Chapter 107: Excessive (2)
Antonia walked slowly behind Arno, "Pull into our camp, Mentor, I have to say, your idea is too unrealistic, how could they join the Assassin camp that is hostile to the wizard?"
The wind stopped, and Arno took his hand off his top hat: "I think there is a better chance of success, if they really care about Eric as a friend, they will definitely help Eric to change the status quo in the wizarding world." β
Antonia stroked his long windswept hair, "So what are you going to do to change the status quo in the wizarding world?"
Arno looked down at the window downstairs that had extinguished the oil lamp and looked extremely dark: "Now we don't have the strength to change the wizarding world, you have to know, just in the country where we are located, it is estimated that there are about 10,000 wizards, not including the students and professors in Hogwarts, what capital do you think we have now to compete with wizards?"
Antonia's face was not good-looking at this time, because she had always thought that the number of wizards should be very rare, but Arno's words made her really understand the current strength of the wizarding world: "If this is the case, then how can we compete with wizards? Even if the children in the castle have grown up, and the brotherhood has less than 2,000 assassins, we are no match for wizards at all!"
Arno turned around and looked directly at Antonia with a sharp gaze: "I think you may have forgotten one of the most important things by now, tell me, Antonia, what is our identity?"
Antonia was frightened by Arno's gaze and took a step back, it was the first time she had seen such Arno, usually he was a polite gentleman, and tonight he made Antonia a little scared, and then she said tentatively: "We...... An Assassin?"
Arno nodded, then withdrew his gaze and turned his body back to the back: "That's right, we're Assassins, so do you think that as a worthy Assassin, he would be foolish enough to start a head-on confrontation with a wizard?"
Antonia bowed his head slightly: "Mentor, as a qualified assassin, except in special circumstances, he will not start a head-on conflict with a wizard or anyone else. β
Arno smiled with satisfaction: " You're right, we will never start a head-on conflict with the enemy without special circumstances, and some wizards, their abilities are very peculiar, such as those powerful spells, unguardable curses, I don't know if it's true or false, outstanding defense capabilities, and their hidden ability in front of ordinary people is also very good, but apart from these, they are no different from ordinary people, they will be sick, they will bleed, and they will die if they are stabbed by weapons, I believe that once a war breaks out between assassins and wizards, then in this struggle, it must be the assassins who have the upper handοΌβ
Antonia nodded in agreement: "Maybe you're right." β
Arno turned around and walked behind him with his cane as he said, "For now, Henry can be trusted for the time being, Antonia, leave your work to someone you trust for the time being, and arrive at the Assassin's Castle before eight o'clock tomorrow, since there is no problem on the wizard's side, then when we are ready tomorrow, we can set off to the Epping Forest!"
Antonia bowed to Arno, "Follow your will, Mentor. β
Arno smiled softly, walked to the edge of the roof, and leaped down with open hands.
Antonia straightened up and sighed as he looked at the empty rooftop.
"I think Arno is too fond of the tricksters, are you right, Lady Antonia?"
Antonia looked back at the man crouching on the eaves with a hood, "Haven't you returned to the Crow Manor, Mr. Megan?"
Meghan stood up, and her face hidden under the hood looked extremely serious: "I don't trust these wizards, even if I heard about Henry's childhood experience just now, I still don't trust him." β
Antonia frowned and looked at each one with those narrow eyes: "So, just now you were also eavesdropping on Mr. Henry's conversation around here? I have to say, if you let the mentor know, you will definitely be punished!"
Megan shrugged: "I don't think Arnold will do it, because I did it, and he also acquiesced." β
Antonia looked at each one in surprise: "Did the mentor acquiesce to your approach?
Meghan smiled at Antonia, then pointed to the opposite house and said, "Do you think I'm hiding over there and eavesdropping on Henry's conversation? I think Arno already knew I was hiding here when you walked out of the Nightingale's Inn, but he didn't stop me, right?"
Antonia looked at Megan thoughtfully: "It seems that the mentor doesn't trust this group of wizards very much......"
"I think yes, Arno is not a man who trusts people easily. Megan said as she turned around, "I'm sorry I can't continue to talk to you, now I have to hurry back to the Crow Manor to inform Jacob of them." β
Antonia couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the empty roof again except herself, and then she looked at a quiet room downstairs and muttered, "I hope these wizards don't do something stupid..."
ps: I feel that this chapter is very poorly written, because my physical condition is a little bad today, and my brain is also groggy, so I'll change it when I'm free.
