Chapter 1521 Unexpected Invitation

Internship points can not only be used as money on the university campus, but also one of the mandatory indicators for graduation.

When Qiao An applied for early graduation, she was almost rejected because of insufficient internship points.

Later, although I successfully obtained a master's degree certificate, I still had to make up for the lack of internship points during my Ph.D. study. In addition, there are also requirements for internship points for doctoral graduation.

Joan is good at writing papers, and earning academic points is like playing games. Internship points are not so easy to earn. Participating in military operations is the most important way to obtain internship points.

If it is really possible to complete the task within one to two weeks and earn 20 internship points, Joan would not mind taking a little risk. By the way, he can also study the ecology of the dinosaur population in Lake Aosta, and maybe he can learn from the field. Investigation, water a paper on dinosaurs, wouldn't it be flattering?

Joan was lost in thought, when suddenly there was a wave of magic power in front of him, and a ball of red light emerged.

Joan held the ball of light and read the magic message, his expression changed slightly—both the sender and the content of the letter were far beyond his expectations.

...

Not far from the school gate, Joan found the tavern mentioned in the magic message.

Pushing open the door of the tavern and walking in, I soon saw the familiar figure in front of the bar.

A middle-aged man with broad shoulders and broad back was sitting in front of the bar with his back to the door of the tavern, holding a large pipe in his left hand and a large glass of bubbling beer in his right.

Beside him, a black hound was squatting on a chair, quietly waiting for the meal to be served, looking more gentlemanly than the rowdy drunks in the tavern.

"Long time no see, Mr. Pinkerton."

Joan walked to the bar and greeted Mr. Detective who sent a letter asking him to meet here.

"Hi, Joan! Oh, I should call you Dr. Vader!" Detective Ted Pinkerton raised his glass to the young mage with a smile, "Have you not had lunch yet? I heard that this tavern The steak is grilled well, you can order whatever you want, I'll treat you."

"The food in this restaurant is not bad. My classmates and I often come here to eat."

Joan sat in the chair next to Carl. The police dog turned his head in a very humane manner, apparently recognizing him, and offered his paws as a handshake gesture.

Joan and Carl shook their paws, and took the opportunity to stroke its smooth fur neck twice.

"Dr. Vader, what do you want for lunch?"

The tavernkeeper came over to say hello to the regular patrons.

"One pudding, one glass of orange juice." Joan ordered the meal skillfully.

Not long after, Pinkerton and Carl's steaks were served first.

Mr. Detective helped his dog wrap a napkin around it, and Carl immediately buried his head, munching on the medium-rare T-bone steak on the plate.

Pinkerton himself cut a piece of steak, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it with relish, and then said to Joan with a smile: "I like this small restaurant, not only the food is delicious, but the atmosphere is also better than those pretentious high-end restaurants in the city." Comfortable, for the same money, Carl can get the same hospitality as human customers here.”

Joan nodded in agreement.

High-end restaurants usually don't allow large dogs like Carl to enter the door, and even if they make an exception, the waiter will not allow the guest's "pet" to the table.

Although Carl is not a "pet", but Pinkerton's "animal partner", as a police dog, he is more like Mr. Detective's business partner, but in the eyes of waiters in high-end restaurants, he is no different from other pet dogs. Not getting the respect they deserve.

The pubs and restaurants opened near the university, unlike other similar places in the city, do not restrict guests to eat with pets, which is mainly determined by the special environment of the university park.

Most of the mages and warlocks studying arcane at Midgard University, except for a very few eccentrics like Joan, who have a withdrawn personality like Joan, will raise a "magic pet" and take the magic pet with them wherever they go.

Compared with the hounds that can be seen everywhere in the city, the types of magic pets are so strange. Toads, poisonous snakes, crows, mice, and owls are just the basic types, and there are also fairy dragons, eyes of insight, and villains in bottles—also known as "artificial humans." "—Wait for a strange creature beyond imagination.

The familiars of wizards and sorcerers are usually of a higher intelligence level than the "animal companions" of rangers and druids, and even smarter than ordinary humans.

Demon pets not only retain the nature of beasts and even monsters, but also have intelligent minds, which means that almost all of these little guys are "troubleshooters" who love to hold grudges. Ordinary people offend them, but there is no good fruit to eat !

What's more, behind every magic pet, there is also their arcane spellcaster master backing them up.

The purpose of opening a restaurant is to do business, not to offend people. In the vicinity of the university campus, students majoring in arcane arts are recognized as the least annoying group of people.

If a mage brings his magic pet to eat, does the restaurant owner dare to say "you can't bring pets to the table"?

If you dare to say this, just wait for the door to close!

Take this tavern as an example. Students majoring in arcane arts often come in and out with all kinds of weird magic pets. The tavern owner, waiters and even frequent customers have long been familiar with it. The police dog ordered a T-bone steak.

While Joan was chatting with Pinkerton, the lunch he ordered was also delivered.

Steaks can be eaten anywhere, but "Putin" is the signature dish of this tavern. It is said to be a snack originated from the northern Jotunheim region.

The recipe of this dish is actually very simple.

The dinner plate is first filled with French fries fried until golden and crispy, then spread with melted cheese, and finally poured a large spoonful of gravy that is boiled until it is fragrant and tangy.

Putin must be eaten while it is hot. Joan inserted a large group of French fries soaked in cheese and gravy and stuffed it into his mouth. The hot, sticky and rich taste brought unparalleled satisfaction.

Quickly swept away the food on the plate, Joan picked up the drink cup, gulped down the sweet and sour orange juice in one gulp, moistened the throat and relieved the greasy, and burped comfortably.

After eating and drinking, Joan asked Ted Pinkerton straight to the point: "You asked me to meet here, you must have something to tell me?"

Mr. Detective lit his pipe, took a deep breath, and replied frankly: "I do have something to ask for your help."

"Is there a new clue about Harry Kaufman's escape?" Joan asked tentatively.

Pinkerton shook his head and said in a low voice: "It has nothing to do with that case, I came to you today for another matter, Joan, have you paid attention to the recent newspaper reports about the dinosaur riot in Lake Aosta? "
