Ronald was only able to notice this light due to his extraordinary vision.

Although there were quite a few Casters working near the dock, their reconnaissance abilities were insufficient to detect changes from the distant coastline.

"Look over there..."

Catherine, standing nearby, heard Ronald's warning and immediately focused her gaze on the distance.

The Astrology Tower Master's body had long been transformed by spells into something vastly different from humans. Catherine's pupils changed at a speed far beyond normal creatures, allowing the distant scenery to be reflected within them.

Sparkling lights were steadily sailing toward the coastline.

If one looked closely, they could even make out shadowy outlines formed by lines behind the lights.

"There's even the shape of ships within those lights."

Ronald saw the exact same scene as Catherine:

"That's right, someone is sailing...or rather, it's a fleet heading this way."

A fleet is approaching the city.

Under normal circumstances, the sailors at Hamono would surely handle it properly.

But right now, it's during a time of war.

So, the purpose of this fleet's appearance must be questioned directly.

Is it a maneuver by Lin Yin City's army before an attack; or is it that Hamono, a city with a long history, also has its own hidden cards unknown to people?

Ronald pondered seriously, and his thoughts eventually slipped back to the conversation with Catherine:

"Catherine, do you think the approach of this fleet has any connection with the 'what if' mentioned in the predictions of [Psychological History]?"

"I think..."

Catherine was just about to respond, but the words got caught in her throat.

Because right in their line of sight, the fleet that had been sailing towards the shore with lights on, suddenly turned off all its lights, west to east, in an orderly manner!

It might be due to the battle between the Casters of Hamono and Lin Yin City.

Tonight, a thick cloud was covering the sky in this area, blocking all the starlight and moonlight from above.

Thus, when the fleet turned off its lights...

Their silhouettes completely disappeared into the pitch-black coastline, and even Ronald and Catherine were now unable to determine the fleet's position on the sea by sight alone.

Seeing this, Ronald exchanged a glance with Catherine.

There was no need to say more, the fleet was definitely coming with hostile intent!

The action of extinguishing the lights at the very edge of ordinary reconnaissance capability proved their malicious intent!

"Ronald..."

Catherine was about to say something, but Ronald directly shook his head, interrupting her:

"Let's go notify Warner Son first."

"The situation hasn't reached the point where we must get involved in the war. Ensuring the safety of the teleportation mage is our top priority right now."

Upon hearing Ronald's clear decision,

Catherine's previous doubts disappeared completely, and she turned them into a satisfied and trusting smile:

"Alright, I'll follow your lead."

The two immediately hurried to Warner Son's location.

They had been here once in the evening, so it was no big deal to find the mage again.

Within minutes, they reached the dock and saw the teleportation mage, still overseeing the Casters' work in the dead of night. In front of Warner Son, a brand-new ship had already been completed.

——A miraculous shipbuilding speed! 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Anyone with relevant experience knows the difficulty of building a ship.

A simple raft can certainly be built in a day, but a maturely structured, large multi-mast sailboat...

to be constructed in one day,

could only be described as a miraculous creation of spells.

"Mr. Warner Son!"

Feeling only a moment of awe in his heart, Ronald quickly stepped forward, calling out the man's name.

The teleportation mage, working tirelessly through the night, turned his head.

Despite the darkness, the brightly lit construction site illuminated by the dock's lights allowed him to immediately recognize Ronald's face.

"It's you?"

"Why, have you changed your mind? Can't wait even for the last half day and want me to send you off now?"

Ronald shook his head in denial:

"That's not it. We don't have anything else to do at the moment, so we plan to wait here for the time to come."

Warner Son had no objection to this, and upon hearing the answer, he turned back to continue his work, no longer glancing in Ronald's direction, even for a second.

"In that case, just stay put and make sure not to disrupt our work."

"..."

The teleportation mage's dedication was remarkable.

Unfortunately, Ronald's purpose for coming here was no longer as simple as when he set out.

Recalling the scene he just witnessed, even to protect the mage who would soon help him teleport, he had to issue a warning:

"I think it's better to warn you about something."

"When coming over, Catherine and I noticed a fleet on the distant sea, seemingly heading towards Hamono."

Warner Son's figure instantly froze on the spot.

The mage was not young anymore, and his school's original spells didn't have enhancements for physical constitution or lifespan extension.

So, when he turned his head towards the pitch-black night,

except for the waves near the dock, illuminated by the brightly lit construction site, Warner Son's aged vision saw only a black mass, completely unable to see what Ronald mentioned.

A thought flashed through the teleportation mage's mind.

Would Ronald, who needed his help, joke about such a thing?

Impossible!

Warner Son didn't hesitate long and immediately pulled a bell from his robe, ringing it.

Clang, clang, clang——

The clear bell sound rang out.

At the same time, a brief and brisk magic fluctuation spread with the sound.

After making this move, Warner Son stared at his left side, a multi-mast sailboat not yet completed.

It didn't take long before a young man emerged from inside the vessel under construction. His expression still carried the distraction of construction issues:

"Mr. Warner Son, what do you need me for?"

"But speaking of which, a few of the boards fixing the cabin broke accidentally, and I was thinking..."

"Alan, I didn't call you out for that!" The traditional mage immediately interrupted the young man's complaint and instructed with utmost seriousness, "Use your reconnaissance spell right now to see if anything is approaching the coastline."

"Hurry, this is important!"

"We might be facing a crisis here!"
