Chapter 955: An Unexpected Encounter
But if it is said that the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce leaked the news, it seems unlikely, this matter is said to be only known to Hoffman and Thomas, and several other major shareholders did not know before leaving, even the two surviving exploration team members.
The exploration team that had turned into a state of alert slowly moved forward, and after turning a few twists and turns in the canyon, they finally saw another exploration team in front of them that was also on guard. As the two teams met, the atmosphere suddenly became much more solemn, as if the slightest abnormality could lead to a fierce battle.
"Damn, how are these guys, how did they end up here." After Hoffman saw the person led by the other party, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
At this time, Lin Li also saw several acquaintances in the other party's team, and also knew the origin of this team. The other party's team was led by two people, one was Joseph, who demanded the expulsion of the Tower of Dusk in the small town of Gran, that is, the current head of the Mithril Alliance, and the other was Klaus, the patriarch of the Caesar family. It is said that the Caesar family and the Mithril Alliance fell out because of something, and withdrew from the Mithril Alliance in a fit of anger, although the two forces are not hostile in the Light Wind Plains, but they have always been very few. Looking at the way it looks now, I'm afraid the rumors are quite unreliable, or everything is originally that they are acting.
It's just that what makes Lin Li feel strange is that among the people behind Joseph and Klaus, there is a young man who is not very strong, and his gaze looks at him as if he has some deep hatred. When did you have an enemy who was so weak? Lin Li touched his chin, feeling a little puzzled.
The team of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Dusk stopped after traveling to a safe distance, and Hoffman and Lin Li slowly walked out of the group and walked towards the exploration team of the Mithril Alliance. At the same time, Joseph and Klaus over there, as well as several patriarchs of the Mithril Alliance, also walked out of the team and greeted Hoffman and Lin Li.
"It turned out to be Patriarch Joseph, this world is really small, I didn't expect that we could all meet in this kind of place." Hoffman is worthy of being a businessman, although he is very unhappy in his heart, but he does not show it on his face.
"Haha, President Hoffman, President Ferrey, it's really a coincidence, if I didn't believe in the character of the two, I would have thought they were being followed." Joseph said with a smile. Recently in the Plains of Light Wind, the Mithril Alliance was disgraced by the Tower of Dusk, and not to mention not taking advantage of it, he also lost a lot of gold coins, making him want to kill this opponent now.
However, although this place is no longer within the scope of the Light Wind Plains, the words of the Ash Warlock still have a great deterrent power, after all, the foundation of the Mithril Alliance is still in the Light Wind Plains. What's more, Joseph can also see clearly that the strength of the teams of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Dusk is not only no worse than his own side, but even a few points stronger.
And Hoffman and Lin Li's side are also reluctant to make trouble, after all, the other party is also an exploration team united by two top forces, and their strength is not something that can be manipulated at will. The Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family, there are more than a dozen legendary powerhouses in the light, and the mage group and the team composed of various professions behind him are also limited compared to their own side, and if they really fight, they may only end in a miserable victory.
The two sides politely exchanged some unnutritious conversations, and it seemed to be a harmonious scene, but not everyone was happy with the situation. On the side of the Mithril Alliance, the young man who had been looking at Lin Li with hostile eyes finally couldn't help but rush out, pointing at Lin Li angrily and was about to scold.
However, at this time, Klaus, the patriarch of the Caesar family, who was standing side by side with Joseph, raised his hand to stop the young man and shouted: "Charles, is there a place for you to talk here, don't you let me go back!" ”
"But grandpa, it's ...... him" Charles stopped abruptly and looked at his grandfather with a look of grievance. Even if he failed to keep the position of the patriarch of the Dida family, his grandfather had never reprimanded him so harshly, and now he actually let himself go back in front of so many people in order to cause himself to be the culprit of losing the patriarchal throne!
"What the hell, don't you even know a little bit of etiquette, that is President Ferrey of the Tower of Twilight. Get the hell out of here, don't embarrass me here. In front of everyone, Klaus changed his gentle appearance just now and reprimanded unceremoniously.
Charles glared at Lin Li angrily, but he didn't dare to disobey his grandfather's words, so he reluctantly turned around and returned to his team. It's just that after going back, he first lost his temper at the people around him, and then stared at Lin Li with extremely resentful eyes, as if he had unforgettable hatred.
Can you not hate! The head of the Dida family, who was originally dignified, what a scenery it was, it was because of that damn Fei Lei that the spirit of a group of magicians in the family mage group was severely damaged, and they lost the possibility of going further, and as a result, they were also removed from the position of patriarch by the family elders, how can this hatred be described in words! Charles didn't know why his grandfather stopped him, so he could only stare at the enemy opposite, and he didn't know how many times he had killed the other party.
Seeing that Charles was scolded back, everyone on the side of the Mithril Alliance breathed a sigh of relief first. If Charles's words really come out, then with what they know about the young president of the Tower of Dusk, I'm afraid a conflict will be inevitable, and what will they use to explore the ruins at that time.
In fact, Lin Li and Charles basically didn't see each other much in the small town, so they never remembered what kind of enmity Charles had with him. However, when he heard Charles's voice just now, coupled with Nophier's explanation beside him, he knew what was going on.
"It turns out that this Charles is Klaus's grandson, no wonder he will be made the patriarch of the Dida family, presumably hoping to use this relationship to maintain their position in the Mithril Alliance with the help of the Caesar family. It's a pity that although this kid's magic talent is good, he has never been a piece of material to be a patriarch. When Klaus reprimanded Charles, Hoffman whispered to Lin Li.
At this time, after Klaus scolded his grandson Charles back, he also turned back to face Lin Li and said, "President Ferrey, let you see the smile, this child has been neglected since his father died when he was a child, so he has been neglected to discipline, I hope you don't mind." ”
"Patriarch Klaus is serious, it's just a small thing, I won't take it to heart." Lin Li replied with a smile. Although the Tower of Dusk and the Mithril Alliance are now a bit incompatible, the more important thing now is to explore this ruin, so Lin Li answered very politely.
The two sides talked a few more words, just to show that they didn't want unnecessary fights here, and at the same time hoped that the other party would not have anything to do, and then they each returned to their own teams. Then, the two expeditions were distinctly divided and headed in the same direction, and when they reached an open field in a canyon, they stopped again and began to set up camp.
For many legendary powerhouses, it naturally doesn't matter if they don't rest or not, even if they don't rest for a few days or months, they won't feel noticeably tired. However, those below the legendary level, whether they are archmages or warriors, still need enough rest to replenish their energy if they want to maintain their peak combat power in dealing with various unexpected situations.
In view of today's meeting between the two teams, the senior management of both sides also needs to re-discuss the next actions, after all, there is a strong competitor, and many things have begun to change.
"Grandpa, why are you still so polite to that Fei Lei, if he hadn't hurt the people I brought, those old men wouldn't have stopped me from being the patriarch." Charles finally waited for the opportunity to be alone with his grandfather, and immediately poured out the grievances in his heart. The position of the patriarch of his own has only been sitting for less than two years, and the chair has been dismissed before it is hot, and the root of everything is on that Ferret.
"Old man? That's what you're scolding me behind my back," Klaus glared at him, raising his hand to strike.
Charles saw that his grandfather was not really angry, so he hurriedly flashed to the side and begged for mercy: "You are angry, how dare I say you, I mean the elders of the Dida family, they are the ones who let me be the patriarch, and they are the ones who don't let me be the patriarch." ”
"Patriarch Patriarch, do you think it is an honorable thing to be a patriarch, that is a responsibility. If your father hadn't been obsessed with the position of patriarch at the beginning, he wouldn't have been dragged down to the point where his strength had not improved for decades, and in the end, he actually wanted to summon the Abyss Demon Dragon, otherwise he wouldn't have affected your mother......" Speaking of the dead daughter, Klaus sat back on his seat, and his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy.
"Grandpa, the Mithril Alliance and the Tower of Twilight are already incompatible, why are you still being so polite to them. With the power of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family, it is not easy to clean up their little Tower of Twilight. "Compared with his dead parents, Charles still thinks more about the throne of the patriarch, if he has never sat on it, it doesn't matter, the key is that after sitting on the patriarch for two years, he has already liked the feeling of being above ten thousand people.
"What about the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce?" For Charles's self-righteousness, Klaus did not say anything to blame. In his opinion, his grandson's magical talent is very high, and he will definitely be able to step into the legendary realm in time, and as for other aspects, he can be educated slowly. It is precisely because of this that after Charles's plan to control the Dida family unexpectedly failed, he didn't blame this grandson too much, after all, a legendary powerhouse is also quite important to a force.
