Chapter 9: Wizards and Muggles
The moon slowly crept up into the murky skies of London
"Wizard, are you sure you're awake, Arno?" In the conference room on the top floor of the castle, Meghan was dressed in a white robe with an eagle's beak-like hood, and looked at Henry with a surprised face under the hood: "Or have you been deceived by this shrewd liar?"
Arno sat on the main seat of the conference room, stretched out his hand to calm Meghan down, and looked at Henry at the same time: "Mr. Henry, you have also seen the situation, can you please show your hands? Of course I must trust you!"
With a reluctant face, Henry got up from his seat and drew his wand from his black robe: "That's why I don't want to have too much contact with Muggles, you see, they don't believe in wizards in the first place!"
Megan looked at Henry contemptuously: "Yes, if you really used the so-called "magic" and I didn't find a flaw, then I think I will apologize to you, Mr. Wizard!"
"Alright, alright, then as you wish!" Henry drew a circle in the void with his wand in his right hand: "Yuga Dim Leviosa!"
The chair on the side of the conference table seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand and lifted up, slowly floating into the air, Henry controlled the chair in the air, and looked at Meghan: "I think you still owe me an apology, are you right, Mr. Meghan!"
Meghan was stunned, he swore he had never been so surprised, Meghan heard Henry's words and forced herself to calm down: "Aha! I think you must have used something to hang him up, like throwing a transparent line from the roof?"
Megan said as he walked to the chair suspended in mid-air, and the corners of Henry's mouth hooked slightly: "Really? What if that?" Henry quickly shook his wrist and controlled the chair to smash Meghan
Megan looked at the chair rushing towards her at great speed, and was so frightened that she quickly jumped to the side and rolled on the ground to dodge the speeding chair: "Damn!!" Megan looked at the chair that smashed again, kicked two steps to the wall behind her and climbed to the middle of the wall, and then kicked hard ahead, and at the same time turned around in the air, fell and rolled around and stood up, and ran to Henry, who was standing aside with a wand and controlling the speeding chair
"Stop your damn trick!" Henry's wand-holding wrist was grabbed to the side by a wrist guard, and a sharp blade was held against his abdomen, "Or do you want me to make a hole in your stomach?"
"Bang Bang!!"
Arnold sat on the main seat and clapped his hands, with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much for the wonderful performance you brought me, Mr. Henry's magic shocked me quite a bit, I think the show should be over, please sit down both of you!"
Meghan glanced at Arno, let go of the hand on Henry's wrist, flicked back her Hidden Blade, and sat back in her seat without saying a word
Henry didn't seem to care, put his wand back into the black robe, and walked to his seat: "Okay, I think Mr. Megan should have acquiesced to the existence of wizards!"
Megan looked at Henry with an unkind face: "I think you should keep your mouth shut, otherwise next time my Hidden Blade won't just be outside your belly!"
Arno patted the table gently: "Megan, you were wrong this time, I think you should apologize to Mr. Henry!"
"No! don't think about it!"
"Megan, don't let Dorian's last name be discredited!"
Meghan looked at Arnold's serious face, so she had to look at Henry, stood up, and bowed slightly to Henry: "I'm sorry, Mr. Henry!"
Henry smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry too much, Mr. Megan"
Arno looked at Henry with a smile: "I think Meghan should respond to his promise, it's getting late, I think Mr. Henry should be tired too, right?"
"Click!"
The door to the conference room opened, and Aris walked in through the door: "I'm here, Mentor"
"Please take Mr. Henry to his room to rest," Arno commanded Aris as he entered
Aris walked up to Henry: "Please follow me, Mr. Henry"
Henry stood up: "Then I will take my leave, Mr. Arnold, Mr. Meghan." ”
Arno nodded at Henry, "Have a good dream, Mr. Henry." ”
"Click!"
The door to the conference room was slammed shut, and neither of them spoke in the room.
Long
Arno sighed softly, "I don't believe him!"
Meghan looked at Arnold: "The trickster?"
Arno got up from his main seat and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window next to the conference room, "No, I mean all wizards, I don't trust any of them!"
"Then why did you hire a juggler?" asked Meghan curiously
Arno turned his head and looked at Megan dotingly: "We need to understand them! I don't think we assassins and wizards can get along peacefully, if we don't get to know him, I think we'll suffer a lot!"
Megan looked at Arno, "Why? Is it because wizards are evil? like the wizard queen in Snow White?"
Arno shook his head: "As far as I know, the wizarding community looks down on ordinary people very much, and calls ordinary people Muggles! Even wizards born in ordinary families are discriminatory, insulting their origins and calling them mudbloods!"
Meghan frowned, "I don't think two words are a good word!, but where did you learn that, Arno?"
Arnold nodded: " Of course it's not a good word, I think the point is not where I learned about it, the most important thing is that wizards will also modify the memories of ordinary people at will, such as citizens accidentally find that wizards are using magic, or find something else related to wizards, then wizards will use magic to forcibly modify the memories of citizens, and even the battle between wizards affects ordinary people, hurting or killing ordinary people, they will use magic to change people's minds or directly dominate people's minds, find a substitute ghost or make this case unsolved!”
Meghan's brows furrowed even deeper: "Modify people's memories?!Can you still dominate people's minds?!How is this possible?!"
Arno nodded: "Of course, for example, the wizard's magic is forgotten! This magic can change people's memories! There is also a magical soul out of the body, he can control people's minds!"
Megan stood up: "To be honest, I still can't believe that wizards have this kind of magic, but if what you say is true, it will be terrible! The citizens have their memories changed or their minds changed before they know it!
Arno took a deep breath: "It is precisely because of this that I want to understand them, and only by understanding them can we prevent them from harming ordinary citizens!"
"Then what should we do!"
"Right now, we don't have the power to stop the wizards, all we can do at the moment is to hide and lurk behind the wizards, waiting for the right time!"

In the courtyard in front of the castle, a group of children wearing white robes and hoods like eagles' beaks stood in the middle of the courtyard, Arno and Meghan and four assassins in brown trench coats and hoods stood on the high platform in front of the courtyard, Arno stepped forward with a pestle and a cane, and looked at the children below with a smile: "Then, I think the first mission of the Brotherhood should begin!"
