Chapter 803: The High Priestess of the Elven Empire (2)

After learning that Old Duke was an epic-tier powerhouse, they couldn’t maintain their previous attitude anymore. If he had any other thoughts about Hometown Island, that would be a big problem.

Even though Old Duke hadn’t shown any hostility towards them in the long past, it was still better for Old Duke to leave, so they wouldn’t have to be on edge.

Seeing the mountain-like pile of supplies, they couldn’t help but show joy. With these supplies, their quality of life would greatly improve in the future, at least they wouldn’t go hungry anymore.

Under Theod’s guidance, Ji Chen and the others wandered around the Sea of Death, finding more than ten islands with divine power trees growing on them, and uprooted them all, transplanting them onto the back of a giant turtle.

Before long, tens of thousands of divine power trees had grown into a forest, densely clustered between the towers and barracks on the turtle’s back.

Looking at the multitude of divine power trees in front of him, Theod’s eyes flashed with a hint of unease. Even though he was an epic tier, being amidst so many divine power trees would inevitably lead to being cursed sooner or later.

But these troops and heroes moved through the forest freely, as if nothing was wrong, which puzzled him.

But then Theod suddenly realized something.

Ji Chen’s first trip to Hometown Island was to search for the Ocean God’s Shrine, so if he was returning unscathed now, plus his behavior showing no fear of the ocean curse, could it be…

“Is this all the divine power trees you know of?”

Theod’s spirit shook, nodding, “Yes, most of the divine power trees in the Sea of Death are here, only a small part is scattered in remote comers and yet to be discovered.

Since you can freely enter and exit the Sea of Death, you can find the rest later.”

Ji Chen nodded indisputably. The harvest of divine power trees this time was much greater than expected, combined with the ones previously transplanted, now they had a total of thirteen thousand.

From the divine power crystals collected from these trees, it was roughly estimated to be thirty-five thousand units, enough to transform all the sea crystal wyrms into divine power troops!

The gains were indeed substantial.

Next, they should leave the Sea of Death and return to the Crown of the Ocean to see how the battle against the demons was going.

Ji Chen didn’t waste any time, immediately saying, “We’re heading back.”

The heroes saluted, “Yes!”

On the south side of the Sea of Death.

A huge door suddenly opened in the black curtain that connected heaven and earth, and a bridge rose abruptly from the abyss-like sea surface. A giant turtle swam from the door to the sea surface.

“Is this the outside world? So there really is a blue sky and white clouds!” Little Gavin stared at the sky with wide eyes, happily shouting.

Theod also couldn’t help but look at the azure sky, his face filled with reminiscence.

The sky of the Sea of Death was always gloomy and oppressive, and he hadn’t seen such a beautiful and bright sky in a long time.

“Yeah, besides the blue sky and white clouds, there are boundless grasslands, deserts with sand stretching as far as the eye can see, lush forests spreading in patches, and steep mountains and ridges.”

Theod patted little Gavin’s head, “When you grow up, Grandpa will take you to see these sights.”

Little Gavin nodded vigorously. “Little Gavin will work hard to eat and grow up, so Grandpa doesn’t have to worry about me anymore!”

“Good, good-”

The giant turtle had an excellent sense of direction. Even without being pointed out, it already knew the location of the Crown of the Ocean. Without needing Ji Chen to say anything more, it began its return journey.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the shipping lanes.

“Lord, there are quite a few ships coming and going on the shipping lanes, a little fewer than before the war began.”

Alice pointed to the nearby shipping lanes, where ships of all sizes were moving on the peaceful and calm sea, showing signs of prosperity.

This situation seemed to indicate that the orderly fraction’s war against the demons was progressing smoothly, and even merchants dared to start large-scale maritime trade again.

All of this was made possible by the Crown of the Ocean’s elimination of Balzarna, the Dreadlord who posed the greatest threat to maritime transportation and trade for the demons.

And then, after slaying the undead lord who secretly harbored oceanic power reserves, destroying his millennia-old arrangements in an instant.

The balance of this battlefield had already tilted in favor of the orderly camp.

Without lingering nearby, Ji Chen hastily returned to the Crown of the Ocean and immediately summoned Wilus.

“Clear out a piece of land on the north side of the main island to place the divine power trees. Make sure no residents or outsiders come near them, as the divine power trees are cursed.”

“I understand.” Wilus responded promptly, then remembering something, he said, “My lord, there’s a female elf from the Elven Empire who has repeatedly requested an audience with you at the City Hall. What do you think?”

“The Elven Empire?”

Ji Chen pondered, “When did she arrive at the Crown of the Ocean?”

“About a week ago. And I heard she didn’t have money to pay for accommodation and food, so I had some basic food delivered to her.” Wilus hesitated for a moment before adding, “Judging from her demeanor and behavior, she seems to be some kind of elf aristocrat. But if she’s a noble, why would she be penniless? It’s rather strange.”

A supposed elf noble without money?

What kind of intelligence was this?

He paused, then continued, “Bring her to me.”

“Yes, my lord!”

Ji Chen soon met the so-called elf in the reception hall. Under the hood was a mature and beautiful delicate face. Despite wearing simple elf attire, her voluptuous figure couldn’t be concealed.

She exuded a noble temperament, clearly not an ordinary elf, either wealthy or noble.

Herli also looked at this rising star, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She had seen him from afar in Silvermoon City before, but the feeling of observing him up close was completely different. This human was even more handsome than an elf, casually sitting in the chair but emanating the aura of a king on a throne.

His imposing manner was intimidating, naturally commanding respect without anger.

Just being stared at felt like a pressure coming towards her.

When Herli realized this, she was shocked.

She possessed a portion of foresight authority, placing her on a level higher than ordinary strong individuals, so she rarely felt pressure from anyone.

But both of them possessed authority!

As her thoughts churned, Herli gracefully bowed and smiled.

“Lord Ji Chen, I am Herli, the High Priestess of the Elven Empire. I have come to visit without notice. Please forgive any offense.”

The High Priestess of the Elven Empire?

This was a position second only to the Elven Queen, overseeing all the sacrificial activities of the Elven Empire, a position that directly communicated with the gods.

Why would such an important elf secretly come to the Crown of the Ocean?

Ji Chen was surprised, but he waved his hand gently. “It’s alright. I was out for some business earlier, causing you to wait for so long, and my hospitality was lacking… But I have a question in my mind.”

Herli was somewhat surprised, “Please go ahead.”

“As the High Priestess of the Elven Empire, you shouldn’t lack gold coins and such. So why did Wilus say you didn’t have money to pay for accommodation?”

Herli’s originally calm and elegant face suddenly froze, gradually tinged with a blush.

The entire elf was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole to hide herself.

Her mind was screaming wildly.

Ah ah ah ah!!!

To have such a thing known, and by the host she came to visit, made her feel extreme shame.

If it were known to outsiders that a high-ranking elf priestess didn’t bring money, and was even so poor as to not afford food, her dignity would be lost!

Contemplating the prospect of confronting those curious stares and rumors from the high-ranking elf ladies known for their gossiping prowess upon her return, Herli felt like taking a plunge into the sea and disappearing forever!

“Lord Ji Chen, I have a favor to ask you.”

“Hmm? What is it?”

“Please, you must not speak of this matter.” Herli’s voice trembled, with a hint of pleading.

Ji Chen’s expression was somewhat odd, but he still nodded. “Alright, I promise not to leak this matter..”
