"My lord, the fleet you sent to explore the Misty Sea has returned. According to their description, the fog there seems to have undergone some new changes. The visibility is much higher than before, and the wind and waves on the sea do not seem to be as strong as before..." A tall and thin man knelt on the ground and respectfully told William the information he had investigated.

For sailors who often sail on the sea, the horror of the foggy sea is very clear. When the fog is the thickest, visibility is less than one meter! This means that on the same ship, the sailors can only see themselves surrounded by a strange white fog. They can't see the ship under their feet, let alone their companions. The only thing they can feel is that they are drifting with the swaying of the ship, heading deeper into the fog!

Anyone would inevitably have the illusion that they are heading towards hell.

But this time it was different. The three fleets that went to explore the Misty Sea had been prepared for sacrifice, but they all came back alive and brought a shocking news. The fog in the Misty Sea seemed to be slowly dissipating, and now the visibility in the fog has exceeded six meters.

Listening to his men's reports, William narrowed his eyes and paused in shaking the wine glass.

"Sir, could something have gone wrong in the wizarding land?" the tall and thin man asked cautiously.

"It's very likely..." William's mind was full of thoughts.

During this period of time, the boatmen who were stranded in Yieta have been sent back one after another. Most of the reports they gave him were about how rapidly the Yieta Harbor has developed, which was so praiseworthy that he began to wonder if these people were under some strange visual spell, or were lying to him! "Sometimes, the more you try to show off your strength, the weaker you become..." William had a sarcastic smile on his face.

From the descriptions of those boatmen, he also discovered an important piece of information, that is, a civil war broke out in the wizard city of Greenriel not long ago, and Lin En made considerable contributions in that civil war, which led to his becoming the ruler of Yieta Harbor.

The current situation of the Sea of ​​Mist is most likely related to that civil unrest.

Now the reports from those fleets have undoubtedly proved this point. The other party changed the trade from sea transportation to the use of airships in order to cover it up! "Sir William, what should we do now?" Cody couldn't help but ask.

William's eyes flickered, and he was slow to respond.

This news is undoubtedly very important, and I'm afraid it can't be concealed for too long.

The Sea of ​​Fog is so vast, and the conditions at sea are harsh and changeable, that almost every year a fleet strays into it. If one is lucky enough not to go deep into it and does not encounter a storm or the Eye of Death, there is a small chance of coming out alive.

The situation this year is different. Since their fleet was able to return safely, the others must be no exception.

It only takes one opportunity and people's fear of the sea of ​​fog will be completely shattered.

He could predict what would happen next with his feet. The Holy See would never let go of the opportunity to completely eradicate these wizards!

William's expression changed again and again. He was not willing to give up the huge profits brought by trade every year, but he also knew that once the war broke out, the wizarding land would most likely be destroyed.

After all, if these wizards had the ability to fight against the Holy See, why would they hide on a small island beyond the Sea of ​​Mist?

In the Sekas Empire, everyone knows how terrible the Holy See is. Their previous work for Herram was based on a sufficiently secret and safe environment.

Now some great changes have occurred in the wizarding land. Even the most important barrier, the Sea of ​​Mist, is about to disappear. This has to make them have strange ideas. Some people even suggested whether they should report this news to Lord Cardinal Losak.

If they can follow the clues, or even lead the Vatican's fleet through the foggy sea to find the island, they will have made a great contribution, enough to offset their mistakes, and even be granted a title and become a powerful Grand Duke.

This temptation made William's heart waver slightly. On the one hand, there was a huge profit of thousands of imperial gold coins every week, but on the other hand, it could be overturned at any time.

On the other side was the reward from the Church, a chance to become a noble of the Empire without having to hide anymore! William kept shaking the wine glass in his hand, and the scarlet liquid in it fluctuated like his mood. "Cody, do you know how many wizards Mr. Lin En has transported to the capital by airship in recent days, and what they are doing?"

"Regarding the transportation of goods, a man named Loud is now in charge. Lord Lin does not allow us to interfere. Even the servants who stayed in the manor were restricted for various reasons. So until now, their number and personnel composition are still unknown. I only know that each shipment is about three to five days apart."

Cody spoke hesitantly. "In addition, they have taken over part of the glass trade and seem to be in contact with some nobles now."

William sneered. It seemed that the new controller of Yieta was not prepared to trust him at all. The shaking wine glass in his hand paused, and then William drank the scarlet liquid inside and said in a cold voice.

"Send more people to monitor their movements in the capital starting today, and find out what these wizards want to do! Also, I need to know everything they do in the manor, so in the name of negotiating profit sharing, send someone in to take a look!"

"I understand!" Cody replied with his head down.

"Lord William, do we need to make an appointment with the Cardinal first?" a sneaky-looking boatman asked suddenly.

"No, it's not the time yet!" William shook his head. He didn't have enough chips in his hand.

The compass that can locate the wizard's land has been taken back by Lin En, which means that they have now lost the ability to find the island in the ocean.

If there are not enough merits to offset the previous "mistakes", then after losing its usefulness, the final outcome will be obvious!

So they must now obtain more information, at least to confirm when the airship will stop in the manor, as there will definitely be a way to locate the wizarding land on it.

If we can take advantage of this time to make a break with these wizards, that would be great! (End of this chapter)
