Chapter 768

Representatives of various kingdoms and powers boarded the port under the guidance of the Ocean Crown’s ships.

Wilus had been waiting and walked over to greet them.

He bowed respectfully and said, “My Lord has instructed me to come and escort you. Please follow me.”

Facing the imposing representatives of the Elven Empire and several other kingdom-level powers, this middle-aged man showed no fear on his face. He remained calm and courteous, as if he were receiving ordinary guests from afar.

Strength was always the foundation of discourse. The Ocean Crown was no longer the same as before. After slaying the Dreadlord and defeating a demon army, it had the capital to engage in equal dialogue.

Even if the other party was the mighty Elven Empire.

The Elven Empire’s representatives showed no sign of hesitation. Instead, they were full of smiles.

Politely, they said, “No problem, let’s do as Lord Ji Chen has arranged.”

Even before setting off, Her Majesty the Queen had specifically instructed him not to be arrogant and not to offend the Ocean Crown and Ji Chen.

With that in mind, no matter how courageous he was, he dared not show any displeasure.

The Elven representative cautiously glanced at a female elf in a hooded robe, who was looking around the surroundings, and breathed a sigh of relief when she showed no reaction.

Wilus keenly noticed this and made a mental note of it.

Could this hooded figure be a high-ranking elf?

However, he remained composed and guided them to the hotel and rooms prepared for them, before returning to a side hall in the Lord Manor where two players, dressed in a mess of equipment and marveling at the castle’s luxurious decorations, were waiting.

“Besides this matter, does Lord Ji Chen have anything else to tell us?”

Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair snapped out of their daze and shook their heads in unison. “No, the Big Boss Islander just asked us to tell you about this matter, receive the representatives, and wait for his return.”

Wilus nodded and didn’t press further. “Thank you for bringing back such important news. The promised reward will be paid as soon as the Lord returns. Until then, you can rest in the hotel, and all normal expenses will be covered by the Ocean Crown.”

The two’s faces lit up with joy. “Thankyou, thank you!”

Wilus said nothing more and escorted them away.

Monkey Gift and Monkey Gift Hair watched Wilus slowly walk back to the Lord Manor and couldn’t contain their excitement. “This is a big win for us! We were just sent by Uncle Luo to deliver a message, and now we get rewards and free food and drinks for a few days!”

Monkey Gift Hair chuckled. “That’s because we’re working for the Islander. There are always plenty of benefits.”

Just a few days ago, they inadvertently heard about the massive gathering of fleets from the elves and several affiliated countries. With the idea of gathering intelligence, they told Uncle Luo about this information, who then informed the Islander.

For some unknown reason, the Islander then instructed them to personally go to the Ocean Crown and convey his message to Wilus, the steward of the Ocean Crown’s internal affairs, promising a generous reward.

Just passing on a message and receiving a reward, they were naturally very willing. They set off on the same day, a few minutes faster than the elven fleet.

Now it seemed that they made the right decision!

“By the way, why would the elves and several affiliated countries send so many warships to the Ocean Crown? What are they up to?” Monkey Gift scratched his head.

“They probably want to exterminate demons. Since the Dreadlord has been taken down by the Big Boss Islander, the elves probably think they can launch a counterattack,” Monkey Gift Hair said.

“That’s probably it… Hey, look, there’s a stunning elf over there!”

Monkey Gift Hair suddenly turned his head, his eyes brightening.

It was a figure wrapped in a hood and robe. The only indication that she was an elf was the twin sacred tree pattern embroidered on her loose robe. However, the loose robe couldn’t hide her well-proportioned figure.

“Indeed, your eyes are sharp, kid,” Monkey Gift Hair praised.

Monkey Gift chuckled. “Of course, after experiencing so many ladies and sisters in the Sixth District, our eyes are quite sharp!”

At that moment, the female elf suddenly looked over. Her face was covered by a thick veil under the hood, revealing only a pair of intimidating golden eyes.

It was as if she could see through them.

Just a brief glance made them feel uneasy.

Monkey Gift Hair’s voice suddenly lowered, and he tugged at Monkey Gift’s sleeve. “She’s probably not an ordinary elf. She must have some status. Let’s not provoke her, or we might get the Big Boss Islander into trouble.”

Monkey Gift Hair nodded, pretending not to have seen the elf, and casually walked away with Monkey Gift.

Watching the two Lords of Glory walk away, Laphia withdrew her gaze and continued to survey the bustling district, which remained prosperous even in wartime.

“It’s hard to imagine that this territory was built in just a year.”

Although the streets were permeated with some heaviness and tension due to the war, there was no trace of fear, worry, or unease on the faces of the residents.

On the contrary, one could see a sense of fulfillment in their work and an easily discernible confidence and unity among them, as if nothing could defeat them.
