Chapter 176: Asker

One of the servants ran back excitedly with an arrow through the body of the blue-crowned, bowed to the Privy Councillor, and handed the arrow to her with both hands, who simply said lightly: "Michael, bring them the arrow." ”

In the following minutes, Robert Althorp, a professional who frequently attends the court's various civil and social cases, and helps clients resolve disputes and their corresponding claims, fully demonstrates his extremely high linguistic skills, and applies almost all the words he knows that can be used to praise women to Isabel Walton.

After praise, there is more curiosity, and the derivative of curiosity is inquiry. When Isabel was already annoyed by Robert, she said solemnly, "Hey, sir, was your last name Allthorp?" ”

Robert, who was on the horse, was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Yes, Miss Isabel." Are you interested in knowing about my family? ”

"No, I have no interest in knowing about your family at all. I'm just going to suggest that you change your last name. ”

"Really? Miss Isabel, I would like to hear any advice about me from your mouth. ”

"I'd suggest you'd better change your last name to 'Asker', because you're always asking endless questions, aren't you?"

"I am very grateful to Miss Isabel for her advice. Well, this surname not only represents my discovery of facts that happened in the past in the course of the litigation, but also establishes the connection between fault and responsibility, crime and punishment through the process of litigation, so as to convey to my attorney the substance of how to behave. ”

Isabel looked at the lawyer with a look of extreme disgust, and said solemnly, "Excuse me, sir." I now need to make a feasible judgment about a potential form of a thing, both inside and outside. Because the occurrence of this potential form can cause varying degrees of damage and undesirable consequences. ”

She added: "When this consequence is beyond our ability to tolerate natural things and social things, I need to take certain measures against it to maintain the balance in the current time, you know what I'm talking about, right? ”

Robert looked at her with his mouth stammered and tried to say something, but only said, "Uh, Miss Isabel, I... I'm interested in lawyers other than ... Career, perhaps... Without your extensive knowledge. ”

"Sir, I'm going to do my duty." While the other party was still in a state of mental idiocy, Isabel rode forward to Sir Augustine's side.

No one knew what she was thinking, but the word "Asker" suddenly came to mind in her high-speed brain, and in the dark, the unusually shrewd litigator actually listened to her perfunctory words. In the "Quest for Grace" campaign launched a few months later, the word "Asker" was used very loudly as his surname.

After entering Lancaster Castle, the group was soon guided by a servant to Sir Roland's drawing-room. As Robert sat down cautiously, he looked around the interior of the imposing living room, decorated in the Romanesque architectural style.

Seeing the low cupola makes him feel that the arched sky is closely integrated with the earth on the one hand, and at the same time expresses its separation from the real earth in the form of an upward uplift. However, the semicircular windows on the wall behind him are small and high above the ground. Doing so will undoubtedly make the interior of the living room less lit and dimly lit, but it may make it show a mysterious and transcendent mood.

Illuminated by several oil lamps on the walls on both sides of the living room, the paintings, sculptures and marble panels that belong to the whole building show the inseparable relationship between art and architecture. While the whole living room gives people a solid and powerful impression, it also makes people feel that the atmosphere here is particularly mysterious and serious, and a simple and dignified sense of tranquility rises spontaneously from the heart.

Sir Roland Wadsworth, accompanied by his servants, soon came to the drawing-room. When Sir Augustine had finished introducing him to the solicitors from the City of London, Sir Roland looked at Sir Augustine's face in astonishment and said, "Sir, your presence makes me feel that Mr. Althope's presence may be a matter worthy of my attention?" ”

Augustine just smiled softly and said, "Sir, I came to Lancaster Castle as Mr. Althopp's bodyguard. Whether or not your words are worthy of your attention depends on the facts you will hear. ”

Sir Roland only nodded, and instead smiled at Robert and said, "Sir, please be seated." As soon as he turned around, Jazz caught a glimpse of Isabel standing not far behind the group. He hesitated, then turned to stare at Isabel's face.

Jazz didn't speak, just bowed his head and walked to his chair in deep thought and turned to sit down. Then he calmly said to the London lawyer sitting on his right: "Sir, you must have walked a long way from Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, and Richmondshire to my place, right?" ”

Robb nodded and replied humbly, "Yes, Sir, and I appreciate Sir for his concern for me. Only, why would Sir know that I had been to these counties? ”

"Sir, every one of the counties of the North is very interested in the reason why you have come to the North. As this interest continues, the nobles, knights, squires, and poor tenant farmers will become interested in you personally. ”

"Sir, I see. I think that my arrival will allow the simple people of the North to plant the fallen banner of 'Christ's Five Wounds' on every land in the North once again. ”

"You have said very well, sir, though I have seen a look of weariness in your eyes. I am sure that in tomorrow's meeting you will tell me in detail how you have defended the banner of the 'Five Wounds of Christ'. ”

"Thank you Sir for your concern."

"Maybe you didn't even have time for dinner, did you?" At this point, Sir asked with concern.

"Yes, Sir." Robb, who was already hungry, bowed his head and said.

Sir Chong, who stood near the door of the living room, commanded, "Leonard, when you take my guests to rest, and prepare some food and ale for your husband by the way." ”

The servant promised, "Yes, my lord. ”

When the guests from the south had followed the servants out of the drawing-room, Sir Roland said with a smile on his face, "Sir Augustine, take a seat, you can make this your home." Oh, I mean the near future, hahaha! ”

Augustine pointed to Isabel as he sat down, and said to him, "Sir, this is my daughter Isabel, and her duty is the same as mine, as a guard to Mr. Lawyer. ”
