Come to think of it, any wizard would be extremely cautious when faced with such a situation.
Then, Cassandra spoke to comfort him:
"Don't be nervous, newbie. The Secret Party is a secret organization established by JoKer. Its main purpose is to provide a platform for communication and cooperation for elite wizards like us."
"You can buy intelligence within the secret party, buy and sell magical items and even magical animals, ask questions and seek answers, and even post messages for help. We don't want to harm you, we want to be friends with you, because only the strong are worthy of being friends with the strong!"
Draco was stunned when he heard Cassandra's last words. It seemed that he had said the same thing to Harry.
Hearing this, Draco had actually become interested in the secret party, but Draco still asked:
"So, what's the price?"
Hearing Draco's question, Cassandra continued to answer: "It's very simple. First, never leak any information about the secret party to outsiders!"
"Second, you must not do anything that harms the interests of the Secret Party and its members!"
"Third, complete the tasks assigned by the secret party from time to time!"
Hearing Cassandra's request, Draco frowned and asked:
"The secret party's mission? What kind of mission will the secret party give?"
This time, Cassandra spread her hands and said, "Who knows! But it must be a task that is within your ability! JoKer will not deliberately make things difficult for any member. After all, even if you were given the task of assassinating Dumbledore, you wouldn't go, right!"
After hearing Cassandra's explanation, Draco finally had a general understanding of the so-called secret party, and also developed a deep interest in the JoKer mentioned by Cassandra.
So, Draco spoke up, "I have one last question. I want to meet JoKer!"
But what Draco didn't expect was that the King of Hearts, who had been so easy to talk to before, suddenly changed color after he said this!
Cassandra slammed the table and said angrily:
"That's enough! Newbie, who do you think you are? Is JoKer someone you can meet whenever you want?"
At this time, Green tried to smooth things over and said, "Newbie, in the secret party, only JoKer will specifically summon us. We will never take the initiative to ask to see JoKer! But JoKer is like his identity card, always hiding in the dark, quietly watching us!"
As he spoke, Green pointed to the top of the round table. Draco then realized that although no one was sitting at the top of the table, there was an identity card quietly placed on the table.
Draco walked over curiously, but saw a masked clown on the ID card, looking at him with a half-smile.
I have to say that Cassandra's serious use of the name of JoKer and what she did were still very intimidating.
At least at this moment, Draco had already accepted in his heart that there was such a powerful JoKer. He even felt that he might be somewhere now, watching here quietly.
At this time, Cassandra urged:
"Okay, your question has been answered. Now, tell us your answer. Join or leave?"
Draco was silent for a long time. Just when Cassandra was about to get impatient, Draco said, "I choose to join!"
The reason why Draco finally chose to join the Secret Party was because he was moved by Cassandra's last words: only the strong are worthy of being friends with the strong!
Now that he had made up his mind, Draco no longer hesitated, walked straight forward and drew a card from the deck.
When I opened it, it turned out to be a J of clubs.
Seeing this, Cassandra put away the remaining ID cards and said, "Welcome aboard, Jack of Clubs!"
Cedric and Green also congratulated Draco.
After thanking everyone, Draco found a seat and sat down.
Cassandra then said, "J of Clubs, you have now officially joined the Camarilla. All the rights of Camarilla members have been unlocked for you."
Hearing Cassandra's words, Draco was slightly startled, looked around, and asked curiously: "Are there only four of us in the secret party?"
Faced with Draco's question, Cassandra and Cedric were both stunned and felt a little embarrassed.
But Green said casually: "Of course not. The main agenda today is about your joining the secret party. Our elders will call different members to the meeting according to the different agendas. Unless JoKer has issued a task that requires full participation, we rarely call all members to come."
Hearing this, Cassandra also echoed:
"That's right. After all, if all members gathered here at the same time, it would be too conspicuous and easy to be exposed!"
"And everyone's identity is the most important secret in the secret party. Only JoKer knows the identity of each of us!"
After hearing Cassandra and Green's explanation, Draco felt relieved. At the same time, he felt that the Secret Party must be a well-organized and even long-standing secret organization, and inexplicably he had a little more expectation for the future.
But suddenly, Draco seemed to have thought of something, and asked quickly: "I have a question that I would like to get an answer to. May I ask, what should I do, or what price do I need to pay?"
Cassandra was stunned when she heard Draco's words. She didn't expect that Draco actually came with questions!
This was somewhat beyond Cassandra's expectations.
Cassandra was very worried at this time. What if none of the three people present could answer Draco's question? The image she had worked so hard to create would be completely ruined!
While Cassandra was still worried, Green stepped forward and said openly:
"Although this topic is not on the agenda for today's meeting, since the newcomer has asked, let's make an exception! Jack of Clubs, tell us what the question is. Perhaps one of us three knows the answer! If not, you can ask again at the next multi-person meeting!"
Hearing Green's words, Draco quickly expressed his gratitude and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, King of Spades!"
Cassandra looked at Green anxiously, but since things had come to this point, Cassandra could only pray that Draco's questions would not be too difficult. Fortunately, Green still left some room for buffer.
Then, Draco asked:
"I want to ask, does any of you know Nick Flamel?"
