Let me rewind the clock to yesterday afternoon.

Arno opened the door of the conference room at the top of the castle and walked in, hanging his top hat and coat on the hanger, and said to Megan, who was about to go out: "Megan, put down all the things you have in your hands now, there is a task for you to do." ”

Megan raised her eyebrows, raised her hand holding the envelope and shook it in front of Arno: "Although I would love to help you, I'm sorry, my mother wrote to me asking me to go home before sunset today, otherwise she will personally rush to the castle and arrest me home." ”

Arno rubbed his temples with a headache: "Then let Donner go, where is Donner?"

Megan shrugged, "And guess what, because I have to be at the estate now, I let Donner go to the construction site before you come back, because there was a worker there who was injured by a falling brick." ”

Arno frowned and looked at Megan: "Don't tell me that Seville and the other adult assassins are not in the castle......"

Megan buttoned her nose: " Ah, I think you're right, I'm going to wait for you to get back to the castle to report to you, there's something going on with James, three werewolves appeared near Kenway's mansion yesterday and attacked James who came back from the town hall, and when killing the werewolves, Aryan and Sori were scratched by the werewolves in order to protect James' safety, and were sent back to the castle this morning to recuperate, so in the morning, I asked Seville and nine other adult assassins to follow James away, after all, we don't know how many werewolves those people will send to kill James next time。 ”

Arnold's face became serious, and he looked at Meghan with satisfaction: "You did the right thing, although there are some overreactions, but I think it's not a bad thing, continue to be in this state." ”

Megan nodded and walked towards the door: "I will, then I'll leave for the manor first." ”

When Megan walked to the door of the conference room, she suddenly stopped and turned around, pointing to Alice, who was standing in the corner of the conference room with curly red hair: "Ah, I almost forgot, I think Miss Alice has something to talk to you about." ”

———————————————

Arno walked over to the conference table and sat down, he looked at Alice, "So, Miss Alice, please sit down, tell me the problem you have, and if you can, I will help you." ”

Alice walked over to the seat in front of Arno and sat down, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry for wasting your time. ”

Arnold smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, tell me the problem you encountered." ”

Alice took a deep breath, then looked at Arno with a determined gaze, "Please let me participate in an adult assassin's mission!"

"Participating in the mission of an adult assassin?" Arno was stunned, and then shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, I'm sorry I had to refuse your request, I think the first task of an adult assassin is to study, train, and eat more at the same time to make yourself stronger, so that you can become a good assassin when you reach adulthood." ”

Alice frowned delicately: "I think I am already a qualified apprentice assassin, and I will prove myself in the mission!"

Arno looked at the girl in front of her with a headache: "Alice, if the Brotherhood agrees to let the underage children go on a mission, then what difference is there between us and the factory owners who enslave child labor?"

Alice shook her head firmly: "No, this is different, please forgive me for not agreeing with your idea, we in the Brotherhood are fighting for the equality and freedom of our dreams! We are not fighting for someone, or an organization, we are fighting for ourselves! This is completely different from the slavery of the factory owners you said!"

Arno rubbed his eyebrows: "Miss Alice, maybe your idea is not wrong, but I'm sorry, I still can't agree to your request, no matter what you say, when I first decided to liberate you, I just wanted you to have a stable and happy childhood, I don't think any work should be done by children, the only thing you need to do is to have a happy childhood, although I haven't done it for the time being...... Because there are few assassins in the Brotherhood, I can only let you join the Brotherhood as a reserve assassin, but letting you join the Brotherhood for training is already my bottom line, and you who should have spent your childhood happily were brought into the Brotherhood by me to train hard every day, which already makes me feel very guilty. ”

Alice looked at Arno with a hint of guilt on her face, quickly stood up, and said loudly to Arnold: "No! You shouldn't feel guilty! You saved us from hell!

Arno listened to Alice's words, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You can use this as an upfront investment, maybe you can't bring benefits and benefits to the Brotherhood now, but when you grow up, you will create far more than the current contribution to the Brotherhood!"

Alice looked helplessly at Arnold, who was not in the oil and salt: "I'm sorry mentor, I still stick to my own idea, please let me participate in the mission of an adult assassin!"

Arno shook his head: "I also stand by my decision, I think Miss Alice you can go back." ”

Alice looked at Arnold with a determined expression, sighed in disappointment, pushed away the chair behind her, and slowly walked to the door.

Arno looked at Alice with a sigh, lowered his head, like a puppy abandoned by his master, and slowly moved towards the door step by step, he pinched the bridge of his nose, and finally said to Alice: "Perhaps, you can go to the field to observe how adult assassins carry out their tasks." ”

Alice turned her head sharply and looked at Arno in surprise: "Is what you said true!? I can participate in the mission of an adult assassin?!"

Arno stood up, walked up to Alice, put his left hand on top of her head, and rubbed it gently: "No, just observe, listen, I have a few requirements for you, and if you swear you can do it, I agree to take you to the field to see how I carry out the mission." ”

Alice jumped up with joy: "I swear! as long as I am allowed to go to the field, I will agree to any request!"

Arno nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, tomorrow I will go on a mission on Gypsy Street, on the way to the mission, you can't make any moves to the target, you can't expose yourself, and at the same time, you can't affect my mission, if you are sure that you can do it, wait for me at the gate of the castle at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
