Chapter 614
Chapter 614 Shadow Island
The isolated Shadow Island was like the plane’s tumor to the rest of the major forces in Faen.
These evil witches from another plane were entrenched upon Shadow Island, using the geographical advantage and their terrifyingly powerful adept’s tower to resist the repeated attacks of the seafolk, the elves, and the humans for over two hundred years.
Finally, the elves and the humans had no choice but to give up on this fearsome war that had almost run their races into the ground. Instead, they chose to trap the witches and isolate them from the main continents.
After a few hundred years of conflict, even the seafolk had no choice but to acknowledge the existence of the witches. They gave Shadow Island and the surrounding hundreds of kilometers of territorial waters to these foreign witches but strictly forbade them from stepping out from the island.
For the next six hundred years, Shadow Island became the most horrifying land of evil in Faen. Every year, countless evildoers who could no longer survive in the Faen and Garan Continents would travel far and wide to Shadow Island to join the Pale Witches.
That indirectly increased the influence and strength of the witches!
The Pale Witches were able to make connections with many underground dark forces within Faen with the help of the ties brought to them by these local natives. The Pale Witches provided them with powerful and evil magical equipment, and these dark forces became the eyes and claws of the witches, helping them scour the continents for rare resources.
The massive door of light trembled intensely and completely shattered once the flying ship had made it past the portal. The violent and chaotic magic energy turbulence thrashed about in the teleportation square, but it was kept out by the defensive arrays that rose from the ground.
The violent turbulence only calmed down after several minutes, allowing the people in the square to let out a breath of relief.
“All witches leading their parties must follow me to the seventh floor for a meeting.” Witch Wurzer called out softly.
At this moment, Greem and Alice had only just stepped out of the metal hatch of their ship. They looked at each other upon hearing this and left the matters of logistics to their subordinates. They then followed the other witches and slowly walked toward the great tower looming at the center of Shadow Island.
Shadow Island was an island out in the sea and was isolated from the other continents. One couldn’t find a better volcanic island for a base within a radius of five hundred kilometers. The adept’s tower stood above the massive volcanic crater, using the mighty underground powers of fire here to provide the tower with an enormous source of free energy.
Shadow Island wasn’t particularly large in size. It was only approximately seventy square kilometers.
Apart from the abiding pillars of volcanic dust, the witches had also used a vast amount of mist on the outskirts to hide Shadow Island. That was why the island was mostly gray and shielded from the sun. Its skies were always the same dull gray color.
Naturally, the Pale Witches all stayed within the tall tower. They never needed to worry about the harsh outside environment. However, the fellows that came to Shadow Island to join the evil witches could only set up crude shacks and huts at the edge of the island, leading ‘peaceful’ and ‘needless’ lives as fishermen there.
The Pale Witches were not kindhearted enough to provide them with food and clean water. They needed to find their own water sources and food if they wanted to live in such a harsh environment. Or, they could take it from the hands of others.
Supply ships from far away only came every two or three months. That was why blood and murder were common themes in the walled city that was Shadow Island.
The brief meeting was held on the seventh floor of the tower.
When Greem and Alice arrived here with the other witches, they immediately saw a massive projection of Faen in the center of the hall.
The geography of the massive Faen Continent stretched and wound about. There were vast and sprawling mountains everywhere, with some extending for as far as five thousand kilometers, while others had steep and unforgiving slopes upon which towering forests stood. Human cities, towns, and villages of all sizes were scattered along the continent. When paired together with the winding rivers and massive lakes, it was a perfect picture of a human world.
On the other hand, the massive Garan Continent was filled with a sea of trees. From a distance, the place looked like a gigantic forest completely covered in towering, ancient trees and numerous green plants.
Greem immediately, with absolutely no reservations, scanned the three-dimensional projection of Faen into his Chip using a unique method. He then quickly reconstructed a model for comparison.
Just then, a group of witches in strange clothes walked into the hall.
