Of course, Li Huailin wouldn't report to the Divine Sword Guardian. He didn't know what would happen if he went to the Divine Sword Guardian's headquarters. Fortunately, Issac didn't arrive at the Divine Sword Guardian's headquarters at all. He discovered the problem halfway and rushed back. Therefore, he didn't know about Li Huailin's situation. Therefore, Li Huailin was able to summon the Jade Emperor to enter and exit the seal smoothly.
Of course, sooner or later, he would be discovered. Issac wasn't that stupid. If no one came for a day or two, he would know that something was wrong. Although the other party still trusted him, the most important thing for the Divine Sword Guardian was to protect the sword. Therefore, once they found out about Li Huailin's situation, no matter how much favorability he had, they would probably start a war.
Therefore, Li Huailin didn't have much time to waste. He immediately returned to his main city, Sovata City. Then, he went to the Duke's Mansion. However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Warren standing by the door. There were also several guards standing beside him. It seemed like they were looking at him.
"Your Majesty." "Your Majesty." Seeing Li Huailin appear, Warren and the guards immediately came to greet him.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin asked.
"It's like this, Your Majesty. This person said that he knows you, and you asked him to come here to wait for you. However, he can't provide the relevant proof, so we can't let him in," the guard explained.
"Oh, I see," Li Huailin nodded, then said, "His name is Warren, and he will be my subordinate from now on."
"Yes," the two guards immediately nodded.
"Go and find Geert," Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes."
Without saying anything else, Li Huailin directly led Warren into the Duke's Mansion. Before they entered the door, Geert had already rushed out. It was obvious that Geert also noticed Warren standing beside Li Huailin, but he didn't ask. Instead, he directly bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
"Geert, there's something urgent here. I'll leave it to you," Li Huailin said immediately. "Do you know about the Automaton race?"
"Yes, Your Majesty." They rarely interact with other races on the continent, and it's rare to encounter them in the cities. I heard that they established their own country, but they didn't establish diplomatic relations with any other races. Of course, they got along well with the gnomes. However, after the gnome country was destroyed in the Undead War a hundred years ago, they didn't establish diplomatic relations with any other countries. To be honest, they have disappeared for a long time. No one knows where they are. "
"I know where it is now." Li Huailin pointed at Warren and said, "This person knows where the city of the Automaton race is. I need you to make an announcement. Simply put, the Automaton race should immediately join our side. Then, to express their loyalty, they must offer up a treasure called the Gem of Life."
"Your Majesty wants to make a move against the Automaton race?" Geert had a slight headache. Previously, he felt that Li Huailin was taking too big a step. He had just sent a notice to the Dark Church, and he still didn't know what was going on. Now, he had to deal with the Automaton race after returning.
"No, I don't care about the Automaton race. What I need now is that treasure." Li Huailin immediately said. "As long as they hand over the treasure, it doesn't matter if they join us or not. I'm just finding an excuse, that's all."
"So that's how it is." Geert nodded. "Since it's just a treasure, I don't think the Automaton race will be so unwise. I'll personally make a trip there and give them a hint. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"No, you don't need to go this time." Li Huailin waved his hand. "It might be a little dangerous this time. You can just send someone."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Geert was a little moved, but Li Huailin was thinking that if such a powerful internal affairs officer were to die, who would help him deal with the government affairs? Wouldn't that be too much trouble? Therefore, Geert must be protected.
"In that case, I recommend Wodeheem. He is a clever person." Geert said after a little consideration. This Wodeheem was the person who led the way for Li Huailin during the ascension ceremony. Because he didn't do a good job last time, Geert accidentally bore a grudge against him. Now, Geert was thinking of ways to exclude this guy. Hearing that there was danger, he hurriedly recommended this guy.
"Alright, it's him." Naturally, Li Huailin couldn't remember who Wodeheem was. In any case, anyone was fine. "Then, Warren will go with him. Warren."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Warren immediately bowed and said.
"Everything else isn't important. What I need now is the Gem of Life. Once I get it, I'll come back immediately." Li Huailin said, "I'll wait for you here. You can leave now. Go and come back quickly. Geert, start writing the diplomatic documents and call Wodeheem."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Seeing that Li Huailin was a little anxious, Geert didn't dare to delay and immediately got to work.
Li Huailin's cabinet immediately got to work. Their efficiency was amazing. Li Huailin only waited for a little while, and the diplomatic mission was already ready. As the envoy, Wodeheem held the document of negotiation. Warren was immediately assigned an identity and became the deputy envoy. Accompanying him were a few unknown civil officials and a group of guards who seemed to be quite powerful.
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I won't let you down." Wodeheem was quite excited. After all, it seemed to be a very important mission. At this moment, he vaguely felt that his superior Geert wasn't too happy with him. If he didn't want anything to go wrong, he had to perform well in front of Li Huailin.
"You understand that the most important thing for this diplomatic mission is that treasure, right? Come back immediately after you get it, understand?" Li Huailin reminded him again.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand." Wodeheem already knew what Li Huailin meant and immediately nodded. He personally felt that this mission was quite simple. After all, it was just a treasure. No one would fall out with the current emperor over an item.
"It's good that you understand. I'll wait here for your news. I want it by today," Li Huailin said and waved his hand. "Go."
"Yes, Your Majesty." They nodded and left. On the other hand, Li Huailin stayed in the Duke's Mansion to wait for news. This was because he heard from Kakas that although the main city of the Automaton race, Alanke, didn't have a direct teleportation point, it wasn't far from the Dwarves' Midol City, so it should be relatively fast to go back and forth. Li Huailin was anxiously waiting for the results, so he just waited.
While waiting, Li Huailin went offline to eat something and read the situation in the chat room. His main job was to ask Ceci about a place.
"Oh, the west of the continent should be the Demons' territory," Ceci said while looking at the map. Ceci said as he looked at the map, "The westernmost part should be the demons' Landoris Province. It's this place."
Ceci was indeed a walking dictionary. He could easily point out the location of various places to Li Huailin. Li Huailin quickly understood the map.
"So this is the westernmost area?" Li Huailin looked at the place and nodded slightly. Then, he frowned. This place was too big. It was a bit troublesome. Yes, the reason why Li Huailin asked about this place was because of the Evil Demons' mission. After the matter of the Divine Sword was settled, he had to deal with the Evil Demons. The first thing he had to do was to help Dalrocos find his body. However, the clues given by Dalrocos were very vague. He only said that his body was in the westernmost area of the continent, but he didn't say any specific location. There was no other information. It wasn't a good idea for Li Huailin to search such a large area.
"So, should I ask the Demons to help me find it?" Li Huailin thought about it. After all, he was now the Emperor of the continent. If he couldn't find it, he could just give an order. It would be much more convenient for the Demons to help.
As he thought about it, Li Huailin looked at the map of the continent. Suddenly, he saw a small island marked on the westernmost outline of the continent. An idea flashed in Li Huailin's mind. He pointed at the island and asked, "What is this place?"
"Oh, the Keshna Island of the Demons. But this place is a little troublesome …" Ceci said with a frown.
"A little troublesome?" Li Huailin asked.
"I'm not very sure about the specific situation, but it is said that a few years ago, there were rumors of man-eating monsters appearing on this Keshna Island. I don't know what's going on now. Humans and Demons have been fighting for years, so there isn't much information between them …"
"Man-eating monsters?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. It sounded very strange, but this was a good thing. In a while, he would find time to ask the Devil Race about the situation. Maybe it had something to do with what he was looking for.
After chatting with Ceci for a while, Li Huailin looked at the time. It was a little late. He had waited for a long time. Theoretically, the diplomatic mission should be back by now. Warren should be even more anxious than him. He should be back as soon as he got the thing. This … Did something happen?
While he was thinking, he did not expect Geert to knock on the door. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you resting? I have something important to report. "
"Come in," Li Huailin said immediately. "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty." Geert immediately opened the door and said, "This is bad. Something big happened this time."
