Miligas had no idea what Ji Chen was thinking in. When he saw a hint of curiosity on his face, he thought he really wanted to meet Her Majesty the Queen and smiled.

“If you really help us find those rats hidden in the sewer, there might be a chance to meet Her Majesty the Queen.”

Ji Chen didn’t argue and nodded without denying it.

Miligas suddenly became serious and looked at Ji Chen, saying, “Since you’ve brought me such a merit, I should offer something of corresponding value.

1 intend to submit an application to the council to grant the title of ‘Silvermoon Dynasty Friendly Territory’ to your territory, the Crown of the Ocean.”

Ji Chen paused for a moment and asked hesitantly, “What does this title mean?”

Miligas explained, “This is a title based on a comprehensive assessment in various aspects, including economics and politics… It is a certificate with certain efficacy, representing the recognition of the Silvermoon Dynasty for a particular territory.”

Upon Ji Chen’s inquiry, he understood the purpose of this title.

In simple terms, it was similar to a Michelin restaurant evaluation list on Earth. Entering this list meant that the territory had been recognized by the elves.

As one of the wealthiest and mightiest nations at the time, the Elven Silvermoon Dynasty’s business ventures stretched well beyond the Northern Continent. Elf caravans, along with those hired by the elves, traveled through mountains, rivers, and oceanic canyons to reach different parts of the world. However, since the elves’ main base was in the Northern Continent, their power couldn’t always reach every far-flung corner, whether it was thousands or tens of thousands of miles away.

If an elf caravan entered a territory that appeared to be a legitimate one but was actually a den of bandits, it would be like walking into a trap.

Therefore, this title, resembling the Michelin Guide, was born over a thousand years ago under the advocacy of the previous elf queen. Obtaining this title meant that the elves recognized the value of this territory. It also implied that it was safe enough for trade caravans to visit and stay on their way, avoiding walking into a bandit’s lair.

In addition to elves, caravans from other races frequently consulted this list as well. After all, earning the approval of the proud elves, who were known for their high standards, wasn’t a simple feat and demanded some expertise.

Of course, to apply for this title, one must be a certain level of elf, at least a noble or a high-ranking official in an embassy or consulate, and the elf applying for the title would act as a guarantor.

Each year, there were countless territories hoping to obtain this title, but only a few could make it. After all, requiring a high-level elf as a guarantor meant that one needed to be cautious and thorough in their assessments.

If Ji Chen hadn’t brought such a generous gift and demonstrated his abilities, Miligas wouldn’t have taken this risk.

After Miligas finished explaining, Ji Chen’s eyes were shining like light bulbs.

This was like receiving a pillow when you were feeling sleepy!

What the Crown of the Ocean lacked right now was fame, wasn’t it?

With the help of the elves in building a reputation, he could save a lot of effort.

“Of course, if you want to obtain this title, you need to provide the specific location of your territory. It depends on whether you’re willing.”

Ji Chen didn’t hesitate and replied, “Of course, that’s no problem.”

The Crown of the Ocean was no longer weak like it used to be. It now had over fifteen thousand fifth-tier units, dozens of warships, and an increasingly sophisticated city defense system. It had the power to protect itself and was no longer afraid of outsiders discovering or coveting it.

“The location of the Crown of the Ocean is in the central part of the Western Mid-Ocean, within the Stormy Sea. You can reach it by sailing towards the center of the Stormy Sea for dozens of miles.”

Miligas was momentarily stunned. He had heard of the Stormy Sea, which seemed to be a place that made sailors turn pale at the mere mention of it. He didn’t expect the Crown of the Ocean to be located there.

Could it be that the most dangerous place is also the safest?

“All right, in addition to that, we also need to mention some of the specialties of the Crown of the Ocean as references for commercial activities on the list. We can’t let those who guess what goods you have there blindly…”

Ji Chen nodded and began listing the specialties of the Crown of the Ocean. “In addition to the goods we previously traded, such as timber, coffee beans, Deep Sea Merfabric, we also have high-quality weapons, equipment, and military supplies. We have luminescent mushrooms that can quickly satisfy hunger, various types of ores, various marine products, and soon-to-be-launched premium wines…”

Miligas adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with some surprise, “It seems that the Crown of the Ocean has quite a few specialties. It’s clear that you manage it with great care.”

Ji Chen smiled and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

The Crown of the Ocean was like his child, growing step by step from a toddler who could barely speak into a warrior capable of defending itself. The tremendous sense of achievement brought about by watching her grow up was beyond words.

This was probably the happiness brought by farming, right?

The extraordinary result of farming!

Ji Chen and Miligas didn’t talk much longer and Ji Chen took the initiative to bid farewell.

As he watched Ji Chen’s carriage gradually disappear at the street corner, Miligas looked thoughtful and sighed, “This cunning little fox.”

Although he had paid a certain price, he had still obtained this merit.

After a moment of contemplation, he turned and asked.

“Black, how is Ji Chen’s current strength?”

Black’s expression gradually turned serious, and he shook his head..
