The Victory Day Gala Dinner was in full swing, and the entire crown of the ocean was plunged into a burst of celebration and busyness.

As the initiator and initiator of the festival, Ji Chen was given just two days of spare time after the end of the war.

The so-called just too easy to break, no matter how strong the rope is, will break after being subjected to great pressure for a long time, so he can enjoy this not long leisure time with peace of mind.

During this time, he also used the slots he had acquired from the five newly acquired recruitment camps to recruit a total of fifty Crystal Wyverns.

It is worth mentioning that recruiting a sixth-order class such as the Sea Crystal Wyvern requires the consumption of extremely rare resources such as spirit crystals, a Sea Crystal Wyvern requires 20 units of spirit crystals, and fifty only needs 1,000 units.

And the spirit crystals in his inventory are only 3,500 units, and if there are two more rounds of recruitment, the resources will be cut off.

It seems that the future trip to the Principality of Maple Grove will focus on finding spirit crystals.

The time for the Victory Day celebration party soon came, saying that it was a dinner party, but in fact it began at noon, and the streets were lit up with red braids, red lanterns, and other festive items, and even the residents were more or less dressed in red clothes.

It looks quite festive.

Originally, this world celebrated special holidays, and there were no customs and habits about wearing red items.

It's just that at some point before, Ji Chen inadvertently said to Willus that red represents festivity, so Willus wrote it down and told the residents that it was proposed that the future festivals of the Crown of the Ocean should bring red elements.

This made Ji Chen a little crying and laughing, but he was also quite happy.

It seems to be a good thing to be able to see a shadow of your hometown in this other world.

More importantly, it can give people a good memory that can stay in their hearts for a long time, and bring enough power to motivate people to move forward.

Compared with pure force and violence, Ji Chen feels that this can create a strong territory, a strong territory does not lie in absolute military strength, and the construction of people's livelihood is also an indispensable link.

Standing by the window, looking at the residents in the street with genuine smiles on their faces, Ji Chen smiled heartily.

"Your Excellency, the celebratory dinner is about to begin, and it's time for you to speak at the opening ceremony."

Alice whispered.

Ji Chen retracted his gaze and nodded lightly.

Under the attention of everyone, they came to the stage set up at the main venue.

Ji Chen looked at the thousands of pairs of eyes in the audience looking at him, the pair of eyes full of hope, joy, gratitude, excitement and respect, and said loudly in a relaxed and soft tone.

"My people, the crown of the sea has once again triumphed over its enemies

Since our founding, we have defeated countless ambitious enemies who want to claim our homeland for themselves, but without exception, they have all been defeated by our unity and courage to raise our sword against a strong enemy!

During this period, we have built a dazzling pearl on the sea in this vast and uninhabited ocean! Even the elves of the Far North have recognized our unity and courage!

Our territory continues to expand, and so do our like-minded friends, the Shining Isles recently joined us, the Glory Lords of King Kong Island have made us friends, and even the Duchy of Reinhardt, thousands of miles away, has given us a piece of land for our contributions, as a testament to our friendship with them!

Celebrate!

We are witnesses to all this, and we deserve such honor and celebration! ”

As the last sentence was finished in an impassioned tone, the venue erupted in an earth-shattering shout, and the residents held back their red faces, as if they were about to pour out the suppressed emotions in their hearts, and shouted in the highest voice they could reach.

"Long live the crown of the sea!"

"Long live your lord!"

After Ji Chen finished speaking, he walked off the stage and came to the crowd, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, passing through the road that the residents spontaneously gave way to, looking at the faces that were red with excitement and couldn't even speak.

A fire suddenly ignited in his heart.

It seems that in this world, a new purpose has been found.

The elves of the valley village were dumbfounded as they watched what was happening at the venue, but the emotions surging in their eyes indicated that their hearts were not at peace.

Ruolin, who was standing beside Margaery, couldn't help but clench her hands, as if something was rushing into her heart.

She didn't know what it was, but at this moment, she was extremely envious of these inhabitants, and the smiles on their faces were not false, because they had a wise lord, a guide who sincerely led them to create a better life with their own hands.

She loves it because the inhabitants have worked together to create a paradise that belongs to them, regardless of race.

Margaery noticed Ruolin's strange appearance, "Ruolin, what's wrong with you. ”

Ruolin shook her head a little dazedly, "Great Elder, I."

Margaery looked at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled kindly, touched her head, and said in a soft tone, "If you want to stay here, then stay, I will support you." ”

"I'm not"

Ruolin subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Margaery shook her head with a smile and said: "Elves should face their hearts, we have a long lifespan, but at the cost of arrogance, selfishness, contempt, and greed that have been bred for a long time. This cost us the near extinction of our race. ”

But the only thing we have to insist on is to look our hearts and take that step bravely at some point.

Just like hundreds of thousands of years ago, we elves let go of arrogance and chose to ally with humans, which resisted the invasion of the barbarian gods. Just like our Yougu Village lowered our heads and chose to ask His Excellency Ji Chen for help, so that we got out of the barren ice field, we don't have to make the most correct choice every time, but as long as we go to the right path at the most critical time.

"Your Excellency Ji Chen is a wise lord far beyond our imagination, if you follow him, you may be able to get a different life and future." Margaret paused, adding, "Give the elves a different future, too." ”

Ruolin was a little puzzled, but finally nodded: "Great Elder, I will ask His Excellency Ji Chen to let me stay." ”

"That's fine."

After Ji Chen left the venue, he came to the underground lizardman world to find the dwarf Tomodor.

At first, he also invited Tomodo to come up to the dinner, but Tomodo thought that the sour smell of the elves on the ground was too strong, and it was better to breathe the exhaust fumes of striking iron underground, so he could only let him do this.

Ji Chen took two large barrels of spirits brought back from Reinhardt, and found the dwarf in the workshop who was knocking on the alchemy submarine with a wrench.

"Your Excellency Tomodo."

Tomodo turned his head to look, his small eyes swept over Ji Chen and the two barrels of spirits, his nose inhaled hard, his face suddenly became vivid, and he grinned rarely.

"Good boy, what kind of wine is this, it tastes and smells good."

Ji Chen smiled and patted the two barrels of wine, "I brought it back from Reinhardt before, so I'll let you taste this wine today." ”

Tomodo put the wrench back into the tool belt around his waist, walked over and pulled off the stopper, picked it up and put it in his mouth.

"Good wine!!"

Tomodo drank a third of it in one gulp before he put it down with a satisfied face, looking in a good mood, "I heard that you defeated an enemy called the Wave Lord this time?" ”

"That's right, a snake man, from the dead sea to the north."

"Dead Sea..."

Ji Chen couldn't help but ask strangely when he saw Tomodo's thoughtful appearance.

"Do you know what it's like inside the Dead Sea?"

"I guess I know something, that place is not for ordinary people..."

Tomodo told what he knew.

The Dead Sea was formed by the protracted divine war hundreds of thousands of years ago, and all kinds of escaping divine power caused its environment to be extremely harsh, barren and desolate.

What can be known is that the warring Order, Barbarian and Chaos gods once fought there on a large scale, and at least five or more gods fell, and the power that erupted after their deaths was even more extinct at that time.

It is precisely because of this harsh environment that it has been isolated from the world all year round, and it is uninhabited.

However, just like the grass that grows tenaciously from the concrete field, even if it is barren and dilapidated, the creatures can still grow from the mud and from the corners, and under the cultivation of time, powerful sea tribe communities gradually appear, forming a sea tribe force similar to warlords, entrenched in various parts of the Death Sea, fighting each other for tens of thousands of years, competing for scarce resources and limited living space.

Speaking of which, Ji Chen also understood that Victor, the Lord of the Waves, was probably one of the warlords in the Dead Sea, probably too weak to be driven out.

“… But I've only heard about it, I've never been there, and the ocean isn't the home of the dwarves. Tomodo took another sip of his wine, "But you're at home in the ocean, so you can find time to take a look, I've heard that there are many strange resources in the Dead Sea." ”

"I'll think about it."

Tomodo waved his hand, "If it's okay, you can go, your people are still waiting for you." ”

Ji Chen nodded, got up and left.

Back on the ground, the inhabitants were still reveling and celebrating, the streets were full of people, humans, sea tribes, and lizardmen crowded everything without the slightest discord and contradiction, and even the orcs with the violent genes hidden in their bodies were smiling, mingling with other residents, drinking glass after glass of beer.

Willus sighed as he stood and watched them drink like water.

I wondered how many resources this dinner would consume.

At night, a giant bonfire is lit in the clearing, extending the joy of the day into the night.

Ryan, a merchant who strayed into the stormy sea a few days ago because of the Lord of the Waves, was looking with emotion at the inhabitants of the Ocean Crown dancing in a circle around the campfire.

In the past few days since he came to the Crescent Islands, he has opened his eyes.

I have seen the scene of multi-racial harmony, I have seen such a cohesive territory, and I have also seen the strength of the lords here.

It's like a paradise in the middle of a sea full of dangers, and it's unforgettable.

As he drank a little wine and ate a small barbecue, he watched the dancers dance a strange but surprisingly good dance.

A voice came from the side.

"Lord Lane, how are you doing in the Crescent Islands these past few days?"

Ryan was shocked, and his face was suddenly a little flattered when he saw the person coming, "Your Excellency Ji Chen, do you remember my name?" ”

Ji Chen looked at this only merchant who had been poisoned by the Wave Lord, and said with a smile: "Of course, you are one of the few merchants who passed by and came to the crown of the ocean. ”

"So there were merchants who strayed into the Storm Sea before?"

Ji Chen nodded, thinking of Raymond, who was now in charge of the trade between the Crown of the Sea and the Northern Continent in the Maple Forest Principality.

Ryan didn't think much about it, and said in an emotional tone: "How can no merchant know about such a beautiful and prosperous place with such an important location?" ”

"Your Excellency Ji Chen, I know many merchants who have been trading between the Maple Grove Principality and Reinhardt and the Western Continent for many years, and when I arrive at my destination, I will definitely tell them about the existence of the Crescent Islands, so that they can also come here to replenish and rest on the way."

"Then thank you, Lord Lane."

This is exactly what Ji Chen meant, the so-called wine fragrance is also afraid of deep alleys, if there is no accident, it is estimated that the merchant ships on the route will not think that there is still an archipelago here.

If you want to quickly beat the position and reputation of the crown of the sea, you have to rely on these well-connected businessmen more or less.

Ryan hurriedly shook his head and hurriedly said, "Having such a place as the Crescent Islands to resupply and rest halfway is something that we ocean-going merchants feel lucky for. ”

After a night of partying.

Ji Chen was about to embark on the journey to the Principality of Fenglin.

Taking advantage of the fact that this week had just passed, and entering a new week, he carried out another wave of recruitment, recruiting another fifty Sea Crystal Wyverns, and forming a team of 100 Sea Crystal Wyverns.

The body is like a small truck-sized sea crystal flying dragon, soaring in the air is indeed very powerful and domineering, hovering around the giant tortoise, taking off and landing, even more like a carrier-based aircraft on an aircraft carrier.

The giant tortoise was left in the crown of the ocean because of the need to build a camp and a spell turret on its back, while Ji Chen set off with a resurrection altar to resurrect the Naga Legion and the Dragonblood Legion, as well as this 100-strong team of Sea Crystal Wyverns.

It is worth mentioning that about 300 elves chose to stay in the Crescent Islands last night and swore allegiance to him, led by the elven warrior Ruolin.

Ji Chen also welcomed this, anyway, the inhabitants of the crown of the ocean include multiple races, and they don't care about one more elf, so that Ellethea also has the same race.

Moreover, the elves seem to have a unique talent for improving plants, and can also provide help and advice for the development of agriculture in the crown of the ocean.

Under the gaze of many people, with a loud whistle, Ji Chen and his party set off.
