The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Gilder looked at them with contempt, turned around and said respectfully.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, since we have finished our preliminary discussions, I will not bother you anymore and leave first. I will visit you with gifts next time when I have time."

"After all, 40% of the long-term cooperation is not a small amount. I will go back immediately to complete the follow-up matters as soon as possible and improve our cooperation as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the other businessmen's eyes suddenly widened.

You are so damn greedy!

If one person ate 40% of the portion, wouldn't he be afraid of choking to death?

Facts have proved that Gilder is really not afraid. Not only does he have extremely strong financial resources, but he also has extremely broad connections. He is protected by the top leaders of the Maplewood Principality.

"That's fine. I will stay here in the Northern Continent for a while and welcome Lord Gilder to visit again."

Gilder nodded, bowed once more, turned around, and left surrounded by many servants.

Knowing that Gilder had already completed the negotiation one step ahead of them and snatched away a full 40% of the share, the remaining businessmen were heartbroken and looked at each other with a bit of hostility in their eyes.

It seems even more urgent.

Nowadays, every businessman in Maplewood Port knows that as long as they get the weapons and equipment of Ocean Crown and transport them to the north, they will definitely make money.

They must grab as much of the remaining 60% as possible.

If you don't grab it, others will grab it.

It's more uncomfortable for others to make money than for them to lose money!

Inexplicably.

In the hall with only a dozen people, a burst of gunpowder smoke suddenly set off, becoming somewhat filled with gunpowder.

After learning that Ji Chen was the real speaker, everyone immediately gathered around with smiles on their faces.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, I am the president of the Xuelin Chamber of Commerce and I have very strong funds. You must be right to choose me as your partner."

"Your Excellency, we have more than ten ocean-going ships with strong transportation capabilities. We can transport goods directly from your territory."

"I have a wide network of contacts and can ensure that your business runs smoothly in Maplewood Port."

Looking at the businessmen with flattering smiles on their faces and vying to talk, Ji Chen suddenly felt a lack of interest.

Due to the previous discussion with Gilder and the long journey, I finally felt a little tired at this time.

So he waved his hand to call Raymond over and said.

"I give you full authority to allocate the remaining shares of weapons and equipment. From now on, you will also be responsible for matters related to the Crown of the Ocean."

"I'll go up and rest first. Just tell me the results tomorrow."

Raymond was stunned for a moment, with a surprise on his face.

Give him full authority to handle such an important business worth tens of millions of gold coins?

What a trust! ?

This is something that only core members, no, confidants can do!

Ji Chen stood up and patted his shoulder: "Don't let me down."

Trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, Raymond said with a grateful and serious expression: "I will not betray your trust, and I will definitely complete this matter beautifully."

Ji Chen nodded slightly, walked away in full view of everyone, and disappeared at the end of the stairs.

The businessmen watched the whole process and gathered around with eager eyes.

Raymond was surrounded by many businessmen, his eyes were brighter than ever and his expression was high.

An extremely desolate wilderness.

A rather short but extremely strong figure slowly stopped.

All around, dozens of huge desert waves with fierce faces and bodies as big as calves surrounded them.

Looking at the figure in front of them, the saliva in their mouths is constantly secreting, and hunger is vigorously impacting their sanity.

The figure slowly raised his head. There was no trace of fear on the face of the rough beard under the cloak. He looked at the giant wolves around him with no emotion in his eyes. The giant hammer on his shoulders was also lowered and hit the ground. There was a very dull sound.

However, these could not scare the giant wolf who had been hungry for several days.

This heavy sound was like a stone, breaking the last string of the giant wolf's reason.

Roar~

Dozens of giant desert wolves rushed forward, intent on tearing this figure into pieces.

"A bunch of beasts."

Tomodo said coldly, and picked up the giant hammer with one hand, as easily as holding a wooden stick. With a swing, the all-metal pointed hammer head exploded the head of a giant wolf and exploded. There was blood and brains all over the sky.

Boom~

Boom~

Every time he struck, it was like the giant wolf was sending his body up.

The strength of each blow is just right, the angle and precision are closer than that of a machine, and not a single movement or a trace of effort is superfluous.

The giant wolf rushed forward head-on. Either its head was blown open by a hammer, or its body bones were smashed directly by the waist, and it was paralyzed on the ground.

Even Tomodo's body cannot be touched.

In just a few minutes, most of the giant desert wolves that could hunt down a caravan were killed or injured, and the remaining few fled away with their tails between their legs.

Tomodo looked at it, but did not pursue him. He casually put the giant hammer on his shoulders and continued forward, heading towards the depths of the wasteland.

Pass through barren hills, across fast-flowing rivers, and through rocky beaches with rugged rocks.

In a river valley, he finally stopped.

far away.

A very majestic and huge fortress is located among the mountains.

If you don't count the gaps and damage everywhere on it, as well as the lifelessness and desolation that no matter how majestic it is, it can't hide it.

Tomodo looked at it with a hint of shock and disbelief in his eyes.

"How could Black Iron Castle become like this? What happened to the dwarves over the past thousands of years."

In my memory, the Black Iron Fortress is made of countless rare metals and smelted through the "Solar Furnace". It weighs hundreds of tons and is said to be a fortress gate that cannot be breached from the outside - the "Dwarf Shield". At this time, a large hole more than ten meters wide appeared on the door, with traces of melting on the edge of the hole.

Inside the fortress, the magnificent sculptures and palaces of the past were in ruins. The hall that could once accommodate tens of thousands of people was also in a mess. The statue that symbolized the unity of the dwarves - the Hammer of the Dwarves had been torn into pieces and scattered on the ground.

Looking at everything, Tomodo's eyes were extremely complicated.

Relying on his memory, he walked through the corridors and halls. What he saw was a desolate place. The marks of axes and machetes on the walls and the ground seemed to indicate how fierce the battle had been here.

——It was so intense that even the united dwarves could not stop it.

In an inconspicuous side hall, Tomodo turned a dwarf sculpture that had been broken into two pieces. With a rumble, a passage entrance appeared on the rock wall.

walk into.

Perhaps because the passage was relatively airtight, there were still bones left, some from dwarves and some from other races, but just a wisp of breeze from their feet blew them into a pile of powder.

Follow the long and narrow passage to the end, and there is a huge dome space.

This place originally housed the dwarves' piles of treasures, but it was now empty. Apparently, when the Black Iron Castle was captured, this place was also looted.

Tomodo stopped for a moment, then walked to a corner, touched a stone brick, pressed it with a specific force and angle, and rotated it.

There was a click.

A passage opened on the side, only large enough for two people to pass side by side.

There were no bones in the passage, and there were no signs of battle.

Seeing this, Tomodo perked up and had some hope in his eyes.

This is a secret that only a handful of dwarves in the Black Iron Castle know. They have agreed that if the Black Iron Castle encounters an irresistible attack and faces the crisis of destruction, everything that happens will be recorded and stored in it. , for future generations to know.

In this, you may be able to know what happened to the dwarves back then.

This passage is very long, narrow and winding, as if it is going deep into the mountain.

But Tomodo didn't have any impatience and walked on quietly.

Finally reaching the end, the last stone door was slowly pushed open.

Behind the door is a small secret room. There is only a platform inside, with a short stone pillar on top and a white crystal on top.

Beside the stone pillar, leaning on the skeleton of a short dwarf wearing rich clothes and golden bones.

A strange-shaped dagger was inserted in the heart position of his chest, giving him a fatal blow.

Tomodo was stunned for a moment, looking sad.

He recognized the dwarf's skeleton.

"Claudio, did you also fall with you?"

Claudio Black Iron, one of the dwarf epic heroes of Black Iron Castle, was also his close friend, guarding Black Iron Castle and the dwarves together.

His fatal heart was attacked, but he still managed to come here, which is enough to prove how sudden and intense what happened back then was, and how powerful the enemy he faced was.

Tomodo felt a huge sense of guilt in his heart.

If he had stayed in the Black Iron Castle and not gone out, he would not have been caught by the Archlich Chris.

With so much of his epic-level combat power, will things happen here change for the better, and will the Black Iron Castle be breached?

With so many thoughts in his heart, Tomodo finally calmed down and his eyes gradually became firmer.

"Claudio, were you the one who persisted here and kept the information?"

"What kind of enemy is he? Even you can't defeat him. He can only perish in this small secret room."

Tomodo stepped forward and touched the crystal gently.

A curtain of light was projected out.

In the light curtain is a dwarf with the same rough appearance, his face is gray and his eyes are dull.

The dagger was stuck in his chest, and a horrific wound ran from his lower abdomen to his right shoulder, and the pale bones were faintly visible.

If ordinary people came here, they would have been dead for who knows how long. Only epic-level experts can persist and leave messages here.

I saw Claudio Kurogane in the light curtain and said slowly:

"I am one of the three epic heroes of Black Iron Castle, Claudio Black Iron. If the overall situation has been decided, I should have died."

But I never thought that the Black Iron Castle would fall in this way. With just one blow, our proud 'Dwarf Shield' was penetrated. In less than half a day, we fell steadily. They retreated and lost the outer line of defense."

Penetrated in an instant?

Tomodo's face was horrified. Not even an epic powerhouse could destroy the 'Dwarf Shield' in such a violent way, let alone with just one blow.

Moreover, there are countless fortifications and powerful defensive equipment outside the Black Iron Castle. Relying on the dangerous terrain, they will not allow the enemy to attack wantonly. Even tens of millions of troops can be turned away.

Was it breached in just half a day?

At first thought, Tomodo didn't believe it, but when he remembered the way the door was damaged and Claudio's appearance, he had to believe this fact with difficulty.

Claudio Kurogane didn't pause for a moment, he was still talking, but his speaking speed became much faster. Obviously he also knew that he didn't have long to live.

Answer the doubts in Tomodo's heart one by one, and tell the secrets buried back then.

".The Trickster is the main culprit for the fall of Black Iron Castle"

Fraudster?

Tomodo's pupils shrank, but even if the Trickster's group of rats who had no belief in gods and lived in the sewers were doing sneaky things behind their backs, how could they have the ability to capture the solid black iron castle?

His breath stopped and he continued to read.

"The Deceiver used a large-scale sacrifice method to summon a Hell Balrog with epic strength, and reached a certain deal with it to attack the Black Iron Castle together. The Dwarf Shield was destroyed by this Balrog .”

"In order to stop this terrifying Balrog, Deod Black Iron, another epic hero of Black Iron Castle, and I were seriously injured. In the end, although we tried every means, we succeeded in dragging him out of the world by the rules of the world. , return to hell,

But this also exposed a flaw, and Deod Black Iron was killed by the epic hero of the evil camp brought by the Deceiver.

And I was also hit by a dagger that the fraudster found somewhere that was stained with the curse of the evil god. My body and soul were horribly cursed. "

"It is impossible for me to survive being so cursed. The destruction of Black Iron Castle has become an irreversible fact, so I forced myself to come here and tell all this, hoping that the surviving dwarves will know everything that happened here."

Having said this, a trace of solemnity appeared on Claudio Kurogane's increasingly dark face.

"No matter how you come here, the dwarves or other races, please remember that you must not let the deceivers know about you, or you know what happened here, otherwise they will hate all gods and all gods. The race, as well as the madmen of God’s Favored Ones, will definitely use all their conspiracies and means to kill you.”

"Ahem. That's pretty much all I have to say. I feel like my life has come to an end. Ahem."

"By the way, cough, cough, cough, maybe you can secretly look for Tomodo Black Iron. He is the only dwarf epic hero in Black Iron Castle who survived this catastrophe. He is a powerful combat power and forging technology that you can rely on. Second only to me.”

Claudio Black Iron's face showed a trace of sigh, "At that time, I said that among the three of us, Tomodo, the dwarf who is the stupidest but has the best luck, will definitely survive to the end. I didn't expect that to be the case. It’s really amazing.”

The light curtain closed at this moment, and the secret room fell into boundless silence.

a long time.

A voice slowly sounded in the secret room.

"I swear to the gods in the name of Tomodo Black Iron, I will definitely avenge you and the Black Iron Castle and exterminate the Deceiver!"

"There is a high probability that the fraudsters, these sewer rats, will still exist today. That kid Ji Chen has a very pure aura of divine favor. If he can hide it on an isolated island overseas, he will definitely attract their attention once he sets foot on the mainland. ,

No, I heard before that he is going to the mainland in a while, so I have to remind him quickly to prevent him from suffering a loss. "
