Chapter 310: Pirate Island Under the Night Sky

Since the eighth "No. 3 Submersible" had been salvaged near Frost and delivered to Dagger Island adjacent to the City-State, the island had been designated by the City-State authorities as a military forbidden zone. Consequently, two nearby shipping routes were no longer open to the public.

This, of course, sparked much speculation. It wasn't just the locals of Frost who were curious; the shipowners who were forced away from Dagger Island and nearby pirates and adventurers were also speculating. They wondered what had happened on that island, what secrets the authorities of Frost were hiding. And there were plenty of well-constructed guesses, ranging from "developing new weapons" to "conducting dangerous rituals"—yet none were reliable.

There were hardly any people left in the world who still knew about the "Abyssal Project."
