"Huailin, are you hurt?" As soon as he returned to the palace, Anthony Alfonso came over and asked. It was already very late. The knight competition actually lasted until dark at night. Then, there was the award ceremony. After the ceremony, Li Huailin had to chat with the group of nobles. He did not return to the palace until late, and Anthony Alfonso had obviously been waiting for Li Huailin.
"I told you, I'm an adventurer. I won't die at all, okay?" Li Huailin said, spreading his hands.
"Although I know, I'm still a little worried." Anthony Alfonso smiled. "I've heard the results. Romeriger won the championship, didn't he?"
"I have to say, this guy is really quite strong." Li Huailin said, "Although I don't really understand, I also feel that this guy didn't use his full strength, even in the finals."
"I heard from Edra that you let him go. Is it … to catch a big fish?" Anthony Alfonso said.
"Of course, we don't need to deal with a small fish like Romeriger. The thing behind him is what we're looking for." Li Huailin said, "If there's no accident, he will act tonight. My men have already followed him. There should be no problem."
"I heard about it. It's the Blue Shadow Knights. Those few are really strong. I was in the First Legion back then, and I was shocked when I heard about it. At that time, the besieging troops were two companies of Marquis Firmut's Fourth Legion, a total of 6,000 people. I didn't expect that they would lose half of their force and still not be able to kill them all. What terrifying strength." Anthony Alfonso recalled for a moment, then suddenly said, "By the way, about the Blue Shadow Knights, are you going to deal with them? Otherwise, they are still wanted criminals."
"Yeah, I was just about to tell you about this," Li Huailin said.
"Oh, no problem." Anthony Alfonso immediately said, "I'll also investigate what's going on. Count Jagello, I'll find a way to clean him up and cancel the wanted order while I'm at it."
"Wait, wait …" Li Huailin quickly said, "About this matter, can you deal with it according to my method …"
Therefore, Li Huailin told Anthony what to do. After listening to it, Anthony was puzzled. "Are you sure it's okay to do this?"
"Of course." Li Huailin said, "Absolutely no problem."
"Uh, that saves a lot of trouble. No problem, I'll issue the decree tomorrow," Anthony said.
"Okay, I'm counting on you. I'll be leaving now." Li Huailin looked at the time and decided to log off.
"Wait." Anthony quickly pulled Li Huailin and said, "There's one more thing."
"What?" Li Huailin asked.
"Did you forget? Didn't you already meet the ambassador of the Dwarf Empire today?" Anthony said.
"Oh, about that. You should already know what the ambassador is here for, right?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, the other party has already spoken to us about the mineral problem in the Marseilles region. We'll be asking the ministers for their opinions tomorrow morning. Before that, I'd like to hear your opinion first," Anthony said.
"We humans can't purify the hematite in the Marcellus region, right?" Li Huailin said.
"Yes, we don't have such technology for the time being." Anthony Alfonso nodded.
"Then I suggest you let the dwarves develop it, but the price must not be low," Li Huailin said.
"The dwarves first revealed to me that the price is 1,600 tons of pig iron per year …" Anthony Alfonso said.
"Let them add a zero at the end," Li Huailin said.
"16000 tons? They won't agree, right? "Anthony Alfonso said, a little surprised.
"It's hard to say. I heard that the dwarves don't like humans," Li Huailin said.
"That's true …" Anthony Alfonso nodded. "If it weren't for the threat of the Dark Side, the Dwarf Empire wouldn't have chosen to form an alliance with humans."
"That's right. If they don't like humans, why are they begging us now?" Li Huailin asked. "I remember the Dwarf Empire didn't even have a diplomatic meeting after the establishment of the new empire."
"Yeah, even the new alliance treaty was signed after a long time. I thought they didn't want to acknowledge the new empire," Anthony Alfonso said, nodding. "That's why they're begging us this time …"
"It's because they're really in trouble," Li Huailin said. Li Huailin said, "I heard from the dwarf ambassador that their country's iron ore seems to be in a state of depletion. I think the problem is far more serious than he said, or else they wouldn't have put down their pride and come to us. I heard that the Dwarf Empire's exports are basically made of iron. Without raw materials, the Dwarf Empire's economy will be in danger. So this may be our chance to seize the Dwarf Empire's economic lifeline …"
"That's what I mean," Anthony Alfonso nodded.
"That's why we need to properly investigate what's going on with the dwarves. As for the mining rights, we can drag it out with them. I also suggest that you move the first army to the south and make it seem like you're going to station troops at the border of the dwarven empire. That way, you can pressure them," Li Huailin said.
"Won't this provoke them?" Anthony Alfonso asked. "The empire's current food resources can't withstand a big war."
"Of course we will provoke them. What we want to do is to provoke them and see what their reactions are like. We will test the waters." Li Huailin smiled and said, "I don't think they'll start a war at this time. Why don't they just march into the Marcellus region? Why are they talking to us?"
"That's true," Anthony Alfonso nodded.
"By the way, if a war breaks out, how long can our food last?" Li Huailin asked.
"Didn't you just say there won't be a war?" Anthony Alfonso asked.
"What if? It's hard to say," Li Huailin said.
"…" Anthony Alfonso looked at Li Huailin and said, "Are you deliberately looking for trouble because you haven't fought in a long time?"
"Nonsense. It's so troublesome to fight a war, and I'm too lazy to fight one. Why would I look for trouble with myself?" Li Huailin said.
"Alright, alright. Let me think. If it's an army, it should be fine in a month or two. If it's an entire country, it should be less than a month," Anthony Alfonso said.
"F * ck me … I have a month? You think I can't wipe out a dwarven kingdom?" Li Huailin said.
"…" Anthony Alfonso rolled his eyes. "You really want a war, don't you?"
"No, no, no. I was wondering how bad the food shortage was. There's still a f * cking month. What are you afraid of? Do your best and scare them. If a war breaks out, I'll help you flatten the entire dwarven kingdom in a week," Li Huailin said, waving his hand.
"… You're the only one who dares to say something like that," Anthony Alfonso said.
"I'm serious. The war in the North only lasted nine days. The dwarves can't be harder to defeat than the Demons and Orcs, right?" Li Huailin said.
"Alright, alright, I understand," Anthony Alfonso said. "Are you coming to the meeting tomorrow?"
"Not necessarily, but I'm afraid I'll have to deal with Romerig's matter," Li Huailin said.
"Alright, I'll delay it for now," Anthony Alfonso nodded.
The two continued to talk about the empire's current affairs. Time passed quickly, and Queen Marina came over to ask Anthony to go to bed. After all, she couldn't let the king receive the foreign ambassador with dark circles under his eyes during the morning meeting tomorrow. Li Huailin saw that it was about time, so he logged off in the palace.
After taking off his helmet, Li Huailin looked at his phone and saw that there were a lot of messages. Of course, most of them were from Su Ruoyan. The main message was that she had booked a plane ticket and would fly back the day after tomorrow. She wanted Li Huailin to pick her up. Li Huailin thought that since he was Su Ruoyan's fiancé, it was indeed his duty to pick her up, so he jotted down the time.
After that, he received a message from his company. Li Jianyi informed him that the test program for the newcomer was ready. It was supposed to be held that day, but the arena was closed for some reason, so it was rescheduled to the next day. Li Huailin was asked to attend on time.
"The arena … It's been wrecked by those two guys. I wonder if they'll be able to fix it tomorrow." Li Huailin laughed dryly, then he continued to read. The other information was not important, but on the mobile phone's news page, he saw a very urgent message.
"Eh?" Li Huailin was surprised. He immediately turned on the computer beside him and opened the game forum. As expected, the game forum was bustling with activity.
Li Huailin immediately browsed the pinned post. As expected, the first pinned post was the message that he had just seen on his phone. It was highlighted in red and placed in the most conspicuous position.
"The First Land Deed of a Human Main City Released. Tomorrow at 9 PM, Auction House."
This was the content of the post. Without a doubt, this was a huge earthquake. Land Deed. Li Huailin had almost forgotten about this item. He had previously tried to find it, but he could not find it. He did not expect that when everyone was around Level 50, someone would finally find a Land Deed. However, it was obvious that the person who found the Land Deed was not from a large guild. He chose to auction this item. Although this was not the first Human Main City Shop, it was still very attractive.
Li Huailin casually browsed through the posts below. Sure enough, it was as he expected. The various large guilds had clearly noticed it. A few guilds had even made it clear that they wanted this Land Deed for themselves.
"Tomorrow's auction … Why is it tomorrow again? I'm really busy tomorrow," Li Huailin said as he scratched his head.
