In fact, Li Aili didn't need to do anything more.
The magic guild in Denton City, frozen by the ice potion, is practically turning into an 'ice sculpture art exhibition'.
In an instant, guests flocked to Denton from all directions. (They were all arcanists.)
Li Aili listened to Thomason's report, her expression complicated as she looked at Thomason, who was becoming more and more excited as he spoke.
This guy is definitely the kind of 'pleasure criminal' who returns to the crime scene after committing a crime.
"Because we have a contract for a life-or-death duel, the Mage's Guild can't say anything about it."
"We have no choice but to accept this loss, but judging from their sour faces, they probably hold a grudge against us."
"Oh, those arcane mages are really giving me a good laugh!"
"They just swaggered into Denton City, and then, in front of all the magicians who had come after hearing the news, they took photos with the statues using the photo stones, hahaha!"
As he spoke, Thomason poured himself a glass of water and gulped it down.
"They almost came to blows!"
"Finally, it alarmed the half-elf city lord of Danton."
"Ah, several Archmages are facing off against a Grand Archmage."
"The city lord, cursing and swearing, invited the Elf King of Tankar."
"Hey, I don't know what's wrong with that Elf King, he has a really bad temper."
Thomason deliberately pulled a long face, making a face that said, "The whole world owes me hundreds of billions of gold coins."
Seeing this expression, Li Aili boldly guessed that Fisheranki and Alice's private time had been disturbed.
In general, those who suffer in such situations are the Archmages and the Great Arcane Masters.
Sure enough, Thomason said with spittle flying, "As soon as that Elf King arrived, he rode his war stag and blasted all those so-called Sorcerers and Archmages out of Danton City."
"Everyone says that the Tankar elves are the most powerful elves."
"I never believed this before, but now I see that it was an overestimation."
"The Tankar elves' combat strength is so poor that classifying them as elves is a real injustice!"
That concludes the report on the situation in Denton City.
"There's another surprise," Thomason said, beaming.
"Aren't you preparing for that shopping festival?"
"Hey, it's okay that we fell out with the mage."
"During my trip, I met quite a few arcane masters. After I explained the whole story, they became very interested in our shopping festival."
Li Aili couldn't help but complain, "They're not interested in our shopping festival, I think they're interested in 'how to annoy the magicians'."
Thomason: "Hey, this is a lucky accident."
Li Aili has a ton of work on her desk, almost matching Arthur's workload.
With the establishment of the new city, she has a lot of things to do.
"In that case, the task of receiving the arcane mage will be left to you and Wendy."
Thomason imitated the knights, pounding his chest hard with a dull thud.
"Leave it to us!"
After saying that, he strode away.
As soon as he left, Li Aili took out a bird whistle, opened the window, and whistled a few times.
Soon, a cheerful little blue bird flew over.
After feeding the energy stone, Li Aili took out a piece of parchment and wrote a letter to the elven lawyer Panticilin.
[To the esteemed Barrister Mr. Pantishlin:]
I hope everything goes well for you. It's been a long time since we last contacted each other because I've been busy building Emerald City.
I need to tailor a legal order for my city, and I desperately need your help with that.
If you are available, we can meet soon to discuss this in detail.
[Written by your friend, Li Aili, the owner of Emerald City.]
The letter was slipped into the little mailbox on the back of the messenger bird.
Li Aili gently rubbed the bird's neck with her fingers, making it stretch its neck comfortably, causing its feathers to bristle.
"Alright, little guy, go and deliver the message for me."
The little bird lying on my hand immediately flapped its wings, flipped over, and soared into the blue sky in a flash.
Just then, Conrad came in carrying a silver tray.
It's topped with hot milk and a few delicious butter cookies.
Li Aili's bright green eyes lit up instantly.
This time, surprisingly, it wasn't about dessert.
Conrad paused in his steps and looked hesitantly at Li Aili.
"lady?"
Li Aili stared intently at Conrad.
"Conrad."
"Does Madam have any instructions?"
"Can you... review official documents?"
Conrad: "..."
The old butler glanced instinctively at the mountain of documents piled on the table, then fell silent.
While Emerald Valley may be short-staffed, it shouldn't have accumulated such a terrifying number of files.
So, the old butler who came in to deliver desserts was conscripted.
He helped Li Aili review the official documents, feeling both amused and exasperated.
"Ah, I'm starting to miss Arthur." Li Aili was also buried in the first batch of official documents.
While helping Ellie sort the documents on her desk, Conrad teased the young couple, saying, "Please don't let His Highness know that you said that under these circumstances."
"I'm afraid Your Highness will be saddened."
Li Aili smiled sweetly at first, then the smile disappeared from her face.
"Conrad, I want to use the devil's summoning circle."
Conrad paused, his gaze fixed on the official document.
"Is Arthur's soul in the devil's hands?" Li Aili asked Conrad directly.
Conrad picked up the documents in his hand and put them down again, just like his conflicted feelings at that moment.
"Yes, madam."
"Your Highness has made a pact with the devil."
