The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

town Hall.

"Where has your lord gone? I have something to ask His Majesty Ji Chenmian, so I said guests from the Elf Empire are here to visit."

The municipal staff used a calm yet polite tone and took the trouble to be honest.

"Your Majesty the Elf, the City Hall has been informed of your request. I have also informed Lord Velus of this matter. Please go back and wait patiently for our notification."

Hearing this reply, which was like a repeater and was no different from the previous inquiry, Hurley gritted her teeth angrily, but she didn't dare to do anything, so she had no choice but to leave in anger.

A few days ago, she was entrusted by the Elf Queen Latifah, disguised as an elf businessman, and came all the way from the Elf Empire to the Crown of the Ocean, hoping to meet the powerful young lord of the Crown of the Ocean.

According to her expectation, she would receive a warm welcome upon her arrival, be treated as a distinguished guest and be received by Ji Chen's party.

But in fact, let alone a warm welcome, she went to the city hall several times but was met with disappointment. Those humans said they were either waiting patiently or going back to wait for notification, but she couldn't reveal her identity, so she could only keep silent. I suffered this loss with tears.

She remembered this grudge!

She, Heli, was the high priest of the Elf Empire and a close friend of the Elf Queen, yet she was treated like this in a small territory.

When she sees Ji Chen, she must speak ill of humans!

Hurley returned to the hotel room where she was staying temporarily. As soon as she locked the door, the entire elf suddenly revealed its original shape. Her body fell backwards on the relatively soft bed, and her mind was instantly empty.

But then she seemed to remember something, stood up, took out the space treasure, and dumped all the coins inside on the bed.

"One gold coin, two gold coins, three gold coins, only three gold coins left!?"

Hurley carefully picked up these with her emerald-white fingers. She usually looked down upon the bronze-smelling things, and her beautiful face gradually showed a bit of panic and despair.

Nine gold coins, you can't even survive a week here!

In the Elf Empire, she is a high-ranking Elf High Priest. She has the blood of a noble priest family. She has never worried about money since she was born, and she has also blurred the meaning of money.

This led to the fact that when she left the empire, she didn't even think about taking any money with her. She only had a small amount of gold coins placed in the space treasure that she didn't know when she could still use.

If she could see Ji Chen as soon as she arrived at Ocean Crown, then the remaining gold coins could be used as a ticket that she could afford to buy back.

But let alone go back now, I haven't even seen the real owner. I spent most of the time here staying in this cramped and small room, eating the worst food in order to save money.

If Ji Chen doesn't come back to see her, she will starve to death here!

With a sad face, Hurley took the gold coins back to the space treasure, and began to think about some other ways to survive.

I heard that there is a tribe of elves who have settled in the Crown of the Ocean. If that doesn't work, why don't she go find these same tribes and work hard for them to eat and drink?

Home Island.

Seeing this old and young dwarf walking out between humans and elves, both humans and elves were a little surprised, and the human leader couldn't help but say in surprise.

"Old Duke, why did you come out? Go back quickly and don't offend the noble man."

The elf leader also advised: "Go back quickly, the noble man is looking for the divine power tree."

Judging from the tone of the two leaders, this old dwarf seems to have some prestige among both humans and elves.

The old dwarf called Old Duke shook his head and held the dwarf's hand, with some hesitation on his face.

Ji Chen signaled them to stop persuading them, "Who is this dwarf?"

The human leader said quickly.

"Sir, we all call him Old Duke. He is the person who has stayed on his hometown island the longest. Before anyone came here, Old Duke was already living here."

"Old Duke has good forging ability. We usually collect metals from outside and forge them into various tools, farm tools and weapons and equipment for him. Everyone respects him."

"The little dwarf's name is Gavin. He is the child of a dwarf couple who strayed into the sea of ​​​​death a few years ago. However, they were attacked by sea beasts and died when they were out at sea. Old Duke adopted the little Gavin who was left behind. "

The human leader paused, a little confused, "Old Duke usually stays in his workshop. I don't know why he came out today. I hope this didn't offend you. We will persuade him."

Ji Chen waved his hand nonchalantly, his face changing slightly. It seemed that neither humans nor elves knew the strength of this dwarf.

"It doesn't matter, I'll ask in person."

The human leader and the elf leader looked at each other, "Yes!"

Ji Chen walked over with his hands behind his back. Little Gavin hid behind Old Duke with some fear, "Grandpa, this human being is a little scary."

Old Duke touched his head and comforted him: "It's okay, grandpa will protect you."

When Ji Chen heard what the dwarf said, he couldn't help but laugh or cry, and he couldn't help asking sideways.

"Alice, do I look scary?"

Alice blinked Kazilan's big eyes and looked at Ji Chen, whose skin was fairer and smoother than that of an elf. His face was angular, but there was an air of composure between his brows, and she shook her head slightly.

"My lord, you are not scary at all."

Ji Chen smiled and shook his head, "I guessed that Alice would definitely say that."

Alice pursed her lips and smiled.

Old Duke comforted little Gavin, looked at this human being whose strength was unfathomable even to him, and took a deep breath before saluting.

"Sir, my name is Duke, and this is my adopted child, little Gavin. I want to ask you something."

Ji Chen turned around and said unhurriedly.

"What is there that an epic can't do?"

Duke was silent for a moment and said with a wry smile: "It seems that this cannot escape your eyes. I only do this to bring little Gavin to live here peacefully. It is a helpless strategy."

Ji Chen nodded thoughtfully. A dwarf and a dwarf lived in a place where most of them were humans and elves. If you want to live a stable life, hiding your power is indeed a way.

But he didn't care much about this and said calmly.

"As for the request, I have no connection with you, and I am not a selfless good person. I have no obligation to help you. You should know this."

Old Duke nodded, "Of course I know this, so I brought enough chips. I know an island where more than 5,000 divine trees grow."

Ji Chen's eyes flashed with intense interest. The five thousand divine power trees, plus the original six thousand, had exceeded the goal of ten thousand.

"Say your request."

Old Duke's face lit up, he looked at little Gavin who was hiding behind him, and begged: "Please step aside and talk."

Ji Chen paused slightly, then nodded slightly.

When the humans and elves present heard Ji Chen say that Old Duke was an epic, they all fell into doubt, confusion, and shock without exception.

They even thought they had heard wrongly.

But after seeing Old Duke admit it, his expression changed drastically.

The sloppy old dwarf who has been diligently forging iron and forging for decades beside him, who usually walks with the dwarf and lives in a shabby workshop, turns out to be an epic-level strongman!

What a bloody plot is this!

These humans and elves quickly thought about whether they had ever spoken harshly to Old Duke or acted in any way to make things difficult for him.

Old Duke took little Gavin in hand and led Ji Chen not far away, saying in a deep voice.

"Sir, I know you have the means to enter and leave the Sea of ​​Death freely."

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes, "How do you know that I can come in and out freely?"

"At first I was just guessing, but just now I was sure."

Old Duke paused and said, "The supplies you just exchanged with humans and elves contained a lot of weapons and equipment. I could tell at a glance that those weapons and equipment were all made with dwarf forging skills. To be more specific, that It should be the forging technique of the dwarves of Black Iron Castle."

Ji Chen was slightly shocked, "Do you know Black Iron Castle?"

Old Duke was silent for a moment and sighed: "To tell you the truth, I was a member of the Dwarf Black Iron Castle before, but I came here because of an accident."

"Is it because an epic flame demon destroyed the Black Iron Castle?"

Old Duke suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of disbelief, and said in shock: "How do you know!? That was thousands of years ago!"

An epic-level dwarf who was born in Black Iron Castle has greatly reduced the scope.

"And your name is not Duke, but Deod Kurogane, right?"

This time, Old Duke's face full of vicissitudes of life changed drastically, his eyes were bloodshot, as if the biggest secret buried in his heart had been dug out, and his emotions fluctuated violently.

There were three epic dwarf warriors in the Black Iron Castle at that time. One was Tomodo who narrowly escaped death when he went out. The other was Claudio Black Iron who defended the Black Iron Castle and eventually died in the secret room. The last one was In the words of the former, Deod Kurogane was surrounded by deceivers.

According to Tomodo, Claudio Kurogane's body was in the secret room, and his death was definitely true.

However, Deod Kurogane was surrounded by the deceiver, but he did not see his body or the definite evidence that he was dead. Even Claudio Kurogane did not see his death with his own eyes.

The basis for judging death is simply its disappearance.

This is where the doubt comes in.

The answer is clear and obvious.

And Old Duke's performance confirmed this point.

Ji Chen was not in a hurry and waited for Deod to calm down.

The dwarf looked at his face, which sometimes showed sadness, sometimes resentment, and sometimes self-blame. His little face was full of worry.

"Grandpa Duke, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

After hearing little Gavin's words, Deod woke up a little, took a deep breath, and touched his head with trembling hands, "Grandpa is fine, he's just a little tired from standing."

"Then little Gavin will go home and bring you a bench." Little Gavin believed it and innocently ran home. Deod didn't have time to catch him and could only watch his little body gradually run away.

Deod looked at little Gavin leaving, was silent for a moment, and sighed heavily, "How do you know about Black Iron Castle and about my name?"

Ji Chen said calmly and calmly.

"These are all told to me by another of your tribe. Do you remember Tomodo Kurogane?"

Deod was stunned, and his expression became excited, "Tomodo is still alive!? Could it be that he has been to Black Iron Castle and knows everything that happened thousands of years ago? Great, I knew this kid was destined to die. It's impossible for him to die so easily. How is he doing now?"

Seeing Deod getting more and more excited as he spoke, Ji Chen could only say.

"Tomodo is now in my territory and has become a teacher of blacksmithing. He has also accepted an apprentice. He is in good spirits."

Hearing that his best friend was not dead, but was living a very good life, the dwarf, one of the three epic levels of Black Iron Castle, showed relief and happiness, and seemed to be truly happy for his best friend.

"Your request should be to take that dwarf out of the sea of ​​death, right?"

Deod nodded heavily, and his eyes seemed to have light again, "Yes, little Gavin is still young and has a longer future. I can't let him stay in this dark place like me all his life. He should Enjoy the sun and sky.”

"So I beg you, please take little Gavin away and send him to Tomodo. Little Gavin has a forging talent that surpasses mine. If Tomodo can cultivate it, he will definitely become one of the greatest in history." Dwarf Blacksmith!”

Ji Chen said: "What about you?"

Deod shook his head, his face a little complicated, "I am no longer the high-spirited dwarf who dared to fight the Balrog. Ever since I was lucky enough to survive, I have escaped all the way to the Sea of ​​Death and hid here like a turtle shrinking its head. I dare not face those tribesmen who thought I died heroically with honor."

"I don't have the face to see Tomodo." Deod smiled to himself.

The hero who was thought to have died heroically by all the dwarves was actually too scared to come back. This kind of thing would make anyone lose the courage to go back.

At this time, the dwarf Gavin ran back staggeringly holding a small bench, put the bench down, and pulled Deod to sit down. Deod looked a little embarrassed, in front of a strong man who could easily see through him. It would be extremely rude to sit down in front of someone, but this was what his favorite child wanted.

Seeing his embarrassment, Ji Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, sit down."

Then, under the surprised gazes of the two dwarves, an old man and a young man, they gathered a chair and sat down gracefully.

Deod watched with wide eyes, not knowing how Ji Chen did this.

In the end, little Gavin sat on the small bench, while Deod sat on a water chair where Ji Chen gathered again, sitting upright.

He knew that this human being determined little Gavin's future fate.

Should he be trapped in this hopeless sea with this rotten and despicable sloppy dwarf who is about to die, or should he go to the outside world to enjoy the sunshine and blue sky and become a great dwarf who can tap his full potential.

It all depends on this human hand.
