Mr. Barron owned hundreds of acres of land, employed a dozen farmers to work for him, and built a magnificent villa on his land, which showed that he was in good financial condition.

At the farmstead's stables, Hobert met Mr. Barron, who was grooming his beloved horse.

He looked to be in his thirties, tall and strong, with two beards that were common in the Kingdom of Rune.

Mr. Barron received Herbert warmly, and put down his work and invited him to the living room for tea.

After a brief pleasantries, Mr. Barron said what he needed "legal assistance", it turned out that he wanted to divorce his wife, but he did not want to divide the property equally with her, so he asked a "professional" like Hobart to help.

In Rune's Marriage Act, if the wife files for divorce, she will not receive any property, and in many cases only half of the dowry will be returned, but if the husband files for divorce, the wife has the right to claim half of the property.

The only exception to this is if one of the spouses betrays the marriage so that the other spouse can take the initiative in dividing the property by filing for divorce.

Hobert scolded the "scumbag" in his heart, but he had a warm smile on his face: "I understand, do you want your wife to take the initiative to file for divorce?" ”

No way, this is his job, who made Mr. Barron his client, and Hobart was mentally prepared for this when he first returned from the magistrate's court.

"In your opinion, I should be a hopelessly scumbag, right?" Mr. Barron stroked his forehead and said, "I love my wife very much, but she doesn't love me, and I can feel that she has always had someone else in her heart." Maybe that's why she didn't want to conceive my baby. ”

Mr. Barron then tells the story of himself and his wife, Penny, a female worker who came to the farm eight years ago, and who was very cheerful and lively when she was a teenager, which impressed Mr. Barron.

At that time, Mr. Barron had a happy family, but six years ago in the summer, his wife died of an illness, and Barron was sad for a long time, and it took a year or two for him to come out of the grief of losing his wife.

At that time, Penny, who was still cheerful and lively, gradually made Mr. Barron see the beauty of life again, so three years ago, Mr. Barron proposed to Penny.

At that time, Penny seemed a little reluctant, but Mr. Barron did not care about this, and directly called Penny's parents to discuss the marriage.

This made Penny's parents very happy, after all, Mr. Barron was a big man in the neighborhood.

After getting married, Mr. Barron wanted to have a child, but after three years of hard work, nothing came of it. And in these three years, Penny gradually became taciturn, not as lively and cheerful as before.

Mr. Barron also gradually lost patience with his wife, and until now, Mr. Barron and Penny could no longer get along, so Mr. Barron wrote to ask the law firm for help.

After hearing this story, Hobart did not know whether to praise Mr. Barron's courage, for in this day and age, it is common for a master to send a maid or maid away for a sum of money after forcing him to serve him.

It takes a lot of courage for a master and a servant to marry, and it takes courage for both the master and the servant.

From this point of view, Mr. Barron did love Penny, but no one asked Penny about her wishes in this marriage.

Hobert thought for a moment and said, "My suggestion, Mr. Barron, is that since you still love your wife deeply, it is better to give her some property that can support her in the event of a divorce, or give her a sum of money. In this way, it will not only establish a good image for you, but also avoid many troubles after marriage. ”

"I've got that in mind." "I intend to give Penny the wool processing workshop to which she will be profitable," said Mr. Barron. ”

Hobart understood that he could give a little property, but he could not divide the family property equally.

He said, "If you are willing to hire me to help you with this matter, I will come forward to talk to your wife." ”

Mr. Barron hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Okay, Mr. Hobert, I have to take this step, and I am willing to hire you as my lawyer to help me deal with this matter."

"Well, as for the pay, I've already spoken to Mr. Patton in my letter."

Hobart nodded, and Mr. Barron was willing to give a commission of 10 pounds for the matter.

This may sound like a small commission, but that's because of the high start of Hobart's career as a solicitor, with most commissions ranging from £10 to £20.

Entrustments such as Mr. Barron's are charged a percentage of Mr. Barron's assets only as a last resort to settle them in court.

Barton, of course, would not have personally dealt with such a small commission, and even the one who corresponded with Mr. Barron was also Barton's assistant.

When Hobart arrived, he prepared the standard contract, and after the two signed the contract, Hobart asked, "Where is Ms. Penny now?" ”

Mr. Barron lost the hearty smile he had at the stables, and he squeezed out a smile: "She is back to her parents' house today, and every once in a while she will go back to her parents' house for a few days, and when she returns, she will ......"

Hobert said, "I'd better go to Penny's parents' house and talk to her." ”

It is the wisest choice to talk to her when two people are separated.

"But ......," Hobert looked at his pocket watch, "it's a little late today, and it's not a good time to visit Ms. Penny, please give me the address of Ms. Penny's house, and I'll visit tomorrow morning." ”

Once he had the address, Hobert got up and took his leave, and as he had imagined, he had walked far to find a cab, and spent more than two hours the afternoon on the road.

The only good thing is that this is a commission from the processing office, and the fare office will reimburse you.

Thinking of reimbursement, Hobert suddenly thought of Old Neil, calculating that he already had a precursor of getting out of control at this time, and at next week's party, he had to find a way to remind "Mr. Ke" to see if he could still save Old Neil.

……

In the southern continent, as night quietly fell, Elliott carried a lantern to a clearing deep in the woods, where he first built a "spiritual wall" and then painted patterns, lit candles, and burned herbs as the "founder" instructed.

When everything was ready, he began to chant: "O Founder of order on earth;

"You are the lord of the kingdom of disorder;

"You are the master of the Bell of Order.

"Thy faithful servant prays for thy gaze;

"Accept His offering;

"Pray that you will open the gates of the kingdom."

After the words were recited, a violent wind suddenly blew in the "spiritual wall", and a black vortex suddenly appeared above the simple altar.

The whirlpool grew larger and larger, as if it were about to swallow everything around it, and as it was taller than the surrounding trees, two bronze gates appeared in the whirlpool.

Elliot was completely shocked by this scene, it turned out that this was the "gate of the kingdom of God"!
