Although this secret room was not large, it was hidden deep underground. The stairs leading to the secret room were quite steep, so Rawls walked up the stairs and looked at the entrance of the secret room, only seeing the person's knees below.
He was wearing a pair of black leather boots and dark trousers, and the rest disappeared from Rawls' blind spot.
"You can't even recognize my voice?"
It was the voice of a middle-aged man, full of majesty, which made Rawls feel the urge to surrender.
majesty?
Rawls's pupils shrank, and he remembered that it was the voice of Bird Mustang, the "Viscount of Fear".
The big pirate with a bounty of more than 10,000 pounds!
The strong man of Sequence 5!
He's back to Backlund again!
"Sir, you are back." Rawls tried his best to control himself so that his voice did not tremble so much.
How could it be so sudden! I had just thrown the task assigned by "Viscount Dread" out of my mind, and he appeared. Was he here to urge me to complete the task? But he had no clue about the task, would he punish himself?
By the way! There is a description of that ironclad ship in the original book!
It is 101 meters long and 21 meters wide. It has four main guns and can reach a speed of 16 knots...
What if he asked me where the information came from? That he heard it from some judge at the Royal Courts of Justice?
No, I can sense that Johnson is lying. The "Viscount of Fear" sequence is higher than mine, so he can definitely sense that I am lying.
"What are you thinking? Am I scary?" Bird Mustang's voice sounded again.
"Nothing, sir. Are you here for the ironclad ship?"
Rawls wanted to punch himself, but why did he say it out loud! Are you a curly-haired baboon? It would be better if you didn’t say it, but you would definitely be doomed if you did!
Suddenly, Rawls felt that his tense nerves relaxed, and the air around him seemed to flow.
Rawls looked around and found that it was not his imagination. In the secret room, waves of tiny whirlwinds appeared out of thin air and rolled up the dust. The dust gathered together was the size of a fist and slowly floated out of the secret room along the steep stairs.
.
Bird Mustang began to come down the stairs. He was not wearing an Intis-style shirt with intricate patterns on the cuffs and neckline as described in the reward order, nor was he wearing a dark red captain's uniform.
He is the same as most of the gentlemen in Backlund, wearing a white shirt and vest, a black formal suit, and a top hat. The only difference is his bronze skin, which is the mark of years of living at sea.
Because the secret room was small and the stairs were steep, Rawls had to lower his head or even bend over when he came down in order to come down smoothly. Rawls was nearly 1.8 meters tall, about the same height as Bird Mustang, but he also wore a top hat.
.But he neither lowered his head nor bent down, and walked straight down the stairs, as if the distance between the ceiling of the secret room and the stairs had been enlarged out of thin air.
It is distortion, the ability of "Lawyer" Path Sequence 6 "Corrupted Baron", Bird Mustang distorts the distance between the stairs and the ceiling of the secret room.
While Rawls was thinking about this, Bird Mustang suddenly appeared in front of Rawls, and he distorted the distance between the two.
Bird Mustang did not mention anything about the ironclad ship. He scanned the entire secret room and suddenly said: "I thought that you, like your father, chose not to continue on the extraordinary path and sealed this secret room.
, but why did you open it again today?"
"My father also knew about this secret room?" Rawls did not answer the "Viscount of Fear" question, but seized on the "loophole" in his words to ask. This is the basic code of conduct for "lawyers" and must always be mastered.
Initiative. But he was also curious about the secret of this secret room. In the memory of his predecessor, only he should know about this secret room.
Bird Mustang didn't pay attention to this, glanced at Rawls, and replied: "This secret room was built by your father, but later he chose to be a lawyer instead of continuing, so he sealed this secret room.
Secret room."
"Then why..."
Bird Mustang interrupted Rawls's continued questioning, patted Rawls on the shoulder, and said: "Okay, kid! Don't play the 'lawyer' trick in front of me! You're still far behind!"
Rawls sneered and said: "Sorry sir, I'm used to it."
"You can't do this. Remember the true meaning of acting. You are just pretending to be a 'lawyer', don't indulge in it. Your father is like this, which is why he has been unable to digest the magic potion."
Bird Mustang sighed, looking a little sad.
"My father..." Rawls continued to ask questions. He just wanted to skip the ironclad ship completely now.
"That's enough! Answer my question! Why did you open this secret room again today?"
Rawls only felt that Birdmastan's figure suddenly grew taller, and felt that the lights in the secret room suddenly dimmed, and the air seemed to have stopped flowing again.
This is the ability of the Sequence 5 "Chaos Mentor", which comes from the majesty of the mentor!
Rawls conscientiously chose to stop testing Bird Mustang. However, judging from the recent test of "Viscount Fear", his previous guess was indeed correct. Bird Mustang and his father Mason Adri
Ann's relationship is indeed extraordinary.
"To become a stronger Extraordinary!"
Although he was limited by the majesty of the "Viscount of Fear" and answered his questions, he only answered part of it. After all, becoming stronger was one of the reasons why he came to the secret room.
"Because of what?"
Bird Mustang frowned. Although he had only been with Rawls for a week on the surface, he had been paying attention to Rawls for a long time secretly.
He knew very well what kind of person Rawls was. Although he lived a good life, he was not like those ignorant aristocratic children who were curious about the extraordinary world. The influence of a lawyer family made Rawls very rational and always cautious about the extraordinary world.
When he chose to take the "magic potion" and become an extraordinary person, it was mostly because of the "force" of him, a great pirate. So when he taught Rawls about mystical knowledge, Rawls only focused on the "acting method" to save his life.
The heart requires only understanding of other mysterious knowledge.
Rawls replied without pause: "Tired of it."
He was indeed tired of it. Although he had only been a lawyer for more than half a month, the tens of centimeters of files and case collections were really overwhelming for him, a novice lawyer.
The legal judgments of the Kingdom of Loen do not rely on statutory law, but on case law. Judges rely on previous cases when sentencing, which makes the lawyers of the Kingdom of Loen need to collect the same cases when handling cases.
The precedent collections composed of these cases are often tens of centimeters thick, and some even have precedent collections more than one meter high. Barristers will find the lightest penalty for their clients from the precedent collection, and this can also make the judges impose penalties
There is no need to worry about the influence of public opinion, after all, there are precedents to follow.
Bird Mustang nodded to indicate that he understood. After all, he was just a young man in his early twenties. What could he do if he was rational? Rawls was not like Mason, who was born in poverty. He was born in a privileged life and could persevere.
Two years has been the greatest consolation for Mason's hard work.
He has also been a lawyer, and he knows very well the moral character of his former colleagues. But this is good, he no longer has to hide Rawls's affairs about Mason.
Bird Mustang used a sapphire ring on his finger made of "Wind Blessed" properties to create a whirlwind to close the door of the secret room, and distorted the concept of "closing the door" and turned it into a "seal"
