Chapter 2268 Returning From the Dead

"Mr. Principal, you are too polite, I don't deserve your praise." Joan scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

The tall Mr. Jefferson embraced the young mage warmly, and said with a smile: "My good boy, I had expected that your future would be bright, but I didn't expect that in just a few years, you would become a member of Midgard University." And even the most high-profile scholar in the entire New World."

"Just because you have become the double winner of the 'Rising Star Award' and the 'Ebdon Award' before you are eighteen years old, you are worthy of any praise!"

"Well, to be honest, I'm even a little jealous of the principal of Midgard University! If you were willing to stay at Leiden College, you might have achieved what you are today, and our school will benefit from it. When people mention you, they only think of Midgard University, but they don't know that your alma mater is Leiden College."

Joan followed the principal into the office, and heard him jokingly complain that he shouldn't be allowed to transfer to another school. He felt a little ashamed while being funny.

He only studied at Leiden College for a short year, and he complained about the too expensive tuition fees of Leiden College's Austrian law major, as well as the master-apprentice relationship between the tutor and the student, which was similar to a feudal guild, but these were all Can't erase his feelings for his alma mater.

During his time at Midgard University, Joan published a lot of papers and won many awards. It is reasonable to say "to win glory for the school" and he is worthy of the training of Midgard University.

In contrast, he did not bring any honor to his alma mater, but caused a lot of trouble.

To be honest, if there was no Joan Vida at Leiden College, "Shepherd" Idar and Jack brothers would not have broken into the campus to commit murder, and Leiden College's arcane major would not have lost Robert because of this. Two professors, Rawls and Walter Lee.

Of course, the reality is more complicated than that, but Joan feels that he is at least partially responsible for this, and in this regard, he is ashamed of his alma mater.

Prompted by this mentality, when President Jefferson proposed to invite him to stay at his alma mater for a period of time in the name of a "visiting scholar", Joann did not refuse.

In addition to the school's situation, Qiao An also asked the principal about the current situation of his classmates and friends.

Edward Gates, the son of the general, and Thomas Chap, the son of the big plantation owner, both received a master's degree in Austrian law last fall.

After graduating, Edward enlisted in the army and became a staff officer and military mage under his father, General Charles Gates.

After graduating, Thomas returned to his family's plantation, reluctantly inherited 80,000 acres of farmland, and became the youngest and richest farmer in Leiden Port, and the most popular diamond bachelor in the social arena.

The life trajectories of Edward and Thomas seemed to be calm and did not exceed Joan's expectations.

On the contrary, Rebecca Custis, the "gifted girl" who was as famous as him at Leiden College, did not enter the church as he expected after graduating from the seminary.

According to the principal, Rebecca returned to the White House Manor two years ago after receiving her master’s degree, and became a home-based doctor. She occasionally made outpatient visits to treat the poor and even black slaves suffering from intractable diseases for free. Even Mr. Jefferson sincerely admired this girl who was beautiful, kind, compassionate and just, "a model for women in the New World".

In addition to her beauty, kindness, and the title of "magic genius", the seventeen-year-old Miss Rebecca also has noble blood and a large fortune. She is undoubtedly the "dream lover" shared by many unmarried young people in Leiden City. There must be many suitors.

The strange thing is that Rebecca has seldom attended social dances in these years, and she is neither engaged to anyone, nor has she been rumored to be in contact with anyone, so that it is generally believed that this devout Miss Custis will one day enter the church and take over Her teacher, Sister Clare, Dean of the Seminary and Prioress, had been an old maid all her life.

Joan listened silently to the rumors about Rebecca from Mr. Principal, feeling mixed feelings in his heart, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

After chatting for half an hour, there was a knock on the door of the office, and Sally came in to report that all the guests invited by Mr. Jefferson had arrived.

"Joan, there has never been a miraculous event of the resurrection of the dead in the history of Leiden City. To avoid trouble, I specially invited a few witnesses. Let's go out and say hello to them."

"Okay, Mr. Principal, you are still considerate."

Joan followed Mr. Jefferson back to the living room, and found that there were already five visitors waiting, four men and one woman. Only the old woman in a nun's robe he recognized was Rebecca's mentor, Reverend Timos Clare. ma.

Don't look at this nanny's benevolent looks, but she is actually quite hot-tempered.

Joan still remembered that on the first day of school, that guy Thomas pretended to be a flirt and tried to strike up a conversation with Rebecca, but the little girl was so scared that the "Different Hair Seal" lost control and wrapped around his neck, almost strangling him to death.

Joan was also a tough guy at the time, eager to rescue his friend out of trouble, he picked up a brick and slapped Rebecca on the head. The poor girl's head was broken by him, but she didn't restrain herself, and instead attacked him.

Thanks to Sister Clare who arrived in time, cast a spell to suppress Rebecca's "Different Hair Seal", and later became furious. If Master Rawls hadn't stopped her, Joan and Thomas would have been hung up and whipped by her...

After meeting again after many years, Joan still had a little fear of Sister Claire.

Aunt Claire was very enthusiastic about him, and asked about his situation these years with a smile, and also enthusiastically expressed that she would tell Rebecca the news of his return to her alma mater, so as to make her most beloved student happy.

In addition to Sister Clare, among the guests invited by Principal Jefferson was a bald old man in a yellow priestly robe, the Reverend Pierrot of the parish. In addition, the lawyer and notary, the judge and two police officers were all involved in the investigation of the "Rawls Murder".

Mr. Jefferson found a carriage and took them to the cemetery outside the city.

While chatting on the road, Joan naturally became the focus, answering various questions about the resurrection of the dead.

Sister Claire was particularly interested in this topic, and said to Joan with regret:

"In ancient times, 'resurrection of the dead' was not uncommon! Priests of any denomination could use a 5-ring divine spell to resurrect the corpse of an accidental dead. It is said that druids also have similar spells, and their level is only Ring 4, but the resurrected dead may not be able to integrate into their own flesh, and are more likely to become humanoids of other races."

Thanks to book friend S is equal to kBlnW for rewarding the leader and adding a new chapter.
