it's over.
When Fang Zheng put away the seal and returned to the ship, the battle here had already come to an end. Or, when Fang Zheng listened to Nanali and Kulia's story, he learned that Vanriel's group had followed him here?
But now, those guys are naturally finished. According to Tilia, Nymph killed the warship that came to them to show off its power. As for the strong man who came to trouble them... Well, looking at Hecate's appearance, I'm afraid there is not even a bone left.
"My Lord, I'm so glad you're okay... May I ask what happened?"
Captain Fox also came over wiping his sweat. He finally understood why these people didn't care at all when he said it was dangerous to go to the Misty Sea. Even Vanriel's frigate could be easily destroyed. With such a powerful force, I'm afraid that the pirates in the entire Misty Sea are not their opponents!
"It's not a very long story..."
Fang Zheng had figured out the situation in the Bay of Dead Souls, so he briefly explained it. To put it simply, a dracolich seemed to have set its sights on the Golden Bay, and then used a divine artifact to create an illusion, triggering the brutal massacre. Then the dracolich used the souls of the sailors who died in the massacre to create its ghost fleet. To be honest, Fang Zheng didn't understand why the dracolich, which had a lot of undead bone dragons, would go crazy and transform them into ghost ships. But he didn't care. Anyway, the task assigned to him by the goddess was completed, which meant that everything here had been settled. Fang Zheng was not a curious baby and had no interest in the rest.
Because Fang Zheng knew very well that although he had provoked the dragon lich before, it was not him who brought it to the main world, but the cultist brother of Miss Ogran. Judging from the other party's prayers, the cult seemed to have some connection with the dragon lich, so it was able to summon it to this world.
If he continued the investigation, it would mean getting into trouble with the cultists. Fang Zheng didn't want to take the initiative to cause trouble, so he didn't plan to investigate what kind of PY transactions were going on between the two parties.
"So that's how it is..."
After listening to Fang Zheng's brief account of the cause and effect, Captain Fox couldn't help but sigh. Of course, he didn't know what a dragon lich was. But at least Fox understood the general content.
"And what became of the souls of those poor sailors?"
"Maybe his soul has returned to the sea."
Facing Fox's question, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. He didn't know the fate of those souls. After all, Fang Zheng's attention was focused on the undead bone dragons and dragon liches in the later period. As for what happened to the undead sailors, he didn't care too much. But since the system prompts that the task is completed, their souls should have disappeared. After all, those undead were bound by the evil magic of the dragon lich. Now that the soul of the dragon lich has been dug out by Fang Zheng and thrown to Malthael for initialization, the undead controlled by its evil magic will naturally be freed.
As for whether they would go to heaven or hell next, Fang Zheng had no idea.
"Is that so..."
Hearing this, Captain Fox just sighed. But Oglan, who was not far away from him, seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but look at Fang Zheng.
"Wait, do you mean that this Ghost Bay is no longer dangerous?"
"About that... I think so."
After taking a look at the Ghost Bay which looked as if it had been devastated by a magnitude 10 earthquake, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"So...are you interested in joining forces with our Platinum Family and developing it together?"
"ha……?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned.
"What do you mean, Miss Auglan?"
“It’s very simple.”
Facing Fang Zheng's question, Oglan puffed out his chest proudly.
"The Dead Soul Bay is no longer dangerous, right? Then our Platinum Family can redevelop this place and restore it to its former glory as the Golden Bay! What do you think? I think this is a good deal."
"Is there such an operation?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was stunned for a moment, while Oglan nodded.
"Of course, that's what our Platinum Family does! The terrain of Ghost Bay is very good. I just took a look and it is indeed suitable for building a large and excellent seaport! There are no reefs nearby, and you have solved the ghost problem. So as long as we clean up those sunken ships and build it well, this place will become an excellent ocean port again!"
As he spoke, Oglan stretched out his hand and raised two fingers to Fang Zheng.
"Twenty percent! I can give you twenty percent of the profits on behalf of the Platinum Family!"
"Um……"
Frankly speaking, Fang Zheng was also confused to see Oglan, who was in a bandage and looked like he was about to die, still in the mood to talk business with him. But when he thought about it carefully, Fang Zheng suddenly realized that Oglan's suggestion was really good!
From a geographical point of view, the Bay of Dead Souls is indeed a very good transit station, which is why it was called the Golden Bay in the past. Later, because of the dragon lich, most merchant ships had to stay away from this area and go directly to the ocean route. Of course, this is not a good choice for those merchant ships. After all, the ocean route is very dangerous, and it takes a long time, and they have to carry more supplies. Invisibly, it adds to the burden of merchant ships. If the Bay of Dead Souls can operate normally again, then it will definitely be a big benefit for the merchants currently on the Endless Sea.
Moreover, Fang Zheng also had to consider the transportation of materials after the expansion of his Tiandao Palace. Food materials, alchemical materials and other things, if they were transported directly from the mainland port of the Holy Kingdom, it would take too long and there would be various risks on the way. The location of the Dead Soul Bay was very good. From the sea chart, it was only about two days' sailing distance from the location where Fang Zheng had booked the Tiandao Palace to be expanded. Moreover, since the Misty Sea was an uninhabited area with reefs and rubble everywhere, generally no one would trespass. In this way, if Fang Zheng wanted to transport materials and supplies, he could go directly to the Dead Soul Bay without having to go to the mainland of the Holy Kingdom.
It would be impossible for Fang Zheng to develop the Ghost Bay by himself. The money and manpower required to develop this place would be an astronomical figure. Fang Zheng does not have so much money and manpower. If it were the Platinum Family...
“Fifty percent.”
Fang Zheng stretched out his hand.
"You have to understand that I was the one who solved all the troubles here."
"Fifty percent is not enough! Twenty percent at most!"
Ogland also entered bargaining mode.
"You have to know that although our Platinum Family is powerful in the Holy Kingdom, we are not omnipotent! When the news that Ghost Bay has returned to normal spreads, there will definitely be people who will compete with us for it! By that time, we will also need to negotiate with them, and it is even possible that we will divide the management rights here. You want to take half by yourself. If our Platinum Family divides the management rights again, who will have the final say here? I will not work for you!"
"But you have also witnessed my power firsthand."
Fang Zheng spread his hands.
"I promise to provide military support and protection to Golden Bay to a certain extent. Isn't that enough?"
"In that case, I can give you 25% of the management rights!"
"No, at least 40%."
"This is impossible. We, the Platinum Family, must be in charge here. Forty percent of you can forget about it..."
"Uh...what's going on?"
Looking at the scene in front of them, Nanali, Kulia and others were all confused. They couldn't understand why these two people suddenly thought of developing a port here while talking?
There's something subtly wrong with this development.
