"This is the Gulf of the Dead …."
As the Raven slowly sailed into the dock, Fangzheng gasped when he saw the scene in front of him. The expressions of the others were not much better.
There was no other reason but because … .everything here was too tragic!
Although they had heard from Fox that countless people had participated in a crazy battle for the treasures, and all of them had died in the end, it was still a fact that they had all been killed. But that was only hearsay after all. Now, this scene was finally happening in front of their eyes!
As far as the eye could see, there were piles of bones everywhere!
After hundreds of years, the corpses here had naturally decayed, leaving only bones behind. Most of the houses had collapsed, and only some broken walls barely retained the scenery of the past. There were bones and weapons everywhere on the ground. There was dead silence all around. There was not even a breeze. It was as if everything had died here.
"Okay, get ready to dock. Stop the ship! Get ready to repair the ship. Fortunately, we have enough materials on the ship. As long as we work overtime, it won't be a problem to fix it in one night! "
When the Raven docked on the dilapidated dock, as if to break the strange atmosphere, Fawkes clapped his hands and shouted loudly. Hearing his order, the sailors hurriedly got to work. They obviously did not want to stay here for long. They just wanted to repair the ship as soon as possible and leave this godforsaken place.
"Let's go up and have a look."
Looking at the dock in front of him, Fangzheng hesitated for a moment, but he quickly made a decision. He was very interested in the magic item that Nimf mentioned that could create powerful illusions. For Fangzheng, the reason he chose to come here was mostly for this thing.
"Are we going too?"
As a nerd alchemist, Nunnally was obviously a little reluctant, but Kulia seemed to be quite interested.
"Come on, let's go and have a look together."
"Huh? But I want to stay and read …. It looks scary down there …. Don't pull me …. "
Although Nunnally resisted, Kulia still grabbed her and took her off the ship. Ogland puckered her brows at the sight of the two of them jumping off the warship. Then, she turned around, gazed at the people around her, and quickly gave an order.
"You guys go and help with the repairs. Guard captain, I'll have to trouble you to lead the others to keep a lookout for the surroundings. If you encounter any danger, release the signal immediately …."
"Alright, Eldest Miss, please rest assured."
Upon hearing Ogland's order, one of the men with half a head of white hair bowed to her solemnly. Although Ogland's personality wasn't very good, she didn't tell her servants about it. During this period of time, every time she bought food from Fangzheng, she would buy everyone's portion in one go. Although some people wanted to give her their own food, Ogland always refused on the grounds that she, as the Eldest Miss of the Platinum Family, would not eat the food of a servant.
Of course, Ogland's words weren't pleasant to the ears, but the others didn't take it to heart. After all, many of them had served Ogland all the way here, so they naturally knew her character quite well. Just by looking at her stomach growling in the middle of the night, yet she forced herself not to ask for other people's food, it was enough to explain the problem.
Because of this, although these people didn't have a comfortable life during this period of time, their loyalty to their Eldest Miss had not decreased. Now that the Eldest Miss had given an order, they would naturally obey.
"Come on, let's go and see what that annoying man is up to!"
"Cousin, I'm going too?"
Upon hearing Ogland's order, the well-dressed man froze for a moment, and a bitter look appeared on his face.
"What? You don't want to go? "
"Of course I don't want to go. Who knows what they're up to? Cousin, are you really going? I heard that tens of thousands of people died here …. "
"Ugh …."
Hearing this, Ogland also looked a little depressed. But as she stared at the backs of Fangzheng and the others leaving, she thought of the suffering she had suffered these days and couldn't help it.
"No, I'm going to see what they're up to here! Hmph, they're acting so mysteriously, they must be up to something shameful. I'm not going to let them get away with it! "
After saying this, Ogland hurriedly walked down the gangplank and chased after Fangzheng and the others.
"Sigh …."
Seeing Ogland leave the dock, the well-dressed man showed a helpless expression and let out a long sigh. But in his eyes, there was a hint of a smile that no one knew ….
"Crack, crack."
Along the way, Fangzheng felt as if he was walking on a pile of bones. Every step he took was a fragile bone. Although a hundred years had passed, everything here still gave off a strange atmosphere. The swords inserted in the walls and on the ground had long lost their former elegance and turned into rusty lumps of iron. But just looking at everything in front of them was enough to shock anyone.
"How terrifying …."
Seeing everything in front of them, Nunnally and Culia's faces turned a little pale.
"Why are these people like this …. Just for some treasures, they're willing to give up their lives?"
"Who knows? And …. I suspect there's a problem. "
"A problem?"
Hearing this, Culia was stunned for a moment. She hurriedly asked.
"What's the problem? Mr. Fangzheng? "
"Did you guys notice? We've seen hundreds of corpses on the way here."
"Almost, but …. Is there a problem?"
"Of course."
Fangzheng glanced around, then clapped his hands.
"Do you remember what Captain Fox's story said? He said that all the people who stayed here at that time were dead. In fact, no one knows what happened at that time. Only after people came to the dock did they learn what happened through the sailors' diaries and dock records, right? "
"That's right …."
"Then here's the problem."
With that said, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and glanced around.
"If a fleet really came here at that time, do you think they would ignore the corpses here? Even if they couldn't get rid of them completely because they didn't have enough manpower, they should at least clean up the corpses and burn them. After all, so many corpses here will cause a plague. And …. Have you noticed that there's another problem in that story? "
"What problem?"
Na Nali's curiosity was piqued.
"It's simple. Where's the treasure?"
Fangzheng spread his hands and sneered.
"Don't forget, it was said that these people killed each other for the countless treasures. But why didn't they kill each other when the people behind them came? If what Captain Fox said is true, then after reading the diaries and dock records, these people must have turned the dock upside down to look for the treasures. But why isn't there any movement here at all? "
"Are you saying that Captain Fox is lying? How dare he lie to us? "
At this moment, Ogland, who had rushed over from behind, heard Fangzheng's words and immediately shouted. Upon hearing her voice, Fangzheng looked at her as though she was an idiot.
"How is that possible? This is just a story for Captain Fox. He didn't come here in person, so why would he lie to us? What's more, it's been more than a hundred years. Who cares about a cursed place? If we didn't come here and see the situation with our own eyes, we wouldn't have any questions about this story, would we? "
"Ugh …."
Hearing this, Ogland was speechless. She glared fiercely at Fangzheng, but the other party did not take her seriously at all. Ogland couldn't help but feel infuriated when she saw Fangzheng's behavior. Back when she was in the Platinum Family, there were so many young geniuses. Which one of them wasn't obedient to her? Just a glance from her would make them run over. This man is really not gentlemanly at all. He's so rude to me …. Ogland was not stupid. She could tell from the tone Fangzheng used to answer her question that he was treating her like a fool.
Although she admitted that the question she asked at the time was a little stupid …. Can't you show some gentlemanly demeanor?!
Hmph, as for the treasures, maybe they're still here somewhere.
As she let her imagination run wild, Ogland stuck her head out and looked left and right. Then, just as she turned her head, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of her!
There's something there!
Upon seeing the golden light, Ogland immediately became excited. She hurriedly ran forward and looked inside the hole in the wall. Sure enough, Ogland soon saw a pile of glittering jewels and gold coins in the broken cellar under the broken wall!
"Hey, look, I found the treasures!"
Ogland was also excited when she saw this. She turned her head and looked forward, then waved at Fangzheng and the others.
"Oh?"
Hearing Ogland's voice, Fangzheng and the others also came over curiously.
"Where? Where? Did you find the treasures? "
"Of course, it's right here …. Eh?"
Ogland puffed out her chest proudly when she saw Fangzheng walking towards her. She pointed in that direction, but when she looked again the next moment, she was taken aback.
There was no treasure at all in the place Ogland was pointing at. There was only a hole overgrown with weeds.
Where are my treasures? There was such a big pile there. How did they disappear?
"Where are the treasures?"
Tiria, Nimf, and Hecate were relatively calm, but Kulia couldn't hold it in anymore. She came over and looked carefully, then looked at Ogland.
"There's nothing here at all?"
"But I clearly saw it just now. There was such a big pile …."
Ogland was also dumbfounded. She gestured with her hands and didn't know what to say. Seeing her expression, Fangzheng didn't say anything. He glanced meaningfully at the hole, then turned around and left.
"Okay, let's keep going."
"It was there just now …."
Seeing the crowd leave, Ogland was also a little unconvinced. She could not understand how the treasures had disappeared in the blink of an eye, even though she had clearly seen them earlier.
