"Nimf!"
"Yes, Master! What's the matter? "
"This is a spell. Dispel it!"
"Yes."
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Nimf nodded hurriedly. She quickly stretched out her hand. Soon, ribbons of flickering light shot out from her fingertips and disappeared into the surrounding air. Then, a series of flashes of data appeared in Nimf's eyes. Her expression suddenly changed.
"This... Master, I'm going to dispel this illusion!"
As she spoke, Nimf pulled hard with her hands. The next moment, everyone saw the world in front of them tremble violently along with Nimf's seemingly powerless movement. Then, with a snap, the world in front of them suddenly distorted and turned into something else entirely.
"This, this is...."
Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone was stunned!
Gloomy clouds still shrouded the sky, but it was no longer the picturesque scenery in front of everyone. In the turbid, dark, deep-blue seawater, there were corroded and rusted ship wreckages everywhere. Traces of ships capsizing and running aground could be seen everywhere on the sea. More importantly, submerged reefs could be seen emerging from time to time in the surrounding seawater!
"What the hell is going on here!?"
Captain Fox's face was ashen. As a captain, he of course knew how dangerous this situation was for a ship. Not to mention the decayed ship wreckages, just the surrounding submerged reefs were enough to make any experienced captain flinch. And now, he had actually barged in here like a fool!
Looking around, Fawkes could clearly see the wreckage of ships everywhere. Fortunately, judging from the height at which they had sunk, they had not run aground yet. Fortunately, Fawkes had been alert just now. Otherwise, he might have just foolishly crashed into the wreckage, and there would have been no more after that....
"This is a large-scale illusion spell."
Fangzheng's expression didn't look good at this time. Although he had seen some knowledge about illusion spells in the white tower, Fangzheng had never paid special attention to them. This was because prophecy spells naturally restrained illusion spells. Ordinary illusion spells couldn't pose a threat to Fangzheng at all.
But even he didn't expect a truly powerful illusion to be so terrifying. Not only did it silently trick them, but it also blinded his Prophecy Spell and Future Vision! Fortunately, he had already come into contact with level 6 spells and learned the spell that was the nemesis of illusion spells, so he was able to see through the hidden dangers. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Nimf, was this illusion released by someone?"
"That's not it, Master."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Nimf shook her head.
"No?"
Hearing Nimf's answer, Fangzheng was a little surprised. But he soon saw that the little angel's expression was very calm, so he immediately understood. If this large-scale illusion was released by someone, the little angel would have immediately warned him of the danger after dispelling the illusion. But the little angel didn't do so, which meant that she had already discovered the source of the illusion.
"Yes, when I dispelled the illusion just now, I did a counter-tracking and found that this illusion was released by a powerful magic item. And … "
"And?"
"That magic item is very powerful. Even I can only temporarily seal it. It seems to have an independent and complete self-operating mechanism. I don't know when it will break through the seal and operate again."
"Oh? Where is that thing? "
Hearing Nimf's answer, Fangzheng suddenly became interested. If this illusion was cast by a powerful existence, then he wouldn't care too much. But now that this illusion was cast by a magic item, Fangzheng couldn't help but have a new idea ….
"It's at the port right ahead …."
"Captain, it's bad!! “
At that moment, a sailor suddenly ran out of the cabin and shouted.
"Water's in!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, everyone was alarmed. As for Fangzheng, he frowned as he hurriedly followed Fox, whose ass seemed to be on fire, into the cabin. When they reached the lowest floor, they saw a huge crack on one side of the cabin. Seawater was currently pouring into the ship desperately. Although the sailors tried to block the hole, the gap was too big. They couldn't block it no matter how hard they tried.
Seeing this scene, Fangzheng also frowned. He stretched out his hand and flicked it lightly. With a flash of magical radiance, a force field wall instantly appeared outside the hole and blocked the seawater. At the same time, the sailors hurriedly picked up the wooden planks next to them and sealed the hole.
"Phew …. Thank you, sir."
Seeing that the hole was blocked, Fawkes couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"How's the situation?"
"Not good."
Looking at the hole in the cabin, Fawkes's expression turned ugly.
"Maybe we hit the angle of the sunken ship. This hole is beyond what we can deal with at the moment, unless we find a place to temporarily dock and repair it. But where are we going to find one in this vast sea …. "
"Isn't there one in front of us?"
"Sir, you mean the Gulf of Souls?"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Fawkes's expression turned even uglier.
"No, the Gulf of Souls …. That place is too strange. And as you can see, sir, there are sunken ships all along the way. It's impossible for our ship to sail into the port …."
"These sunken ships aren't a problem."
Fangzheng was very calm about this. It was just sunken ships. He had Tiria and Hecate, two Red World Apostles under him. The Red World Apostles were best at transforming matter into the Power of Existence. As long as all these sunken ships were transformed into the Power of Existence and disappeared completely, they could open up a sea route.
"If I have a way to deal with these sunken ships, then as long as we reach the port, you'll have a way to repair the ship?"
"Of course, sir. Although this place has been abandoned for many years, I think some of the equipment should still be usable. Even if they can't be used, as long as we can enter the port, I'll have a way to repair the ship. But …. Sigh, there's really no other way. "
To be honest, as long as there was even the slightest possibility, Fawkes would not want to go to a place like the Gulf of Souls. But he also knew that if he did not find a place to dock and repair his ship, it would be completely destroyed. Although the sailors had already blocked the hole, it was only temporary support. Under such circumstances, it would be very dangerous to continue sailing towards the Misty Waters.
"Then it's decided."
Fangzheng did not give Fawkes any time to think. He immediately made up his mind. In fact, after he learned from Nimf that the mysterious magic item was in the Gulf of Souls, Fangzheng had already planned to go to the Gulf of Souls to investigate. Fangzheng had never seen a magic item that could create such a powerful illusion. If possible, he certainly would not mind taking such a good item for himself.
Since Fangzheng had already made a decision, Fawkes naturally could not say anything else. Besides, the ship really needed to be repaired, so he could only bite the bullet and agree. But what made Fawkes curious was ….
"Sir, how are you going to clean up the sunken ships in this area?"
Standing at the bow of the ship and looking at the Gulf of Souls in the distance and the sunken ships in the sea, Fawkes took a deep breath and asked uneasily. As far as the eye could see, there were hundreds of sunken ships in front of him. Their masts were erected in the sea. From a distance, it looked like a forest that was half the height of a person.
There are so many sunken ships. Does this sir really have a way to deal with them?
"Hecate."
Sensing Fawkes' gaze, Fangzheng smiled and looked at Hecate beside him. Upon hearing Fangzheng's call, Hecate tilted her head and stared at him quietly with a pair of big blue eyes without blinking.
"Please clean up all these things."
"Understood. As you wish, leader."
Upon hearing Fangzheng's words, Hecate nodded and raised the triangular staff in her hand again.
