Now that everything was settled, the first thing Li Huailin needed to do was to send Hai Tianlan away.
"F * ck! You have so many gold coins on you?" Hai Tianlan was slightly surprised to see Li Huailin trade 100,000 gold coins. In fact, Li Huailin really did have a lot of money on him. After trading 100,000 gold coins, he still had more than 270,000 gold coins left.
"Is the quest completed?" Li Huailin asked.
"It's completed," Hai Tianlan said. Hai Tianlan said, "But it's different from what I expected. We only received 100,000 EXP, 500 gold, and a piece of Gold-grade equipment. It doesn't feel like an AA-level hidden reward. It seems like the storyline wasn't triggered and was forcefully destroyed."
"Anyway, I'm compensating you." Li Huailin said. "There's nothing else here. I need to deal with the situation here. You can return to the city first," Li Huailin said.
"Yes, yes, yes. You're the employer," Hai Tianlan said. "Don't worry. I still remember what happened. That's it."
"Okay. Goodbye. Let's keep in touch if there's anything else," Li Huailin nodded.
Hai Tianlan quickly left, and Li Huailin returned to his position as Viscount Modak. Next, it was time to deal with the troublesome princess and Ames. However, before Li Huailin could say anything, Viscount Modak approached him.
"Lord Duke, Lord Duke!" Modick had been scared out of his wits. Now that he had regained his senses, he hurried over to Li Huailin and begged for forgiveness. "Your Grace, you must believe me. I'm really not a member of the rebel army. They came here a few months ago, took over my territory, and replaced all my men with theirs. They even forced me to cooperate with them. I … I really had no choice."
"In other words, they occupied this place before attacking the main city?" Li Huailin asked. "No wonder there's been no news. So you were covering for them."
"It's not like that, Your Grace. They really forced me." Viscount Modak hurriedly said, "I knew I wouldn't be able to explain this clearly. Lord Duke, you must trust me and help me explain the situation."
"What's the use of explaining the situation?" Li Huailin said, "You're afraid of death and you're protecting a traitorous army. Even if you were forced to do so, you're still guilty of treason. Basically, Reggie, what's your crime again?"
"My Lord, treason will be punished by all three races," Reggie immediately replied.
"What … …" Modak collapsed to the ground.
"Okay, okay, take him away first," Li Huailin said. "You two over there, come over here."
Li Huailin pointed to Fantine and Ames. Ames was already seriously injured, but Dramo was still looking at him nervously, afraid that something would happen to Ames. After all, this guy was a former god of war. Although he was seriously injured, he couldn't be taken lightly.
"Don't worry," Li Huailin said. "The princess is in our hands. Do you dare to do anything?"
Indeed, Ames didn't dare to do anything. He still had the last of his strength, but he didn't dare to move because Fantine was in Gina's hands. According to Gina's level and his current state, Ames wasn't confident that he could save Fantine, so he didn't dare to move.
Just like that, the two were brought in front of Li Huailin. Li Huailin sighed. "I say, you two, I let you go last time. You should cherish it. Why are you here again?"
"How can I give up? My father died in the hands of that Anthony. He offended his superiors …" Fantine said agitatedly, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Li Huailin.
"I understand the logic, but what's the use of saying this?" Li Huailin said. "Everything in the New Empire is developing smoothly now. It's almost impossible for you to continue to cause trouble."
"…" Fantine didn't say anything. No one knew if she agreed or what.
"So it's better to worry about yourself now," Li Huailin said. "If you want to continue living, you'd better answer my questions."
"Can I still live?" Fantine smiled. "I'm the princess of the former Empire, and the leader of the rebel army. Tell me how I can survive. "
"Yeah, but you're still on the run. It seems like only your people and my people know about this situation," Li Huailin suddenly said.
"Huh?" Fantine was slightly stunned. "You really want to let me go? Aren't you afraid … "
"What's there to be afraid of? I already said no one knows," Li Huailin said.
"Hmm …" Fantine paused for a moment, then suddenly looked at Viscount Modak.
"Oh, and you too." Li Huailin suddenly smiled. Viscount Modak, on the other hand, was suddenly terrified.
"Your Grace, I didn't hear anything. I'm yours from now on. I'll never betray you." Although Viscount Modak wasn't much of a person, he still had political sense. He had to quickly show his loyalty, or else he would be dead.
"Reggie, send him on his way." Li Huailin didn't care and waved his hand. Reggie's expression was a little heavy, but he didn't hesitate and immediately walked towards Viscount Modak.
"No … Your Grace, I really …" Viscount Modak was a harmless creature, so he didn't resist at all when Reggie grabbed his head and twisted it. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Let me correct you. Now, only your people and my people know," Li Huailin said, spreading his hands.
Li Huailin's decisiveness made Fantine feel a little afraid. She looked at Li Huailin's face and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"That's a lot of questions." Li Huailin nodded. "But first, I want to start with this box. Did you send someone to get this box?"
"Yes …" After thinking for a while, Fantine nodded. "I sent someone, but they didn't respond. I thought the plan had failed, so I didn't follow up on it. But today, I suddenly received news that someone had come to submit a mission, so I forced them to stay."
"So you know this thing is very important." Li Huailin nodded. "What's inside?"
"Haven't you already seen it?" Fantine retorted from the side.
"I have, but I still want to ask you what's inside?" Li Huailin asked.
"…" Fantine paused for a moment. "I don't know."
"Oh?" Li Huailin was stunned. "You don't know? Then why did you get this? "
"All I know is that it's a very important thing," Fantine said. "Because I know what it's used for …"
"Its use?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. "What use?"
"It … can be used to threaten my sister, the current queen," Fantine said.
"Oh." Li Huailin nodded. This thing could really do that. In fact, this matter was related to Marina. "How do you know about this?"
"I've seen it before. I remember now," Fantine said.
"That means you've seen someone threaten Marina with this thing before?" Li Huailin nodded slightly. "That means the person who threatened Marina is the owner of this thing. Then the next question is, this thing, who … does it belong to?"
"Will you really let us go?" Fantine thought for a moment and asked again.
"Of course. What use do you have to me?" Li Huailin said. "Perhaps you think I should hand you over? But think about it carefully. What's in it for me to hand you over? For money? For power? Or the emperor's trust? Do I lack these things now? So, there's no difference whether I hand you over or not. But it's the same the other way around. I don't need you at all. There's no difference between killing you and not killing you. So, don't think too much about it. Just answer my question. "
Li Huailin wasn't wrong at all. His words were very reasonable, and Fantine could also understand this matter. After a moment of silence, Fantine said, "Karzilos …"
"Karzilos?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. He did not know this guy at all. But the people around him reacted when they heard the name.
"Reggie, who is this Karzilos?" Li Huailin asked.
"A military figure," Reggie replied immediately. "The Count of the Empire, the Deputy Marshal of the Empire's First Legion, and one of the most powerful figures in the army. Basically, he's second only to the emperor in the First Legion."
"First Legion? Wilham's Deputy General? "Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, my lord." Reggie nodded.
"Roar …" Li Huailin smiled slightly. "Introduce this guy."
"I'm not too sure. He's not from a noble family," Reggie said. "He's been in the First Legion for many years. He's been here since the era of Marshal Morpheus. He's been rising from the bottom and has now risen to the position of Deputy Marshal. It seems that he's very likely to be the next Marshal."
"There's such a mysterious person. I actually didn't know about him." Li Huailin smiled slightly. "This is a little interesting."
"This guy actually threatened the queen?" Dramo said with a little surprise. "What method did he use?"
"Hehe." Li Huailin did not answer. He did not want to say because he suddenly thought of many things. "Alright, I understand. Dramo, Gina, let them go. I already know about this. Let them go."
