Chapter 0288 The Cursed Harbor of Death (Part 2)



There was something wrong with Fox's story. In fact, Fang Zheng began to doubt this after hearing Nymph say that the illusion here was created by a magic item.

He didn't suspect Fox of lying, but the story itself was... problematic.

If you think about it carefully, the most contradictory part of this story is that someone transported a lot of treasures to Golden Bay, but did not hide them, but placed them directly on the dock for everyone to see. Is this possible? Even the stupid young lady knows that wealth should not be exposed. Would a group of crew members who were able to obtain so much wealth in the great seafaring adventure behave so stupidly?

And most importantly, at the end, the story didn't say where the fleet went or who they were. Although this might be for the artistic effect of the story, to leave a suspense. But Fang Zheng always felt that things didn't seem so simple, especially after learning from Nymph that there was a magical item that could produce a powerful illusion, he felt that all this was designed by someone.

However, Fang Zheng has not found the magic item yet and does not know the whole story, but he has a feeling that the tragedy in the Bay of the Dead must be related to the magic item that Nymph sensed and could create illusions.

At this moment, suddenly, Fang Zheng heard Kulia's voice.

"Look, Nunnally, that's a huge pearl over there!"

"Where?"

"Just...eh?"

Fang Zheng turned his head and saw Kulia pointing excitedly at a pool not far away - of course there was nothing in it.

"How could it be gone? I just saw it..."

"Did you find anything?"

Fang Zheng glanced at the puzzled Kulia, then looked at the three girls beside him, and all three of them shook their heads.

"I don't see any jewels, my Lord."

"There's nothing unusual on the radar, Master."

“…”

"Be careful."

After hearing this, Fang Zheng felt relieved. He raised his voice and spoke to the others.

"A large-scale illusion has been cast here. You must be careful and cautious. You must know that what you see may not be true. Do you understand?"

"Illusion?"

Hearing this, Oglan couldn't help but tremble. She looked around vigilantly, then quickened her pace and followed Fang Zheng and the others. She knew how powerful illusions were. In the upper circles, illusions were often used to entertain people. They could make people immersed in endless happiness and make their dreams come true. Although Oglan had always looked down on these illusions, her elders had repeatedly warned her about how terrible they were. Oglan was not a mage, nor a warrior, so she had no way to deal with something that could deceive others.

But soon, Oglan tilted his ear and showed a puzzled expression.

"Hey...you guys, did you hear any noise?"

"sound?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard what Oglan said. Fang Zheng also frowned and listened attentively. Sure enough, there seemed to be a faint sound of clinking cups and noisy noises not far away, giving people the feeling that there was a lively place like a tavern not far away. But... there should be no one here.

"Mr. Fang Zheng!"

At this moment, Kulia and Nanali also approached with pale faces. It was no wonder. There were bones everywhere. Just looking at them was very creepy. Now, something like this suddenly appeared...

"Everyone be careful and don't run around randomly."

Hearing this voice, Fang Zheng's face darkened slightly. Then he stretched out his hand and cast a protective barrier. But Fang Zheng also knew that this kind of thing was useless for illusion. Illusion was different from enchantment. The latter was more like hypnosis. As long as you woke up the recipient or prepared in advance, you could resist it. But the former was more like panoramic VR. It did not act directly on you, but created an illusion that made your senses think it was real. This kind of illusion spell was impossible to resist unless you completely cracked it.

Judging from the fact that this magic item can cover such a large area of ​​sea, its illusion effect may have reached the ninth ring or even the legendary level, which means that it is very likely a divine weapon or a magic weapon. For Fang Zheng, this is a very rare experience. He has been in the main world for a long time, and the only divine weapon he has seen is the sword of the Knight Commander Castina. As a result, it was taken back by the Goddess of Order before he could see it clearly.

Although Fang Zheng now has treasures such as "Midnight Lost Child" and "Forbidden Whip" in his hands, he has no idea how much effect these treasures can have in the main world. Now that he has a chance to get a magic weapon, he naturally will not let it go.

As the crowd got closer, the noisy sounds became clearer.

"Hey guys, what good stuff did you guys get today?"

"Handsome guy over there? Want to come in for a drink?"

"Get out of the way! Don't block the road!"

"What the hell are you doing!!"

If you just close your eyes and listen to all this, it will only make you feel like you are on a busy street. But when you open your eyes and see only piles of bones and ruins, then the sounds in your ears are a bit chilling.

"Mr. Fang, let's go back..."

At this moment, Kuriya and Nanali had already hugged each other tightly, and Miss Oglan beside them was also pale, but she tried her best to hold on, whether because of the pride of the nobility or because she didn't want to lose face in front of Fang Zheng. Even so, she quietly moved closer to Hecate.

No matter what, in the current environment, a priest always makes people feel at ease.

"This seems to be some kind of illusion..."

Fang Zheng also became cautious at this moment. He could clearly hear the sound of trucks passing by the street, and even heard a horse snorting not far in front of him - as if there was really a horse there!

“Boom boom boom!!”

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps came from behind the crowd, which made Fang Zheng and others turn their heads and look behind them - there was nothing there, of course, but at this moment, the sound in their ears suddenly changed.

"What's going on? What do those soldiers want to do?"

"Wait, over there in the square... something's wrong, run! Aa ...

"You bastards, do you know who I am? How dare you attack me here!"

"Stop talking nonsense. We have an order from above. Anyone who tries to seize the goods will be killed without mercy!"

"Nonsense, it's you who want to keep all these treasures for yourself...!!"

“Kill—!!”

“Run!”

For a moment, the noisy but peaceful sounds in everyone's ears suddenly turned into heart-pounding fighting, roaring and screaming. The sound of swords clashing, the sound of magic bursting, and the wailing and screaming of people before death made everyone feel as if they were in a battlefield. Coupled with the bones and debris around, it was even more terrifying.

"Mr. Fang Zheng..."

At this moment, Kulia and Nanali couldn't even walk.

"There, there can't be a ghost here..."

"I didn't sense the breath of the dead. It was just a sound."

As a former "Paladin", Fang Zheng was very familiar with this aspect. Although these sounds sounded horrible, he could feel that there was no breath of undead here. But even so, Kulia and Nanali still looked scared.

"But, but I can't walk anymore...Mr. Fang Zheng, my legs are starting to feel weak..."

Although the two little girls looked pitiful, Fang Zheng just shrugged his shoulders and walked straight forward. Tilia smiled and glanced at the two of them, then followed closely behind. Seeing the sound of everyone leaving, Kulia and Nanali looked at each other helplessly, and could only support each other and continue forward. Otherwise, if they stayed here, it would probably be even more dangerous.

There were constant shouts of killing all along the way. From these shouts, everyone had roughly guessed that these sounds were probably from the massacre that Captain Fox had mentioned before. Even if no pictures could be seen, these sounds alone were enough to make people feel terrified and trembling.

How strange...

Walking in front, Fang Zheng listened carefully to the shouts of killing coming from his ears while frowning.

Originally, he came here to adventure just out of curiosity, but now, Fang Zheng found that this place was becoming more and more weird!
