One hour later.

The Naga Berserker, along with Kris and a Merfabric also housed in a luxurious wooden box, returned. However, they were accompanied by Alice.

Alice knew the value of top-notch Merfabric, and there were only five of them in the entire Crown of the Ocean. Two had been previously gifted to Miligas, leaving only three, so she couldn’t trust anyone else to deliver them.

Ji Chen received the Merfabric and noticed that Yasen was staring intently at Alice.

This gaze wasn’t due to anything else but sheer astonishment.

“Lord Yasen?”

“Huh?” Yasen snapped out of his daze, his thoughts in turmoil. “Lord Ji Chen, who is this?”

“This is Alice, one of my subordinates.”

“Forgive my curiosity, but what is her race?”

“Alice is a Siren.”

As soon as this was said, Yasen’s face became complex, and he was already caught in a tidal wave of emotions.

He had realized that Alice was a mature Siren at the Red-Legacy Tier.

As a fleet commander who spent more time at sea than on land, he naturally had an in-depth understanding of many stories circulating in the ocean.

He was well aware of the Sirens.

The Siren race was extremely rare, but each one possessed formidable psychic powers and could control powerful creatures to fight for them.

According to ancient elven texts, there had once been a powerful Siren in ancient times who controlled as many as tens of thousands of creatures, forming its own nation.

Due to their psychic control, this vast army operated seamlessly as one entity, making their military strength terrifying.

However, this wasn’t what shocked him. It was the combination of the Siren and this Lord of Glory, a human.

Could the legend be true?

Rumor had it that the Elven Goddess had passed down a prophecy over a thousand years ago.

It foretold that an unchanging world, devoid of gods, would welcome outsiders who would change the rules and appearance of this world… accompanied by a sea prodigy…

He hadn’t thought much of it before, but now, as he examined the details, it all fell into place.

The outsiders… were these Lords of Glory who had descended from the sky, weren’t they?

The sea prodigy, perhaps a Siren?

But upon further thought, Yasen felt that such an explanation was too far-fetched, leading to unnecessary confusion.

According to the prophecy, the sea prodigy’s power rivaled that of a demigod, while Sirens could, at most, reach the Red-Legacy Tier, a far cry from demigod status.

So, this speculation was likely incorrect. Moreover, in the world where the gods had vanished, the authenticity of such rumors couldn’t be confirmed.

Ji Chen noticed that Yassen’s expression seemed off and couldn’t help but ask, “Your Excellency Yassen, is there something on your mind?”

“Ahem, nothing, just a bit surprised, that’s all. Sirens are exceedingly rare in the ocean, Lord Ji Chen, it’s an incredibly fortunate thing for you to have the loyalty of a Siren.”

One had to admit, it was indeed fortunate.

And who would have thought that Alice had been reeled in by him with a fishing rod, and later claimed with a mouthful of potion?

Looking back now, it all seemed rather magical.

Perhaps to cover the earlier awkwardness, Yasen proactively asked, “I wonder what makes this Deep Sea Merfabric so exceptional?”

“What makes it exceptional, Your Lordship, you will know after you have seen it.” Saying that, Ji Chen opened the wooden box, revealing the cloud-like Merfabric.

Sure enough, it immediately captivated Yasen’s gaze, and even his recent thoughts were temporarily set aside.

Just from its appearance, it had a top-notch presentation.

“Is this the gift for Miligas?” Yasen, wearing gloves, caressed it gently with a fascinated expression, but also with a hint of reluctance. “You’re being too generous to him!”

Ji Chen chuckled softly.

Casually, he said, “I’ve given Ambassador Miligas two Deep Sea Merfabrics in total—one as a business sample and the other as a personal gift.”

“Two of them?” Yassen suddenly fell silent. He understood why Miligas was so eager to return to the capital.

The Queen’s birthday was approaching, and Miligas must have wanted to present the top-notch Deep Sea Merfabric as a gift to win her favor.

Returning from the open sea this time, he had brought back many marine treasures, thinking of choosing the best one as a gift for the Queen. However, upon seeing this type of Deep Sea Merfabric, he suddenly felt that his previous selections were lacking.

No, he had to at least obtain one as a gift. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly face Miligas’s sarcastic remarks when he returned.

Watching Yassen’s focused gaze and the hints in his eyes as he looked at the Merfabric, Ji Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

Damn it, the elves were too greedy.

However, originally, he had intended to give away these five Merfabrics as gifts. Investing in one with Yassen, the highest commander of the elven fleet, wasn’t a bad idea.

Compared to the one-time economic value they would bring, he valued the long-term, substantial benefits of the future.

After some consideration, Ji Chen pushed the wooden box over and said with a cheerful tone, “Consider these top-notch Deep Sea Merfabrics as a gift for our meeting, both for you and Lord Yassen!”

Upon hearing this, Yassen’s face lit up with immense joy. “Then I thank you, Lord Ji Chen! The elves won’t forget a generous friend!”

After some thought, he probably felt that it wouldn’t be right to simply accept without reciprocating, after all..
