Misula City is the core city of Misula Island. Although called a city, its urban area is actually quite small; it's a small city developed specifically for tourism. Most of Misula Island's public institutions have their headquarters located in the city. On a high point in the northeast of Misula City stands a simple-looking nine-story office building, which is the Misula City Commissioner's Office and the highest administrative body of Misula City.

It was past closing time, and it was completely dark. Most of the administrative staff had already left work, and the parking spaces in the government office parking lot were mostly empty.

Dr. Edmund Sassicks, Director of the Royal Observatory of Misura Island, appeared hurriedly at the gates of the Commissioner's Office. As the only observatory established by the Kingdom of Rune in its three maritime colonies, the Royal Observatory of Misura Island primarily serves the meteorological observation needs of commercial shipping, tourism, and fisheries. Generally, this season is usually a relatively quiet one for the observatory, as the southeast monsoon winds blow around Misura Island from June to September each year, bringing rainfall and thus considered the island's rainy season, which can negatively impact tourism.

From December to March of the following year, the northwest monsoon blows. Generally speaking, the winds during this period are also known as cyclones, which can sometimes be quite strong and affect sea voyages at times. However, overall, Misula Island is much better off than those areas in the South Pacific that are closer to the mainland and experience a strong typhoon season every year due to its latitude.

For this reason, April and May, and October and November are generally the months with the best weather on the island, and also the easiest time for the weather station. But at this moment, Dr. Edmund Sussex's expression clearly did not look very good.

After passing through the security gate, a uniformed guard checked his identification and opened the door for him. He paused in the lobby as usual, straightened his tie, and then walked to the elevator...

The elevator doors opened quickly, and inside he saw two administrative staff who appeared to have just finished get off work. Judging from their slightly darker skin, they were likely local mixed-race employees. The two men were taken aback when they saw Carteris, and then bowed their heads in greeting. Carteris returned the greeting with a cold expression, while subconsciously raising his chin slightly as he walked toward the elevator.
