Chapter 207 Teacher Benny's "Great Invention"

The Vasa family is quite famous in Layton City, but it is far from being comparable to the super rich like the Chap family.

The Vassar family has more than 2,000 acres of land and more than 40 servants. Although they are far from rich and powerful, they are enough for George Vassar and his brothers and sisters to live a comfortable life and have the opportunity to receive good education. educate.

As a teenager, George Vassar studied at Leiden College. After graduation, he wanted to go to Midgard University for further study, but he failed in the end.

The successive deaths of his father and eldest brother put the Vassar family in a temporary economic crisis. George Vassar had to end his studies and entered the colonial army as a military officer at the age of 19.

Thomas's opinion of George Vassar was very high, and it matched Joan's impression.

"He was a well-spoken, well-bred gentleman in society, but in uniform he became aloof and dignified, giving an impression of being unapproachable. George Vassar was not a man in any case. People who are pushy, even appear taciturn and very low-key.”

Listening to Thomas tell about Major Vassar's ups and downs, Joann naturally thought of what happened to Miss Martha.

The life experiences of the two of them are very similar. They both lost their parents at a young age, were forced to give up their studies, worked hard in society on their own, and barely supported their family business.

Before the death of Captain Daniel, he entrusted Major Vassar to take care of his fiancée Miss Martha.

Thinking back now, Joan vaguely felt that Daniel's last words seemed to have the intention of bringing Vasa and Martha together, and he didn't know whether he would be able to do what he wanted in the future.

On Monday morning, Joan got up half an hour earlier than usual, prepared spells before six o'clock, washed up, took another ten minutes to fetch milk, and had breakfast.

The reason why I was in such a hurry was that yesterday I made an appointment with Miaomiao, Azhi, and Mr. Benny to meet at 6:30 in front of the school gate of Leiden College, and we went to the Vasa family's manor together.

With the experience of eradicating diggers in the White House Manor yesterday, Joan found that the insecticide he prepared was very effective. Last night, he specially prepared 50 bottles and put them all in storage bags. He thought he could distribute them today. Useful.

When going downstairs, Joan met Thomas and Edward who had just woken up and were going to have breakfast.

Both of them were very curious when they saw his outfit on a long trip, and asked him where he was going in a hurry.

"Go to a friend's house as a guest, and help his ranch get rid of pests by the way." Joan simply explained.

"You are almost becoming a 'pest control expert' now, so you can also help my house get rid of insects anytime." Thomas said with a smile.

Hearing what he said, Joan couldn't help being moved. The Chapu family is rich and powerful, and the commission should not be less than 500 gold Dujia.

When he was thinking about how to talk to Thomas about the business, there was a familiar laughing sound from the door of the dormitory.

"Joan, good morning!" Xiao Miao was standing outside the door, smiling and waving to him.

Azhi followed behind Catwoman, still wearing the gray cloak with the hood pulled down, but it still attracted many curious eyes—including Edward and Thomas.

"Sister Meow, Ah Zhi, good morning." Joan greeted first, and asked in surprise, "Didn't we make an appointment to meet outside the school gate, how did you come in?"

The management of Leiden College is very strict. Students of the school must show their ID cards when entering and leaving the school. People outside the school are usually not allowed to enter the campus.

When outsiders want to enter the campus to find a certain student, they must first register their identity, and then ask the guard to inform the person they are looking for to meet at the school gate. Especially for conspicuous "heterogeneous" like Xiao Miao and Ah Zhi, it is even more difficult to enter the campus.

"Hey~ It's actually very simple. We showed our press credentials and claimed to represent the newspaper to interview the newly admitted talented students this year. By the way, we would like to promote the teaching achievements of Leiden College, and the guards readily let us in." Xiao Miao shook her head proudly. Tail said.

Qiao An almost laughed out loud, and had to admire Sister Miao's cleverness.

"Why didn't Mr. Benny come?"

"He was guarding the carriage outside the school gate. The cart was equipped with some weird gadgets he invented. He said that it might be useful when dealing with pests. He was afraid that someone would steal his 'great invention', so he guarded it every step of the way."

"If you want me to say, unless a thief is crazy, who would look at that pile of dangerous gadgets that may explode at any time? I don't want it for nothing!"

Ah Zhi hugged his shoulders and snorted angrily.

"Think about it, Joan, next we will go out of the city in the same car with that pile of dangerous goods. The road conditions outside the city are bad, and the carriage will inevitably be bumpy. What if Mr. Benny's 'great invention' is detonated... you Did you say we died unjustly?!"

"Okay, okay, so early in the morning, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Miao gave Ah Zhi a hard look.

Inadvertently noticed that there were two well-dressed teenagers standing behind Qiao An. They seemed to be the children of wealthy families, and they were looking at themselves with scrutiny. He asked:

"This is your classmate, right? Why don't you introduce us?"

Qiao An is really not good at socializing and socializing, so he came to his senses after being reminded by Xiao Miao, and made a brief introduction for both parties.

Thomas was quite polite to Xiaomao and Azhi, and felt that this very happy "cat and mouse combination" was very interesting, so he patted Joan on the shoulder enviously:

"I really didn't realize that a quiet and introverted person like you actually has a lot of friends!"

Edward maintained a polite and gentlemanly demeanor on the surface, but everyone could tell that this politeness was just a routine, with arrogance hidden behind it. Looking at Joan's eyes implied reproach, as if he was quite critical of him befriending street-born and suspicious-looking little people like Xiaomiao and Azhi.

After exchanging pleasantries, Qiao An bid farewell to the two classmates, and followed Xiao Miao and Ah Zhi towards the school gate.

Edward looked at their backs, frowned, and whispered something in Thomas' ear.

Thomas looked embarrassed, but under the urging of Edward's eyes, he had no choice but to call Joan to stop.

"What's the matter, Thomas?" Joan looked back.

Thomas hesitated a little, as if he was judging his limits, and finally exhorted in a subtle way: "Go out and take care of yourself!"

Qiao An nodded knowingly: "Thank you, I know it well."

After leaving the school gate, Joan saw a carriage with the words "Leiden Post" parked on the side of the road.

Behind the carriage was a small trailer, on which were piled up strange sundries, including a bamboo basket that almost filled the carriage, a large iron bucket with a brass faucet, and a bundle of more than three feet long, Steel pipes with threaded ends, a large bundle of canvas, two bundles of strong cable, and a thin folded leather bag.

Teacher Benny jumped down from the pile of debris and waved good morning to Joan.

"Good morning, Mr. Benny, what are these things for?"

Joan looked curiously at the sundries piled up in the trailer.
