The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

"Can you two stop for a moment? I have some questions for you."

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

Erin jumped the gun and said, "Ask me if you have any questions, as long as you can get out of this damn place."

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

"Prison?" Erin suddenly raised her eyebrows, "Where did you hear that this is not a so-called prison at all! It is a place where the pervert used to imprison experimental subjects! It is an experimental workshop!"

"The metal cage that locks us in can continuously absorb our energy, maintain and repair the seal. Over the past thousands of years, not only has it not become weak, it has also been strengthened a lot. It is simply inhumane!!"

"More importantly, I didn't commit any crime at all! At most, I just scolded that pervert a few times in front of his face, and then I was caught and locked up here! Just a few words, and I was locked up for thousands of years. !!What’s the crime?!!!”

The more Erin spoke, the more excited she became. The grief, anger 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 just for scolding a few words? This is too tragic.

"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 looked equally aggrieved, Ji Chen had a vague feeling that the so-called materials were not ordinary.

"Who is the pervert you are talking about?"

"An extremely perverted old lich! Except for a small number of the creatures and races imprisoned here who were innocently captured, the others are all its experimental subjects and materials."

Hiss~

Ji Chen had heard of creatures like lichs. They were one of the highest forms of life among the undead. Each lich was a powerful undead spellcaster and was also very good at experimenting with transformations and evil spells.

Ji Chen pointed at the ferocious-looking insect in the distance.

"What's that just?"

"That is the cub of a void reptile. It can walk freely in the void and has extremely strong vitality. It was already there when we came here and is now dormant."

Walking freely in the void?

Ji Chen's eyes became a little awed. The void was not suitable for living things to survive at all. It was full of void cracks and whirlpools. If you were not careful, you would be swallowed and cut.

Even in its cub form, this void reptile is dozens of meters long, and there is no telling how terrifying its adult form will be.

"What about that snake-tailed creature with wings?"

"I know!"

This time Tomodo started to answer, but Erin glared at him fiercely, but said indifferently: "It's called Selim Angel."

"It's an Abyssal Naga whose bloodline has mutated. It has been locked up here before we arrived. It must have been at least tens of thousands of years. It chose to enter deep sleep three hundred years ago in order to Delay the loss of vitality.”

Abyssal Naga?

Doesn't that have something to do with Naga Berserker?

Ji Chen nodded clearly.

However, despite this, he was still very shocked.

Being able to capture and imprison the level 79 epic Erin, the level 78 epic Tomodo, and so many powerful and terrifying creatures here is really unimaginable.

What concerned him the most was, was the lich still alive?

If it knew that its experimental workshop had been invaded, wouldn't it mean that Ji Chen would be locked up here too?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.

When he asked this question, Erin and Tomodo waved their hands indifferently, "The perverted lich has not appeared since he locked us in. He might have died outside. After all, Even a powerful lich would not be willing to abandon so many experimental materials."

When Ji Chen heard this, he thought it made sense.

In addition to the void reptile and the abyssal naga, among the hundreds of metal cages here, except for a dozen that are empty, there are also dozens of various strange creatures and races imprisoned.

I think the lich spent a lot of energy and time catching them.

After thinking a lot, Ji Chen pondered for a moment and then raised his head, his eyes burning: "How should I save you?"

Hearing this, Erin and Tomodo's eyes lit up, with infinite surprise on their faces.

He said quickly.

"Deeper there is the lich's core laboratory, which contains the metal cage and seal control switches that control this place."

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

Erin suppressed her excitement and excitement and spoke as calmly as possible.

When they saw that they could escape from the cage and gain the long-awaited freedom, strong men of Erin and Tomodo's performance were no different from ordinary people.

The longer one's life span is, the more hopeless one feels in being imprisoned with no end in sight.

Ji Chen nodded and remembered all the details that Erin said.

"That's all. Apart from these, the lich may have left some things inside. You can search for them."

Hearing this, Ji Chen's eyes lit up. Is there something? He won't feel sleepy anymore.

A lich that could imprison so many powerful creatures must have left behind quite a few things.

He is not greedy either, just a few legendary treasures will be enough.

"Then there aren't any guards here?"

Erin shook her head, "No, that perverted lich was very confident in his seal and did not leave any guards here."

"But if we insist on saying that there is one, it seems to have created a batch of low-level mutant 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 created by lichs. No wonder even Thorin attacked them.

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

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

Hearing this, the elves and dwarves also looked serious. They naturally knew that there was no pie falling from the sky, and there were gains and losses in everything.

Erin thought for a moment and said slowly: "The rewards I said before still stand. I can give you two powerful seven-star treasures. Once I break away from the suppression here and regain a certain strength, these two treasures can pass. Take out the void tunnel."

"Besides, you should be a lord, right?" Erin's eyes flashed with shrewdness.

Ji Chen nodded in disbelief.

Seeing this, Erin became more confident.

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

Even Ji Chen had to admit that this condition was very important, and he had no doubt about the authenticity of what Elin said.

The help of the Elf Empire, even if it is 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!

Ji Chen looked at the confident Erin and slowly shook his head.

"Besides these, I have one more condition."

"What is it?"

Erin is worthy of being an epic elf hero. Her expression did not change after hearing this, and she was very decisive and authentic.

"If my territory or I fall into some kind of devastating crisis that I can't handle, then you have to do your best to solve it."

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

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

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

Now that she sees hope of getting out, her bottom line has been reduced to the lowest level.

Seeing that Elin readily agreed, Ji Chen nodded and did not put forward any more conditions.

It is said that a suitable scale must be grasped between obtaining benefits and making friends with strong people.

After completing the deal with Erin, the next step is the dwarf Tomodo.

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

Ji Chen had no choice but to walk over with a look of helplessness on his face, "Your Excellency Tomodo, you can tell me your conditions."

"I definitely don't have any treasures or anything like that." From the beginning, Tomodo said confidently, "Since Pointy Ears has agreed to his previous promise, then naturally I can't be left behind. I can help you create five treasures, the highest level. 6 stars, as long as I can create it."

"The highest treasure is below 6 stars? Isn't it possible to use 7 stars?"

"Hey humans! Do you think 7-star treasures are just cabbage on the street? Even a legendary blacksmith needs to spend a lot of energy to create 7-star treasures!"

"It makes sense, but didn't you say before that you could help make ten pieces? Why did you just shrink it by half?"

"Ahem, it's just a quick talk." Tomodo blushed and said shamelessly: "I'm so old, if you build ten of them, it will cost me my life!"

Erin is right, dwarves are a race that always speaks and cannot be trusted easily.

Ji Chen thought for a while and asked Anina to take the dragon-slaying sword and take out the broken tip. "Sir Tomodo, can you repair this treasure?"

As soon as Tomodo saw the dragon-slaying sword, his interest suddenly arose. Although he couldn't touch it because of the seal, his eyes lit up and he stared at it closely. His expression soon relaxed, "Of course, although The damage is quite serious, but it’s still relatively intact, so it’s not a big problem for me.”

Hearing this, Ji Chen also smiled and said, "Repairing this sword will be considered the first treasure."

"Then the second condition comes next."

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

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" As soon as he finished speaking, Tomodo almost jumped up, blushed and immediately refused in a loud voice.

"The forging skills of the dwarves must not be spread to the outside world!!!"

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

Dwarves are notorious for their stubbornness and selfishness. They are usually unwilling to pay large sums of money to beg them to forge some equipment, let alone teach other races the forging skills that they rely on to make a living.

"So I'm just telling 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 confidential."

"That's not okay!! No matter how much it is, it is against the ancestral teachings!!!" Tomodo did not relent, holding his chest and blowing his beard and staring.

"If that's the case, then we can't continue talking." Ji Chen shook his head with pity and regret, turned around and walked away slowly.

"Hey, hey, human, don't leave." Seeing Ji Chen walking around, Tomodo immediately became anxious and said loudly: "This is the only one that won't work. Apart from this, everything else will work!"

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

"I do, I do." Tomodo's face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't think of any other conditions he could offer.

"You see, you can't even tell it yourself." Ji Chen shrugged, turned and walked away.

He called everyone in the Ocean Crown and headed towards the core laboratory, going further and further away.

When Tomodo saw this, he became completely anxious and shouted with wide eyes: "I can make six treasures for you!"

Ji Chen didn't look back.

"Seven!"

"Eight pieces, this is the most!"

Ji Chen remained indifferent and kept walking.

"Nine pieces. Ten pieces!"

"Eleven items are enough, right?"

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

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

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

"Ah, Lord Tomodo is really an extremely generous and helpful dwarf."

"I'm so happy that I have such a dwarf friend. It's my luck."

Tomodo stared, ignoring the gossip, and gritted his teeth with a straight face: "Cunning human! I knew you were trying to scare the great legendary blacksmith Tomodo!"

After saying a few words angrily, Tomodo stopped.

Ji Chen said with a bitter conscience: "Think about it from another angle. Isn't it worth using some low-level forging techniques to lift the imprisonment of thousands of years?"

"If you hadn't met me today, you might have been locked up here. Unless something unexpected happened, you would have been unable to escape forever. Your powerful forging skills would have been buried in this cold place forever. Wouldn't it be a pity? "

The flattering explanation made Tomodo look a little less angry.

But he still said dissatisfiedly: "You are really eloquent. Human beings really like to quibble."

When Ji Chen saw this, he smiled again.

"Add another additional condition: you are not allowed to take action against me and my army after you escape."

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