Ji Chen nodded slightly. āThatās quite apt.ā
The other human leader cautiously asked, āForgive me for being presumptuous, but may I inquire, sir, what brings you to Hometown Island?
There are scarce resources and treasures here, and the crops can barely sustain us, soā¦ā
āIām here for the Ocean Godās Shrine.ā
The human leaderās face lit up with understanding, and he breathed a sigh of relief, saying, āI see, the Ocean Godās Shrine lies about thirty miles to the east of Hometown Island, underwater. You can go straight there.ā
During this time, all the ocean lords of the Sea of Death were drawn by that artifact, so itās not surprising that they were attracted here, but itās the first time so many armies have mistakenly entered.
Out of curiosity, someone asked, āSir, I donāt think Iāve ever heard your name mentioned in the Sea of Deathā¦ā
āI came here voluntarily from the outside.ā Ji Chen said lightly.
The humans, elves, and dwarves present were all stunned.
What a joke. Once you come to the Sea of Death, you canāt leave, and theyāve never heard of anyone willingly coming here in so many years.
Ji Chen didnāt explain much, just said meaningfully, āIf there was a chance for you to leave here, what price would you be willing to pay?ā
The human leader hesitated for a moment and said without hesitation, āBesides my life and freedom, everything else can be offered as a price.ā
The elf leader looked at Ji Chen with suspicion and hesitation and said, āIām willing to give up everything I have, just to leave this cursed place.ā
Ji Chen smiled and didnāt say anything more, turning around and returning to the back of the giant turtle, which slowly retreated into the sea and left.
Not far behind the humans and elves, an old and a young dwarf stood on a rock, watching the giant turtle gradually disappear from sight.
āGrandpa Duke,ā the young dwarf suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining with innocence, āIf we had such a big turtle, could we leave here? What is the world outside like?ā
The scruffy old dwarf with white whiskers smiled kindly, āPerhaps, but Grandpa has been here for half a lifetime and doesnāt know what the outside world has become.ā
Little Gavin pouted, his face full of curiosity, āI heard those pointy-eared and human beings say that the outside world has a blue sky, white clouds, a bright sun, and mountains covered with flowers and forests full of birds. I really want to see it with my own eyes!ā
Old Duke looked at the eyes full of longing of little Gavin, and for a moment, he couldnāt find the words to say. He also longed for that azure sky.
But he couldnāt be sure if those enemies outside were still looking for him.
And even if the enemies were no longer seeking him, what could he do? His people had already been killed by that infernal demon, and even if he were to leave, he would only be alone.
Rather than continue to suffer, it would be better to stay here until his life ends.
But the only thing he couldnāt bear was what would happen to little Gavin after he died?
He didnāt think those humans and elves would kindly raise a little dwarf!
Old Dukeās thoughts collided in his mind, and his eyes gradually showed a hint of confusion.
As if sensing his emotions, little Gavin tightly held Old Dukeās rough but powerful hand, his eyes earnestly serious.
āGrandpa Duke, Gavin will always be with you.ā
Old Dukeās heart trembled fiercely, he forced out a smile and held little Gavinās small hand with his own, the confusion in his eyes gradually fading, replaced by determination.
āGrandpa will always be with you, and will definitely let you see the blue sky and those white clouds..ā
