"F * ck …" Geert was overjoyed when he saw Li Huailin. However, he was immediately taken aback. The person who yelled "nonsense" just now was Li Huailin. He recalled that it was his Lord's voice, but he didn't recognize it just now. This was going to be troublesome.
Geert had a bad feeling when he saw Li Huailin's face. He quickly came down and said, "My Lord, you're back! It's great that you're back!"
"That bastard told you that I was sick from anger," Li Huailin said.
"No, my Lord. You couldn't find anyone here, so we could only say that you were sick," Geert said innocently.
"Then who told you to clarify things? Did I tell them?" Li Huailin continued.
"Sigh …" Geert thought for a moment. "A few of us in the cabinet discussed it for a while. We think it's better to clarify things as soon as possible. It's obvious that the other party is framing us."
"Nonsense!" Li Huailin immediately said. "What are you doing? You're giving me trouble. Watch me!"
Li Huailin walked up the stage after he finished speaking. Although Geert was a little worried, he immediately followed him. There was a commotion in the audience. Li Huailin hadn't made an appearance since the incident happened. This was his first time on the stage. No one knew what Li Huailin was going to say.
Li Huailin stood on the stage and looked down. The people in the audience were a little mixed. Not only were there humans, but there were also many other races, such as Elves, Demons, and even Orcs. Not only did they look like reporters, but they also looked like nobles. Of course, Li Huailin didn't know any of them.
The civilians were blocked at the gate. Yes, they couldn't enter at all. However, they still surrounded the gate and looked over. They seemed very nervous.
The scene was similar to a real press conference. However, when Li Huailin went up the stage, the slightly chaotic situation immediately quieted down. Everyone wanted to hear what Li Huailin was going to say.
"I heard that a lot of elemental creatures have appeared out of nowhere recently. Someone said that I did it?" Li Huailin said. "Tell me, who said that?"
The audience was still quiet. Of course, Li Huailin didn't expect anyone to answer. He was about to continue speaking when someone actually stepped forward. The person who stepped forward was a human NPC who looked to be in his fifties. He stepped forward and said to Li Huailin, "Duke Li Huailin, I am Kasad, the Prime Minister of the neutral nation Rankovitch. My nation is currently being threatened by elemental creatures, and it was the lords of the Saint-level Alliance who helped us. According to them, the elemental creatures appeared because you buried the Magus Tower out of selfishness, which caused the elemental power to become chaotic and caused the elemental rifts to appear, causing the elemental creatures to swarm into our nation. This was personally told to me by Saint Elavi, and I think it makes sense. After all, we haven't encountered such a situation in the past few centuries, and that's all because of the Magus Tower. Now that the Magus Tower has just been buried, the elemental creatures are invading. Isn't that the reason behind it?"
As Kasad spoke, he began to incite the people around him. This action made it clear that this fellow was definitely sent by the Saint-class Alliance. After all, he had heard that Li Huailin was going to clarify this matter, so he was 100% sure that the other party would send someone to cause trouble. Geert had already expected this, and had already sent people to deal with it.
"Duke, this person must have been sent by the other party." Upon seeing this, Geert immediately stepped forward and whispered into Li Huailin's ear, "Should we take him away?"
"No, no, no …" Li Huailin waved his hand. Now that someone had spoken up for him, he didn't have to explain himself. He waved his hand at Kasad, and said, "Alright, this Prime Minister of a neutral nation is right."
"Huh?" Everyone was taken aback. They knew who Kasad was speaking up for. Shouldn't they be waiting to see how Li Huailin was going to retaliate? What was going on? If they said that he was right, wouldn't that mean that they were admitting that he was a bad person?
"But …" Li Huailin suddenly changed the topic, and everyone was stunned. He still had to change the topic. "But there are still some things that he said that were wrong. I will correct him a little."
"Alright, Duke, what did I say that was wrong?" Kasad immediately asked. He seemed to be very prepared, and wasn't worried about Li Huailin's quibbling at all.
"According to what you said, I attacked the Magus Tower out of selfishness, and then accidentally disrupted the elemental power, which led to the invasion of elemental creatures, right?" Li Huailin asked.
"Er … Yes." Kasad thought for a moment, and nodded. Although Li Huailin seemed to have emphasized the word "accidentally", which made it seem like he didn't do it on purpose, Kasad still nodded. Even if he didn't do it on purpose, it was still Li Huailin's fault.
"That's where you went wrong." Li Huailin immediately said, "How can you spout nonsense like that? You make it sound like I did something bad by accident. Isn't that going to cause everyone to misunderstand? Alright, everyone, listen up. I did all of this after careful consideration. You have to know that before attacking the Magus Tower, I looked through a large number of ancient books, and spent several days researching day and night to come up with the conclusion that the Magus Tower is the key to maintaining the balance of elemental power. Only by destroying the Magus Tower can the elemental power be disrupted, which will lead to the invasion of elemental power. This is all according to my calculations, so how can you say that I did it unintentionally and carelessly? Aren't you making all of my hard work go to waste? "
"Huh?" Needless to say, as soon as Li Huailin finished speaking, everyone looked at Li Huailin as if they were idiots. That's right, they didn't know what to do anymore. What was he talking about?
"That's right, I am the culprit behind the invasion of elemental creatures. That's why the Saint-level Alliance is right! Well said! I held this press conference to give the Saint-level Alliance a thumbs up. Everyone, give me a round of applause! "Li Huailin said.
"Er … Duke, are you admitting to it?" Kasad asked in a daze. That's right, he had prepared a lot of words that Li Huailin would use to quibble, but he hadn't prepared anything that Li Huailin would say after admitting to it. Who could have known that Li Huailin would admit to it?
"That's right, I admit to it," Li Huailin immediately said. "I did it."
"Hey, hey, Lord!" Geert immediately reacted, and said, "Lord, we can't admit to this. We'll become the public enemy of the entire continent!"
"Eh? Isn't that good? "Li Huailin said.
"Huh?" Geert was stunned for a long time. "No, Lord, this will really be a big problem. This … this …"
Geert didn't know what to say. Although the Duke liked to act recklessly every time, he shouldn't play around like this. Wasn't this really troublesome? Although Li Huailin had received the recognition of many forces as the Emperor of the continent, there were still many forces that opposed him. The foundation wasn't stable yet, and he hadn't even ascended to the throne yet. Wasn't this just making things difficult for himself?
Geert also didn't know how to advise this abnormal Lord. Just as he was thinking of a way, he suddenly heard a cry in front of him. Looking up, he saw a human noble running to the front of the stage and suddenly kneeling, scaring the guards. They thought that the noble was going to assassinate Li Huailin, so they quickly surrounded him.
"Wait." Li Huailin waved his hand to stop the guards who were about to come up. He said to the kneeling person, "Who are you? What's wrong?"
"Lord Duke, I'm King Satmo of the Coco Lawton Kingdom." Satmo lowered his head and said with tears and snot, "Our Coco Lawton Kingdom was just attacked by elemental creatures. Not only was the city destroyed, but my palace was also destroyed. Many of my subjects died, and even my beloved wife and son are nowhere to be found. I came here because I heard that you were the culprit behind this incident and wanted to ask for an explanation. I didn't expect it to really be you … Because of you, my family was destroyed, and my kingdom was destroyed. I … I really don't know how to thank you for your great kindness … "
"Huh?" Behind him, Geert was dumbfounded. 'Are you f * cking alright? Why are you shedding tears of gratitude even though your family has been destroyed and your mountains and rivers have been destroyed?'
"No, no, no …" Li Huailin walked over and helped Satmo up. He patted his shoulder and said, "You don't have to be like this. I just did a small thing. You don't have to thank me …"
The scene was so touching that the people behind were moved to tears. A few people immediately ran over. "Lord! We are the same. Please let us thank you. "
"That's right, Lord Duke. My family was also destroyed because of you. Please let me thank you."
"Alright!" Li Huailin suddenly waved his hand. "I already said that this is just a small thing. As a sinner of the world, this is something I should do. Don't you think so?"
"His Royal Highness is righteous!" Although Li Huailin had not ascended to the throne yet, these people had already started to address him as His Royal Highness. This meant that they had acknowledged Li Huailin's status.
"Mm, alright. Do you have any other questions?" Li Huailin looked at the people below. Of course, no one had any questions now. Those with high favorability were now thanking Li Huailin. Those with low favorability did not know what was going on. They were all stunned. "If there's nothing else, that's all. Disperse."
