This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 168 Conditions, Tomodo's Compromise

"Can you two stop for a while? I have some questions I want to ask you."

Ji Chen's words made Erin and Tomodo stop. After all, Ji Chen was the first person to come here in thousands of years, and he was their only hope of getting out of trouble.

Erin took the lead and said, "If you have any questions, just ask, as long as you can get out of this damn place."

Seeing this, Ji Chen nodded, and expressed the doubts in his heart: "For what reason were you imprisoned in this prison? Or what crime were you imprisoned for?"

"Prison?" Erin raised her eyebrows immediately, "Where did you hear that this is not a so-called prison at all! It's the place where the perverts are used to detain experimental subjects! It's an experimental workshop!"

"The metal cage that locks us can continuously absorb our energy, maintain and repair the seal. Not only has it not been weakened for thousands of years, but it has also been strengthened a lot. It is simply inhuman!!"

"More importantly, I didn't do anything wrong at all! At most, I just scolded that pervert a few times in person, and then I was caught and locked up here! Just a few words, I was locked up for thousands of years !! What is the crime of this!!!”

The more Erin spoke, the more excited she became, and the grief and innocence on her face almost overflowed, which showed the heavy grievance in her heart.

Hearing this, Ji Chen was also a little confused.

He was imprisoned for thousands of years after just swearing a few words?This is too miserable.

"What about Tomodo?"

Hearing this, the dwarf Tomodo also said quietly.

"I didn't do anything, I just stole a few materials from that pervert."

Although Tomodo's face was equally aggrieved, Ji Chen had a faint feeling that the so-called materials should be something unusual.

"Who is the pervert you are talking about?"

"An extremely perverted old lich! The creatures and races imprisoned here, except for a small part who were captured innocently, are all its experimental subjects and materials."

hiss~
Ji Chen has heard of liches, one of the supreme forms of life among the undead. Every lich is a powerful undead spellcaster, and is also very good at experimenting with transformation and evil spells.

Ji Chen pointed to the hideous bug in the distance.

"What is that just?"

"It's a cub of a void reptile. It can walk freely in the void, and its vitality is extremely strong. It was already there when we came here, and it is now dormant."

Walk freely in the void?

Ji Chen's eyes became a little awed, the void is not suitable for living things at all, it is full of cracks and vortexes in the void, if one is not careful, it will be swallowed and cut.

Even in the cub form, this kind of void reptile is tens of meters long, and it is unknown how terrifying the adult form will be.

"Then that snake-tailed creature with wings?"

"I know!"

This time, Tomodo started to rush to answer, but Erin gave him a hard look, but said indifferently, "It's called Selim Angel."

"It is a Haiyuan Naga whose blood has mutated. It has been locked here before we came. It is estimated that it must have been tens of thousands of years. It chose to enter deep sleep 300 years ago to delay Loss of vitality."

Haiyuan Naga?

Isn't that somewhat related to the Naga Berserker?
Ji Chen nodded clearly.

But even so, he was still very shocked.

To be able to capture Erin at level 79 epic level, Tomodo at level 78 epic level, and so many seemingly strong and scary creatures to be imprisoned here, the strength is really unimaginable.

What concerned him the most was whether the Lich was still alive?
If it knows that its experimental workshop has been invaded, wouldn't Ji Chen be imprisoned here as well?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

When he asked this question, Erin and Tomodo waved their hands indifferently, "The perverted lich never appeared again after locking us in, maybe he died outside, after all Even a powerful lich would not be willing to abandon so many experimental materials."

When Ji Chen heard it, he felt that what he said was quite reasonable.

In addition to the void reptile and Haiyuan Naga, in the hundreds of metal cages here, except for a dozen or so that are empty, dozens of various strange creatures and races are imprisoned.

It took a lot of energy and time for the lich to catch them.

Thinking a lot, Ji Chen pondered for a moment and said, raised his head, his eyes were like torches: "How can I save you?"

Hearing this, Eileen and Tomodo's eyes lit up, and infinite surprises appeared on their faces.

said quickly.

"In a deeper place, there is the core laboratory of the Lich, and there are control switches to control the metal cage and seal here."

"However, before lifting the seal, you have to close the automatic defense magic circle left by that lich, otherwise you and us who are in the weak stage will be killed by the magic circle..."

Erin suppressed her excitement and excitement, and narrated as calmly as possible.

Seeing being able to get out of the cage and gain the long-awaited freedom, the performance of strong people like Erin and Tomodo is not much different from ordinary people.

The longer one lives, the more hopeless one feels in such a prison with no end in sight.

Ji Chen nodded, firmly remembering all the details that Erin said.

"That's all. In addition to these, the lich may have left some things in it. You can search for it."

Hearing this, Ji Chen's eyes lit up, is there something?Then he won't be sleepy.

A lich who can imprison so many powerful creatures must leave behind something good.

He is not greedy, just a few legendary treasures will do.

"Then there are no guards here?"

Erin shook her head, "No, that perverted lich is very confident in his seal, so he didn't leave any guards here."

"But if there is something to say, it seems to have created a batch of low-level mutated skeletons in the secret realm of the original skeletons outside to cover up and protect the existence of this experimental workshop."

"Since you can come in, you should have encountered it before."

Mutated skeleton?

Ji Chen suddenly realized that those mutated skeletons were made by a lich, no wonder even Sorin attacked them.

He suppressed his thoughts and looked at Erin and Tomodo again with serious expressions.

"Next, it's time to talk about the rewards I can get for helping you out of trouble."

Hearing this, the elves and dwarves also became serious. They naturally know that there is no pie falling from the sky, and there are gains and losses in everything.

Erin pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "The reward I said before is still valid, I can give you two powerful seven-star treasures, once I get rid of the suppression here and recover a certain strength, these two treasures can pass Take out the void tunnel."

"Other than that, you should be a lord, right?" Erin's eyes flashed shrewdness.

Ji Chen nodded irresistibly.

Seeing this, Erin became more confident.

"In this case, you said before that the elves have established a fairly tyrannical empire, so as a lord, shouldn't you refuse the help and support of an elf empire?"

Even Ji Chen had to admit that this condition was very important, and he had no doubts about the truth of Erin's statement.

The help of the Elven Empire, even if only for a short period of time, is enough to allow the Crown of the Ocean to take off.

It was an offer he couldn't refuse.

But this is not enough!
Looking at the confident Erin, Ji Chen slowly shook his head.

"In addition to these, I have one more condition."

"What is it?"

Erin is worthy of being an epic-level elven hero, she didn't change her face after hearing this, and she was very decisive and authentic.

"If my territory or me is caught in some kind of devastating crisis that I can't deal with, then you have to do everything you can to solve it once."

"Oh?" Erin narrowed her eyes, and agreed after thinking for a moment, "Okay, I promise you this condition."

"I swear by the name of the elf hero: Erin Apocalypse, when you or your territory is in crisis, I will do my best to solve the crisis for you. Is this enough?"

The long time of imprisonment made her yearn for freedom extremely. No one knew how terrible it was to be trapped in this palm-sized cage for thousands of years, and there was a chattering dwarf, which made her almost crazy .

Now seeing the hope of going out, her bottom line has been reduced to the lowest.

Seeing that Erin readily agreed, Ji Chen also nodded, without putting forward any more conditions.

The so-called need to grasp an appropriate scale between obtaining benefits and making friends with the strong.

After completing the transaction with Erin, the next step is Tomodo the Dwarf.

"Is it my turn? Hurry up!" Seeing that the little bitch Erin was able to go out, Tomodo was naturally anxious and kept urging like a naughty boy.

Ji Chen had no choice but to walk over helplessly, "Your Excellency Tomodo, you can state your conditions now."

"I definitely don't have treasures and the like." At the beginning, Tomodo said confidently, "Since Pointy Ears agreed to the previous promise, then naturally I can't be left behind. I can help you build five treasures, the highest level 6 stars, as long as it is something I can build."

"The highest treasure is less than 6 stars? Isn't the 7-star treasure okay?"

"Hey humans! Do you think the 7-star treasure is a Chinese cabbage on the street? Even if it is a legendary blacksmith, it takes a lot of energy to create a 7-star treasure!"

"It makes sense, but didn't you say that you could help build ten pieces? Why did it shrink in half?"

"Ahem, it's just a quick talk." Tomodo blushed, and said cheekily: "I'm so old, making ten pieces of you is killing me!"

Erin was right, the dwarves were really a duplicity race, and they couldn't be easily believed.

Ji Chen thought for a while, and asked Anina to bring the dragon-slaying sword and the broken tip, "Your Excellency Tomodo, can you repair this treasure?"

When Tomodo saw the dragon-slaying sword, his interest immediately became interested. Although he couldn't touch it because of the seal, his eyes lit up. He stared closely, and soon his expression relaxed, "Of course, although The damage is quite serious, but it's still relatively intact, and it's not a big problem for me."

Hearing this, Ji Chen also smiled, "The restoration of this great sword will be regarded as the first treasure."

"Then next is the second condition"

"I want you to teach Ocean Crown part of your forging skills!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" As soon as the words fell, Tomodo almost jumped up, and immediately refused with a swollen face and throat.

"The forging technique of the dwarves must not be passed on to the outside world!!!"

Ji Chen looked as expected, and Tomodo's reaction was very intense.

The dwarves were notoriously stubborn and selfish, and they would not be willing to ask them to forge some equipment at a high price, let alone teach them the forging skills to settle down to other races.

"So I'm just talking about a part of it. I don't need advanced ones. I only need the lowest level of forging skills, and I will keep it absolutely secret."

"That's not okay!! No matter how much it is, it is against the ancestor's precepts!!!" Tomodo did not let go, holding his chest and blowing his beard and staring.

"That's it, then we can't continue talking." Ji Chen shook his head with pity and regret, turned and walked away slowly.

"Hey, hey, human, don't go." Seeing Ji Chen walking away, Tomodo became anxious immediately, and said loudly: "Only this is not allowed, other than this, everything else is fine!"

"Apart from the art of forging, is there anything else you can give me?" Ji Chen turned around and asked back.

"I have, yes." Tomodo blushed suddenly, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of any other conditions he could give.

"Look, you can't even tell yourself." Ji Chen shrugged, then turned and walked away.

They called everyone at the crown of the ocean and headed for the core laboratory, going farther and farther.

Seeing this, Tomodo became completely anxious, and shouted with widened eyes: "I can create six treasures for you!"

Ji Chen didn't look back.

"Seven pieces!"

"Eight pieces, that's the most!"

Ji Chen remained indifferent and kept walking.

"Nine pieces. Ten pieces!"

"Eleven is always ok!?"

Ji Chen still didn't look back, and even talked and laughed with Alice and the others.

"Thirteen pieces, fifteen pieces!! Okay, okay, I promise you that's it!!!"

Ji Chen raised his right hand to stop the crowd, walked back with a smile, and met Tomodo's ugly face.

"Ah, Your Excellency Tomodo is really a very generous and helpful dwarf."

"I'm really happy to have such a dwarf friend, it's my luck."

Tomodo stared, ignored these flamboyants, gritted his teeth and said with a stern face: "Sly human! I knew you were scaring the great legendary blacksmith Tomodo!"

After saying a few words angrily, Tomodo calmed down.

Ji Chen said with a bitter conscience: "Think about it from another angle, isn't it worthwhile to use some low-level forging techniques to release the thousands of years of imprisonment?"

"If you hadn't met me today, you might have been imprisoned here alone. If there is no accident, you will be hard to escape forever. Your powerful forging skills will be buried in this cold place forever. Isn't it a pity? "

After some flattering explanations, Tomodo seemed to have calmed down a bit.

But he was still dissatisfied and said: "It's really eloquent, human beings really like to quibble."

Seeing this, Ji Chen smiled again.

"Add one additional condition, you are not allowed to attack me and my army after you get out of trouble."

Tomodo's eyes widened again, and finally he hugged his chest, curled his lips and said, "Hmph, the great legendary blacksmith Tomodo doesn't bother to attack a group of weak people!"
