Its alright, everything has been resolved now.

In that case, I can rest a.s.sured. Oh, by the way! About the trade between the Crown of the Ocean and King Kong Island!

You dont need to worry about that. In a day or two, the first batch of five fully loaded merchant s.h.i.+ps will depart, and if nothing unexpected happens, they should arrive soon.

Thats great to hear! Weve already prepared the resources you need here, so as soon as the s.h.i.+ps arrive, we can close the deal.

I_Love_Black_Stockings seemed quite concerned about this matter.

Just as Ji Chen was about to say something else, I_Love_Black_Stockings suddenly sent another message.

Big boss, since youve traveled the vast oceans and seen so much, theres something Id like to ask for your insight on.

[The Gloria Map]

Gloria?

Why did that name sound so familiar?

Suddenly, Ji Chen realized and took out a key fragment, and its name was exactly Gloria Elf Treasury Key Fragment.

Gloria was the name of the ancient elven city that Ernesto mentioned, a city lost in the river of time.

Legend has it that its treasury housed immeasurable wealth, weaponry, rare treasures, and secrets not found in the outside world.

And this map was named after it?

With a thought, he opened it.

[Gloria Map]

[Tier: Special]

[Description: It can guide you to a lost city Gloria.]

[A map imbued with strange magic, preserved to this day.]

Sure enough.

If this map was real and could guide him to the ancient elven capital Gloria, it would be an earth-shattering discovery.

Gnome merchant Ernesto had mentioned that even the descendants of the ancient elves themselves couldnt find its location now.

If Ji Chen could get his hands on this map, he could find the citys location. Besides the treasury key fragment he had, as long as he collected the other six key fragments, he could unlock the Gloria Elf Treasury.

Where did you get this map?

A few days ago, I raided a Murloc camp, and 1 found it inside. Big boss, do you know anything about this Gloria that the map mentions?

Well, I have some knowledge about it, involving some ancient secrets.

A lost city it sounds like a dangerous and frightening place. Big boss, Im giving this map to you.

Ji Chen was stunned. I_Love_Black_Stockings, who always acted poor, was unexpectedly generous this time?

He had been contemplating whether to tell her about Gloria earlier, and he didnt expect her to offer him the map directly.

With something of such importance, he didnt hesitate and immediately replied, If thats the case, 1 graciously accept it. I do indeed need it. But I can offer something in return. If theres anything you desire, please let me know, and 111 do my best to fulfill your request.

Big boss, youre too modest. Youve helped me so many times before, and its because of you that Ive come this far. Whats this little thing worth? l_Love_Black_Stockings said indifferently. Her curiosity about the lost city behind this map was feigned, even though she had some self-awareness.

From Ji Chens words and hints, her intuition told her that the matters related to this city were beyond her control and could easily cause trouble for her small territory.

Rather than holding onto the map, it was better to do a favor and simply give it away.

Furthermore, her deeper consideration was that the more gains and benefits this map brought to Ji Chen, the better he would regard her.

When the time came for any benefits, she would naturally have a share.

I_Love_Black_Stockings thought that it was better to align herself with a powerful figure than to compete against him desperately.

Seeing l_Love_Black_Stockings repeatedly declining, Ji Chen didnt want to say too much and just replied, Ill go to King Kong Island again later and handle these matters all at once.

He closed the chat channel.

At this moment, a maid suddenly rushed in from outside.

My Lord, My Lord!

Seeing the maid out of breath and in a panic, Ji Chen furrowed his brows and said, Dont be in a hurry, take your time and explain.

Lady Anina, Lady Anina is encased in a coc.o.o.n!

When Ji Chen arrived at Aninas room, he saw a large azure coc.o.o.n on the bed. In the slightly dim room, it emitted a misty blue light.

This kind of light was like sunlight piercing through the seas surface and s.h.i.+ning into the water, exceptionally beautiful.

Thump, thump, thump

However, with attentive listening, one could discern the rhythmic and robust heartbeat emanating from within the coc.o.o.n. It possessed a formidable strength, resonating with depth and authority.

It made people feel as if this was the heartbeat of a colossal beast.

In fact, Anina was originally a deep-sea dragon whale, with a considerable size that was no less impressive than the Tyrant Azure Dragon. Now, she had merely taken on a pet.i.te human form.

But if Ji Chen were to choose, he still preferred the humanoid form. After all, who would find a giant beast more appealing than a little girl?

When did Anina become like this?

Just a moment ago, she suddenly transformed into this form, without any warning.

I swear, 1 absolutely didnt do anything!

The maid explained with tears in her eyes. Right in front of her, Lady Anina, who had been sleeping peacefully, suddenly emitted a dazzling light from her body, causing her to involuntarily close her eyes.

When she opened them again, Lady Anina was gone, replaced by a large coc.o.o.n. This left her in a state of panic, prompting her to report the situation urgently.

After hearing the maids description, Ji Chen stroked his chin and looked at the coc.o.o.n where Aninas aura and energy fluctuations were slowly growing stronger.

Then he opened his interface and navigated to the hero section.

It still showed that Anina was in the midst of transformation, with less than a day remaining.

If his guess was correct, this should be a part of her evolution.

However, this advanced process was different from how Alice used the Red Heroic Soul Essence.

Seeing the anxious maid, Ji Chen waved his hand and said, Anina should be fine, no need to worry. Continue to watch over her here, and if anything happens, report to me.

Yes, I understand!

Looking at the coc.o.o.n on the bed, Ji Chen began to feel a sense of antic.i.p.ation.

Such a peculiar transformation method, what would Anina ultimately become?

Originally, her combat prowess was already the strongest among the heroes of the Crown of the Ocean, especially in solo combat.

She was unparalleled. If the conditions were right, she could single-handedly act as an entire army, easily causing chaos among enemy forces.

Advancing to the Red-Legacy Tier, Aninas strength would only become more terrifying.

In high spirits, Ji Chen left the Lords Castle and began to inspect his territory.

After the intense battle in the Crown of the Ocean, the liveliness of the place exceeded its previous state. Repair work was underway everywhere, with residents diligently working under the scorching afternoon sun. Despite the heat, they didnt complain but rather worked diligently.

Their faces bore expressions of fulfillment and joy.

Upon seeing Ji Chens arrival, each of them immediately greeted him with expressions filled with reverence.

Lord, good day!

Lord, we are repairing the damaged buildings, and they will be fixed soon!

Are you inspecting the territory, my Lord? But the sunlight is too intense right now. Please wait until later in the evening!

Before coming to the Crown of the Ocean, these people had been wanderers, homeless, and struggling for survival. They had lived a life of hards.h.i.+p, exposed to the elements and suffering from hunger and cold.

However, upon arriving here, they not only had an abundance of food to eat but also luxurious housing and the protection of the military.

As time pa.s.sed, they naturally developed a sense of belonging.

This place was their home!

Youve all worked hard!

Were not working hard, my Lord. Youre the one whos working hard, and fighting those monsters is very dangerous. Please be careful!

Thats right, we cant do without you! If something were to happen to you

What are you saying? Dont jinx the lord!

I didnt mean that, I just

Ji Chen smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.

After all, what could a wise lord like him possibly take offense at?

Moreover, he understood the sentiment of the residents. As he looked around and saw the grateful and admiring faces of the residents who were eager to speak with him, he felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart..
