After hearing Cheyenne’s words, Lin Li didn’t look too tense, and still had a smile on his face. Of course, this wasn’t because only two people came from the Tower of Dusk so they weren’t scared that their people would be killed. Although only Lin Li and Norfeller came from the Tower of Dusk, it also wouldn’t be easy for them to escape from the combined forces of the Dark Blade and elves given the large number of Legendary powerhouses they had.

Lin Li wasn’t worried, because he knew that the Haiga Mountain Range was the legendary true forbidden zone. He looked at the worried Cheyenne, and said, “Don’t worry too much, Master Cheyenne. Even if they want to attack us, they won’t do it now. This is the Haiga Mountain Range. It’s a forbidden zone even for Legendary powerhouses. n.o.body can guarantee that they can come out alive. Hence, if they aren’t idiots, they won’t do anything to us before finding the treasure.”

After some contemplation, Cheyenne nodded, and replied, “Hopefully the temptation of the treasure can repress old grudges.”

As for what would happen after finding the treasure, n.o.body knew. Perhaps the Malfa Family would be unlucky, or perhaps it would be the elves and the Dark Blade. Both sides might even end up in stalemate.

Just like Lin Li had guessed, Cheyenne and Lin Li saw Borg coming over from afar when they were making arrangements for their campsite. Borg didn’t change his att.i.tude towards them because of the elves. He still put on a smile on his face like before and invited them to meet the elven leaders to discuss the ruins of the t.i.tans.

After coming to the central tent at the elves’ campsite again, Cheyenne and Lin Li walked in with Borg.

Although both of them were Legendary powerhouses, the elves in the tent didn’t take them seriously. After seeing the two of them come in with Borg, none of the elves stood up to welcome them or even say some words in greeting.

Lin Li wasn’t bothered by this at all, while Cheyenne knew why the elves behaved like that, so both of them didn’t care about the elves’ att.i.tude. Moreover, the elves indeed had the right to be so arrogant given their abilities.

After everyone was seated, Borg first introduced Cheyenne and Lin Li to the elves using the Elven Language. However, the elves were still very cold to them. After all, merely two Legendary-mages weren’t important enough to the elves.

Just as Borg prepared to introduce the elves to Lin Li and Cheyenne, one of the elves cut in. Although he spoke in the Elven Language, Cheyenne and Lin Li could roughly make out what he meant. He was telling Borg to talk about the matter directly and skip the introductions.

Borg looked at Cheyenne and Lin Li. With a bitter smile on his face, he explained to the two how he had met those elves.

Cheyenne and Lin Li looked at each other. With the current situation, both of them already had some ideas about this. As for why Borg was explaining it to the two of them here, evidently even the arrogant elves couldn’t underestimate the dangers in the Haiga Mountain Range. Thus, they wanted Borg to secure relations with the two of them first. After all, just as Lin Li had said, n.o.body could guarantee that they could return from the Haiga Mountain Range alive. It was always better to have more allies.

Cheyenne’s worry went down a little after hearing this. As for the elves’ intention to use the Malfa Family as the cannon fodder, it was too early to say that now. After all, how it was going to end all depended on each faction’s abilities.

It turned out that the Dark Blade had always been in contact with the Elven Kingdom, and they had told the Elven Kingdom about this mission. Although the Elven Kingdom wasn’t too concerned about the ruins of the t.i.tans, they had always wanted to find a long-lost sacred relic from this sacred mountain. Thus, the two parties struck a deal very soon.

“Cheyenne, our goal isn’t just the Immortal King’s treasure. The elves’ goal to find the lost sacred relic doesn’t contradict with our goal. Now, it’s better for all of us to cooperate to get into the Haiga Mountain Range successfully and find what we are looking for rather than work on our own. What do you think?” Borg strongly hoped for Cheyenne to agree. After all, he was very clear that despite their relations.h.i.+p, the elves wouldn’t help out at all if the Malfa Family were to strike.

By now, Cheyenne could see that the Dark Blade and the elves weren’t as close as what he had thought. Both parties were only using each other, and couldn’t even be considered allies. As such, the balance between the three collaborating factions wasn’t affected much. The Dark Blade would still be cautious of the alliance between the Malfa Family and the Tower of Dusk.

After figuring out all that, Cheyenne naturally wouldn’t let the treasure land in the hands of the Dark Blade just like that, so he didn’t object to the subsequent collaboration with the elves. Lin Li wouldn’t have any objections all the more. He even started thinking about what sacred relic the elves were looking for. If it was useful to him…
