The three goblin elders exchanged glances, communicating briefly with their eyes.
In the end, Grom was the one who spoke up.
"If you have a good method, sir, then we are naturally willing to comply."
"My method is simple. Just one word." The corners of Lu Li's mouth curled up as his gaze swept across everyone present in turn.
"Search."
"Search?" The three goblin elders frowned.
"But how exactly are we supposed to search...?"
"Seal off the settlement and conduct a full search." Lu Li's words were startling.
"Search not only their belongings, but their memories as well."
"As long as the compass is still inside the settlement, it will definitely be found."
"I have the means to do that."
Upon hearing this, the three goblin elders all showed looks of sudden realization.
That was right.
The three of them had no way of determining where the compass was, but that did not mean Li Yun could not.
He was a high-ranking demon, after all!
Not only was he immensely powerful, but the methods at his command were as numerous as the Green Mushroom Imps endlessly breeding across this land!
If they could determine where the compass was, then the thief would soon be exposed.
"Sir, Lord Li Yun!" Garivix looked as though he had seen the dawn.
At that moment, he no longer cared about showing the proper respect due to a superior demon and impatiently shouted, "Search me first! Search me first!!"
Lu Li raised an eyebrow but did not respond to Garivix immediately.
Instead, his eyes shifted toward the three goblin elders, as though silently asking for their opinion.
"Uh... Since you have a way to uncover the truth, sir, then we'll have to trouble you..."
Grom bowed once more, his attitude respectful.
"It's a trivial matter."
