Chapter Seventy-One: The World Behind It
"What a beautiful lady, it seems that Arno's vision is still worthy of recognition!" said Jacob, looking at Antonia as she slowly walked downstairs.
Antonia was stunned when she heard Jacob's words, and then looked at him with a smile: "I think you may have misunderstood, I am not the mistress of Lord Arnold. ”
Jacob touched the tip of his nose: "I didn't think you were Arno's mistress, I always thought of you as his lover." ”
Antonia seemed to be amused by Jacob's words, and giggled as she walked downstairs: "I'm not the lover of His Excellency Arno, and I think it's better not to create this misunderstanding, so as not to cause me some unnecessary trouble." ”
Evie frowned, "Your Excellency Arno's identity, is his identity special?"
Antonia shifted her gaze to Evie, "I think you're the other leader of the Crows." ”
"Hey!" Jacob let out a dissatisfied voice, "There is only one leader of the crows, and that is me!"
Evie didn't bother Jacob: "Yes, we are the leaders of the Crows, I'm Evie Frye, this is my brother Jacob Evie Frye, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Antonia gave Evie a ladylike salute: "You can call me Antonia, and I'm also glad to know an independent and strong woman like you, but ...... Since His Excellency Arnold did not tell you his identity personally, then please forgive me for not being able to tell you his true identity, I think it would be more appropriate for him to tell you himself. ”
Jacob shrugged at the two who were ignoring him, turned to the couch to the side, and grumbled at the same time: "Okay, okay, it's time for you ladies to talk, I think I'd better stay away from you, it seems that this time before Arno comes will be quite boring." ”
Evie gave Jacob a blank look, then said to Antonia, "It seems that we will only know his true identity until His Excellency Arno arrives. ”
Antonia nodded: "Very good, so why don't we go up there and drink some champagne first?"
Jacob slammed up from the couch, "I don't think I'm going to be bored!
"Jacob!" Evie shouted disgruntled to Jacob.
Jacob spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, I only drink, I won't mess around, I hope the drinks here will be a good bar." ”
Antonia smiled to Jacob and said, "I won't let you down. ”

"It is because of His Excellency Arnold that we are able to occupy the gypsy neighborhood, and as long as the Rooks occupy this place, your Nightingale Hotel will not have to pay any protection fees, which is also the premise of His Excellency Arnold to help us. Evie spoke to Antonia as she sipped champagne.
Antonia raised the goblet and observed the two siblings sitting opposite through the glass: "Your Excellency Arno's skills are really unbelievable, always appearing quietly behind us, and disappearing when we look away from him. ”
Jacob sat up straight, showing a hint of excitement: "And his fighting ability is amazing! I don't think even I can be sure that I can defeat him head-on!"
Evie gave her brother a blank look, "Oh, how long do you think you can last with Lord Arno?"
Jacob shuddered as he thought back to Arno's ruthless killing methods that night.
"Hey, I think you guys were talking about me just now, right?"
Everyone turned their heads to the window and looked at Arno standing there with a pestle and a cane.
Jacob stood up: "Arno, you're finally here, and we're just talking about your skills!"
Arnold walked over to the sofa and sat down: "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, you have come early enough. ”
Evie looked out the window at the already dark sky, "Morning, I think if you come a little later, you'll have to tell us it's a good evening!"
Arno smiled awkwardly, "Haha, I apologize for being late." ”
Evie smiled helplessly, "Okay, let's get to the point, Lord Arno, I think you have something to tell us, right?"
Arno looked at Evie helplessly: "You're always so anxious, okay, now I'll tell you about those special people." ”
Antonia was stunned: "I'm sorry for the special crowd, but I really don't know what you're talking about. ”
Arno looked at Antonia: "Lady Antonia, before you tell me the answer, you might as well listen to me introduce some special people hidden in the shadows of this world,"
Antonia nodded: "Of course, this happened to pique my interest." ”
Arno smiled with satisfaction and stood up: "First of all, the first special group of people, I think you should have heard the names of this group of people from your parents since you were a child, they are the wizards in fairy tales, riding broomsticks, holding wands, and wearing shawls!"
Jacob stared at Arno suspiciously, "Wizard, are you sure you're not telling us fairy tales?"
Arno took off the top hat from his head and placed it on the table: "Please don't worry about the authenticity of these people I said, I will confirm it later." ”
Evie patted Jacob to stop him from speaking, and then said to Arno, "Please don't mind Jacob, you go on." ”
Arno nodded, and continued: " Very good, there are three special groups of people I know, the first is wizards, in the wizarding masses, most wizards have the idea of discriminating against ordinary people, they uniformly call ordinary people who have no magical talent Muggles, and they often play tricks on ordinary people, such as selling ordinary people a key that will shrink, and when they need to use it, they can't find it, ordinary people will think that their key is lost, because an ordinary person will not believe that one of his keys will shrink smaller and smaller, and then the wizard will laugh at ordinary people for turning a blind eye to magic, even if it is clearly in front of him。
But...... If someone does find out that it's magic, or if something related to a wizard is discovered, the wizard will use an amnesia charm on an ordinary person, making him forget what he has seen. ”
Evie had a look of disgust on her face: "It's really a group of bad people, ordinary people will be ridiculed if they don't find magic, and their memories will be erased when they find magic, are they perverts!"
Arno sighed softly: "And then there is the second group of people, no...... It should be said that the species ......"
