Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 315 Leaving? No, you should choose loyalty!

"Shall we still go to Aurora Town?" Chu Danqing asked.

At dawn, the werewolf's corpse had been sacrificed to the cat goddess. This time, the sacrifice was simple and the process was quick.

It only took five minutes to complete.

The so-called intelligence was also extracted through interrogation.

This werewolf arrived at Aurora Highlands a long time ago.

Furthermore, its primary hunting target was not the Norris family caravan, nor was wandering the wilderness its original objective.

Its original target was the aurora town in the aurora highlands.

For the first two days after arriving, he was indeed like a fish in water. After eating two people, he prepared to return to his previous life as a butcher.

Before they could even choose a location, they were spotted by people from Aurora Town.

It's unclear what kind of deity's followers they were, but they beat it half to death on the spot.

Luckily, it ran fast and escaped with its life.

He was unconscious in the wild for an unknown period of time, but he managed to recover thanks to his werewolf physique.

Its injuries have mostly healed, but it has been starved.

As luck would have it, the Norris family caravan set up camp not far from where it had fallen unconscious.

That's how this happened at night.

“Of course we’re going. It would be much more dangerous to cross the Aurora Plateau without going through Aurora Town,” Delapour said. “As long as we follow the local rules, we won’t have any problems.”

“Every town has its own mysterious societies and even powerful forces; this is inevitable.”

"Sometimes, in a poor and backward mountain village, the whole village may believe in a certain god or someone may keep a mythical creature in their basement."

“Mysterious destiny is inherently elusive,” Delapour said.

Chu Danqing looked towards the Aurora Heights not far away: "It really is dangerous."

He understood what De Lapur meant; they probably thought that if they behaved themselves through the Aurora Town, they would likely avoid any problems.

But if you venture into areas that haven't been explored by humans, who knows what you might encounter?

It's not impossible to safely cross over, but overall, the danger is greater than going through the aurora town.

“At our current pace, we should be able to reach the town around dusk, and perhaps sell a few more goods.” Delapour’s face showed a rare smile.

At this point, the entire temporary camp was dismantled and packed away once again.

The entire caravan set off once again in a grand procession.

On the other side, Rudolf also approached Chu Danqing.

“Mr. William, I’m afraid we can’t take this case anymore,” Rudolph said. “Once we get back to the firm, we’ll deliver the full penalty to your door.”

This was not Rudolf's idea alone, but the result of discussions between him and his entire legal team.

While in the cave, they were still thinking about making money.

But after experiencing the Moon Swamp and the werewolves, they were all exhausted, both physically and mentally.

If this continues, how many people will be able to get their money back alive?
In particular, they also heard that there were similar mysterious entities in the aurora town ahead.

Judging from Delapour's attitude, he probably intends to make contact with these people.

This naturally terrified Rudolf and his men.

“Mr. Rudolf, I don’t think you can afford the penalty for breach of contract, especially since you are the breaching party,” Yang Qianyuan said slowly. “The deposit that the late Earl Hamlet paid you was an astronomical figure for you.”

"Then, the amount of the penalty for breach of contract is enough to have all of you hanged, understand?"

Chu Danqing had not seen the inheritance documents, but Yang Qianyuan had and made a record of them.

Rudolf told Chu Danqing all this because he was betting that Chu Danqing was unaware of the situation.

After all, when the will was given to William, he didn't even look at it; he just signed it according to William's instructions.

Therefore, Chu Danqing did not know the specific amount of the penalty for breach of contract.

However, Yang Qianyuan, as the deputy, not only read it, but also understood it in detail.

In fact, whether or not Rudolf and his legal team are involved in the inheritance process, Yang Qianyuan is fully capable of handling it on their behalf.

But on what grounds?
If Rudolf hadn't schemed against Chu Danqing and had simply stated everything, Yang Qianyuan wouldn't have interfered.

If you're going to resort to underhanded tactics, then don't expect to get away with it.

“You’re not being honest, Mr. Rudolf.” Chu Danqing immediately understood Yang Qianyuan’s meaning and continued, “But if you want to leave, I won’t stop you.”

"But I wish you that you live to be hanged, rather than be eaten by mythical creatures while trying to escape punishment and flee to a distant land."

"Or perhaps they were sacrificed as offerings by believers of certain gods."

Upon hearing this, Rudolf's expression immediately darkened: "Mr. William, your blessing is truly a curse."

"No, this is a true blessing." Chu Danqing revealed a mysterious smile: "The gaze of the gods brings a mysterious destiny."

Chu Danqing explained the situation. Rudolf and the other lawyers looked utterly desperate.

They thought that once they left Chu Danqing and the others, they could return to their peaceful lives.

However, all of this was just their own idea; the truth was far more irresistible than they realized.

“No, you must be lying to me, Mr. William.” The lawyer, Fila, could not accept this fact.

“If you want to forget this memory, I think Sally should be able to help you; her herbs are very effective,” Delapour said slowly.

He was listening in as well, but he hadn't wanted to interrupt before.

"If I forget, will I not be targeted by these mysterious creatures?" A glimmer of hope appeared in Rudolf's eyes.

“Of course not, but I can make your deaths a little easier,” Delapour chuckled.

The lawyers fell silent after he said that.

De Lapur was still credible; his legal team saw no reason for him to deceive them.

After all, they possessed immense power.

"So we'll live in the shadow of some mysterious destiny for the rest of our lives?" Rudolf's eyes were devoid of light.

"No, that's not it. Years ago, the Norris family caravan came into contact with a mysterious society called the Scales of Justice because of some legal issues."

“Everyone in this society is a lawyer. If you can find this society, you will not only have a patron deity, but also master mysterious powers,” Delapour said.

This news, which was like a rollercoaster ride, almost took a toll on Rudolf's heart.

"Then, Mr. Delapour, where should we look for the Society of the Scales of Justice?" Rudolf continued.

“Good question, but before that, you have to consider one thing,” Delapour said with a smile. “Why would they recruit you as members?”

“You’re not the best lawyers, and you don’t have any extraordinary backgrounds. They have absolutely no reason to let you be one of them.”

"Even if you become one of them, do you feel safe?"

"You need to first have faith in the god of the Society of the Law and Balance, and have enough piety."

"Secondly, we must also do our part for the association and contribute our own strength."

"Once you've completed these two tasks, you'll be a true member of the society."

"But there's a catch: you have to live long enough to accomplish both of these things."

Faced with Delapour's rapid-fire words, Rudolf's eyes dimmed completely.

This is still the case where Delapour skipped directly so that they could find the Society called the Scales of Justice alive, instead of dying on the way.

"So what you need to do is not to seek out the Society of the Scales of Justice, but to make a name for yourself and have a background you can rely on."

"When you possess these, the Society of the Scales of Justice will invite you to join."

"And you don't have to start from scratch. You'll be a mid-to-high-level person right from the start. This is much better than you risking your lives to find it yourselves." Delapour's words were almost a veiled hint.

Rudolf, being a shrewd man, understood immediately.

As for the danger of following Chu Danqing? Well, he's a count, after all; his safety is far greater than ours.

Especially since the Norris family caravan seems to be leaning towards siding with Chu Danqing, it makes them even safer.

But this also means giving up one's business and settling in Mayflower Bay.

"You truly deserve to be the elder of the Norris family. Please accept my sincerest gratitude."

"We are willing to pledge our allegiance to the Earl of Hamlet!"

Rudolf first thanked Delapour, and then said the last sentence to Chu Danqing.

“I accept your allegiance.” Chu Danqing replied, “Well done, I will not hesitate to bestow knighthood upon you.”

The investiture of a knight is similar to a noble title, except that it is conferred by a noble and is only valid within the territory of that noble.

It becomes invalid after you leave.

It is not just a symbol of status and position, but also a symbol of power and interests.

In this way, Chu Danqing's team in this trial world became even stronger.

With a group of lawyers helping them control the law, they have their own right to interpret legal principles and legitimacy.

“Thank you, generous Earl Hamlet.” Rudolf’s face lit up with delight.

Originally, their legal team belonged to a third party, but after this incident, they truly belong to the same interest group.

The Norris family caravan will then provide them with significantly enhanced protection, granting them the same treatment as other members of the Norris family.

Those who are friends and those who are outsiders will definitely be treated differently.

“We’ve lingered here long enough. I doubt the Earl of Hamlet would want to spend another night in the wilderness,” Delapour joked, thus bringing the matter to a close.

Chu Danqing knew that the other party was giving him a way out, so he said, "Of course, but I have to correct you, it's the future Earl Hamlet."

“The future? No, no, no, the future is in your hands, Mr. William.” Delapour immediately flattered him, “You are now the Earl of Hamlet.”
