After all, they already had a relationship with the Brilliance Shrine. However, the attitude of the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom, who had always been arrogant, had also changed significantly. That surprised Archbishop Martin and Prince Jeremiah.
Lin Li did not put on airs, and instead brought his men to the camp to welcome the four of them into the tent in the center of the camp. He smiled and asked them to take a seat, as if he had already forgotten about what happened yesterday. Lin Li's behavior made the four of them feel a little more relaxed, especially Prince Jeremiah, who had made a fool of himself yesterday. The uneasiness in his heart seemed to have faded.
Apart from Lin Li, Master Basel was also sitting in the tent. There were a total of six senior executives of the three forces in the tent, and it seemed rather simple at first glance. After the six of them took their seats, none of them spoke first, causing the atmosphere in the tent to become rather solemn.
After a moment of silence, Lin Li looked at the four of them on both sides, and smilingly said, "Why have you come to me at this time? Is there something you need?"
Of course, Lin Li knew that the four of them had most likely come to him to discuss cooperation and exploration. However, the cooperation would obviously have a different meaning.
"Let me ask you, I heard that you've explored this Sky Castle before. What do you know about it?" Prince Kanber, who was on the Rotterdam Kingdom's side, did not mention any cooperation. Instead, he asked Lin Li about his understanding of the Sky Castle.
As for cooperation, Prince Kanber did not think that the Tower of Dusk was qualified to cooperate with him. To him, he was representing the Rotterdam Kingdom, and if they wanted to cooperate, it should be between countries. For example, he would cooperate with Jeremiah who represented the Ledin Kingdom.
As for the Tower of Dusk, Kanber found out through some understanding yesterday that the Tower of Dusk was just a local force from the Breezy Plains. He was a prince who represented the great Rotterdam Kingdom, and yet he actually had to cooperate with a small local force. That was simply demeaning.
As soon as he heard Kanber's impolite question, Donald, who was at the side, could not help but lament in his heart. Clearly, all the reminders and instructions he had given before coming were all in vain. Forget about cooperation, just based on Kanber's bossy attitude, he might even be chased out of the room.
Looking at Prince Kanber, who was raising his chin and waiting for Lin Li to answer the question, Donald really had the urge to cover his forehead and sigh. In fact, with his understanding of Prince Kanber, he should have long expected such a thing. However, both of them were the leaders of the team, and he couldn't possibly kick Kanber aside when it came to an important matter like cooperation.
After hearing Kanber's question, Lin Li couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he did not get angry. He smiled, and calmly said, "Kanber, what does that have to do with me?"
They were not in a cooperative relationship now, and could even be considered to be in a competitive relationship. Lin Li really couldn't figure out where the other party's sense of superiority came from. Did he really think that everyone in Anril had to submit to the Rotterdam Kingdom?
If it were in the Kanber Kanber, Lin Li would have really Kanber Lin., and King, there, Kanber had to, King, Kan. For example, if a child cried and threw a tantrum in front of an adult, perhaps it would be worth teaching him a lesson. But if it was an ant doing such a thing, who would really take it to heart?
On the Brilliance Shrine's side, Archbishop Martin was overjoyed to see such a scene. Even though he was the one who revealed to the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom that Lin Li had explored the Sky Castle before in order to incite their willingness to cooperate. However, for the sake of interests, he did not want to see the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom getting too close to the Tower of Dusk.
Cooperation was actually necessary, especially for the Rotterdam Kingdom. After all, they did not have much friendship with either side. Donald could see that very clearly. If his attitude did not change, it would only cause the Brilliance Shrine and the Tower of Dusk to form a closer alliance.
Hence, after Lin Li's question, Donald pressed his hand on Kanber's shoulder before Prince Kanber could speak again. He looked at Lin Li, and said, "President Felic, everyone is well aware of the current situation, so there's no need to say anything meaningless. Archbishop Martin and Prince Jeremiah of the Brilliance Shrine have come here for the purpose of discussing cooperation with the Tower of Dusk regarding the exploration of the Sky Castle. "
Although Donald was the first to propose cooperation, he also implicated the Brilliance Shrine, which meant that the cooperation was proposed by both parties. That way, the Rotterdam Kingdom and the Brilliance Shrine would not be too passive in the upcoming discussion.
In fact, Donald's statement was not wrong. After all, the Rotterdam Kingdom and the Brilliance Shrine had already reached a cooperation agreement before the Tower of Dusk's team arrived. However, the relationship between the Tower of Dusk and the Brilliance Shrine was obviously not comparable to that of a temporary partner like the Rotterdam Kingdom.
Of course, Donald's method of binding the negotiation immediately made Archbishop Martin feel a little dissatisfied. If it weren't for the fact that he was worried about the hidden dangers in the Sky Castle, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to look for the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom to discuss cooperation. In fact, he might even join forces with the Tower of Dusk to destroy the people of the Rotterdam Kingdom first. Anyway, for the past 1,300 years, the Rotterdam Kingdom seemed to have drifted away from Anril, and had almost no communication with any other countries. There was no friendship between them and the Brilliance Shrine and the Ledin Kingdom.
However, what kind of place was this? It was the Sky Castle that was once controlled by the Immortal King. No one knew what kind of dangers were hidden there. The Immortal King was a figure who helped the High Elves establish a prosperous dynasty, and could be considered an unparalleled powerhouse in the history of Anril. No one knew what kind of terrifying existences he had set up in the Sky Castle.
Hence, at this moment, Archbishop Martin suppressed his anger, and sincerely said to Lin Li, "Master Felic, although it's our first time here, and we haven't encountered much trouble so far, we can also feel that there must be a huge hidden danger in this Sky Castle. Hence, I persuaded the two from the Rotterdam Kingdom to come together. I hope that the three of us can reach a cooperation in this exploration. "
"Are you kidding me? What's the use of his experience? If we all explore according to his experience, I'm afraid we'll end up with nothing. Archbishop Martin, the cooperation between us can be considered a cooperation between the Rotterdam Kingdom and the Ledin Kingdom. Does the Tower of Dusk represent the Felan Kingdom? "
Prince Kanber was very disdainful of Donald and Martin's behavior of lowering their status. Ignoring Donald's repeated hints, he continued, "Of course, it's not that the Tower of Dusk can't participate in the exploration, but such a local force should only be qualified to participate in the exploration if it attaches itself to one of us. Prince Jeremiah, what do you think? "
He had to admit that Prince Kanber's words did make some sense. In anyone's opinion, the so-called experience of the previous exploration was nothing more than the obstacles they had encountered and the gains they had obtained. Besides, could those experiences be repeated? The gains along the way had already been taken away, so what was the point of going through it again? Those treasures wouldn't grow again anyway.
However, when he heard Prince Kanber asking for his opinion, Prince Jeremiah shivered for no reason. The impact of the joke he had made yesterday had yet to fade, and he couldn't bring himself to say anything at this juncture. Although he really wanted to vent his anger, he was worried that he would embarrass himself again. In the end, he couldn't react for a while, and subconsciously said, "Is that so? What? This …"
Seeing that Jeremiah was behaving like that, Prince Kanber almost didn't hide the contempt on his face. Without waiting for Jeremiah to answer him, he turned his head to look at Lin Li, and proudly said, "I'll give you a chance. You can rely on us now as a condition for participating in the exploration of the Sky Castle. If there are any gains during the exploration, we won't treat you badly. Besides, after you leave this place, I believe your Tower of Dusk will definitely have a place in the Breezy Plains with the support of the Rotterdam Kingdom. "
Looking at Prince Kanber, who was speaking so confidently, Archbishop Martin was stunned. He had always thought that Prince Jeremiah, who was beside him, was already arrogant enough. He didn't expect the prince of the Rotterdam Kingdom to be even more outrageous than Jeremiah. He asked Lin Li to rely on him without caring about Lin Li's background at all. It was as if he had already become the lord of the world. No wonder he was known to have the bloodline of the High Elves.
However, the arrogance of the High Elves was because they had the strength to unify Anril and create an unprecedented dynasty. All of that was achieved with true strength. However, Prince Kanber didn't think that the team he was leading would be able to suppress the Tower of Dusk, not to mention the strength of the Rotterdam Kingdom.
"In that case, there's nothing to talk about. Please." Lin Li could ignore Jeremiah for the sake of Archbishop Martin, but there was really no need for him to be nice to Prince Kanber, who thought so highly of himself. It was already good enough that he didn't throw him out.
Prince Kanber could naturally tell that Lin Li was asking him to leave. In a fit of anger, he stood up and sneered at Lin Li. "Very well, very well. One day, you'll know what a wrong decision you've made!" After saying that, he actually left his seat and strode out of the tent.
Seeing this situation, Donald panicked, and hurriedly stood up as well. He said to Lin Li and Archbishop Martin, "Don't worry, the cooperation is in the interest of all three of us. He just can't figure it out yet. I'll go persuade him, and we'll talk about the details of the cooperation when we return. "After saying that, he hurriedly chased after Prince Kanber before the two of them could respond.
Donald finally caught up with Prince Kanber, who had left in a huff, outside the camp of the Tower of Dusk. However, before Donald could persuade him, Prince Kanber spoke up first, and his tone was full of anger. "Master Donald, you saw it just now. It's not that I didn't give them a chance, but that Felic doesn't know what's good for him. Anyway, it's just a small local force. We might as well go back and reorganize the team to destroy them. "
"Destroy them? Didn't you see that they have an ambiguous relationship with the Brilliance Shrine? Will the Brilliance Shrine just sit back and watch us attack them!? "Donald was infuriated when he heard Kanber's words.
However, in Donald's heart, he actually did not really regard the Tower of Dusk as a threat, and he was only worried about the Brilliance Shrine. The dwarf from yesterday had only surprised him in terms of alchemy, and it did not mean that the Tower of Dusk was very powerful.
"So what if it's the Brilliance Shrine? Aren't they afraid of provoking a war between the two countries?" Kanber asked confidently. He represented the Rotterdam Kingdom, while the Brilliance Shrine represented the Ledin Kingdom. If the two really got into a fight, it would definitely cause a conflict between the two countries. Besides, Kanber was not clueless about everything. Over the years, the Ledin Kingdom and the Felan Kingdom had been entangled in the border issue. Would the Ledin Kingdom take the risk of offending the Rotterdam Kingdom under such circumstances?
"Can't we let you get nothing if we don't do anything!? What are we here for? Without enough credit, how can His Majesty hand over the throne to you smoothly!? Do you really think that your brothers are all willing to see you inherit the throne? " Donald, who was so infuriated that he could no longer care about Kanber's identity. He reprimanded him in an exasperated tone.
Hearing about the succession of the throne, Kanber's attitude could not help but soften a little. However, he was still unwilling to give in verbally. He said, "Those good-for-nothings, what right do they have to compete with me?"
"You should be clear about whether they have the right or not. In order to ensure that there are no accidents during this operation, cooperation is imperative. Forget it, don't bother about the cooperation. You just have to remember that no matter what we do in the future, it's all for the sake of letting you inherit the throne smoothly. That's the only priority. Go back first, I'll discuss the details of the cooperation with them. " Donald initially planned to pull Kanber back again, but after thinking about the prince's character, he felt that he might stir up trouble if he really participated in the following negotiations.
Kanber now knew that what Donald said was right, but he couldn't bring himself to come out and go back. So, he followed Donald's words and walked directly to his team's campsite without saying anything.
