Ocean World

The Cato Island covers an area of approximately 300 square kilometers.

The Seven Seas Alliance occupies an Ocean World with a tropical climate that is hot all year round, and islands of all sizes are scattered across the ocean.

The oddly dressed girl gave Linsey a brief introduction before continuing, "The only purpose of the Cato Island we're on now is to receive travelers from other worlds through this one-way Teleportation Array. If you wander around the island, you might even find a painting hut built by someone?"

Linsey asked:

"Aren't there any hotels or banks or similar facilities on the island?"

"A restaurant, or an office or something?"

"Wala Wala, come and see!" Just then, another girl's voice rang out from afar, calling out, "The sun and clouds here are so beautiful! You must draw this scenery before you leave!"

The girl in front of Linsey's eyes lit up, but she still gave Linsey an answer:

"That kind of thing doesn't exist on Cato Island."

Then, she sang a poem in her beautiful voice. "Sea breeze! Sailing out of the Azure Forest, pursuing its own song~~"

As the short song ended, a harmonious breeze swept through the area.

Right in front of Linsey.

Riding on the summoned breeze, the girl glided away into the distance like a surfer riding a wave, moving at a rapid speed.

"..."

Undoubtedly Source Material Skill, and this 'casting method'...

"An artist from the Seven Seas Alliance?"

Linsey murmured softly.

During his past travels, he had only encountered one artist, Ms. Agnes, whom he met in a small town before leaving the Hidden Borderlands.

Linsey still hasn't finished using the gem powder she received from the other party.

Looking back now, the various behaviors of the people on Cato Island in this world managed by the Seven Seas Alliance were probably unique results caused by the influence of the artists.

"So, to confirm the Teleportation Array's status, do we still need to go to the City of a Thousand Sails?"

Linsey scratched her head.

He continued to talk to the people around him, and after some effort, he finally managed to find out what was going on.

The location of Cato Island is actually an archipelago at sea, with each island serving a different function.

However, the Teleportation Array on Cato Island only allows entry but not exit. You need to take a ship to other nearby islands to find and use the Teleportation Array to leave the Seven Seas Alliance.

The only problem is that Linsey's needs are too specific.

The City of Law is also World Main City, and it is currently in the midst of war.

The teleportation system in the Catoer Islands is not capable of handling such rare needs.

Linsey must travel to the City of a Thousand Sails, where the Seven Seas Alliance headquarters is located, to find the true route to the City of Law from the central teleportation network there.

"There hasn't been a smooth journey at all. Hmm... except for White City?"

Having decided that he would be staying in the Seven Seas Alliance for some time, Linsey began to seriously consider his action plan.

"First, find a boat to leave."

"Since this is the world of artists, my Rhythm Game module should be able to be unlocked here as well."

Linsey began to act.

Most people on Cato Island didn't intend to stay there, Linsey quickly found the port to leave by following the flow of people.

"This is... a ship?"

Looking at the scene before her, Linsey once again didn't know how to express her confusion.

The so-called harbor was just a bay in a rocky depression, where three ships the size of three-masted sailing ships were indeed moored.

But the details here are quite strange.

Linsey did not see any oars around the hull, nor any underwater propulsion system, and there were no sails on the deck that relied on the wind.

It was actually at the bow of the ship.

There are several huge troughs connected to the ship's keel, with ropes extending all the way down to the ocean floor.

"Young man, is this your first time visiting the Seven Seas Alliance?"

Linsey's doubts were noticed by other tourists.

These people didn't have the arrogance of the Seven Seas Alliance natives; instead, they offered a smiling explanation:

"The so-called ox-drawn cart and horse-drawn cart."

"The ships of the Seven Seas Alliance do not rely on manpower, wind power, or the mechanical creations of craftsmen."

"The ships here navigate by being towed by fish that live in the sea."

Fish tugboat? Linsey asked cautiously, "What if something goes wrong with the fish on the tugboat? Wouldn't that put the boat in trouble?"

"Heh—" A local from the Seven Seas Alliance nearby laughed disdainfully the moment he heard this. "The Sea People are the creation of Master Mengfei. They are safe and reliable, and they would never betray humanity under any circumstances."

"What a ridiculous worry!"

Sea People? Works? Linsey heard two unfamiliar words.

That local from the Seven Seas Alliance, though he was born with a disdain for country folk.

But with the arrogance of a host entertaining guests, he then took the initiative to introduce himself to Linsey: "Judging from your expression, I know you don't understand."

"The works of great artists can evolve into reality, and it is not impossible for them to create a species."

When talking about the attire of great artists, men get excited and even gesticulate wildly.

Linsey was already deep in thought.

The work evolves into reality, and even creates life...

He already knew that the awakened individuals from various professions were all more outrageous than the last.

As one of the most powerful forces, artists are indeed a profession with outrageous abilities.

Linsey tentatively asked:

"If this kind of thing were commonplace, the entire universe would probably be in chaos."

"So this must be something only a very high-level Awakened can do, right?"

The locals nodded approvingly.

"You're quite clever. This kind of thing is naturally something only a great figure at the Seventh Stage or above could do."

Linsey pressed for details, asking, "So an artist's level of achievement depends on the quality of their work?"

The locals snorted matter-of-factly, "What else can we do? We can't be like those brutish barbarians, using the ability to destroy things as a criterion for evaluation, can we?"

"Of course, there is a distinction between creators and performers in art. Depending on the art category they master, the specific criteria for judgment also vary."

Woohoo—

At that moment, a long, distant cry echoed from the sea.

A faint melody could be faintly heard.

At the same time, a shadow emerged from beneath the water outside the port, and the ropes connecting the ship's tugboat gradually rose, taut and taut, vaguely connecting with the shadow beneath the water.

Look inside the port.

The boats closest to the reef had long planks pulled out to connect to the land, and people had to hop and jump to get onto the boats, but they were able to do so in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, the locals of the Seven Seas Alliance took the initiative to invite Linsey:

"Get ready to board the ship."

"That sound indicates other Fishing Boat are returning to port; we need to board and leave now."
