Facing the accusation from the black shadow, the man in gray robe was a little speechless. He took a breath and said: "As for this matter... Well, I must admit that we made some mistakes, but the main reason for the mistakes is not ourselves, but The alliance commander, Sauron, has undergone some unplanned changes. He and the command advisor, not knowing what situation they considered, suddenly decided to stop the attack and refused to listen to anyone's advice. So what can be done?"
"No way, have they noticed your actions?" Black Shadow heard the guess.
"Impossible." The gray-robed man denied it with certainty. "Our actions are absolutely confidential and cannot be known to the other party. There must be some secret in it."
"Then we can't keep it secret forever, right?" Heiying said, his tone was not good, "The current war situation is not very beneficial to us, Sika. If we cannot break the situation, we will most likely lose."
"Don't worry, things will change." The man in gray robe said.
"Don't just say nice things, give me a specific time!" Heiying didn't show off, and said, "We can't wait too long. There are already many people here who feel that cooperating with you is a mistake. If it's a short time If there is no breakthrough inside, we may have to abandon you and act alone."
"You want to act alone?" After hearing the words, the man in gray robe flickered his eyes and stared at the black shadow with some evil eyes.
The shadow was not afraid. He took a deep breath and said with a tough attitude: "Yes, we have to act alone because we want to live! If there is no hope of survival with this method now, then we will naturally have to change our way of life. . We have already lost so many people, even General Lundstaeder died, and the general’s head was given to you. If we still lose in the end, we will never accept it.
In the war, Sika is currently the weak side, but as the country with the oldest heritage on the continent, there are still some people in this country who are bloody, there are still some people who are not afraid of death, and there are still some people who want to use all means Let this country continue! Perhaps, this country will eventually perish, but it will never be allowed to perish in the hands of our generation. Do you understand? ! "
After hearing this, the man in gray robe was silent for a few seconds, and then said slowly: "In that case, okay, I'll give you a specific time."
Stretching out his hand and raising his index and middle fingers, the man in gray robe said: "In two days, at most two days, we will give you an explanation. By then, we will make it clear what the purpose of the alliance is. By then, we will definitely help you win this A war.”
"Will you suddenly be so kind?" Heiying was not grateful. His first reaction was to be wary, "Will you suddenly work so hard for us?"
The man in gray robe said coldly: "Of course we are not so kind, and we cannot suddenly work hard for you. There will be a lot of sacrifices in the next two days of operations, so you must also send people to assist us. This is up to you. Let’s do it together.”
"Sure enough." The black shadow showed an expression of "I knew it was like this."
"What's your answer?" the man in gray robe asked.
Black Shadow thought for a while and then spoke: "Our answer is..."
…
late at night.
Deep underground, in an empty hall, there are many bronze lamp holders, swaying flames, and a solemn atmosphere.
This is the headquarters of the Truth Society.
With a "squeak" sound, a small door opened on the stone wall on one side of the hall. Golov, a member of the Truth Society who was as fat as a pumpkin, walked in and walked towards the center of the hall.
There was a bone table there, and behind the bone table there was a bone chair. Gray Mist, the ring manager of the Truth Society, was sitting on it, reviewing numerous documents.
Walking not far from the bone table, Golov saluted respectfully and reported: "Sir, the chess piece we installed has sent back a message. He wants to organize assistance for him and help him figure out some secrets of the alliance. He..."
"I already know about this." Haiwu put down the document in his hand and interrupted Golov.
Golov was stunned and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you mean... promise him, or reject him?"
"Promise him." Hui Wu said, "The recent trends in the alliance have made me very confused. Finding out their secrets can not only help Sika, but also help us. But... After all, the manpower in the organization is not as sufficient as before. Yes, so members should be careful when taking action."
"Yes, I will tell them." Golov said, "Actually, the chess piece means the same thing. In order to reduce our losses, he has asked Sika to send personnel to assist us."
"That's good, let's do it." Hui Wu nodded and praised, then waved his hand.
"Yes." Golov did not dare to be verbose, quickly stepped back and left the hall.
…
Fast forward to the next day.
Dusk passes and night comes.
When the sky was covered with black veil, Bibi happily tied up her white napkin in the restaurant, and then looked expectantly at the dining table in front of her, which was filled with various containers.
The closest row is a small plate, which contains different powders, some are salt granules, some are sugar cubes, some are flour, and some are powder made from dried vegetables...
Next to it, there are many clay pots, which contain liquids, including wine, beer, water, fruit vinegar, herring juice...
At the far end, there are various kinds of bread, including coarse black bread, exquisite white bread, pungent ginger bread, meat bread with a hollow inside...
Bibi looked at the full dining table and couldn't help but rub her hands. Then she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and reached out to pick up a long stick of black bread. She grabbed the black bread and waved it twice in the air, making a cracking sound. Then she thought about it and dipped it into the jar filled with water.
Even after the water stuck to the surface, the black bread was still hard. It took Bibi a lot of effort to bite the bread into pieces, chew it a few times and swallow it. He tilted his head and felt it carefully for a while, then shook his head and gave a not-so-good evaluation.
"Well, it tastes the same as wet black bread. Let's try something else." Bibi said as she took a bite of the bread and dipped it into the small plate with salt grains.
Dip several spoonfuls of salt grains into the bread, put it in your mouth, bite it down with a "click", chew it and swallow it.
"Well, it feels a little better this time. It has a taste of the ocean, but it's just a little salty. It's also too rigid and has no changes. If there are changes, it should be better..." Bibi said, looking around the table with the bread. On the container, pick the sauce for next time.
After a few seconds, her eyes fell on the jar containing herring juice, and her expression became eager to try.
