Chapter 27 The Treasure of the Unknown Island!
As the ship returned to port, Loren stood by the side of the vessel, gazing out at the sea.

There was indeed an area in the distance shrouded in thick fog.

Loris came to Loren's side. "There's no other way. The misty area is too dangerous. We have to give up exploring it."

Loren nodded.

Just then, a deep blue column of water emerged from the sea.

The water jet landed on the boat, forming a silhouette.

The other person was wearing a black robe and a dark blue mask worn diagonally on their head.

She had a beautiful face, deep and mysterious eyes, and tiny fish scales that shimmered with colorful light below the corners of her eyes.

The crew members were startled and turned to look at them with curiosity.

Lorris and Loren recognized her.

The mysterious merchant, Hela.

"It seems you've run into trouble."

Located in the Fairy Sea, Hela was noticeably bolder.

Loris looked wary. "Miss Hela, why are you here?"

“I’ve been following you all along.”

"follow us?"

"Yes, I was thinking that if you make a profit, we might be able to make a deal."

Loris raised an eyebrow slightly. "It seems you've already sensed a business opportunity."

Haila pointed to the mist on the sea, "Is your destination the misty area? I can guide you."

Loris pondered for a moment, "What are the conditions?"

"I want 1 gold coins."

"Ten thousand gold coins!?" Loris thought Hela had gone mad. "Do you think gold coins just fall from the sky?"

"You made much more than that from that evolution crystal!"

"One thing at a time. As a businessman, you should be honest. Completed transactions should not affect new negotiations."

Hela pondered for a moment and then revealed the information, "Last month, a Demon Flame Dragon entered the Misty Area. You definitely won't lose money by spending 10,000 gold coins."

Loren was slightly surprised.

How did Hela know this information?

Loris stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "A Demon Flame Dragon? Are you sure?"

"You don't know?" Hela looked at Loris with suspicion. "Then why did you go in?"

Loris looked at Loren.

Loren joined the conversation, "Miss Hela, since you know this information, it means you've already explored the Fog region, right?"

Hela shook her head. "For marine species, the dragon's flames are deadly enough. Wherever it has been, marine life hardly dares to approach."

Loris fell into deep thought.

If a dragon has ever been in the misty area, it's worth spending 10,000 gold coins to explore it.

The question now is whether this marine species called Hela is credible.

Hela understood Loris's concerns.

“I am just a merchant at sea. As marine creatures, there is almost no conflict of interest between us, and I have no reason to harm you.”

You were right before, we should definitely become friends; there might be more opportunities to trade in the future.

Loris hesitated.

Since the other party is a marine species, she will naturally be much more cautious, just like Hela was on the mainland.

Loren suggested, "It's good to have another friend at sea; maybe we can establish trade relations with the Ocean City in the future."

Hela looked at Loren coldly, "I don't want to be friends with you."

It was all that guy's fault; he cut the price of 100,000 evolution crystals in half.

If it weren't for him, the evolution crystals could have sold for a much higher price!
Loris smiled gently. "Miss Hela, I'm curious, do you marine species also need money?"

"Of course we need it! The currency on the mainland can also circulate in the Ocean City. Just a touch of the Ocean Aura is worth tens of thousands of gold."

"Sea breeze? What's that?"

“Similar to the effect of evolution crystals.” Hela sighed. “If only marine species could evolve using crystals.”

After a brief conversation, Loris decided to trust Hela.

Hela's willingness to take the risk of coming to the mainland to sell crystals shows that she genuinely needs money.

"The gold coins are in the coastal town; I can give them to you after we get back."

Hela nodded. "The transaction will take place on the small island where you previously docked." The near-shore island is located in the Elven Sea and belongs to the territory of Near-Sea Town.

Trading on the island is safe for both parties.

While Loris believed in Hela, Hela also believed that Loris would not break her promise.

Loren had even fewer concerns.

The intelligence reports had already mentioned that Hela harbored no ill intentions towards them.

With the guide in hand, Loris ordered the captain to change course.

She knew this trip was risky, but risks and rewards go hand in hand.

Loris is the lord of Nearshore Town and a knight of the Silvermoon family.

Almost all the knights in the Elf Kingdom share the same dream.

Conquer dragons and become a dragon knight!

Loris felt a faint sense of anticipation.

What if that dragon deliberately stayed on the island to lay an egg?

If she obtains the dragon egg, wouldn't she become the only dragon knight in the Elf Kingdom?

The ship sailed into the fog, and the captain at the helm could no longer see the direction.

He could only follow Hela's guidance.

The crew on board were also very nervous.

They are all ordinary people.

Once you lose your way at sea, what's the difference between that and losing your life?
But if they manage to get back alive, this experience will be something they can brag about for years to come!
The next morning, the ship finally broke through the fog, and the captain could vaguely see a small island.

Hela returned to Loris's side.

"That island is filled with the aura of demonic flames. I'll be waiting for you here."

She didn't want to go near that island.

Loris looked at the island, her eyes filled with excitement.

Loren was in the same boat. Now, ten days after setting sail, he had finally seen the island!
There is treasure left behind by a dragon on the island!

The ship docked.

Loren wakes up Liz, who is seasick.

"Liz, we're ashore. Come down and get some fresh air."

Liz got up feeling dizzy.

After disembarking, she vomited repeatedly on the shore.

She vowed that she would never board a ship again!

"Liz, you stay here and keep watch. Loris and I will go explore the island."

"Yes..." Liz replied weakly.

Loren never expected that a mid-level knight would get seasick.

He and Lorice began exploring the island.

The island wasn't large, and it was desolate, with a scorching heat permeating the air.

This is proof of the dragon's passage.

After the Demon Flame Dragon came, almost everything on the island was burned to ashes.

"Loren! Look!"

Loris gasped.

On the empty ground were countless fiery red crystals!
"Demon Flame Stone!" Loren's eyes widened.

"Yes, Demon Flame Stones! And the quantity is enormous!"

There must be at least a thousand of these Demon Flame Stones scattered all over the ground!

A Demon Flame Stone of the same size is worth at least twenty times more than a Demon Jade!
One magic jade costs 5 gold coins, and one magic flame stone costs at least 100 gold coins!
"The energy in these Demon Flame Stones is exceptionally pure; they are the finest among Demon Flame Stones!" Loris felt excited as she sensed the flame energy within the crystals.

Magic crystals can be used as food for spirit insects, and can also enhance a knight's fighting spirit, helping the knight advance in rank.

With these magic flame stones, Loris will soon be able to advance to the rank of Earth Knight!

"Go back and find the chest, and pack all these Demon Flame Stones in!"

Loris immediately took action.

Loren continued his search on the island, and behind a large pile of magic flame stones, there grew a large patch of fiery red broadleaf grass.

Magic flame grass!
One of them is a Cordyceps that is about to give birth to a Demon Flame Grass Spirit Insect!
