Chapter 2273 Class Reunion (Ⅱ)
"Joan! When did your kid come back?"
"It's so embarrassing not to notify us when we go home!"
The two sons of Mayor Tyndale's family, Dick and Roger, ran over excitedly and hugged Joan warmly.
The two brothers have been in the army for five years, and they have been following Colonel Vasa in the north and south. Now they have been promoted to cavalry captains, and they are the most promising young officers in the Yalfheim colony.
The officers who came to the White House Manor to dinner tonight, and two old friends who fought side by side with Joanne, Colonel Nathaniel Green and the Asa officer from the Algonquin Valley——Magney Colonel Powhatan.
There was a little embarrassment mixed with the happy atmosphere of the reunion of old friends. Magny took a chance and dragged Joan to a secluded corner with a menacing demeanor like a lion examining its prey.
"Joan, have you written to my sister recently?"
"Uh... I haven't contacted you for a long time, how is Kandy?"
Cold sweat dripped from Joan's forehead.
Rebecca's problem has not been resolved, and a new crisis has emerged. Tonight is destined to be very difficult.
"Ha! I can't answer this kind of thing. Can't you kid write a letter to Conti and tell her that you have returned to Leighton City?" Magny hinted bluntly.
"Okay, Brother Magni, I'll write to Kandy when I get home." Joan bit the bullet and made a promise.
"A man must do what he says!" Magny patted him heavily on the shoulder, "By next Sunday at the latest, if Candy hasn't received your letter, boy, believe it or not, I'll tie you up and escort you to Bo Watan Village!"
Magny's nickname "Madman" was not a joke. Joan absolutely believed that he would do what he said, and quickly promised to write a letter to Conti as soon as possible. Finally, he managed it.
As night fell, there was an endless stream of carriages coming from outside the manor. Most of the visitors were relatives and friends of the Custis family, as well as Rebecca’s classmates, including two of Joan’s classmates when he was studying at Leiden College. Good friends, Thomas Chap and Edward Gates, both students of Professor Rawls.
After meeting again after five years, Joan found that Edward was taller, almost six feet eight inches, and still so thin, standing like a flagpole in the crowd!
Thomas' figure was plump, and his chubby cheeks were like dough. The moment he saw Joan, he howled like a wolf and howled like ghosts. He rushed to hug him and did not let go. The tears of excitement in the crowd were really not at all. Disgraceful.
Friends reunited after a long absence, Joan's nose was sore, Edward's eyes were red, plus Thomas, the three young people had endless topics to talk about together.
Thomas and Edward are now level 8 mages, and they both carry their magic pets with them.
Thomas' pet is a chubby and cute hamster, and Edward's pet is an owl with a cold temperament.
"Joan, I have to expose Thomas' sinister intentions to you. I knew that I hate mice, but I deliberately chose a hamster as a pet. It was clearly provoking me!" Edward complained angrily.
"Come on, Edward, I only chose this kind of magic pet because I like hamsters. Is it because you don't have a coin?" Thomas immediately counterattacked, "On the contrary, you, after learning that I chose the hamster magic pet, have nothing to do with it!" He chose the owl as his magic pet without hesitation, and he clearly wanted to kill my hamster! Joan, do you think he is narrow-minded?"
Joan saw that the two of them were still the same as before, teasing and arguing with each other as soon as they met, and felt warm in their hearts while being funny, as if they had returned to the carefree youth.
Recalling that five years ago, when Joan decided to leave Leiden College, Thomas and Edward made an agreement with him—to graduate from Leiden College as soon as possible, and to study at Midgard University in the future.
However, fate made a joke with them, and the plan always failed to keep up with the changes.
Speaking of the encounters of these years, Thomas and Edward took turns to sigh, feeling that they were unlucky!
In fact, as early as the beginning of 1622, they graduated from Leiden College. At that time, they planned to go to Midgard University for further study and became Joan's classmates again.
Unexpectedly, before they set off to the north, the situation in the New World changed suddenly. First, the sea blue people invaded Alfheim, and shortly thereafter, the Fizen garrison of the Jotunheim colony also went south to invade Midgard. In order to compete for the magic crystal mine And war broke out.
The flames of war raged all over the New World. Under the pressure of reality, Thomas and Edward's trip was delayed, so they had to stay in Leiden College to continue their master's degree studies.
After finally waiting for the war to end and the situation to stabilize, Edward and Thomas got their master’s degrees and planned to go north to study again. Unexpectedly, not long after, the aborigines of Midgard rioted again and fell into war again.
The two brothers were suddenly dumbfounded and forced to give up their trip to the north. Looking back now, they can only feel that they missed the chance to reunite with Joan at Midgard University.
Going back to five years ago, the young and energetic Thomas and Edward were at the same level as Master Joan. The three of them were all geniuses majoring in arcane law at Leiden College. It was unexpected that when they met again five years later, the gap between them was so huge will be so big.
Even if they go to Midgard University for further study, they will not have the chance to be classmates with Joan. After all, he is about to graduate with a Ph.D., and has published a lot of papers. He can get tenure in any university. As for the Mage level The gap...is even bigger.
Joan felt that there was no need for Thomas and Edward to care about this at all. It is true that academic qualifications and papers are a kind of capital, but the gold content must be comparable to that of the general's father or the 80,000-acre plantation?
I'm afraid not.
If Joan was reincarnated, and could freely choose to be the "Second Generation of Officials", "Second Generation of Rich" or "Student Master"... Well, he would still rather be a "Scholar Master".
In addition to the experiences of these years of separation, Edward and Thomas have another important matter, which must be verified by Joan in person.
"Recently there has been an uproar in the city, saying that Master Rawls has been resurrected, Joan, is this a rumor or true?" Edward couldn't wait to inquire.
"It's true, Mr. Principal and I are both witnesses." Joan then recounted the whole story of the resurrection of Master Rawls in detail.
"Great!" Thomas couldn't help cheering, "Joan! I'm going to visit Master Rawls tomorrow. Does he still live in the old place?"
"That's right, it's the old house. By the way, I bought a house nearby. When you and Edward are free, you can come to my house."
"Okay! Okay! Joan, I was still hesitating whether to continue studying for a doctorate. Now that you and Master Rawls are back, I'm still planting corn at home. Why don't I go back to school and continue my studies?" Yes!" Thomas said excitedly.
