"Borg, since you've proposed a collaboration, it would be petty of me to reject you. However, you have to be able to prove that you have the treasure map, and that you have more information than us. If you can provide us with that, we'll talk about the collaboration. " Cheyenne was also worried that the young Master Felic would be taken away by the Dark Blade. This was the Dark Blade's territory to begin with, and if Master Felic and the Dark Blade became allies, the Malfa Family would probably be doomed.
Besides, Cheyenne felt a little guilty towards the young Master Felic. After all, Master Felic had generously given the treasure map to Adelo to replicate when they came out of the Scar of Death. To most people, that was already something unimaginable. Who else could do such a thing? However, there was now a traitor in his family, and the Dark Blade actually got the treasure map too. The Immortal King's treasure that was supposed to be shared equally between the two families now had another party to share it with. No one would be happy about it.
Hence, Cheyenne said those words because he was a Legendary powerhouse and an enemy. In fact, he had already agreed to the collaboration between the three families. Besides, he had no choice but to agree, because that would be equivalent to pushing away their ally, Lin Li. In the end, not only would they get nothing, but they would also have another powerful enemy.
Borg stood up from his seat smilingly, and said to Cheyenne and Lin Li, "Our campsite is not far from here. Why don't the two of you come with me to discuss the details of our collaboration? Besides, Cheyenne, didn't you want me to prove that I have the treasure map? I can show you the treasure map and the information of our exploration in the Haiga Mountain Range. "
Cheyenne squinted his eyes slightly. Borg's invitation clearly indicated that the other two Legendary-level leaders of the Dark Blade had most likely arrived as well.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Malfa Family had Cheyenne, a Legendary-mage, while the Dark Blade had three Legendary powerhouses. Yet, the two families had been fighting for so many years, yet none of them could do anything to the other. That meant that the personal strength of Master Cheyenne of the Malfa Family should be similar to that of the three Legendary powerhouses of the Dark Blade. Because in a battle at the Legendary-realm, those who were below the Legendary-realm were almost useless.
However, it was not an easy task to fight against three experts of the Legendary-realm at the same time. The reason why Cheyenne could fight the three of them alone was not because of his own power, but because of the ancient mageweath hidden in Aminya City. That was also the reason that Cheyenne had never left Aminya City ever since the three leaders of the Dark Blade entered the Legendary-realm.
After leaving Aminya City and the mysterious ancient mageweath, Cheyenne was just a Legendary-mage who had just broken through the bottleneck of level-21. At this juncture, Cheyenne no longer had the upper hand when facing the three Legendary powerhouses of the Dark Blade.
It could be said that if Cheyenne had accepted Borg's invitation, given the enmity between the two families that had accumulated over the years, it was not impossible for Borg to launch a sudden attack. If that happened, Cheyenne would have to face the three Legendary powerhouses of the Dark Blade alone, and that would be no different from walking into a trap.
"Sure, Master Cheyenne. Let's go and meet the other two leaders of the Dark Blade," Lin Li said without waiting for Cheyenne to nod his head.
Lin Li's words made Cheyenne's eyes light up, because the "we" revealed a very good piece of information, which was that they were on the same side. Cheyenne had to admit that he could not fight the three Legendary leaders of the Dark Blade alone. However, if the young Master Felic joined them, the situation would be very different.
This young genius Legendary-mage had defeated a level-22 elven Legendary-mage in the Harvest Square of Roland City not long ago, and was now in the limelight in the Breezy Plains. Since he was with them, the three Legendary-level leaders of the Dark Blade would have to think twice if they wanted to take action again. At the thought of this, Cheyenne nodded, stood up, and said to Borg, "Okay, please."
The three of them walked out of the tent like friends taking a stroll together at night, and slowly walked in a direction outside the campsite. Although the people of the Malfa Family, especially Hutton and Adelo, did not hear the conversation in the tent, they could vaguely guess the possibility. They wanted to follow them, but were stopped by their teacher's hand gesture. Thinking about it, it made sense. They were all Legendary powerhouses, and although Archmages like them could be considered powerful, they were nothing in front of Legendary powerhouses. Even if they followed them, they would not be able to help their teacher at all. They could only pin their hopes on Lin Li, who was going to leave with them.
Lin Li had never been arrogant enough to think that he could fight the three Legendary powerhouses of the Dark Blade alone. The current situation was actually like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms before he transmigrated. The Dark Blade had three Legendary powerhouses, and could be said to be the strongest among the three. If he cooperated with the Dark Blade and kicked the Malfa Family away, it would be very difficult for him to achieve his final goal. Be it Thunderbolt or the item that sealed Thunderbolt, no one would be able to resist their temptation.
Lin Li did not know how the Malfa Family had managed to fight against the three Legendary powerhouses of the Dark Blade with only a single Legendary-mage, Cheyenne. However, he was very clear that the current Cheyenne definitely did not have that ability. Borg, who came uninvited, was already very close to Cheyenne in terms of strength. If the other two Legendary powerhouses were to join in, Cheyenne might even fall.
If he continued to cooperate with the Malfa Family and not the Dark Blade, there would definitely be a battle between the two parties for the ownership of the Immortal King's treasure. Regardless of the outcome, this was not what Lin Li wanted to see. Even if he could win in the end, he would definitely have to pay a huge price. How would he have the power to obtain Thunderbolt then?
Hence, the cooperation between the three parties was a necessary choice for Lin Li in the search for the Immortal King's treasure. It was also the only choice that was beneficial to Lin Li. Of course, it was also in line with the interests of the three parties. On the basis of the cooperation between the three parties, what Lin Li had to do was to continue working with the Malfa Family. He believed that the Malfa Family had no other choice. Given the long-standing feud between the two parties, it was impossible for them to truly work together.
Under Borg's lead, the Dark Blade's campsite soon appeared in front of them. The tents were neatly arranged, and the bonfire that had been burning for an entire night had already been extinguished. There were also patrolling teams shuttling between the tents. After all, this was the territory of the Dark Blade. Compared to the Malfa Family's campsite, the scale of the Dark Blade's campsite was obviously larger. Clearly, they had more people than the Malfa Family.
"We've selected more than 200 elites above level-15 to form this adventurer team," Borg said casually. He was not showing off to the two of them. Since they were going to cooperate, how could he not introduce the strength of his team to his partners?
The Malfa Family was a family of mages, and the advantage of familial management was loyalty. Unfortunately, that seemed to have been broken today. The disadvantage was that the source of talents was rather limited. However, the Dark Blade was different. Although they rarely went out to rob, they were still a group of bandits. No one doubted that fact. Hence, they had no qualms when it came to recruiting talents. Hence, compared to a mage family, a group of bandits like the Dark Blade had an obvious advantage.
For this operation, there were more than 200 elites above level-15 and three Legendary-realm leaders present at the same time. The Dark Blade had given its all. Cheyenne couldn't help but feel glad that he had taken the initiative to look for Master Felic of the Tower of Dusk as a partner. Otherwise, not only would the Malfa Family not get any benefits, but they would also be doomed.
Upon seeing Master Borg walk into the campsite with two people, the patrolling people and those who had woken up early stopped in their tracks and bowed to Master Borg.
"It's you!"
Someone exclaimed, breaking the tranquility of the morning. Next, a figure dashed over angrily with a menacing expression.
Lin Li couldn't help but be stunned when he saw who it was. Wasn't that a familiar face, Stephen, who had disappeared in the Abyss of Tharlen?
Back then, in order to obtain Geresco's relics, Lin Li, Hutton, and Stephen were sent to the Abyss of Tharlen by Tutankhamun. It was said that whoever found the Throne of Darkness first would be qualified to obtain the three relics of Geresco.
Along the way, Stephen somehow hooked up with the Lord of Souls, Mephistos, and wanted to use this to plot against Lin Li and Hutton. When they passed by the ancient arena, Lin Li released all the demons and magical beasts that he had locked up, and trapped Stephen, who had been possessed by Mephistos.
Later on, in order to fight against the Lord of Darkness, Lin Li plotted to lure out Mephistos, who wanted to be the oriole. As for what happened to Stephen, even the person who plotted it had no idea.
Of course, Lin Li was just a little surprised. The three of them were competitors to begin with, and it wouldn't be overboard to use any means to obtain the three relics of Geresco. Besides, Stephen had brought this upon himself. Hence, Lin Li did not feel the slightest bit guilty. Besides, Lin Li also knew that although Stephen had appeared here, and told Borg and the rest about what had happened in the Abyss of Tharlen in a way that was beneficial to him, this matter wouldn't affect the Dark Blade at all as long as they were sincere in cooperating.
