The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

But what made Ernesto extremely disappointed was that he didn't know this person at all.

As a goblin merchant who trades between the Mediterranean coast and various islands, he has incurred many enemies over the years, but few will seek revenge.

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

It will not provoke powerful forces and races at all, and because of the power of the goblin clan, although they are disgusted, most of them will not lose face and retaliate.

And those forces with low strength, neither superior nor inferior, were oppressed and 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 goblin clan is in an ecological niche that is extremely suitable for their survival. They are respectful at the top but unruly at the bottom, and live a very nourishing life.

No matter how Ernesto recalled it, he could not remember when he had provoked such a powerful person.

It was an old man with a stooped figure and a rather old appearance. His face had more wrinkles than a goblin. He was wearing a luxurious velvet robe, holding a gem staff, and strong mana surged throughout his body.

At first glance, he looks like a strong man.

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

Ignoring the wailing goblins and the mess everywhere, he quickly ran to the deck, looked in awe, and saluted the old man from afar.

"Dear Sir, 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 or move. His cloudy eyes looked at it intentionally or unintentionally, but it put great pressure on it.

After a long time, the old man slowly spoke.

The old hoarse voice came over clearly and audibly.

"Oh? Are you sure?"

Ernesto was stunned. It had a very good memory and had definitely never seen this strong man, let alone provoked him.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he forced a smile and said, "I am sure I have never met you, sir. Have you admitted your mistake?"

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

This old man was naturally Ji Chen. Not long after he sent out the Lobster Knight to track Ernesto, he followed up with him. He didn't appear until the goblin merchant ship left the stormy waters and far away from the Crown of the Ocean.

This old man's appearance is naturally the ability of the 7-star treasure, Mask of Falsehood.

The masking skill of Mask of Falsehood 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 ideal, scaring Ernesto immediately.

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 the sake of profit, you actually killed my descendants."

Ji Chen deliberately made the matter very vague.

Sure enough, Ernesto was stunned when he heard this, and his face became ugly. He could no longer remember how many people he had actively killed for profit.

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

Damn it!

I didn't expect those mud-legged existences to be protected by such a strong person. Its luck is too bad!

After thinking this, Ernesto looked more respectful and lowered his posture.

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

"Oh? Is there anything else that can be explained?" Ji Chen said calmly without changing his expression, as if he was sure of you.

Seeing this, Ernesto became even more convinced and said flatteringly: "I feel very sorry and guilty that something like that happened, but after all, there is no resurrection after death. 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 to clear my guilt."

"Oh?" Ji Chen had a thoughtful look on his face, pretending to be thinking about this statement.

But I laughed in my heart.

This was just what he wanted.

Killing Ernesto directly is actually the option with the lowest return.

As long as he can disguise himself perfectly, he can make this greedy goblin spit out things with interest, and even get more things.

"That makes some sense. Although the person you killed was one of my thousands of descendants and there was nothing remarkable about it, after all, you have damaged my face and must be punished."

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

Hearing this, Ernesto felt happy and nodded quickly.

"I will definitely not let you down, sir! I guarantee your satisfaction!"

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

The goblin merchant ship looks terrible from the outside, but in fact the damage to the interior of the hull is not very serious. The crane and the cargo hold opening can still operate normally. This must be praised for the goblin technology.

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

After hoisting container No. 7, Ernesto immediately opened it. After a slight 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, held it in both hands and introduced it.

"Sir, this is a 5-star architectural drawing, please take a look at it."

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

The parchment flew up and floated in front of him.

[Architectural Drawings: Alchemical Death Cannon]

[Level]: five stars

[Effect]: Can launch alchemical cannonballs, causing huge explosion damage to the enemy.

[Resources required for construction]: 30,000 units of iron, 10,000 units of crystal, 10,000 units of mithril, 10,000 units of fine gold

[Occupied area]: 30×30×75

[Attack range]: 100~5000 (meters)

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

Yo, good stuff.

It is not inferior to the Elemental Arrow Tower, which is also a five-star building, and is even better in terms of 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 in his backpack, "What else?"

Ernesto's expression gradually solidified.

It was instantly clear that Ji Chen wanted something more.

I immediately cursed the greedy guy in my heart. Isn't a five-star architectural drawing 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 opened the cabinet on the right side of the first row with the key with trembling hands.

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

"Ahem, this is an energy gem. It comes from the Dos Santos Mine in the Western Continent. An energy gem half the size of a fist is enough to provide a goblin merchant ship with route energy consumption for several months."

"This extremely huge energy gem can even serve as the energy center of an alchemy workshop. Its value is comparable to dozens of ordinary merchant ships loaded with cargo."

Ji Chen was slightly surprised and also took the energy gem.

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

"not bad."

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

I mean, what else?

Seeing this, this greedy goblin couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, no matter how hard he endured it.

Is there anyone who bullies goblins like this?

A 5-star architectural drawing and a huge energy gem are not enough to satisfy this bad old man's appetite!

This is even more greedy than that!

Finally, Ernesto couldn't help but said: "Sir, I think these two things are enough to make up for your loss, you see."

"Do you think my face is only worth these two pieces of shit?"

It's the goblin mother's!

It's said to be a piece of junk, but why did you pick it up so neatly with your hands and feet? ?

Although he didn't know how many times it was, Ernesto couldn't help but secretly curse Ji Chen for his shamelessness and shamelessness.

"Of course that's not the case. I'm willing to pay you more. Please calm down."

Ernesto turned around with a sad face, opened the remaining two cabinets of container No. 7, and took out the remaining two items.

One is the core of the violent mosasaur recruitment camp, and the other is a metal fragment. There is nothing strange about it.

This made Ji Chen curious. The other three things, the 5-star architectural drawings, the energy gems, and the core of the fifth-level military recruitment camp, are all very precious things. What kind of capital does this fragment have? It can be placed together with them in 7 Inside the cargo box.

[Gloria Elf Treasure House Key Fragment]

[Level]: Special

[Description]: Collect 7 key fragments to synthesize a complete key and open the door to Gloria's elf treasure house.

The key fragment of Gloria's elf treasure house?

He was confused.

Perhaps seeing Ji Chen's confusion, the greedy goblin businessman seemed to have accepted his fate and gritted his teeth.

"Sir, if you don't want to stop after taking these four things, then I will tell you the information about this key fragment!"

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes as he looked at it and made some mental calculations.

Said slowly.

"Okay, as long as you tell me this information, then in the name of Gaspar Nuniz, let's stop."

Hearing this, Ernesto felt happy. Strong people are particularly concerned about their reputation. If it is guaranteed in his own name, then what he said should be true.

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

"This key fragment was accidentally acquired from the son of a down-and-out human nobleman when I was traveling in the Northern Continent. The human nobleman who was addicted to gambling sold it to him for only 5 gold coins. Little did I know that he sold his qualification to enter an elf treasure house!"

"According to the ancient books handed down, we know that Gloria is an ancient elf city. Legend has it that in the ancient times when various races were still fighting for hegemony, it was one of the three main cities of the ancient elf clan hundreds of thousands of years ago. It can be said that it is now One of the origins of the elves."

"But this ancient elven city has already gradually declined in the long river of time due to wars and other ethnic reasons. It is difficult to leave a trace and is 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 preserved in it, including powerful alchemy technology from ancient times, rare elf treasures, and immovable strategic facilities."

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 contains 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 gaining the qualification to enter the treasury, and its value is inestimable."

Is there 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 but have thoughts in his mind.

But he reacted quickly.

"If that's what you said, then why don't you turn it on yourself?"

Hearing this, Ernesto looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Since this elf city has been lost, then we don't know where it is at all. Even the descendants of the ancient elves can't be found by the current elves. Come out, let alone other races.”

"Furthermore, seven key fragments are needed to open the treasure house. One of them is kept here. Currently, it is known that 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 still two other pieces. There is no news about them yet. They are probably buried in some corner of the world."

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

Ernesto said politely, feeling much relieved. Although he was a little reluctant to part with it, the piece of hot taro was finally given away.

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen's face darkened. If the elves knew this, wouldn't they also come to hunt him down?

But after thinking about it, he now looks like a bad old man named Gaspar Nuniz. What does he have to do with Ji Chen?

The problem is not big, but in order to keep the news confidential and 100% safe, we still have to deal with the relevant people who know the news.

Ernesto looked at the expressionless Ji Chen and asked cautiously.

"Sir, I have said everything I know. Look, can you let us go now?"

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

"Thank you, sir!"

"Everyone who is not dead should return to their posts, turn the power of the energy engine to the highest level, and leave at full speed!!"

The goblin merchant ship once again blew out plumes of white smoke and sailed toward the distance at a speed that made it wish it had two more propellers.

Ji Chen stayed where he was, looking at the goblin merchant ship moving away, with a sneer on his lips.
