Chapter Ninety-Nine: Persuasion
Percival looked at Eric with interest: "Oh, I am more interested in your boss's career......
Eric shrugged: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you about this yet, because my boss's career is more secretive. ”
"Well, in that case, Candela, let's go first. Percival said a word to Candela, then stood up, and turned to walk out of the way.
Then Percival took a step forward and stopped, he looked down at the hand that was clutching the corner of his shirt, and then he looked behind him, it was Eric, Percival looked at Candela and said to him with a pleading look.
"I only have you two friends, I need your help......"

"Kuang! Kuang!"
Arno stood in the blacksmith shop with a hawk-headed cane in both hands, quietly watching Pete and some of the apprentices he had recruited.
"Your Excellency, Mentor!"
A man in a black coat and a topper of the same color, with a spherical staff head in his hand, walked in.
Arnold turned his head to look over, "Ah, James, you're here." ”
James took off his top hat, then put his arms up, buckled the top hat on his forearm, and he bowed lightly to Arno: "It's a pleasure to meet you, I don't know what your Excellency needs to order me to summon me?"
Arnold turned his gaze back to the busy apprentice, he turned the cane in his hand and said, "James, you have recently temporarily stopped applying for the Child Labor Protection Act. ”
James was stunned: "Application to stop the Child Labor Protection Act?"
Arnold could hear the confusion in James's tone, and he explained, "It's just a temporary suspension of the application, we have more important things to do now." ”
Although James still had doubts in his heart, he still nodded: "I understand, and I will stop applying to the city hall after that." ”
Arno smiled with satisfaction: "I think you must have some questions you want to ask me, don't worry about it, just ask whatever you want." ”
James hesitated, but he finally spoke, "Can you tell me what is more important? Pardon my offense, I personally think there is nothing more important than the Child Labor Protection Act." ”
Instead of answering James's question directly, Arno pointed to the busy group of apprentices and said, "Do you know what they're doing?"
James frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I don't know the answer. ”
Arno's gaze averted from his apprentice, and he turned to look at James, "They're gilding crossbows, bullets, and assassin tomahawks. ”
James looked at the dozen or so large wooden boxes neatly placed on the side of the blacksmith shop and sighed, "I already knew the information that werewolves were afraid of silver a few days ago, but could it be too much? I mean, if it was only used to repel the attacking werewolves, it wouldn't be so much." ”
Arno nodded in agreement: "I think so, if you just repel the werewolves who attacked you and the Crows, you really won't need so much ammunition." ”
James looked at Arno in surprise: "Then ...... are you?"
Arno smiled at James, "But what we're dealing with now is the eighty werewolves in the Epping Forest. ”
James froze: "Eighty, do you mean we're going to attack the werewolf stronghold? Are you sure you're not kidding? We're already struggling to deal with the werewolves that attacked me, and we can go and face the eighty werewolves?!"
"James, would you like to walk around the castle with me?" Arno lowered his left hand from his cane and walked towards the door of the blacksmith with a pestle and cane in one hand.
James hurriedly followed Arnold out, and at the same time said, "It's my pleasure." ”
Arno was walking in the courtyard of the castle with his cane, and at the same time looking at the little assassins who were busy walking back and forth in the courtyard, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and then he looked at James who was about to stop talking: "During this period of time, every time you resist the attacking werewolves, there will be assassins injured, right?"
James nodded: "Yes, there will be some assassins injured every time, but fortunately, they are all minor injuries. ”
Arno walked as he looked at the huge towering walls of the Assassin Castle: "Yes, fortunately, nothing has been harmed, but if it continues like this, I think soon, the cemetery in the castle will have to add one or more tombstones, what do you say?"
James frowned: "However, we simply don't have the ability to face so many werewolves, if we just confront them so boldly, I think the consequences will not just be a matter of adding a few tombstones to the cemetery!"
Arno smiled and shook his head, "If it were just the adult assassins in the castle, of course we wouldn't have succeeded. ”
James looked at Arno in surprise: "What do you mean...... Do you have any other arrangements?"
"Ha, are you the wizards who aren't sure if you can come?"
Arno and James shifted their gazes to the place where the voice was coming from.
Arno blinked, "Hey, Megan, when did you come back?"
Megan didn't pay attention to Arno's inquiry, but walked quickly to the two of them: "Arno, I already said yesterday, we can't trust that trickster so easily, and those wizard friends he found can't be trusted, I don't think it's a good time to launch a general attack on werewolves!"
Arno looked at Megan with a meaningful gaze: "Then when do you think the right time is the right time?
Megan looked at her brother with a headache: "But we can't face so many werewolves now! If that group of tricksters suddenly has some problems in the war, then this is a fatal blow to the brotherhood!"
Arnold reached out and patted Meghan on the shoulder: "When did I say that my hole cards are those wizards?"
Megan was stunned: "You, when you came to deliver ammunition yesterday, didn't you tell me that you asked Henry to find other wizards to help?"
Arnold nodded, "I did, I did ask Henry to find other wizards to help, but who told you this is my hole card?"
Megan shook her head in annoyance: "Okay, tell me what your hole cards are, otherwise I don't think either I or Mr. James will be at ease." ”
"Da! Da!"
Arno looked at the carriage slowly driving in from outside the city gate, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "Ha, it seems that my hole cards are here!"
