The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Ji Chen nodded and did not rush to unlock the map. He put it in his backpack and continued to select the second item.

Objects that can be called rare treasures in the outside world are placed on the shelves. Any one of them is worth thousands of gold, and there are at least hundreds of them here, which is enough to show the heritage of an aboriginal family that has been passed down for thousands of years, not to mention those who have inherited it. It has been an aboriginal force for tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

This made him increasingly interested in the biggest reward of this war - one-tenth of the wealth of the Kingdom of Bath's treasury.

Not to mention anything else, there must be a lot of gold coins in it, enough to keep him full.

Finally, Ji Chen selected a rare architectural drawing.

[Architectural drawings: Heroes Fountain]

[Level]: 7 stars

[Effect]: ① Increase the probability of hero units being born in the territory

②Slowly increase the life potential of the people in the territory

Talent is always a valuable resource and can greatly promote the development of the territory.

The girl Lysa created the brewing industry in Ocean Crown, and the internal affairs officer Velus allowed him to put aside the complicated affairs of the territory and coordinate resources and construction with excellent efficiency. The half-orc hero Iona made potions that reduced the mortality rate of the people in her territory. Alice, Anina and other combat heroes accompanied him on his expeditions, killing countless enemies... These are enough to show the great role of heroic units.

The military technology tree can improve the level of heroes, but it cannot create heroes out of thin air.

The Hero Fountain can increase the probability of the birth of heroic units, which is of extraordinary significance to the Crown of the Ocean.

When Julius saw Ji Chen select this architectural drawing, his face showed that you really know what you are doing.

In terms of rarity, this drawing of the Hero's Fountain is enough to rank among the top five here.

…

The next day.

Ji Chen received news from someone sent by Julius that two fleets carrying thousands of elves had arrived in Trins City, which also meant that they were about to embark on their return journey.

After only stopping briefly to replenish fuel and supplies, the fleet set sail again with Ji Chen and his party.

Before leaving, Monica, this little girl, was still looking reluctant to leave, but she also knew that Ji Chen still had many things to do next. The residents of Ocean Crown needed him more than she did, and they could not stay here forever. , so she could only suppress the reluctance in her heart, raised a smile and waved goodbye to Ji Chen on the side of the ship.

Accompanied by the loud sound of the ship's whistle, the fleet slowly moved away from the mainland and gradually lost sight of the land.

Ji Chen stood at the bow of the ship, feeling the sea breeze blowing in front of him, and his heart was filled with happy emotions.

The harvest of Reinhardt's trip this time exceeded his previous imagination. Not only did he avenge the previous Kingdom of Bath, he also gained a large amount of wealth on this basis, and it also improved his own strength exponentially. .

It's like Qin Shihuang touching the wire - winning!

Ji Chen seemed to have remembered something. He opened his backpack and looked at the eight-digit gold coin balance, and the corner of his mouth curled up in pleasure.

This is only a small part of the tenth of the wealth of the Kingdom of Bath's treasury that Julius had previously promised.

Although the Kingdom of Bath has consumed more than 80% of the gold coins in the treasury to launch a war, the remaining 20% ​​is still a huge amount of wealth, with billions of gold coins, so one-tenth is Hundreds of millions of gold coins.

To be more precise, it is 698.68 million gold coins, which is nearly 700 million gold coins.

From a literal point of view, it is definitely a shocking number.

Ji Chen only took a small part of this wealth, and entrusted Julius to help exchange it and purchase rare resources for the rest before leaving.

He is not a dragon who likes to sleep in a mountain of gold coins. The gold coins themselves are of little significance to him. Only by turning them into various resources can they be better utilized.

These nearly 700 million gold coins are expected to bring him considerable tens of millions of units of rare resources.

The fleet sailed southeast on the sea for several days, gradually heading towards the middle of the western Mediterranean.

On this day, the Great Elder Margaery of Yougu Village came to Ji Chen.

The elderly elf, who was at least a thousand years old, looked a little anxious and asked in a puzzled tone.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, why don't we go directly to the Maple Forest Principality along the coastline of the Northern Continent? Instead, we have to go around in a big circle to get there?"

Ji Chen looked at Margery's impatient look and could somewhat understand her mood.

Isolated by hundreds of thousands from the world and separated from the main group for too long, they are naturally very anxious to see their fellow tribesmen outside.

Ji Chen smiled and comforted: "Your Excellency Margaery, it's not that I want to go around in a big circle, but I have to go around in a big circle."

As he spoke, he took out a map and pointed to a narrow sea area between the northwest and northeast of the Western Mediterranean, extending from the coast of the northwest continent to the middle.

"This narrow sea area is a restricted area of ​​life, known as the Sea of ​​Death. It was the place where gods fought hundreds of thousands of years ago, and there are rumors that gods died there."

"To this day, the remaining divine power is still raging there, and it is always shrouded in storms. The rough seas make it unsafe for navigation. For your safety, I can only let the fleet go around it."

Only then did Margery suddenly realize, with a little apology on her face, "I see, I misunderstood you."

Ji Chen waved his hand carelessly, "It doesn't matter, my plan is to go around and arrive at my territory for a while to rest and replenish supplies, and then go to the Maple Forest Principality."

Judging from the map, this narrow sea spans hundreds of kilometers and directly separates the east coast of the North Continent where the Maplewoods Principality and the Elf Empire are located from the east coast of the North Continent where Reinhardt, the Kingdom of Bass and other four countries are located. The northwest coast of the Northern Continent.

This forced countless merchant ships trading across the Mediterranean to take detours. Merchant ships trading east-west in the entire northern part of the Western Mediterranean had to travel southeast or southwest first, bypassing the southernmost end of the Dead Sea before continuing to sail normally. This An extremely prosperous route, which can be called the lifeline of trade, has been formed in the sea south of the Sea of ​​Death.

The stormy sea area where the Crown of the Ocean is located is located at a key node south of this route.

The Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce and the Kingdom of Bath have expressed great covet and desire for this place, and this is the reason.

Build a supply point here, and countless merchant ships will dock here for rest and supplies, and a lot of gold coins will be delivered directly to your door.

The fleet sailed on the ocean for four days and finally returned to the Crescent Islands.

When Ji Chen saw the appearance of the Ocean Crown, he looked a little stunned.

In just one month, a prosperous town that was no less than a small aboriginal town suddenly appeared in front of us. Eight streets large enough for four carriages to pass side by side extended in eight directions with the lord's castle as the center. On both sides of the streets were buildings. Buildings that have already been built or are under construction have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Regular stone-paved roads connect other important areas, connecting the port to the east and agricultural areas to the west. The road on the north side runs directly through the jungle, connecting kobold caves, several jungle plantations and grape plantations on the hillside. Together.

Such planned urban construction obviously owes much to Velus.

Velus came to report the situation in this month's territory as soon as Ji Chen returned.

The area under sea rice cultivation has expanded several times and can provide normal diet for tens of thousands of human residents. Plantation grapes grow quickly and it doesn’t take long for the first grapes to be harvested for wine making and more.

Velus reported truthfully.

"Lord, during the period when you were away, the territory exported a total of fifty-two ships of various specialties to the Maple Forest Principality and the elves, earning a total of 350,000 units of rare resources."

350,000 units of rare resources?

Ji Chen was not surprised. This number was almost the same as what he had estimated before. Now the main products exported by Ocean Crown are deep sea dragon silk, weapons and equipment accumulated by lizard people, specialty coffee beans and precious jungle trees. In the future, As production capacity is further expanded and quality is further improved, export benefits will also increase.

Moreover, the territory now also has wine and dwarf weapons, two ace industries that have not yet been developed. These will also be two products that will make money every day in the future.

The future is promising.

"Sir, Your Excellency Tomodo asked you to go to the underground world of lizardmen after you come back. He said that he has created the alchemy weapon of the third blueprint, as well as an alchemy ship that can operate underwater."

Velus continued.

Ji Chen nodded slightly in surprise. Unexpectedly, after going out, Tomodo actually realized what he described before. He was indeed a legendary dwarf blacksmith.

"I know, I will find time to go there."

Ji Chen casually took out the drawing of the Hero Fountain and said, "Coordinate resources and manpower to build it. This is very important to the territory."

Velus took it respectfully, and his face lit up after seeing the drawing clearly.

This is a good thing, it can increase the chance of hero units being born. If there are a few more internal affairs heroes, they can handle the increasingly busy territorial affairs. Moreover, I heard that the Lord has also acquired a piece of land in the Principality of Reinhardt on the mainland, and internal affairs heroes are also needed there.

"Yes, I will start work as soon as possible."

After listening to Velus's report, Ji Chen took Alessiya and left the lord's castle after handling some matters that required him to make his own decisions.

The elves in Glen Village have been arranged into houses specially designed to receive guests. These elves who have lived in the ice fields since childhood were very surprised and delighted by the beautiful environment of the Crescent Islands. With Ji Chen's permission, they formed groups to go out for fun. , there are many more silver bell laughter of elves on the island.

Alicia, the elf hero who had lost her memory, followed Ji Chen, her eyes full of curiosity as she looked at the place where she would live in the future.

"Brother, are we going to live here from now on?"

"Yes, this is my territory. Alessia, you will consider this place your home from now on."

Alessia nodded obediently, "This will be my home from now on!"

Ji Chen thought for a while, opened the military technology tree, and went to Alesiya's page.

【Alessia】

[This hero has the blood of ancient elves and has strong potential, but is currently in a sealed state and his level remains at the red heritage level]

[You need to consume enough resources to unlock the seal]

[Resources required]: 5 million units of crystal, 5 million units of mithril, 5 million units of fine gold

To break Alesiya's seal requires a full 15 million units of resources. This order of magnitude is even millions more units than Alice's promotion to the legendary level, which is enough to show how powerful this ancient elf bloodline is.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen asked in a relaxed tone.

"Alessia, do you want to manage internal affairs, or do you want to be a combatant?"

Without any hesitation or hesitation, Alessia said in a positive tone: "I want to become a warrior."

"Can you tell me why?"

"Because I want to protect you, brother." Alessiya's dark obsidian eyes looked at Ji Chen closely, "If you don't fight, then you, brother, sister Alice, and sister Anina will have to distract themselves from protecting me. , I don’t want you to worry about me, and I don’t want to be a burden to you.”

Ji Chen was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect this to be the reason.

"Although Sister Alice said that I have forgotten many things, even if she told me, I still can't remember them."

"But one thing I still remember is that my brother saved me at that time, otherwise I would have died long ago, or I would have perished in the ice crevices." Alessia's eyes were full of seriousness, " I want to do something for my brother.”

There was one thing in Alesiya's blank mind that she had never forgotten, and that was the warmth that the ill-fitting coat brought to her in the freezing cold.

That was something she would never forget.

Ji Chen was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

Seeing this, Alecia laughed out loud, her eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.

Ji Chen touched her little head and said with a smile: "Since you want to become a warrior, Alessia, then I will entrust an elf who is good at fighting to teach you."

…

Elf Ruolin looked at Alecia who was hiding behind Ji Chen and looking at her curiously, with some confusion on her cold face.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, you asked me to teach Alecia how to fight?"

"That's right."

A look of "Are you kidding me" suddenly appeared on Ruolin's face.

When Alesiya became the strongest elf warrior in Rivendell Village and had high hopes from all the elves, she was still practicing hard on her entry-level archery skills. Is it too much to ask her to teach an elf hero?

Ji Chen coughed twice, "Actually, after Alecia lost her memory, perhaps because she fell into madness for a long time, she seemed to have forgotten all her previous fighting and archery skills."

"And there happens to be no instructor who is good at archery in my territory, so I can only ask you."

Ruolin suddenly understood and saw a trace of pity flashing in Alessia's eyes without any hesitation.

"There is no problem with this. I will try my best to teach Alesiya in the few days before I leave."

Two days later.

Alessia jumped and moved between trees at high speed, but she quickly raised the bow in her hand, squeezed it with her right hand, and a red elemental arrow was suddenly generated.

"Explosive arrow."

With a cold and cold expression on his face, he muttered softly and let go of the right hand holding the arrow.

The red arrow with a blazing temperature disappeared with a red trail. A big tree in the open space two hundred meters away suddenly burst open as if it was hit by a cannonball. Sawdust and sparks were flying in the sky, leaving only The next big hole.

"Good arrows!" Ji Chen clapped his hands and walked forward, praising with a smile.

Alessia's cold expression quickly melted, and she jumped down from the tree with some embarrassment, "Hey..."

Ruolin looked at Alessia with a look of admiration on her face.

He sighed.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, I think I have nothing to teach Alessiya."

Alesiya's performance in the past two days allowed her to see what talent is and what heroic potential is.

In just a short time, Ruolin had already discovered that she had nothing left to teach Alessia. Alessia could master all the fighting skills in a very short time, and used them more skillfully and accurately than she did.

These fighting skills have not been completely forgotten by Alecia, but are hidden deep in the body and soul, and they are just resurrected at this time.

And Alesia, who has been promoted to the red heritage level, will only become more powerful than before.
