The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

However, just as Ji Chen put a water chain around Bishop Haisi's neck and walked inside, something happened suddenly.

Bishop Haiji suddenly gave up his struggle and suddenly dug his sharp nails into his neck. The flesh and blood all over his body melted as quickly as ice and snow. In just a few breaths, it completely turned into a pool of black blood, leaving no bones behind.

Ji Chen was stunned and looked to the other side.

Before he could say anything, he saw the hand of the seriously injured Priest Haiji turn into a tentacle again, stabbing into his heart with a horrified expression.

"Lord...why, I am obviously your loyal believer..."

Priest Haiji vomited black blood and spoke vaguely. His eyes were full of unwillingness. He wanted to struggle, but his body felt as heavy as a thousand kilograms, his consciousness gradually blurred, and finally he lost his breath.

Looking at the pool of black blood on the ground and the gradually melting corpse of Priest Haisi, Ji Chen was silent for a moment, and then left with several heroes.

Returning to Reinhard's palace, Julius and Monica were waiting at the entrance of the palace, and immediately greeted them when they returned.

Monica asked with some concern on her face.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, are you not injured?"

Ji Chen smiled and shook his head, "No, how could some believers hurt me?"

Monica looked carefully up and down and found that there was indeed no sign of injury on him. Then she felt relieved and pursed her lips with a smile.

"This puts me at ease. My mother told me earlier to keep you safe. If something goes wrong with you, then I will be scolded."

"Mrs. Milauna? Madam, is she feeling better now?"

"Thanks to you, my mother has recovered a lot and will probably be able to get out of bed soon."

…

Julius looked at Monica and Ji Chen, who were suddenly talking happily and harmoniously under his nose, ignoring his presence, and his big lion face suddenly turned dark.

Why does it feel like he is an outsider?

He is obviously Monica's father!

Julius coughed twice before interrupting the two of them, speaking in an angry voice.

"Have the priests of the Deep Sea Church and the so-called bishop been caught?"

Apparently Julius had learned the news of the successful raid from the city defense guards, and also knew that the priests and bishops had evacuated through another passage.

Ji Chen nodded, but then shook his head.

There was some regret on his face.

"After I captured the priests and bishops of the Deep Sea Church, they committed suicide."

"suicide!?"

"Yes, it seems that they don't want to expose any secrets and information about them. Even the corpses turned into a pool of black blood."

Ji Chen briefly described the situation of the priests and bishops.

"What can be confirmed is that the Church of the Deep Sea is a cult composed of a group of humans who have been transformed into sea descendants and humanized sea descendants, and it has attracted believers in coastal areas."

"The plan is certainly not small."

Julius's expression also became solemn. Such a group of deep-sea monsters hiding among humans hide themselves in the form of a church and secretly recruit believers.

It's like a time bomb placed around you, no one knows when it will explode.

Monica furrowed her eyebrows and asked, "Your Excellency Ji Chen, how can we identify the hidden humans who have been transformed into sea descendants?"

"Based on the current situation, those human beings who have become heirs have a certain degree of mutation. For example, cyan scales will grow on their necks and their skin will turn gray." Ji Chen looked at the two people who were meditating. "But I think we need to pay more attention to humanized sea descendants. Although their appearance is still quite different from humans, no one knows whether they will continue to evolve until they are completely consistent with humans."

Julius nodded. This was what he was most worried about. Human beings transformed into sea descendants would only become slightly stronger. The soldiers of the principality were enough to deal with them, but human sea descendants would be more troublesome. According to Ji Chen Judging from the Bishop Haisi he was facing, he was at least level five, and his level was above level 40.

"Your Majesty Julius, the Church of the Deep Sea is very likely to have spread and become active in coastal cities. Please be more careful."

"Especially since the war between Reinhardt and the Kingdom of Bath has just ended, there are many homeless people. This may give the Deep Sea Church an opportunity to expand rapidly."

Julius's face also became solemn, and he just nodded without saying anything.

Ji Chen paused and continued.

"Now that things are over for now, it's time for me to leave."

Monica said quickly.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, are you leaving so soon? Are you not going to stay for a while longer?"

"I have been away from the territory for more than half a month, and I still don't know the current situation in Ocean Crown." Ji Chen shook his head slightly and sighed slightly, "The troops I brought out on this trip were not even ten, and they suffered heavy losses. It’s time to go back and recuperate for a while.”

Hearing this, Monica felt a little guilty. She knew very well how difficult it was for the Lord of Glory to assemble a fifth-level army. These thousands of troops may have emptied all the resources of a territory.

Especially since the Ocean Champions died in a foreign land because of Reinhardt, she felt even more guilty.

Under Ji Chen's doubtful eyes, Monica pulled Julius aside and whispered.

"Father, Your Excellency Ji Chen has done so much for us, why don't we pay him more so that we can express our sincerity to him."

Julius thought about it, and it was true. He first helped them win the war, and then found out the hidden disaster of the Deep Sea Church, and even wiped out most of the army for this purpose.

Giving more remuneration is equivalent to giving more investment, which is not difficult.

This requirement is completely feasible.

"Yes, yes, but what will be the reward?"

Monica said enthusiastically.

"For example, several towns near Yuwei Island are also sealed to Your Excellency Ji Chen. I have been to Ocean Crown. Your Excellency Ji Chen is very talented in managing the territory. I believe he will definitely make these towns more prosperous!"

When Julius heard this, the corners of his eyes twitched sharply.

With a complicated expression, he sighed.

"Daughter, in the history of the principality, no non-principal nobles have ever obtained a land with such a high degree of autonomy. Previously, I made the decision to grant Yuwei Island to Ji Chen. Many nobles have expressed dissatisfaction with this. If we grant more Several towns may cause more dissatisfaction.”

"That's it"

Monica's face was full of disappointment, and even her eyes dimmed. This made Julius a little panicked, and he quickly comforted her.

"I totally agree with the increase in remuneration, but I want something else."

"Really?"

Monica cheered up a little and asked in a low voice, with doubts in her eyes.

Seeing this, Julius immediately patted his chest vigorously, acting like a reliable father, "Of course, I am also an archduke after all, so I can still afford such a reward!"

A sly look flashed in Monica's eyes, "Then let Your Excellency Ji Chen go into the warehouse and select a few things."

"No." Julius subconsciously wanted to say it was impossible, but he stopped abruptly, his face a little aggrieved.

The Valencia family's warehouse contains a large amount of gold and silver, various rare resources, and a large number of rare treasures that the Valencia family has collected over hundreds of thousands of years. Even he is not willing to use it, so how can he be willing to give it away? ?

Julius saw the cunning look in Monica's eyes and quickly reacted, feeling that he had been deceived.

Okay, this is a trap for his old father!

When Monica saw her old father reacting, she immediately launched her coquettish tactics, hugging Julius' arms that were thicker than her legs, and shaking them.

"Father~, you have already agreed to the reward in addition to the reward of the town~, you can't go back on it!"

In the eyes of outsiders, Archduke Julius Reinhard, who was majestic and majestic and dared to fight a liger with his bare hands, had no resistance at all to his daughter's coquettishness, and his tight lion face slowly softened.

In the end I could only sigh heavily.

"Only two pieces at most!"

Monica suddenly beamed with joy and jumped up happily.

"Father, you are so kind!"

Julius' expression was extremely complex, and the emotions contained in his eyes were complex enough to form a fan diagram.

The daughter he raised with his own hands now has her arms bent outwards, which really makes him, an old father, feel sad.

He was reluctant to hit him, but he was reluctant to scold him. In the end, he could only glare at Ji Chen fiercely.

Ji Chen felt confused when he saw Julius suddenly staring at him.

What? What did I do to you again?

The two came over quickly, and Monica said calmly.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, my father said that in order to thank you for helping us find the Deep Sea Church, he is willing to let you go to the Valencia family's warehouse to pick two things as our gratitude."

Ji Chen's eyebrows twitched and his interest greatly increased.

"This is so embarrassing, I just did it casually."

Since he was embarrassed, don't take it. Julius rolled his eyes inwardly, but still gave a forced smile under the hint of Monica's eyes.

"This is our thanks to you, don't refuse anymore."

The corners of Ji Chen's mouth couldn't help but curl up. How could he give away two things for free? Then he won't be polite.

"Please come with me."

After saying that, Monica couldn't wait to lead the way, which made Julius roll his eyes again. This daughter is really hopeless. Where is the wisdom and reason she showed earlier? Why did he disappear when facing this guy?

Also, is it really okay to bring outsiders to take your own treasures? ?

The Valencia family's warehouse is located in the palace and is protected by many guards. It has extremely tight rune mechanisms and spell seals, so not even a fly can fly in.

However, this was not a problem in front of the contemporary Grand Duke. Julius directly swiped his face and passed through the checkpoints to the door of the underground warehouse. He opened the door with some secret words, spells and keys, and took Ji Chen inside.

Entering is a very spacious dome space, with dozens of carved stone pillars in a circular shape supporting the topmost glass window dome, on which some kind of light source is projected through the colorful glass.

Under the illumination of the light, countless piles of gold coins were piled up, enough to make the dragon's heart beat, almost filling one-fifth of Nuo Da's warehouse.

Ji Chen just looked at it in surprise, then turned his gaze to the other side, where there were rows of wooden shelves with treasures and rare items placed on them.

Julius pointed over there and said angrily.

"Go pick two things. Remember, you can only take two!"

Ji Chen nodded without saying anything. He walked over and started to look at them row by row.

As a grand ducal family, the Valencia family has ruled Reinhardt for thousands of years, and its warehouses store many treasures that are rarely seen in the outside world.

He just looked at a row and saw no less than five 4-5 star treasures, several high-level spell scrolls, alchemy potions with powerful effects, etc. Any item here can arouse the players' enthusiasm and competition. .

There are also some advanced military recruitment camp cores, rare architectural drawings, etc.

Ji Chen casually looked at several types of recruitment camp cores, but soon lost interest. These recruitment camp cores were either of the Marine Corps, or were not suitable for Ocean Crown, and were of no use to him.

As if on a whim, before reaching the wooden shelf in the middle of the third row, he stopped and looked at an item on the third floor.

This is a roll of silk that exudes a faint magical aura. From the exposed surface, you can see that the golden silk threads on it are engraved with complex rune patterns and unfamiliar words.

Julius stretched his head over to look, a flash of surprise flashed across his face, and he spoke in a relaxed tone.

"This is a magic map, but it has been lying here for hundreds of years because it was sealed and no one can unlock it."

"It was probably made by that ancient powerful man. Maybe it recorded a certain treasure location or a certain relic. Anyway, no one can unlock it after it has been left here for so long. If the seal is broken by force, it will only direct damage.”

Ji Chen picked up the map, with a flash of interest in his eyes.

[Sealed Spell Map]

[Level]: Special

[A mysterious map, if the seal is unlocked, you may be able to get a glimpse of its secrets]

"Ding~ It has been detected that there is something in your backpack that can break the seal."

Ji Chen was stunned for a moment, feeling joyful in his heart.

Good guy, what a coincidence that he happens to have something that can unlock the seal of the map?

"The first thing is this!"

Julius was stunned for a moment, looking strange, "Are you sure you want this?"

Ji Chen nodded calmly, "Of course, I think this thing is destined for me."

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, this map is of no use if you can't break the seal. It's better to choose another one."

Monica said anxiously.

Ji Chen shook his head. Seeing this, Julius frowned and said in a deep voice.

"If you think I will feel distressed and hostile because you took the precious things here, then there is no need to do so."

"Just two things, I, Julius Valencia, can still afford them."

Ji Chen was slightly stunned, a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.

"Your Highness, it's really not because of this, but because I have a way to unlock the seal of this map."

"Do you have a way to solve it?" Julius was a little suspicious, but seeing Ji Chen's honest face, he nodded slowly.

"Since you are sure, I won't say anything more and let's continue picking the second item now."
