Chapter 961 Cooperation
It may be said that Osric relied on himself for everything. Whether it was Lingmu's design or the harmony and settings, it was all a reflection of his own wisdom and that of his subordinates. Brasil did not receive the inheritance of the Immortal King and did not have peak attainments in various fields. However, with his unparalleled status among the high elves, his tomb can definitely be called the masterpiece of the entire high elves. The crystallization of wisdom. Therefore, Lin Li is absolutely certain that compared with Osric's tomb, the dangers in Brasil's mausoleum will not be inferior in the slightest, and may even be much higher:
When Lin Li cooperated with the Supreme Council and the Oranna Magic Guild to explore Osric's tomb, the Oranna Magic Guild's divisions suffered heavy losses in that operation. As for the root cause of such huge losses, in addition to the sinister design in Osric's tomb, Northam's several decision-making mistakes were undoubtedly the most critical.
Northen's mistake ruined the elites that Aldwin, the president of the Oranna Magic Guild, had worked hard to cultivate. Naturally, he had nothing to worry about. However, Lin Li was not so generous. He did not want to ruin himself with his own hands due to his mistakes. Cultivate elite magicians who come unexpectedly.
What's more, now Lin Li and Hoffman are not only facing the problem of exploring the tomb, they also have to worry about the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family who are eyeing them nearby. Now the exploration teams of the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Twilight are stronger than each other, and the other side does not dare to reveal any evil intentions. However, if there are only moderate losses during the exploration process, I am afraid that the final The result can only be that the other party is advantaged.
These various aspects of responsibility inevitably put the discussion on the exploration of the tomb into a dilemma. Lin Li was reluctant to part with the elites he had cultivated, so could Hoffman be willing to part with them. In their minds, the best thing is to have the exploratory team from the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family to act as cannon fodder in front of the trap: However, the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family are not fools. From the time they exited the mausoleum until now, the people over there have There was nothing new at the camp either.
Three more days have passed, and there is still no progress in the discussion about the exploration of the tomb. Lin Lixian is getting impatient.
Although Brasil's mausoleum is of great value, there has never been a good exploration office. He can't waste his time on it. The Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family can afford it. The Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce currently has nothing better to do than explore the mausoleum. It was an important matter, but Lin Li couldn't afford to waste this time.
However, just when Lin Li was about to say goodbye to Hoffman after discussing Wu Hong again, someone from outside came into the tent and reported that a man from the camp opposite came over and said he wanted to meet Lin Li and Hoffman for talks. some things.
"It seems they have tolerated Master Yu..." There was finally a smile on Hoffman's face. In fact, there is no need to bother guessing what the other party wants to talk about, anyone can figure it out. The Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Dusk are helpless against Breshir Mausoleum. Will the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family be any better?
After hearing what Hoffman said, Lin Li also smiled knowingly, and temporarily put aside the idea of saying goodbye. He walked out of the tent with Hoffman, intending to see how things would change here:
The two people came out of the tent and could see an old magician with a white beard and a stooped body standing there at the gate of the camp. Hoffman's smile froze, with some caution in his eyes, and he whispered to Lin Li: "President Feyre, that is Elvis, the old patriarch of the Zordon family of the Mithril Alliance, and also the secret secretary of Joseph's previous term. Leader of the Silver Alliance."
The Mithril Alliance originally had thirteen families, but now it has become five major families. In order to avoid a situation where one family is the only one, the person in charge cannot always be from the same family, so there is a rule that has lasted for thousands of years. That is, every ten years is a term, and each family takes turns taking charge. This Elvis of the Zordon family was the last leader of the Mithril Alliance. He was also the oldest among the five major families and the one who had served as leader the most times:
In addition to being the oldest, Elvis's strength cannot be underestimated. Among the many legendary strongmen from the five major families, it can be said to be second to none. It is said that during the battle between the Mithril Alliance and the Blood Moon Society, Elvis once single-handedly fought against the three legendary sword masters of the Blood Moon Society. Not only did he not lose at all, but he almost killed the three sword masters. In the end, he was defeated. Mogadi, the president of the Blood Moon Society, awakened the dragon's bloodline to save the three sword masters.
Because of this, Elvis has extremely high prestige among the five major families. Even when he is not serving as the leader of the Mithril Alliance, the influence of his words among the five major families is no less than that of the current leader. By.
"But last time, after Elvis stepped down as the leader of the Mithril Alliance, he passed the position of head of the Zordon family to his son, which also means that he will no longer be the leader of the Mithril Alliance in the future. It is said that We have to prepare to attack the Holy Realm. I didn’t expect that this time for Brashear’s mausoleum, Joseph actually invited him out again.” Hoffman narrowed his eyes and looked over there, but his expression was also towards Elvis. There is not much hesitation, because everyone can see that the other party has not successfully taken that step.
After listening to Hoffman's introduction, Lin Li became more and more certain about what the other party was going to talk about. After all, the real irreconcilable contradiction between the four forces that made up the two exploration teams was not the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce and them. Which one, but the Tower of Twilight and the Mithril Alliance.
It can be said that the Mithril Alliance's intention to destroy the Tower of Twilight is very clear. Regardless of who took advantage of the previous series of suppression actions, it is difficult to resolve the hatred between the two forces. If it is Joseph from the Mithril Alliance who comes now, then no matter what we talk about, there will only be one outcome in the end: an unhappy ending. If Klaus, the patriarch of the Caesar family, is here, he has nothing to say on behalf of the Mithril Alliance. Therefore, Elvis, who has resigned for many years but has a prestige in the Mithril Alliance that is not inferior to that of the leader, is naturally the most suitable candidate to facilitate dialogue between the two parties.
Soon, Hoffman and Lin Li arrived at the gate of the camp, standing opposite the stooped Elvis.
"Haha, it turns out to be Master Elvis. You are not in the bluestone tower to attack the holy realm. Why do you suddenly remember to come here to see me and Master Feyre? Do you have any advice?" Although the other party is in the Mithril Alliance. Quite prestigious, but Hoffman still spoke without intending to save face for the other party.
In fact, as a businessman, the way to deal with things is to have both sides. The Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce has been established on the Qingfeng Plains for so many years. Apart from those people or forces that extend their claws to them, there are basically no absolutely opposing enemies. But now, one of the reasons why Hoffman spoke to Elvis in such a sarcastic tone was because he believed that the other party had stolen his information, so he was already unhappy, and the other reason was because of An Linli's heart.
What would you think if you were your partner, chatting and laughing with your enemy, especially at such a critical moment? Precisely because he is a businessman, Hoffman has a considerable understanding of human psychology. , naturally not at this critical moment, because the unclear attitude caused a gap in the cooperation with the Dusk Tower.
Elvis rolled his eyelids, his eyes turned white, and he said in a hoarse voice: "How could I miss such a rare thing as exploring Prince Breshear's tomb.
When Hofyan introduced Elvis before, he didn't mention his blindness. Obviously, this happened when he hit the holy realm. However, for a legendary master, his huge mental power is enough that even if he loses his eyesight, it will not have any impact on his actions.
"Oh, that's understandable, but maybe you have bad eyesight and are going in the wrong direction. Your exploration team's camp is on the opposite side..." Hoffman mocked unceremoniously. When he heard the other party mention the name Brashear, he was even more convinced that the other party must have stolen the information from him, but he still couldn't figure out where it leaked from.
Hearing this, Elvis was not angry. Instead, a smile appeared on his face. It was paired with his white and upturned eyes, which made people feel horrified. He said: "Hoffman will Don’t you know the purpose of my coming? Prince Breshear’s mausoleum is not simple. It is not easy for you or us to complete the exploration of the mausoleum alone. So, I don’t know what Hoffman will do. Commander, and President Ferre, are you interested in talking to us about cooperation?"
Elvis did not beat around the bush, but directly stated the purpose of his visit, to cooperate in exploring the tomb of Prince Breshear. Hoffman and Lin Li had actually anticipated Elvis's purpose, but anticipation was one thing, accepting it or not was another matter entirely.
Although it was Elvis who came forward from the Mithril Alliance, this could only prevent the dialogue from reaching a deadlock at the beginning, but it did not mean that the two sides could really eliminate any gaps. Especially the feud between the Tower of Twilight and the Mithril Alliance cannot be resolved with a few words. To really resolve the feud between the two families, one of the forces can only be completely eliminated.
"Haha, Master Elvis is joking. Do you think it is necessary for us to cooperate with you? Aren't you confident enough to enter the mausoleum first? You must have gained a lot. We can't I'm so cowardly. I still don't know what's in the mausoleum:" As a staunch ally of the Twilight Tower, Hoffman was not polite at all when he mocked the Mithril Alliance.
Faced with such blatant ridicule, Elvis just shook his head slightly, but did not get angry at all. His tone was still very calm and said: "In terms of exploring ruins, we are indeed not as experienced as President Hoffman. The losses caused by a somewhat reckless action should not be hidden from your eyes, so do you really think that with the strength of your team, you can deal with the many dangers in the tomb alone."
"You don't have to worry about it anymore. We naturally have our exploration plan. However, your exploration team ran into a wall this time and was very embarrassed. They didn't want to pack up their things and go back early. They also wanted to be with us. Talking about cooperation, this joke is too bad." Hoffman curled his lips, his words full of disdain. He does have disdainful qualifications. The Glitter Gold Merchant Guild started out by exploring ruins. Regardless of experience, the most important thing when exploring ruins is to be cautious. If everyone is as reckless and reckless as the Mithril Alliance, they may have been buried long ago. In which ruins?
Although he couldn't see it with his eyes, Elvis still turned his face to Lin Li and said, "I don't know what President Feyre thinks of the issue of cooperation."
It was impossible for Elvis not to know about the grudge between the Mithril Alliance and the Tower of Twilight, and he knew very well that the key to Hoffman's attitude lay with the Tower of Twilight: so he did not say anything to Hoffman again. Instead, he asked Lin Li for his opinion. If Lin Li could agree to the cooperation proposal, everything would be easy for Hoffman.
"Cooperation is not impossible...", UU Reading www. uukanshu.net Lin Li touched his chin, his tone was not as sarcastic as Hoffman's. Not only did Elvis perk up, but even Hoffman turned around in surprise.
Hoffman had just ridiculed Elvis repeatedly, not only because he felt that Elvis had stolen his information, but more importantly, because he believed that Lin Li would never agree to cooperate with the Mithril Alliance. After all, the mausoleum of Prince Breshear is no small matter. I would never cooperate with a mortal enemy to explore it. That would be simply asking for death. Instead of having to be careful of the dangers in the mausoleum and be wary of mortal enemies, it is better to take my own time. Feeling around.
But what Lin Li said next made Hoffman's expression relax, and it also made Elvis reveal a bitter smile that he couldn't hide. Lin Li gave Hoffman a reassuring look, and then said to Elvis: "Master Elvis, what do you think of this kind of cooperation? Since your exploration team has already entered the mausoleum, they must know the mausoleum better than us." To know more, how about your team exploring the road ahead, while we are at the back to pick you up at any time?"
When it comes to cooperation, there must always be a team at the forefront. Although the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar Family's exploration team were withdrawn by Di before, they definitely have more experience than this team, so they are naturally more suitable to continue to be the pioneers. . Therefore, Lin Li's proposal actually makes sense, but considering the relationship between the Mithril Alliance and the Tower of Dusk, this proposal is a bit difficult to accept.
