"Brother Musk, here's the thing, I have a niece who was born in Avalon and married stockbroker Richard Jones."
"Last summer, when Richard Jones was fishing on the beach vacation, he unfortunately lost his footing and fell from the speedboat, falling into the sea and died."
"Mr. Jones, who died young, left his wife and children an inheritance worth more than 2 million pounds, plus a manor."
"As soon as Mrs. Jones finished her funeral, her husband's former partner, David Fuller, came to her door and took out a gambling agreement signed by Mr. Jones before his death, claiming that he had the right to obtain the entire partner's inheritance, and threatened to
Evict the orphans and widows from the Jones family."
"Of course Mrs. Jones couldn't bear this tone and went to court to accuse Fuller of fraud."
"The court appraised the gambling agreement and found that the agreement was genuine, but the specific terms were irregularly worded and ambiguous, and indeed suspected of fraud. Finally, the court ruled that both parties to the lawsuit should share Mr. Jones' estate equally."
"Neither Mrs Jones nor David Fuller can accept this outcome and continue to appeal."
"After some disputes, the Supreme Court accepted Fuller's application and allowed the prosecution and defense to hold a judicial duel to completely resolve this inheritance dispute."
"The trial judge was sympathetic to the fact that the plaintiff's client was an orphan and a widower, and allowed Mrs. Jones to hire a registered 'Judicial Knight' to represent her in the duel."
"David Fuller is an old, fat, greedy man. He is very calculating and has found a duel agent early on."
"Mrs. Jones never expected that this lawsuit, which she clearly handled, would eventually turn into a judicial duel, so she hasn't found a good attorney yet."
Old man Franklin sighed and continued:
"Mrs. Jones is my relative after all. I can't watch their orphans and widows being bullied by the old fox Fuller."
"Brother Musk, you once fought on behalf of Judge Colt and defeated the slightly famous duelist Levante in the duel. I believe in your character and strength."
"If you are willing to represent Mrs. Jones in her case, no matter what the final outcome of this judicial duel is, in addition to the remuneration Mrs. Jones gives you, I will also give you three additional magic scrolls. What do you think of this deal?"
Gao Fei wanted to agree immediately.
However, considering the character of Mr. Musk, the role he should play must still be performed well.
"Old sir, I sympathize with what happened to Mrs. Jones, and I hate the profiteer Fuller who took advantage of the situation. But I have to say, before I fully understand the truth of the case, I can't make a decision based on your words alone."
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I have a principle. Only when I am convinced that the client has been wronged will I show my sword and seek justice for the client!"
After hearing what Gao Fei said, old man Franklin put away his smile and showed sincere appreciation in his eyes.
"Brother Musk, there are very few young people who adhere to principles like you these days. Compared with those lawyers who take money to do things and don't care about right and wrong, you, the judicial knight, do have the character of a knight errant!"
Old man Franklin took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Gao Fei.
"I respect your principles. After you investigate the case, if you feel that Mrs. Jones deserves sympathy, go to her with my business card. I believe she will offer you a reasonable remuneration."
Gao Fei accepted the business card, coughed twice, and asked with a smile: "Old sir, what are the three magic scrolls you promised me, specifically what spells are they?"
"As long as it's a spell you can use, just choose whatever you want." Old man Franklin answered lightly.
"You have everything I want?"
"Even if you don't have it, I can still get it for you."
"I don't mean to offend, but your words sound like you are bragging." Gao Fei couldn't help but question.
Old man Franklin glanced at him and said calmly: "Young man, I have a student named Joan Vidal. Do you know what this means?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know your student."
Gao Fei tells the truth.
In this module, there is indeed no such number one NPC.
Old man Franklin sighed, as if pitying his ignorance.
"Young man, if you want to make a name for yourself in the mage profession, sooner or later you will recognize Dr. Vader."
Dr. Vader...
Gao Fei's heart suddenly moved.
Could the Dr. Vader the old man was talking about be the father of Inanna, the director of the Tiangong Module Design Department?
However, how can real characters be related to NPCs in the game?
Unless Director Yin deliberately designed a character based on his father in the game as a prank.
This is not impossible!
Gao Fei thought this was very reasonable, so he said to old man Franklin: "Sorry, I am ignorant. If I have the opportunity in the future, I must ask Dr. Vader for advice."
"I wish you had this chance."
Old man Franklin felt in his storage bag again and took out a crumpled object that was half a foot long.
Gao Fei initially thought it was a dry branch, but after taking a closer look, his scalp went numb.
On the top of that branch-like object, there is actually a dried eyeball embedded in it!
"Old sir, what is this?" Gao Fei asked, resisting the cold.
"An eye-sore. On the day I retired, Qiao An gave me this little gift as a souvenir."
Old man Franklin looked at his eyes, as if he was remembering something.
"Brother Musk, do you have a magic pet?"
"Not yet." Gao Fei answered truthfully.
"As a mage, it's rare to not summon a magic pet." Old Franklin turned to look at Gao Fei with a strange look in his eyes, "Are you also afraid of keeping pets?"
"Afraid of raising a pet? Haha, you old man really knows how to joke. How can there be such a weirdo in the world?! I just haven't found a familiar pet yet!"
"That's good." Old Franklin handed the eye stalk to Gao Fei, "This small gift is given to you as an advance payment for entrusting you to represent the Jones family estate dispute case. You can use this eye stalk as a medium to summon
A powerful familiar."
The carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road, and the signboard of Custis Firm was in sight.
Gao Fei took the eye stalk with confusion and couldn't help but ask old man Franklin: "This eye stalk...can't it summon the beholder?"
If this is really the case, the old man is intentionally harming others.
"Of course it's not a real beholder. No one can take the giant-eyed tyrant as a familiar!"
Old man Franklin laughed.
"But your guess is not entirely wrong. After all, a subspecies of beholder is also a beholder."
Gao Fei nodded as if he understood, said goodbye to this strange old man, turned around, got off the carriage, and returned to his office.
