Chapter Seventy-Five: The Vigilance of the Ancient Family
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, David came over with his co-workers.
His co-worker, Bob, was dirty and torn in his clothes, his hair was disheveled, and he was on crutches made of tree branches.
Hobert inquired in detail about what happened, and the process was very simple, that is, when Bob was working, one leg and one hand were caught in the machine, causing disability.
After listening to the client's account, Hobert made it clear: "Although Mr. Bob also made a mistake in this matter, it does not affect our claim. ”
He said to Bob, "But this case is still going to be difficult, and you need to be mentally prepared." ”
Bob was already a little disheartened, and he waved his arm, which was only half left: "Sir, I have nothing to lose now, and there will be no worse outcome than now." ”
Hober nodded: "Another point, if you want to win the lawsuit, everything is up to me!" ”
"No problem." Bob said, "I am very grateful to you for accepting my commission." ”
"If there are no problems, please sign the power of attorney." Hobert took out the contract that had been prepared a long time ago: "Because of the difficulty of this case, I will charge 18% of the compensation amount for the commission."
"Of course, if you can win the lawsuit, the money will be paid by the other party."
……
In the southern continent, there are no small towns.
Elliott was informed that he was going to follow Elder Calvin to the city of Crowlier to negotiate with the Vorsac Empire.
What puzzled him was that the other family members of his peers were all recognized elites, and he had just been promoted to Sequence 7, and it seemed that it was not his turn to participate in such an important operation.
Suspecting that his recent behavior had made the elders suspicious, he prayed to the Maker in his room before he had yet to leave, and reported his movements and speculations.
After lunch, Elliott and the others left the town in five carriages led by Calvin.
Not long after leaving the town, Elliott's eyes saw a majestic throne and a majestic figure: "Got it. ”
Elliott breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had any worries about the trip.
……
Beckland, 192 Blanca Street.
Hobart also thinks that Elliott's guess is right, and that a cursed family of extraordinary beings can't even be wary of this.
Then Hobart began to think about whether to let more people in the Balk family know about their existence.
In the previous raid of the Rune mercenaries, Elliott played a big role, and the "psychic necklace" he sacrificed was also very useful.
Especially when Hobart thought that he would play the role of "baron" and "earl" in the future, it would definitely be difficult for him to get a knighthood in Bakeland, but it was different in the Southern Continent, although it was also difficult to get a knighthood, but he could have the real power of a baron or earl.
Seriously developing the line of the Balk family must be very useful for future plays.
Therefore, Hobert is ready to support Elliott in a planned way, making him the strong man of the Balk family, and at the same time making him his own spokesperson in the Balk family.
In this way, he has to show his strength, and with the existence of a "disordered country", Hobert can project a powerful force, although only in order and distortion, but can solve many practical problems.
If it doesn't solve the problem, that's okay, it means that the great beings on the Iron Throne are not interested in their prayers, and they have the final say.
With such a decision, Hobert waited for the temptation of the elder named Calvin, and if nothing else, he would definitely find an opportunity to test Elliott.
It didn't matter, and now Hobert was concerned about whether there were any magical items that he could use at the weekend party. Don't know if you have enough money?
In fact, for Hobert now, the "psychic necklace" solves his shortcomings of low inspiration, and the "fighting ring" solves his shortcomings of poor skills, and he does not have the magical items he really wants.
But what if there's something good? There is no shortage of surprises in the extraordinary world.
In anticipation, Hobert arrived at the mercenary club early Sunday morning with all his belongings, and after practicing his gun, he waited for the party to start in the couch area.
At noon, there were more and more people in the sofa area, and Hobert also met the officer who had taken away the extraordinary characteristics of the "Secret Prayer Man" at the last gathering, and the two shook hands and had a brief conversation.
Through small talk, I learned that the other party was also going to collect a few things at today's party.
It was still half past one in the afternoon, and the meeting in the underground theater began.
Sure enough, after the two teams applied, some people began to sell the extraordinary characteristics of the "Hunter" and "Warrior" paths, and some people sold some magical items.
Several of them were familiar to Hobert, who were participants in the raid on the Southern Continent.
However, most of the items sold today are extraordinary traits and magical items of the combat type.
The extraordinary trait Hobert was not interested, and the combat magical items overlapped with the abilities of the "Fighting Ring", and Hobert did not make a move until the end of the trade session.
Hobert was not in a hurry, he estimated that there would be mercenaries selling loot in the next few weeks, and he learned from the small talk in the sofa area at noon that there was often something good going on in the future.
When it came to the exchange session, the captain of the mercenaries who went to the Southern Continent this time, Castor Augustus, stood up and said: "After this battle, there is a certain power vacuum in the territory of the warlord General Anthony, and if the Vorsack Empire does not fill this vacuum within a month, it is likely that a small war for the colony will occur." ”
Hobert hugged his arm: As far as I know, there are already people willing to fill this vacuum.
The "inside information" from Elliott, he certainly won't state at this party.
Custer took out another sketch: "Have any of you seen or heard of this strong man?" ”
Everyone looked at the sketch carefully, and it was a mysterious figure, sitting on a throne forged by a sword, looking solemn and sacred.
Hobert was stunned: This, this seems to be me!
"We encountered this strong man during this mission, but this strong man didn't show much malice towards us. Anyone who has seen this Excellency, or who can provide a valid clue, I will certainly give him a great reward. ”
Everyone noticed that Custer used the title "Your Excellency", indicating that the other party was strong enough for Custer to show enough respect.
Hobert said to himself, "You may never have dreamed that Your Excellency would sit here and watch you look amazed and bewildered.
Naturally, he won't provide clues, he is a rich man now, and there is no need to cause this trouble for the so-called "heavy reward".
Seeing that no one responded, Custer was a little disappointed, and he had a hunch that this must be the person who would stir up the extraordinary power of General Anthony's territory in the future.
If you can make friends while the other party has just appeared, it will definitely deal a heavy blow to the colonies of the Fusak Empire.
