Perhaps in the future, he could ask the elves from Vale Village to seek help from either the elves or Gilder, the well-informed merchant.

“I will arrange this matter.”

Suddenly, a commotion from outside interrupted their conversation.

Ji Chen furrowed his brow. “Let’s see what’s happening.”

Wilus nodded and left. He returned about ten minutes later, sounding surprised, “My Lord, a two-masted merchant s.h.i.+p has entered the Stormy Sea and is approaching the New Moon Islands.”

Ji Chen’s face showed astonishment. Merchant s.h.i.+ps arriving at the New Moon Islands so quickly? He hadn’t even disclosed the location or coordinates of the Crown of the Ocean yet.

However, this was a good thing. Ji Chen nodded and said in a deep voice, “Have them dock, and I will personally meet with them.”

“Yes!”

Lein leaned against the s.h.i.+p’s railing, gazing at the vast harbor and the town with numerous houses beyond it, a look of shock in his eyes.

Since when did the Stormy Sea have such a bustling island!?

This town had a population of at least twenty thousand, making it a significant settlement among the oceanic islands!

What surprised him even more was that this settlement possessed multiple steel wars.h.i.+ps, with over a dozen of them visible from where he stood. In the distance, there were even more moored in the towering water forts.

So many steel wars.h.i.+ps clearly indicated the extraordinary nature of this place.

As Lein curiously observed his surroundings, he saw a young man pa.s.sing through the crowd under the escort of soldiers.

He could immediately tell that this young man held a remarkable status. Seeing the gangway lowered, Lein hurriedly disembarked.

“Greetings, sir. I am Lein, a merchant from the Maple Princ.i.p.ality. Thank you for allowing us to dock!”

Ji Chen looked at the tall, middle-aged man before him and smiled, “Welcome to the New Moon Islands. I am the lord here, Ji Chen.”

“You are the lord of this place!?” Lein exclaimed in surprise. “Then, are you a Lord of Glory?”

“That’s right,” Ji Chen smiled. “May I ask how you knew about the New Moon Islands being inside the Stormy Sea?”

Lein sighed heavily and said with a bitter smile, “It’s quite a coincidence, to be honest. I was forced into this situation, and Lord Ji Chen, you might not be aware of what happened before.

I originally set out with three merchant s.h.i.+ps from the Maple Princ.i.p.ality, carrying a s.h.i.+pment of silk to Lienhardt. Initially, our journey was smooth sailing. However, when we pa.s.sed the southern edge of the Death Sea, we were suddenly attacked by a sea clan army coming from the direction of the Death Sea. It was a close call, and we almost lost our lives!”

Ji Chen couldn’t help but ask, “A sea clan army coming from the direction of the Death Sea?”

Lein nodded, a hint of fear flas.h.i.+ng across his face. “It was a highly organized and disciplined sea clan army, numbering in the thousands. They were accompanied by a ma.s.sive water tornado and attacked us without hesitation!”

Thinking about the two merchant s.h.i.+ps left behind as bait, Lein couldn’t help but feel distressed.

By now, Ji Chen had deeply furrowed his brow.

The southern edge of the Death Sea was less than a hundred kilometers away from the Stormy Sea, which was not much of a distance for the sea clans. They could reach it in half a day at full speed, posing a potential threat to the Crown of the Ocean.

The sudden appearance of a sea clan army had put him on high alert.

After some contemplation, Ji Chen said, “Sir Lein, would you like to continue your journey, or…”

Lein shook his head. “We had to discard quite a bit of supplies earlier to escape quickly, and we’re running low on resources. I would greatly appreciate it if Lord Ji Chen could allow us to resupply here.”

Ji Chen smiled slightly. “Of course, the Crown of the Ocean will be open as a supply point for merchants.”

“That would be wonderful!”

After a brief conversation with Lein, Ji Chen instructed Wilus to handle all the arrangements for Lein.

He then immediately called for a lobster guardian knight hero and instructed, “Take a hundred-man team to the southern edge of the Death Sea to investigate the situation. If you encounter the enemy, do not engage, and return promptly.”

The lobster guardian knight hero nodded and urged his lobster steed into the sea, heading towards the southern edge..
