Chapter Seventy-Seven: Inquiry
Jacob looked at Arno in disbelief: "I admit that you are very strong, but I didn't expect you to be so strong that you can kill a werewolf by yourself......"
Arno nodded, "Not only me, but even the Brotherhood assassins have killed several werewolves, although we also have two assassins injured. ”
Evie looked at Arno stunned: "It's unbelievable, is the strength of the Brotherhood so strong......"
Jano pulled his chair closer to Jacob: "The Brotherhood is still developing, and there are still too few assassins in the castle, which is why I invited you, so...... Jacob, what are you going to do when Henry heals you? While you were unconscious, I sneaked into the manor to find out, the manor has been reoccupied by the Hungry Wolves, and as for your younger brothers, most of them have fled back to your old base camp, and some are locked up under the manor. ”
Evie frowned and didn't speak, while Jacob smiled: "Of course, it's to reorganize the people and take the manor back!"
Arno shook his head: "With the help of the Brotherhood, it is not difficult to regain the manor, it is rare that after you regain the manor, will the werewolves come out to attack you again, and at that time, what should you do?"
Jacob sighed helplessly: "I don't know ......"
Arno had a smile on his face: "Perhaps...... I have a suggestion to help you fend off werewolves. ”
Evie frowned and looked at Arno, "Oh? I wonder if Lord Arno's advice is good?"
Arno stood up with his cane: "Join the Brotherhood!"
Evie wasn't surprised, as she had already guessed what Arno was trying to say, "Forgive us for not being able to accept your suggestion, if we join the Brotherhood just like that, then the Crow will be an affiliate of the Brotherhood, and I have already said that we can't accept the Crow as an affiliate of another organization......"
Arno seemed to have guessed that Evie would say this, and there was no trace of surprise on his expression: "I understand, I have said a long time ago, the Brotherhood itself is a free organization, we will not let any Assassin pay any fees, nor will we interfere with and ask for any Assassin's own organization or goods, the Assassin only needs to abide by the Creed at the same time, when the Brotherhood needs you, even if you can respond to the Brotherhood's call, besides...... You don't have any other choice now, do you? Even the cost of healing Jacob is paid by the Brotherhood, not to mention that there are three or more werewolves waiting for a chance to kill you, what else can you do if you don't join the Brotherhood?"
Evie said with a look of embarrassment, "But...... It's ridiculous that the leader of one organization should be a member of another......!
Jacob stretched out his hand to stop Evie's words from continuing, "Evie, maybe as Arno said, we have no other choice......"
Then he looked at Arno with a solemn face: "We will join the Brotherhood, but ...... Can you guarantee that you won't meddle in any of the Rooks' internal affairs?"
Arno held his cane with a pestle in one hand, and the other raised it: "I, the leader of the Brotherhood, and the first heir of the Dorian family, swear that when Jacob Frye and Evie Frye join the Brotherhood, I will never interfere in the internal affairs of the Crows, nor will I use the Brotherhood's mission to indirectly use the Crows through Jacob or Evie!"
Jacob's pale face finally brought some smiles: "Arno, I think that's enough, I'm sure you'......"
Evie looked at Jacob and Arno's gaze and moved over, and she sighed helplessly: "Okay, then Your Excellency Arno, Jacob and I will trouble you in the future......"
Arno had a satisfied smile on his face: "Very good, you will find out in the future that this is the most correct decision in your life, then you can stay here with peace of mind, and when Henry has made the antidote, drink the holy water and officially join the brotherhood." ”
Seeing that the two of them had no objection, Arno took off his hat and turned to walk out the door.
"Arno!"
Arno stopped and looked at Jacob, who was lying on the bed calling his name.
"Thank you......"
Arno smiled softly, "We're friends, aren't we?"
Jacob also had a smile on his face: "You're right, we're friends!"
Arno nodded in satisfaction, turned and walked towards the door, while saying, "Since we are friends, then I have an obligation to help my friends. ”
Evie watched worriedly as Arno left the direction: "Is this really good?"
Jacob looked at his sister, "Do you have any better ideas?"
Evie opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, and finally closed her mouth.
Jacob smiled, "Since we can't find a better way, why don't we trust Arno?"
Evie looked at Jacob helplessly: "You're always so reckless, but...... Maybe you're right this time......"
..................................................................
"Henry, can you help me get some news when you go to Diagon Alley?" Arno said as he walked into the conference room and turned to Henry.
Henry looked at Arno in surprise: "Of course you can, but you have to bear the responsibility of Your Excellency Jin Gallon, who inquires about the news." ”
Arnold nodded: "Very good, I want you to inquire about what werewolf families are near the city of London, and where their base camp is." ”
Henry frowned and looked at Arno in embarrassment: "Your Excellency, if you just know the names of the werewolf families around London, I think it's easy, but if you want to know where their base camp is, I think it's difficult, even if you pay more gold gallons, it's hard to find out, after all, no wizard wants to offend the werewolf family......"
Arno took a money bag from his bosom and threw it on the table in front of Henry: "There's a thousand pounds in it, and I think that's enough to impress wizards who don't want to offend werewolves." ”
Heng picked up the money bag with trembling hands, and he stammered, "One...... A thousand pounds?! I swear, it's the first time I've ever held that much money in my life! I think those pounds will make the wizards hand over their wands!"
Arno had a confident smile on his face: "If you continue to accept my employment and remain loyal, I believe that in the future, you will not even look down on the pounds in your bag now, because ...... I can give you more!"
Henry looked at the bag in his hand obsessively: "No, I will look at it the same, who would think that I will have more pounds in my hand, are you right?"
