This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 178 Alchemy Death Cannon, Treasure Key Fragment, Gloria
But to Ernesto's great disappointment, he didn't know this person at all.

As a goblin merchant trading between the coasts of the Mediterranean and the various islands, he has made many enemies over the years, but few have come to revenge.

Although Ernesto is very greedy and cunning on the outside, he is smart enough on the inside.

Formidable forces and races, it would never provoke them at all, and because of the power of the goblins, although they were disgusted, most of them would not take down their faces and take revenge.

And those low-strength, indifferent forces, after being bullied, did not dare to retaliate because of the powerful force of the goblins, so they could only suffer secretly.

It can be said that the goblins are in an ecological niche that is extremely suitable for them to survive.

No matter how Ernesto recalled, it couldn't remember when it provoked such a strong man.

It was an old man with a stooped figure and a rather old appearance, with more wrinkles on his face than a goblin. He was wearing a luxurious velvet robe, holding a gemstone staff, and strong mana surged around him.

What a strong man at first glance.

It took less than three seconds for Ernesto's expression to change from anger to surprise to respect.

Regardless of the howling goblins and the mess, he ran to the deck in a hurry, looked in awe, and saluted the old man from afar.

"My lord, I don't know why you suddenly attacked us? There doesn't seem to be any hatred between us."

But the old man didn't answer, and didn't move. His cloudy eyes looked at it intentionally or unintentionally, but it gave it great pressure.

After a long time, the old man spoke slowly.

The old hoarse voice came clearly and audibly.

"Oh? Are you sure?"

Ernesto was taken aback for a moment. It had a very good memory, and it had never seen this strong man, let alone provoked it.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he forced a smile, "I'm sure I haven't seen you, sir, are you mistaken?"

Seeing Ernesto's reluctant face, the old man smiled secretly.

This old man was naturally Ji Chen. Not long after he sent the lobster knight to follow Ernesto, he followed after him. He didn't show up until the goblin merchant ship left the stormy sea and away from the crown of the ocean.

This old man's appearance is naturally a 7-star treasure, the ability of the false mask.

The skill cover of the false mask can perfectly change his body shape, appearance, voice, etc., almost turning him into another person.

In order to act better, Ji Chen specially disguised himself as a powerful old man, and the effect was very satisfactory, scaring Ernesto right away.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a unique hoarse voice sounded.

"I don't think I made a mistake. Do you remember what you did before? For profit, you killed my descendants."

Ji Chen intentionally made things very vague.

Sure enough, Ernesto was stunned when he heard this, and his face became ugly. He couldn't remember how many people he had killed on his own initiative because of his own interests.

Naturally, he regarded the old man as one of his elders and came to seek revenge.

Damn!

I didn't expect those muddy legs to exist and be protected by such a strong person, its luck is too bad!
Thinking of this, Ernesto looked even more respectful, and lowered his posture very low.

"This strong man, please listen to my explanation."

"Oh? What else can I explain?" Ji Chen said calmly without changing his face, as if he was convinced of you.

Seeing this, Ernesto became more convinced, flatteringly said: "I feel very sorry and guilty about what happened, but after all, death cannot be resurrected, and even if you kill me, you can't let your descendants survived."

"Once you kill me, you will inevitably be hated by some goblins, so the benefits of killing me are the lowest."

"So, you might as well let me live. I am willing to pay compensation for my recklessness, so as to clear my crime."

"Oh?" A thoughtful look appeared on Ji Chen's face, pretending to be thinking about this statement.

But I laughed in my heart.

This is exactly what he wants.

Killing Ernesto directly is actually the lowest-yielding option.

As long as it can be disguised perfectly, this greedy goblin can spit out things with interest, and even get more things.

"It makes sense. Although what you killed was one of my thousands of descendants, and it wasn't outstanding, it hurt my face after all, and I must be punished."

"I have long heard that goblins are good at trading and have a lot of good things in their hands. If you can come up with something that satisfies me and redeem your crimes, it won't be a big deal to spare you."

Hearing this, Ernesto was overjoyed and nodded quickly.

"I will not let you down, my lord! You are guaranteed to be satisfied!"

"Hurry up and lift out the No. 7 box!!"

The goblin merchant ship looks terrible from the outside, but in fact the damage to the inside of the hull is not very serious, and the crane and the opening of the cargo hold can still function normally, so we have to praise the goblin technology.

The hull is like this, and the harder cargo box is only slightly damaged on the outside.

After hoisting the No. 7 cargo box, Ernesto opened it immediately, and after a little hesitation, he used the key to open the cabinet on the right side of the first row.

He took out a piece of exquisite parchment and introduced it with both hands.

"My lord, this is a 5-star architectural blueprint, please take a look at it"

Hearing this, Ji Chen had a flash of interest, and slightly raised his staff.

The parchment flew up and floated in front of it.

[Architectural Blueprint: Alchemy Death Cannon]

【Grade】: Five-star
[Effect]: Can launch alchemy shells, causing huge explosion damage to the enemy

[Resources required for construction]: 3 units of iron, 1 units of crystal, 1 units of mithril, 1 units of fine gold

【Occupation area】: 30×30×75
【Attack range】: 100~5000 (meters)

[Explosion range]: Radius 75~100 (meters)

Yo, good stuff.

Compared with the Elemental Arrow Tower, which is also a five-star building, it is not inferior, and it is even better in attack range and killing range.

"Well, it's not bad." Ji Chen said lightly, put the drawings in his bag, and then put them back into his backpack, "What else?"

Ernesto's expression gradually froze.

Instantly understood that Ji Chen wanted more.

I suddenly scolded a greedy guy in my heart, isn't a five-star architectural drawing not enough?
But after all, its life is in the hands of others, so it has to put a smile on its face.

"Ahem, of course there are."

Ernesto turned around, and with trembling hands, opened the first row of cabinets on the right with the key.

He took out a golden crystal that was as big as a head.

"Ahem, this is an energy gemstone produced in the Dos Santos Mine in the Western Continent. A normal energy gemstone the size of half a fist is enough to provide energy consumption for a goblin merchant ship's route for several months."

"This extraordinarily huge energy gem can even serve as the energy center of an alchemy workshop, and its value is comparable to dozens of ordinary merchant ships full of cargo."

Ji Chen was slightly surprised, and also took this energy gem.

Feeling the majestic energy contained in it, he nodded in satisfaction.

"not bad."

Putting it in his bag, Ji Chen looked at Ernesto again.

Meaning, what else?
Seeing this, no matter how hard the greedy goblin endured, he couldn't help becoming angry.

Is there anyone who bullies goblins like this?
A 5-star architectural blueprint and a huge energy gem can't satisfy the appetite of this bad old man!

This is more greedy than it!
Finally, Ernesto couldn't help but said: "My lord, I think these two things are enough to make up for your loss, you see"

"Don't you think my face is only worth these two broken things?"

It's Mother Goblin's!

It's a broken thing, but how can you get it in your pocket with such quick hands and feet! ?
Although I don't know how many times it was, Ernesto couldn't help but secretly cursed at Ji Chen for being shameless and thick-skinned.

"Of course not. I am willing to pay you more. Please calm down."

Ernesto turned around with a sad face, directly opened the remaining two cabinets in the No. 7 cargo box, and took out the remaining two items.

One is the core of the tyrannical mosasaur recruitment camp, and the other is a piece of metal fragment, there is nothing strange about it

This made Ji Chen curious. The other three things, the 5-star architectural blueprint, the energy gem, and the core of the fifth-tier recruiting battalion are all very precious things, and what kind of capital does this fragment have, can it be placed together with them in 7 Inside the cargo box.

[Gloria Elf Treasure Key Fragment]

[level]: special
[Description]: Gather 7 pieces of key fragments, you can synthesize a complete key, and open the door of Gloria's elf treasure house
A key shard from Gloria's elf treasury?
He was confused.

Perhaps seeing Ji Chen's confusion, the greedy goblin merchant gritted his teeth as if resigned to his fate.

"My lord, if you stop here after taking these four items, then I will tell you about this key fragment!"

Ji Chen looked at it and squinted his eyes, thinking about it.

said slowly.

"Okay, as long as you tell me this information, I will promise in the name of Gaspar Nuniz, and let it go."

Hearing this, Ernesto was overjoyed, the strong are very concerned about their own reputation, if they guarantee it in their own name, then it should be true.

It nodded quickly, tried its best to mobilize the memory in its mind, and said.

"This key fragment was bought by accident from the son of a down-and-out human nobleman when I was traveling in the Northern Continent. That human nobleman who was addicted to gambling sold it to the I didn't know that he sold the qualification to enter an elf treasury!"

"According to the ancient books that have been handed down, Gloria is an ancient elf city. It is said that it was one of the three main cities of the ancient elves tens of thousands of years ago when the various clans were still fighting for hegemony. It can be said to be the current city. One of the beginnings of the origin of the elves."

"However, this ancient elf city has already been lost in the long river of time due to various reasons such as wars. It is difficult to leave a trace, and it has been lost in front of the world. Even the current elves may not be able to restore it. find out."

"As one of the three main cities, even if it is lost, there are still some things inside, such as powerful alchemy techniques from ancient times, rare elven treasures, and strategic facilities that cannot be moved."

Speaking of this, Ernesto's eyes flashed with greed, "What's more, according to records, there is an extremely well-preserved elf treasure house in Gloria, which stores countless strategic materials.
It is rumored that whoever can obtain the strategic materials in this treasure house can build an empire out of thin air, arm millions of soldiers, and dominate the continent. "

"Therefore, having such a treasury key fragment is equivalent to obtaining the qualification to enter the treasury, and its value is inestimable."

And such a thing?
It can arm millions of soldiers, and even directly establish an empire, how terrifying is the amount of materials in the treasure house?
When it said this, Ji Chen couldn't help thinking about it.

But reacted quickly.

"If you say that, why don't you open it yourself?"

Hearing this, Ernesto looked embarrassed, and said falteringly: "Since this elf city has been lost, then we don't know where it is at all. Even the descendants of the ancient elves, the elves can't find it now." Come out, not to mention other races."

"Moreover, 7 key fragments are needed to open the treasure house, one of which is preserved by me. As far as is known, two are in the hands of the elves, one is in the hands of the dwarves, and one sank in the West Land decades ago. somewhere in the ocean."

"There are two other pieces. There is no news yet. They are probably buried in a corner of this world."

"And if the elves know that this key is in my hands, they will definitely send thousands of troops to hunt and kill me."

Ernesto said plainly, feeling a lot more relaxed. Although he was a little bit reluctant, the piece of hot taro was finally given away.

Hearing this, Ji Chen's expression darkened. Didn't the elves know that they were also coming to hunt him down?
But after thinking about it, he looks like a bad old man named Gaspar Nuniz, so what does he have to do with Ji Chen?

It's not a big problem, but in order to keep the news confidential and [-]% safe, we still have to deal with the relevant personnel who know the news
Ernesto looked at the expressionless Ji Chen and asked cautiously.

"My lord, I've said everything I know. Look, can you let us go now?"

Ji Chen smiled slightly, "Of course I can, I am a person who keeps my promise, if I say let you go, I will let you go."

"Thank you sir!"

"Everyone who is not dead, return to my post, pull the power of the energy engine to the highest level, and leave at full speed!!"

The goblin merchant ship spewed out plumes of white smoke again, and sailed towards the distance at a speed that could only wish to install two more propellers.

Ji Chen stayed where he was, watching the goblin merchant ship drifting away, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
