The place Zestia brought him was in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. To be specific, it was a volcanic island where both active and dormant volcanoes existed.
It was a single island sprawling around 500 square kilometers, as Zestia had told him. From the air, Neo saw several settlements scattered in various spots. She explained that traders and locals lived there.
Everything seemed to make sense to Neo, until they were surrounded by several humans with fish scales and fins for ears.
"Mermaids?" Neo echoed, stunned.
Looking at his flabbergasted expression, Zestia laughed. "Hehe, I assume it's your first time seeing them?"
"Of course," Neo whispered.
She nodded. "I completely understand. Much like you, the outside world doesn't know about them either."
