Another World: The Failed Magician

Dean White sat there pondering for a while, and just as he was about to speak, Karl stood up and spoke first to Dean White: "You can't go to the Eastern Dragon Empire for the time being. I called you here today because there are other things I need you to do."

White glanced at his old friend. He knew his personality, but he still said he couldn't go to the Eastern Dragon Empire right now. It seemed there was something important he needed to do.

Seeing that White had calmed down, Carl slowly said, "In the Carneley region, several families, led by the Winter family, overthrew the magistrate appointed by the Federation and announced their independence."

Hearing this, White couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly interrupted Carl, asking, "Are they crazy? How dare they!"

Karl remained calm and answered the question: "Apart from the Eastern Dragon Empire and the Church of Light, the other three empires have publicly expressed their support for them, and the Silver Dragon Empire has also amassed a large number of troops on our border, which means we really can't spare any manpower to deal with this matter, so we can only come to you."

White sorted through the information he had gathered and made his own judgment, saying, "Judging from their behavior, they want to completely hold us back and prevent us from interfering in the affairs of the Eastern Dragon Empire."

Karl nodded in agreement: "There's nothing we can do. Their scheme must have been planned for a long time. First, they crippled the Undertaker, then they supported the Winter family. It's an obvious plot to drag us down and prevent us from getting involved. There's nothing we can do about the Eastern Dragon Empire; we can only be bystanders."

Still somewhat unwilling to give up, White asked, "Is it possible to contact the official authorities of the Eastern Dragon Empire? Is it possible to tell them the information we have and get them to resolve the issue of the Demon Seeds?"

Karl shook his head: "After our secret investigation, we found that some families in the Eastern Dragon Empire were actually involved in this matter. Moreover, the Eastern Dragon Empire is currently in chaos and on the verge of splitting up. I contacted their Crown Prince Zhao Quan, but unfortunately, he was helpless regarding the Demon Seed. The officials led by the Left Prime Minister and the eight major sects led by the Master have now united and publicly expressed their opposition to the Right Faction and the Crown Prince. I believe that a major move will be made soon."

Hearing this, White was not surprised at all, because the emperor of the Eastern Dragon Empire suddenly announced his seclusion, and those forces that were already eager to make a move would certainly not let this opportunity pass. The current situation in the Eastern Dragon Empire was entirely predictable.

After Carl finished speaking, he tossed a token to White. White took the token and walked towards the door, saying as he went, "At most two months, I'll be able to take care of those families in the Kahnlai region." With that, he disappeared from the room.

After White left, a huge chessboard appeared on Carl's table, covered with intricate pieces, each marked with a specific name. However, a piece named Loca in the center of the board was now tightly surrounded by the other pieces.

Karl glanced at the chessboard intently, picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and muttered to himself, "The tea from the Eastern Dragon Empire is still delicious! I just wonder if they'll still be selling it to us in a few years!"
