However, after Lin Li told them about the Seventh Sky Castle, Borg and the rest had no choice but to put the young Legendary-mage in a new position, and look at him as an equal.
"This kid is too sly. Now that I think about it, he didn't say anything useful at all." Baldela scratched his golden hair and carefully recalled the information that Lin Li had just said, only to realize that the young Legendary-mage had only said that there were still things in the ruins.
The Legendary Bandit Lansdale remained calm, and calmly said, "So what? As long as the ruins are not empty, we still have to rely on our own abilities to get what we want."
"I really didn't expect Cheyenne to actually find Osric's adventure notes. This will be very helpful for our future operations. I believe he wouldn't joke around with the lives of his children." Borg was rather satisfied with the outcome of the three-party meeting, especially the adventure notes that Cheyenne had mentioned. That would completely reduce their losses along the way. Besides, he also believed that Cheyenne wouldn't play any tricks. After all, Cheyenne's adventurer team consisted mostly of the children of the Malfa Family.
"Do you guys think the Sky Castle that Felic mentioned is still in the ruins? I know that the Sky Castle can enter the spatial rift, so it's not impossible for the Sky Castle to be hidden there, "Baldela casually guessed.
"Even if it's really there, do you think he will do anything to the Sky Castle under such circumstances? However, there's one thing I'm sure of, and that is that he definitely knows what's important there. " Borg secretly sighed, thinking that his son was too disappointing. Otherwise, Geresco's relic would have been in his hands, and the key to the Sky Castle might have clues about the Sky Castle. No one would not yearn to control the Sky Castle, and it was a huge temptation even for Legendary powerhouses.
"It doesn't matter if we don't say it. He definitely won't know what we have in our hands. It's not up to him to decide who the things in the ruins belong to." What Lansdale said at this moment was also what Borg and Baldela wanted to say. The three Legendary masters looked at each other with a faint smile on their faces.
Borg couldn't help but worry about his disappointing son when he thought about how the three parties would have to work together for a period of time from now on. As a father, how could he not know his son's personality? Moreover, it was obvious that his son had not told him the whole story about what happened in the Blackstone Mountains.
After Borg returned to his tent, he immediately asked someone to call Stephen over. This operation was of great importance, and it would be more advantageous for him if he had a better understanding of his opponents.
Stephen arrived very quickly, but he still had an indignant expression on his face. He had been holding a grudge against his father for asking him to apologize to Felic. Although he did not dare to go against his father openly, he still felt indignant.
Truth be told, when Stephen first saw Lin Li, he thought that he would be able to get back at him for the humiliation he had suffered in the Blackstone Mountains. It was obvious that the Dark Blade had sent three Legendary powerhouses and many elites. Even Cheyenne of the Malfa Family would have to lower his head if he were here. That Felic was just a rookie who had just broken through to the Legendary-realm. Even though it was widely rumored that he had defeated a level-22 elven mage in Roland City, Stephen did not believe that he could go against the three Legendary powerhouses and the elites of the Dark Blade alone.
Stephen did not expect that his father would want him to apologize to him after waiting for so long!
It was like a child waiting for a piece of candy, only to be slapped after waiting for a long time. It would be strange if he did not cry and roll on the ground …
How could Stephen's petty thoughts escape Borg's eyes? Upon seeing the expression on his son's face, Borg only smiled. "Why? Are you still angry about me asking you to apologize just now?"
"No."
"Haha …" Even a fool could tell from Stephen's stiff tone, let alone Borg. However, Borg did not slam the table and scold Stephen like he usually did. Frankly speaking, Borg was rather satisfied with his son, and was more willing to educate him in a gentle manner.
After all, Stephen was one of the most outstanding magic geniuses in the Breezy Plains. When he was in his twenties, he was already at level-18. Now that he had returned from the Blackstone Mountains, he had improved by leaps and bounds, and was approaching the Legendary-realm. Borg was sure that the Dark Blade would have its fourth Legendary powerhouse in two years.
Borg could not bear to scold and hit his son.
If there was anything he was unhappy about, it would be that Stephen was still too young. Coupled with the fact that he had been living under the protection of three Legendary powerhouses, he had not experienced much. Hence, he was too inexperienced. Many times, he even took things for granted, and thought that he was the center of the world.
Just like this time …
"Sigh, you are still too inexperienced. Don't you know that momentary gains and losses are nothing to people of our level? So what if he apologizes? You can apologize to him today, but who knows, it might be his turn to apologize to you tomorrow. "
"But, Father …" Stephen secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his father did not intend to reprimand him. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and continued, "We, the Dark Blade, have already obtained enough clues to search for the Immortal King's treasure. Even with our own strength, we have at least a 50% chance of finding it. Why do we still have to share everything with the Malfa Family and … and that Felic?"
"Do you think this is sharing?" Borg was stunned for a moment before he suddenly laughed. "Hehe, why don't you see it as a form of exploitation?"
"Exploitation?"
Borg smiled and did not say anything else. Instead, he suddenly asked, "Stephen, who do you think is stronger, the Dark Blade or the Malfa Family?"
"Of course it's the Dark Blade. Just look at the people that everyone brought this time. I can guarantee that if a battle were to break out, we would only need half a day to get rid of all the people from the Malfa Family."
"In that case, who do you think is stronger, me or your two uncles, compared to Cheyenne and that Felic?"
"Of course it's you and my two uncles. Cheyenne has only just reached level-21, let alone that Felic. I saw him reach level-20 with my own eyes in the Blackstone Mountains. No matter how hard he works and how talented he is, it's impossible for him to reach level-21 in just a few months. Recently, there has been a rumor in the Breezy Plains that this fella defeated a level-22 elven mage in Roland City. I think this is either a rumor, or Felic used some tricks."
"In other words, no matter how you look at it, we, the Dark Blade, are the stronger party?"
"Yes."
"Then what are you worried about? We already have absolute power in our hands. So what if we cooperate with them? Even if we find the Immortal King's treasure in the end, we will still have the power to distribute it. " At this point, Borg paused for a while before continuing, "Moreover, the battle between the Dark Blade and the Malfa Family has been going on for a long time. Perhaps this is a chance to settle it once and for all …"
"Ah …" Stephen exclaimed. "You … You mean to say that we should use this opportunity to get rid of Cheyenne?"
The Malfa Family and the Dark Blade could be said to be one of the most famous enemies in the Breezy Plains. Although it had only lasted for slightly more than 100 years, every battle could be said to be extremely tragic. Both parties had invested a lot of energy in this battle. To these two forces, this enemy had become a huge burden. If they could not get rid of this burden, they would never be able to become a top force like the Glittergold Trade Union.
However, in the past 100 years, neither the Malfa Family nor the Dark Blade had a chance to get rid of each other completely. The Malfa Family did not have much of an advantage in terms of power. In terms of Legendary powerhouses, the Malfa Family had always been at an absolute disadvantage. It was already not easy for them to protect themselves, let alone uproot the Dark Blade.
On the other hand, the Dark Blade had the geographical advantage of Aminya. In the past 100 years, the Dark Blade had attacked Aminya several times, but they had never really threatened the Malfa Family. The Dark Blade had once thought of killing Cheyenne, but Cheyenne was too cunning. He never gave the three Legendary powerhouses of the Dark Blade a chance to face him directly. As a result, the Dark Blade had no choice but to be held back by the Malfa Family despite having three Legendary powerhouses for the past 100 years.
"Yes, your two uncles and I have been planning for a long time for this opportunity. Just give us 10 minutes, and we can completely get rid of this trouble."
"That's great …"
"So, Stephen, this is the reason why I want you to apologize to that Felic. This cooperation not only concerns the Immortal King's treasure, but also the development of the Dark Blade for the next few decades or centuries. If we can't completely get rid of the Malfa Family, the Dark Blade will always be held back in Aminya, and will never be able to become a huge force like the Glittergold Trade Union … In order to avoid any accidents at the crucial moment, we have to make that Felic maintain a neutral attitude, even if it's just on the surface …"
