Fang Zheng was not at all surprised that Tilia would cause trouble for Hecate.

In fact, ever since Hecate used Fang Zheng to torture Tilia to the point where she couldn't get out of bed for four days and three nights in Shana's world, Tilia had vowed to find a chance to take revenge. No wonder she was so angry. As Fang Zheng's "sister", Tilia always claimed to "always fight for her brother", but because of Hecate's trick, Tilia didn't catch up with the final battle of creation. In other words, when Fang Zheng finished creating the new world, Tilia was still sleeping soundly in bed.

Tilia also considered this a great humiliation, and she had long since vowed to get revenge when she found the chance!

And now it seems that Tilia has finally found an opportunity to cause trouble.

It was true that Hecate was a witch, and a great witch serving the God of Creation, but the problem was... she had nothing to do with the goddess of this world. In Fang Zheng's opinion, with Hecate's loyalty to the Sacrificial Serpent, she would obviously not sing praises for the goddess of order in this world. And now, Tilia actually wanted Hecate to help these humans hold a requiem ceremony...

Little girl, your desire to survive is so weak.

Fang Zheng silently lit a lamp for Tilia in his heart and sighed helplessly. He had long seen that although Hecate appeared to be taciturn, she was actually very smart. It was just that Hecate had always been very aloof, or in other words, she didn't particularly care about anything except the sacrificial snake, so she gave people the impression that she was not easy to approach.

But that doesn't mean she doesn't care and you can do whatever you want to her.

As the saying goes, even a clay Buddha still has some temper.

Tilia played a trick on Hecate this time. The little girl must have no reaction on the surface. After the incident is over, she will find a chance to attack with a combo...

But never mind, after all, it's just a minor trouble, nothing to worry about.

As Fang Zheng expected, after he conveyed this request to Heikati, the Great Shaman was silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

"As the leader wishes."

At the same time, Fang Zheng knew that Tilia had gotten out of her way again this time.

But Tilia wouldn't care. With her relationship with Hecate, this was a process of constantly testing the edge of death. Besides, even if she was knocked down by Hecate, so what? At worst, she could find another chance after resurrection. Anyway, the people of the Red World are immortal, so why should they be afraid of this?

The sky gradually became dark.

Dark clouds covered the sky, making the sea in the distance look even darker. Even though it was only afternoon, it felt like it was going to get dark soon. The sailors shouted as they steered the ship along the channel. Although the temperature outside was very low, no one returned to the cabin.

"I say, what on earth do they mean by this?"

Looking at the sailors who were operating the sails and shouting slogans, Oglan crossed his arms and complained in dissatisfaction.

"It's about to rain, why are they still here? And why do they want us to come out too!"

"Please don't worry, Miss Auglan."

After a few days of getting along, Captain Fox got to know the young lady's personality, and now he came over with a smile to comfort her.

"This is the rule. All ships that come to the Bay of Dead Souls are not allowed to return to the cabin before leaving the Bay of Dead Souls. And please don't worry. Although the weather here looks like it's going to rain heavily, in fact, the weather here has been like this for hundreds of years. In fact, there is no water area in this area that is calmer than the Bay of Dead Souls."

"What's going on?"

Hearing this, Oglan also asked curiously. After being ignored for a few days, the young lady also figured it out. It was obvious that the other party would not turn around and send them back for the sake of the Platinum Family. So they could only helplessly follow Fang Zheng and others all the way. Although Oglan was arrogant, he also knew the current situation. Since they were already on this pirate ship, since they couldn't resist, they would just enjoy it...

"It's like this..."

Apparently this was not the first time that Captain Fox introduced the history of Ghost Bay to guests, and he immediately transformed himself into a tour guide with ease.

"This story began a hundred years ago. At that time, the invention of the magic engine opened up a new era of navigation. Many adventurers and fleets from various countries wanted to find a new place of order. Since the location of the Bay of Souls is very advantageous, it was built into a large supply port during that period. At that time, it was called the 'Golden Bay', and there were ships and fleets everywhere..."

Speaking of this, Fox couldn't help but feel a little fascinated. When the magic engine was first invented, the craze of the Age of Exploration that it set off was the story that almost every sailor longed for. In that era, you would often hear about someone discovering mysterious relics hidden on an isolated island overseas, or finding some lost magic weapon or even countless treasures.

But unfortunately...everything has its limits.

"... No one knows the specific circumstances. Anyway, one day, a fleet arrived at Golden Bay. It was said that they found the treasure lost overseas. At that time, many people saw boxes of jewels and gold being carried off from those ships."

Fox swallowed his saliva while gesticulating and describing it, and upon hearing this, Ogland widened his eyes in surprise.

"How could someone move so much treasure in public? They must be crazy!"

It's no wonder. As the future star of the Platinum Family, although Oglan's emotional intelligence may be worrying, she is definitely smart. Of course, she also understands what it means to keep wealth private. And Fox also described the situation in Golden Bay very clearly. There were all kinds of people there. Even if you are happy to get a huge fortune, you shouldn't show it off in public.

"The weirder things are yet to come."

Fox was also getting excited now, and started dancing around.

"After those people put the boxes on the dock, they left immediately. Strangely, no one came to deliver the goods. At the beginning, everyone was just curious. After all, the entire Golden Bay was very mobile at that time, and there were many people and many gossips. Maybe there was a problem with the handover. At that time, Golden Bay even sent people to watch over the treasures. After all, the force that could bring back so many treasures was definitely not something they could afford to offend. But later, the situation changed..."

At this point, Captain Fox's voice lowered a lot. After hearing this, not only Oglen, but even Fang Zheng, Tilia and Nanali looked at Captain Fox curiously. Obviously, they were all very interested in this story.

"...One or two days passed, and no one came to ask about the treasure. Later, someone went to check, and found that there was no trace of the fleet in the entry and exit records. It was as if they had never existed! This surprised all the forces in Golden Bay at that time. However, after that, they immediately became interested in the treasure... I also said that the Golden Bay at that time was a mixed bag. Although it nominally belonged to the Holy Kingdom, it was more like a neutral zone and there were no laws. Soon, someone couldn't help but take action and wanted to snatch the treasure, and then... a terrible scene happened..."

As he spoke, even Fox showed a look of fear.

"First, one of the big forces couldn't help but send people to try to forcibly take away the treasures, and then they had a fight with the guards guarding the treasures. During the fight, the boxes containing the treasures were broken, and all kinds of treasures were exposed. After seeing the treasures, everyone went crazy. They were like possessed and started a crazy killing. All the fleets docked in Golden Bay at that time joined in the massacre..."

“Who won in the end?”

Hearing this, Ogland felt a chill all over her body. Although Fox was not a good storyteller strictly speaking, even she found the scene at that time quite terrifying.

“There are no winners.”

"What's the meaning?"

Oglan was stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean there's no winner? Someone has to survive, right?"

"No."

Fox shook his head, his expression becoming more serious.

"No one knew what happened at the time. All they knew was that after the fleet returned to Golden Bay, they only saw corpses and the wreckage of the sunken fleet. No one even knew what happened in Golden Bay that night. All of what I've said are clues that people found from the records and diaries at the port at the time..."

As he spoke, Fox sighed.

"After that, there were many mysterious sinking and disappearance incidents of ships, so this place has gradually been abandoned. And Golden Bay has been renamed the Bay of Dead Souls."

"But you still haven't told me what this has to do with not allowing us to enter the cabin?"

"It's a custom, Miss Auglan."

Fox spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

"I heard that the ghosts are still wandering around this sea, and they are still looking for treasures, so they will carefully check the cabins of every ship. If they find any living creatures, they will think that the other party has stolen their treasures, and then drag these creatures into the sea. So there is this custom here. Every time we go to the Bay of Ghosts, all of us have to go on deck, otherwise..."

“…”

Hearing this, Oglan shuddered. She looked at the dark hatch and instinctively took two steps back.

At this moment, a sailor's voice came from not far away.

"Captain, the Bay of Dead Souls is ahead!"
