Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

"It's not that serious." The defendant's lawyer smiled and said, "This is just an ordinary work-related injury case. Let's not make things more complicated."

"Yes, you are used to not treating people as human beings." Hobert said: "You think this work-related injury case should be handled this way. This is the saddest part."

The defendant’s lawyer waved his hand: “Okay, let’s talk about something practical.

"Even if you want to sue Mr. Arnold for intentional injury, the probability of you winning the case is very low, so let's just leave it at that.

"How about 200 pounds? That's well beyond Mr. Arnold's obligations."

Hobert shook his head: "1,000 pounds."

The defendant's lawyer looked livid: "Your request will make it impossible for us to continue talking."

"Okay, goodbye." Hobert opened the car door and helped Bob out of the car.

Baker, who had been silent all this time, said sullenly: "Mr. Arnold will use all his connections to make you lose the case! Don't even think about getting a penny!"

Hobert smiled: "Why do I think you are scared? Why do you sound so unsure of yourself?"

Baker snorted coldly and closed the door without saying anything. The coachman waved his whip and the carriage slowly left.

Bob, who picked up his "crutch", suddenly said: "Mr. Hobert, if you agreed to their request just now, I won't blame you."

Hobert waved to the taxi and said with a smile: "People always have something to pursue."

Arriving at the Obsidian Bar in the North District, Hobert asked Bob to wait outside the door. He went in and ordered a glass of beer, and tipped the bartender to ask Ms. Daly to come over.

This place is very close to the Blackthorn Security Company. Dai Li came ten minutes later: "We meet too frequently. Is this your way of getting close to me on purpose?"

Hobert smiled: "Madam, I have no intention of falling in love now."

"What a young man who doesn't know how to cherish." Dai Li smiled and said, "Tell me, what do you want from me this time?"

Hobert said straight to the point: "I want you to send my client to the workhouse of the Church of the Night."

Dai Li frowned: "This is not my responsibility."

"Isn't it your duty to help the believers of the goddess solve the difficulties they encounter?"

"Okay, okay, I'm actually trying to argue with a 'lawyer'!" Dai Li asked, "What's so special about him?"

"Ma'am, Backlund is full of ordinary people."

"Then what's your reason for sympathizing with him?"

"It's not what you think." Hobert said: "I let him go to the workhouse, it's just that I need him to survive."

He smiled self-deprecatingly: "I have my purpose."

"Oh?" Daly tilted her head and looked at Hobert: "Really?"

The two chatted for a while and then came to the door of the bar together. Hobert handed Bob to Daley.

After Hobert got on the carriage and left, Daley asked Bob: "Tell me about your experience."

"Huh? Yes, yes, ma'am."

…

Returning to the law office, Hobert began to prepare materials to submit to the official court. The next step was to wait for the court to accept it and announce the court date.

After all this work, Hobert stretched and finally had some free time. He looked at the scenery outside the window and considered buying some delicious food to treat himself to after get off work.

Time flies when fishing. After get off work, Hobert bought some pumpkin bread and desserts to reward himself for his performance in the magistrate's court today.

After dinner in a pleasant atmosphere, Christine called Hobert to the study: "I have asked Dophis to contact Jacob Otto. Dophis has already done an investigation before. Jacques It turns out that what they discovered is indeed a Quaternary relic."

Hobert was stunned for a moment before he recalled that Jacob was the one who claimed to have discovered the relics of the Fourth Age and formed a team twice at the mercenary club gatherings.

When he formed a team for the second time, Hobert also conveyed his wish to ask Brigadier General Christine for help.

Dophis is Christine's personal servant and is notoriously incompetent, but Christine always keeps him by her side.

Hobert had long guessed whether he would be an Extraordinary. Since Christine would send him to do preliminary investigations and contact Jacob, he must be an Extraordinary who is loyal to Christine.

Kristine said: "Tomorrow Dophis officially joins Jacob's team. You should also go with us. You will show up often in the future. In the end, you will also be qualified to divide the income from the ruins."

And such a good thing! Hobert nodded: "Okay."

Of course he knew that this was not a act of kindness from Jacob, but a benefit gained from the face of a brigadier general.

Kristine took a deep breath and added: "Rex did explore some ancient ruins after returning from the Southern Continent, but I only accompanied him to explore two places, not including the one discovered by Jacob's team. Perhaps, perhaps, his relics can be found in the ruins.”

Hobert didn't have any "feelings" about this, after all, he was very unfamiliar with this "biological father".

After the simple conversation, Hobert left the study and asked Dophis about the departure time tomorrow. Finally, he wrote a leave request to Barton and asked the coachman to take him to the law office tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Hobert and Dophis took a carriage to the northern suburbs of Backlund.

Dophis is about the same age as Christine, and his skin and hair color have obvious characteristics of the southern continent. He has a cold demeanor and is taciturn, more like a bodyguard than a valet.

Hobert tried to initiate several topics, but received no response from Dophis. He also lost the desire to chat and stared at the scenery outside the car window in a daze.

After leaving the city of Backlund, the carriage drove for more than an hour before arriving at the excavation site.

There is no longer the unique haze of Backlund, the sun is much brighter, and there is no pungent smell in the air.

The camp of Jacob's team was set up at the foot of a mountain. It was not a secret excavation similar to tomb robbing as Hobert had imagined, but a grand excavation of ruins, with dozens of tents alone.

It can be seen that Jacob hired many ordinary people to carry out excavation work such as moving earth and cleaning up antiques.

Jacob had already received the news and greeted Dophis and Hobert at the gate of the camp.

"Mr. Hobert, thank you for facilitating our cooperation with General Christine." Jacob said politely while shaking hands with Hobert.

Hobert smiled and said, "It was your sincerity that impressed my father."

He asked: "Won't the local government obstruct your actions?"

"We have legal archaeological excavation documents." Jacques said: "A few years ago, my team protected an archaeological team and formed a deep friendship with them."

Jacob then took Hobert and Dophis for a brief tour of the camp, and then took them to the excavation site behind the camp.

Relics of the Quaternary Period are buried underground, and workers have cleared a wide entrance.

A group of people entered a grand-looking building together. There was a line of words written on the inner wall of the building: Don't look at the rabbit; when encountering danger, it is more important to close your eyes than to escape.
