"It's not that serious." The defendant's lawyer smiled: "This is just an ordinary work-related injury case, let's not make things more complicated." ”

"yes, you're used to not treating people as human beings." Hobert said: "You think this work-related injury case should be handled like this, this is the saddest part. ”

The defendant's lawyer waved his hand: "Okay, let's talk about something practical."

"Even if you were to sue Mr. Arnold for intentional injury, the chances of you winning the case were low, so it would be better to leave it at that.

"How about 200 pounds? This is far beyond Mr. Arnold's obligations. ”

Hobert shook his head: "1000 pounds." ”

The defendant's lawyer turned pale: "Your request will make it impossible for us to continue the conversation." ”

"Okay, farewell." Hobert opened the car door and helped Bob out of the car.

Baker, who had not spoken, said gloomily: "Mr. Arnold will use all his connections to make you lose the case!" Don't expect to get 1 penny! ”

Hobart smiled, "Why do I think you're scared?" Why do your words sound so inadequate? ”

Baker snorted coldly, closed the door without saying a word, and with a wave of the coachman's whip, the carriage slowly left.

Bob, who picked up his "crutch", suddenly said, "Mr. Hobert, if you had agreed to their request just now, I wouldn't have blamed you." ”

Hobart smiled as he waved to the rental carriage, "People always have to be a little more aggressive. ”

Arriving at the Obsidian Bar in the North End, Hobert asks Bob to wait outside the door, and he comes in and asks for a beer, gives the bartender a tip, and asks the bartender to ask Ms. Dalie to come over.

This place is very close to the Black Thorn Security Company, and Dai Li came after ten minutes: "We meet too often, is this the way you deliberately approached me?" ”

Hobert smiled: "Ma'am, I have no plans to fall in love now. ”

"What a young man who doesn't know how to cherish." Dai Li smiled and said, "Tell me, what's the matter with me this time?" ”

Hobart got straight to the point: "I would like to ask you to send my client to the workhouse of the Church of the Night. ”

Dai Li frowned, "It's not my area of responsibility. ”

"Isn't it your job to help the followers of the Goddess with their difficulties?"

"Well, well, I'm trying to argue with a 'lawyer'!" Dali asked, "What's so special about him?" ”

"Ma'am, Beckland is full of ordinary people."

"And why do you sympathize with him?"

"It's not what you think." "I sent him to the workhouse, but I needed him to live," said Hobert. ”

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "I have my purpose. ”

"Oh?" Daly tilted her head to look at Hobert, "Really?" ”

The two of them chatted a little and came to the door of the bar together, and Hobert handed Bob to Daly.

After Hobart got into the carriage and left, Daley asked Bob, "Tell me what happened to you." ”

"Huh? Good, good, ma'am. ”

……

Back at the law firm, Hobert began to prepare materials to be submitted to the formal court, and the next step was to wait for the court to accept it and announce the start of the trial.

After all this, Hobart stretched his waist, and finally had a little leisure, he looked out the window at the scenery, and considered what food to buy after work to treat himself.

Fishing time flies, and after work, Hobert buys some pumpkin bread and dessert to reward himself for his performance in the magistrate's court today.

After having dinner in a pleasant atmosphere, Christine called Herbert to the study: "I have already put Domphis in contact with Jacob Otto, and before that Dophys has done his research, and what Jacobs have found is indeed a Quaternary ruin. ”

Hobart was stunned for a moment before remembering that Jacob was the one who claimed to have discovered the remains of the Quaternary and had teamed up at mercenary club parties twice.

On his second team-up, Hobert also helped him convey his desire to ask Brigadier Christine for help.

And Dophys is Christine's personal valet, notoriously incompetent, but Christine keeps him by his side.

Hobert had long guessed whether he would be an extraordinary, and since Christine would send him to do preliminary research and contact with Jacob, he must be an extraordinary person who was loyal to Christine.

Christine said: "Tomorrow Dophis will officially join Jacob's team, and you will also go with it, and you will often show up in the future, and at the end of the day, you will also be eligible to share the income from the ruins." ”

And this kind of good thing! Hober nodded: "Okay." ”

Of course, he knew that this was not Jacob's kindness, it was a brigadier general's face.

Christine took a deep breath and said, "Rex did explore some ancient ruins after returning from the Southern Continent, but I only accompanied him to explore two places, not including the one discovered by Jacob's team. Perhaps, his relics can be found in the ruins. ”

Hobert didn't have any "feelings" about this, after all, he was very unfamiliar with this "biological father".

After a brief conversation, Hobert left the study and asked Dophes what time he would leave tomorrow, and at last he wrote a note to Barton asking the coachman to take him to the law office tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Hobert and Dophes rode in a carriage to the northern suburbs of Beckland.

Dophys is about the same age as Christine, with a distinctly Southern Continent skin and hair color, and he has a cold, taciturn demeanor, more like a bodyguard than a valet.

Hobert tried to start several conversations, but he didn't get a response from Dopheis, and he lost the desire to chat, looking out the car window in a daze.

After leaving the city of Beckland, the carriage traveled for more than an hour to reach the site of the excavation.

There is no more smog that characterizes Beckland, the sun is much brighter, and there is no pungent smell in the air.

Jacob's team's camp was set at the foot of a mountain, and it didn't look like a stealthy excavation similar to a tomb robbery as Hobart imagined, but a massive excavation of the ruins, with dozens of tents alone.

It can be seen that Jacob hired a lot of ordinary people, who were carrying out excavation work such as transporting earth and cleaning antiques.

Jacob had already gotten the news and greeted Dophes and Hobart at the camp gate.

"Mr. Hobert, thank you for facilitating our collaboration with General Christine." Jacob shook Hobert's hand and said politely.

Hobert smiled, "It was your sincerity that touched my father. ”

He asked: "Won't the local government stand in the way of your actions?" ”

"We have legal archaeological excavation documents." "A few years ago my team protected an archaeological team and formed a strong friendship with them. ”

Jacob then took Hobert and Dophes on a brief tour of the camp, and then took them to the excavation site behind the camp.

The remains of the Quaternary period are buried underground, and workers have cleared out a wide entrance.

The group entered a magnificent-looking building with a line written on the interior wall: Don't look at the rabbit; When you are in danger, it is more important than running away to close your eyes.

The signature is: Rex Heller.
