Chapter 963: Who's in charge
Now, not to mention that there is only one broken and incomplete blueprint, even if there is a truly complete and detailed design.
Hoffman took the page and looked at the passage that Lin Li pointed out, where Brehill mentioned that a shipment had just arrived from Nordasil, and that Nordashir was the capital of the High Elves at the time, where the Tree of Eternity grew. Later, Brehill also said that the batch of legendary magic crystals in the cargo was of good quality, and it was very suitable for being used as a source of magic for any magic weapon.
What kind of magic weapon it was, the handwriting on it was so blurry that it was unrecognizable. However, the mere use of the Legendary Crystal as a source of magic is enough to show that this magical weapon is absolutely amazingly powerful.
In today's Anriel world, if you want to talk about powerful magic weapons, I am afraid that many people will immediately think of the magic crystal cannon made by the dwarf kingdom. This kind of magic weapon that can be bombarded with pure magic power after a high degree of compression is just a fifteenth-level magic crystal, but the power it exerts is even the legendary powerhouse dare not despise.
"Brehill, what the hell are you doing here!" Hoffman never imagined that things would come to this point, and that a mausoleum would raise so many questions. If possible, he would rather not get this clue himself, and would rather never know about the existence of this mausoleum. But now, let him withdraw, and he is really a little reluctant, the mausoleum is no longer a simple mausoleum, God knows what is buried here.
After Elvis took out the pages, he leaned back in his chair leisurely, his eyelids slightly closed, hiding the cloudy white eyes. It wasn't until Lin Li and Hoffman had discussed it that he rolled his eyelids and said lightly: "President Hoffman, President Ferry, after reading this, do you think there is a possibility of cooperation between us?" ”
Lin Li looked at the pages on the table, and it was certain that the contents of these pages were not only not the whole of the diary, but also probably not the whole of this ruin. The other party is not a fool, not to mention that the cooperation is not negotiated now, even if the cooperation is really started, it will definitely not throw all the chips out, and eighty percent still has some more critical information in his hands.
Sanctuary-level frost dragon! Lin Li couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of this, if this was not done well, it would be a group annihilation, even if he could take down the Frost Dragon in the end, the loss would definitely be unbearable.
Hoffman was also frowning at this time, his fingers like small mallets kept tapping on the table, and although his eyes were looking at the table, his mind was obviously not on those pages.
After a while, Hoffman and Lin Li glanced at each other, turned to Elvis and said, "Master Elvis, it seems that this mausoleum is indeed not simple, and it is difficult for any of our exploration teams to gain anything from it. So well, let's talk about cooperation. ”
"Very well, I believe it was a very wise decision," Elvis said with a smile on his face.
However, although Elvis has a high prestige in the Mithril Alliance, he is not the current leader after all, so the specific cooperation between the two teams still needs to be discussed face-to-face by the senior management of both sides.
After sending Elvis away, Hoffman and Lin Li immediately gathered the high-level leaders of the two families, and the few pieces of paper that Elvis had generously left behind were circulated in the hands of everyone. Not to mention the others, even Conneris, who claims to know everything, couldn't help but gasp after seeing it. As for Angelano, she was so frightened that she shouted that she wanted to go back, saying that she didn't want to face the terrifying frost dragon.
Regarding cooperation, the people of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce have no problem, after all, they do not have any grudges with the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family. And everyone on the side of the Tower of Twilight can't help but be a little worried, no one knows how much information the Mithril Alliance has, in case there are any other thoughts, the Tower of Twilight will be a little passive.
Lin Li naturally knew this very well in his heart, but since he agreed to cooperate with the other party, he was confident to deal with the secret calculations from the other party. How can it be said that he also has grandmaster-level attainments in inscription alchemy, etc., and he has hole cards in his hand that the other party does not know.
In any case, this cooperation between the two sides is imperative, and after reading those few pages of the diary, no one dares to say that they can complete the exploration of this mausoleum on their own. Even if Lin Li had so many hole cards and had the experience of exploring the Sky City and the Mausoleum of Osric, he would not dare to take such a big risk.
The simplest, not to mention the traps in the mausoleum, not to mention the various grave guards, just the possible existence of the Sanctuary-level frost dragon is not something that any exploration team can fight alone. And if the two exploration teams cooperate, the number of legendary powerhouses will reach more than thirty, and there will be six or seven hundred elites of various professions above the fifteenth level, such strength may be enough to be qualified to fight the frost dragon.
Since it is a cooperation, the two exploration teams naturally can no longer be as far away as they are now, guarding each other from a distance. Soon, the two teams let down their guard and came together, and the top brass of both sides met again, this time the atmosphere was much more relaxed, at least not as tense as it had been at the beginning.
In the large tent specially set up, the high-level leaders of the four top forces sat opposite each other, which was also an unprecedented cooperation in the entire Light Wind Plain. After some hypocritical politeness, the conversation finally turned to the point, discussing how to work together to explore Brehill's mausoleum.
"Before we do, though, I think there's one more thing we need to settle down on, and that's who will be in charge of the actions of the entire team once our two exploration teams merge. If this issue is not discussed clearly, after entering the mausoleum, the two teams will do their own things regardless of priority, and I am afraid that any cooperation will be just empty talk. "At the beginning of the conversation, Joseph of the Mithril Alliance raised a controversial issue.
Joseph's words were not unreasonable, and now the two sides were going to cooperate in exploring the tomb of Prince Brehill, so the whole operation had to be led by a leader. Otherwise, no one can command anyone when they encounter problems, which can only cause chaos in exploration operations, and it is better to explore alone It is more convenient and safe.
This problem was not actually a problem originally, for example, in the exploration team of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Dusk, Lin Li trusted Hoffman, so the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce was considered to be the dominant one in the team. In the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family, the Mithril Alliance is stronger, so the Mithril Alliance has a dominant position.
However, who knows that whoever is able to dominate the team will be able to get more benefits. Moreover, if the relationship between the four major forces of the two exploration teams is good, it will be forgotten, but there is an inextricable grudge between the Mithril Alliance and the Tower of Dusk, and no one dares to guarantee that the other party will not play shady tricks against themselves behind their backs after taking the dominant position.
"I don't think there is any need to discuss this issue, Brehill's diary was discovered by our Mithril Alliance, and this cooperation was also proposed by us, so naturally it should be our Mithril Alliance as the leading party in the action." Although Charles was removed from the position of patriarch of the Dida family, he also represented the Dida family in this exploration operation, and was also the grandson of the patriarch of the Klaus family of the Caesar family, so naturally he also had a seat in the meeting at this time.
Although he had been warned by Klaus not to fight the Tower of Twilight before the time came, Charles didn't think that the current situation could be regarded as a clear opposition to the other party, and it was just a common discussion to compete for the dominance of the team. Anyway, whether it is public or private, he really doesn't want to see his enemy become the leader of the team.
After hearing Charles's words, Joseph had a smile on his face, not appreciating what Charles said, but being satisfied that Charles had jumped out at this time. The current grudge between the Mithril Alliance and the Tower of Dusk is difficult to resolve, but the Caesar family is no longer a member of the Mithril Alliance, and the relationship with the Tower of Dusk has not yet reached such a bad level, which is not something Joseph wants to see.
Therefore, what Joseph wants to see most is that Charles jumps out and openly becomes an enemy of the Tower of Twilight, and it is best that the relationship between the two continues to deteriorate to the point of irreconcilability, then Klaus of the Caesar family, as Charles's grandfather, will naturally stand on his side more firmly.
And Klaus, the patriarch of the Caesar family, changed his face slightly after hearing Charles's words, and secretly hated that he should not find a way to let Charles participate in this operation on behalf of the Dida family. Originally, Klaus put pressure on the Dida family to let Charles participate in the exploration as a representative of the Dida family, hoping that through the success of this exploration, Charles would return to the position of the patriarch of the Dida family. However, it seems that he is overestimating Charles in this idea, and just because he has a high talent for magic does not mean that he will have a brilliant mind.
After Charles's words, Joseph was laughing, Lin Li and Hoffman were also laughing, but with disdain in their smiles, they said very simply after laughing: "The Mithril Alliance is the leader? Yes! But we'll bother you. "The implication is that if you want to be the leader of the team, then do it yourself, and we won't play with you.
Lin Li and Hoffman said that if they changed their faces, they would change their faces, which made everyone on the side of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family, who were still agreeing with Charles's words, couldn't help but show stunned expressions. The discussion of this cooperation has just begun, and nothing has been discussed yet, and it is directly because of a different opinion to brush off the sleeves, which is what kind of discussion?
Lin Li and Hoffman didn't just talk about it, they stood up directly after they finished speaking, and the high-level leaders of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Dusk also stood up with each other, and a group of people were about to leave the tent.
At this time, the people of the Mithril Alliance and the Caesar family were still a little unable to react, but Elvis reacted quickly enough, and quickly stood up and said: "President Hoffman, President Ferry, please wait a minute, if there are any different opinions, you can sit down and talk slowly." ”
Lin Li turned around and said coldly: "I don't think there's anything to talk about, to be honest, I'm not at ease with the Mithril Alliance." If you want to cooperate, you can, but it can only be our side that leads the exploration action, otherwise there is no need to talk about everything in the future. ”
Lin Li This is not to scare the other party, the Mithril Alliance has targeted the Tower of Dusk several times, if they are allowed to become the leader of the exploration operation, will the Tower of Dusk still have a good life. No matter how huge the treasure is in Prince Bresil's mausoleum, if he can't even guarantee his own safety, then he might as well go back to his hometown.
"Is President Ferrey doubting our character?" One of the patriarchs of the Mithril Alliance stood up and said dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry, but I'm just doubting your personality." Lin Li said disapprerovingly. This sentence, like a stone thrown into the water, immediately caused a commotion in the tent.
"Shut up!" Elvis deserves to be the most prestigious person in the Mithril Alliance, and a roar suddenly quieted everyone, and then turned to Joseph and said: "Joseph, you are the leader of the Alliance, I shouldn't have said anything more, but in this matter, I hope you can think carefully about whether you can make some concessions appropriately." ”
"Master Elvis has always been our most respected elder, and your wisdom is our most precious treasure," Joseph saluted Elvis with a respectful face, then turned to Hoffman and Lin Li and said, "Master Ferry, I must admit that the contradictions between us are indeed not easy to resolve, but just as you are not at ease with us, we also cannot trust our safety in your hands. However, we can still believe in President Hoffman, so I suggest that President Hoffman take the lead in this exploration, and I don't know if you agree. ”
Joseph deserves to be the leader of the Mithril Alliance, and first put the responsibility of relinquishing his dominant position on Elvis, and he does not have to bear the dissatisfaction of the other members of the Mithril Alliance. Then he used the suggestion that Hoffman be the leader of the action, and slightly provoked the relationship between the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Dusk, although it may not be shown now, but maybe it will play an unexpected role at the most critical time.
Hearing Joseph's words, even Hoffman couldn't help but secretly curse for being cunning. However, the relationship between the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Dusk is impossible for outsiders to understand, and it is so easy to provoke. And Hoffman's emphasis on Lin Li is not something that the calculating Joseph can imagine. With the relationship between the Glitter Gold Chamber of Commerce and the Tower of Dusk, the Glitter Chamber of Commerce can dominate the exploration action, which is actually no different from the Tower of Twilight being dominant.
