nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

n“Lord, when I arrived at the Sea of Death and searched for suitable living areas, I visited many islands. In exchange, I will tell you the locations of all the Divine Power Trees I know.”

nTheod said in a deep voice, “There are at least five thousand of them, and some islands have too many Divine Power Trees. I didn’t dare to continue deeper, but there are probably more in the depths of the islands.”

nJi Chen didn’t hesitate much. This condition was almost nothing, even a unilateral victory. Firstly, he could obtain a large number of Divine Power Trees, and secondly, it was just sending a little dwarf out, which was an easy task for him.

nHe even had to send this little dwarf to Thotmudo’s side. It was heard that he possessed powerful forging talent, and perhaps he could be of use to the Crown of the Ocean.

nThis was killing three birds with one stone.

nHe nodded slightly. “I agree to your request.”

nTheod’s face relaxed, and a genuine smile appeared on his lips.

nAs long as he sent little Gavin out to be nurtured by Thotmudo, it would be considered fulfilling his wish.

n“Grandpa Duke, don’t you want me anymore!?” As if realizing something, little Gavin suddenly grabbed Theod’s hand, on the verge of tears.

nTheod’s body trembled slightly, and he forced a smile, lowering his head to explain, “Little Gavin, didn’t you say you wanted to go outside to see the blue sky and white clouds? Now this lord can send you out, so you don’t have to worry. I have a good friend out there, and he’ll take care of you…”

n“I don’t! I want you, Grandpa Duke!” Little Gavin cried out, “I don’t want the sky and clouds anymore…”

nWatching the touching scene of the two dwarves, Ji Chen left them alone and walked to the side.

nHe didn’t actively persuade Theod to leave the Sea of Death or join the Crown of the Ocean like Thotmudo. He respected Theod’s fate. If Theod couldn’t face the events of the Black Iron Fortress thousands of years ago or Thotmudo, then persuasion would be useless. It all depended on whether he could overcome this hurdle himself.

nNow it seemed that this little dwarf might help Theod move forward and step into a brand new future.

nA nearby Alice watched Theod and little Gavin, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

n“Before, I was like this, clinging to my mother and not letting her leave.”

nJi Chen suddenly became interested and asked, “I didn’t know about your mother, Alice.”

n“As I reached adulthood and after my mother taught me all the survival skills, she left me and went to the Boundless Sea to find my father. Since then, I have been living alone in the middle of the ocean.”

n“Find your father?”

nAlice looked somewhat melancholic and nodded.

n“Yes, my father left me and my mother shortly after I was born, heading to a place called the ‘Boundless Sea’ to find something. This departure took hundreds of years, and his fate is unknown, just like my mother’s, who disappeared after he left.

nSo, while I roamed alone in the ocean, I searched for this so-called ‘Boundless Sea’ and later came to the Crown of the Ocean.”

nSpeaking of this, Alice’s face showed a hint of emotion. “If I hadn’t met you, Lord, I might still be wandering alone, homeless.”

nJi Chen also sighed. At that time, he had just arrived in this world and inadvertently gained Alice’s loyalty by fishing with a magical potion.

nAlthough the process was somewhat shameful and despicable, as time passed, their feelings and bonds grew deeper, with no hint of falsehood.

n“If there’s a chance, I’ll help you find your parents, Alice.”

nAlice shook her head gently. “It’s been so long, and I’ve already let go. Every Siren has their own destination and home. Since my father chose to go to the Boundless Sea and my mother chose to find him, that’s their life path. I chose to stay by your side, Lord, and that’s my home.”

nI believe if they saw me in my current state, they would also feel happy and relieved for me.”

nIn just over a year, I’ve gone from being an Excellent tier hero to a legendary tier hero, with a level increase of over thirty levels. This rate of advancement is faster than riding a rocket, and my potential has also broken through limitations, approaching the epic tier. It’s truly boundless potential.

nJi Chen nodded with satisfaction and didn’t say much more.

nTheod and Gavin appeared to have reached an agreement at last. Theod walked over, holding little Gavin, his eyes showing signs of slight redness.

n“Lord, I can’t let little Gavin leave alone, so I beg you to take me with you as well.”

nThe little dwarf also looked up pitifully and pleaded, “Please, little Gavin will be very obedient. Please let Grandpa Duke go with us.”

n“… Have you prepared yourself to face the past?”

nDread fell silent for a moment, but a hint of determination gradually appeared in his eyes. “For little Gavin, I must confront these things. I also owe Thotmudo an explanation.”

nJi Chen nodded slightly.

n“In that case, let’s board the giant turtle. We’re about to set sail.”

nThe giant turtle slowly departed from the island, leaving behind humans and elves who were delighted by the sight of the mountains of supplies and the departure of Old Duke and little Gavin. Both the human and elf leaders couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief..
