he left this layer of the cabin with a cold face.

Andri, seeing them leave, looked a bit flustered.

In fact, he had braced himself for a beating, but he didn't expect the other party to just leave like that.

When did I become so powerful? Andri was a bit dumbfounded.

"Thank you, Andri." After those people left, Renee dared to open her door fully, came out to thank him, glanced at Andri, then quickly lowered her head, her face slightly reddening.

Andri, seeing this, nervously scratched the back of his head, saying, "No... no problem."

...

No one paid attention to the commotion below deck; Herag and Staven stood at the bow, looking ahead.

The previously calm sea ahead suddenly showed some disturbance, as if something was about to emerge from below the surface.

Soon, several humanoid creatures emerged, showing half of their bodies, looking at Herag and Staven at the bow.

These humanoid creatures had human-like facial features and hands, but near their chins, they had gills like fish, their hands resembling webbed appendages of aquatic animals.

"It's the Sea Race." Herag immediately recognized this kind of creature.

Sea Race numbers are vast, with numerous specific classifications, spread across various places in the Wizard Plane's seas, forming a significant force.

If wizards are the dominators of the land, then the Sea Race are the dominators beyond the land.

Herag recalled historical records he'd read, where wizards had wars with the Sea Race, not just once.

The wars between the two had mixed outcomes, ultimately resulting in agreements of non-aggression.

From the start, the Sea Race held absolute superiority in these wars.

Because they lived in the seas, which are vast, far greater in area than the land.

Though wizards were powerful, they found it hard to inflict effective damage to the overall strength of the Sea Race.

Some wizards even considered using curses or poisons to pollute large sea areas directly.

But this approach also risked harming themselves and creating uncontrollable situations, so it was eventually dismissed.

There had been no conflicts for many years now, even though the overall power of wizards had significantly declined, the Sea Race had not launched any real wars.

To them, the land held no allure; as long as wizards didn't interfere with their lives, peace could remain.

So when Herag and Staven saw these Sea Race emerge, blocking their path, they couldn't help but wonder what the Sea Race wanted.

Shenlan's environmental scan was in progress; Herag checked the surrounding waters and found no large Sea Race forces, just three indistinct presences hidden beneath the water, guarding the Sea Race above, seemingly as bodyguards.
