Mystery: The Return of the Stars

April 2, Sunday.

Hasta got up at 8 o'clock, got dressed, had breakfast, and took a carriage to Backlund University.

In the carriage, Hasta quietly thought about the extraordinary party that would be held tonight.

He had already collected all the extraordinary materials needed for the Barbarian Potion formula, except for a solid unicorn crystal of the Earth Rhino.

The extraordinary party at the Brave Bar was too slow to collect materials, and there was no news of the solid unicorn crystal of the Earth Rhino.

In addition, there was a lady who was also about to be promoted to a Barbarian who was also collecting this extraordinary material, so it was difficult for him to collect it in a short time.

In order to get the Barbarian Potion as soon as possible, he planned to attend the extraordinary party held by Mr. A tonight.

Although the people of the Aurora Club were more crazy, their level was much higher than the extraordinary party at the Brave Bar. It should not be too difficult to purchase the solid unicorn crystal of the Earth Rhino at the party.

He could prepare a little more gold pounds for this.

What made him more embarrassed at the moment was how to hide his true identity as much as possible at the extraordinary party held by Mr. A.

Although it is quite normal for a noble to embark on the Black Emperor Path, he does not want too many people to know his position before he becomes really strong.

Of course, he has another choice, which is to seek help from Greg.

As the heir of Duke Negan, he is not short of the protection of extraordinary people. Maybe he is also an extraordinary person on the Black Emperor Path.

Although the solid unicorn crystal of the earth rhino is difficult to buy, the Greg family must have a lot of stock.

Hasta thought for a long time and decided to put seeking help from Greg as the last alternative and try his luck with Mr. A first.

The carriage passed all the way and soon arrived at Backlund University.

Professor Wayne had been waiting in the classroom one step ahead, and was writing the legal knowledge to be taught today on the blackboard.

"Have you finished reading the three books I recommended to you last time? Remember them?" Professor Wayne asked casually while writing on the blackboard.

"Yes, I have remembered them."

"Let me test you."

Professor Wayne began to ask about the contents of the three legal books to test whether Hasta really mastered the knowledge in them.

After asking seven or eight questions in a row, Hasta answered them one by one. Professor Wayne nodded with satisfaction and put down the chalk in his hand.

"Very good, your memory is not bad, and you are indeed suitable to be a lawyer."

Hasta smiled and said, "It's all because of the teacher's good teaching."

After the last incident in the workhouse, he also followed Lecturer Foren to call Professor Wayne teacher, which is a more intimate name.

"I will accept this compliment. Emperor Roselle once said: The disciple is better than the master."

Hasta's smile froze slightly, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart, how come Emperor Roselle is everywhere.

Also, the teacher's words mean to praise me, not you.

"Come on, let's start today's class."

After chatting for a few words, Professor Wayne entered the teaching state.

After finishing today's study, Hasta did not leave the classroom, but stayed in his seat to copy the knowledge points on the blackboard.

This made him feel like he was dreaming back to high school. Every time after class, the teacher would end the get out of class early and leave them a blackboard of knowledge points for them to copy.

They even said that at this time, people from other classes were rushing to the cafeteria, and the road would be very crowded, and they would get hurt if they were not careful. It would be better to leave school ten minutes later to avoid the peak period.

This sentence sounds reasonable, but other teachers also think so.

Hasta silently copied the content on the blackboard, took a break, and looked at the time. It was 11:40. After waiting for about ten minutes, Lecturer Foren appeared.

"Mr. Hasta, please forgive me for wasting some time today."

"This time is just right. I just finished my homework."

The two smiled and exchanged a few words. Lecturer Foren went to the cafeteria with Hasta for dinner.

It has been a week since the last Greg banquet ended. In the past week, Hasta often enjoyed lunch with Lecturer Foren.

The two were both students valued by Professor Wayne. They got along well in many aspects, especially Lecturer Foren was good at chatting and telling stories.

He could tell a plain legal story in an exceptionally exciting and attractive way.

He can also disassemble complicated legal cases in the simplest way so that people can easily understand the meaning.

He is really suitable to be a law lecturer.

In addition to these two points, every afternoon, as long as Lecturer Foren has free time, he will take Hasta to the Cherwood District to be a legal aid, helping some poor people who cannot afford lawyers for free.

This move is very helpful for Hasta to digest the lawyer potion. In a few days, he should be able to completely digest the lawyer potion.

Cherwood District.

There are a large number of Loen civilians living here. Although their lives are not rich, they can basically maintain food and clothing, and they are not as chaotic and poor as the East District.

Lecturer Foren and Hasta arrived at two o'clock in the afternoon by steam train.

As a lawyer with a strong sense of justice, Lecturer Foren once established a legal association with other lawyers, called the Association for the Study of Justice.

When Hasta first heard the name of this association, he wanted to change it directly to the Justice League.

After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. After all, Lecturer Folen and the others are just ordinary people. It is better to leave the fight against crime to the seven major churches.

The Justice Research Association has a secret base in the Jowood District, which is difficult for ordinary people to know.

According to Lecturer Folen, this is not an ordinary base, but a place of hope for the future laws of Loen.

It is the soil for the birth of justice and the spear for the implementation of fairness.

Well, it is actually an ordinary law firm.

The entire Justice Research Association, including Hasta who has not yet officially joined, has only five people.

Lecturer Folen and Hasta came to the law firm. The other three people were busy with their own affairs for the time being. Today, the two of them will provide legal aid to those in need.

Hasta chose the place for legal aid near the Holy Wind Church. Originally, Lecturer Folen wanted to set the location near the poorhouse, after all, there were more people who needed help there.

But this proposal was directly rejected by Hasta.

A place like the poorhouse is impossible to be safer than the area near the Holy Wind Church.

Although Storm Pigeon is sometimes very irritable, he will never stand by and watch when he needs to take action, and he still feels safe.

Moreover, if he encounters an irresistible force, he can still shout His name and seek His help.

The clergy of the nearby Holy Wind Church knew the purpose of Hasta and Lecturer Foren, so they came specially to provide them with some help.

In the two temporarily rented rooms, Hasta and Lecturer Foren each chose one as their work place for today.

Hasta sat on a chair, his hands naturally placed on the table, with a cup of Earl Grey tea and his heavy cane on the side.

After adjusting his mentality a little and lowering the black curtain, Hasta's eyes became sharper, his expression was serious, he looked at the door of the room, and said in a deep voice: "Come in."

When he first came here to act as a legal aid, because he was smiling, gentle, and looked a little immature, it was easy for people to doubt his professionalism.

Male help seekers were okay, they would implicitly express that they would refer to the suggestions, and then turn to the door of Lecturer Foren to line up.

Some female help-seekers are more troublesome. Generally, people who need legal aid have pain in their hearts that they want to vent.

When facing Hasta, they naturally regard him as a listener and a bucket for tears.

Some people cried heartbreakingly in the last second, and begged Hasta to hug her in the next second.

Others approached Hasta quietly while talking about their tragic experiences.

This made him very uncomfortable, but he couldn't say harsh words to drive people away. In short, it was very uncomfortable.

Later, he discussed with lecturer Folen and decided to draw a black curtain in front of the table to block the sight of the help-seekers.

This method is really good. It not only blocks those untrustworthy sights, but also saves a lot of unnecessary entanglements, and increases confidentiality, making the help-seekers more willing to reveal their hearts.

After waiting for about five seconds, the first help-seeker of the day came in.

Hasta also couldn't see the other party clearly, and could only guess their identity from their words and deeds.

Today's help-seeker should be a middle-aged man in his forties, and his trouble is about the distribution of property.

He has three children, two boys and one girl. The eldest son is 23 years old this year, the youngest son is 11 years old this year, and the daughter is 17 years old and has not married yet.

Originally, his family conditions were just above the poverty line. Although the family was not very rich in material terms, they had a good relationship with each other.

But when he made a lot of money last year because of luck and vision, the originally happy family underwent subtle changes.

The eldest son has married and has a child. Logically, he should be the best choice to inherit the property, but the eldest son's mother is no longer alive, and the youngest son's mother is his current wife.

Regarding the division of property, she naturally wants to fight for her son.

Dividing the family is the solution she proposed. Let the eldest son's family move to other places to live, and give him a sum of money, and then the rest of the property will be inherited by her son.

The eldest son's family was naturally unwilling, and he even threatened his stepmother many times that if he could not inherit the property, he would not care about any brotherly love.

The implication is that he might be cruel to his younger brother.

When facing huge property disputes, this kind of thing is not uncommon. As long as other possible inheritors are eliminated, the eldest son will be the only heir.

The thing that this person seeking help is most afraid of is the tragedy of his sons killing each other, so he dared not make a decision.

Hasta listened to the middle-aged man's story silently, and he had an idea in his mind.

This kind of thing is actually very common, and it is more obvious in the homes of nobles.

Fortunately, the Loen law only guarantees the inheritance rights of the eldest son, and how much the other descendants can get depends on how generous the eldest son is.

Even if he doesn't give 1 penny and directly drives others out, there is no problem in law.

However, such behavior is very undignified. Generally speaking, no nobles will do such a thing. On the contrary, they will give their brothers a part of the considerable property to show their generosity.

Another point is that the stepmother cannot directly interfere with the distribution of the nobles' property. No matter how favored she is, her children cannot inherit the title unless there are no other suitable heirs in front of her children.

Ordinary civilians do not have much property, and generally do not have much property to inherit. What they inherit may even be a pile of debts. In this case, it is difficult to have property disputes.

The more common cases are about the support of the elderly.
