Hearing Cheyenne's words, Lin Li didn't seem too nervous, and was still smiling faintly. Of course, it wasn't because the Tower of Dusk had fewer people, and they weren't afraid of being killed. Although the Tower of Dusk only sent Lin Li and Norfeller, the Dark Blade and the elves had many Legendary powerhouses. It wouldn't be easy to escape from them.
Lin Li wasn't worried because he knew that they were in the Haiga Mountain Range, a legendary forbidden zone for life. He looked at the worried Cheyenne, and said, "Master Cheyenne, you're worrying too much. Even if they want to take action, they won't choose this time. This is the Haiga Mountain Range, and it's also a forbidden zone for Legendary powerhouses. No one is confident that they can leave this place alive. Hence, as long as they're not stupid, they won't have any bad intentions towards us, at least before we find the treasure. "
Cheyenne pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly. "Let's hope the temptation of the treasure can temporarily suppress the hatred of the past." As for what would happen after they found the treasure, who knew what would happen? Perhaps the Malfa Family would be finished by then, or perhaps the elves and the Dark Blade would be finished. Perhaps the two parties would be on par again.
Just as Lin Li had guessed, Cheyenne and Lin Li saw Borg approaching from afar while they were watching their subordinates setting up the campsite. Borg's attitude towards Cheyenne and Lin Li didn't change because of the appearance of the elves. Instead, he smiled faintly like before, and invited the two of them to meet the higher-ups of the elves to discuss the ruins of the Titans.
When they arrived at the tent in the center of the elves' campsite, Cheyenne and Lin Li followed Borg in.
Although they were both Legendary powerhouses, the elves in the tent didn't take them seriously at all. Seeing that the two of them followed Borg in, none of the elves stood up to welcome them. In fact, they didn't even say a word.
Lin Li didn't care about that at all, and Cheyenne already knew what the elves were like. Hence, he didn't mind their cold and arrogant attitude. Besides, the elves indeed had the right to be arrogant.
After they sat down, Borg first introduced Cheyenne and Lin Li to the elves in the elven language. However, the elves reacted coldly. Two insignificant Legendary-mages were not enough to attract their attention.
When Borg was about to introduce the elves to Cheyenne and Lin Li, one of the elves suddenly interrupted. Although it was in the Elven language, both Cheyenne and Lin Li could understand what he meant. He was probably saying that there was no need for further introductions, and that Borg should just get to the point.
Borg looked at Cheyenne and Lin Li with a bitter smile on his face, and explained to them about meeting the elves.
Cheyenne and Lin Li looked at each other. They actually had some understanding of the current situation. Why was Borg explaining all this to the two of them? Clearly, with the pride of the elves, they did not dare to underestimate the dangers in the Haiga Mountain Range. They wanted Borg to calm them down. After all, just like what Lin Li had said before, no one had the confidence to leave the Haiga Mountain Range alive. Hence, it would be good to have more strength.
Cheyenne's worries finally subsided a little. As for the elves wanting their people to be cannon fodder, that would depend on their own abilities. It was still uncertain who would be cannon fodder for whom.
It turned out that the Dark Blade had always been in contact with the Elven Kingdom. They had also communicated with the Elven Kingdom about this operation. Although the Elven Kingdom did not care much about the ruins of the Titans, they had always wanted to find a sacred relic that had been lost many years ago. Hence, they quickly reached an agreement to cooperate.
"Cheyenne, our target is the Immortal King's treasure, while the elves are after that sacred relic. Our goals are not conflicting. Now, everyone wants to enter the depths of the Haiga Mountain Range and find what they want. Why don't we work together instead of fighting on our own? " Borg tried his best to persuade Cheyenne to agree. After all, he knew that the elves would only watch from the sidelines if he attacked the Malfa Family even though he was related to the elves.
At this moment, Cheyenne could tell that the relationship between the Dark Blade and the elves was not as close as he thought. They were just making use of each other, and could not even be considered allies. In that case, there would not be much impact on the balance between the three parties. The Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk would still be able to make the Dark Blade wary.
After figuring that out, Cheyenne naturally wouldn't watch the treasure fall into the hands of the Dark Blade. Hence, he expressed that he had no objections to the cooperation. As for Lin Li, he didn't have any objections either. He was even thinking about what the sacred relic that the elves were looking for was. If it was useful to him …
Cheyenne finally heaved a sigh of relief. He left the tent with Lin Li, and returned to the Malfa Family's camp.
Lin Li returned to his tent and continued to do his daily homework, which was to read the Book of Eternity. Back in the mountainside, he had relied on the knowledge recorded in the Book of Eternity to resist the mental attack of the Titan Spirit with his mental strength.
After experiencing the mental attack of the Sanctuary-realm powerhouse, Lin Li could clearly feel that his mental strength had improved significantly. Lin Li's mental strength had become much more condensed, just like how air could be compressed into a liquid state under great pressure. This could be considered another gain from the Requiem Array that Lin Li had invested so much into using the Requiem Array to expiate the Titan Spirit.
Back in Roland City, Lin Li had released the Lord of Nightmares during the bet with the elven Legendary-mage Vidas, and he almost got trapped in the endless nightmares. However, if it were him now, he would definitely not be as pathetic as he was back then with his more condensed mental strength.
When night fell, Norfeller, who had been guarding in front of the tent, suddenly turned into a bat, and left the Malfa Family's camp. He then flew towards the surrounding forest.
Norfeller didn't have to report to Lin Li, as that was already the norm after entering the Haiga Mountain Range. Every night, Norfeller would turn into a bat and scout the outside of the camp. As a high-level Vampire, Norfeller's strength had improved by leaps and bounds after following Lin Li. Now, he already had strength that was close to the Legendary-realm. At night, the Vampire's strength would increase by a lot. At this moment, he could be said to be in the Legendary-realm. Even the most outstanding Bandit couldn't be better than him in terms of scouting ability.
Norfeller flew out of the Malfa Family's camp, and then appeared in the elves' camp. With his Legendary-realm strength, his flying speed was almost invisible to the naked eye. It only took him a short while to scout the outside of the camp. Seeing that there were no abnormalities, he turned around and flew back to the camp.
However, just as Norfeller was flying back to the camp, a few sharp arrows were suddenly shot at him from below like lightning. Although he had Legendary-realm strength, the sharp arrows had already shot into his body the moment he thought of dodging.
Norfeller was hit by seven arrows in a row, and there was a strange power in the arrows. That made him unable to fly, and he fell from the sky. As soon as his body landed, a group of elves immediately surrounded him.
"Seven arrows! All seven arrows hit. Jacques, you are indeed a genius in archery that we have only seen in hundreds of years, "an elf exclaimed excitedly as he went forward to restrain Norfeller who was struggling to get up.
"Of course, the Big Dipper Archery is one of the strongest archery skills of our elven race. Even a Legendary powerhouse would not be able to withstand the power of the Big Dipper Archery." Another elf had a smug look on his face as if he had shot the arrow himself.
Norfeller wanted to struggle, but the seven arrows seemed to have sealed his strength, and he couldn't even use his physical strength.
At this time, another elf, who was playing with a carved longbow in his hand, slowly walked up to them. Although he didn't respond to his companion's compliments, he seemed to be enjoying it very much. Looking at Norfeller on the ground, the elf showed a look of disgust, and stomped on Norfeller's chest. "Dirty Undead creature, do you know where you are? This is the Holy Mountain of the Goddess. How dare you blaspheme this holy land? "
Even though they were in the Haiga Mountain Range where magical beasts roamed freely, the night was still so quiet. The elves' clamor was rather abrupt in the campsite at night, but it didn't attract more people out of their tents.
Lin Li was fully immersed in the sea of knowledge in the Book of Eternity, absorbing the precious wealth left behind by the God of Mages Geresco bit by bit. Although he was extremely talented in magic and had outstanding achievements in other areas, he was just a small mage who had just stepped into the Legendary-realm in terms of magic.
Lin Li didn't know whether Geresco was better than him in other areas, such as pharmaceutics, alchemy, inscription, forging, and so on. However, he was sure that Geresco was definitely better than him in terms of magic knowledge. More often than not, only a few sentences in the Book of Eternity could make Lin Li ponder for a long time. When he was enlightened, many of the questions that had been troubling him in the past would be answered at this moment.
Every time he read the Book of Eternity and understood a question, he would feel a sense of achievement that made him feel enlightened. The sense of fulfillment of mastering new knowledge would always make Lin Li feel intoxicated, and he would feel like he could not stop reading it even if he wanted to.
However, today, Lin Li was immersed in a difficult question. Just as he was about to break through the thin veil, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart that pulled him out of his deep thoughts. That made Lin Li very angry, but after carefully sensing it, he realized that it was the fluctuation of the blood oath in his soul that had awakened him.
