Chapter 53 Cooperation

El lowered his head, and found that his hand had somehow pressed against the girl's slightly plump chest.

He thought about it carefully and realized that he had no motive to do so. Although she is already a woman who has rolled over the sheets with herself, touching her boobs is not a big deal. But now is obviously not the time to do such a thing, all his attention is on eavesdropping on the black history that Mr. Gawain has exposed, when did he make such a lewd move?

"What the hell is going on?" El asked, confused.

"Oh, are you talking about that?" Lorana stretched out two fingers to grab El's palm and threw it aside, tilting her head to look at El and asked, "Do you really not understand what happened?"

"Uh...... Why would I do something I shouldn't have done?" El hesitated, not realizing that he had been short-circuited before. In other words, if you've done it, you should do it. But the runes hidden in his body were faintly warning, making him detect something abnormal.

"You are the owner of this tavern, and I am the maid of this tavern, and I am not only beautiful but also have the same legs as you. Doesn't this happen naturally under this premise?" Lorana blinked, a meaningful smile on her face.

El couldn't help but pout, if it was as simple as she said, there would be a ghost. However, considering that if he wanted to investigate the reason, he would have to put up with the eldest lady's broken mouth, he still resisted the urge to continue asking questions.

At the other end of the tavern, the brandy in Gawain's hand had bottomed out.

"It all started with the prophecy made by the astrologer Merlin, 'The Apostle of Original Sin was born in the North, bringing endless heavenly punishment, and there will be no peace in the world...... Of course, secret troops like you, who have been out for a long time, must not know, so I will make a long story short-"

Gao Wen licked his lips unfinishedly, and his eyes became brighter than ever: "There was a division within the Society of Truth because of this prophecy, and finally a substantive split was formed. The Shadow Council has chosen to retreat, while the members of the Council of the Sages hold all the power on the surface. ”

My family has been loyal to the Truth Society for generations, and my father was a member of the Truth Society. Before Quezalas appeared. I have never heard of a split in the truth. General Hank said with great certainty. As the Supreme Commander of the Night's Watch, he had maintained some contact with the upper echelons of the Truth until then, and the logistical supply that the Night's Watch relied on for the cost of garrisoning the underground ruins was never interrupted. Until a few years ago, young people like Kevin were constantly joining in to replenish the Night's Watch.

So he couldn't understand why the Order of Truth would abandon the loyal elite of the Night's Watch.

"From the first day the Truth Society was established. The disciples of the Twelve Sages never agreed on a common opinion, if it were not for that. How is it possible for your troops to hold on to the underground ruins alone for thousands of years?, and as far as I know, the other hidden garrisons are not much different from yours. Gawain sneered.

"The disappearance of the Shadow Council was only a trigger, and the beginning of the real division began with the arrival of that woman. ”

"Women?"

"The apostle of original sin, from the Holy Sister Pandora of the Temple of the Moon in Northrend. She confirmed Merlin's prophecy to the council, and directly designated the object of the prophecy, which was St. Sister Mary Vienne of the Temple of Life. ”

"Wait a minute, I didn't get too much of it...... Holy nuns and apostles?What does this mean?" Kevin scratched his head and asked with a puzzled face, "Why is this woman so important?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't explain it to you in words you can understand. Perhaps due to the first time he drank, Gawain's tongue began to get a little knotted. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally couldn't hold it back, and finally I could only sigh and say: "In short, that woman is a madman who wants to destroy the world, and she has successfully controlled most of the council, almost all the councillors have begun to go crazy with her, and the more rational few have been pushed to the margins." ”

"Like you, the former Procurator of the Hall of Truth?" General Hank squinted at Gawain's annoyed expression, shook his head, and said, "After all, you're just a marginal figure who has been sidelined...... Will the truth go crazy en masse? Well, I want it to be true. But if you want to make those high-ranking big people go crazy collectively, there must be a reasonable reason, and you can't say it, so why should I believe you?"

"You can't understand how horrible Pandora is......" Gawain said.

"In fact, we can understand that there is a monster who calls himself Pandora. Destroyed the Sword Castle before us. Kevin said impatiently, "Even if she's a madman and rules the Truth Society, what does that have to do with us? ”

"Of course it is, and it's about each and every one of you. "Don't think you'll get away with hiding here, Pandora won't let go of any potential threat, and the snobs who fall under her skirt are doing their best to cleanse the whole truth society." Even if you kill a Quezalas, someone else will come to you. The only outcome that awaits you at that time is to be secretly executed!"

"Are you trying to encourage us to go to war with the Truth Society? Don't make a fuss, we are left with such a few people, and we don't have the capital to toss. There is wine today and drunk today, and it is a day to be able to live a day. Kevin shook his head unmoved.

"No, I mean -- cooperation. Gao Wen narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "The Truth Society has a history of thousands of years since its establishment, and it is not an existence that can be easily shaken by her as a madman and that group of snobs jumping up and down. I am one of the many factions that have been ostracized and suppressed have begun to secretly unite to resist pressure from above. If you can join in, then I can guarantee that I will avenge your unjust brother!"

"Revenge? Who to take revenge? Besides, even if you take revenge, you can't be resurrected after death, and I'm not interested in using my brother as cannon fodder for you. General Hank shook his head.

"How many of you are left?" Gawain asked further, not paying attention to General Hank's negative attitude.

"Including the disabled, there are only about 300 people, so there is no use value. General Hank sneered.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you can listen to my conditions. Gao Wen spread his hands and smiled confidently: "I can make the decision, and I will integrate you into the military sequence of the Thunder Fortress, and all the conditions of military logistics will be the same as that of the regular army." It's not too rich, but it's certainly much better than living in this camp. Also, if you want to keep the Night's Watch number. I can also make your own army, and at the same time select excellent sources of troops to replenish your troops. As long as you practice diligently, you will soon be able to restore the system. ”

Gawain's last sentence made General Hank fall into deep thought.

In this era of war, nothing is more trustworthy than the weapons in your hands and the comrades around you. The Night's Watch were once an elite force of faith, and when their faith collapsed, they once launched a suicidal assault on their enemies. Those true warriors chose to die on the battlefield. And those who survive are the walking dead who have lost their souls.

General Hank was not killed because he was the commander of the Night's Watch. As long as there are surviving brothers, he must take responsibility. On the way to escape, he had more than once the idea of entrusting these brothers to El, but in the end it was not possible.

He admits that El is a very good general, and that no one can do better than him at his age, but that doesn't mean he's optimistic about the future of this exile team. After all, they are just a group of defeated soldiers, a group of rabble, even if they have survived today and tomorrow. What about the day after tomorrow?

In contrast, Gawain's proposal made him more excited. If the Night's Watch can be reorganized, even if it is only to restore the establishment of a thousand people, it will be enough to deter one side of the abundant capital. At that time, even if you will tear your face with the truth, you can go away from home, and you can have a foothold wherever you go.

This is probably the best way out for the remaining Night's Watch warriors. But. Will they say yes?

General Hank looked at his lieutenant Kevin, this young man was very talented, and if there had been no accident at the beginning, he would most likely inherit his position more than ten years later. Now, however, his personality has become very radical, and he is not only a staunch opponent of the truth society. is even more obedient to Eryan.

From Kevin's eyes, General Hank could tell his answer.

"Mr. Gawain, it is undeniable that your proposal is attractive, but I still need to consult with my brothers before I can give you an answer. General Hank sighed, turned his head to Gawain and said, "How about this place at this time tomorrow?"

"Prudence is a virtue. I also know that words alone are not enough to win your trust, and this time tomorrow I will bring you evidence that will truly convince you. Gawain nodded, put down his glass, stood up and walked outside.

Seeing Gawain's figure disappear outside the door, the owner and customers in the background of the tavern breathed a sigh of relief.

The kobold placed the remaining flesh and bones on the table, and the god muttered a few incantations, and the bone stick cracked in half with a clatter. He narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the cracks in the bones, a strange smile on his face.

"There's no lie, but it's not telling the truth either...... kobold said, smacking his lips.

"Wait a minute, what did they just talk about, why didn't I hear anything clearly?" Delare, slamming his glass upside down on the table, turned his head with a puzzled look on his face, locking his suspicious gaze on Lorana's face.

It should be said that it is worthy of the demonic bloodline, and he is talented in pretending to be a ghost and deceiving and deceiving, just a moment of trance made De Laer aware of the abnormality, and at the same time found the source with intuition.

Among the people present, if there is anyone who can unconsciously manipulate others into the game, it is definitely this eldest lady.

"Curiosity kills cats, Mr. Delale. Lorana hugged the wooden tray and smiled as a standard commercialist: "Of course, if you want to know the truth, it's not impossible, but I don't know if you're ready to pay the corresponding price?"

"No, I don't want to know at all. De Laere said immediately. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
