Chapter 288: The Cursed Harbor of Death (Part II)
There was something wrong with Fawkes's story, which in fact began to be doubted after Fang Zheng heard Nimfu say that the illusion here was made by a magical object.
He didn't suspect that Fox was lying, but the story itself......... There is a problem.
If you think about it, the most inconsistencious part of this story is that someone transported a lot of treasure in Golden Bay, but instead of hiding it, it was placed directly on the dock for everyone to see. Is this possible? Even that stupid lady knows the truth that wealth is not exposed, and how can a crew member who can make so much money in the midst of a great sailing adventure behave so idiotically?
And most importantly, in the end, the story doesn't say where the fleet went or who it was. Although this may be for the artistic effect of the story, to leave a suspense. But Fang Zheng always felt that things were not so simple, especially after learning from Nimfu that there was a magical item that could produce powerful illusions, and he had the feeling that it was all designed by someone.
It's just that at present, Fang Zheng hasn't found the magic item, and he doesn't know the ins and outs of the matter, but he always has a feeling that the tragedy in the Bay of the Dead must be inseparable from the magic item that Nimfu sensed and can create illusions.
And at this time, suddenly Kulia's voice came from Fang Zheng's ears.
"Look, Nanali, there's a big pearl over there!"
"Where?"
"It's ......... Ay? β
Fang Zheng turned his head, only to see that Kulia was excitedly pointing to a pool not far awayβββ of course there was nothing in it.
"How could it not be? I saw the ......... just now."
"Did you find anything?"
Fang Zheng glanced at the puzzled Kulia, and then looked at the three girls beside him, and all three of them shook their heads.
"I don't see any jewelry, brother."
"There's nothing unusual on the radar, master."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
"Be careful."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng also had a bottom in his heart, he raised his voice and said to the others.
"There's a big illusion here, you have to be careful to know that what you're seeing isn't necessarily real, understand?"
"Illusion?"
Hearing this, Ogelan couldn't help but tremble, she looked around vigilantly, and then quickened her pace to follow behind Fang Zheng and the others. She knew how powerful illusions were, and in the upper echelons of the world, they were often used as amusement or entertainment, to immerse people in endless pleasure and make their dreams come true. Although Ogeland has always looked down on these illusions, how terrifying they are, the elders of his own family have told them a thousand times. O'Gran wasn't a mage, nor was he a warrior, and he couldn't do anything to deceive others.
Soon, though, Ogeland turned his ears to reveal a puzzled expression.
"Hey......... Do you hear any sounds? β
"Voice?"
Hearing Augran's words, everyone was stunned, and Fang Zheng also frowned and listened attentively. Sure enough, there seemed to be a faint sound of staggering and noise not far away, giving the impression that there was a tavern or something bustling not far away. But......... There should be no one here.
"Fang, Mr. Fang!"
At this time, Kulia and Nanali also leaned over with pale faces, and it was no wonder that there were white bones everywhere here, and it was very infiltrating just by looking at them. At the moment, such a ......... suddenly appeared.
"Everybody be careful, don't run around.
Hearing this voice, Fang Zheng's face was also slightly gloomy, and then he stretched out his hand and cast a protective barrier. However, Fang Zheng also knew that this kind of thing was of little use to illusions. Illusion is different from enchantment, which is more akin to hypnotism, and can be resisted as long as you wake the recipient up or are prepared. But the former is more akin to panoramic VR, which doesn't act directly on you, but instead creates an illusion that your senses think is real. This illusion spell is simply impossible to resist unless you completely crack it.
Judging from the fact that this magic item can envelop such a large area of the sea, its illusion effect may have reached the level of the Nine Rings or even the Legend level, which indicates that this is likely to be an artifact or magic weapon. For Fang Zheng, this is quite a rare experience, he has been in the main world for a long time, and the only artifact he has ever seen is the sword of the Knight of Castina, but it was recovered by the goddess of order before he could see it clearly.
Although Fang Zheng now has treasures such as "Zero Hour Fan" and "Forbidden Whip" in his hands, he doesn't know how much role these treasures can play in the main world, and now that he has the opportunity to get an artifact, he naturally won't let go of this opportunity.
And as everyone approached, the noise became clearer and clearer.
"Hey, guys, what good stuff did you get today?"
"The handsome guy over there? Would you like to come in and have a drink? β
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! β
"Damn it, what the fuck are you doing!!"
If you just close your eyes and listen to all this, you will only feel like you are on a busy street. But when you open your eyes and see nothing but bones and ruins, the sounds in your ears are a little chilling.
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fangzheng, let's go back........."
At this time, Kulia and Nanali were already hugging each other tightly, and although Miss O'Grande beside them was also pale, she didn't know if it was because of the pride of the nobles or because she didn't want to lose face in front of Fangzheng, she still tried to persevere. And even so, she quietly approached Black Katy.
In any case, in the current environment, a priest always makes people feel at ease.
"It's like some kind of illusion......"
Fang Zheng became cautious at this time, and he could clearly hear the sound of the wagon trying through the street, and he could even hear a horse snorting not far in front of himβββ as if there was really a horse there!
"Knock knock!!"
Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps from behind everyone, which also made Fang Zheng and the others turn their heads to look behind themβββ there was naturally nothing, but at this moment, the voice in their ears suddenly changed.
"What's going on? What are the soldiers trying to do? β
"Wait, over there......... Not good, run! Ahhhh β
"You bastards, do you know who I am? How dare you do it here! β
"Don't be verbose, there is an order from above, anyone who tries to seize the goods will be killed!"
"Nonsense, it's clear that you want to swallow these treasures for yourself............!!"
"Killβββ!!"
"Runβββ!
For a while, the noisy but peaceful voice in everyone's ears suddenly turned into a fight that made people's hearts palpitate, roaring and screaming. The sound of swords clashing, the sound of magic exploding, and the wails and screams of people before they die. made everyone feel as if they were in the middle of the battlefield, and with the white bones and wreckage around them, it made people tremble.
"Mr. Founder.........
At this time, Kulia and Nanali couldn't even walk.
"Well, there won't really be a ghost here.........
"I didn't feel the breath of the necromancy, it was just a sound."
As a former "paladin", Fang Zheng was still very familiar with this aspect, and although these voices sounded terrifying, he could feel that there was no necromantic aura here. But even so, Kulia and Nanali still looked scared.
"But, but I can't walk......... Mr. Fangzheng, both of my legs are starting to go limp........."
Although the two little girls looked pitiful, Fang Zheng only shrugged his shoulders and walked straight forward. Tilia smiled and glanced at the two of them, then followed, watching the sound of everyone leaving, Kulia and Nanali looked at each other helplessly, and could only support each other and continue to move forward. Otherwise, if you stay here, I am afraid it will be even more dangerous.
There were constant killing shouts all over the way, and from these shouts, everyone had roughly guessed that these sounds were probably from the massacre that Captain Fox had spoken of before. Even if you can't see any pictures, these sounds alone are enough to make people feel frightened and tremble.
It's weird.........
Walking in front, Fang Zheng frowned while listening carefully to the killing shouts in his ears.
Originally, he came here to venture out just out of curiosity, but now, Fang Zheng found that this place was getting weirder and weirder!
