Chapter 240 The more you show your strength, the weaker you will appear (please subscribe)

   A week passed in a blink of an eye, and when the port of Iyeta was developing rapidly, [Hadrata] Royal Capital, in a secret basement, William was shaking the scarlet wine glass in his hand, listening to the report of his subordinates.

"My lord, the fleet you sent to explore the sea of ​​mist has returned. According to their description, the fog there seems to have some new changes. The visibility is much higher than before, and the wind and waves on the sea seem to be less than before. It's so powerful..." A tall and thin man knelt down on the ground, respectfully telling William the information he had investigated.

  For sailors like them who often sail on the sea, the horror of the sea of ​​mist is naturally very clear. When the fog is at its thickest, the visibility is even less than one meter!

This means that on the same ship, the sailors can only see themselves surrounded by a strange white mist. They can't see the ship under their feet, let alone their companions. The only thing they can feel is I am drifting with the swaying of the ship, heading deeper into the fog!

  Anyone can't help but have the illusion that they are leading to hell.

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

  Listening to his subordinate's report, William narrowed his eyes, and paused for a while when shaking the wine glass in his hand.

   "My lord, could something be wrong with the wizard's land?" The tall and thin man asked cautiously.

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

Since this period of time, the boatmen who were stranded in Iyeta before have been sent back one after another, and most of the content reported to him is how fast the development of Iyeta Harbor is, so much praise that everyone It began to make him wonder if these people were affected by weird visual witchcraft, or if they were lying to deceive themselves!

   "Sometimes, the more you deliberately show your strength, the weaker you become..." There was a mocking smile on the corner of William's mouth.

From the descriptions of those boatmen, he also discovered an important piece of information, that is, a civil strife broke out in the city of wizards, Greenriel not long ago, and Lynn made a lot of contributions in that civil strife. Became the master of Iyeta Harbor.

  The current situation of the Sea of ​​Mists is likely to be related to that civil strife.

  Now the reports of those fleets undoubtedly support this point. The other party changed the trade from sea transportation to air-space airships to cover up this point!

   "Master William, what should we do now?" Cody couldn't help asking.

  William's eyes flickered, but he didn't respond for a long time.

   This news is undoubtedly very important, and I am afraid it cannot be concealed for too long.

The sea of ​​mist covers such a large area, and the conditions on the sea are harsh and changeable. Almost every year, a fleet will stray into it. If you are lucky and don't go deep into it, and you don't encounter a storm or the eye of death, there will be a slight chance able to come out alive.

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

   Only one opportunity is needed, and people's fear of the sea of ​​mist will be completely broken.

   He can imagine what will happen next, and the Holy See will never let go of the opportunity to completely eradicate these wizards!

  William's complexion changed again and again. He was unwilling to give up the huge profits brought by business every year, but he also knew that once the war broke out, the Land of Wizards would most likely be destroyed.

  After all, if these wizards have the ability to resist the Holy See, otherwise why would they hide on a small island outside the fog.

  The confidants gathered in the basement were also whispering underneath.

  In the Sekas Empire, everyone knows the horror of the Holy See. They used to work for Heran Ram in a sufficiently concealed and safe situation.

Now there are some great changes in the land of wizards. Even the most important barrier, the sea of ​​fog, will disappear. This has to make them have strange ideas. Some people even suggested whether to report this news to Cardinal Losak. grown ups.

  If they can follow the vines and even lead the fleet of the Holy See through the sea of ​​mist to find the island, then they will be able to make a great contribution, enough to make up for it, and even be granted a title to become a powerful grand duke.

  This temptation made the balance in William's heart slightly shaken. On the one hand, there is a huge profit of thousands of imperial gold coins every week, but it may be overturned at any time.

  The other side is the reward from the Holy See, an opportunity to become a great nobleman of the empire without having to hide in the future!

  William kept shaking the wine glass in his hand, and the scarlet liquid inside fluctuated just like his mood. "Cody, do you know that His Excellency Lynn, how many wizards have been transported by airship to the capital in recent days, and what are they doing?"

"A person named Lauder is now fully responsible for the transportation of goods. Lord Lynn does not allow us to interfere. Even the attendants who stay in the manor are restricted for various reasons. So until now their number and personnel composition are still unknown, I only know that each shipment will be about three to five days apart."

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

William sneered, it seemed that the new controller of Iyeta was not ready to trust himself at all, the shaking glass in his hand stopped, and then William drank the scarlet liquid inside, coldly Said.

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

   "I see!" Cody replied with his head bowed.

   "Master William, do you need to make an appointment with the Cardinal first?" A rogue-headed boatman asked abruptly.

   "No, now is not the time!" 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 Lynn, which means that they now lose the ability to find the island on the sea.

  If there is not enough merit to offset the previous 'fault', then after losing the value of use, the final fate will be obvious!

  So now they must get more information, at least to confirm when the airship will stay in the manor, there will definitely be a way to locate the wizard's land.

   If you can take advantage of this time and make a cut with these wizards, that would be great!
