But to Ernesto's great disappointment, he didn't know this man at all.

As a goblin merchant who trades between the coasts of the Midocean and the islands, he has attracted many enemies over the years, but few have come to take revenge.

Ernesto is greedy and cunning on the outside, but smart on the inside.

Powerful forces and races, it won't provoke at all, and because of the power of the goblin clan, although they are disgusted, most of them won't pull down their faces to retaliate.

And those forces with low strength, who are not up to the bottom, after being oppressed, do not dare to retaliate because of the powerful force of the goblins, so they can only secretly suffer losses.

It can be said that the goblin clan is in an ecological niche that is very suitable for their survival, and they live very nourishingly.

No matter how Ernesto recalled, it couldn't remember when it had provoked such a strong man.

It was an old man, with a rickety figure and a rather old appearance, with more wrinkles on his face than a goblin, wearing a luxurious velvet robe, holding a jeweled staff, and a thick mana surging all around him.

At first glance, it is what a strong person.

Ernesto's expression, from anger to surprise to deference, took less than three seconds.

Ignoring the wailing goblins and the mess, he hurriedly ran to the deck, looked awe-struck, and saluted the old man.

"My Honor, I wonder why you suddenly attacked us? There doesn't seem to be any hatred between us. ”

But the old man did not answer, nor did he move, and his cloudy eyes looked at it intentionally or unintentionally, but gave it great pressure.

After a long time, the old man spoke slowly.

The old man's hoarse voice came clearly and audibly.

"Oh? Are you sure? ”

Ernesto was stunned, it had a good memory, it had never seen this strong man, let alone provoked it.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he barely pulled out a smile, "I'm sure I haven't seen you, adult, did you admit that you were mistaken?" ”

Looking at Ernesto's reluctant look, the old man smiled secretly in his heart.

This old man was naturally Ji Chen, and soon after sending the Lobster Knight to track Ernesto, he also followed suit, and it was not until the goblin merchant ship left the stormy sea and was far away from the crown of the sea that he appeared.

This old man's appearance is naturally a 7-star treasure, the ability of a vain mask.

The Mask of Illusion's skill conceals his ability to perfectly change his body shape, appearance, voice, etc., almost as if he had turned him into a different person.

In order to act better, Ji Chen specially disguised himself as a powerful old man, and the effect was also very ideal, which scared Ernesto at once.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a distinctive hoarse voice rang out.

"I don't think I'm looking for the wrong thing, do you remember what you did before? For the sake of profit, I even killed my children and grandchildren. ”

Ji Chen deliberately said things very vaguely.

Sure enough, Ernesto, who heard this, was stunned for a moment, and his face became difficult to see, he couldn't remember how many creatures he had taken the initiative to kill because of profit.

Naturally, he regarded the old man as one of the elders and came to seek revenge.

Damn it!

I didn't expect those mud-legged existences to be sheltered by such strong people, and its luck was too bad!

At this thought, Ernesto looked more respectful and lowered his posture very low.

"This strong man, please listen to my explanation."

"Oh? What else can be explained? Ji Chen's face did not change, and he said very calmly, looking like he was sure of you.

Seeing this, Ernesto was even more convinced, and flattered: "I feel very sorry and guilty for what happened, but after all, death cannot be resurrected, even if you kill me, you will not be able to bring your children and grandchildren back to life." ”

"Once you kill me, you will inevitably be hated by some goblins, so the benefit of killing me is the lowest."

"Therefore, you might as well let me live, and I am willing to make amends for my recklessness, so as to clear my name."

"Oh?" A thoughtful look appeared on Ji Chen's face, pretending to be thinking about this statement.

But I laughed in my heart.

That's exactly what he wants.

Killing Ernesto is actually the least profitable option.

As long as it can be disguised perfectly, this greedy goblin can spit out things and even get more.

"It makes some sense, although the one you killed was one of my thousands of descendants, and there is nothing outstanding about it, but after all, it damaged my face and must be punished."

"I've long heard that goblins are good at trade, and they have a lot of good things in their hands, and if you can come up with something that satisfies me and atone for your crimes, it won't be a big deal to spare you."

Hearing this, Ernesto was overjoyed and hurriedly nodded.

"I won't let you down, my lord! You're satisfied! ”

"Hurry up and get Box 7 out!!"

The Goblin Merchant Ship looks terrible from the outside, but in fact, the damage to the inside of the hull is not very serious, and the crane and cargo hold opening are still functioning normally, which has to be praised for the Goblin Technology.

The same is true of the hull, and the harder cargo boxes are only slightly damaged on the outside.

After hoisting Container 7, Ernesto opened it and, with a slight hesitation, opened the cabinet on the right side of the first row with a key.

He took out a piece of parchment containing it and introduced it with both hands.

"My lord, this is a 5-star building:"

Hearing this, Ji Chen flashed a trace of interest and lifted his staff slightly.

The parchment flew up and floated in front of him.

[Architectural Drawing: Alchemy Death Cannon]

[Grade]: 5 stars

[Effect]: It can fire alchemy cannonballs, dealing massive explosion damage to enemies

[Resources required for construction]: 30,000 units of iron, 10,000 units of crystal, 10,000 units of mythril, 10,000 units of adamantite

[Area]: 30×30×75

[Attack Range]: 100~5000 (m)

[Explosion Range]: Radius 75~100 (m)

Yo, good stuff.

It is not inferior to the Elemental Arrow Tower, which is also a five-star building, and even better in attack range and damage range.

"Well, not bad." Ji Chen said lightly, put the drawings in his bag, and then put them back in his backpack, "What else?" ”

Ernesto's expression froze.

Instantly understood that there was something more to be desired.

I suddenly scolded the greedy guy in my heart, isn't a five-star architectural drawing enough?

But after all, the little life is in the hands of others, and it has to put a smile on its face.

"Ahem, of course."

Ernesto turned, his hand trembling, and opened the cabinet on the right side of the first row with a key.

He took out a golden crystal the size of a skull.

"Ahem, this is an energy gem, produced in the Dos Santos mine in the Western Continent, an energy gem the size of half a fist is enough to provide a goblin merchant ship with several months of route energy consumption."

"This extraordinarily huge energy gem can even be used as an energy hub for an alchemy workshop, and its value is comparable to dozens of ordinary merchant ships full of goods."

Ji Chen was slightly surprised, and also took this energy gem.

Feeling the majestic energy contained in it, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad."

With it in his pocket, Ji Chen looked at Ernesto again.

Meaning, what else?

Seeing this, this greedy goblin, no matter how strong he endured, couldn't help but be angry in his heart.

Is there such a bully of goblins?

A 5-star architectural drawing, a huge energy gem can't satisfy this bad old man's appetite!

It's even more greedy than that!

Finally, Ernesto couldn't help but speak: "My lord, I think these two things are enough to make up for your loss, you see..."

"Do you think my face is only worth these two broken things?"

It's the goblin mother!

It's said to be a broken thing, how do you see that your hands and feet are so neatly in the bag!?

Although he didn't know how many times, Ernesto couldn't help but scold Ji Chen for his shamelessness and cheekiness.

"Naturally this is not the case, I am willing to pay you more things, please calm your anger."

Ernesto turned around with a sad face, opened the remaining two cabinets of box 7, and took out the remaining two items.

One was the core of the tyrannical dragon recruitment camp, and the other was a piece of metal, so I couldn't see anything strange about it

This made Ji Chen curious, the other three things, the 5-star architectural blueprints, the energy gems, and the core of the fifth-order class recruitment camp, were all very precious things, and what kind of capital did this fragment have to be placed in the No. 7 cargo box with them.

【Gloria Elven Treasury Key Fragment】

[Grade]: Special

[Description]: Collect 7 key fragments to form a complete key and open the door to the Gloria Elven Treasury

Fragments of the keys to the Elven Treasury of Gloria?

He was confused.

Perhaps seeing Ji Chen's confusion, the greedy goblin merchant gritted his teeth as if he had accepted his fate.

"If you take these four things and then stop here, then I'll tell you about this key fragment!"

Ji Chen squinted his eyes as he looked at it, and thought about it in his heart.

Said slowly.

"Okay, as long as you tell me this information, then in the name of Gaspar Nuniz, I will stop it."

Hearing this, Ernesto was overjoyed, the strong are particularly concerned about their reputation, if it is guaranteed in their own name, then what should be said is true.

It nodded hurriedly, trying its best to mobilize the memory in its head, and said.

"This key fragment was inadvertently acquired by the son of a down-and-out human nobleman when I was traveling in the Northern Continent before, and the gambling human nobleman sold it to me for only 5 gold coins, but I didn't know that he sold the entry qualification of an elven treasure house!"

"According to the ancient books that have been handed down, Gloria is an ancient elf city, and the legend is that it was one of the three main cities of the ancient elf clan hundreds of thousands of years ago when the various races were still fighting for hegemony in the ancient period, and it can be said that it is one of the origins of the current elf race."

"But this ancient elf city has long since fallen into the long river of time due to wars and other ethnic reasons, and it is difficult to leave a trace and be lost in front of the world, even if the current elf race may not be able to find it."

"As one of the three main cities, even if it is lost, there are still some things preserved inside, powerful alchemy technology in ancient times, rare elven treasures, and strategic facilities that cannot be moved."

Saying this, Ernesto's eyes flashed with greed, "What's more, according to records, there is an extremely well-preserved elven treasure house in Gloria, which contains countless strategic materials,

It is rumored that whoever can obtain the strategic materials in this treasure trove can build an empire out of thin air, arm millions of soldiers, and dominate the continent. ”

"Therefore, having a fragment of such a treasure house key is equivalent to obtaining the qualification to enter the treasure house, and its value is incalculable."

And such a thing?

Can arm millions of soldiers, and even directly build an empire, how terrifying is the amount of materials in the treasure house?

When it said this, Ji Chen couldn't help but think about it in his heart.

But it didn't take long to react.

"If that's what you say, then why don't you turn it on yourself?"

Hearing this, Ernesto looked embarrassed and said hesitantly: "Since it has been lost, then Gloria doesn't know where it is, even the descendants of the ancient elves, now the elves can't find it, let alone other races." ”

"And the treasure trove needs 7 key fragments to open, one of which is kept by me, and the current one is known, two are in the hands of the elves, one is in the hands of the dwarves, and one sank in the middle of the West decades ago."

"There are two other pieces, and there is no news yet, buried somewhere in this world."

"And if the elves know that this key is in my hands, they will definitely send thousands of troops to hunt me down."

Ernesto said in a sneering voice, feeling much more relaxed, although a little reluctant, but this piece of hot taro was finally sent out.

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen's face sank, didn't the elves know that they were going to hunt him down?

But after thinking about it, his current appearance is a bad old man named Gaspar Nuniz, what does it have to do with him Ji Chen?

It's not a big problem, but for the sake of the confidentiality and 100% security of the news, we still have to deal with the relevant people who know the news...

Ernesto looked at Ji Chen, who was expressionless, and asked cautiously.

"My lord, I've said everything I know, you see, can you let us go now?"

Ji Chen smiled slightly, "Of course you can, I'm a person who keeps my promises, and I'll let you go when I say I'll let you go." ”

"Thank you, sir!"

"If you don't die, return to your post, pull the power of the energy engine to the maximum, and leave at full speed!!"

The goblin merchant ship once again emitted wisps of white smoke and sailed quickly into the distance at a speed that wished it could be loaded with two more propellers.

Ji Chen stayed where he was, looking at the goblin merchant ship that was moving away, and a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth.

On it together
