Hobert inquired about the residence of Mr. Heyman, to which Mr. Robin replied, "We only know this gentleman's na, but we don't have any other information about him."
Hobert felt sowhat helpless and had to investigate on his own. He left the share authorization docunt behind, and just as he saw Mr. Robin off, Barton called out to him, "Are you planning to help?"
"Yes," Hobert replied, "At the very least, I will investigate."
Barton shook his head, "We are lawyers, not police officers or detectives. We need our clients to provide sufficient evidence. Our role is to help clients with their lawsuits, not to search for evidence."
Hobert smiled wryly, "I know you're right, but I still want to help him. Even if after investigating I find that I can't help him, my conscience will feel better."
Barton shrugged, "Alright then, but the firm won't reimburse your expenses on this case. Of course, if there are any gains, you don't need to hand them over to the firm. Consider it a private commission."
Hobert nodded, "Understood."
Hobert spent the entire morning handling his gun license. After returning from the governnt office, he organized materials and reviewed docunts. He planned to go out in the afternoon under the pretense of visiting a client and then find a hotel to rent a room by the hour to attend the Tarot Club eting.
Fortunately, he didn't go out. Just before noon, he received a letter from the rcenary club, stating that soone selling common mysticism materials like dragon blood grass had arranged to et him at the club at 4 PM.
Additionally, soone wanted to sell notes from Emperor Roselle and had also arranged to et him around 4 PM.
It seed that Monday would be too busy to visit clients.
Around 2 PM, Hobert left the office, walked through two streets, and found a hotel where he rented a room for 1 soli.
At 3 PM, a well-prepared Hobert was pulled above the gray fog.
After the mbers greeted each other, Hobert sincerely thanked them, "Thank you, Mr. Fool, for the idea you provided at the last eting. After my confirmation, my family indeed has a curse, and I am currently investigating its origin.
"If anyone hears of a similar curse, please let know. I will offer knowledge as a reward for the information."
The Hanged Man agreed, while Justice seed a bit restless, "Honorable Mr. Fool, ever-helpful Mr. Hanged Man, and knowledgeable Mr. Emperor, I have a question to ask:
"What can a pet with Beyonder powers do for its owner?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that Mr. Fool, the Hanged Man, and the Emperor all fell silent.
Audrey: Hey, hey, hey, say sothing, don't look at like that! Really, I'm asking for a friend!
Hobert's light laugh broke the silence, "If the pet possesses the Beyonder abilities of a 'Spectator,' it can observe and eavesdrop in certain situations on your behalf. People are wary of their kind but are less likely to suspect a pet of eavesdropping."
Audrey: Makes sense! Many tis when Dad discusses important matters with others, he avoids , but they don't drive away Susie.
Wait a minute, Mr. Emperor, why did you directly use 'Spectator' as an example?
She quickly jumped to the next topic to ease her embarrassnt, "Mr. Fool, I found another page of Emperor Roselle's diary."
After about four or five minutes, Mr. Fool finished reading the diary, "You may now discuss."
Audrey breathed a sigh of relief, "I want to know if there is a potion called 'Arbiter,' and what kind of Beyonder can pass through wooden doors directly?"
"There is," Hobert replied casually, "Beyonders of the Arbiter pathway are common in the armies of the Loen Kingdom and the Feynapotter Kingdom because the royal families of these two kingdoms, the Augustus family and the Castiya family, beca Beyonder families on the Arbiter pathway due to their allegiance to the Solomon Empire and the Trunsoest Empire.
"Additionally, due to wars and other reasons, the kings of these two kingdoms awarded so soldiers with Arbiter pathway potions, resulting in so non-royal Arbiter Beyonder families.
"Generally speaking, Arbiters are widely present among the nobility, military, and political circles of the two kingdoms. The Feysac Empire should also have so Arbiter Beyonder characteristics, as it has been an old rival of the Loen Kingdom."
Audrey was sowhat surprised, not expecting the royal families to be Beyonder families. But thinking about it, in a world with Beyonders, the fact that the Augustus family has existed for a thousand years and remained unshaken speaks volus.
Hobert continued, "As for Beyonders who can pass through wooden doors, they are on the Apprentice pathway. The Theosophy Order has many Beyonders on this pathway. Additionally, the Abraham family also holds relatively complete potion formulas for this pathway.
"However, like my family, the Abraham family is also deeply affected by a curse. It is said that there are no strong individuals on this pathway currently."
Alger and Klein were both slightly surprised. They knew about the Apprentice pathway and the Theosophy Order but they had never heard of the Abraham family, which made them once again marvel at the Emperor's vast knowledge.
They were also very curious about the history and current situation of the Abraham family.
"Mr. Emperor," Audrey asked, "Why haven't I heard of the Abraham family?"
Klein secretly thought: Miss Justice, your question is excellent!
Alger also perked up his ears, seriously "freeloading" this secret knowledge of the Beyonder world.
Hobert smiled, "That's because this family began to decline in the Fourth Epoch. However, almost all Beyonders on the Apprentice pathway, except those from the Theosophy Order, have so connection to this family."
Audrey nodded, "Mr. Emperor, your explanation is very detailed. How should I pay you?"
Hobert had already planned to ask Audrey to investigate the fallen nobles in Backlund, which naturally included Raft Pound.
However, just as he was about to speak, Hobert suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. He racked his brain and finally rembered.
In a Tarot eting a few months later, "Mr. World" would commission Audrey to conduct the sa investigation!
At the sa ti, mories of Raft also flooded Hobert's mind.
The Pound family were descendants of the Blood Emperor Tudor. After changing their surna and going into hiding, they began to serve the Loen royal family. However, their real goal was to settle in Backlund and attempt to excavate the relics left by the Tudor Empire.
As a result, many strong mbers of the family were killed by the evil spirit in the ruins, causing the Pound family to fall into decline.
