After listening to Garcia's words, Gawain frowned and his expression became solemn: "The reason why the Pangbo family did not use the magic knights when they searched you. I guess it may be that the first few failures made them wary. I think It was news leaked from within the Magic Knights. However, they are still suspicious of the lower and middle levels, and have not yet suspected me and a few deputy commanders.
But no matter what, if this continues, one day it will be exposed. The longer the time goes, the greater the danger, and the Pangbo family will inevitably be on guard. It is best for our cooperation to act in advance. This will end the Pangbo family's rule of St. Louis City as soon as possible, which is a good thing for everyone. "
"But we are not ready, Gawain." The skinny old man Garcia sighed, "It is too hasty to act in advance. We cannot guarantee that we will have an overwhelming advantage during the action. Once the Pangbo family reacts, By winning over those wavering centrists, we will fail."
"Garcia, you are too conservative." Gawain shook his head and said with a hint of accusation in his tone, "Not every action has to wait until there is a 100% chance of success. Sometimes we have to take some risks. .
I know that those in the middle have a lot of variables, but I also believe that they know which side has a better future. If they choose the Pangbo family, they will be a dog regardless of victory or defeat. And by choosing us, then they can be human at least once. "
"Alas—" the skinny old man Garcia sighed again, glanced at Gawain, and knew that it would be difficult to convince him, so he said, "Let's go into the room and talk in detail."
"That's fine." Gawain nodded in agreement and said, "By the way, ask your men to compile a copy of the intelligence you have recently collected for me. I want to take a look."
"Okay." The skinny old man Garcia said, leading Gawain into a room next to the hall on the first floor.
…
More than half an hour later, the skinny old man Garcia took Gawain out of the same room and took Gawain to the exit of the stone building.
Garcia sighed longly, while Gawain frowned deeply. It was obvious that the two of them had something that they had not yet settled.
"I advise you to think carefully after you go back. You really can't act too hastily. Even if you have to advance, you must have a plan." Garcia's forehead showed wrinkles that formed the word "Chuan", with a serious look on his face. Said to Gawain.
Gawain glanced at Garcia, frowned deeper, and said in a deep voice: "I think it's you who should think about it carefully, Garcia. Have you forgotten how you failed in Simulang City before? It’s just that you are too cautious and too conservative. I admit that your caution has allowed you to avoid a lot of dangers, but sometimes you should let go appropriately. Don’t be cautious all the time, and don’t let caution become a rope that binds you.”
Garcia was silent, lowered his head and said no more.
After a long time, he opened the wooden door of the stone building and said to Gawain: "Let's discuss this issue next time we meet. I hope your mind will change by then."
"I also hope that your mind will change. Okay, let's go, there's no need to send him off." Gao Wen said, walked out of the door, quickly left the alley, and disappeared into the distance.
The skinny old man Garcia looked at the direction in which Gawain disappeared, shook his head, closed the wooden door, and turned back to the room on the first floor.
After entering the room, Garcia sat down at the table, flipped through the information on the table, and found that he couldn't read at all. He was still a little worried about Gawain's impulsive behavior.
He said to himself: "It never hurts to be careful, especially when it comes to St. Louis City. We really can't rush it."
After speaking, Garcia picked up the materials on the table, stood up, and prepared to put them on the bookshelf next to the wall.
As a result, the moment he stood up, his eyes accidentally glanced towards the opposite side of the table. His eyes suddenly widened, his hands trembled, and the materials he held fell to the ground with a "crash".
Garcia hurriedly bent down, quickly picked up the information, put it back on the table, and then looked at the seat opposite the table in shock.
There was a person sitting on the seat. Young face, calm expression, black clothes, hands casually placed on his legs, looking at him quietly, not knowing when he appeared...
"Grey... Lord Gray Crow, why did you come back suddenly?" Garcia asked trying to calm down. To be honest, the previous panic behavior was really inappropriate for a veteran intelligence officer like him. But Richard's sudden appearance was a bit unexpected - a big living person "grew" out of his seat so suddenly, how could he not be surprised
Richard glanced at Garcia and said, "Don't panic, I just suddenly thought that I forgot something in this room just now, so I rushed back to get it."
If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely ask what you have forgotten. But Garcia didn't. He blinked and said wisely: "In addition to taking things, sir, do you have anything else to do?"
"Well, you said that, I just want to ask." Richard said, pointing towards the door, "The person who left just now is Gawain, the orthodox leader of the magic knight of the Pangbo family, right?"
"Yes." Garcia nodded, not lying.
"Why did he get together with you?" Richard asked.
"This is a long story." Garcia said, "Gawain's background is a bit complicated and it is difficult to explain clearly in a short time. But one thing is certain. He is very dissatisfied with the rule of the Pangbo family and wants to change St. Louis. order in the city, so cooperate with us.”
"When will he take action?" Richard asked.
"Well..." Garcia hesitated, shook his head and said, "I'm not sure exactly."
"Isn't it just in the past few days?" Richard leaned forward slightly, looked at Garcia, and asked seriously.
Garcia said: "That won't happen."
"Are you sure?" Richard asked with confirmation.
Garcia moved his eyebrows, glanced at Richard's face, and asked cautiously: "Master Gray Crow, don't you have any dissatisfaction with Gawain?"
"That's not true." Richard shook his head. "I have no dissatisfaction with him, nor with his actions. However, I want to make sure that his actions will not conflict with some of my plans, resulting in Unexpected things happen.”
"That's it." Garcia breathed a sigh of relief.
Richard looked at Garcia and said: "You and I are in a cooperative relationship, and you and Gawain are also in a cooperative relationship. In a sense, we are all in the same camp. Therefore, I think it is necessary to communicate in time if there is any news. Yes, unnecessary misunderstandings and internal friction losses will be avoided.”
"Lord Gray Crow, I understand what you said." Garcia said, "If Gawain really takes action, we will definitely inform you."
"That's good." Richard nodded, "If he doesn't act in the past few days, that's for the best. If he acts in the past few days, it's okay. The key is to prepare me so that it won't disrupt me. plan of."
"I promise not to let accidents happen." Garcia promised again and again.
"Very good, I'm done." Richard said. He stood up and said goodbye, "See you when I have the chance."
With that said, he walked out of the door.
When Garcia got up and walked out of the door, ready to send someone off, he found that Richard had already disappeared.
After being stunned for a moment, Garcia looked around the hall to make sure that Richard had left. He couldn't help but touch his nose and said to himself: "You can come and go easily in this stone building without leaving a trace, and you will still be at the level of an apprentice." ?Master Gray Crow, you are really good at joking.
If you are really a wizard's apprentice, then I will be a slow-moving, blind and deaf old man, and there is no need for this intelligence agency to exist. Therefore, Lord Gray Crow, you must not be a wizard apprentice, definitely not. "
Garcia affirmed and turned back to the room.
