Chapter Seventy-Two: The Invitation

"They are called magical creatures, and they often appear in our childhood stories, such as murderous werewolves, dwarf and ugly elves, hideous trolls, dragons, unicorns, centaurs, phoenixes, dementors, hippogriffs, meows, merfolks, Thestrals, giants, and so on......... Arno said slowly and calmly to the trio.

Antonia pressed her forehead and said to Arno, "I'm sorry, Lord Arno, I think this has caused quite a shock to my worldview, I don't even know whether to trust you or not......"

Arno looked at the other two with obvious disbelief on their faces, and shook his head at Antonia: "Please don't take it to heart, I think even if it is someone else sitting here now, they will not easily believe what I say, after all, this is incredible." ”

With gratitude in her eyes, Antonia said to Arno: "Thank you for your understanding, you are a true gentleman!"

Arno smiled politely at Antonia, then continued, "I know that everyone has some doubts about what I am saying now...... Or maybe you haven't believed it...... But don't worry, I'll take you to confirm it myself when I tell you about the third group. ”

Arno looked at the three of them sitting quietly on the sofa waiting for his popular science, he nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, it's the turn of the third group of people, although they are extremely strong, they are born among ordinary citizens, or rather, they themselves belong to one of the ordinary citizens, they fight to ensure that citizens are equal to their free will and all beings, maybe you have also heard their names, their names are assassins!"

Evie frowned, "Assassins?!, the same group of assassins who took away the child laborers from all the factories in the city of London?"

Antonia looked at Arno meaningfully: "It seems that the assassins of His Excellency Arno have a deep connection......"

Arno nodded, graciously acknowledging Antonia's guess, "I do have a deep connection to the Assassins...... To reintroduce myself, my name is Arno, the eldest son of House Dorian and the leader of the Brotherhood of the Assassin Order. ”

Evie's pupils narrowed suddenly: "Dorian?!I hope I didn't hear it wrong, you turned out to be a member of the Dorian family!"

Jacob obviously didn't believe Arno: "Arno, although the story you made up is quite true, but the only loophole is your identity, I don't think His Royal Highness the Prince of the Dorian family will have anything to do with people like us, but I have to say, you almost deceived me." ”

Arno looked at Jacob, who was making fun of him, and shrugged helplessly: "Why don't you believe that I am from the Dorian family?"

Antonia took a sip of champagne, and then looked at the two siblings with a smile: "Regarding the true identity of His Excellency Arnold, I think I can prove it to him......"

Jacob clasped the tip of his nose, "I'm sorry, I don't think you can prove it for Arnold, after all, we just met today." ”

Arno sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's skip my true identity, after all, this will not affect our next affairs." ”

"Here...... I have ...... in the name of the leader of the Assassin Order-Brotherhood" Arno looked at the three people sitting on the sofa with a serious face, and raised his hands slightly: "I am here to formally invite you...... Join the Brotherhood, become an Assassin, and join me in fighting for the free will and equality of the people! Of course, the organization under your name is still yours, and if the Brotherhood does not interfere in anything in your organization, it is good that the organizations continue to cooperate with each other. ”

Antonia continued to drink the champagne in her glass without saying a word, and neither Jacob nor Evie could react, which made Arno feel a little embarrassed as she waited for their reply.

Arno reluctantly lowered his hands: "Maybe it's too early, we can continue the partnership, and when the time comes, I will invite you again......"

Antonia put down the goblet in her hand: "Maybe after you confirm what you said about wizards and magical creatures, I will join the Brotherhood...... I guess that's what you think too, right?"

Evie looked at Antonia, who asked her, and after thinking for a few seconds, she shook her head: "No, if Your Excellency Arno can confirm that wizards and magical creatures really exist in this world, I will cooperate with Jacob and the Brotherhood, but do I want to become an assassin...... I think we need to think about it, after all, we're in the position of the leader of the Crows. ”

Jacob frowned and looked at Evie, "So you made the decision for me like that?"

Arno reached out and picked up the eagle-headed cane leaning against the table: "There are still many benefits to becoming an assassin, such as the improvement of one's own strength, okay, let's not mention this for now, we might as well confirm with me the crowd I mentioned first, the carriage has been prepared downstairs, as for whether to join the brotherhood, we will mention it later......"

Antonia narrowed her eyes slightly: "Oh? So...... Can assassins be produced in batches? It's very different from the blood-based hordes like wizards and magical creatures......"

Arno looked at Antonia with appreciation: "Lady Antonia, I have to say that your intelligence always surprises me......"

"Da! Da!"

The carriage drove slowly into the Assassin castle, and Jacob, who was sitting in the carriage, looked out the window at the scenery and muttered, "Dorian Castle...... I think I've taken Arno's word for granted, if he wasn't from House Dorian, he wouldn't have been able to enter the castle so easily, I've heard that this castle is not accessible to anyone, and when some unrelated people approach it, they will always be chased away by the guards patrolling the vicinity. ”

Evie nodded in agreement: "I now somewhat believe that there are wizards and magical creatures in this world, as the most powerful noble child in London, I won't make such a big effort, just to tease us little citizens!"

Antonia, on the other hand, sat back in her chair without saying a word, looking at the two siblings who were talking to each other.

The carriage slowly drove to a stop in the square in the castle, and Yanora stepped out of the door, standing under the carriage and saying to the three inside, "Welcome to the Brotherhood's stronghold, the Assassin's Castle!"

Antonia stepped out of the carriage step by step, while constantly observing the surroundings and the little assassins in white robes who went back and forth around her: "What a huge castle, and these little assassins...... I guess it's the child labor you brought back from the factory, right?"

Arno nodded: "Yes, they are all child laborers that I led the Assassins to rescue from the factory, I adopted them, after all, where can they go without parents and a place to live......?

Antonia looked at the group of little assassins with a confused look in her eyes: "I have to say, I have some envy of them, envy that they met you before they were blackened by this chaotic era......"
