Kris had the team stop in its tracks and briskly walked up to Ji Chen to greet him.
Looking around, she asked curiously, “My lord, what brings you here?”
“I’m just out for a stroll. But what about you? What brings your group to this place?”
“We’re here to receive the cargo from the Ocean’s Crown.”
Ji Chen nodded slightly, recalling that he had indeed received a notice from the Elven Embassy that they would be receiving this precious cargo of timber and premium coffee beans soon.
It seemed the timing was about right.
However, Ji Chen glanced around and asked, puzzled, “This batch of cargo is quite substantial. With just you elves here, I’m afraid you won’t have enough manpower for the handling.”
Kris smiled and shook her head. “We’re just the advance team for the reception. As for the handling… you’ll see soon.”
Seeing her mysterious demeanor, Ji Chen didn’t press further on the topic and joined her in waiting.
During the wait, Kris suddenly spoke in a hushed tone, “My lord, i heard from Officer Brett that you’re heading to the area where the trolls are causing trouble in the north. Is that true?”
Ji Chen nodded without hesitation.
Upon receiving confirmation, Kris’s expression revealed a hint of worry. “The trolls in the Alvin Mountains are quite powerful, with tough hides and thick flesh. Most of your army consists of amphibious and marine units, which might put you at a disadvantage against them.
If you need it, i can request Officer Brett to lead a guard unit to accompany you and ensure your safety.”
Feeling the genuine concern from the elven maiden, Ji Chen chuckled lightly. “You were saved by me before, and now you want to protect me?”
Hearing this, Kris blushed, and even the elven maidens who were her subordinates behind her felt somewhat embarrassed.
Now they vividly remembered that the man before them had the ability to summon towering waves of seawater with a mere wave of his hand, easily burying countless monsters.
He had rescued them from the clutches of the dirty gnomes and sent them back here.
Seeing their awkwardness, Ji Chen smiled and reassured them, “Don’t worry;
I’ll let you know if I need it.”
Kris nodded in response.
The conversation between the two of them was quite enjoyable.
The onlookers were astonished by this scene.
“Wait a minute, am i seeing things? A player is actually having such a pleasant conversation with elves? Aren’t elves supposed to be very aloof?”
“Last time I tried talking to an elf, she didn’t even spare me a glance, and now they’re all so enthusiastic! I can’t accept this! Clearly, I’m even more handsome than him!”
“Damn, did you all hear? The lead elven woman said she could have an elven guard unit to protect him personally. Such amazing treatment! Are they involved romantically or something?”
“I’m jealous! i could eat three big lemons!”
“Who is this player? I’m going to find out everything about him within a day!”
Similar to the players, Gilder on the side was also shocked by this scene.
He had known that the Ocean’s Crown was favored by the elves through some grapevine information, but that was probably only related to their business transactions.
However, he hadn’t expected that the Excellency Ji Chen to have such a good relationship with the elves, to the extent that they would dispatch a guard unit to ensure his safety.
Countless speculations raced through his mind.
What had happened between the Excellency Ji Chen and the elves to forge such a strong bond? He even pondered whether there might be a romantic connection between them.
As a merchant, what he should do now was approach, establish a connection, and take advantage of this rare opportunity to converse with the elves.
After all, the chance to encounter elves was extremely rare. Perhaps he could strike up a conversation through his connection with the Excellency Ji Chen.
However, his instincts told him that now might not be the best time to intervene. Doing so could lead to undesirable consequences.
Just as Gilder was torn between these thoughts, a commotion suddenly erupted from the crowd.
“Look, a fleet is approaching from the sea!”
“It’s the elves’ fleet!”
Kris, who had been happily conversing, exclaimed in delight, “My lord, our fleet has arrived.”
Ji Chen followed her gaze and saw a fleet of about fifty elven ships slowly approaching in the distance.
What surprised him was that these elven warships were not made of metal like the ships of the Maple Principality or the gnomes. They were still wooden but intricately engraved with concentric runes that emitted a peculiar glow, enveloping the entire hull in a shimmering sheen.
On the ship’s sides, there were no visible cannons or artillery. Instead, wooden platforms covered in entwining vines protruded outward, each suspending alchemical contraptions shrouded by cloths.
With Ji Chen’s powerful magical senses, he could easily feel the unrestrained magical energy emanating from them.
Once activated, they would unleash formidable destructive power.
On the upper structures entwined with vines, there were also devices of unknown purpose. At the stern, a half-submerged magic array provided continuous propulsion from the seawater.
The elven fleet appeared to consist of various types of ships, ranging in size and purpose. Some were heavily armed warships, while others seemed to serve purely as transport vessels.
The entire elven fleet appeared both mysterious and formidable. Its diverse and distinctive designs immediately captured the attention of everyone present..
