>>5501536>>5501606It seems that the people agree.
>>5501633By the heavens, you are really bent on torturing him, but he deserves this. Well, I shall add an option to try to wash him along the way.
>>5501691Well said.
>>5501945You put it in a nutshell good sir.
>>5502076>>5502078>>5502089This debate between protecting your love and caring for our servant's well being show how much you are kind lords good sirs.
>>5502239>>5502383>>5503349You decided to thank Oldfossil, you will travel lightly as if on campaign and you would need legal advice at the end.
-What an excellent idea Oldfossil, what an excellent idea, give me the names of course.
The man bowed and told.
-I shall even write them, and transmit it to your learned friend brother Louis tomorrow.
You nodded, brother Louis would be the only literate man in your retinue. And you let Oldfossil explain.
-There is some legists of good repute in Pleasantville. One of them is a rather kind fellow from Diver City, called Yu Su Mi, he helped defend someone here on one occasion. But knowing the baron he will probably give work to many men, there is two good law firms that could help here. The first one is Alway, Cheatham and Run, a group of humans of good repute that had moved from city to city and who has helped us well when we had a quarrel with the Red Baron but they were engaged by the baron too sometimes so I do not know if you will manage to hire them. But there is Goldersson, Axefist, Grudgebringer and Greenleaf. I would suggest that you ask the services of mister Greenleaf, I do not know him but an elf or an half-elf working with dwarves cannot be a bad lawyer in my humble opinion.
You nodded and you asked.
-This town seems to be full of lawyers and legists... Why ?
-Yes my lord, as they say if there is one lawyer in a town he is it's poorest inhabitant, if there is two of them they are the two richest. Lawyers attire other lawyers and new people seeing them rich want to study the law. It makes them poorer since there is too much of them so those who cannot stay in big cities move to smaller towns and do the same. Fortunately they have not come for the villages still but I fear that we will see some of them migrate here.
You understood the worry of your councillor before this invasion of lawyers. Could the burghers not grow crops like peasants, or do some useful craft, no, they must read books to look like they are intelligent. Fools ! All of them !
It was in these thoughts that you decided to go to sleep, tomorrow will be a great day.
