Three days later, Elin suddenly proposed the idea of leaving.

At the harbor, a seafaring vessel was finalizing its preparations before setting sail.

On the dock, Ji Chen and Elin stood facing each other.

“Don’t you want to stay a little longer? After all, your strength hasn’t fully recovered yet.”

Elin, who had always been clever and mischievous, had a rare serious expression at this moment. She smiled and shook her head, “Although 1 haven’t fully recovered now, there aren’t many people who can threaten me.”

She calmly uttered such domineering words, and the people present had no objections or reservations.

As a fully leveled Epic-tier hero, she had the confidence and capabilities to say such things.

“I’ve been here for so many days. It’s time to go out and see what the outside world has become. Moreover, with the Elven race divided as it is now, as an Elven hero, 1 need to see how this group of Elves has changed. And 1 don’t even know if those people and things are still around…”

As she spoke, a hint of nostalgia appeared on Elin’s face.

Ji Chen remained quiet. He was uncertain about the answer to this question, yet it was evident that not many people or things could endure the passage of thousands of years.

Not only considering a span of thousands of years, even the power held for a few hundred years would suffice to utterly obliterate any remnants of a person’s presence.

Elin continued:

“This time I’ll also make a trip to the Elven Empire. I’ll fulfill the second condition we agreed upon before, but it will take some time.”

The initial requirement for aiding Elin’s escape included acquiring two 7-star treasures, while the second stipulated the Elven Empire’s support for the Crown of the Ocean.

This latter condition held significantly more significance than the former.

Although Elin was a powerhouse among the Elves, it was not possible for the Elven Empire to immediately provide support for an unfamiliar territory. It would definitely require some time to coordinate.

At this moment, shouts from sailors came from the ship.

“Milady, the ship is ready, and we can set sail at any time!”

Elin glanced and then extended her hand, passing something over. Ji Chen took it, and in his palm lay an exquisite emerald-green jade token.

“As long as you immerse your consciousness within it and call out my name simultaneously, 1 will sense it. 1’11 swiftly tear open the space, establishing a passage to come to your aid.

However, 1 have a busy schedule, and crafting an extended void tunnel over a long distance requires considerable time. Therefore, after you make the call, you’ll need to endure for a bit. Don’t let me arrive only to find your lifeless body…”

This was the last promise made between Elin and Ji Chen, agreeing to help him or the Crown of the Ocean once.

A level 79 Epic-tier significant promise held substantial weight.

Ji Chen chuckled with a relaxed tone.

“Don’t worry, I have confidence in my own strength, and 1 hope I never have to use this.”

“Heh, I hope so too.” Elin smiled softly, “Well then, I’m leaving.”

After saying that, she didn’t show any reluctance, turned around elegantly without hesitation, and without looking back, boarded the ship.

With the sailors’ calls, the ship’s sails unfurled and fluttered in the wind. The vessel slowly left the dock and sailed into the distance.

Ji Chen lingered for a while, turning away only after the ship disappeared beyond the horizon.

Arriving at the blacksmith’s workshop, Thotmudo was busy working on the remains of a dismantled Ruins Guardian, producing clinking sounds from time to time.

“Master Thotmudo, Lady Elin has left.”

Thotmudo set down his tools and showed a rare expression of joy on his face.

“That pointy-eared one finally left? That’s great! I can finally have some peace!”

In response to this, Ji Chen could manage a polite smile. Although it seemed a bit awkward, he could empathize with Thotmudo’s demeanor to a certain degree.

Elves and Dwarves weren’t just incompatible; they had many conflicts between their races.

And the two powerhouses of their respective races, facing each other and verbally abusing each other for thousands of years, had long reached their limit of tolerance.

Both parties were akin to barrels of gunpowder, ready to explode at the slightest spark.

With Elin’s departure, it was advantageous for Ji Chen’s upcoming work.

“Master Thotmudo, regarding the matter of you imparting forging techniques?”

As soon as he heard these words, Thotmudo’s expression immediately hardened, his face turning sour as he fell silent.

Seeing this, Ji Chen furrowed his brows.

Could it be that he’s trying to back out?

If Thotmudo was determined to back out, there wasn’t much Ji Chen could do about it.

After all, just like Elin, Thotmudo was also an Epic-tier hero, an existence not to be trifled with.

After a while, Thotmudo let out a heavy sigh.

“You human kid, you must ensure that the forging techniques I teach you won’t be spread around, and most importantly, don’t mention that it was Thotmudo who taught it to you. If other Dwarves were to find out, I’d lose face.”

Ji Chen immediately spoke solemnly, “Master Thotmudo, I guarantee that your forging techniques will absolutely stay within the Crown of the Ocean, the New Moon Islands, and the Stormy Sea!

And I won’t let anyone else know that it was you who taught us! I swear by the Lord of the Crown of the Ocean!”

Seeing Ji Chen’s serious and sincere expression, Thotmudo felt a bit reassured and weakly waved his hand.

“Alright, bring the people who need to learn from me over.”

When hundreds of humans and thousands of Lizardmen appeared here, Thotmudo’s eye twitched, and he burst into anger.

“You human kid, you didn’t mention there would be this many people!”
