Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

Upon hearing Demon King Verra's question, the Insulator squad immediately knelt down. The Earthly Extinction Bureau official in charge of the dialogue respectfully said, "Your Majesty, we are the people abandoned by humanity. Among humans, we..."

"Enough with the nonsense!" Vera interrupted him, signaling him to state his purpose directly.

"It seems that these demons are indeed as Lin Ji said, and are best suited for straightforward conversations," Elijah thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, we have come here with a crucial clue about a world-class treasure that we wish to offer you. With this treasure, the Demon Race will surely be able to unify the entire Dragon Continent!"

"A world-class treasure!?" Discussion immediately broke out in the deliberation chamber.

"What world treasure? Have you ever heard of it?"

"I don't know."

The discussion continued, and the chief deliberator rang a small bell on the table to restore order. He then asked, "What is this world treasure you're talking about?"

"This is news we only recently received. It is said that the world's greatest treasure consists of seven elemental stones, containing extremely strong and pure elemental power. As long as we collect all seven elemental stones, dominating the world should not be difficult!"

"Why are you providing us with such important information? Where did you get the information from? And what do you want to gain?" Vira didn't ask what the Elemental Stone was, but instead asked the three questions that concerned her the most.

"We, a group of people, have suffered humiliation because we lack elemental talent. Therefore, we spontaneously formed a group with the aim of reshaping a world without discrimination and oppression. We obtained this information from the Duchy of Paison. Several months ago, the Duchy began to explore the Elemental Stones, but the teams sent to various countries either lost contact or were repatriated by other countries, thus leaking the information. Now, other countries must also know about the existence of the Elemental Stones."

The representative paused for a moment, then continued, "What we want is very simple. We will secretly assist the Demon Kingdom in acquiring these elemental stones. As long as Your Majesty agrees, we will be able to borrow these elemental stones for three days upon our success. That would be enough."

Verra frowned, still harboring countless doubts. Before she could speak, another elder of the Council interrupted, asking, "Easy for you to say. Where is this Elemental Stone? How do you obtain it? If it's in another country, will it trigger a war?"

"This is the intelligence we need to provide. Based on the three clues we have, firstly, the Duchy of Paisen has already investigated the Elemental Stones, and their guardian, Mingguan, can activate a magic array called the Eye of Omniscience once a year, indicating that the duchy definitely possesses the Elemental Stones. Secondly, we have identified two Elemental Stones, one in the hands of the elven tribe in the Spiritfall Forest, and the other in the hands of the merfolk of the Lost Lake. Finally, based on our assessment, there is also a Elemental Stone that is highly likely to be in the hands of the Heavenly Fortune Empire and the Kingdom of Delin."

“Since you know the whereabouts of the Elemental Stones, why don’t you go and retrieve them yourselves? Why come to my Demon Kingdom for help? Also, you don’t show any elemental reaction on your bodies, so how did you enter my Demon Kingdom?” Verra asked.

“Your Majesty, although we do not possess elemental talents, we are still human. We set off from the Kingdom of Delin and entered the country via the Holy Beast Kingdom. Although we were chased by the soldiers of the Beast Kingdom, fortunately, we were physically strong and were able to enter the Demon Kingdom after losing three people. It is precisely because we do not have elemental talents that we cannot obtain elemental stones on our own.”

“Then you…” Vera wanted to continue asking questions, but the presiding judge rang the bell again and said authoritatively, “You all wait outside the courtroom first. We, the members of the deliberation panel, need to discuss this.”

After the Insulators team left, the Chief Councilor looked around at everyone in the courtroom and asked, "Elders, Your Majesty, and nobles, what are your thoughts?"

"I think it's unacceptable!" Demon King Verra was the first to object: "After the war between humans and demons, my demon kingdom took nearly a hundred years to recover. Regardless of whether what these humans said is true, what use are those elemental stones to us? The human and demon races are currently keeping to themselves. If we really want to obtain the elemental stones, we will inevitably have to enter human territory. What if another war breaks out then?"

“Your Majesty’s words have some issues,” a nobleman stood up to retort. Vera turned her head and saw that it was Manuel, one of the ten dukes. She couldn’t help but feel annoyed: “Grand Duke Manuel, what do you mean by that?”

Manuel ignored her anger and continued, "Your Majesty, are you perhaps afraid of the human race? The war between humans and demons was initiated by our demon race. Why? Wasn't it because our late king wanted to give our demon race more space to live? Although our demon kingdom lost the war, our demon race did not lose. With the addition of the Saint Cult, we fought against six against one. Our late king died on the battlefield, but we did not lose any territory. Unifying the Dragon Continent was our late king's last wish, and we must fulfill it. If the Elemental Stone can truly help us achieve unification effortlessly, we might as well give it a try!"

Hearing Manuel's words, Verra was so angry that her teeth itched. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you ten dukes hadn't fought tooth and nail to expand your territories back then, how could my grandfather have started the war? How could he have died in battle? When my father rebuilt the Demon Kingdom..."

"Enough!" Chief Councilor Harold slammed his hand on the table, stopping Vera from continuing. He looked coldly at Vera and Manuel and said, "This is the Council! The discussion here is about whether to take the clues provided by those humans and search for the Elemental Stones, not about you arguing!"

When Chief Councilor Harold got angry, Verra and Manuel both shut their mouths. At this moment, another council elder spoke up: "As His Majesty just said, the Demon Kingdom has now recovered its strength and is thriving. However, what Grand Duke Manuel said is also true. The Demon Kingdom's territory is indeed too small, and it should be appropriately expanded so that more demons can live there."

“Yes, Elder is right.” Upon hearing this, many nobles in the court and other elders of the deliberation court echoed and agreed.

Hearing these voices of approval, Vera felt both resentful and somewhat aggrieved. Her father had worked himself to the bone to revitalize the Demon Kingdom and had passed away. She, a mere woman, was forced to sit on the throne of the Demon King, but her policies were constantly hampered by the nobles. It was one thing for the Council of Deliberation to side with the nobles, but even the balancing body like the Extermination Bureau was on their side. Faced with this situation, Vera felt utterly isolated and helpless, so she simply closed her eyes and stopped expressing her opinions.

"Ring ring ring" The bell rang again, and Hadro said, "Well then, the deliberation council always votes by raising hands, so let's follow the usual practice and vote by raising hands. Those who agree to search for the elemental stones, please raise your hands."

Apart from Harold and Vera, everyone else in the courtroom raised their hands in unison to indicate their agreement. Seeing this, Harold said, "In that case, let's pass this resolution and agree to search for the Elemental Stones and bring those humans in!"
