The traveler continues his journey by aircraft, eventually switching to flight as the terrain becomes barren. He stumbles upon a fight between a middle-aged couple and an old man with his black-clad followers. The traveler intervenes, quickly defeating the old man with a powerful magic spell. He then asks the grateful couple for help in crossing the treacherous seas to his destination.

The couple acknowledged the questions posed to them; the inquiry wasn’t unexpected. Across the vast expanse of the sea lay another continent, dotted with nations akin to their own, complete with bustling cities and perilous forbidden zones.

Uncharted territories teemed with formidable magical beasts, and every month, ships ferried travelers to and fro across the ocean.

"My Lord, allow us to provide assistance. We have connections within the shipping company and can procure tickets for you at no cost," the middle-aged man offered.

Upon hearing this, I expressed my gratitude, a sense of relief washing over me.

Swoosh!

Thus, I commenced my journey with this group, who, along the way, inquired about my origins.

I divulged that the specifics were confidential but assured them of a powerful backing. The middle-aged couple hailed from esteemed wizarding lineages,

and consequently, they possessed an understanding of appropriate inquiries. One aspect, however, was abundantly clear to them: the masked individual before them was a potent Magic Lord, having overcome the elderly gentleman in their prior encounter.

Time marched onward.

The group arrived at the Border City of the Blue Pearl Country, a settlement graced with the poetic name Blue Falls, which, as its name implied, was renowned for a magnificent waterfall.

As we drew nearer, the imposing city walls emerged into view. In typical fashion for a border city, robust fortifications encircled it.

The city's other flank met the sea, boasting a network of ports, earning it the designation of Port City. The middle-aged couple extended an invitation to their family estate.

Their family was known as the Patrick Wizard Family, with the middle-aged man identified as Sam Patrick and his wife as Carla.

Upon arrival at their residence, I observed it to be a modest estate, yet it was embraced by sprawling green fields.

Following our entrance into the mansion, the couple graciously guided me through the premises. They had two children, both immersed in their studies at the city's wizard academy.

Finally, they presented me with my assigned room. The couple's kindness was palpable, and I requested access to several books, expressing my desire to learn more about the coastal nation and the lands beyond the seas.

The couple exchanged surprised glances, inferring that the masked individual was embarking on a significant mission. They resolved to offer their full support.

"My Lord, there is one further matter of importance. You must exercise extreme caution regarding assassins, as they may well be targeting you should you venture beyond the estate," the man cautioned.

Heeding his words, I turned to him and inquired, "What is the name of their organization?"

"Their organization is known as the Sky Water Tower. While their operational bases are situated within various coastal nations, their central headquarters remains concealed," the man disclosed.

"Understood. I shall remain vigilant," I assured them.

The couple then departed. I entered my room, closing the door behind me, and employed my system to scan the surroundings. The environment registered as secure,

with no immediate threats detected. Subsequently, I availed myself of the bath to refresh, a process that lasted approximately twenty minutes. Emerging, I donned comfortable attire, keeping my mask in place.

Not long after, the butler arrived, bearing the requested device and books. I accepted the presented items.

The butler then took his leave. I placed the books upon a table before turning my attention to the device, which was already powered on, displaying news feeds and live broadcasting capabilities.

I commenced by reviewing the recorded footage.

Meanwhile,

individuals belonging to the Sky Water Tower were transporting their injured Elder to the nearest available base, as immediate medical attention was imperative.

Upon reaching their destination, they escorted the Elder to a treatment room and promptly contacted their headquarters.

The higher echelons were utterly astounded upon receiving the news. The failure of their mission was entirely unanticipated.

Compounding the failure was the fact that their Elder had sustained injuries. The superiors were intent on the mission's success.

Consequently, they issued directives for the assassination of the members of the Patrick Wizard Family, and furthermore, an order was given to eliminate the masked individual as well.

The Sky Water Tower mobilized an additional contingent. Their network of bases spanned numerous coastal nations.

Time continued its passage.

Within the Patrick family, Sam Patrick convened a meeting with the elder council and the family patriarch. The Family Head was none other than Sam Patrick's father.

The Family Head, identified as Tom Patrick, appeared to be a man in his sixties. The assembled individuals were gathered in the main conference room.

Tom Patrick's eyes blazed with indignation.

He exclaimed, "How dare they place a bounty upon my son and his wife's lives?"

The other elders echoed his outrage. The Sky Water Tower operated as a clandestine assassin organization, its reach extending across all coastal nations.

To this day, their true operational strength remained an enigma, causing the elders to exhibit apprehension.

Had the targets been other factions within the Blue Pearl Country, decisive action would have been taken. The Patrick Wizard Family possessed considerable influence and resources.

"Elders, we must exercise prudence and refrain from hasty decisions. This assassin organization maintains bases throughout the continent, and their actual capabilities remain unquantified," a senior elder advised.

Upon hearing this, the others began to voice their agreement. Tom Patrick, the Family Head, adopted a cautious stance, unwilling to make a hasty decision.

He then changed the subject, turning to his son. "Do you know anything about the masked individual?" he inquired.

"Father, I'm afraid I don't. I attempted to ask, but the person appeared to be occupied with a mission, so I refrained from prying further," Sam Patrick responded.

The others present nodded in understanding.

Family Head Tom continued, "You are correct. If this individual can achieve instant casting to defeat a Magic Lord, their background must be extraordinary."

"What does this person require?" he then asked.

Sam explained, "They are seeking sea transport. I have already promised to secure a ticket for them."

Tom Patrick's brow relaxed slightly. He found no fault with the request, recognizing it as a feasible arrangement. After consulting the other elders, they all concurred.

No one wished to antagonize a Magic Lord whose origins were unknown. Furthermore, this person had just saved the Family Head's son. Fulfilling this request was a small favor in return.

Sam Patrick felt a sense of relief. Once the meeting concluded, he promptly sought out the masked man to relay the outcome.

The Family Head had indeed agreed to provide a complimentary ticket for passage on the ship.
