It had been a while since Li Huailin returned to the Duke's mansion. However, his mansion didn't change much. On the other hand, Li Huailin felt that the imperial palace next to it was getting bigger and bigger.
Of course, the construction of the Emperor's Palace hadn't been completed yet. Li Huailin could only see the rough outline of the palace. However, the size of the palace was getting more and more exaggerated. Didn't the Emperor tear down the northern city wall for the construction of the palace? Now, the entire construction site had spread to the north, almost reaching the size of Sorata City.
Li Huailin saw that the west wall seemed to be in the process of being demolished. He really didn't know what they were going to do. He guessed that they were going to build a very magnificent palace. Of course, Li Huailin wasn't very interested in these things. He had no interest in palaces and the like. According to his own concept, it was enough to have a house. Otherwise, he wouldn't live in an apartment. It looked nice, but it was super troublesome to live in … It was a waste.
Of course, he wouldn't stop Geert from doing this. He didn't live here anyway. While he was thinking about Geert, Li Huailin saw Geert running toward him. Yes, after all, when Li Huailin appeared at the gate, the soldiers went to report. Geert, of course, rushed over immediately.
"Your Majesty." Geert hurriedly bowed to Li Huailin. There were a few people following behind him. They were probably Geert's new secretaries. Li Huailin had never seen them before. As for the other ministers, he didn't see them either. They were probably busy now.
"It's great that Your Majesty is back," Geert said. "The countries of the six continents have sent their representatives …"
"Okay, okay, I don't have time." Li Huailin felt a headache when he heard about government affairs. "We'll talk about this later. This time, I'm here to look for someone."
"Uh … Your Majesty, who are you looking for?" Geert asked.
"Uh … what was it called again … that …" Li Huailin suddenly couldn't remember. Yes, of course, it wasn't that he couldn't remember Nemoya's name, but the name of Nemoya's incarnation. Of course, Nemoya didn't use her real body. Before, she had taken over an NPC's body, and then directly used her identity to stay at Li Huailin's side. However, he hadn't looked for her for so long that Li Huailin had forgotten the name of her avatar. He vaguely remembered that it was called Anna? Or Mina? After thinking for a while, Li Huailin said, "She's the Third Madam you were talking about."
"Third Madam?" Geert was slightly stunned, and then he touched his chin … To be honest, although Li Huailin's wife was still very important, the problem was … Li Huailin's wife hadn't been officially conferred a title. Yes, all the wives were randomly brought to the house by Li Huailin. There was no wedding or anything like that. Geert really couldn't remember the names of the wives here. Of course, except for those he was familiar with. For example, he knew Ceci, but the problem was that Geert really wasn't familiar with the few that usually didn't appear.
"This … Your Majesty, I really don't know much about the problems of the harem. It's better to let the wives handle it," Geert said after thinking for a while.
"Where's Ceci?" To be honest, Li Huailin didn't even know how many wives he had. Anyway, he just randomly placed them in the house. The only one he knew by name was Ceci.
"The Second Madam is in the house," Geert immediately replied. "She should be eating now."
Li Huailin looked at the time. It was indeed breakfast time, but he woke up earlier today, so he had already eaten. Of course, he didn't eat much in the game. Although he could still taste the food in the game, he couldn't eat his fill. After all, there wasn't a setting for satiety, and it could only increase his HP regeneration rate. What he often ate was Anran's strange food.
Soon, Li Huailin arrived at the Duke's Mansion's dining hall. As soon as he entered, Li Huailin saw many familiar faces. Yes, all the people currently eating were Li Huailin's wives. Although Li Huailin couldn't remember most of them, he could still remember them when he saw their faces. This included the Orcs' Kitten and Big Cat, the Elf Empress whom he had tricked out of nowhere, and the Sword Saint's female disciple. It seemed like his harem was quite impressive.
"Ceci," Li Huailin didn't see Nemoya, who he was looking for, and directly walked towards Ceci.
"What's wrong? Why didn't you say anything when you suddenly came back? " Seeing Li Huailin come in, all the women stood up and said. Ceci was very familiar with Li Huailin, and he didn't pay much attention to etiquette, so he directly asked, "Do you want to eat?"
"No, I have something to talk to you about," Li Huailin said directly.
"Oh, so it's this sister?" Ceci was slightly stunned, then looked at Gamila who was behind Li Huailin and asked.
"What?" Li Huailin couldn't react for a moment.
"The new wife," Ceci said. "Didn't you introduce me to the new wife? Otherwise, why would you look for me? "
"I …" Li Huailin facepalmed. "No, no, no, this isn't the new wife. How much do you want me to cheat on the God King? Is a random woman the new wife?"
"Oh … then what's the matter?" Li Huailin asked.
"I'm here to ask you about Nemean," Li Huailin said.
"Nemean?" Ceci was slightly stunned. "I think I've heard of Nemean before …"
"My wife, I think she's the third wife, what's her name … I forgot, Anna is still Mina. Next time, to make it easier to remember, I'll just give her the number Mrs. ABCD …" Li Huailin said.
"Oh, is it Sister Havalin?" Ceci nodded. "Speaking of which, Sister Havalin has indeed been away for a long time."
"Not here?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, it was more than a month ago. Sister Havalin said she wanted to go home to visit her family, and then she left. Now that I think about it, she really hasn't been back for a long time," Ceci said. Ceci said. "But she's a very strange person. She usually doesn't work with us, and she basically stays in the house. So, I didn't realize that she didn't come back. It's my mistake …"
Ceci directly admitted his mistake. Yes, after all, the first wife wasn't around, so of course, the second wife was in charge of the harem. In the end, he didn't realize that someone was missing. Of course, there was a mistake. However, Nemean really didn't have much contact with other humans, so Ceci only remembered that someone was missing when he heard Li Huailin mention it.
"Go home to visit her family?" Li Huailin shook his head. How could a magical beast like Nemuya have any relatives? It was probably just an excuse to leave. Of course, Nemuya wasn't in the Duke's Mansion. Otherwise, Bryans would have been able to find him, so he must have already known about it. Originally, he didn't intend to find Nemuya, he just wanted to stall for time. Of course, it gave Bryans the feeling that he was still trying to find him.
However, Li Huailin was also curious as to why Nemoya would suddenly leave. Indeed, the two of them didn't really talk about marriage or anything. Madam just gave her a name to stay in the mansion. However, she shouldn't have any other place to go.
"Geert, are there many strange murder cases recently?" Li Huailin asked.
"Ah? This … Your Majesty, I'll go and ask. " Of course, Geert didn't know about this kind of thing. After all, he was the prime minister of the entire continent. How could he care about murder cases? So, he could only go and ask the people below him.
"You go." Li Huailin said. After that, he also said to Brian who was next to him, "Nemean's ability can directly read a person's memory and perfectly disguise as another person. So, if the other party changes bodies, it will be very difficult to find her."
"I see. Then, what do you have in mind?" Brian asked.
"I don't know why she left here. Of course, she is a magical beast. If she wants to eat, she may attack humans. So, first, check if there are any areas with a lot of murder cases recently." Li Huailin said.
"But this doesn't mean that Nemean did it. Other magical beasts can also cause this situation," Brian said.
"Yes, so we need to analyze it. When Nemean eats people, the situation is completely different from ordinary magical beasts. So, we can still analyze the situation." Li Huailin said. "But the problem is, if she doesn't do anything …"
"If she doesn't do anything, we won't be able to find her?" Brian asked.
"It will take some time." Li Huailin said. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Oh right, I remember a place that she might go."
"Where is it?" Brian asked.
"There seems to be a forest before, Nemean's hometown. It seems that she originally lived there, but because someone destroyed the trees and caused the forest to become desertified, she ran out to cause trouble. I have arranged for a lot of elves to help plant trees. I don't know if the appearance of the forest has been restored. Didn't she say that she went home to visit her relatives? Maybe she really went home and went back to see how the tree planting in her hometown was going. Maybe the trees are almost planted, so she stayed in her hometown and didn't come back. "Li Huailin thought for a while and said.
"So that's how it is." Brian nodded.
"So, we have to do two things at the same time. In a while, we will first check if there are any recent serial murders, and then we will go to this forest to see the situation. In short, for now, let's wait for the news." Li Huailin said. Of course, he was just talking nonsense, but it sounded very reasonable. It seemed like he was really helping to find someone. He really didn't know where Nemean was.
However, what Li Huailin didn't expect was that at this moment, Elf Queen Amelia, who was next to him, suddenly said, "I remember, about Madam Havalin."
