Inside the palace, Anthony and Li Huailin were having a private conversation in Anthony's study. It was obvious that Anthony was in a good mood. He spoke with a hint of pride. After all, this was the greatest victory of the human race in a hundred years. As the emperor, of course, he would benefit the most from it. Although the new empire had only been established for less than a year, it seemed that the people no longer cared about the legitimacy of the empire. No one cared about the former royal family, either. Instead, they praised and supported Anthony everywhere, which made him very happy.
However, after a few months of experience, Anthony was becoming more and more like a qualified politician. Although he was happy, he still carefully analyzed the current situation.
"Do the dragons pose a threat to us?" Anthony asked.
"I'm not sure. I'm also being cautious here. Let's talk about the situation with the Beasts first." Li Huailin said, "It seems that the dragons' attitude toward us is relatively good. Their target isn't us, and our current target isn't them either."
"Hmm." Anthony nodded. The goal of the Human Race now was definitely not the Dragons, but the Undead. Apart from the Human Race, the ones who benefited the most from this war were the Undead. Now that the Undead were developing as fast as the Human Race, of course, it had also attracted the attention of the Human Race. Anthony also instantly understood Li Huailin's meaning.
"The development of the Undead is very worrying. In fact, I've received reports that the Undead not only have strange giant beasts, but they also have bone dragons …" Anthony said.
"In this way, at least we don't have to worry about the dragons befriending the Undead," Li Huailin said.
"Hmm." Anthony nodded. "That's not bad. If we can befriend the dragons, we'll have an ally against the Undead."
"So now, we just need to focus on developing our own strength," Li Huailin said. "I also want to talk about this. Now that the territory has expanded, I think the original establishment of the army is not enough. It's time to expand the army."
"Hmm." Anthony had already thought of this. In fact, even if Li Huailin did not mention it, Anthony would have brought it up. "I've already asked Wilham to start studying it. I think there will be a preliminary plan soon."
"I see. Leave this to Wilham. I can't be bothered," Li Huailin said, waving his hand.
"Sure enough, he's still as lazy as before." Anthony sighed. "But Huailin, you really solved a big problem for me this time. I have to thank you."
"Big trouble?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. He suddenly thought that it might be related to his reward, so he nodded. However, the big trouble that Anthony was talking about was actually Su Lan.
"Speaking of which, how did you know about this gem?" Anthony suddenly asked. This was also what Sulan and Marina had asked him to clarify.
"Hmm?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. He did not know that the Peerless Gem was with him. Didn't Su Lan say it herself? Although he did not understand what was going on, since the topic was brought up, Li Huailin took out the notebook. "I was tracking the whereabouts of these gems and asked around along the way."
"Hmm?" Anthony took it and flipped it over. Sure enough, he saw the appearance of Wushuang's gem. It was exactly the same as the one he had seen before. "What is this?"
"Do you remember a man called Count Chittallera?" Li Huailin asked.
"Count Chittallera?" Anthony was slightly stunned. "Since you're asking me this, it means that I used to know him, right? But I can't remember now."
"Count Chittallera seems to be the owner of this notebook," Li Huailin said. "I was looking for these gems and found you."
"What did you find?" Anthony asked. "Since it's related to me, tell me about it. Maybe it will remind me of something."
"I found out that this Count Chittallera seems to know you." Li Huailin said, "He was also looking for gems before he disappeared. There's another strange thing. Fourteen years ago, you were chased by someone."
"Chased by someone? By who? "Anthony asked.
"How would I know? I heard that you and your pursuers ran to the side of a giant dragon and angered it. Then, the dragon went berserk and killed your pursuers. Then, you used the Peerless Gem that was about to be auctioned to lure the dragon to escort you back to the city," Li Huailin said.
"I did something like that?" Anthony asked. "This … was what the dragon told you?"
"Uh …" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. Why did he just blurt it out? Just as he was thinking about what to do, Anthony continued, "Did the dragon who visited the elves tell you about it?"
"Yes, yes," Li Huailin said immediately. "One of them was the dragon who saved you."
"I see … Fourteen years ago. I didn't expect me to be so quick-witted." Anthony smiled. "But I can't remember it at all. But it's strange. You said that Peerless was about to be auctioned … Why did this gem appear in my hands now? Indeed, I did ask Marina about it. I gave this gemstone to her before I joined the army, and it was about 14 years ago. However, I also did some research, and with my family background, it was impossible for me to afford this gemstone. "
"Of course I don't know. I just want you to think about it and see if you can remember it," Li Huailin said.
"Hmm …" Anthony thought for a while. "I can't remember my past at all. If it was a mess, I could still think of a way to straighten it out. But now, it's a complete blank."
"Tell me the truth. Have you ever thought about restoring your previous memory?" Li Huailin suddenly asked.
"Of course I want to." Anthony said, "I've found a few people to help me, but no one knows what's wrong with me. Plus, the country has just been established, and there are too many things to do. I basically don't have time on my side."
"That's true …" Li Huailin nodded.
"Are you looking for these gems?" Anthony continued to flip through the notebook and said, "Do you need my help? I can help you look around the country. "
"In fact, I've almost found them. The only thing left is this last one. There are no clues at all." Li Huailin turned to the last page and showed Anthony the last gem.
"Understood. I'll ask the shadow guards to help you." Anthony looked at the last gem, then nodded and said.
"That's for the best." Li Huailin nodded. Of course, it was a good thing to use the Empire's intelligence department to help him. Li Huailin also nodded. Of course, he would continue to look for it.
The two chatted for a while for the rest of the time, but it didn't take long because Anthony was too busy. After a while, he had to deal with state affairs. So, Li Huailin took the opportunity to leave.
"See you at the reward party three days later." Anthony said with a smile.
"Hmm." Li Huailin nodded.
Walking out of the palace, Li Huailin looked at the time. It was almost time to rest. Today was really a busy day. After going offline, Li Huailin reorganized a little and then went to rest.
The next day, Li Huailin went online on time as usual. The first thing Li Huailin did was to go to the Undead to assign tasks. As usual, he teleported to Argos' side. Li Huailin quickly found Soudeis, who was busy in the main city of the Demons. He mainly wanted to listen to Soudeis's report and plan for the Undead for a period of time.
"The main thing is to digest the territories of the dwarves and the Demons. This part of the work is the focus of the recent period," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Your Highness." Soudeis nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "Do we need to set up a new lord for the new territory?"
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded. "Isn't there a new Warlock Saint in our Undead Race? We have to at least give him some instructions and let him be the new overlord."
"Mage Lord?" Soudeis frowned slightly. "Your Highness, this …"
"I know, I know. This will cause controversy. It doesn't matter. With me around, nothing will go wrong." Li Huailin said. After thinking for a while, he said, "Liu Ke's adjutant, Shuploan, performed well in this war. Let Yaze promote him to a lord."
"Your Highness, isn't the promotion too fast …" Soudeis suggested. He did not dare to object because Shuploan was brought by Li Huailin, which meant that he was a direct descendant. If he objected, it might cause Li Huailin to misunderstand. He could only say that it was too fast.
"Don't worry about it. Just promote him directly," Li Huailin said. "You can handle the other aspects of the work here. I have something to do recently, so I won't be back often."
"Yes, Your Highness." Soudeis nodded.
He was about to discuss other details with Soudeis, but after a while, the long-distance communication suddenly rang. Li Huailin took a look and saw that it was Hongyan drinking water …
Li Huailin had a slight headache, but he still picked up the call.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, there's a result from the last mission." Hongyan drank water and happily said, "Your subordinate came to our guild's shop to inform us that the investigation has been completed. Let's quickly form a team to do the mission."
"Oh?" Li Huailin was slightly taken aback. This Pollitt was quite smart. Since he could not find Li Huailin, he went to look for someone else in the team. Li Huailin had also told him that there were two shops in the main city that belonged to him and asked him to look after them. "Understood. Let's assemble now."
