Chapter 23 Learning Magic Is Not as Good as Learning Cao

In front of Arno was a cup of coffee.

It was brewed by a beautiful lady, and there was a thin mist coming out of the cup.

Around the coffee, there were a bunch of beautifully arranged desserts, exuding an attractive luster.

However, Arno didn't care about these things at all. He crossed his legs and smiled as he looked at the newspaper in his hand.

On it, the latest report was published.

In this era when technology has developed to a somewhat unscientific level, any news will be reported as soon as possible.

[Shock! Such a thing happened in the Royal School of Magic! ]

[The despicable magician used his power to take away the money that originally belonged to the people. ]

[The white-robed magician used his privilege to make profits for himself and has been suspended for inspection. Regarding the magician qualification test, the second round will be reopened in the near future. In order to correct the wrong results, the results of the first round of tests will be invalidated. ]

In the newspaper, the same thing was repeatedly reported with this title.

All other news was squeezed into the corners. On the not-so-small newspaper, people could only pay attention to this matter at the first time.

Obviously, what Arno did before has been completely exposed.

"The speed of doing things is quite fast."

However, Arno, as the initiator, was not panicked at all, but smiled more brightly.

Because these things were originally done by him to let the correctors use the intelligence network and network of contacts in their hands.

"I let them have a dream."

"But there is a time limit for this dream."

Arno took a sip of coffee and thought to himself.

So many people who are not qualified as magicians, of course, cannot enter the academy.

If the matter is exposed at that time, the empire will be furious and will dig itself out even if it digs three feet deep.

And now, if it is exposed without causing serious impact, and all the responsibilities are put on the head of the white robe magician, then the top leaders of the empire will not have any extreme reaction to this.

As long as the interests of that group of people are not damaged, then they will be indifferent to everything.

"Now, you don't even have to give me the remaining tenth."

"Anyway, he doesn't have time. Before he gives me away--"

"No, that's not right. Before these reports were published, his life had already been extinguished."

Arnold stirred his coffee and added a spoon of sugar to the spoon beside him.

"Only corpses can keep secrets."

"Greed and cowardice will take people's lives."

Crumpled the newspaper into a ball, Arno casually threw it into the trash can.

With a "pop", the paper ball fell into the trash can very accurately.

The sound of shredding paper followed, as if this matter would completely disappear along with the newspaper.

"Whoever controls the intelligence controls public opinion."

"Whoever controls public opinion controls this society."

"People always sway with their emotions, and they simply don't have the ability to recognize everything."

"So, someone needs to guide them."

"As long as you give them an emotional outlet, they will stand on your side."

"Nothing is easier than this."

Arno smiled gently, and the liquid in the coffee cup rippled, shaking his face reflected in it.

This face looks handsome and easy-going at first glance.

At this time, a sudden sound of footsteps sounded behind him.

Immediately, with a faint fragrance, a pair of soft arms wrapped around his neck.

"What are you thinking about, so happy?"

The pleasant voice, with a little liveliness, sounded in Arno's ears.

The warm breath poured into Arno's ears, making him feel a little itchy.

"I wonder why my wife is always so lovable."

A helpless expression appeared on Arno's face, and he held the hand around his neck in a doting tone.

The feeling of the palm, like its owner, has a warm feeling, both slender and soft.

"Coffee, very delicious."

Looking down at the steaming coffee, Arno tilted his head slightly, and accidentally bumped into the face of the person on his shoulder.

"You always speak so nicely."

"Isn't it the same as before?"

The man said this, but his tone seemed very happy.

Suddenly, Arno felt the weight and softness on his body disappear.

"Although the opportunity for us to get along is rare."

"But it's time to talk about business."

The lively voice became a little serious.

Arno raised his eyes and looked across the table, where a person had already sat down.

This is a woman who always gives people a sense of surprise no matter when or how many times you look at her.

Her hair was golden, untreated, and casually spread on her body, giving people a feeling of sunshine.

In her amber eyes, Arno's own shadow was reflected.

In her eyes, Arno's already handsome face seemed to be even more beautiful.

Arno knew that this was because the beauty of her eyes was entangled with his unconcealable charm.

Needless to say, she was like a bastard child of God. Just one look at her was indescribably perfect.

Extra words cannot fully describe her beauty.

However, at this moment, there was a faint gloom on her beautiful face.

It was as if the one who made that lively voice just now was not her.

——Although even this expression was very pleasing to the eye.

"Yanmo-kun, my husband, can you tell me?"

"Why do you want to betray the empire?"

She was very serious,

but Arno was not like her. He just looked at himself reflected in her eyes again and sighed in his heart.

"If it was my own face, there would probably be no room for improvement."

"After all, I have reached the ceiling."

Thinking of this, Arno's face could not help but show a somewhat relaxed expression.

"Please don't relax so much!"

"We are talking about business now!"

She said in a soft voice.

Arno came back to his senses and nodded.

Other people's wives may be very good, but this time he did not come for this purpose.

The first step to infiltrate the reformists must start from her.

——

Just as Arno was carrying out his actions,

In a corner of the commercial district in the capital, in a very dark alley where few people came.

This time, several people came.

They carried a bag in their hands and threw it casually on the ground, raising a dust.

Judging from the size of the bag, the things inside were about 1.8 meters long.

Judging from the fact that several people were carrying it together just now, the weight was unclear.

"We're here."

A man who looked like a leader knocked on the wall on the right side of the alley and took out a few bricks from the bottom, which were actually empty.

"Inside are man-eating rats."

"They are not aggressive, but they like to eat human corpses."

"As instructed, we bring the bag here and drop it off and we can leave."

"In a few minutes, this bag will disappear completely."

The leader laughed twice, and was excited when he thought of the agreed gold coins.

The others also laughed.

The alley was so dark that no one noticed that in the darkness behind them, a flashing light appeared.

...

Soon after,

"Squeak..."

The man-eating rat came out of the hole and looked at the corpses on the ground with shining eyes.

It was a long-awaited day to have a good meal.

It immediately called out to the brothers in the hole.

Immediately, countless rats rushed out of the hole.

"Beep, beep, rats found."

Outside the alley, the cleaning robot made a few beeps and rushed towards the alley.

And when it came to clean up the rats,

all that was left was a bag and,

a small piece of white rag inside.
