Chapter 579: Submarine From Another World: Verena’s Complaints
Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The underground lizardman world had now become the heavy industrial base of the Ocean Crown. Various workshops of all sizes stand tall within the towering caves, and the sound of hammering nails and the operation of alchemical machinery echo day and night throughout the entire cave.
Thousands of robust lizardmen laborers carry mining picks, excavating the abundant ore found everywhere. They collect the ore at gathering points, then transport it to the workshops near the magma river using ore carts connected to various mining tunnels. Finally, lizardman blacksmiths forge these ores into various iron-made products.
The Ocean Crown exports various weapons and military equipment, with more than half of the product export share originating from here.
This place is like the heart of the Ocean Crown, continuously pumping out resources to support the development of the entire territory.
After being away for nearly a month, it has become even more bustling. In the distance, several dozens of meters high new forging workshops have sprung up.
Elisya observes the surroundings, finding that this underground world, unlike the jungle-filled islands on the surface, consists mainly of uniform rocks and rolling magma. The stark contrast in styles makes this young elf feel extremely curious.
“Big brother, where are we going?”
Ji Chen pats her head and replies with a smile, “We’re going to visit a dwarf.”
Elisya nodded, her expression unchanged. However, she heard from Arlin that they had a grudge against dwarves as if they were some bitter enemies.
But what she didn’t understand was that the elves of Vale, secluded within the frozen wilderness, had never had any contact with dwarves, let alone seen them. So why the animosity?
Ji Chen leads Elisya into one of the spacious workshops. Upon pushing the door open, they see an airship made entirely of some kind of metal, with two rotor wings front and back, each adorned with a circular ring, giving it a somewhat futuristic appearance.
Thotmudo, a small but incredibly sturdy figure, squats in front of the airship, stroking his chin, seemingly pondering something.
“Lord Thotmudo!”
Thotmudo turns around, and upon seeing Ji Chen, he stands up and claps his hands. “So it’s you, kid. Finally back from the outside.”
Then he quickly noticed Elisya and his expression became somewhat displeased. “A elf has come here?”
“Yes, it’s a long story, but there are several thousand elves temporarily staying in the Ocean Crown.”
Thotmudo’s expression became even less pleasant, and he spoke through his nostrils, “Hmph, it seems I’ll have to stay underground for the next few days, or else I might be suffocated by the elf’s stench.”
He glanced at Elisya, who was looking at him curiously, and suddenly furrowed his brow. “This elf seems a bit peculiar as if she possesses some special bloodline…”
Ji Chen’s eyes flashed, proving his reputation as an epic-tier powerhouse with his keen perception.
“…Elisya was brought back by me from a sealed ancient battlefield of the gods. She possesses the bloodline of ancient elves, with the potential to reach epic-tier,” Ji Chen explained briefly about their experiences in the frozen wilderness.
After hearing this, Thotmudo was somewhat surprised. He hadn’t expected Ji Chen to have such experiences during his time outside. Then, as if he remembered something important, he spoke seriously, “You must not let the elves of the Elf Empire know about her existence.”
Ji Chen asked with some confusion, “Why?”
Thotmudo looked at him deeply and said, “From hundreds of thousands of years ago to the present, the bloodline of ancient elves within elves has become increasingly diluted. If they were to discover the existence of a pure-blooded ancient elf with the potential to become epic-tier, they might take her back for reproduction to increase the purity of their bloodlines for future generations.
The elves’ obsession and fanaticism for bloodlines in this aspect far exceeds your imagination.
At least until she truly becomes epic-tier, don’t let them learn about her.”
Ji Chen’s expression turned serious. Was there such things going on?
Wasn’t this akin to being seized for breeding like livestock? Were elves truly that imposing?
For a moment, he didn’t know if Thotmudo was exaggerating or if he had been given a skewed perspective of elves.
Ji Chen nodded nonetheless and said, “I’ll be careful.”
However, Elisya, with a dissatisfied expression, added, “I won’t be taken away! I’ll stay with my brother forever!”
Thotmudo snorted and didn’t say anything further.
Ji Chen seized the opportunity to change the topic and pointed at the airship, “Is this the alchemical contraption recorded in the third blueprint?”
Thotmudo became more animated and nodded, saying, “Yes, it’s called the Alchemical Airship. The blueprint only covers the basic version, which can only carry passengers.
Considering your needs, I’ve modified it into a maritime version. It can not only be loaded onto the sea surface vessels and accommodate about ten people, but it can also carry dozens of alchemical bombs for attacking enemy surface vessels and underwater targets. To enhance its firepower, I’ve also installed small-caliber alchemical cannons on both sides, which can be used to eliminate soldiers on the decks of enemy ships…”

Thotmudo explained enthusiastically, a self-satisfied look crossing his face, clearly quite pleased with his creation.
Ji Chen was taken aback. It could ride on surface vessels, carry passengers, drop bombs, and even use small cannons to clear enemy ship decks.
Wasn’t this like an otherworldly alchemical version of a naval helicopter!?
Well, this was going to new heights!
If Thotmudo were given more inspiration and time, who knew, he might even replicate war machines like aircraft carriers and fighter jets..
