Chapter 2272 Class Reunion

Joan lit up all the candlesticks upstairs and downstairs in the new house with magic, then took out a bottle of "God's Tears" soaked potion from the storage bag, mixed it with ten times the amount of water, and poured it into a large atomized watering can , carrying a watering can and inspected the whole house.

"True Sight" can make Qiao An see the germs gathered in the dark corners clearly, lift the watering can and spray twice, and all the germs will die. Thoroughly disinfect the entire house, and he can move in with peace of mind in the future.

On the second day after moving into the new house, Joann completed the revision of the manuscript of the thesis she collaborated with Gaina during the polar trip—"The Mystery of the Gathering"—and sent it to the editorial department of "Arcana Exploration".

For the next two weeks, Joan would walk from the new house to Master Rawls's house every morning. The teacher and the student had breakfast in a nearby small restaurant and went to Leiden College together.

Right now it is the winter vacation, and the quiet campus is very suitable for learning.

Joan spends most of the day in the library looking through documents, and plans to write a long essay titled "Nifelheim's Ecology, Society and Religion".

Due to the year-round blockade of the "magic fog", coupled with the severe cold climate and harsh environment, Niflheim has been regarded as a restricted area of ​​life by outsiders since ancient times, shrouded in strong mystery.

Even today, few people know that the magic fog has been dispelled, and the "Kingdom of Fog" has opened its doors to the outside world.

Joan not only has personal experience of traveling to the polar regions, but also participated in the whole process of going to the underworld to purify the curse and dispel the magic fog.

During his trip to the polar regions, he inspected the ecological distribution along the way. He met ordinary residents of Niflheim, such as the glacier dwarves in White Bear Village, and the people in Shuanglin Town who were sheltered by the "Old Tree of Life". The Church of Styx in Niflheim has a good relationship and has accumulated a lot of first-hand information. It can be said that no one is more suitable than him to write this article aimed at unveiling the mystery of the "Mist Kingdom" and introducing polar customs to readers from other places. article.

This topic is very grand, and the content that Qiao An wants to write is also very complicated. It really took a lot of energy. It was not until the end of December that he sorted out his thoughts and completed the first draft.

That afternoon, Master Rawls came to the library to look for him, saying that Sister Clare asked him to forward a letter to Joan.

Qiao An opened the envelope with curiosity, and couldn't help but stir up waves in his heart.

He was very familiar with the delicate handwriting, it was clearly written by Rebecca herself, and the content of the letter was nothing special.

The new year is approaching, and Rebecca plans to invite her classmates and friends from Leiden College to a party at her manor. After hearing from Aunt Claire that Joan has returned to Leiden City, she encloses an invitation card, inviting him to come to Bailey College on New Year's Eve. House manor to attend class reunion.

"Joan, the old woman said that this is a letter written by Rebecca, you won't ignore her?" Master Rawls asked gossipingly.

"Rebecca invited me to the class reunion..." Joan scratched her head embarrassingly, "I don't know how to respond."

"What's so tangled up here, you have to go to the banquet because of emotion and reason!" Master Rawls patted the student's shoulder, "Be decisive, my child, stop looking forward and backward at this time, Write back immediately!"

Joan glanced at him in surprise, and asked in a low voice: "Mentor, you are so experienced, why are you still a bachelor until now?"

"Oh, that's a good question, but none of your business! Cut the nonsense and write back!"

Under the supervision of Master Rawls, Joan had to rack his brains to choose his words, and wrote back a letter to Rebecca, thanking him for his invitation and expressing that he would attend the appointment on time.

After finally writing the letter, Joann didn't even have time to check it out before being snatched away by Master Rawls.

"Excellent! I'll deliver your letter right now!"

Master Rawls ran away like a happy fat bird.

Joan was grateful and funny for his enthusiasm, but when he thought of seeing Rebecca again, countless past events came to his mind, and he sat at the desk in a daze, so he didn't have the time to write any papers.

The class reunion will be held the day after tomorrow—that is, the last day of this year—in the evening. However, from the moment he received the invitation, Joan couldn't calm down to work for the next two days, and it was like a year.

This feeling of anxiety is a brand new experience for him.

After finally surviving until the afternoon of December 31, under the repeated instructions of Master Rawls, Joan changed into a bright dress, brought a bouquet of flowers, and drove out of the city.

During the journey to the White House Manor, he had traveled back and forth countless times five years ago, but he had never been so restless and worried about gains and losses as he was at this moment.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of the manor. As soon as Joan got out of the car, he saw a pair of familiar figures. They were Colonel Vassar and Miss Martha. The couple were waving to him at the intersection of the manor, with excited smiles on their faces.

"Joan, long time no see, she has grown a lot taller."

Colonel Vassar came up to him and gave him a hug. Martha followed, looked at Joan tenderly, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Joan, you have refused to come back for so many years. If you are still absent today, I will be really angry with you."

Knowing that she was wrong, Joan's cheeks became hot, and she quickly picked up the bouquet and handed it to Martha to cover up her embarrassment.

"Thank you for the flowers!" Martha blinked playfully, "I will pass them on to Rebecca for you."

"Is Rebecca okay?" Joan finally couldn't help asking.

"She locked herself upstairs in the bedroom after lunch, and she was worrying about which outfit to wear to today's party!" Martha replied with a smile, "As for what she was thinking, I don't know. Ask her!"

The three of them talked and chatted, and they arrived at the door of the big house after a while.

Joan looked up and saw the landmark building of the manor, the big house with a snow-white roof, and recalled that he would accompany Mr. Vassar to dinner here every weekend. Now Mr. Vassar and Miss Martha have been married for five years, and he and Rebecca have not seen each other for five full years, and have not even passed a letter.

Of course, Rebecca couldn't be blamed for this. Joan knew that she was sorry for her and felt deeply guilty.

In fact, over the past few years, Colonel Vassar persuaded him more than once to return to this manor to ease the relationship with Rebecca, but he refused all of them. The reason even he couldn't explain clearly, maybe it was mainly because of guilt. escape psychology.

In any case, he came back after all. Although he was not in a calm mood, it at least showed that after these years of experience, he was somewhat mature, and finally he was able to muster up the courage to face the knot in his heart.

At this time, the laughter of young people came from the courtyard. Two young men in military uniforms came over leading their horses. The moment they saw Joan, their eyes lit up immediately, they threw away the reins, and galloped over cheering.
