Lex looked towards the puppet he had gotten from Daekol. He could use that to go find Belle - it was the one task he was sure he would have to do himself. In fact, he was planning on doing that, which is why he was already looking into how to activate it.
But there were a few things he needed to do more urgently, and looking into the teleportation issues was just one of them.
Lex took out the scale given to him by Romulus and sent it to his Innkeeper projection. If there was only a limited amount of time left before Dao activity had to be ceased, then the alliance between him and Romulus needed to be made as quickly as possible.
It was a risk, to be sure. But Lex intended on finalizing an alliance without letting the latter enter the Midnight Realm. As a powerful Dao Lord, who had no serious connection to any existing Major power or race, he was one of the safest Dao Lords to form an alliance with.
