"Charles has recently shown signs of a breakthrough, and is focusing on learning magic, so he won't be attending this gathering. Let's talk about the Tower of Dusk. Doesn't President Mogadi want the Serum Grass? " Joseph raised his eyebrows slightly, but his words hit the nail on the head of Mogadi without batting an eyelid. Immediately, the president of the Blood Moon Clan was speechless. He then said, "Even if the Glittergold Trade Union supports him, will they really go all out? In my opinion, I'm afraid that the Glittergold Trade Union's appetite is bigger than ours."
The core members of the Blood Moon Clan were all mixed bloodlines like Mogadi. In addition to the mixed bloodlines of wyrms and humans, there were also mixed bloodlines of High Elves and humans, as well as those of prehistoric magical beasts and humans. However, while the mixed bloodlines brought them great power, they also brought them endless pain.
When they were still the Blood Moon Guards, there was a special potion concocted by the High Elves to suppress the pain. However, after the High Elves were destroyed, there was no longer the suppression of the special potion, and many members of the Blood Moon Clan who escaped the war even committed suicide because they couldn't bear the pain.
Later on, the Blood Moon Clan discovered the ruins of the High Elves, and obtained the formula of that special potion. Hence, the situation was finally alleviated. After studying the formula of the potion, they also discovered that the potion also played a crucial role in the mixing of bloodlines. However, the dosage was more than 100 times more than the pain suppression.
However, the most important herb in the formula was the Serum Grass, which grew in an extremely harsh environment. The Serum Grass that the Blood Moon Clan could obtain through various channels was not enough to concoct the pain suppression potion, let alone create new members with mixed bloodlines. In the vast Breezy Plains, there was only a swamp west of Garland that was most suitable for the growth of Serum Grass. However, that swamp belonged to the Tower of Dusk.
In fact, if it were just a swamp where Serum Grass grew, the Blood Moon Clan would first think of asking the Tower of Dusk for it. After all, although Serum Grass was precious, it was not of much use to pharmacists. However, the problem was that there would definitely be a large number of magical metal veins wherever Serum Grass grew, which was definitely not something that the Tower of Dusk could give up. At the same time, the Blood Moon Clan couldn't afford it, either.
"You mean … the Glittergold Trade Union wants to swallow him whole?" Klaus asked in disbelief.
Hearing this, Mogadi fell silent. If the swamp fell into the hands of the Glittergold Trade Union, it would be no different from the Tower of Dusk. The biggest difference would be that it would be harder for the Blood Moon Clan to obtain it.
"It's not like you haven't seen how cunning that fatty Hoffman is. When he smiles at you, it means that he has already cut off a piece of flesh from your body. Think about it, would the Glittergold Trade Union give the money to the Tower of Dusk for nothing? If the Tower of Dusk can't pay up in the end, we'll have no choice but to … "Joseph said with a sneer, as if the Tower of Dusk had really fallen into the hands of the Glittergold Trade Union.
They had to admit that Joseph's words did make some sense. If the Glittergold Trade Union really took over the Tower of Dusk in the end, their plan would be akin to making a wedding dress for others. Thinking of this, Mogadi and Klaus nodded in unison and agreed to Joseph's invitation.
"The Mithril Alliance invited me?" The date set by the Ashen Warlock was getting closer and closer, and Lin Li suddenly received an invitation from the Mithril Alliance. Although Lin Li had not been in contact with any other forces apart from chatting with Hoffman in the past two days, he knew that the Mithril Alliance was the one who had initiated the various attacks against the Tower of Dusk this time.
In a room that was decorated as a conference room, Lin Li met Joseph, whom he had met once before. Joseph was the only one in the room, and the two biggest allies of the Mithril Alliance, the Blood Moon Clan and the Caesar Family, did not show up.
"President Felic, please take a seat." Joseph simply sat there without bending his body, and pointed at the seat opposite him expressionlessly.
Lin Li walked over indifferently, pulled out a chair, and sat down. He leaned against the back of the chair casually and stared at Joseph who was opposite him with a hint of mockery in his eyes. However, he had no intention of speaking.
Joseph and Lin Li looked at each other for a moment, and in the end, he couldn't help but say, "President Felic, let's put aside the matters that happened two days ago. I invited you here this time because I want to talk to you about the Tower of Dusk."
"I'm sorry, I don't know if I heard wrongly, but even the Supreme Council has given the Tower of Dusk absolute autonomy. You don't have to worry about the matters of the Tower of Dusk," Lin Li said in a sarcastic tone.
A trace of anger flashed in Joseph's eyes, but he did not flare up. Instead, he shook his head slightly, and said, "If it's just the internal affairs of the Tower of Dusk, we naturally have no right to interfere. However, it now involves the interests of the Breezy Plains. As the representative of the various forces of the Breezy Plains, we, the Mithril Alliance, have to stand up and say a few words."
"Sure, I'll listen to what you have to say, then." Lin Li folded his arms and leaned against the back of the chair with a relaxed expression on his face, as if he was waiting to watch a show.
"The development of the Tower of Dusk in the past two years has indeed been amazing. If the Tower of Dusk was somewhere other than the Breezy Plains, we might have been able to become partners," Joseph said with a sigh. However, his tone immediately changed, and he said in a low voice, "However, this is the Breezy Plains, and the development of the Tower of Dusk has already affected the peace of the Breezy Plains that has been maintained for thousands of years. I'm afraid even you can't deny that there are more corpses of other forces under the foundation of the Tower of Dusk now. "
"Survival of the fittest is the law of nature. Humans have their own lives, and a force also has its ups and downs. Even the prosperous dynasty of the High Elves was overthrown. Mr. Joseph, as the leader of the Mithril Alliance, do you still need me to teach you that?" Lin Li said unceremoniously. Although he knew that Joseph was just finding an excuse for what he was going to say later, there was no harm in playing along.
"Yes, survival of the fittest is indeed the eternal law of nature in this world." Joseph clenched his fists tightly in the sleeves of his robe, but there wasn't much of an expression on his face. He first nodded in agreement, and then said, "However, President Felic, don't forget that in the Breezy Plains, there is another kind of order above the laws of nature, and that's the will of the Ashen Warlock. The Tower of Dusk's development has broken the peace of the Breezy Plains that has been maintained for thousands of years, and that goes against the will of the Ashen Warlock. You should have heard about the consequences of going against the will of the Ashen Warlock, even if I don't explain it to you. This time, the Tower of Dusk has been invited by the Ashen Warlock. Do you really think that it's because the Tower of Dusk is already on par with us? "
"Oh, in that case, Mr. Joseph, why do you think the Ashen Warlock invited me here?" Lin Li pretended to look at Joseph worriedly, but he was secretly amused. Clearly, Joseph couldn't help but want to lay his cards on the table after saying so many high-sounding words.
"President Felic, you've already guessed it, so why do I have to say it out loud? However, this matter is not without a sliver of leeway." Seeing Lin Li's expression, Joseph felt a little bewildered because the young President's behavior seemed to be a little different from what the rumors said. However, thinking about how terrifying the Ashen Warlock was, even Joseph felt a chill run down his spine. No matter how bold Lin Li was, it was impossible for him to be fearless.
"Is there still a sliver of leeway?" Lin Li continued to put on a show with some nervousness and anticipation on his face. He also got up from the chair and sat up.
"That depends on your choice. Do you want to choose your own life or the Tower of Dusk that has caused you so much trouble? If you're willing to give up the Tower of Dusk, the Mithril Alliance's words will still be of some use in the face of the Ashen Warlock. " Joseph initially wanted to ask Lin Li to submit to the Mithril Alliance, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to control Lin Li. If that happened, he would probably be inviting trouble.
"Do you mean you want me to give up the Tower of Dusk and give it to the Mithril Alliance? Hah, unfortunately, although you have a big appetite, I don't know if you can bite the teeth of the Tower of Dusk. " Lin Li leaned back against the chair again, no longer as nervous as before. He looked at Joseph with a mocking gaze.
Although he knew that he had been fooled, Joseph did not fly into a rage. Instead, he sneered, and said, "Seems like you've already made your choice, President Felic. What a pity. With your talent, I'm afraid you can achieve great things anywhere you go, but the Breezy Plains is not suitable for you. "
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's suitable or not. However, I'm a little curious. I heard that the Mithril Alliance, the Blood Moon Clan, and the Caesar Family are allies. Mr. Joseph, aren't you afraid that they'll find out about your private invitation this time? "Lin Li was no longer interested in continuing the conversation. He would rather use the time to meditate.
"You don't have to worry about that, President Felic. I believe you'll receive their invitation soon. However, I think I already have an answer for the outcome of their invitation," Joseph said expressionlessly as he sat there without any intention of getting up to send Lin Li off.
Just as Joseph said, the Blood Moon Clan indeed sent someone to invite Lin Li soon after he returned to his room. Speaking of which, the Blood Moon Clan's appetite was not as big as the Mithril Alliance's, but it was definitely not small either. The Blood Moon Clan asked the Tower of Dusk to give up the swamp mine in the west of Doland on the condition that they promised not to join forces with the Mithril Alliance to target the Tower of Dusk.
