Bobo Bo Vicki on the side was also doubtful and turned to look at Richard. He said nothing, but asked the same question in his heart: "Is this true?"
His friend Mike suddenly disappeared, and he was sure it was related to the Society of Truth. As for one of Richard's partners being knocked unconscious by the Truth Society, he really couldn't guarantee that. After all, he had never seen Richard's unconscious partner, so it was possible that he was making it up.
But then again, Richard was indeed merciless in his attacks on the people of the Truth Society. Even if the Truth Society did not cause Richard's companions to fall into coma, there should still be other hatred. After all, Richard can't just try to sneak into the Truth Society out of pure curiosity or research purposes, right
Richard did not answer the black-faced old man's words, nor did he explain his doubts to Bobo Bo Vicki. He just carefully felt the temperature changes of the small accessories under the clothes on his chest.
As he said what he just said, the part where the trinket faced the old man suddenly became hot. According to previous tests, it is basically certain that this is because what he said made the old man feel good.
In this way, we can basically confirm that the old man's identity is not disguised.
Taking a deep breath, Richard looked at the black-faced old man and said, "Actually... it doesn't matter whether what I say is true or false, but I can guarantee one thing. Now our cooperation can really proceed."
"Huh?" The black-faced old man frowned slightly, then he reacted and looked at Richard and said, "So, you were still just testing me just now?"
"In our cooperation, I am at a disadvantage, so I have to use some small tricks that are not on the table to ensure that I will not fall into the trap. I think, as a big shot from the north, you will understand." Richard said to the old man.
The old man chuckled: "I'm not a big shot, but it's understandable. At most, I sigh - maybe I underestimated you. Originally, I just regarded you as someone who could barely become a chess piece, but now it seems , some surprises.”
"Isn't this a good thing?" Richard asked.
"It is indeed a good thing." The black-faced old man did not deny it, "But having said that, besides sighing, I also have some doubts, that is, how can you confirm that I did not lie to you through a few words? In the words, I did not reveal How much information? The changes in my expression cannot be completely used as a basis for judgment. After all, I can disguise it with a little training."
"Is this it?" Richard spoke out, gently pressed the "Feather of Judgment" under the clothes on his chest, and said slowly, "Of course I have my own methods. Of course, in my opinion, this is really just something that cannot be done. I won’t tell you the methods on the table.”
"That's up to you." The black-faced old man said, "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. After all, our focus is cooperation. Next, let's discuss the content of the cooperation in detail."
"Okay." Richard said, looking at the old man and asking, "You said before that you wanted me to be your insider and find out information about the Truth Society for you. This can be regarded as my unilateral contribution. In this regard, I want to Clearly, what good can I do?”
"What benefits do you want?" the old man asked.
Richard raised his eyebrows: "Can I mention it casually?"
"Of course." The old man waved his hand very generously, and then said after a slight pause, "But I believe that you are a smart person and know what kind of conditions are more appropriate."
"Okay." Richard pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"First of all, I want to give myself and the person next to me a disguised identity. Although, in order to sneak into the Truth Society without being suspected, the two of us have made some preparations and carried out some disguises. Even if the Truth Society An investigation will not reveal anything wrong in a short period of time. But over time, if the truth investigation is too thorough, some flaws will still be revealed and need to be repaired.
I think that since you have planned to let two of us be insiders, you must have done similar things before and are familiar with the process. You must also be prepared for the identities you use to disguise yourself. Well, I'm not going to waste any more energy on fixing the flaws that may be exposed. With your help, it will save a lot of trouble. "
"In addition, I may encounter some troubles in future cooperation, and I will ask you for some support. This support includes but is not limited to spell scrolls, spell materials, confidential information, and precious materials. I hope you can try your best. supply."
"Also, I'm not sure how long I can lurk in the Truth Society, but I think there is a high possibility that I will eventually fall out with the other party, either actively or passively. At that time, I will be well prepared to deal with it. The other party has taken revenge, but it would be better if you could help me. Having said that, since you want to arrange for us to join the Truth Society, you are probably also hostile to the Truth Society. It will be beneficial and harmless to you if you help me. "
After finishing speaking, Richard paused, then looked at the black-faced old man and asked: "Okay, these are my conditions for the time being, what do you think?"
"Very reasonable." The black-faced old man commented.
"Then how many promises are you going to make?" Richard asked.
"All of them." The black-faced old man replied.
"All?" Richard raised his eyebrows, looked into the black-faced old man's eyes and asked for confirmation, "Are you serious? There is nothing to modify?"
"Why do you need to modify it? Your conditions are indeed very reasonable." The black-faced old man said, slowly speaking, "The first one is to provide you with a disguised identity to ensure that you can lurk safely for a long time. I will be the beneficiary. , there is no reason not to do it. Moreover, you guessed it right, I do have preparations for the disguised identity. Instead of wasting it, it is better to use it now to the two of you and put it into effect in time.
As for the second and third items, it doesn’t matter if I promise you, because whether it’s the support in the second item or the help in the third item, it’s all in the future. I believe that you must have obtained some information while lurking at that time. Based on the information you provided, I will give you an equal amount of help. This can be considered an exchange of equal value and a fair transaction. "
"It seems that you are smarter than I thought." After hearing this, Richard already had an understanding of the old man. The other party is obviously very confident and is not prepared to control everything. It is more about giving him enough freedom to play, and believes that this will lead to better results.
He is happy to see this happen, because in this case, he and the old man will have a real cooperative relationship, rather than a nominal cooperation and an actual order.
With the current approach, he would really consider long-term cooperation with the old man in the Truth Society. Otherwise, he will only temporarily reach a cooperative relationship with the old man. After he has found out enough information from the old man and received enough help from the old man, he will then kick him away, or even simpler - drive the truth to confront the old man. Make profit in the middle.
Thinking of this, Richard looked at the old man and said seriously: "It seems that our next cooperation will be very pleasant."
"Actually, this is also the result I want." The black-faced old man responded with a smile.
