Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

After Hobert got the clue about the Skeleton Lord from Valentine's notes, he immediately decided to tell Dopheus about the clue.

Firstly, it was because of the previous agreement to assassinate Backlund, and secondly, after Dopheus became a demigod, Hobert estimated that he could also benefit from it.

But Hobert found that when he told the location of the Skeleton Lord, something was wrong with Christine and Dophis' expressions.

Hobert asked: "Is there anything wrong with the contents of the notes?"

Kristine asked back: "Are you sure that the 'saint' who went to explore the ruins with you has not touched this notebook?"

Hobert was stunned: "I'm sure!"

Kristen was silent for three seconds before smiling and saying: "Dophis, this is your chance to advance, but now is not the time to deal with the Skeleton Lord."

Dophis nodded: "I know."

Seeing that Hobert still had doubts on his face, Christine smiled and said, "Your clues coincide with something we are planning."

Hobert said "Oh", so they suspected that Azik knew about their plan.

He had nothing to worry about, because he knew that even if Azik knew about their plan, Azik wouldn't bother to take care of it as long as it wasn't harmful to nature.

This topic ends here. Christine talked about the geography and culture of Colson County in the Kingdom of Feneport: "Although this county is all mountainous, there used to be a very prosperous waterway there, but more than fifty years ago, , that channel was suddenly interrupted.

“There are varying opinions on the cause of the interruption, with some saying there was an earthquake that diverted the river.

“Some people say that the belief in the evil god appeared, causing the Kingdom of Feneport and the Church of the Earth Mother to give up there.

"I have heard a reliable news, which should be the closest to the truth: earthquakes and river diversions did occur, but many strange things also happened along with it. In order to reopen the waterway, a demigod from the Kingdom of Feneport died in Colson County. Both the royal family and the church believed that reopening the waterway would involve a huge cost and was not cost-effective, so this area was basically abandoned.

“Currently Colson County is where the Kingdom of Feneport exiles prisoners and gives fiefdoms to some ‘false’ viscounts and barons.

"For example, if someone has made a meritorious service and the royal family wants to make him a baron, but they don't want to give him a land, they will make him a baron in Colson County. The baron who was granted a title in Colson County knows that it is not a good place, and he does not want to give him a land. He will go to his own fiefdom and get a title in the city of Feneport.

"It is said that over the past few decades, Colson County has become a lawless land."

In this era, there was no Internet, and there was no way to obtain cultural information about a place. Therefore, whenever Hobert heard this kind of information, he listened very carefully.

After chatting for a few more words, Hobert took his leave and returned to the bedroom to rest.

In the study, Dophis asked Christine: "When are you going to tell Hobert?"

"Wait a moment." Christine said, "Let him choose whether he wants to participate or not."

…

Perhaps because of seeing the corpse of the ancient god of death, Hobert's astral body and spiritual body were greatly shocked, which gave him another night of nightmares.

Sometimes I dreamed that I was being chased by a black dog spirit beast, and sometimes I dreamed that I was chased by the corpse of the ancient god of death. The Skeleton Lord, the coffins I met in the spirit world, and some of the people he killed also joined in the fun.

It was almost dawn before Hobert fell asleep a little more peacefully.

But today he needed to get up early. After a brief breakfast, Hobert yawned and came to the law office early.

Jessica had been waiting in front of Hobert's office holding the information. After seeing Hobert, she finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Lawyer Hobert, this is the information you want."

Hobert didn't come yesterday, and she was afraid that Hobert would be late today.

Hobert took a few glances and said, "Very good, let's go to court with me."

Today is the court date for the case of Ms. Emma, ​​the street girl.

Jessica was a little worried and said: "Your status..."

This case has attracted media attention again. After all, many newspapers like this kind of sexy news. Although Jessica knows that Hobert has no contact with those street girls at all, it does not affect the media’s speculation and compilation in this regard. .

Hobert smiled: "It doesn't matter. Didn't the defendant not hire a lawyer?"

Amid Jessica's concerns, the two men came to the magistrates' court together.

Originally, the Magistrate Court did not take the case seriously and arranged a random court.

However, on the day of the trial, a large number of ladies with coquettish clothes and charming eyes showed up, as well as many reporters who asked to observe.

Those ladies found several clients who worked in the court, so the case was tried in the largest magistrate court in Backlund.

This place can accommodate two to three hundred people to listen, but there are still not enough seats to listen. Many people stand in the corridors, doorways, and outside windows to listen.

When Hobert and Jessica arrived at the court, the main entrance was already blocked. Fortunately, the two were quick and climbed into the court through the window, almost missing the court session.

The plaintiff Emma and the defendant Wendell had already arrived, and Emma greeted Hobert with a smile to sit next to her.

On the other side, the defendant Wendell couldn't see enough, looking around at a room full of gorgeous girls.

Soon, the judge took his seat, and after confirming that Wendell did not need a lawyer, the judge announced that the court was opening.

Hobert first elaborated on Wendell's crime. Although it was just a brief explanation, it aroused public outrage and everyone began to abuse Wendell.

The judge banged his gavel for a long time to maintain order, and then Wendell spoke.

This middle-aged man in his thirties was very arrogant: "People have sued me more than once, but without exception, they all failed.

"I'll say it again, prostitution is not considered legal income and is not protected by the law. You can't convict me at all!

"That delicious paralegal from before couldn't win the case. You, Hobert, no matter how famous you are, unless you can change the laws of Loen Kingdom, you can't even hope to win the case."

These words triggered a new round of abuse from everyone. As a Loen native, Hobert couldn't even understand what some of the street girls were scolding.

This made him marvel at the diversity of languages.

The judge's gavel was almost broken, but he still couldn't silence everyone.

After Hobert and Jessica's loud persuasion, everyone calmed down.

There were very few people in the Magistrate Court. The judge, who had witnessed this scene for the first time, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Hobert: "Plaintiff's lawyer, the defendant is right. I really can't convict him."

Hobert smiled and said: "Your Honor, we might as well change our thinking. I will accuse the defendant of fraud!"

No one in the gallery, nor the plaintiff Emma, ​​nor the defendant Wendell, understood what it meant, but the judge's eyes lit up.

Jessica's eyes almost lit up, and she muttered: "I've learned it, I've learned it, and I can still operate like this."
