Chapter 592 Old man Franklin's commission

"Brother Musk, here's the thing. I have a niece who was born in Avalon and married stockbroker Richard Jones."

"Richard Jones was fishing on a seaside holiday last summer when he slipped off a speedboat and fell into the sea to his death."

"Mr. Jones, who died young, left his wife and children with an inheritance worth more than 200 million pounds, plus a manor."

"As soon as Mrs. Jones finished her funeral, David Fuller, her husband's former partner, came to her door and took out a gambling agreement signed by Mr. Jones before his death, claiming that he was entitled to the entire estate of the partner, and threatened to Throw out the widows and orphans of the Jones family."

"Of course Mrs. Jones couldn't bear it, so she went to court to sue Fuller for fraud."

"The court appraised the VAM agreement and believed that the agreement was genuine, but the terms of the specific clauses were irregular and ambiguous, and there was indeed a suspicion of fraud. In the end, it was ruled that both parties to the lawsuit should share Mr. Jones' estate equally."

"Neither Mrs Jones nor David Fuller can accept this outcome and continue to appeal."

"After some wrangling, the Supreme Court accepted Fuller's application and agreed to a judicial duel between the prosecution and the defense to completely resolve this estate dispute."

"The trial judge was sympathetic to the fact that the plaintiff's parties were orphans and widows, and allowed Mrs. Jones to hire a registered 'judicial knight' to represent the duel."

"David Fuller is an old, fat, greedy ghost. He is very scheming and has found a dueling agent early on."

"Mrs. Jones never expected that this lawsuit, which was clearly her own, would end up in a judicial duel, so she hasn't found a good attorney yet."

Old man Franklin sighed, and went on:
"Mrs. Jones is my relative after all. I can't watch their orphans and widows being bullied by the old fox Fuller."

"Brother Musk, you once fought on behalf of Judge Colt and defeated the well-known duelist Levante in the duel arena. I believe in your character and strength."

"If you are willing to represent Mrs. Jones' case, no matter what the final result of this judicial duel is, in addition to the reward Mrs. Jones gives you, I will give you three additional magic scrolls. What do you think of this business?"

Gao Fei wanted to agree immediately.

However, thinking of the character design of the little brother Musk, the play that should be performed must be performed in place.

"Old sir, I sympathize with Mrs. Jones's experience, and I hate the profiteer Fuller who took advantage of the fire, but I have to say that before I fully understand the truth of the case, I can't make a decision based on your one-sided words."

"I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. I have a principle. Only when I am sure that the client has been wronged will I show my sword and seek justice for the client!"

After hearing Gao Fei's words, the old man Franklin put away his smile, with sincere appreciation in his eyes.

"Brother Musk, there are very few young people who insist on principles like you these days. Compared with those lawyers who take money to do things and don't care about right and wrong, you, a judicial knight, do have the character of a knight-errant knight!"

Old man Franklin took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Goofy.

"I respect your principles. After you investigate the case, if you feel that Mrs. Jones deserves sympathy, you can go to her with my business card. I believe she will offer you a reasonable reward."

Gao Fei accepted the business card, coughed twice, and asked with a smile: "Mr., what kind of spells are the three magic scrolls you promised me?"

"As long as it is a spell that you can use, you can choose it." Franklin replied lightly.

"You have everything I want?"

"Even if you don't have one, I can get it for you."

"I don't mean to offend, but what you said sounds like you're bragging." Gao Fei couldn't help questioning.

The old man Franklin glanced at him, and said lightly: "Young man, I have a student named Joan Vida, do you know what that means?"

"Sorry, I don't know your student."

Goofy told the truth.

In this module, there is indeed no such a No. [-] NPC.

Old Man Franklin sighed, as if pitying his ignorance.

"Young man, if you want to make a name for yourself in the mage profession, you will recognize Dr. Vader sooner or later."

Dr. Vader...

Gao Fei's heart suddenly moved.

The Dr. Vida that the old man mentioned is probably the father of Inanna, the director of Tiangong's module design department, right?
However, how could the characters in reality be related to the NPCs in the game?
Unless Director Yin intentionally spoofed and designed a character based on his father in the game.

This is not impossible!
Gao Fei felt that this was reasonable, so he said to the old man Franklin: "I'm sorry, I'm ignorant. If I have a chance in the future, I must ask Dr. Vader for advice."

"I wish you had the chance."

Old man Franklin fumbled in the storage bag again, and took out a crumpled thing that was half a foot long.

Gao Fei thought it was a dry branch at first, but after taking a closer look, his scalp felt numb.

On the top of that branch-like object, there is actually a dried eyeball inlaid!

"Old man, what is this?" Gao Fei resisted the chills and asked.

"An eye stalk, on the day I retired, Joan gave me this little gift as a souvenir."

The old man Franklin looked at his eyes, as if he was remembering something.

"Brother Musk, do you have a magic pet?"

"Not yet." Gao Fei replied truthfully.

"It's rare for a mage to not summon a magic pet." The old man Franklin turned his head to look at Gao Fei with strange eyes, "Are you afraid of pets too?"

"Afraid of keeping pets? Haha, you old man can really joke, how can there be such a weird person in the world?! I just haven't found a magic pet that suits me!"

"That's good." The old man Franklin handed the eye stalk to Gao Fei, "This small gift is for you, it can be regarded as an advance payment for entrusting you to represent the Jones family's inheritance dispute. You can use this eye stalk as a medium to summon A powerful magic pet."

The carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road, and the signboard of Custis's firm was in sight.

Gao Fei took the beholder with confusion, and couldn't help but ask the old man Franklin: "This eye stalk...will it summon the beholder?"

If this is the case, the old man is doing harm on purpose.

"Of course it's not a real beholder, no one can accept the giant-eyed tyrant as a magic pet!"

Old man Franklin laughed.

"But your guess is not entirely wrong, after all, subspecies beholders are also beholders."

Gao Fei nodded half-understood, bid farewell to this strange old man, turned around, got off the carriage, and returned to his office.

　History: The Hellfire Club
　　Hellfire Club (Hellfire Club) is the name of several high-level social clubs established for the upper-class gentlemen in Britain and Ireland in the 18th century. It generally refers to the Brotherhood of St. Francis of Wycombe established by Sir Francis Dashwood.

　　The clubs were anecdotally known as the home of "special hobbies" who were often involved in politics but also engaged in behavior considered immoral by society at large.

　　Dashwood's club activities often included imitation of religious ceremonies, exhibitions of pornographic objects, heavy drinking, adultery, and banquets.

　　The club's motto: Do ​​what thou wilt.

　　In 1783, even the Prince of Wales became an honorary member.King George IV (then Prince of Wales) on his royal visit to Scotland left the club with a snuff box filled with body hair from his mistresses.

　　……

　　While in England in 1758, Benjamin Franklin participated in several Hellfire Club activities as a non-member.

　　However, some writers and historians believe that Franklin was actually a spy.
