Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Hobert first wrote a letter to Bob in the workhouse, informing him of the court date.

After processing these two letters, Hobert stayed in his seat in a daze until get off work.

Over dinner, Hobert told his family that he had rented a townhouse at 192 Calle Blanca.

So in the morning of the next day, Monlisa took the housekeeper and several maids to No. 192. First, she asked the maid to clean the house thoroughly and asked the housekeeper to buy some furniture.

While supervising the work personally, Monlisa told Hobert: "I discussed it with your father yesterday, and we will help you pay 30 pounds of rent every year.

"When you become a barrister, I think renting a house will no longer be a burden on you."

Hobert knew this was a good intention and did not refuse. He planned to wait for Christine or his adoptive mother's birthday to give them some expensive gifts.

After all, his current cash has reached 943 pounds. His income is already higher than that of many barristers.

Moreover, the main materials and magic potion formulas of Sequence 7 and Sequence 6 do not cost money. There seems to be no place to spend a lot of money recently.

The only possible place to spend money may be if Hobert intends to use extraordinary medicine to nourish his spirituality.

Although the "State of Disorder" helped him remove the spiritual damage caused by the black gloves, Hobert was always a little worried and wanted to find time to ask Viscount Gray Lint if he had any prescription for nourishing his spirituality.

At around ten o'clock, Monlisa left with the housekeeper and maids. Hobert sat in an easy chair, looked at the spotless rental house and took a deep breath of contentment.

What Hobert likes about this era is that he doesn't have to clean up after himself.

Then he began to reflect on his daily life. Needless to say, the action that had just ended had achieved a lot. The biggest gain was getting the ownership of the "Teleporting Stone Statue".

At the same time, we also gained the initiative to cooperate with official extraordinary people, which provided a good model for future cooperation.

Moreover, a lot of anti-divination processing has been done, so there should be no problem in interfering with the other party's "astrologer".

Then the most important thing next is to think about how to act as a "barbarian" and digest the potion as quickly as possible.

Based on the performance of "Lawyer", Hobert summarized some experience in acting. It is best to have some ideas for acting first and then practice it. In this way, the speed of summarizing the "acting rules" may be faster.

So what is a savage?

Through previous channeling, Hobert ruled out the "savage" option.

In other words, you don’t have to go to the wilderness to play as a barbarian.

So what is barbarism?

vulgar?

Unreasonable?

Like to use force?

Hobert frowned. This didn't seem to be the essence of "barbarian".

The core of a "lawyer" is to be good at using rules and exploiting loopholes, so a "barbarian" should have a certain connection with this core. This is in line with the law of "acting".

For example, he remembered that one of the rules of play that connected the various sequences of "Soothsayer" was: secrecy.

There is also "reverence for fate" and so on. In short, the names of the potions may not be related, but the playing rules hidden behind them must be related.

Following this line of thinking, Hobert thought that the antonym of "barbarism" is "civilization", and then his thoughts suddenly became enlightened!

Civilization represents order and rules.

Barbarism represents challenging these orders and breaking these rules.

Hobert nodded with satisfaction. This idea is good. You can try it if you have a chance.

After lunch, Hobert returned to the law practice.

After being in a daze for a while, Hobert felt bored. He couldn't help but sigh: When working, he always wanted to rest, but when he did rest, he felt a little bored, and he even felt a little guilty.

Hobert shook his head. In that case, let's find something to do.

He thought about it, and it seemed that there was something he really needed to do. Bill's case would go to trial next Thursday. Before the trial, he needed to communicate with the plaintiff to understand the amount of compensation requested by the other party.

There is another difference between this case and Bruce's case. Bruce's case was in response to the prosecution's complaint, while Bill's case was that the tobacco dealer accused Bill of drunk driving.

Since there were no plans for this afternoon, it was better to visit the plaintiff. So Hobert found the document recording the plaintiff's address and asked the firm's driver to take him to see the plaintiff.

The plaintiff's name was Kate, a somewhat obese middle-aged man. The tobacco company he ran seemed quite small, occupying two floors of an office building.

The first floor is a product display area and also retail.

The second floor is the business area, with more than a dozen salesmen and several clerical staff.

Kate was polite to Hobert, but he demanded 100 pounds in compensation, not even a penny less.

He smoked a cigarette and said with a smile: "Lawyer Hobert, I think this is fate. That villain has been running rampant on the Tasok River for a long time. Since he ran into my hands, I must give him a lesson." ! Not only do I have to pay compensation, I also want him to go to jail!”

Hobert said: "Since you believe in fate, you should know that fate is fair. Bill has never caused such a big loss to you. If the compensation you ask for is too excessive, it will bring you bad luck."

"I will not debate these issues with a lawyer." Kate said: "Of course I know that you rely on your words to make a living."

He said: "But I want to say, based on my knowledge of occultism... Oh, yes, I am a occultist enthusiast.

"According to my knowledge of occult science, fate is never fair. Every gift of good luck means that someone else will be unlucky.

"Bill is obviously the unlucky one!"

Since the other party liked occultism, Hobert chatted about occultism with him. Kate's occult knowledge seemed to be more biased towards folk witchcraft, and there were many misinterpretations and extreme knowledge.

Although the two people chatted quite speculatively, Kate was a qualified businessman. No matter what Hobert said, the other party had no intention of lowering the claim.

Hobert did not use his ability to "distort" the other party's thoughts, because his "distortion" did not last long, and Kate was able to recover her thoughts before the trial.

Moreover, Hobert was quite confident about this case, so there was no need to do such unnecessary things.

After chatting for a while, Hobert stood up to say goodbye. When he went downstairs and reached the door, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance named Gal.

Gal smiled and said: "Mr. Hobert, I didn't expect to meet you here."

He was carrying a box in one hand and a small glass bottle in the other.

It seems that Mr. Kate is really a occult enthusiast, otherwise he would not have any contact with Gal who sells occult materials.

Hobert greeted him with a smile and took a closer look at the small glass bottle: "Is this the powder of black sparrow flower?"

"Your vision is admirable." Gal explained: "There are herbs in the box that conflict with the blackbird flower. Even if they are put in glass bottles, it won't work, so I had to hold the blackbird flower alone."

Hobert was stunned for a second or two because he recalled that the "Secret Prayer" potion formula that he had "captured" from Zachary earlier used black sparrow powder.

Black bird flower is a rarely used occult material and herb. At least among the potion formulas he knows, only the "Secret Prayer" formula uses black bird flower.

But Hobert soon returned to normal: "We'll talk when we have time."

After getting on the carriage, Hobert said to the coachman: "Go to the 'Gaal's Herbal Shop' at No. 51 Henry Street."
