The best way for Li Huailin and the others to find clues was to find out which auction house sold the stone, and then see if they could find the source of the stone.
But soon, something funny happened here, because the name of the auction house made Li Huailin a little dumbfounded.
"De 'an Auction House?" Li Huailin facepalmed. "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Karl nodded. "It is a business under the name of De 'an Chamber of Commerce. You know who is behind De' an Chamber of Commerce. Recently, their rise in the enemy's territory is unparalleled."
Of course, Li Huailin knew who was behind them. Wasn't De 'an Chamber of Commerce a business under his name? Jade Emperor also looked at Li Huailin inexplicably.
"Don't look at me, I just learned about it." Li Huailin said. "Anyway, let's find someone to ask about it first."
After saying goodbye to Karl, Li Huailin and the others quickly left through the teleportation array and arrived at the main city of the human race. Although De 'an Chamber of Commerce was Li Huailin's business, its headquarters was located in the main city. After all, there were many people here, and the commercial development of Li Huailin's territory was almost unsustainable because of his own relationship.
The main city was different from the previous small city like Sardinla City. Everyone here knew Li Huailin, otherwise, no one knew what would happen. As soon as Li Huailin arrived at the teleportation point, the news had already spread to all corners of the city. Of course, the headquarters of De 'an Chamber of Commerce in the main city also received the news. Immediately, the news reached President Polit's ears.
Hearing that Li Huailin had come to the commercial district, Polit hurriedly put down his work and immediately went to the door to welcome him. Although he didn't know whether Li Huailin came to inspect their Chamber of Commerce, it was always good to welcome him first. If he really came, it would be a big problem if they didn't welcome him.
Fortunately, Paulette came out to greet him this time because Li Huailin had really come for an inspection. Paulette wiped his sweat slightly. It was impossible for him to have no problems with such a big business. In fact, if Li Huailin really wanted to check his accounts, he could kill him in seconds. Polit was really a bit greedy on purpose, and it was a bit obvious, but it definitely didn't involve the main aspects. Because he knew how to conduct himself, he knew who his master was, and he wanted to put his master's weakness in his hands. If the master wanted to deal with him, he would do it. If Li Huailin was really determined to deal with him, it would be useless no matter how clean he was. This was completely up to Li Huailin, and he couldn't figure out Li Huailin's intention this time.
"Duke." Seeing Li Huailin coming over, Polit hurriedly went up to greet him.
"Oh, you're here." Li Huailin nodded. He seemed to be in a good mood. Polit also felt a little relieved. It didn't seem to be a bad thing. "It just so happens that I have something to ask you."
"Please instruct me, Duke." Polit immediately said. Of course, he knew his master's character. He had investigated him, and he had to. He knew that Li Huailin was too lazy to manage business and didn't know much about it. Therefore, he didn't come up to report the current development of the Chamber of Commerce. He knew that Li Huailin was too lazy to listen. As long as he could help Li Huailin solve his problems, he wouldn't care about anything else.
"Does our Chamber of Commerce have an auction house?" Li Huailin asked.
"Duke, not just one. Currently, we have an auction house in almost all the major cities in the empire. There are currently 22 in operation, and six under construction," Polit immediately replied.
"Oh, I see." Li Huailin nodded. "Help me look into this."
As Li Huailin spoke, he handed over the picture of the Holmland Stone. "This thing is called the Holmland Stone. It was sold in our auction house about a month ago. The person who bought it is called Luo Han. I don't know any other information, but I need information on this thing. Who sold it, where it was obtained, and the specific process."
"Please leave it to me." Polit immediately said, "But Duke, it will take some time to investigate …"
"About how long?" Li Huailin asked.
"Hmm, Duke, please give me one night," Polit said after some thought.
"Hmm?" Li Huailin looked at the time. It was indeed a little late. It was almost 12 o 'clock. It seemed that Polit was preparing to investigate overnight. Indeed, although it was an item sold in his auction house, there were more than 20 auction houses in his territory. Moreover, it was something that happened a month ago. Li Huailin nodded to show that he understood. "Alright, I'll get the report tomorrow."
"Yes, Duke." Polit immediately nodded.
"Is there anything else to report?" Li Huailin asked.
"The Chamber of Commerce is developing normally. It's all thanks to the blessings of Duke." Polit quickly flattered.
"Hmm, that's all." Li Huailin nodded, then turned to the others and said, "It seems that it will take some time to investigate. It's late now. Why don't we disperse first?"
"Hmm, I can't take it anymore," Hongyan said while drinking water. "It's too late. I'm so sleepy."
"As expected, she's just a kid," Li Huailin whispered.
"I'm not a kid." In the end, Hongyan heard him while drinking water.
"Anyway, it's too late today. Let's get some rest. We'll gather tomorrow morning. We'll gather in the main city at 9 o 'clock. What do you think?" the summoning Jade Emperor said.
"No problem." "Yes, that's fine." Several people on the other side also answered one after another.
After the event was dismissed, everyone left separately. Apart from Hongyan, who was so sleepy that she wanted to go offline, the others went to repair their equipment and replenish their potions. Soon, only Li Huailin was left. Li Huailin also thought about it for a while because he felt that there was something important that he didn't remember.
While he was recalling, he suddenly heard two passing NPC soldiers chatting. "I heard that we're about to attack the Demons' main city?"
"Yeah, I really want to go to the frontlines to fight the Demons …"
"F * ck!" Hearing this, Li Huailin suddenly remembered that he had forgotten about the Demons' main city. After calculating the time, the Undead army should be near the Demons' main city by now, but he had forgotten about it. What a responsible commander.
Looking at the time, it was almost midnight. Li Huailin had left a mark on Sulfur's body. After waiting for a while, just after midnight, Li Huailin's teleportation was restored. Li Huailin immediately activated the teleportation and went to check on the Undead army.
With a flash of white light, Li Huailin put on his cloak and appeared in the Undead army's main camp in the next second. Since he had suddenly appeared in front of Sulfur, he had not gotten used to the situation yet. He was startled and screamed, causing the guards at the entrance to rush in.
"What the hell are you screaming for?" Li Huailin asked.
"Uh … Your Highness, you scared me to death. I finally know why Soudeis suddenly appeared." Sulfur shook his head and said to the guards, "Hurry up and call Fiona and Maxim. His Highness is here."
"Yes." Li Huailin waited for a while, and soon, Fiona and Maxim arrived. As soon as they saw Li Huailin, they immediately got off the tracks. "Greetings, Your Highness."
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Li Huailin nodded. The two were talking about the ambush they had been ambushed, but Li Huailin did not want to care about it now. "Let's talk about the current situation first."
"Our army now has 15000 troops," Sulfur replied. "These are the remnants of Fiona and Maxim's troops, plus the number of soldiers we have recruited in the past few days."
"Hmm." Li Huailin nodded.
"This is the current location of our army." Maxim stepped forward and pointed at the military map. "We are about 40 kilometers away from the Demons' city. Of course, we can definitely reach it within a day."
"In other words, we can start attacking the city tomorrow?" Li Huailin asked.
"Your Highness, it's not that simple," Maxim said. "Although our army can arrive tomorrow, it's still not enough to attack the city. First, we have to find a way to set up our tents because we have to prepare to attack the city."
"Your Highness, the Demons should have discovered our movements," Sulfur said. "They have been stepping up their defense. It is estimated that there are at least 60,000 Demons in the Demons' city."
"We are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers. Most importantly, we don't have any siege weapons," Maxim said. Maxim continued, "The demon race's main city is high and deep. Without siege weapons, we won't be able to break in. We don't have anything right now. It will take at least half a month to make enough siege weapons."
"F * ck." Li Huailin facepalmed. "Half a month? That's too much."
"Not at all." Maxim replied. "We have lost a lot of craftsmen in the previous battle. There are very few craftsmen who know how to make siege weapons. Besides, it's very difficult to make a siege weapon like that …"
"Your Highness, although you said that we have to fight the Demons within a week, I think …" Sulfur said, feeling a little embarrassed. "I think it's impossible."
"Why don't we discuss with the humans? They are preparing to attack the Demons' city. It's just that they haven't arrived yet. It will take them another three to four days. They should have more siege weapons …" Fiona suggested.
"Wait …" Li Huailin suddenly raised his hand to stop them from talking. He then lowered his head and thought for a while. Suddenly, he laughed. "I … suddenly have a good idea. Isn't it just siege weapons? We have them."
