Perhaps in the future, he could ask the elves from Vale Village to seek help from either the elves or Gilder, the well-informed merchant.
"I will arrange this matter."
Suddenly, a commotion from outside interrupted their conversation.
Ji Chen furrowed his brow. "Let's see what's happening."
Wilus nodded and left. He returned about ten minutes later, sounding surprised, "My Lord, a two-masted merchant ship has entered the Stormy Sea and is approaching the New Moon Islands."
Ji Chen's face showed astonishment. Merchant ships arriving at the New Moon Islands so quickly? He hadn't even disclosed the location or coordinates of the Crown of the Ocean yet.
However, this was a good thing. Ji Chen nodded and said in a deep voice, "Have them dock, and I will personally meet with them."
"Yes!"
Lein leaned against the ship's railing, gazing at the vast harbor and the town with numerous houses beyond it, a look of shock in his eyes.
