This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 422

town Hall.

"Where did your lord go? I have something to ask His Majesty Ji Chen, and I said that guests from the Elven Empire came to visit."

The municipal staff used a flat but polite tone, taking the trouble to be authentic.

"Your Excellency the Elf, the city hall has already heard of your appeal, and I have already informed Lord Willus of this matter. Please go back and wait patiently for our notice."

Hearing that it was like a repeating machine, with a template reply that was not the slightest difference from the last inquiry, Hurley gritted her teeth angrily, but she didn't dare to do anything, so she left angrily.

A few days ago, she was entrusted by the elf queen Latifa to disguise herself as an elf businessman from the elf empire and came to the crown of the ocean, hoping to meet the powerful young lord of the crown of the ocean.

According to her expectation, when she arrives, she will definitely receive a warm welcome and be treated as a guest of honor by Ji Chen's side.

But in fact, let alone a warm welcome, she went to the city hall several times and got a bad nose. Those human beings either waited patiently, or went back and waited for the notification, but she couldn't reveal her identity, she could only hide her identity. Tears eat this loss.

She remembered this hatred!

She, Hurley, was the High Priest of the Elf Empire, a close friend of the Elf Queen, and she was treated like this in a small territory.

When she sees Ji Chen, she must speak ill of human beings!
Hurley returned to the hotel room where she was staying temporarily, and as soon as she locked the door, the whole elf suddenly revealed its original shape, and the body fell backward on the soft bed, and the mind was instantly emptied.

But then, as if she remembered something, she stood up and took out the space treasure, and dumped all the coins inside on the bed.

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

Hurley carefully pinched these things with her emerald white fingers. The copper-smelling things that she usually despised, her beautiful face gradually showed a bit of panic and despair.

Nine gold coins, I can't even live here for a week!

In the elven empire, she is a high elven high priest, with the blood of a noble priest family, and she has never worried about money since she was born, and she has blurred the meaning of money.

As a result, when she left the empire, she didn't even think about bringing some money out, only a small amount of gold coins that she didn't know when to put in the space treasure could still be used.

It would be fine if she could meet Ji Chen as soon as she came to the Crown of the Ocean, then the remaining gold coins could be used as a boat ticket for her to buy back.

But let alone go back now, I haven't even seen the real master, and I have spent most of my time here in this cramped 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!

Hurley took the gold coins back to the Space Treasure with a sad face, and began to think about some heresy ways to survive.

I heard that there is an elf tribe who settled in the crown of the ocean. If it is really impossible, why not go to these tribes to sell and sell, eat and drink?

Hometown Island.

Seeing this old dwarf and a young dwarf who came out from between humans and elves, both humans and elves were a little surprised, and the human leader couldn't help being surprised.

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

The elf leader also persuaded: "Go back quickly, the nobleman is looking for the power tree."

Judging from the tone of the two chiefs, the old dwarf seemed to have some prestige among humans and elves.

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

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

The human leader hurriedly said.

"My lord, we all call him Old Duke. He is the person who has stayed the longest on his hometown island. Before everyone came here, Old Duke had already lived here."

"Old Duke's forging ability is good. Usually we collect metal from outside and forge him into various tools, farm implements and weapons. Everyone respects him."

"The dwarf was named Gavin, the child of a dwarf couple who strayed into the Dead Sea a few years ago, but they were attacked by sea beasts and died when they went out to sea, so the old Duke adopted the little Gavin who was left behind. "

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

Ji Chen waved his hand indifferently, his face changed slightly, it seems that these humans and elves don't know the strength of this dwarf.

"It's okay, I'll ask in person."

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

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

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

Hearing what the little man said, Ji Chen couldn't help but couldn't help crying, and couldn't help asking from the side.

"Alice, do I look scary?"

Alice blinked Kazilan's big eyes, looked at Ji Chen whose skin was fairer and smoother than that of an elf, and his face was vague, but there was a calm prestige between his brows, and shook his head slightly.

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

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

Alice pursed her lips and laughed.

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

"My lord, my name is Duke. This is my adopted child Gavin. I want to ask you one thing."

Ji Chen turned his head and said unhurriedly.

"Is there anything an epic cannot do?"

Duke was silent for a while, and smiled wryly: "It seems that this cannot escape your eyes, my lord. I did this only to bring little Gavin to live here peacefully. It is a helpless policy."

Ji Chen nodded thoughtfully. A dwarf and a dwarf live in a place where most of them are humans and elves. If they want to live in peace, hiding their power is indeed a way.

But he didn't care too much about it, he said lightly.

"As for the request, I have nothing to do with you, and I am not a selfless and kind person. I have no obligation to help you. You should know this."

The old Duke nodded, "Of course I know this, so I brought enough bargaining chips. I know an island with more than [-] divine power trees growing there."

A bit of intense interest flashed in Ji Chen's eyes. Adding the [-] power trees to the original [-], the target of [-] has already been exceeded.

"State your request."

The old Duke looked happy, looked at the little Gavin who was hiding behind, and begged, "Please step aside and talk."

Ji Chen paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

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

They even thought they had heard it wrong.

But after seeing the old Duke's confession, his face changed drastically.

He has been diligently forging iron for decades, besides taking a walk with the dwarves on weekdays, he is a scruffy old dwarf who lives in a dilapidated workshop. He turned out to be an epic powerhouse!
What kind of bloody plot is this!

These humans and elves quickly thought about whether they had spoken disrespectfully to old Duke, or had acted in a way that made things difficult.

The old Duke took little Gavin by the hand and led Ji Chen not far away, said in a deep voice.

"My lord, I know that you have a way to freely enter and exit the Dead Sea."

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 materials you exchanged with humans and elves just now contained a lot of weapons and equipment. I can tell at a glance that those weapons and equipment are all made of dwarven forging techniques. It should be the forging technique of the dwarves of Black Iron Castle."

Ji Chen was slightly startled, "You know Black Iron Fort?"

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

"Is it because a Balrog above the epic destroyed the Black Iron Fort?"

Old Duke suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he said in shock, "How did you know that!? That happened thousands of years ago!"

An epic-level dwarf, also from the Black Iron Fortress, has greatly narrowed the scope.

"And your name isn't Duke, it's Deod Black Iron, isn't it?"

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

Back then, there were three epic dwarf powerhouses in Black Iron Castle, one was Tomodo who escaped by chance, the other was Claudio Black Iron who defended Black Iron Castle and finally died in the secret room, and the last one was In the former words, Deod Black Iron who was besieged by the fraudster.

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

But Deod Black Iron, who was besieged by the fraudsters, did not see his body, or the definite evidence of his death, even Claudio Black Iron did not see his death with his own eyes.

The basis for judging death is only its disappearance.

Herein lies the doubt.

The answer is obvious.

The old Duke's performance confirmed this point even more.

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

The dwarf's face sometimes showed sadness, sometimes resentment, and sometimes blamed himself, and the little face was full of worry.

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

Hearing little Gavin's words, Deod was a little more awake, took a deep breath, and touched his head with trembling hands, "Grandpa is fine, just tired from standing."

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

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

Ji Chen said calmly.

"These are all told to me by another member of your clan. Do you still remember Tomodo Black Iron?"

Deod was taken aback, his expression became excited, "Tomodo is still alive!? Could it be that he has been to the Black Iron Fort and knew everything that happened thousands of years ago? Great, I knew this kid was destined to die It is impossible to die so easily, how is he now?"

Seeing that Deod became more and more excited, Ji Chen could only speak.

"Tomodo is now in my territory. He has become a teacher who teaches the art of forging, and he has also accepted an apprentice. He is in good spirits."

Hearing that his best friend not only did not die, but that his life seemed to be going very well, the dwarf, one of the three epic tiers of the Black Iron Castle, showed relief and joy, as if he was really happy for his best friend.

"Your request should be to take that dwarf out of the Dead Sea?"

Deod nodded heavily, his eyes seemed to have light again, "That's right, little Gavin is still young, and there is still a long-term future, I can't let him stay in this dark place for the rest of his life like me, he should Enjoy the sun and sky."

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

Ji Chen said, "What about you?"

Deod shook his head, with a complex expression on his face, "I am no longer the high-spirited dwarf who dared to fight the Balrog. Since I survived by chance, I have fled all the way to the sea of ​​death, hiding here like a turtle shrinking its head. I dare not face those people who thought I died heroically with honor."

"I don't have the face to see Tomodo." Deod smiled self-deprecatingly.

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

At this time, the dwarf Gavin ran back holding a small bench staggeringly, put down the bench, and pulled Deod to sit down. It would be extremely rude to sit in front of the reader, but this is what his favorite child wants.

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

Then, under the surprised eyes of the two dwarves, one old and one young, they gathered a chair and sat down gracefully.

Deod stared at him with wide eyes, not knowing how Ji Chen did it.

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

He knew that this human being determined the future fate of little Gavin.

Whether to be trapped in this hopeless sea with him, a corrupt and despicable sloppy dwarf who is about to fall into the ground, or go to the outside world to enjoy the sunshine and blue sky and become a great dwarf who can tap his full potential.

It's all in the hands of this human being.
