The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Thinking of this, Tomodo took a deep look at Claudio Black Iron's skeleton, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and carefully carried it on his back.

Then he picked up the giant hammer and swung it towards the stone pillar crystal.

One hammer, two hammers, three hammers, the crystal was completely broken and lost its function.

Seeing this, Tomodo safely carried Claudio Black Iron out and walked out. After closing the secret room, he took a familiar route to the very depths of the fortress, as if it were a huge underground cave space deep underground.

Ore, various broken furnace facilities and traces of battles are scattered everywhere, but the place was not spared from the fall of the Black Iron Castle thousands of years ago.

But Tomodo didn't care about this, but went deeper and came to a giant lava lake.

At this time, in his memory, the location of the "Solar Furnace" that stood above the molten lava and was the most proud thing of the dwarf clan was empty.

Obviously, it has also been taken away by fraudsters.

The "Solar Furnace" is a furnace device created with painstaking efforts by countless generations of Black Iron Castle dwarves. As its name suggests, it is a furnace like the sun.

Relying on this furnace, the dwarves can forge weapons and equipment efficiently. They can not only smelt various metals and materials, but also smelt new metals and materials. The "Dwarf Shield" was forged from it.

But it's not just that. As long as the conditions are right, the "Solar Furnace" can forge legendary treasures and even semi-artifacts.

This is the foundation of the Black Iron Castle dwarf clan.

If placed on a lawful camp like the dwarves, it would be a treasure that protects the clan, but if placed on an evil camp such as the Trickster, it would only become a weapon that endangers the world.

It has been thousands of years since the fraudsters took away the "Solar Furnace". Who knows how many weapons and equipment they have made with their benefit, and how many evil people they have armed?

After a slight hesitation, Tomodo left here and followed his memory to a high ground outside the Black Iron Castle.

From here, you can have a good view of the exposed parts of the Black Iron Castle. This is also the place where he and Claudio often stopped and made an oath to protect the Black Iron Castle.

He buried Claudio Black Iron's body here, skillfully smashed a flat stone tablet with a hammer, and carved his name on it.

After taking one last deep look.

Tomodo left here without looking back. Now he wants to take revenge on the Trickster, but the possibility of relying on him is not as good as before, and he has become a race that is not even as good as a troll.

And he also has self-awareness. It's okay to let him fight and kill or forge iron. If he wants to reunite the divided dwarves, it will be difficult for him.

Under this situation, Tomodo naturally thought of Ji Chen, although his current strength was not very strong and his territory was just an isolated island in the ocean.

But before that, we looked at its series of performances and its characteristics of being favored by the gods.

Perhaps, this human being, who is still weak in his eyes, can help him unite the dwarves in the future to avenge the deceiver?

There was some drumming in my heart.

But Tomodo has been isolated from the world for thousands of years. Apart from Erin, who has pointed ears, and Ji Chen, he doesn’t know anyone at all, and the people he knows are already dead.

So there is no choice.

Compared to asking Pointy Ears for help, he felt it was more acceptable to ask Ji Chen for help. That boy's temperament was more in line with his taste.

And elves?

No dogs are looking for it!

The next morning.

Still in that hall.

Raymond reported on the results of yesterday's consultations and negotiations with many businessmen.

"Except for Gilder's 40% share, the remaining 60% share was given to nine businessmen, with each person's share ranging from half to one and a half percent."

"Because it is a long-term cooperative relationship, they have made certain concessions on price, which has increased by about 15% compared to the last time."

"Considering the price and business strength, except for these nine merchants, I rejected their cooperation requests from the rest of the merchants."

"With Gilder in mind, Ocean Crown's weapons and equipment business in the Northern Continent will be handled by these ten merchants."

"Here is the preliminary business contract. Sir, please take a look and see if there is anything that needs to be modified."

Raymond placed a stack of parchment on the table. On it were standard business contracts officially recognized and protected by the Principality of Maplewood. Once signed by both parties, it would take effect within the Principality. The party that violates the contract will be punished. It will be investigated by the official and specialized commercial management agency of the Principality. Because of the Maplewood Principality's absolutely neutral force field and developed commerce, this standard contract is also widely used in the Northern Continent and recognized by many kingdoms and principalities. It has considerable legal effect.

This world seems to be a hierarchical world covered in medieval skin, but its achievements in some aspects are not inferior to those of Blue Star.

Ji Chen picked up one and looked at it. He found no problems and was quite satisfied in his eyes. "You did a good job. It seems that I didn't see the wrong person.

However, you have to be more careful and don't let other jealous people play tricks to ruin our deal. "

He is not afraid of attacks on the surface, but he is afraid that the aborigines with some background will secretly plot in secret to cause trouble for Ocean Crown.

"I wouldn't have been able to do this without you giving me a chance." Raymond shook his head humbly. After hearing what was said behind him, he said confidently: "As long as Gilder and the others want to make money, and make a lot of money, they can do it." He will take the initiative to help us block the troubles hidden in the dark."

"After all, blocking a businessman from making money is more hateful than killing their whole family."

Ji Chen nodded, that was indeed the truth.

After a pause, he asked.

"Do you know the location of the Elf Embassy in Maplewood Harbor?"

Raymond was slightly startled.

"Sir, are you going to see the elf?"

"Yes, the biggest purpose of my visit this time is to contact the elves. The other things are just incidental."

Ji Chen stood up, walked to the gate, looked at the colorful meadow outside, and said, "By the way, send the dozen or so elves who are still on the ship with us."

Hearing this, Raymond nodded suddenly, "That's true. No matter how arrogant the elves are, they will have a better attitude after seeing that we have rescued so many abducted elves. In addition, coupled with the trade relationship we have established with them, Being able to make some people retreat is another barrier that can protect our business on the mainland."

"However, the Elf Embassy is not in Maplewood Port, but in Maplewood City, which is more than ten miles away from Maplewood Port. We still have to apply to the Maplewood Port official and go through some procedures before we can enter the city.

But with the large amount of taxes paid by our Ocean Crown, this matter should be easy to handle. Leave this matter to me! "

Ji Chen nodded slightly. Having a capable subordinate would save a lot of effort, as he would not have to do the marriage himself.

However, in less than two hours, Raymond completed all the procedures.

——In fact, most of this is the effect of money ability. Maplewood Principality is very enthusiastic about big tax payers like Ji Chen.

Raymond just explained the matter to the housekeeper. The housekeeper who was assigned here immediately reported it to his superiors. Within half an hour, a team of Maplewood Port staff hurried to the manor.

The procedures for entering the city were completed with great efficiency on the spot. Finally, they were respectfully presented with a long-term valid city entry token and said they were welcome to visit anytime and anywhere.

And it also comes with a special privilege, two oversized luxury carriages with common griffin patterns.

According to the staff, these two carriages are equipped for people who have made certain contributions to Maplewood Port.

Not only can you directly pass through most of the permanent checkpoints set up along the way without being blocked by soldiers, but you can also enter Maplewood City through an exclusive channel.

When he heard this, Ji Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, being rich is really a big competition.

Facts have proved that you can really do anything you want with money, especially in a place like Maplewood Port where business is prosperous.

As long as there are gold coins to clear the way, nothing will be a big problem.

Raymond was asked to bring the dozen elves left on the ship to the manor, and then boarded the carriages respectively. They headed towards Maplewood City in the distance with the attention of the manor's butler and maid.

Go north and gradually leave Maplewood Port. There are no defenses such as tall city walls in Maplewood Port. There is only a two-meter-high stone wall as the dividing line between the inside and outside.

Between Maplewood Port and Maplewood City is a wide, grassy meadow. There is a spacious brick road that connects the two. It is enough for sixteen horse-drawn carriages to walk side by side. There are many pedestrians and horse-drawn carriages on their way to Maplewood City. of.

Ji Chen and his two carriages attracted a lot of people's attention.

Ordinary aboriginals forget about it. They recognize that this is a carriage that can only be used by people with money skills. They are a little envious in their eyes. Even if they are jealous, they dare not take action. In this world with strict hierarchy and class, saying the wrong thing is a crime.

But careless players don’t have so many scruples.

All of them were jealous beyond recognition, with fire in their eyes.

"Damn it, he's a person with money abilities. I'm so envious. Ugh, it's so hateful! I will never be with someone who smells like copper!"

"The carriage with the gryphon pattern. I remember it seems that only those who invest, pay taxes, or spend millions of gold coins can be equipped by Maplewood Principality. When can I get on it?"

"Who is in the carriage? I'm a little curious."

As soon as he finished speaking, the player saw the curtains of the carriage behind opened a little, revealing a beautiful face with white skin reflecting the light.

The player was stunned and said subconsciously: "Fuck! Elf?"

This word immediately attracted the attention of fellow players, as if it hit their G-spot, "Elves? Where are the elves!?"

"It's in the carriage behind!"

The players craned their necks to look, but the curtains were only opened for a second and then lowered, leaving them with a lonely look.

A moment of frustration.

Not even a few seconds later, the curtains were slowly opened again, and the players' hearts were ablaze again, and they stared with wide eyes.

But behind the curtain, a ferocious snake-headed face appeared, with blood-red eyes showing endless coldness, which almost scared them to death.

The heart beats violently.

The curtains were lowered again, and the carriage slowly drove away.

The first reaction when they came back to their senses was to pin the player who said Elf to the ground and beat him violently, swearing at him.

"What the hell, elf? It's your prank, isn't it?"

"How dare you lie to us, beat this bastard to death!"

The player who was pinned down, holding his head and being beaten looked sad, "What I'm looking at is indeed an elf! Stop beating me, it's unfair!!"

In the end, this group of players who beat others unilaterally were caught by patrol soldiers, and were imprisoned one by one for the crime of seriously disrupting social order, and had to pay for seven days of jail food.

Inside the carriage.

The elf burst into laughter, and felt much more pleased with the Naga Berserker who was riding in the same carriage.

Because of the terrain and location, the line of sight previously blocked by the high-rise buildings in Maplewood Port was now widened, and it was easy to see the towering giant city standing at the end of the grassland and under a mountain range.

The hundred-meter-high city wall seems to be as tall as the mountains, stretching from the west to the east in the field of vision.

The arrow towers that stood densely like trees on the top of the city, and the forts that stood on the city walls stretched out large and small gun barrels, showing their power with all their teeth and claws.

Airships came and went from time to time behind the city wall. Everyone also saw a fleet of hundreds of airships returning from the direction of the mountains. Surrounded by many small and medium-sized airships was a ship as big as a crescent moon. The giant airship flies in the sky like an island in the sky, casting a large shadow on the ground.

Among the airships, there are many gryphon knights as big as ants flying, supporting the safety of the fleet.

This scene is extremely impactful.

It wasn't until the airship landed slowly and disappeared behind the city wall that they came to their senses and the sound of breathing reappeared in the carriage.

At this time, Raymond suddenly thought of something and said casually.

"That airship fleet should have just returned from the Alvin Mountains in the north. It's probably because the troll tribe there is restless again."

Ji Chen looked at him and remembered this.

The group moved on.

Soon we came to the city wall.

There are seven gates facing the south of Maplewood City. The largest gate in the middle is fifty meters high. The size of the remaining gates decreases toward both sides, but the two smallest side gates are also more than ten meters high.

At this time, only four of the seven city gates are open, three on the left and one on the far right.

There are hundreds of heavily armed elite guards in front of the city gate, who are checking the information and credentials of people entering the city.

The three city gates on the left were crowded with people, while the one on the right was deserted.

Ji Chen and the others naturally didn't have to squeeze in with other people. They drove directly to the VIP channel on the far right and stopped slowly in front of Juma.

The guard stationed here saw the gryphon pattern on the carriage, and his expression became more respectful. He came to the carriage and said politely.

"Guest, please show the relevant city entry voucher."

Ji Chen opened the curtains and handed over the city entry token.

When he saw the token, the guard's expression became more respectful.

This kind of token can only be obtained by those who have made greater contributions to the Principality of Maplewood. It can be used for a long time and multiple times, and is one level higher than ordinary ones.

To put it simply, he is the gold master among gold masters.

The guard just carefully checked whether the token was genuine or not, and then respectfully handed it back to Ji Chen.

"Dear guest, you can come in."

Then he shouted to his colleagues: "Let it go!"

Seeing this, the other guards quickly moved away from their horses, clearing a path.

The carriage started again, heading towards the city gate.

Ji Chen was a little curious about the guards' reaction and asked about Raymond.

"How much commercial tax did our Ocean Crown pay to the Maplewood Principality?"

Raymond grinned and held out three fingers.

"No more, no less, 15% commercial tax."

Holy shit? ! They even charge 15% business tax. This is too shameful!

Ji Chen didn't pay much attention to it before, but he didn't expect that there would be such a high commercial tax. No wonder the people in Maplewood Empire provide such good service. They would not lose money on this level of commercial tax.

At this moment, Ji Chen thought about changing a place to sell his goods, and he couldn't give the money to these bastards.
