It was over.
When Fangzheng put away Feng Jue and returned to the ship, the battle here had also come to an end. Or rather, when Fangzheng listened to Nunnally and Kuria's narration, he learned that Van Vril and his gang had actually followed him here like ghosts?
But now, those guys were naturally done for. According to Tiria, the Nimf had destroyed the warship that came to them to show off its might. As for the powerhouse that came looking for trouble … well, judging from Hecate's appearance, not even his bones were left.
"My … my lord, it's great that you're alright … What the hell is going on …?"
Captain Fox came over while wiping away his cold sweat. He finally understood why these people did not care at all when he and the others said that going to the Misty Waters was dangerous. Even the Brahmins' frigates were easily destroyed. With such a powerful force, no pirate in the entire Misty Waters was a match for them!
"It's not a long story …."
By now, Fangzheng had figured out the situation in the Gulf of Souls, so he gave a brief explanation. To put it simply, a Dracolich seemed to have taken a fancy to the Golden Bay, so the Dracolich used a divine artifact to create an illusion, triggering that tragic massacre. Then, the Dracolich used the souls of the sailors who died in the massacre to build its Ghost Fleet. To be honest, Fangzheng did not understand why the Dracolich would transform the Undead Bone Dragons into Ghost Ships like a lunatic when he clearly had a large number of them. But he did not care. He had completed the task given to him by the goddess, which meant that everything here was settled. As for the rest, Fangzheng was not a curious baby, so he had no interest in caring about it.
Because Fangzheng was very clear that although he had provoked the Dracolich, it wasn't him who brought it to the main world. Instead, it was Miss Ogland's cultist brother. Judging from his prayers, the cultist seemed to have some kind of connection with the Dracolich, which was why it could be summoned to this world.
If he continued to investigate, it would mean that he would have to find trouble with the cultists. Fangzheng didn't have the mood to take the initiative to provoke trouble, so he didn't plan to investigate the secret deal between the two parties.
"So that's how it is …"
After listening to Fangzheng's brief explanation, Captain Fox couldn't help but feel emotional. Of course, he didn't know what a Dracolich was. But at least Fawkes understood the gist of it.
"Well, what happened to the souls of those poor sailors?"
"His soul has probably returned to the sea."
Fangzheng shrugged in response to Fox's question. He wasn't sure what happened to those souls either. After all, Fangzheng's attention was focused on the Undead Bone Dragons and the Dracolich. He didn't care too much about what happened to the Undead sailors. But since the system notified him that the quest was completed, their souls should have disappeared. After all, those Undead were bound by the Dracolich's evil magic. Now that the Dracolich's soul had been dug out by Fangzheng and thrown to Masael for initialization, the Undead controlled by his evil magic were naturally freed.
As for whether they would go to heaven or hell, Fangzheng didn't know.
"I see …"
Hearing this, Captain Fox only sighed. But Ogland, who was not far away, seemed to have thought of something. He couldn't help but look at Fangzheng.
"Wait, do you mean that the Gulf of the Dead is no longer dangerous?"
"Something like that … I guess so."
Glancing at the Gulf of the Dead, which looked like it had been ravaged by a magnitude 10 earthquake, Fangzheng shrugged.
"Then … Are you interested in joining hands with the Platinum Family? Let's develop it together?"
"Huh …?"
Fangzheng could not help but be taken aback when he heard that.
"What do you mean? Miss Ogland? "
"It's simple."
In the face of Fangzheng's question, Ogland puffed out his chest proudly.
"The Gulf of the Dead is no longer dangerous, isn't it? Then the Platinum Family can redevelop this place and restore it to the glory of the Golden Bay! What do you think? I think it's a good deal. "
"There's such a thing?"
Hearing this, Fangzheng couldn't help but be stunned, while Ogland nodded.
"Of course. That's what the Platinum Family does! The terrain of the Gulf of the Dead is very good. I've looked around just now. It's indeed suitable to build a large and excellent port! There are no hidden reefs nearby, and you've solved the haunting. As long as we clean up the sunken ships and do some construction, this place will become an excellent ocean port again! "
As he spoke, Ogland stretched out his hand and showed two fingers to Fangzheng.
"20%! On behalf of the Platinum Family, I can give you 20% of the profits! "
"Hmm …."
Frankly speaking, Fangzheng was dumbfounded when he saw Ogland, who looked like he was about to die, still in the mood to talk business with him. But when he thought about it carefully, Fangzheng suddenly realized that Ogland's proposal was not bad!
In terms of geographical location, the Gulf of the Dead was indeed a very good transit station. That was why it used to be called the Golden Bay. Later, it was also because of the Dracolich that most merchant ships had to leave this area and go straight to the ocean route. Of course, for those merchant ships, this was not a good choice. After all, the ocean route was very dangerous. Not only did it take a long time, but they also had to carry more supplies. This imperceptibly increased the burden on the merchant ships. If the Gulf of the Dead could operate normally again, it would definitely be a great benefit for the merchants currently on the Endless Sea.
Moreover, Fangzheng also had to consider the problem of transporting supplies after his Tendo Temple was opened. If he transported food ingredients, alchemy materials, and other things directly from the local port of the Country of Saints, it would take too long, and there would be all kinds of risks along the way. The location of the Gulf of Departed Souls was not bad. From the sea map, it was only about a two-day voyage away from the location where Fangzheng had decided on where the Heavenly Dao Palace would unfold. Furthermore, as the foggy waters were uninhabited, there were submerged reefs and rocks everywhere. Typically, no one would trespass there. This way, if Fangzheng wanted to transport supplies and supplies, he could directly go through the Gulf of the Dead instead of going through the trouble of going to the local port of the Country of Saints.
It was impossible for Fangzheng to develop the Gulf of the Dead by himself. The amount of money and manpower needed to be invested in this godforsaken place would be astronomical. Fangzheng did not have that much money and manpower. If it was the Platinum Family ….
"Fifty percent."
Fangzheng stretched out his hand.
"You have to understand that I'm the one who solved all the problems here."
"Fifty percent won't do! Twenty percent at most! "
Ogland also entered the bargaining mode.
"You know, although the Platinum Family is powerful in the Country of Saints, we can't hide the truth from the masses! When the news that the Gulf of the Dead has returned to normal spreads, there will definitely be people who will fight with us for it! When that time comes, we'll have to deal with them. We might even have to give them a part of the management rights here. If you want to take half of it by yourself, then if the Platinum Family gives away the management rights, who will have the final say here? I'm not going to work for you! "
"But you've already seen my power with your own eyes."
Fangzheng spread his hands.
"I promise to provide military support and security to a certain extent for the Golden Bay. Isn't that enough?"
"In that case, I can give you twenty-five percent of the management rights!"
"No way, at least forty percent."
"That's impossible. This place must be dominated by the Platinum Family. Don't even think about forty percent …."
"Ugh … What's going on?"
Looking at this scene in front of them, Na Nali, Kulia, and the others were dumbfounded. They couldn't understand why the two of them suddenly thought of developing a port here while they were chatting.
