Amidst the silence of the night, a faint yet exceedingly clear conch sound lingered by Duke's ear.
The sound was ethereal and distant, as if it came from the deepest dream of the ocean, with a unique rhythm that blended seamlessly with the natural sound of the waves, easily overlooked unless intentionally listened to or with sharp spiritual power.
Duke remembered this sound; it was an exceedingly secret contact method of the Sea Race, usually used when they wished to avoid external attention.
Whenever the Sea Race came to find him in the past and Duke was not by the sea, he would hear this sound.
This sound could only be heard by him, and others would need to use certain means to hear it; it was an extremely concealed contact method.
The Sea Race came specifically to find Duke and did not wish to draw too much attention.
However, this didn't mean that the wizards on Green Grass Island were unaware; at least Lauren and a few others knew.
