At the northernmost tip of the New Continent, near the Broken Star Sea, along the coast of the Eternal White Land.
Ice floes everywhere, bone-chilling cold.
Winter is the eternal theme of this region.
And today, although it was clearly a windless day, the sea was completely calm.
Yet.
Swish—
A medium-sized sea ship, with an unusual appearance vastly different from the current popular sailing ships, shot past the sea like an arrow, even leaving a long white line behind that couldn't be mended immediately.
With a low and slender hull, sixty red oars of varying ages extended from both sides, resembling a large water centipede, every synchronous movement propelling the ship forward.
If any sailor from the Old Continent were here, they would instantly recognize the identity of this ship.
This is a super antique "Galleys," popular over 1500 years ago before the advent of Great Navigation along the coastal regions!
