Chapter 939: Roland
If the Blood Moon Society only needs a small amount of Serum Grass, Lin Li can give them the Serum Grass of the swamp, although the Serum Grass is rare, but the Blood Moon Society needs not only the Serum Grass, but the swamp that is conducive to the growth of the Serum Grass, if it is really just a useless swamp, Lin Li does not mind reducing an opponent for the Tower of Dusk at the cost of this.
However, in that swamp mining area, there are a large number of rare magic metals, these rare magic metals are not the main materials for forging weapons and equipment, but they are absolutely indispensable. In the forged weapons and equipment, as long as a very small amount of rare magic metals are added, it is enough to make the performance of magic weapons achieve a qualitative improvement. In addition to forging, these rare magic metals are also widely used in various aspects such as magic patterns, magic jewelry, and alchemy circles. With such an important mineral deposit, how could Lin Li give it up so easily.
However, in the process of mining rare magical metals, the environment of the swamp will inevitably change, and gradually become less conducive to the growth of serum grass, which is something that the Blood Moon will not want to see. In this way, it is obviously very difficult to reconcile the contradictions, and the result of the negotiations will naturally end in failure.
In the period before the Ash Warlock came forward, the various forces were constantly in contact with each other, and in addition to the problems between the Tower of Dusk and the Big Three, the contradictions between the various forces also needed to be resolved at this time. In fact, this time is to give them face-to-face discussion to solve the problem, and the role of the Ash Warlock is not a mediator, but the ultimate referee. Therefore, all forces have a consensus, no matter how big the problem is, it is best to reach an agreement with each other before the Ash Warlock makes a judgment, otherwise it will really come to the time when the Ash Warlock makes a judgment, then I am afraid that no one will get any benefit.
A few days passed in a flash, and through this period of negotiations, all kinds of problems accumulated between various forces in the past three years were basically resolved. Only between the Tower of Dusk and the Big Three, it seems that there is a complete stalemate, on the one hand, Lin Li's refusal to give an inch, and on the other hand, the Big Three's appetite is amazing.
Outside the gray tower, two old servants of the Ash Warlock sat on the steps in front of the gate dozing off, and the leaders of the various forces gathered in the open space in front of the tower, waiting for the Ash Warlock to appear. Up to this point, no one had invited anyone into the tower, but everyone was not in the slightest bit unhappy, and the acquaintances continued to talk quietly with each other as if they were attending an open-air banquet.
"President Ferrey, the time for the Ash Warlock to make the final judgment is approaching, and I hope you'll give it some thought. You know, if there is no life, all persistence will become nothing. "The Mogati president of the Blood Moon Society came to Lin Li's side, wanting to use the pressure brought by the final referee at this time to force Lin Li to agree to his request.
After all, the swamp mining area is also very attractive to other forces, and if the final judgment is made by the Ash Warlock, Mogadi does not dare to guarantee that the swamp mining area will definitely fall into his hands. Therefore, it is better to transfer that piece of land in advance by the Tower of Twilight, so that no matter how the Ash Warlock finally decides, the Blood Moon Society has already achieved its goal.
Before Lin Li could speak, a magician with white hair came from the side, and said in a rather smug tone: "President Mogadi, I'm really sorry, I think that swamp and the Tower of Dusk have no right to transfer it to you. That swamp originally belonged to the Thunder Mercenary Regiment, and the Thunder Mercenary Regiment was established with the support of our Dida family, and the contract of subordination is in my hands. Although the Thunder Mercenary Group was brutally exterminated by the Tower of Dusk, it stands to reason that the swamp should also belong to the Dida family. ”
Seeing that it was Lipton, the elder of the Dida family who had just arrived in Grand Town to replace Charles, Mogadi's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Lipton, do you mean these words by the Mithril Alliance?" ”
"Don't get me wrong, President Mogadi, although our Dida family is a member of the Mithril Alliance, there is no need for the Blood Moon Society and us to cooperate." Lipton lowered his voice and said meaningfully.
Since the death of the previous patriarch, the current situation of the Dida family is really not good at all, and the previous Charles and the members of the mage group have been deposed, which can be said to be even worse. Although the five families of the Mithril Alliance have been very close for thousands of years, it is based on the balance of power. Now, the Dida family, which has been hit hard, has already been left behind by the other four families, and I am afraid that like the seven families thousands of years ago, it is not far from the day when it will be divided by these four families.
So, after Charles and the others were sent back to the family, Lipton and several other elders decided to find an ally outside the Mithril Alliance after a short discussion. In the entire Light Wind Plains, the only ones who can fight against the Mithril Alliance are the Blood Moon Society and the Caesar family, and the bloodline mixing technology that the Blood Moon Society is studying can also be used to improve the strength of the Dida family.
As for the matter of the Thunder Mercenary Group, Lipton is not making it up, but the Thunder Mercenary Group is just a small mercenary group of a few hundred people, and it is not directly subordinate to the Dida family, but it is only related to two subordinate forces. Of course, if that piece of land really belonged to the Thunder Mercenary Regiment, Lipton's statement was not wrong to some extent.
However, hearing the conversation between Lipton and Mogadi, Lin Li couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, it's really unfortunate that the ownership of that piece of land was transferred to the Tower of Dusk by the Temple of Light. As for the Thunder Mercenary Regiment, it was just that they occupied that piece of land without the permission of the Temple of Light. ”
"Temple of Light? When did the Temple of Light reach out to the Plains of Light Wind, it was really unheard of. Lipton knew that Charles and the others were destroyed in Lin Li's hands, so he was naturally not angry at this time.
"What's so strange about this, at the end of the Dark Ages, the Temple of Light already had clergy who came to the Plains of Light Breeze to preach, and bought a lot of land. Although the mission did not go well, the deeds of the land were brought back to the Temple of Light. I think you'd better check your territory when you go back, and maybe one day Ferre will take the contract to take back the land. Hoffman narrowed his eyes and proved his statement in a serious way.
As long as it wasn't a business negotiation, no one would doubt Hoffman's words, and even more so that this history was no secret in the Breezy Plains. Hoffman's words immediately made Lipton and Mogadi speechless, and at the same time, the relationship between the Tower of Dusk and the Temple of Light also made them a little surprised.
What kind of existence is the Temple of Light, it is one of the most powerful forces that truly stands at the peak of the Anriel world, and all the forces in the entire Light Wind Plain may not be able to compete with the Temple of Light. As for the Tower of Dusk, it has only been established for three years, and it has already made such great achievements, is it just relying on the personal ability of that young leader, it is difficult to say whether there is any help from the Temple of Light behind this. At least, if it is connected to the Temple of Light, the miracles created after the establishment of the Tower of Dusk do not seem to be so exaggerated.
While being surprised, Lipton and Mogadi, as well as some people around them, couldn't help but think of a rumor not long ago. The three bands of thieves who robbed the caravan of the Tower of Dusk were purified by a team of holy knights in half a day, and the three legendary-level leaders did not escape the judgment of the Holy Light.
The Holy Knights, the Praetorian Guard directly under the Pope of Light, would actually leave the Holy Mountain of Light for a Tower of Dusk? When they first got the news, almost no one believed that even the eyes of those various forces could not accept the fact that they had seen the trial of the three major thieves by the Holy Knights with their own eyes.
But now, the Temple of Light has actually transferred the land deed to the Tower of Dusk, which is probably more than just an ordinary business relationship. The value of the swamp mining area alone was staggering, and according to Hoffman's words, it wasn't just this piece of land that the Temple of Light transferred to the Tower of Dusk. Everyone did not doubt the authenticity of what Hoffman said, because the transfer of the contract is also one of the businesses of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, and it does not mean that the contract is handed over to someone and it is finished.
Suddenly, everyone felt their hearts sink, as if the sky was pressed down all of a sudden, and the weight made it a little difficult for people to breathe. The moment this feeling came, the scene fell silent, and everyone turned in the direction of the tower, and their eyes were all focused on the tower's gate. Once every three years, this feeling is simply deep in the bone marrow for everyone.
Sure enough, under the gaze of everyone, an old and thin figure in a black robe, who looked a little faltering, slowly walked out of the gate of the tower. However, none of the people present dared to show a trace of contempt on their faces, but all of them were full of respect.
Is this the Ash Warlock? Lin Li stared at the black-robed old man who walked out of the tower, and he couldn't even connect the figure in front of him with the legendary incomparably domineering Ash Warlock. I saw that the old man's beard was white, his sunken face was full of deep wrinkles, and there were obvious old age spots, and his loose eyelids drooped as if he couldn't open his eyes, and he looked much older than those old people who were dying.
What surprised Lin Li even more was that what he felt from this old man was not a surging magic fluctuation, but an incomparably thick and lifeless aura, as if the old man in front of him had or was about to die. But Lin Li clearly knew that this old man was very different from the undead creatures, and in that heavy and depressing breath, there was no strong rancid stench unique to undead creatures, but it was very pure, but people didn't feel a trace of vitality, just like a withered tree. This reminded Lin Li that the eternal tree species that had died in his hands had no life, but it was not decaying.
Seeing the Ash Warlock walk out of the tower, everyone immediately rushed to the front of the steps, no matter how beautiful the big man was outside, at this time, their faces were full of respect and even a little flattery, and they rushed to greet the Ash Warlock. The four patriarchs of the Mithril Alliance, led by Joseph, the dragonman Mogadi of the Blood Moon Society, and Klaus, the patriarch of the Caesar family, these characters who can make the Plains of Light Wind tremble three times by stomping their feet, without exception, all stepped forward to say hello with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes. Seeing that a group of people were rushing over to say hello, Lin Li didn't immediately follow to join in the fun, what difference does it make if he says hello a little later or earlier.
Roland, the Ash Warlock, stood on the steps with his staff on his staff, only occasionally nodding slightly in response to everyone's greetings. Looking at the two old servants beside him, they didn't even open their eyes, as if they were still dozing off standing there, and occasionally muttered a few words in their mouths, as if complaining about people's noise.
After greeting the Ash Warlock, the people all retreated to stand on both sides of the stairs as they had done before, and as the number of greetings gradually decreased, the chaotic scene gradually returned to order, and finally revealed the forest standing not far away. And just as Lin Li was about to step forward to say hello, the Ash Warlock was the first to speak, squinting at Lin Li, and said, "Little guy, I heard that you did a good job in Doland. ”
"Hello, respected Master Roland, you are too awarded, I am just lucky." Lin Li said modestly.
Lin Li didn't feel anything special, but the big people around him set off turbulent waves in their hearts one by one. The invitation of the Ash Warlock is once every three years, and the least of the people present have participated in dozens of times, such as the Mogadi of the Blood Moon Society, and even hundreds of times, but no one has ever heard the Ash Warlock praise anyone. Not to mention compliments, over the years of countless gatherings, the Ash Warlock didn't even say a word to anyone, except during the final judgment.
Everyone knew very well in their hearts that although they were the leaders of the top forces and the powerful legendary powerhouses, they were still just small ants in the eyes of the Ash Warlock. The Ash Warlock is a god who stands above the Plains of Light Wind and looks down on all beings in the Plains of Light Wind. And now this god has given a comment to an ant, and this mole ant is what his own group of ants wants to get rid of as soon as possible...... They had to guess what the Ember Warlock meant by this, whether it was a compliment or sarcasm, or just a whim! Because of this sentence, countless guesses were born in everyone's hearts, and everyone's faces kept changing color with the guesses in their hearts.
And among all the people under the steps, except for Lin Li's expression was still normal, that is, Hoffman's face of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce did not change much. Of course, Hoffman was also taken aback by the words of the Ash Warlock, but after the shock, he was more happy for the Grove and the Tower of Dusk.
