Arcane Universe

The four followed the waiter up to the second floor.

On the second floor of the cafe, except for the aisle in the middle, there are boxes on both sides.

Box 6 is located on the left side of the aisle, which is not facing the street.

Entering the box, it’s a bit more spacious than Feng Chou imagined. There is a long table in the middle of the box. Two wooden benches are placed on both sides of the table. The walls of the box are decorated in brown and yellow. There are a few small oil paintings hanging on the wall.

There is a wide window on the outer wall of the box. You can see that behind the cafe building, there is a small garden. Opposite the garden is an apartment building.

At Zakley’s suggestion, Feng Chou and Stewart sat by the window, while the two lawyers sat face to face on the outside.

Attorney Zakley ordered a cup of black coffee from the south, and several distinctive desserts and biscuits for the four.

Next, Zakley took out the contract documents he drafted and discussed with Todd’s lawyer.

Soon, a waiter brought coffee to the four of them, and Feng Chou put two ten-peppers Copper Coins in the waiter’s tray.

This is his tip.

The taste of black coffee is good, with a strong coffee aroma in the bitterness, with milk and sugar, the taste is intoxicating, and it is much better than the coffee that Feng Chou drank in the Earth cafe .

While drinking coffee, Feng Chou and Shi Duhua talked about the business of mercenaries.

During the chat, Feng Chou discovered that there is a big difference between mercenaries in big cities and rural mercenaries.

In the countryside like Antalia, there are two most important businesses for mercenaries, one is escorting goods, and the other is clearing all around the wild animals in the countryside.

But in a big city like Casalanca, the main business of mercenaries is completely different. Their most important business is to provide security services for the rich in the city, and the other is to provide security services for the wealthy people in the city. Freighters on the Dale River provide armed escort services.

Whether it is security services or the armed escort of freighters, the mercenary group needs to have a very high reputation, otherwise no one would dare to give their wealth and lives to a group of unreliable armed men.

So, in a big city like Casalanca, there is no room for low-level mercenaries.

Even a youngster born in Casalanca, if you want to become a mercenary, you need to leave the city and go to the nearby countryside to slowly accumulate credibility. Only the mercenary whose credibility level reaches Fifth Level or higher Mercenaries have room for survival in big cities.

Because a mercenary with a credibility of Fifth Level can receive a small but enough retirement pension in the mercenary union after retirement. This kind of protection is very precious in this era. Once the contract is breached, He will lose this minimum guarantee, which makes the probability of default for mercenaries with Fifth Level credibility very low.

From the conversation, Feng Chou discovered that Stewart was a shrewd person who was not commensurate with his appearance, and he was a deeply hidden guy.

It took more than half an hour for the two lawyers to finalize the paperwork.

The Todd lawyer that Stewart invited was very professional in his work. When negotiating the agreement, he almost refuse to yield an inch, not at all because of the identity of the other party.

Feng Chou called the waiter to pay for the bill, a few cups of coffee, a few plates of exquisite desserts, a total of 7 crowns and 64 pies Feng Chou, Feng Chou directly handed the waiter 8 crowns, the extra is considered His tip.

Out of the cafe, the four of them crossed the street and walked into the Western Region courthouse.

Led by two lawyers, Feng Chou walked through the lobby on the first floor of the court and exited the back door.

Outside the back door is a garden. Looking across the garden, Feng Chou saw a solemn spire building, which is a classic temple building. On the wall below the building spire, a circular emblem is embossed , In the emblem is embossed a balance supported by a mountain that emits ten thousand zhang rays of light.

Yes, that is the temple of the Lord of Radiance.

Walking into the temple, the four Feng Chou showed different etiquette to the tall Divine Idol at the bottom of the temple.

Attorney Zakley and Attorney Todd both knelt down sincerely and worshiped Divine Idol respectfully, while Feng Chou and Stewart just bowed to Divine Idol.

This shows that neither he nor Stewart is a believer in the Lord of Glory.

After the week, Feng Chou dropped a small Golden Lion into the box in front of the donation box on the side of the aisle gate and in front of a pastor apprentice according to the request of the lawyer Zakley. In order to understand his own purpose: “The respectable pastor of the strict, I need a trainee pastor to provide a fair judgment for my property document used as collateral.”

Nodded, the trainee pastor said : “Please wait a moment.”

He turned and walked to a porch on the side of the temple. After a while, he returned with another apprentice pastor.

This apprentice pastor and Feng Chou left the temple together, walked through the garden, and returned to the court building.

Led by lawyer Zakley, they came to an office on the first floor.

Judge Warner Vincent is written on the office door sign.

Zakley knocked on the door of the office, and a young secretary received them.

This is a large office. In the middle of the office, there are two desks facing each other. Passing through the two desks, there is a door inside, leading to the office inside. That is Judge Warner’s office.

The office outside is both a reception room and an office for the two secretaries of the judge.

The secretary who received them was named Tim, and the other secretary seemed to be away.

Zakley and Tim seem to know each other very well. Tim told them that Judge Warner is handling the case in the inner office and they may have to wait for a while.

Zakley gave the decision to Feng Chou, because the waiting time will also be included in the attorney’s fee.

Feng Chou certainly doesn’t care about the lawyer’s fee of a few crowns. He doesn’t care about nodded.

Tim invited them to the lounge area near the entrance of the office, where there is a main sofa, two sofas, and a small square table.

After the four of you were seated, Tim served black tea with milk and sugar.

The four people waited for about twenty minutes. The door of the office inside opened, and a youngster walked out with a few gentlemen dressed up.

When the youngster sent a few people out of the office and returned, Tim asked him: “Willie, is the judge free now?”

The name is Wei Lee’s youngster nodded said: “Yes, the business just now has ended.”

Tim came to the office door inside and knocked on the door.

“Please come in.”

Tim pushed the door into the office, said something to the people inside, and walked out again. He said to Feng Chou several people: ” Gentlemen, the judge can accept your case.”

The four followed Tim into the office inside.

This is a larger or even somewhat empty office. The huge space and high dome make this office a kind of oppression.

The judge’s desk is located in front of a window in the office. On both sides of the window are two bookshelves, which fill the wall behind the judge.

On the white walls on the left and right sides of the office, an emblem is hung on each.

An emblem is the city emblem of the city of Casaranca. It is a huge copper emblem. On the emblem is embossed a merchant ship on the water, and a bauhinia pattern road surrounds the merchant ship. ship.

Two crossed flags are hung under the emblem, one is the red, yellow and blue city flag of Casalanka, and the other is the blue silver star flag of the Owendell Empire.

On the other wall hangs the Holy Mountain celestial splendor of the Lord of Radiance.

For the four people’s arrival, Judge Warner not at all stood up to welcome him. According to the doctrine of the Lord of Radiance, in judicial proceedings, the judge represents the sacred law. He does not need to show humility to anyone. Even if he is the king.

At the invitation of Tim, the four came to Judge Brown’s desk. Zakley explained his intentions to Judge Warner on behalf of the four and submitted the contract documents.

Feng Chou calmly looked at the serious judge in front of Zakley.

This is a middle age person who looks about forty years old. His figure is thin, his face is as hard as granite, the corners of his mouth are carved like a knife, and his brown eyes are cold and piercing. God.

The judge wore a gray hair jacket and a brown flak gown with a deep purple kilay inside.

After listening to Zakley’s introduction, Judge Warner took the contract and looked at it carefully.

After reading the contract, Judge Warner asked Feng Chou for the manor property rights document he wanted to use as a mortgage.

After reading the title document carefully, he asked Feng Chou, the shining master apprentice pastor they invited, to verify the commercial Goddess divine force emblem on the document.

In the presence of Judge Warner, the pastor apprentice performed a divine technique on the property documents.

The commercial Goddess divine force emblem is stimulated by the divine technique of the interstitial priest, and a $ mark clearly emerges.

Seeing this scene, Judge Warner was satisfied and nodded, took out his official seal and stamped it on the head of the three contract documents, and signed his name on the official seal.

With the official seal and signature of the judge, these three documents have legal effect.

Next, Feng Chou and Shi Duhua signed their names on the three documents respectively, and a formal, legally binding contract was completed.

One of these three documents will be kept by Judge Warner for backup, and the other two will be kept in the hands of Feng Chou and Stewart.

Feng Chou paid a handling fee of 20 crowns to Tim Warner’s secretary, and everyone left the judge’s office.

Leaving the judge’s office, Attorney Zakley reached out and shook Feng Chou, and said: “Your Excellency Baron, are you satisfied with my service?”

Feng Chou said:” Of course, you are an excellent lawyer, and I look forward to the day when you stand in court.”

Attorney Zakley said with a faint smile: “You will really flatter people.”

Feng Chou took out the purse, took out three small Golden Lions from it and handed them to lawyer Zakley.

Attorney Zakley put away the gold coins, took off the cocked hat on his head, thanked Feng Chou nodded, put on the hat again, and turned away.

After Lawyer Zakley left, Feng Chou turned to Stewart and said, “Captain Stewart, the day before the start of the pioneering group, I will let Allen go to Turkey and meet you with ale, as My plenipotentiary representative, Allen will follow you all the way to participate in the pioneering operation. Your development expenses can be reimbursed to Allen, and finally deducted from the acquisition of Meritorious Silver Coin… Okay, I hope we have a happy cooperation.”

After speaking, he turned and left.
