Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Crow's Choice
Arno's words froze Evie and Jacob in place, and they didn't speak for a long time, and Arno didn't hurry, standing there quietly, letting them slowly come back to their senses.
"Is what you said true?" asked Jacob, who was the first to come back to his senses, excitedly grabbing Arno's arm.
Arno reached out and pulled Jacob's hand away from his arm, straightened the wrinkled sleeve on his arm, and said slowly, "Of course it's true, I managed to find the base camp of the Hungry Wolf Party this evening, and then sneaked in and quietly did some small damage. ”
Evie frowned, "Oh, I wonder what kind of little damage you've done?"
Arno smiled brightly at Evie, "It's nothing, it's just that I found the armory in the Hungry Wolf Party base camp, and then poured a little water in their powder kegs and bullet boxes, and then ran into their kitchen before leaving, and put some chemicals in their drinking water, the kind of chemicals that can cause diarrhea." ”
Jacob looked at the composed, Jacob dumbfounded: "You...... I have to say, I'm going to have to rethink what you're capable of......"
Evie walked between Jacob and Arno, stopped Jacob's words, and continued: "I think my next words may be a little offensive to you, but please forgive me, from the side of the Rooks, I have to say. ”
Arno shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant look, "Miss Evie, please say, I don't think I'm going to be angry with a responsible leader. ”
Evie nodded: "Thank you for your understanding, then please tell me, not counting my friendship with Jacob, how can the Crows believe your words? After all, what you said is too surprising, it is difficult for us to believe that an ordinary person can do such a thing, do you think you can prove yourself with anything? If this offends you, I am willing to apologize to you for my words." ”
Arno's eyes showed appreciation: "I don't think you have offended me, but unfortunately, I don't think I have any way to prove that I did these things." ”
Evie frowned slightly: "There's no way to prove it, so how can the crows trust you? If it's just me and Jacob, it's okay, after all, we trust you very much, but we have to be responsible for the hundreds of crows in the crows......"
Arno looked back at Alice on the roof of a house outside the window, then pressed his top hat and said to Evie, "I think what to do, this is your decision with Jacob, then please forgive me for having to leave first, I think the next time we meet, it will be the day you occupy the gypsy block, I will give you a big gift." ”
Jacob opened his mouth and was about to call out to Arno, but he didn't, because Evie was looking at him motionless with dangerous eyes, and Jacob sighed helplessly, and could only watch Arno roll over through the window and leave.
Evie walked quickly to the window, looking at the empty neighborhood outside the window, she frowned deeply: "Disappeared again...... What is the reason for him to do this......"
Jacob looked at his sister with an unhappy expression: "You forgot? ”
Evie covered her forehead and looked at Jacob with a headache: "Jacob, when will you be able to use your rusty brain?" From his service and speech and demeanor, it is obvious that the family he was born in is extraordinary, do you think that with Arno's family background and his skills, he will do so much for a mere nightingale?!"
Jacob clasped his nose: "Maybe Arno and the nightingale are true love?"
Evie gave Jacob a blank look, "Do you think Arno would believe in a nightingale's love like you did?" and...... Don't you think it's too coincidental that Arno showed up? You happened to be injured by the Hungry Wolves, and then they demanded that they couldn't kill you, they had to be caught alive, and then Arno suddenly appeared and saved you, and then he just needed us crows to take Gypsy Street, don't you think it's all too coincidental?"
Jacob squinted: "You mean ......"
Evie nodded, "I'm not sure, but I highly suspect that Arno is a fiction, and it is very likely that he is a person created by the Hungry Wolf Party in order to annihilate our crows in one fell swoop." ”
Jacob spread his hands helplessly, "Then what should we do?
Evie Ning shook her head: "No, let the crows gather in the base camp early tomorrow morning, although Arno is not credible, but we can't let go of this rare opportunity, what if what he said is true?"
Jacob rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "Then if you guessed correctly, this is a trap designed by the Hungry Wolf Party, so what will we do then?"
Evie had a confident smile on her face: "Don't worry, tomorrow I will take a few people to confirm whether Arno really did what he said, and when I confirm, I will send you a signal for you to attack, if it is fake, I will immediately lead people to retreat!"
Jacob had a dark look on his face, looked out the window at the dark sky, and muttered, "Arno...... Hopefully Evie is overthinking it, I don't want to fight a friend I just met......"

Alice looked at Arnold who had climbed to the top of the building, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Mentor, is the task completed?"
Arno reached out and patted Alice on the top of her head gently: "I don't know if this task is completed, I can only confirm it tomorrow." ”
Alice looked up at Arno, "Is something going on?"
Arno looked down at Alice's delicate face, and a doting smile appeared on his face: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the elder sister of the siblings doesn't trust me very much, and needs me to show proof that I have wreaked havoc in the Hungry Wolf Manor." ”
Alice frowned, "Then why don't you prove yourself?"
Arno shook his head helplessly: "How do you think I should prove myself? Assassinate a high-ranking person in the base camp of the Hungry Wolf Party and bring some parts of his body over? This will only make the Hungry Wolf Party vigilant, and they may even be aware of what I have done, in case they will do everything and lead the Crow Party over to annihilate it, then won't I do all these things in vain......
Alice nodded in agreement, "I think you're right, so what should we do next?"
Arno turned his head and looked at the window that belonged to Jacob's room, and said meaningfully to Alice, "I think the smart Yi will make the right choice......
