After all, the Black Tower was famous for putting benefits above all else. It could be said that they wouldn't let go of any benefits. Plundering the Merlin Family's resource area was something that the Black Tower would definitely agree to.
But first, he had to probe the Black Tower's attitude.
"Yes, Teacher …"
After watching Mark leave, Rhett also left the living quarters a few minutes later and walked towards the Black Tower's camp.
He set foot on that barren land and quickly reached the Black Tower's camp.
"Hello, I am Rhett from the Watson Family's Ancestral Land. I want to find Sir Weiss or Sir Suval to discuss a very important matter …"
"Alright, please come with me …"
A 9th Rank High Mage led Rhett to the center of the camp before stopping in front of a gorgeous living quarters. "The Sir Suval you are looking for is inside …"
"Thank you …"
Rhett indifferently glanced at the 9th Rank High Mage before entering the living quarters. When he saw an old man about the same age as him, he immediately showed a respectful expression. "Sir Suval, I'm really sorry to disturb you …"
He more or less knew a bit about this old man. Three hundred years ago, he had crushed all the young geniuses of the Andalusia Kingdom. He was already a 7th Rank Archmage in his middle years and smoothly entered the Black Tower's Council. He was praised as the person with the greatest chance of becoming the next Chairman.
Unfortunately, Thornton Merlin's appearance had thoroughly shattered Suval's legend and caused Suval's magic path to be cut short, leaving him stuck at the 7th Rank High Mage realm for the rest of his life.
If he made a proposal to jointly deal with the Merlin Family to this old Representative, wouldn't he agree?
But thinking about it …
Suval was someone who had hopes of reaching the Heaven Rank, but after three hundred years, he was still stuck at the 7th Rank of the Archmage realm. How could he not hate the Merlin Family?
This matter was almost in the bag …
"Oh, turns out it's Sir Rhett. May I ask why you are looking for me?" Suval looked at Rhett with a puzzled expression. Although they had met a few days ago, they weren't familiar with each other …
"Haha, I came here this time on behalf of the Watson Family to propose a cooperation proposal to the Black Tower. I think you will definitely be interested in this proposal …"
"Oh?" Suval indifferently replied, no change in his expression. Although the Watson Family could be considered one of Okland's first-rate forces, they were far inferior to the Black Tower. The Black Tower choosing to cooperate with the Watson Family and the Merlin Family to attack the Horn of Fertility was completely unexpected.
In normal times, how could the powerful Black Tower cooperate with the two families?
Thus, Suval wasn't interested after hearing Rhett's words. In his eyes, the Watson Family seemed to have tasted the sweetness of this cooperation and wanted to use the power of the Black Tower to reap some benefits.
It had to be said that this idea was too stupid …
"The Merlin Family only has one Planar Legion in the Horn of Fertility, about two thousand people, five of which are Archmages. There isn't a single High Rank Archmage, but the Merlin Family occupies the most fertile land. Sir Suval, do you understand?"
"What do you mean?" Suval's expression slowly sank as he frowned.
'Sure enough …'
Seeing Suval's expression, Rhett immediately knew that this aged Representative was moved. This was just as he had expected. He then said, "Sir Suval, I don't know if you have thought about it, but if the Watson Family and the Black Tower make a move together, we could easily eliminate the Merlin Family's forces. At that time, that fertile land would fall into the hands of our two forces. Naturally, our Watson Family would only need a small portion …"
After saying this, Rhett calmly looked at Suval, calmly waiting for the other side's answer.
In his eyes, the Black Tower had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, Suval and the Merlin Family had a grudge that couldn't be resolved. Whether it was from a personal point of view or from the Black Tower's point of view, they couldn't refuse his proposal.
The Merlin Family's forces in the Horn of Fertility were pitifully weak. They could be easily eliminated, and the spoils of war were the most fertile land in the Horn of Fertility, representing a huge amount of wealth.
But what Rhett waited for was a sneer.
"Haha …"
Suval's expression was very unsightly. He looked at Rhett with a scrutinizing gaze and coldly said, "I really didn't expect this."
"Ah?" Rhett was stunned. He suddenly discovered that Sir Suval's reaction wasn't as he had imagined. It was as if he was trying to suppress his anger.
'How could he be angry after making such a good proposal?
This is simply illogical … '
'Hold on …'
'Could it be that Mafa Merlin really has a good relationship with the Black Tower or reached some kind of agreement?'
'But how could this be …'
'Mafa Merlin is at best a 6th Rank High Mage. In a battlefield like the Raging Flame Plane, he's only a bit better than cannon fodder. How could he be worthy of the Black Tower's protection?'
"Sir Suval, this is a rare opportunity …" After thinking about it, Rhett couldn't understand why Sir Suval was reacting like that, so he reminded him in a low voice.
"Enough!"
But at this time, Suval was like an angry lion. He clenched his fists and emitted a cold aura as he roared, "Rhett, it looks like you are up to no good! I managed to trade that piece of land with great difficulty, and now you want me to snatch it back from Mafa Merlin? Are you trying to trick me to death? Oh, I know, your Watson Family is definitely on good terms with Mafa Merlin and you want to join hands to trick me … "
"I … I … How could I trick you? You must have misunderstood …" Rhett's expression became extremely unsightly, almost devoid of blood. He kept retreating as Suval roared, feeling extremely nervous.
Although he wasn't weaker than Suval and was also a 7th Rank Archmage, the other side's identity was too special.
He was a Representative of the Black Tower, and he was the most senior Representative apart from Hören. The Watson Family would inevitably run out of luck if they accidentally offended him.
But he really couldn't understand Suval's words. What was he trying to say?
'Snatching that fertile land of the Merlin Family to help your Black Tower obtain benefits is called tricking you?
'What kind of logic is this …'
While Rhett's mind was in chaos, Suval's anger had already calmed down. Although his expression was still gloomy, he wasn't as angry as before.
This Representative of the Black Tower took a deep breath and indifferently looked at Rhett. "Alright, I don't want to get involved in the matters between your Watson Family and the Merlin Family, but if you want to trick me, you are definitely courting death …"
Suval had already regained his rationality. He suddenly recalled the relationship between the Watson Family and the Merlin Family. These two Families had been fighting each other since the founding of the kingdom, and they wouldn't stop until one side was dead. It seemed unlikely that they would join hands to trick him.
Perhaps the Watson Family didn't know and just saw this opportunity to seize the Merlin Family's land.
It had to be said that this was really asking for trouble.
'Let's not talk about whether your Watson Family can defeat the Merlin Family's Planar Legion. Mafa Merlin took the initiative to give up that piece of land to your Watson Family.'
Nothing could be done about it, Suval had experienced the young mage's methods. Not long ago, he had been like the Watson Family in the Ghost Valley, wanting to take some land from the young mage's hands, but what was the result?
Not only did he not get the land, but he also almost died there.
It was to the point that he had a shadow in his heart. He couldn't help feeling scared whenever he thought of those things.
'Damn, how could it be so easy to take advantage of the crafty Mafa Merlin?'
But he didn't plan on telling the Watson Family about this.
He didn't have a good impression of the Watson Family to begin with, and they even wanted to drag him down with them. Not directly attacking was already giving the Watson Family enough face.
Since the Watson Family wanted to take advantage of Mafa Merlin, it would be good to let this reckless Family suffer a bit so that they wouldn't learn from their mistakes in the future.
"Alright, Rhett Watson, if there's nothing else, please leave …" Suval coldly looked at Rhett and didn't say anything else.
"Yes, yes …"
Rhett nodded with a strange expression before turning to leave the living quarters. He was truly baffled. Such a good thing had actually been refused by Suval …
This was too illogical …
He really couldn't understand why he would reject such a thing that had hundreds of benefits and no harm.
'Is he out of his mind?'
'If Suval wasn't out of his mind, why would he react like that after hearing my proposal?
It's like I'm trying to harm him … '
But it wasn't like he didn't gain anything this time. From Suval's words, he could tell that the relationship between Mafa Merlin and the Black Tower wasn't as good as he had imagined. Moreover, the Black Tower didn't seem to want to get involved in the matters between the Watson Family and the Merlin Family.
Although he had been bluntly thrown out by Suval, Rhett was in a very relaxed mood. Without the Black Tower's apprehensions, he could deal with Mafa Merlin without any misgivings.
Rhett soon returned to the Watson Family's camp and stayed in his living quarters to think of countermeasures. He definitely couldn't brazenly deal with the Merlin Family at this critical juncture, because that would lead to a conflict between the two major forces.
'But that damned Mafa Merlin harmed the disciple I valued the most. I can't let him off so easily.'
