"This is the Bay of Dead Souls..."

As the Black Crow slowly sailed into the dock, Fang Zheng took a deep breath as he watched everything in front of him. The expressions of the others were not much better.

The reason is simple, just because... everything here is too tragic!

Although they had heard from Fox that countless people had fought a frenzied battle for the treasures and all died in the end, that was only hearsay after all. Now, this scene finally appeared before their eyes in reality!

Looking around, there are piles of bones everywhere!

After hundreds of years, the bodies here have naturally decayed, leaving only bones, and most of the houses have collapsed, with only some broken walls and ruins barely retaining the scenery of the past. The ground is full of bones and weapons, and there is a dead silence all around, not even the wind, as if everything here is completely dead.

"Alright, get ready to enter the port and stop the ship! Get ready for repairs. Fortunately, we have enough materials on board. As long as we work overtime, it won't be a problem to finish it in one night!"

When the Black Crow docked at the dilapidated dock, Fox clapped his hands vigorously and shouted loudly, as if to break the weird atmosphere. After hearing his order, the sailors hurriedly started to work. Obviously, they didn't want to stay here for long, and just wanted to repair the ship as soon as possible and leave this hellhole.

"Let's go up and take a look."

Looking at the dock in front of him, Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment, but quickly made a decision. He was quite interested in the magic item that Nymph mentioned that could create a powerful illusion. For Fang Zheng, the reason he chose to come here was actually mostly for this thing.

"Are we going too?"

As a otaku alchemist, Nanali was obviously reluctant, but Kuria seemed quite interested in it.

"Come on, let's go and take a look together."

"Eh? But I want to stay and read a book... It looks so scary down there... Don't pull me..."

Although Nunnally resisted, Kuriya still grabbed her and took her off the boat. Looking at the two people jumping off the boat, Oglan frowned, then she turned her head, looked at the people around her, and quickly gave an order.

"You guys go help with the repairs. Captain of the Guards, please take the others to keep watch around. If there's any danger, give a signal immediately..."

"Okay, miss, please don't worry."

Hearing Oglan's order, one of the men with half-haired hair bowed to her solemnly. Although Oglan's character was not very good, she still had nothing to say about her servants. During this period of time, every time she bought food from Fang Zheng, she bought everyone's share at once. Although there were people who wanted to give her their own food, Oglan refused every time on the grounds that she was the eldest lady of the Platinum Family and would not eat the food of servants.

Of course, what Oglan said was not pleasant to hear, but others did not take it to heart. After all, many of them had served Oglan all the way here, and they naturally knew the character of this young lady very well - just look at the young lady who was growling with hunger in the middle of the night but insisted on not asking for food from others, which was enough to explain the problem.

Because of this, although the group of people had not lived a comfortable life during this period, their loyalty to their eldest lady had not decreased. Now that the eldest lady had given an order, they would naturally obey.

"Let's go and see what that annoying man is up to!"

"Cousin, do I want to go too?"

Hearing Oglan's order, the man in fancy clothes was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his face became bitter.

"What? You don't want to go?"

"Of course I don't want to go. Who knows what they are going to do? Cousin, do you really want to go? I heard that tens of thousands of people died here that year..."

“Woo…”

Hearing this, Oglan's face showed a bit of depression, but she stared at the backs of Fang Zheng and others as they walked away, and thought about the suffering she had endured in the past few days, and she couldn't help it.

"No, I have to go and see what they are planning to do here! Humph, they are so secretive, they must be doing something shameful, I won't let them succeed!"

After saying this, Oglan hurriedly walked down the gangplank and chased after Fang Zheng and the others.

"Why……"

Watching Oglen leave the dock, the man in fancy clothes showed a helpless expression and sighed deeply. However, there was a smile in his eyes that no one knew about...

“Click, click.”

As he walked along, Fang Zheng felt as if he was walking on a pile of bones. Every time he stepped on them, they were all fragile bones. Although a hundred years had passed, everything here still gave people a weird atmosphere. Although the swords stuck on the walls and on the ground had long lost their former elegance and turned into rusty iron lumps, just looking at all this in front of him was enough to make people shocked.

“How terrible…”

Looking at all this, Nanali and Kulia's faces turned pale.

"Why would these people be like this... Just for some treasure, they would even give up their own lives?"

"Who knows? And... I suspect there's something wrong."

"Any questions?"

Hearing this, Kulia was stunned for a moment and asked hurriedly.

"What's the problem, Mr. Fang Zheng?"

"Have you noticed that we have seen hundreds of corpses along the way?"

"Almost, but...is there a problem with this?"

"certainly."

Fang Zheng glanced around and then clapped his hands.

"Do you remember Captain Fox's story? He said that everyone who stayed here at that time died. In fact, no one knew what happened at that time. Only after arriving at the dock later, they learned about what happened through the sailors' diaries and dock records, right?"

"That's right..."

“Then here comes the problem.”

Having said that, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and glanced around.

"Assuming that a fleet really came back here, do you think they would have ignored the bodies here? Even if they couldn't completely deal with them due to lack of manpower, they still had to clean up the bodies and burn them. After all, leaving so many bodies here would cause plague, and... did you notice that there is another problem in that story?"

"What's the problem?"

Now Nanali also became curious.

"That's easy. Where's the treasure?"

Fang Zheng 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? Assuming what Captain Fox said is true, then after reading the diary and the dock records, these people will definitely turn the dock upside down to look for the treasures. But why is there no movement here?"

"You mean to say that Captain Fox is lying? He dares to lie to us?"

At this time, Oglan, who came from behind, also heard Fang Zheng's words and shouted. When Fang Zheng heard the young lady's voice, he looked at her as if she were an idiot.

"How is it possible? To Captain Fox, this is just a story. He has never been here in person, so why would he lie to us? Besides, it has been more than a hundred years. Who still cares about a cursed place? If we hadn't come here and seen the situation here with our own eyes, we wouldn't have doubted this story, right?"

“Woo…”

Hearing this, Oglan was speechless. She glared at Fang Zheng fiercely, but the other party did not take her seriously at all. Seeing Fang Zheng's look, Oglan couldn't help but get angry deep in her heart. When she was in the Platinum Family, there were so many young talents, all of whom were obedient to her. She just looked at them and they ran over happily. This man was really ungentlemanly and was so rude to her... Oglan was not stupid. Of course, she could hear that Fang Zheng's tone when answering her questions before was simply treating her as a fool.

Although she admitted that the question she asked at that time was a bit stupid, but...can't you show your gentlemanly manners!

Humph, as for those treasures, they might be placed here somewhere.

While she was daydreaming, Oglan looked around cautiously, and then, just as she turned her head, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of Oglan's eyes!

There is something there!

Seeing the golden light, Oglan suddenly became excited. She ran forward in a hurry and looked inside the hole in the wall. Sure enough, Oglan soon saw a pile of glittering jewels and gold coins in the ruined cellar under the broken wall!

"Hey, come and see, I found the treasure!"

Seeing this scene, Oglan was immediately excited. She turned her head and looked forward, waving her hands vigorously at Fang Zheng and others.

"oh?"

Hearing Oglan's voice, Fang Zheng and others immediately came over curiously.

"Where, where? Did you find the treasures?"

"Of course, right here...eh?"

Looking at Fang Zheng who was walking towards her, Oglan proudly puffed out her chest and raised her head, pointing in that direction, but the next moment when she looked again, she was surprised.

There was no treasure at the place where Oglan pointed, only a hole overgrown with weeds.

Where is my treasure? It was so huge and just there, how come it disappeared?

"Where is the treasure?"

Tilia, Nymph and Hecate were still calm, but Kuria couldn't help it now. She came over, looked carefully again and again, and then looked at Oglan.

"There's nothing here at all?"

"But I just found such a huge pile..."

At this moment, Oglan was also confused, gesturing with his hands, not knowing what to say. Seeing her expression, Fang Zheng said nothing. He glanced at the hole meaningfully, then turned and left.

"Okay, let's keep going."

"It was clearly there just now..."

Seeing everyone leaving, Oglan was a little unconvinced. She couldn't understand why she saw the treasures so clearly just now, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

What the hell is this?!
