Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

Alger once again admired the "Emperor" for his knowledge in occult science. At the same time, he thought that the people who discovered this ruins before were probably pirates. They did not have as much occult knowledge as the "Emperor". As long as they dived in and took a look, they would find nothing. I won't continue to explore.

After waiting for the vortex to disappear, Alger took off his coat and prepared to go down to check.

But after the vortex disappeared, the halo below also disappeared.

Alger immediately understood. He used his ability again to create a whirlpool in the pool, then jumped into the pool and dived downwards in the rapids.

In the water, looming illusory scales appeared on Alger's body, which were more flexible than fish. He could now stay underwater for a long time.

Dive down for more than ten meters until the mouth of the pool looks very far away, until the surroundings gradually become dark.

Alger finally saw clearly what was glowing under the water. They were two crystal-like stones. There was a hole between the two crystals that could only be entered by one person.

There are many such caves in the pool. Even sailors who are proficient in diving would not dare to explore such caves where it is easy to get lost.

The two glowing crystals looked like ordinary stones under normal circumstances, so the sailors who had explored before did not notice anything strange.

There are also glowing crystals inside the cave, which seem to guide the way and provide lighting.

Alger cautiously swam into the cave entrance. There was no danger, so he swam forward with confidence.

The water level got higher and higher, and finally Alger broke out of the water and came to a dark cave.

Alger climbed onto the rocks by the water, took out a small waterproof torch and lit it, lighting up the entire cave.

He first saw a skeleton on the ground not far from him. There were some debris beside the skeleton. There was nothing special about the skeleton except for the scepter in its hand. The other hand of the skeleton pointed to the other side of the cave.

Alger looked along the skeleton's fingertips to the other side of the cave, where there was a huge mural.

The murals are well preserved and still have color to this day.

Getting closer to the mural, Alger discovered that the characters inside all had pointed ears, giving them a divine feeling.

Alger roughly understood what the mural depicted. The skeleton sitting in the distance was a descendant of a mixture of elves and humans. The skeleton's family had always maintained the elven lifestyle. At the same time, the skeleton's family also inherited a story about the elves. secret.

The skeleton on the ground did not become an Extraordinary. He was the last member of this family. During his lifetime, he painted the secrets of the elves passed down by his family in murals.

The so-called secret is the location where the last three high-ranking elves of the elves fell.

In other words, in these three locations, it is very likely to find the extraordinary characteristics left by the high-ranking elves?

Alger glanced at the skeleton sitting on the ground. Why would he paint such an important secret in a mural?

Shouldn't this kind of secret be taken to the grave and buried completely, rather than revealed to others?

Suddenly, Alger suddenly recalled that the "Emperor" had said that there were three laws for extraordinary characteristics, but he only knew one. He vaguely realized that the reason why the skeletons left murals should be related to the law of extraordinary characteristics.

Alger felt a bit bitter at the thought of asking the "Emperor" for extraordinary knowledge again. Now that he owed the Emperor 1,000 pounds, would he have to bear a heavier debt?

At this time, he looked at the scepter in the skeleton's hand.

The scepter seemed to be made of crystal, with a blue gemstone on the top.

When Alger got the scepter, the sound of waves suddenly rang in his ears, and then he realized that he could use the three abilities of storms, huge waves, and communication with sea monsters!

This made Alger laugh out loud with joy. As a "navigator", he could only cast some water-related spells, such as whirlpools and small-scale changes in ocean currents, that's all.

Only with the gift of the Lord of Storms can "Navigator" and "Wind Blessed" cast more powerful spells. Otherwise, they have to wait until Sequence 5 or even Sequence 4 to use abilities such as giant waves.

And the scepter in his hand made Alger like a favored one of the Lord of Storms, able to display practical and powerful abilities at sea.

This is not to say that Alger has the ability of Sequence 5. This scepter is more like "the approval of the sea", which is equivalent to a certain type of certificate. With it, Alger can "engage in a certain profession."

In other words, it is only useful if it falls into the hands of the "Navigator" and "Wind Blessed One" of the "Sailor" path. Extraordinaries of other paths cannot use abilities such as giant waves at all.

"The emperor is right." Alger said to himself: "Looking for the remains of the elves, you can really find good things from the 'sailor' path."

Just this scepter, if traded on the violent sea, would cost at least 3,000 pounds, and there would definitely be a premium. Of course, before Alger became a Sequence 5, he would never sell the scepter in his hand. Thinking about it this way, the 1,000 pounds was truly worth it.

…

On Tuesday morning, Hobert came to the Magistrates Court early, put on his lawyer's robe and wig, and sat with Sean to prepare for the trial.

This time several spectators came to the magistrates' court, in addition to Sean's family, there were also Hugh and Forth.

At 8:30 in the morning, the judge took his seat and the court officially opened.

As the plaintiff's lawyer, Hobert first took out an IOU and stated the fact that the defendant borrowed 300 pounds in cash from Sean.

As Hobert expected yesterday, the defendant's lawyer believed that the IOU was nearly three years old and should be deemed invalid in the legal sense based on relevant laws and regulations.

What Hobert was waiting for was the other party's argument: "Your honor, we waive the 'right to win' in this IOU!"

In some cases, the plaintiff has the "right to win". For example, if the judge determines that Sean's IOU has legal effect, then Sean will directly win the lawsuit.

But the current problem is that according to relevant laws and regulations, it is difficult for the judge to make a clear judgment on whether this IOU has legal effect.

At this time, it depends on the debate between the lawyers on both sides. Which side's interpretation of relevant laws and regulations can impress the judge more, and the judge will make a judgment in favor of which side.

This is the value of a lawyer.

So Hobert simply stopped arguing with the other party and took advantage of the loopholes in the regulations to find new breakthroughs.

His decision to give up his "right to win" surprised both the judge and the defendant's lawyer. According to normal thinking, as a plaintiff's lawyer, you should work hard to defend your "right to win"!

Hobert continued: "Yes, you heard it right, we gave up the 'right to win' on the IOU and no longer sued the other party for not repaying the loan overdue, but instead sued the other party for not repaying the loan.

"Defendant, do you admit that you borrowed 300 pounds in cash from Mr. Sean?"

The defendant's lawyer immediately understood Hobert's intention. He leaned back in his chair and had no more thoughts about defending.

Because now, regardless of whether the defendant admits it or not, the 300 pounds in cash must be returned.

The defendant was asked this question by Hobert, and almost reflexively said: "I did not borrow this money. This is a false accusation made by Sean."

Hobert nodded: "Okay, since you say so, it means I can apply for enforcement!

"Although I have given up the 'right to win' on the IOU, the evidence provided by Mr. Sean is enough to prove that you have indeed borrowed money, so the contractual nature of this IOU is still there, and you must pay back the money."

As soon as the defendant heard "enforcement", his scalp immediately went numb: "I, I borrowed money, yes, I borrowed the money."

Hobert nodded: "Okay, please repay the money within three weeks, otherwise it will be considered a refusal to repay, and we will apply for enforcement."
