Chapter 129: Chapter 16: Rhode Island

Rhode Island, an inconspicuous island among the Bermuda Islands of the Southern Nether Sea, is surrounded by Shajia Island, notable for its geographical advantage, Mannlicher Island with its larger size, and Closseau Island, famed for its more beautiful scenery. Yet nobody would expect this place to be the headquarters of "Gray Skull," the organization that controls the entire Southern Nether Sea Region's naval transportation.

At the northern end of the island, two sharp, immense capes stretch deeply from the northeast and northwest, forming a massive elliptical harbor. The cape to the northeast extends farther into the sea, with a lighthouse constructed from massive basalt rocks towering into the clouds at its summit. At night, the lighthouse's light can be seen from at least fifty miles away on the sea surface.
