"Don't you think this is a good way to handle things?" Li Huailin was still waiting for the guild leader to send the items over. He was also talking to the Jade Emperor. Of course, it was mainly about the tea party.
"The guild leader has become a noble. Some things have to change." The Jade Emperor sighed. "It would be great if it could continue like this."
"That depends on what the guild leader is thinking …" Li Huailin said. Suddenly, he saw a person walking in from the door. It was obviously the person who was going to send them the items. However, the man didn't walk towards Li Huailin's direction. Instead, he walked to the side of the club leader and whispered a few words into his ear.
"What?" The leader of the club immediately shouted.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin, of course, immediately walked over. Seeing the situation, it seemed that something had happened.
"This … this … Sir, something happened." The guild leader was sweating profusely. Of course, he was nervous. After all, the guy in front of him was a cruel guy. He could easily vent his anger on him.
"Something happened?" Li Huailin squinted his eyes. "Don't tell me it's lost."
"This … I don't know yet," the guild leader said with a guilty conscience.
"You don't know? What do you mean? "Li Huailin asked.
"Our base … seems to have been attacked," the guild leader replied.
"Attacked?" Li Huailin was slightly stunned. "What a coincidence. Now?"
"Yes. We don't know the specific situation yet. Should we … go and take a look now?" The guild leader thought for a while and said.
"Let's go." Li Huailin waved his hand and said.
They quickly set off, heading towards the territory of the guild leader called Mather. Along the way, Li Huailin also asked about the situation. The headquarters of Mather's guild was set up in Cesidus City. It was considered one of the largest guilds in the city. Of course, it had a lot of members. It was very unexpected that they were attacked this time. It was true that Mather's guild had a lot of enemies. However, there were not many people who dared to cause trouble in this area. Even if they did, they should not have made any moves recently. After all, they were facing attacks from foreign enemies. Now was the time to unite. Who would fight a civil war at a time like this?
"Could it be that someone wants to frame me?" Marther suddenly said, "The thing that Sir wants is with me. All the leaders of the guilds know that. If I can't get it now, Sir might … Could it be that someone is planning to use Sir to get rid of me?"
Mather said this to give Li Huailin a heads-up. Of course, the main point was to save his life. Now that he said this, Li Huailin would have to think twice if he really wanted to take action.
The timing was indeed a bit of a coincidence. Li Huailin felt that it should have something to do with the thing that he wanted. However, whether or not it was done by the guild leaders in the city, Li Huailin felt that he still needed to verify it. He felt that no one would do something like this at this time. After all, if they were really found out, they would die a horrible death. Li Huailin felt that no one would risk their life to plot against Mather's guild.
In any case, the group soon arrived at the scene of the incident. Before they even got close, Li Huailin had already seen the fire soaring into the sky. It was estimated that Mather's stronghold was burning now. A large group of people had gathered around the stronghold. Don't get me wrong, they were not onlookers. Because there was no administrative government in Cesidus, the general public security was maintained by the guilds. Now that the people in the city had basically been driven home, the people who were currently at the scene were all members of the guilds.
Of course, the guilds in the city now knew that Li Huailin had come here. Not long after they left, they immediately received news that Mather's stronghold was in trouble. They also knew that the thing that Li Huailin wanted was now with Mather. Li Huailin saved the lives of the entire city because of this thing. Now that this thing was missing, they might all be in trouble. So when they received the news, they quickly sent people to help.
When Li Huailin and the others arrived, the rescue work here had already begun. A large number of guild members were now fighting the fire and saving people. Most of the guild leaders also directly went to the scene to command. After all, they had to do this for Li Huailin.
When they saw Li Huailin and the others coming over, everyone automatically made way for Li Huailin and the others to enter smoothly. Of course, they all followed behind Li Huailin.
When Li Huailin arrived at the front, he found that it was a small building. It was estimated that it had three or four floors before, but now it was completely unrecognizable. It felt like this place was blown up by some kind of C4 bomb, and now only half of the building was left. Of course, the building here was not a concrete and steel structure. All kinds of wooden beams caused the fire to be unable to be put out at all. Even the several buildings next to it were affected by the fire. Even with so many people now fighting the fire, the fire was simply out of control.
"Sir, the current fire is simply uncontrollable." Several guild leaders also came up and said.
"I saw it." Li Huailin nodded, then directly said to the Summon Jade Emperor next to him, "Summon, help me find someone in my territory. I will investigate here."
At this time, the Summon Jade Emperor did not say anything. After all, Li Huailin had just helped her with something, and now it was her turn to work. Hence, she nodded, asked who Li Huailin was looking for, and immediately set off.
Li Huailin also asked Marther about the specific situation. First of all, it seemed that the first floor of the house was still intact, so the place where the incident happened should be on the second floor and above. According to Marther, the place where they were going to auction was on the third floor of the headquarters. The items were also kept in the warehouse on the third floor, so it should be certain that that was the place where the incident happened. At present, it seemed that this matter was related to the auction items.
"There are definitely no explosive items in the auction." Marther also said, "We don't dare to auction such dangerous things in our stronghold. Even if we want to sell it, we will find another place to trade it."
Marther also did not hide the fact that he had traded such dangerous items before. It was normal for a guild like theirs to trade such illegal goods, but this time, they really did not have such things. This auction was only to raise funds, so most of the items sold were handicrafts. Of course, most of them were stolen goods.
Indeed, there was nothing wrong with what Marther said. When Li Huailin looked at the list, he also noticed that most of the items were handicrafts, but there were also a few other things. The eyeball that was mentioned previously was a weapon. Li Huailin also wanted to know the origin of this thing, but he had never asked before. He just wanted to get it in his hands before asking about it.
"That thing is actually considered stolen goods." Marther explained, "Sir, you may know that we have some connections with some organizations like bandits or mountain bandits …"
"Can't you just say it? I'm not part of the government army. I won't arrest you for this kind of thing. I just want to get it back now. Otherwise, you'll really be miserable." Li Huailin said immediately when he heard this guy's hesitation.
"Yes, sir." Marther nodded. "In fact, the goods they give us are usually stolen goods, which are things that they robbed from others. This thing was actually sold to us by a bandit group, but at that time, we bought it all at once and paid the other party 5,000 gold coins. At first, we thought that this thing was just a strange ornament. At first, I thought so too. However, a researcher in our organization found that this thing contains a kind of energy. It seems that it can be used as an energy weapon. So, we applied for it to be used to study it. I agreed at that time, but I didn't expect him to really research some ways to use it. "
"Researcher? You're an evil scientist, right? Does every group really have this setting? "Li Huailin facepalmed." How does it work? "
"Sir, look at this picture." Marther took out the previous brochure and explained to Li Huailin, "Look at the outside of this eyeball. This thing that looks like an iron shelf seems to be something that can extract energy from the eyeball. After hitting it, the energy can be shot out through the crystal in front. Basically, it can be used as something like a gun."
"This is an energy weapon?" Li Huailin facepalmed. "How powerful is it? What other functions does it have? Will it explode? "
"This … I've only seen its power once. It's about the power of a gun. As for the other parameters, I don't really know. I didn't pay much attention to this thing …" Marther said nervously.
It was possible that Marther didn't know much about it. After all, this guy was a big boss, and it was not a research matter. It seemed that it was best to find this researcher and ask him about it. Li Huailin immediately asked, "What about this researcher?"
"This … Sir, I don't know either," Marther said. "I'll help you ask him now."
"Hurry up." Li Huailin waved his hand.
Just as Li Huailin asked Marther to look for the researcher, a blue halo appeared in the sky and flew directly toward Li Huailin. Li Huailin looked up and immediately shouted to the sky, "Comar, put out the fire immediately."
"Yes, Your Majesty," a reply came from the sky.
