Chapter 1242 Bethlehem World Expo

Joan's aversion to securities speculation is not entirely due to the fact that he was born in a small town in the southern countryside with a simple folk customs, and has conservative ideas.

In his view, "securities trading" and "gambling" are essentially the same thing. The risks are unpredictable, and no one dares to say that they will make a profit without losing money.

Although he still can't tell what kind of disaster it will be... It's just a vague premonition.

With mixed feelings, Joan bid farewell to the tutor, returned to the apartment, greeted the landlord Mrs. Anderson, briefly chatted about the adventures of underground exploration, played with the cats for a while, and the Zion siblings also came back.

Midgard University's summer vacation notice has been posted. It will be officially closed on August 7 and will return to school on September 20. There will be almost a month and a half of vacation.

At the dinner table, Audrey revealed to Joan that she and Holden had received a letter from their eldest brother Gloria Zion this afternoon, urging them to return to Bethlehem as soon as they were on vacation.

"Brother urged us to go home. There are three main things."

"First of all, of course, it's because Holden and I have been sneaking out for more than half a year. My family members are very worried and hope that we will go home and reunite as soon as possible." Audrey said.

"It's strange to say that you two are members of the Canaan royal family, and you are studying abroad alone. The family members are so relieved that they don't even arrange guards and nanny for you?"

Joan expressed the question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"Of course it's because Holden and I are not important roles in the royal family." Audrey smiled self-deprecatingly, "I have two very good elder brothers above me, and I don't have any right to inherit,'Princess 'It's just a nice name, but in fact, it's just a loser who will marry sooner or later, the father and mother are very busy and have no time to care about me."

As for the "illegitimate child" of Holden, let alone.

Joan could tell that Audrey's words were exaggerated. A princess is a princess, how could she have no status in the royal family? But from her resentful tone, it seems that she lacked parental care since she was a child.

"Joan, my sister is a 'player', don't believe her nonsense." Holden said with a smile, "Actually, my family still cares about us. My eldest brother often writes to me. Father My lord also entrusted my elder brother to tell us to take care of ourselves outside in the letter, as for the palace guards you mentioned... Hehe, there really are, but you just didn't realize it."

"Really?" Joan was taken aback.

Could it be that there are guards secretly protecting the Zion siblings?

Of course, the campus is very safe. However, the siblings have been in trouble many times during their underground adventures. For example, the fierce battle with the mythical crystal python not long ago was very dangerous, but no Canaan guards came forward to protect the siblings. .

"Joan, our bodyguards are not always following us secretly as you imagine."

"It's actually normal that you didn't realize that someone was secretly protecting us. After all, they are all professional agents belonging to the Canaan Intelligence Bureau. They are quasi-legendary characters. If you found out easily, I'm afraid they would have lost their jobs." Huo Leon revealed with a smile.

Hearing what he said, Qiao An felt strange.

"If I had known that you two were protected, I wouldn't have been so nervous when I was exploring. Anyway, someone came to the rescue at a critical moment."

"That's not the case."

Audrey noticed that Joan's expression was strange, and quickly explained softly.

"There is a kind of psychic power, similar to the 'care technique', which can sense someone's location and health status at any time, and can also manifest the power remotely. Unless Holden and I are really in danger of life, the guards will display it remotely." Yes, try to help us get rid of troubles without leaving any traces, instead of getting off the field yourself."

"Joan, I can tell you responsibly that so far, Holden and I haven't bothered the guards to fight once. Of course, this is mainly due to our own persistence."

Joan nodded, expressing understanding.

Audrey then returned to the topic: "Brother Colofer wants me and Holden to go home during the summer vacation. Another reason involves the huge magic crystal mining area we discovered in the 'Prime Ancient Abyss' not long ago. The royal family and the cabinet want to listen to us. Report in person, and then discuss how to intervene."

"As for the last reason to go home during the summer vacation, it is most worth looking forward to!"

Audrey's fair and handsome face seemed to be glowing with excitement.

"At the end of August this year, Bethlehem, the capital of Canaan, will host the 21st World Expo. Holden and I will go back to help organize the preparations for the Expo. This summer vacation is destined to be very busy."

"World Expo……"

It was the first time Joan heard this term. Although she didn't quite understand what it meant, she could guess from the literal meaning that it must be a world-wide sensation.

"The full name of 'World Expo' is 'Vares World Expo', also known as 'World Bazaar'. It is a grand commodity exhibition jointly participated by governments and private enterprises from all over the world. The theme is the business of magic industry and new technology. Promote."

"The World Expo is held every five years. At first, the capitals of various countries took turns to host it, and later expanded to other important commercial cities."

"During the preparations for the World Expo, leading figures in the industrial and commercial circles of various countries will receive invitations to participate in exhibitions and selection activities with their signature products."

"The expo has a jury composed of industry experts. Every session, ten outstanding products will be selected. In addition to the quality of the product itself, it also pays great attention to the application of new technologies and processes."

Audrey explained to Joan eloquently, and finally emphasized:

"This year's Bethlehem World Expo is unprecedentedly grand!"

"In addition to the established powers such as the Ashan Empire, the Feizhen Kingdom, the Ocean Blue Kingdom, and the Baoshihua Kingdom, it is said that the Kingdom of Kolas in the Far East, which has only been independent for two years, will also send a delegation to participate in the World Expo."

"Although the Kolas Kingdom has just become independent and has not yet been recognized by the original suzerain - the Ashan Empire - the development momentum in the past two years has been very prosperous, and the progress of the magic industry has attracted the attention of all countries in the world!"

"The products that the Far East delegation participated in this exhibition included soap, mercury mirrors, a new type of carriage, and a "Popular Brand" pocket watch that is said to be affordable even by the working class. Very curious!"

"Joan, if you have no other plans for the summer vacation, just come home with us. We will take you sightseeing around Canaan and visit the World Expo. It's very interesting to think about it!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess extended the invitation with great anticipation.
