Mystery: The arrival of the new Black Emperor

The entrance to the ruins looks like a street buried underground, with houses and shops on both sides.

I don’t know why this building complex is not covered with soil and is quite well preserved, as if a huge bubble has appeared underground.

If you look up, you can clearly see the earth and rocks above your head, as well as some tree roots.

Such well-preserved ruins usually unearth many valuable antiques. Even if no extraordinary items are found in the ruins, Jacob's team can make a lot of money just by selling the antiques.

This is why Jacob hopes Christine will join. This kind of "business" with low cost and high returns can easily make some people jealous. Christine's joining provided them with enough protection. Even if Christine never came to the excavation site, Jacob would give the general a satisfactory dividend.

The building where Rex left a message is the largest building in the complex, and it looks like it should be the residence of a noble.

Hobert pointed to the message on the wall: "Why can't you look at the rabbit?"

"We don't know either." Jacob smiled bitterly: "But many rabbit holes were indeed found in the ruins, but so far we haven't found anything wrong with the rabbits here."

Hobert asked again: "I remember you said that two team members have already died, right?"

"Yes, they died while exploring the underground part of this building. Originally we thought that their deaths were caused by extraordinary creatures..." At this point, Jacob explained: "Some extraordinary creatures like to kill These ancient ruins serve as habitats."

He said: “But when we conducted the channeling, we discovered that their spirituality seemed incomplete and they were unable to conduct effective channeling at all.

"That's when I realized that things might be beyond our control."

Hobert nodded and followed Jacob to the underground part. What was unexpected was that the underground part was very wide, and seemed to be larger than the above-ground part.

A pattern similar to a coat of arms appeared on the wall, which was a black crown. Hobert guessed: "This seems to be the coat of arms of the Trunsoest family?"

"You are really a learned gentleman." Jacob complimented: "I have consulted experts in this field, and this is indeed the hallmark of Trunsoest."

He shook his head and smiled: "But the professors can't figure out why the relics of the Trunsoest family appear in the north of Backlund.

“The tombs and relics of this family mostly appear in the Kingdom of Feneport and the Republic of Intis. The mainstream modern view is that the Night Emperor’s family should have originated in the west of the Northern Continent.

"Backlund is not the main activity area of ​​the Trunsoest family. Even if the ruins here really belong to the Trunsoest family, there should not be too high-level magical items left behind."

Hobert was stunned. He had forgotten that these declining Extraordinary families had long been buried in the dust of history. Now few people know that Trunsoest and Tudor once served the Black Emperor Solomon together, and They had a brief period of joint power.

Later, under the pressure of Solomon's return, Trunsoest took the initiative to seek help from the Six Gods. With the help of the Six Gods, he successfully advanced to Sequence 0 Judge, and the coalition government was split into two.

Before the Trunsoest Empire was established, most of the Night Emperor's family members should have been in Backlund.

After walking forward for about a few minutes, the group stopped in front of a fork in the road. Jacques preached: "There will be unknown dangers if we go further. Let's ask Mr. Dophis to lead us to explore."

Dophis nodded.

Hobert looked at the corridor leading to nowhere, flickering in and out of light under the torch, as if there was some monster hiding in the darkness not far away, peeping at everyone.

He reminded Dophis: "Perhaps the relationship between the Tudor family and the Trunsoest family is closer than we thought. Maybe the power of the Trunsoest family in Backlund during the Fourth Age exceeded ours." Imagine.”

Dophis didn't care whether Hobert could understand or not. He said coldly: "They are all families of Extraordinary people who are on the 'lawyer' path."

"Perhaps the alliance was formed due to some external pressure?" Hobert said: "I remember that the Kingdom of Loen and the Kingdom of Feneport were allies for a while, right?"

Dophis gave Hobert a deep look. He didn't expect that Hobert could understand what he just said. Moreover, Hobert reminded him in turn that for the ruling Extraordinary families such as "Lawyers", "Arbitrators" and "Hunters", in addition to the hostile relationship of Extraordinary sequence, there were sometimes some political considerations.

For example, the contradiction between the secular ruling power and the divine power, the mutual constraints between the divine power and the divine power, etc. These factors may cause the ruling extraordinary family to make some seemingly counterintuitive actions.

Dophis said "hmm", indicating that he understood what Hobert meant.

Jacob on the side was confused by the implicit exchange between the two of them. Jacob, who was fairly knowledgeable, could realize that these words seemed to have very advanced knowledge, but he did not understand the specific meaning.

When everyone returned to the camp, it was already lunch time.

Hobert planned to take a carriage back to Backlund after lunch.

The lunch in the camp is very simple, but it contains wild vegetables and hare meat, which gives it a unique flavor.

After Hobert finished his meal and was admiring the beautiful scenery around him, Jacob brought a man in his thirties over: "Mr. Hobert, I heard that you are a lawyer who has never failed. I don't know. Would you be interested in taking on a criminal case?”

Hobert said to himself: If it was last week, I would definitely be "not interested", but this week I am "interested" because I just got my lawyer qualification certificate.

As for Jacob's compliment that he was "never defeated", this is true, because so far Hobert has fought three lawsuits. One was that Barton gave him training and he was sure to win, and the other was Sean's case. Finding loopholes in relevant laws was only difficult in Bob's case.

I don’t know what Jacob will think after knowing his “record”?

Hobert said politely: "You are flattered. Let me hear the case first."

Jacob introduced the man in his thirties behind him: "His name is Dai Lun. He is the foreman of the workers. He has encountered legal problems and wants to ask for your help."

Hobert asked Dai Lun to come across from him. After a brief inquiry, Hobert learned that Dai Lun was seeking help from a lawyer for one of his friends.

More than half a month ago, Darren's friend Bill was driving a small boat on the Tasok River and hit another boat. Because Bill was drinking at the time, the owner of the other boat was charged with "drunk driving". Went to court.

Hobert was very happy, of course not because Bill crashed into the boat, but because this was the opportunity to completely digest the potion!
