Chapter 949 Gargas
And that Hoffman was able to tell this incredible news showed that the exploration team might have really discovered something.
A ray of uncontrollable excitement flashed in Hoffman's eyes, and he nodded and said: "Yes, the exploration team went deep into Rockdammer, followed the clues to search for nearly half a year, and even lost contact with us for a time, and finally finally found it in the Gargas Grand Canyon , an amazing discovery was made.”
To be honest, if he didn't know that Hoffman wouldn't lie to him, it would be hard for Lin Li to believe it. This was becoming more and more ridiculous. The environment in Lockfanmo is already quite harsh compared to Anriel Continent, and the environment in the Gargas Grand Canyon that Hoffman mentioned is even worse to the extreme. If the high elves are disgusted with the environment in Lockfanmo, then they can be said to be deeply disgusted with the environment in Gargas.
Gargas means insurmountable in the language of the dwarves, and the Gargas Grand Canyon is indeed an almost insurmountable chasm. The entire Grand Canyon stretches for thousands of miles, and the cliffs on both sides are like knives and axes. They are covered with thick ice that has existed for thousands of years. The bottom of the canyon is bottomless, and the pitch black is daunting. All you can hear is the shrill wail of the cold wind, which seems to lead directly to the terrifying endless abyss.
The Grand Canyon of Gargas separates the Dwarf Kingdom and the Breeze Plain into two different worlds, with almost no possibility of crossing over. It is precisely because of the existence of this natural chasm that almost all trade between the Qingfeng Plain and the Dwarf Kingdom must pass through the territory of the Riding Kingdom. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why many forces in Qingfeng Plain have always refused to integrate into the Kingdom of France. After all, if they truly integrate into the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Leiding will definitely add many obstacles to this trade route.
"About two months ago, the exploration team that went to Rockdammer returned here. Only two people from the fifty-person exploration team came back. But their sacrifice was not in vain. From what they brought back, we found that We have discovered an absolutely astonishing secret. In the Grand Canyon of Gargas, not only are there likely to be ruins of high elves, but the scale is probably far greater than any we have excavated before." Hoffman's little eyes sparkled. Light, uncontrollable excitement appeared on his face.
For a seemingly absurd clue, an exploration team of fifty people was sent out, which shows that the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce is indeed as enthusiastic about exploring the ruins as it was back then. And those who can join the exploration team are probably the most loyal to the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce. With Hoffman's status, ordinary people would not mention such a thing.
At this time, seeing Hoffman's uncontrollable excitement, Lin Li's interest couldn't help but be piqued, and he asked: "I wonder if it is appropriate to talk about the amazing discovery that Master Hoffman mentioned here? explain."
"Haha, Master Fei Lei is overthinking. Since I want to invite you to cooperate, I naturally have to come up with something that can convince you." After saying that, Hoffman took out some things and placed them one by one between the two of them. table.
They were some stone flakes and a few metal ornament fragments, which didn't look too surprising. However, when Lin Li took a closer look, he saw that some of the stone pieces were engraved with patterns, while others were engraved with the characters of high elves. The few pieces of metal jewelry fragments also exuded faint magic fluctuations, especially the patterns on the edges, which were more like part of some kind of high-level magic pattern.
Lin Li had no research on archeology, but he could see at this time that these inconspicuous things undoubtedly belonged to high elves. Especially the magic pattern on the metal fragment. Although it does not mean that the current inscription master cannot draw it, but if you want to draw it on a small jewelry, I am afraid that only a truly top jewelry master can do it. However, in today's Qingfeng Plain, jewelery masters are almost extinct. Even high-level jewelers are well-known in the continent. At least Lin Li has never heard of a jewelery master, let alone a top jewelery master.
"These things do seem to belong to the high elves. However, I don't know how you judge the scale of the ruins." Lin Li believed that Hoffman would not deceive him with other things, so these few high elves' This should prove that the Gargas Grand Canyon is indeed likely to have traces of high elves' activities. However, Lin Li couldn't care less about the scale of the ruins. After all, a place like the Gargas Grand Canyon was not worth a trip without enough motivation.
Lin Li looked at it from a technical perspective, while Hoffman relied on his understanding of history and his years of experience in excavating high elf ruins. After taking out those few things.
Hoffman took out another drawing and drew the pattern of a delicate and complicated ornament. Then he placed several fragments of the table in the corresponding positions of the pattern one by one. Then he explained to Lin Li: "Feire Master, please see, the drawing of this jewelry was found in a high elf ruins we once dug. While drawing this jewelry, it is said that it was specially made for the royal family of high elf. Look at these fragments, they are Didn’t you see something?”
Lin Li walked forward curiously, took a closer look at the drawing and the metal fragments in the drawing, and was suddenly surprised. The drawing was definitely larger than the real thing, but just by relying on the magic patterns of a few metal fragments, Lin Li was able to accurately judge that these metal fragments should indeed be fragments of the ornaments in the drawing.
As for whether it was for the exclusive use of the high elf royal family, Lin Li made some judgments in his mind after seeing the entire structure of the magic pattern. This magic pattern is a master-level holy blessing magic pattern. One of its functions is to create a field that breaks the invisibility. Unless you are a saint-level assassin, you will have nothing to hide when you step into the field. Another function is to provide the user with strong protection. Even if the opponent's attack power exceeds the limit of the magic pattern, it can still withstand an almost unlimited attack for the user.
However, what really attracts the high elves is not these two already quite heaven-defying functions. It is that when the Holy Blessing Demon Pattern is activated, the user will be enveloped in colorful light, emitting divine light like a god coming to the world. Inviolable momentum. And because of this, in the dynasty of the high elves, only the royal family can use the Holy Blessing Pattern. Even the great lord Osric, who is known as the first person under the Queen, is not qualified to use Holy Blessing anywhere. Magic pattern.
Therefore, based on the Holy Blessing Demon Pattern of this metal fragment, it is basically certain that the High Elf ruins born from the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce most likely belong to a High Elf royal family. In the past few years since Lin Li came to the world of Anriel, he has visited the City in the Sky, the Tomb of Osric, and the Underground Palace. It can be said that each of the treasures he found is quite important. Compared with ordinary ruins, it is really Not very discerning.
However, the relics of the High Elf royal family are remarkable. They are nobles among the High Elf nobles. Even if they are not famous in history, as a royal family, they will have huge wealth far superior to other high Elf nobles. What's more, unlike humans, the blood of the high elves royal family has destined them to be no ordinary people. Having higher talents and more resources gave them far more advantages than ordinary nobles in all aspects, and the relics they left behind were naturally destined to be extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Lin Li couldn't help but feel a little excited. Looking at the drawings and metal fragments on the table, he said: "If it is really the relic of the high elf royal family, it will be an unprecedented discovery!"
"Yes, this is exactly what I want to say, but no matter which high elf royal family in history this ruins belongs to, there must be dangers inside, and it is not easy to get it. Because of this, considering that you have explored I have passed the Sky City and the Tomb of Osric, so I hope to cooperate with you to explore and excavate this ruins." After speaking, Hoffman looked at Lin Li expectantly, waiting for his answer.
If it were an ordinary relic, with the current strength of the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce, there would be no need to cooperate and share it with others. However, this time it might be the relic of the high elf royal family, so Hoffman had no choice but to be careless.
The Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce started by exploring ruins. The most important thing is to be able to clearly see how important one is and not to be stunned by the huge temptation. Although it is said that wealth can be found in danger, how many people can really seek wealth in a life of almost death? Maybe it can be done once or twice, but the goddess of luck always takes a nap, and then it will really be all in vain.
Lin Li leaned back in his chair, looked away from the table, and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.
After all, it was a relic of the High Elf royal family. It was impossible for Lin Li not to be moved. But seeing that the catastrophe predicted by Golgresco was not far away, was it worth allocating his time and energy to this matter?
After a moment of thinking, Lin Li finally turned his gaze to Hoffman, with a smile on his face and said, "Since Master Hoffman has even shared this news with me, what reason do I have to refuse."
Hearing that Beili finally agreed, Hoffman couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Master Fei Lei, next, let's talk about the specific details of this cooperation." Although, in this Qingfeng Plain, there are There are quite a few forces that are strong enough to cooperate with the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce, but the only ones that Hoffman can really trust to cooperate with are Lin Li and his Twilight Tower.
In this world of the jungle, those who trust others easily will often die badly. As the president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, how could Hoffman not know this truth? The relics of the High Elf Royal Family are too tempting, and it also means that the dangers involved are absolutely unimaginable. Finding collaborators who are not strong enough will not be of any use. And finding collaborators like the Mithril Alliance requires a lot of effort during the exploration process. Watch out for each other.
But Lin Li was different. Whether he was cooperating with the Marfa family to explore the Sky City, or later exploring the Osric Tomb with the Oranna Magic Guild, Hoffman had learned about it in detail and knew that this was a reliable alliance. . Although during the process of exploring the Sky City, Lin Li had a conflict with the Dark Blade, which resulted in the deaths of the legendary assassins Lansdale and Stefan. This incident has been repeatedly mentioned by the enemies of the Twilight Tower. However, Hoffman knew the inside story, and he also knew how Lin Li helped the elf elders and others when they evacuated. Therefore, in Hoffman's eyes, there is probably no more reassuring collaborator than Lin Li in the entire Qingfeng Plain, or even in the entire Anriel world.
Now that the two have decided to cooperate on this matter, it is natural that they must first talk about the distribution of benefits. A reliable cooperation is based on fair distribution of interests. No matter what kind of friendship the two parties have, the issue of distribution of interests must be discussed clearly first.
Because of the importance of the matter, this matter was not left to their respective subordinates to discuss, but was discussed separately by Hoffman and Lin Li. In fact, there are not many things to talk about. One is how much effort both parties have invested in this exploration operation, and the other is how to distribute the harvest from the exploration. Who doesn’t know what is in that ruins? Naturally, it is impossible to detail every item, not to mention that there may be nothing at all, so we will simply talk about how to divide it.

It didn't take long for the two of them to agree on everything. They first agreed on the possible scale of the ruins and agreed on the amount of effort each would put into it. The distribution of benefits was set to be equally distributed. No matter what was harvested, the price would be determined by the person who got it. Compensate the other party. It should be said that Hoffman made a small concession on this rule of profit distribution. After all, the amount of effort that both parties will invest in the agreement is equivalent, but the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce is the one who discovered the clues to the ruins. If you really care about it, even getting an extra 10% is reasonable.
Of course, the actual concession made by Hoffman does not mean that he really suffered a loss. First of all, in this world of intrigue, it is difficult to find a reassuring collaborator. After all, anything can happen in the ruins. It is not uncommon in Anriel's history for groups to be destroyed due to trust issues. In addition, the power Lin Li promised to send was only superficial power. Lin Li himself was not an ordinary twenty-fourth-level legendary powerhouse, not to mention the likes of Star Fragments, Elemental Young Dragons, Nightmare Lords, etc. A well-known trump card.
After discussing the cooperation, Hoffman put away those things and continued to chat with Lin Li about the situation in Qingfeng Plain. Especially those things that happened in Gran Town that day, Hoffman is still full of emotion when talking about them. He never thought that the Ash Warlock, who had lived in seclusion in Gran Town for thousands of years, and the god of Qingfeng Plain, would actually treat Lin Li. See the Tower of Dusk in a new light.
