Chapter 1245 The Countess' Invitation

"Ruby, I have also considered this evolutionary path, but it is too troublesome, and the master said that strengthening the blood is always accompanied by risks. If you are unlucky and fail to strengthen, it is not surprising that you die directly."

"Miss Ruby" shrugged her wings, looking a little helpless.

"Brother Joan, Ruby knows that you are a very hardworking person, but Ruby is different from me. I am a guy who just wants to have fun every day, fly around, eat and die, instead of risking my life In pursuit of great power, Rubi me, I would rather eat a few more red-fleshed watermelons in my lifetime!"

"Anyway, my master is strong enough to protect me from being hurt by others. Ruby, what's the point of working hard to improve my own strength?"

"I said Ruby...you are such a slob with no ambitions!" Joan stretched out a finger and poked her on the forehead angrily.

"Miss Ruby" took advantage of the situation and hugged his arm, slipped into his arms and smiled foolishly and acted like a baby.

"Hee hee hee~ Brother Qiao An, if you want Ruby to work hard, Ruby and me, maybe I can cheer up!"

"Mrs. Josephine advises you to practice hard, but you don't listen. What I say is of no use." Joan shook her head disapprovingly.

"That's different! Because Ruby likes little brother!" "Miss Ruby" rolled around in Qiao An's arms and acted like a baby, "In order to make little brother happy, Ruby is willing to work a little harder and become better!"

After hearing her naive and sincere confession, Joan was not only moved, but also came up with the idea of ​​helping Ruby strengthen her bloodline.

Indeed, as Ruby said, strengthening the bloodline is a risky way of practice, but Joan has a whole set of strategies and rich clinical experience to reduce the risk in the process of strengthening the bloodline, so as to ensure that Ruby can improve her strength safely and fully develop her bloodline. spellcasting potential.

While thinking, the carriage slowly slowed down and stopped on the side of the road.

"Mr. Vida, the Tuleli Hotel is here." The coachman turned around and said.

Joan winked at Ruby, signaling her to activate the "Mythical Invisibility".

After Ruby hid her appearance, she opened the car door and jumped out.

The Tuileries Hotel is the most upscale restaurant and hotel in Midgard City. Its architectural style resembles a magnificent old castle, with a luxurious atmosphere.

Qiao An looked at her school uniform and secretly regretted that she hadn't thought carefully. She should change into formal clothes before going to the appointment, otherwise she would not be turned away by the waiter in the hotel.

Fortunately, this little trouble couldn't help the genius mage. Joan drew a piece of "Sid's magic power" and performed a "disguise technique". Then he changed the robe into a white shirt and tuxedo, trimmed his hair, and buttoned it up. Wearing a top hat and shiny leather shoes, he strode towards the hall with his head held high.

"Wow! My little brother has changed into a formal suit, and he has become even more handsome!" The nympho praise of "Miss Ruby" came from my ear.

Joan glanced at Ruby angrily, motioned her to keep quiet, so as not to arouse suspicion, and quickly walked through the lobby on the first floor, and boarded the pneumatic ladder leading to the upper floors.

The layout of the fourth floor of the Du Leli Hotel is like a theater with private rooms.

Mrs. Josephine was waiting for Joan in a private room. After meeting him, she took the initiative to greet him and kissed him on the cheek with a smile.

Joan also kissed the countess on the cheek back, took her hand, and sat back at the dining table.

It's strange to say that when Joan gets along with other young and beautiful people of the opposite sex, she feels a little nervous and cramped, but she doesn't have this kind of tension in front of Mrs. Josephine, as if she is accompanied by a close family member.

Mrs. Josephine ordered the waiter to bring black tea and snacks, and specially ordered a glass of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice for Ruby. She gracefully picked up the white porcelain cup, sipped the black tea, and asked Joan with a smile, "How are you doing recently?"

Qiao An thought for a while before answering: "A lot of things have happened, I don't know where to start."

Mrs. Josephine noticed that he seemed to have something on her mind, put away her smile, and said softly: "Let's start from the beginning, we have plenty of time to chat, no matter what troubles you encounter, my child, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help you." I won't watch you suffer."

Joan nodded gratefully, starting with winning the "Rising Star Award", then talking about assisting Klein's prospecting team in discovering the super-large magic crystal vein, and finally talking about Professor Moriarty's speculation in the futures exchange .

At the end, Joan couldn't help but complain a little.

"In the past two days, our professor has simply stopped coming to the laboratory. He spends all day in the stock exchange like a stockbroker, which is really disgraceful."

"As a student of Professor Moriarty, I shouldn't criticize my tutor in front of others, but I really feel sorry for him wasting my intelligence and intelligence. Dear Madam, what do you think of this matter?"

Mrs. Josephine patiently listened to Joan's complaint, and touched his head with a smile, her eyes full of doting.

"Honey, I know you expect me to stand on your side and help you criticize Trophim for not doing his job properly, but I'm sorry, this time I can only say that you are wrong."

"Trophim, although his style of acting is a bit exaggerated, but this speculative business of magic crystal futures... Hehe, he really did the right thing. If there is no accident, he should be able to make a lot of money."

"Joan, just now you complained that your mentor shouldn't spend his energy on securities speculation, and said it was a waste of his talent. I'm sorry I can't agree with your point of view."

"First of all, Trophim doesn't have any great talent..."

"Okay, okay, my dear child, don't pout, I don't mean to despise your mentor, just a little joke."

"Taking a step back, even if securities speculation is not as noble as academic research, it's quick money in this business!"

"My dear boy, without money, what do you use for scientific research?"

"Conversely, if there is sufficient funding, many scientific research problems will no longer be difficult problems. Think about it, is this the truth?"

Joan had to admit that the Countess was right.

"Well, maybe I'm too naive."

He sighed, and originally wanted to say, even if he earns money for scientific research funding, can't he earn money standing up?

Whether investing in factories or farms, is it not enough to produce tangible material wealth?

Do you have to engage in vain financial speculation?

If you can easily earn money by engaging in financial speculation, then everyone will go to the stock exchange, and who will be able to farm and work in a down-to-earth manner in the future?

However, after thinking about it carefully, Joan felt that his economic concept was too old-fashioned, and he was too embarrassed to say it.
