The gigantic arm that was holding onto an elf looked like a phantom, but it had a terrifying power that could easily kill a level-18 magical beast.
After recovering from his shock, Cheyenne could only shake his head and smile bitterly. What exactly did that elf do to make the young Master Felic use this magic?
Cheyenne had some understanding of the young Master Felic's character. After all, the Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk had interacted quite a bit. In the beginning, the Malfa Family's relationship with the young President of the Tower of Dusk was not as it was now during the operation in the Blackstone Mountains.
Regardless of the initial reason, Hutton had acquiesced to the Syer Bandits' Vanskore's ambush, and even asked the Necromancer Sendrossen to get rid of the young President Felic. However, the Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk did not become enemies because of that. Instead, they reached a cooperation agreement, and became partners in many aspects. Clearly, the young President of the Tower of Dusk was not the kind of person who would act rashly and recklessly without considering the consequences.
However, it was the same young President who mobilized all the forces of the Tower of Dusk just because a small town near the Tower of Dusk was attacked by the Syer Bandits. He even dragged the Malfa Family into the Dragon Mountains and completely wiped the Syer Bandits out of the Breezy Plains.
In Cheyenne's opinion, Lin Li was a person with a contradictory personality. Sometimes, he could let go of some things for the sake of benefits, but at other times, he would disregard everything for something else. However, this is the territory of the elves. Why can't you change your rational personality?
No matter what the cause is, we're here for the Immortal King's treasure. Why can't you tolerate it? It's not like you haven't seen those Legendary powerhouses of the elves during the day. Not to mention a level-21 Legendary-mage like you, even I don't have the ability to fall out with them. Cheyenne really regretted inviting the Tower of Dusk to participate in this operation.
It was not a big deal not to get help from the elves. After all, the elves were not part of the original plan. However, it was not just a matter of not getting help from the elves after offending them. With the elven race's strength, even if they didn't completely fall out with them, they could still create some trouble for them and set up some obstacles. That would have a significant impact on this operation. This time, it was really troublesome. Cheyenne was so worried that he had a headache.
Compared to the worried Cheyenne, Borg, who was an old rival of his, was surprised, but not too worried. Although the young Legendary-mage from the Tower of Dusk was considered a partner of the Dark Blade, Borg did not have a good impression of him. After all, his son had almost died because of him.
Borg, who was also a descendant of Geresco's disciple, was as shocked as Cheyenne when he saw Lin Hand of Nether. Although he had heard from his son, Stephen, about Lin Li's performance in the Abyss of Tharlen, he knew that his evaluation of Lin Li was not high enough when he saw it with his own eyes. The young mage who had stepped into the Legendary-realm at the age of 20 was so talented that he was probably the best after Geresco, the God of Mages.
Although it was inevitable for young people to make mistakes, it was a huge mistake to offend the elves at this time. Although it was inevitable for young people to make mistakes, it was a huge mistake to offend the Elves at this time.
The Tower of Dusk could be one of the three forces in this cooperation mainly because of the Malfa Family. If not for the fact that the Malfa Family needed a force to balance the gap between them and the Dark Blade, Borg would not have accepted a force that only sent two people to be his ally. If not for the fact that the Malfa Family needed a force to balance the gap between them and the Dark Blade, Borg wouldn't have accepted a force that only sent two people to participate in the adventure to become his ally. Moreover, the Malfa Family had been attacked by magical beasts many times along the way, and Borg did not see the Tower of Dusk's President Felic helping out at all.
Besides, the team had been attacked by magical beasts many times along the way, but President Felic did not help out at all. How could there be such a good thing in this world if he wanted to reap benefits without putting in any effort? Borg had already met up with the elves' team. According to the previous agreement, they would work together to go deep into the Haiga Mountain Range. However, this agreement could not be changed easily.
Although every additional force in a place like the Haiga Mountain Range was equivalent to an additional layer of protection, the Tower of Dusk's power was probably very limited. Even if Felic was a Legendary-mage, he would definitely not put in any effort in the face of trouble. Hence, what difference would it make if Felic was there or not?
Hence, Borg was more interested in watching the fun and seeing what kind of astonishing feat the young Legendary-mage was going to make. He knew the elves better than Cheyenne and the rest, and was very clear about how much power the elves had invested in this campsite. How would the elves deal with the current situation?
With that thought in mind, Borg turned to look at the elves, where a few older elves had just stopped in their tracks. He was no stranger to these elves at all. They were not only the leaders of the elves' operation this time, but they also held important positions in the Elven Kingdom. That was because they all had the same surname — Queldana.
The Queldana Family didn't seem to be well-known outside the Elven Kingdom, and was far less well-known than the Helios Family. Borg only found out that the Queldana Family was the most powerful family in the Elven Kingdom after coming into contact with the elves. Even the once famous Helios Family paled in comparison to the Queldana Family.
Ever since the various races overthrew the rule of the High Elves and ended the oppressive Dark Age, they all established their own countries. As the main force in the war of resistance, humans occupied more than half of the land of Anril. However, the country they established still followed the system of the High Elves, where the royal family and the nobles ruled together.
The elves, who claimed to have inherited the bloodline of the High Elves, also established their own kingdom with the Emerald Forest as their territory. However, the system adopted by the Elven Kingdom was very different from that of the High Elves. Although the elven queen was still supreme, the Council of Elders was the one who really made the decisions for the governance of the kingdom.
During the disaster that almost wiped out the elves, seven powerhouses of the elves led the elves to retreat into the Emerald Forest, and finally allowed the bloodline of the elves to continue. These seven powerhouses were known as the Seven Sages by the elves today. One of them was Bruchaga, the descendant of the Helios Family, who was also the father of Vidas. There was also Garrincha Queldana, the descendant of the Storm Druid and the husband of the elven queen …
Borg's gaze landed on the oldest elf in the middle. These elves were not only the higher-ups of the campsite, but also the higher-ups of the Queldana Family. The elf who was addressed as an elder was not just an elder of the Queldana Family, either.
The oldest of the higher-ups, who was addressed as an elder by the elves, was Bruchaga Queldana's younger brother, Randy Queldana. He was also the eighth elder of the Emerald Council of the Elven Kingdom. Although he did not have the title of a sage, his status in the Elven Kingdom was second only to that of the elven queen and his brother, Bruchaga. Even Borg did not expect that the elven side would be personally led by this elder in this cooperation with the elves this time.
In fact, to be more specific, the cooperation between the Dark Blade and the elves this time was actually a cooperation with the Queldana Family. Even in the Elven Kingdom, there was still competition between the various families and forces. Although the competition among the elves was not as fierce as between the human forces, the intensity was not much less than that of the human forces. The more powerful one had the right to speak in the council. That was a very clear logic.
Ever since he obtained the treasure map and found out that the Immortal King's treasure was located in the depths of the Haiga Mountain Range, Borg knew that it was impossible for the Dark Blade to obtain the treasure with their strength alone. Although the Dark Blade was the largest force in the Breezy Plains and one of the top forces in the entire Felan Kingdom, it was not enough for them to reach the Haiga Mountain Range where danger lurked everywhere. They might not even be able to make it halfway there.
Finding other forces to cooperate with was the only way to solve this problem. However, it was worth pondering who to cooperate with. No one would complain about getting more benefits. Of course, the Dark Blade did not want the Immortal King's treasure to be shared with other forces. Actually, the Dark Blade had no choice but to cooperate with the Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk. After all, the two forces had the Immortal King's treasure map.
However, it was still difficult for the three forces to reach the destination in the Haiga Mountain Range with such strength. Although the team was strong enough to sweep the Breezy Plains and had five Legendary powerhouses, it did not mean that they could pass through the outer area of the Haiga Mountain Range. However, even though they could pass through the periphery of the Haiga Mountain Range, it did not mean that they could pass through the hinterland known as the forbidden zone for life.
By chance, the Dark Blade received news from the Elven Kingdom that the Queldana Family had the intention to head to the Haiga Mountain Range to look for the elves' sacred relic that had been lost there. Although the news was not very certain at that time, Borg still went to the Elven Kingdom personally in hopes of discussing the cooperation with the Queldana Family. To Borg's delight, the Queldana Family did indeed have a plan to look for the sacred relic, just like what the intelligence said.
