Chapter 1605 Reunion with "Iron Rose"
"Joan, thank you for visiting me. If you have no other place you want to go, you can stay and be my adjutant in the future."
Sir Custis picked up the bottle with difficulty and poured a glass of brandy for Joan himself.
Joan stood up flattered, took the wine glass, clinked with the lord and drank it down.
The hot taste filled the mouth, Qiao An put down the wine glass, touched the corner of his mouth, and looked a little hesitant.
Lord Custis glanced at him, and asked with a smile: "Son, I'm just offering you a choice, and I don't mean to order you. If you have any ideas, just speak up."
"My lord, since you're not surprised, I'll just say it straight." Joan was embarrassed to face the old man's kind eyes, and said with some embarrassment, "I'm not used to doing clerical work. I want to go to the front line and fight."
"I admire your courage, child, and I respect your decision. If you have a unit you want to go to, please let me know, and I will help you make some arrangements."
Joan raised her head gratefully, and confessed her intentions to Lord Custis.
"I served under Captain Wall Stone last year. If I go to the reconnaissance company to join my old boss this time, I can make use of my expertise in reconnaissance of the enemy."
"I also heard that the Volsunger Corps led by Uncle Logan will also participate in this battle. I was a guest in Shizhu Town, and I was taken care of by Uncle Logan's family at that time. The Asa natives in Shizhu Town also treated me very well. Friendly, serving in the Volsunger Corps is also a good choice."
"Specifically, whether to go to the reconnaissance company or to the Volsunger Corps, I haven't made up my mind yet. Sir, which option do you think is more suitable for me?"
Joan handed over the decision to Lord Custis, not only because he was unable to choose, but also to express respect. After all, the Lord is the supreme commander of the coalition composed of the Midgard Colonial Corps and the Volsong Corps. , is his immediate boss.
Lord Custis nodded, stroking his wine glass in thought.
Before he could help Joann make up his mind, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door, vaguely mixed with the sounds of young men and women arguing. Joann heard something familiar, and was recalling the identity of the quarrelsome, Heimdall came in to report.
"My lord, Master Logan brought Master Haakon and Miss Slude to visit you, do you want to invite them in?"
"Dr. Vader is also an old friend of the Logan family. There are no outsiders here. Let them come in." After Lord Custis explained, he turned his head and smiled at Joan: "It's a coincidence that Logan and the others came here. Troops, I'm afraid I have no choice now."
Joan heard what he meant, and couldn't help feeling the impermanence of fate.
Thinking back to two years ago, I first met the Logan family by chance during the trip. Thanks to their rescue, I escaped from the pursuit of the snow monster, and recovered from my leg injury in Shizhu Town. Before parting, Uncle Logan specially gave him a letter of recommendation letter.
Later, Joan received an invitation from Lord Custis and was able to meet this mysterious figure who lived in isolation, which was somewhat related to Uncle Logan's letter.
At that time, I probably never imagined that when I met Uncle Logan again, it would be in Lord Custis' camp.
Just as Joan was feeling secretly, Heimdall led the three members of the Logan family in.
Joan hurriedly got up to greet him: "Uncle Logan, Haakon, Slude, long time no see!"
"Joan? It really is you!"
Logan was full of surprise, and strode forward to hug him.
"Just now Heimdall said that Dr. Vader from Midgard University is also here. I wonder which Dr. Vader it is? After thinking about it, you are the only person I know with the surname Vader, and you are in Midgard. University of Degarde."
"But I can't figure it out. You have only been in school for more than a year now. How did you suddenly become a doctor from a freshman?"
Logan looked Joan up and down with doubts in his eyes.
"Father, you don't understand, Brother Qiao An is a super genius!" Ha Kang interrupted with a smile, "I remember when we picked him up on the snowy mountain, this kid was only a level 4 mage, When I saw him again in Elk Town last summer, he had been promoted to a level 6 mage in just half a year. According to this rate of progress, Joan must have been promoted to a level 7 mage by now, reaching a master of arcane law It’s not surprising that you continue to study for a Ph.D. degree! Brother Qiao An, am I right?”
"That's true." Joan scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I'm already a level 8 mage."
This is not counting the three levels of "Mythological Archmage".
The Logan family looked at each other in blank dismay. If they hadn't known that Joan was definitely not the kind of person who boasted, they couldn't believe their ears.
"Well, great genius! Your talent has exceeded our imagination. No wonder you have become a respected Dr. Offa at the age of fifteen. Compared with you, Haakon and I have spent the past two years in vain!"
Slude is still a heroic tomboy, looking at Joan with complicated eyes.
"Haha! Slude, it's rare for you to have low self-esteem. It seems that only a genius like Brother Qiao An can hold down the proud 'Iron Rose' in Shizhu Town!"
Haakon grinned until his younger sister turned her head and glared, then quickly covered her mouth and changed her words embarrassingly.
"Actually, you don't have to be too inferior. Although we brothers and sisters can't compare with brother Joan, we have made great progress in the past two years! Slude, haven't you been promoted to a level 10 arcane knight? Among your peers It's a standout…”
"Don't talk about your age, you idiot! Joan is only fifteen years old, and I'm already nineteen...Ah! I feel like I'm getting old all of a sudden, so annoying!"
Slude scratched his head with his hands, messing up his short, sunny blond hair.
"Sorry, I forgot that you women are very sensitive to age."
Haakon's untimely complaints caused his sister to roll her eyes. If Sir Custis wasn't present, the hot-tempered "Iron Rose" would have already kicked him.
Seeing it, Joan smiled spontaneously, envious of the deep relationship between Haakon and Slude brothers and sisters from the bottom of her heart.
Slude caught a glimpse of the corners of Joan's lips, turned his head angrily, put his hands on his hips, and approached him until his lips almost touched his forehead.
"Little guy, I haven't seen you for a year, you haven't grown much!"
Joan's face turned red immediately, and she couldn't help protesting loudly: "Look carefully, I've grown an inch taller!"
Slude shook his fingers and said solemnly: "A fifteen-year-old child is in puberty. I am at your age. I can grow three inches taller in one year. If you can divide the energy of learning magic Half of it is used for exercising and eating more meat, so it won’t take a whole year to grow only a pitiful inch.”
