Borg stroked his beard, and smilingly said, "Cheyenne, you're wrong to say that. You're the guest here. However, what I don't understand is that since you're a guest of the Dark Blade, why don't you enter? Have you forgotten where our door is? " Back when Cheyenne had advanced to the Legendary-realm, he had caused a lot of trouble for the three leaders of the Dark Blade. Although he had managed to regain some face over the years, Borg was still rather displeased to be blocked at the door.
Although the two old foes seemed to be sitting together harmoniously, neither of them was willing to show any weakness in their words. Lin Li sat there, and watched the two old fellows bicker. He recalled that people used to say that the older they got, the more they behaved like children. He thought about Gerian, Andoine, and Apophis, who had fought alongside Geresco. None of them looked like elders at all.
"Masters, it's almost daybreak." Ever since the two old men met, Lin Li had not spoken a word. Now, he finally couldn't help but remind them out of boredom.
"Borg, you didn't come here just to bicker with me, did you? Hurry up and tell me what you want to say." Cheyenne didn't want to continue talking nonsense. The crisis of the Malfa Family had yet to be resolved.
Upon hearing Cheyenne's question, Borg smirked with a hint of mockery in his eyes. "I know the purpose of the Malfa Family's operation this time. That's why I'm here too."
Cheyenne didn't quite believe him. Although the Adventurers' team had created a huge commotion, the Adventurers who weren't selected wouldn't be informed of the destination. Those who were selected, including the elites of the Malfa Family, didn't know about the Immortal King's treasure either.
"The Immortal King, right? The Malfa Family doesn't seem to be united. Haha … "Borg finally said something that made him feel proud, but embarrassed Cheyenne. After being enemies for so many years, even if they couldn't fight to their heart's content, it was still very pleasing to see an old rival being embarrassed.
Borg's laughter was extremely ear-piercing to Cheyenne. However, it was not difficult for a Legendary-realm master to maintain a poker face.
Borg's laughter was actually very hearty, but it sounded extremely irritating to Cheyenne. However, it was not difficult for a Legendary-realm master to maintain a poker face. Hence, Cheyenne was able to sit there without any change in his expression.
It was definitely an extremely humiliating matter. There was actually a spy from the Dark Blade in their family, and the spy's status was so high that he had access to such confidential information. No, it wasn't just humiliating, but extremely terrifying. Since news of the Immortal King's treasure could be leaked, what about the other secrets of the family? For example, the mageweath hidden in Aminya City was the reason why he could resist the three Legendary powerhouses of the Dark Blade!
There was not even a hint of change in Cheyenne's expression, but his heart was in turmoil. Fury was no longer enough to describe what he was feeling right now. There was also a deep sense of disappointment. To think that someone would betray the clan he had protected with all his might for personal benefits. Since that person could know such confidential information, he had to have a high status in the family. It was more likely that he had the surname Mafa.
"Oh, the Immortal King? Are you kidding me? Who did you hear that from? "Cheyenne asked Borg casually with his eyes squinted.
Borg smiled smugly, stroked his beard, and said, "I'm not one of those youngsters anymore. Your tricks won't work on me. You should know very well whether this is true or not. Besides, you definitely don't know that we also have a piece of the Immortal King's treasure map. "
"If that's the case, are you here to show off to me?" Cheyenne was secretly shocked. The treasure map had always been in his possession, and even the High Elves Print that he had given to others to study had been broken up into many parts and disordered. Everyone knew that the biggest feature of the High Elves Print was its complexity. To put it more bluntly, there was a lot of nonsense. The key content of a paragraph might only be a few words, and most of them were just descriptive words. Hence, if one didn't know the order, it would be useless even if one obtained the entire map. In that case, where did Borg get the treasure map that he was talking about?
"Hmph, do I look like such a boring person? Everyone knows that the depths of the Haiga Mountain Range are filled with dangers. Even Legendary-mages like you and I can't guarantee that we can escape unscathed. Moreover, the Immortal King's treasure is definitely not just sitting there waiting for others to retrieve it. I'm afraid that no one can estimate the dangers within. Frankly speaking, I only have one purpose for coming here. Since we both know the whereabouts of the Immortal King's treasure, why don't we temporarily let go of our past hatred and cooperate on this matter? " Borg did not continue to provoke Cheyenne. If this old rival of his could not take it anymore and refused to cooperate with him no matter what, and decided to break up with him with the thought that what he could not get would belong to others, then Borg's trip would be in vain.
"Cooperate? What a joke. Why should I believe you? Do you think you have the treasure map just because you say so? You used to be a thief, and yet you dare to use such petty tricks to embarrass yourself. I'm afraid even a foolish farmer wouldn't believe you. " Cheyenne actually knew that Borg wouldn't lie about such a matter given his status. Since he said that he had another treasure map, it was most likely true. However, even gods would get angry sometimes. Legendary powerhouses wouldn't be calculative with ordinary people, but it didn't mean that they wouldn't be calculative with people of the same status. It was just like how a person wouldn't be angered by ants, but it didn't mean that he wouldn't be angered by others.
"Cheyenne, don't forget whose territory this is. We also have a treasure map. You've just arrived here, so you must be very unfamiliar with this place. However, the information we have is far from what you can compare to." After saying that, Borg didn't wait for Cheyenne to reply, and instead turned to look at Lin Li.
Even though the Malfa Family was the archenemy of the Tower of Dusk, the Dark Blade had never taken the cooperation between the Tower of Dusk and the Malfa Family seriously. After all, the Tower of Dusk was only a small force that had been established for less than a year. Even if they had the backing of the Supreme Council and the Guild of Magic, they wouldn't be able to achieve much. Such new small forces would rely on the large forces to survive. Some would gradually be annexed by the large forces, while some would develop due to luck. There were countless such cases in the Breezy Plains. There were also many small and medium-sized forces that relied on the Dark Blade. At the end of the day, the Dark Blade was able to develop to its current scale because of expansion and mergers.
When that batch of high-level pharmacists appeared in the Tower of Dusk, the Dark Blade would definitely be tempted. More importantly, they were worried that the Malfa Family would use those high-level pharmacists to break the balance between the two forces. It wasn't that the Dark Blade hadn't thought about directly destroying the Tower of Dusk, but the high-level pharmacists made them rather wary. Before figuring out the relationship between the high-level pharmacists and the Tower of Dusk, the Dark Blade wouldn't dare to attack the Tower of Dusk easily even if they had three Legendary powerhouses.
Later, the people hidden in the Malfa Family sent news to confirm that the batch of high-level pharmacists had nothing to do with the Malfa Family. Hence, the three leaders of the Dark Blade finally heaved a sigh of relief. For a force, pharmacists could provide too much help to its development. If the batch of high-level pharmacists really had something to do with the Malfa Family, it wouldn't be long before the Malfa Family completely suppressed the Dark Blade.
However, before the three leaders could completely relax, the Legendary-level battle in the Harvest Square of Roland City swept through the entire Breezy Plains like a hurricane. The young President of the Tower of Dusk was actually a Legendary-mage who had defeated another elven Legendary-mage. The three leaders were once again on tenterhooks. Since the Tower of Dusk and the Malfa Family were allies, would they join forces to deal with the Dark Blade? Fortunately, they were only allies, and everyone knew that interests were the key to maintaining an alliance, not an agreement.
"Master Felic, due to some well-known issues between the Dark Blade and the Malfa Family, I first asked Cheyenne if he was willing to cooperate. I hope you don't mind. I can assure you about the authenticity of what I said just now. What do you think about the cooperation? " Borg asked Lin Li politely. Even though Lin Li was younger than him, as long as one was in the Legendary-realm, one's strength would determine everything. Age could no longer be used as a factor to determine one's status.
Upon hearing Borg's question, Lin Li only smiled, and didn't immediately express his thoughts. To Lin Li, the purpose of entering the Haiga Mountain Range this time was very clear. Be it the Malfa Family or the Dark Blade, they wouldn't let him give up Thunderbolt and the item that sealed it. Hence, he wasn't in a hurry to express his stance. Anyway, it didn't matter which party he cooperated with. All he needed was cannon fodder, and it didn't matter who would be cannon fodder for him.
Although he knew that only the young President of the Tower of Dusk and his followers were participating in the cooperation between the Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk, no one could ignore the power of a Legendary powerhouse. Although Borg didn't get a clear answer, he was very clear that not answering was actually the best answer at this time. Clearly, this young Legendary-mage was determined to get the Immortal King's treasure. As long as he could achieve this goal, it didn't matter who he cooperated with.
