Chapter 2438 Life Foundation
In Joan's impression, Professor Moriarty has always called himself an "egoist", and he usually teaches his students with this idea, but now his behavior has suddenly changed from extreme egoism into extreme fraternity and selflessness.
What kind of mental journey caused the professor to undergo such a sudden change? How does it relate to the question he had asked his mentor?
Joan couldn't give a reasonable explanation for these questions.
Mrs. Josephine pondered for a long time, and finally broke her silence, her words were full of bitterness.
"Based on what I know about Trophim, he has a strong tendency to self-destruct in his bones. When he does unbelievable behaviors, it is best for others not to speculate what he is doing. It is probably self-destructive. Tendency to drive him to make irrational decisions, to put it bluntly, self-willed and crazy."
Joan looked at her, hesitating to speak.
The countess gave him an angry look, and said with reproach: "Don't treat me as an outsider, just speak up!"
"Ma'am, in fact, sometimes you also have that... irrational tendency. Of course, this is just my personal feeling, and it is more likely to be my misunderstanding."
Joan was still embarrassed to say the word "crazy" in person.
"You're right, Trophim and I are the same kind." The Countess shrugged and spread her hands, her self-deprecating smile hard to hide her sadness.
...
Orphen delivered on his promise.
At dusk that day, the "Wonderland of Oz" surrounding Grizzly Town was quietly lifted, along with the curse cast on humans and animals.
The dense forests that surround Grizzly are still there, but the supernatural plants and fungi have disappeared in this vast green field.
Joan cast a spell to summon 26,000 sparrows, divided them into several clusters, and sent them out to search for those townspeople who found themselves lost in the dense forest after regaining their human form. They made a sound through the "myth link" to guide them back to Grizzly Town safely.
After working all night, the townspeople were finally settled. In the early morning of the next day, the Walsong brothers and sisters said goodbye to Joan and the others, and followed Orphen back to Shizhu Town.
That morning, Baron Laval led his troops into Grizzly Town, and Mrs. Josephine came forward to hand over, and then took Joan, Pinkerton, Hylar, Audrey, and Holden to leave the town that had suffered a lot.
So far, the missions of Pinkerton, Hailar, and Zion have been successfully completed. Next, Mr. Detective went back to collect the bounty, and Hailar and Zion finally got enough credits for graduation.
In contrast, Joan and Mrs. Josephine's work has just started, and there are still many worries waiting for them.
Mrs. Josephine will first go to the Governor's Mansion to report the results of the mediation to Lord Nichols, and then submit the memorandum to the parliament for discussion, and it will be officially effective after the vote is passed.
Your Excellency the Governor had already communicated privately in the parliament in advance, and the MPs who supported the compromise were almost 50/50 with those who opposed the compromise. The next key was to win over the centrist MPs.
Joan didn't stay at the school for too long, so he teleported back to the dairy farm in Wenquan Town that night, and hurriedly found his mentor, trying to persuade him to seriously consider publishing the paper.
However, as Mrs. Josephine said, Professor Moriarty was extremely stubborn about this matter, and he patted his chest to assure his students: "Don't worry about it, I have already considered the consequences, everything It's all under control!"
Qiao An knew that the professor had always been (cunning), far-sighted (treacherous), thoughtful (cunning), and since he was so confident, he thought he was ready to retreat, so he dispelled his worries and devoted himself to scientific research by working overtime.
Two days later, the Midgard Colonial Council held a hearing on the peace agreement that Lady Josephine had signed with Orphen.
Joan specially asked for leave from her tutor, and watched the highest-level parliamentary debate in the colony for the first time in her life, which was really an eye-opener!
He also attended the parliament in his hometown of Delin Township, and heard and witnessed the members of the parliament debated fiercely, and even abused each other. However, it was only a township council after all, and most of the town councilors were countrymen who didn't pay much attention to gentlemanly demeanor.
Qiao Anke never expected that in the parliament building of the colonial capital, the well-dressed councilors wearing wigs would argue more intensely than the town council, and their style would be rougher. Members of Parliament should start with group fights!
Joan watched a gray-haired old gentleman, unable to bear the endless eloquence of his political opponent, picked up a folding stool and slapped the opponent on the head, opened the ladle on the spot, blood spurted out, it was a tragedy!
Then the whole venue became a mess.
The ink bottle flew past the nose of Joan, the melon-eater, scaring him into the form of an incorporeal ghost, fearing that he would be forced to be involved in this "war of gentlemen".
Due to the chaos, the parliament was suspended.
Many MPs worth millions had bruises and swollen faces after fighting each other, but it did not hinder the voting that afternoon. Finally, the compromise agreement was passed with a narrow margin of three votes. Qiao An finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After the bill was passed, Mrs. Josephine took Joan to the Tuileries Hotel to attend the celebration banquet, where celebrities gathered. In addition to the congressmen who supported the bill, Governor Nichols also showed face and attended in person.
Joan was not interested in the social activities of businessmen and politicians, especially when Mrs. Josephine introduced him to the guests, besides his doctorate title, she also emphasized that he was his "heir". Thought-provoking.
From the way people looked at him, it was not difficult for Joan to see a common guess—suspecting that he was the Countess' illegitimate son.
This made him very embarrassed, and it was inconvenient for him to explain in public, so he could only complain in his heart that Mrs. Josephine's joke was too much.
At the dinner, Mrs. Josephine announced that she would create a charity called the "Life Foundation" to raise funds for the construction of a pharmaceutical factory. The initial mission was to produce a new type of smallpox vaccine and provide free vaccinations to the poor and aborigines in the colonies.
This public welfare undertaking costs a lot of money. Mrs. Josephine admitted frankly that personal financial resources alone cannot sustain it for a long time, and it is necessary to raise funds from all walks of life.
Tonight's banquet is actually a charity fundraising party.
Joan had known the countess' plan for a long time, and used 500,000 gold Duga from her savings to sponsor her charity.
Professor Moriarty also showed extraordinary generosity, donating 1 million Gold Duga and entrusting his students to hand over his ex-girlfriend, and offered to set aside a piece of land in his ranch for free to the "Life Foundation" , for the construction of pharmaceutical factories.
