Chapter 2697

Joan rested his chin, thought about it secretly, and thought of a possibility.

"Old Dean, I saw some gossip on the Yunwang forum. It is said that His Majesty Roland hates the slavery system practiced in the colonies very much, so he is not willing to talk about "freedom and equality" with the gang in power in the Continental Congress. Dealing with hypocrites who dominate their black slaves."

The old man Franklin nodded as if he had realized something, and his face was ashamed.

"If this is the case, I have no right to complain about His Majesty Roland's favoritism. After all, there are a few black slaves in my family... ahem!"

"Oh, ashamed to say it! I'm one of those 'verbal abolitionists,' and a hypocrite!"

"My old dean, you are not a hypocrite if you have such a self-blame mentality and dare to speak out publicly!"

Joan was not ashamed to say the following words:

If you accuse Mr. Franklin of not practicing the idea of ​​abolition of slavery, then examine the other representatives of the Continental Congress according to this standard...it may be unfair to say that they are all "hypocrites".

At this time, there was a wave of magic power in the air, and a ball of red light floated above the dining table, floating towards Joan.

Joan held the ball of light to read the "short message technique", and then said to the old man Franklin: "It's Kantie and the Walsung brothers and sisters. They are studying at the University of Kolasberg. They know that I will visit you this morning. Wait for me in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel."

The old man Franklin canceled the "Mage's Chamber of Secrets", smiled and waved at him: "Go and accompany your little friend, I will be busy with my own affairs after I finish smoking this pipe, we will all live in Fort Colas for a while. , and there are opportunities to meet and chat.”

Qiao An bid farewell to the old dean and hurried downstairs. Just as she walked out of the stairs, she saw three familiar figures and couldn't help waving her hands excitedly.

"Joan! I finally see you again!"

Conti, who had put on winter clothes, was still slender and slender. When he saw Joan, his eyes turned red with excitement, and he couldn't help but want to run over to hug him. Unexpectedly, Haakon was half a step ahead of him, rushing forward with lightning speed. Come over and hug Joan, shouting excitedly.

"Brother Joan! I haven't seen you for two years, I miss you so much!"

"Yeah, long time no see, I didn't expect to meet again here."

Joan patted Haakon's big brother on the shoulder, and accidentally noticed that Conti pouted with aggrieved face. With his witty mind and developed EQ, after thinking about it for just ten seconds, he guessed that Conti might be complaining. When he left her out in the cold, he left Haakon aside first, went over to hug Kandy, and cared about her...it could be considered his childhood sweetheart.

Slude fell behind Conti intentionally or unintentionally, and looked at Joan with his usual arrogant look, with a slight teasing look in his eyes, as if saying:

"I haven't seen you for two years, why haven't you changed at all, you still look like a kid!"

Sensing Slude's gaze, Joan wanted to hug her, but suddenly remembered that the "Iron Rose of Stone Pillar Town" had thorns all over her body, and the story of the robbery in Winterhold, so she couldn't help being a little embarrassed, so she changed the hug into a handshake.

Slude glared at him angrily, and slapped away the right hand he handed over.

Qiao An was taken aback for a moment, temporarily unable to figure out how he offended this young lady? This wave, is that the old world has encountered new problems.

Just when he was about to start the "Spiritual Theater" to calm down the shock and analyze a wave of countermeasures, Slude leaned over with a straight face and took the initiative to give him a strong hug.

ah? Where is this trouble coming from?

Joan was a little confused.

Fortunately, after all, her emotional intelligence is developed, so she hugged Slude's waist like a conditioned reflex, and praised her for her good appetite during her study abroad, and her muscles are much stronger than two years ago.

"Bah! Dogs can't spit out ivory!" Slude gave him a white look, his cheeks flushed slightly.

Kandy covered her mouth and snickered, then coughed twice, changed the subject, and asked Joan how long she planned to live in Fort Colas and what her plans were next.

Joan chatted with the long-lost friends and learned about their situation.

Conti is currently studying at the Coulasberg Agricultural College, and will go to the headquarters of the "Harvest Ring" in the "Green Field Village" for practice after a while, and accept the personal guidance of Ms. Valentina.

I have to say that Conti's luck is really good! At the beginning, she didn't control her mouth and called "Sister Valentina", but instead of blaming her for being disrespectful, the other party remembered this innocent girl and made an exception to personally teach her to practice natural magic.

Considering that Ms. Valentina has not accepted an apprentice for almost ten years, and there are rumors that she is about to become a god, Conti is likely to become the legendary archdruid's closed disciple in the world.

Haakon and Slude are studying at the Knight Academy of Collasberg University. Although they are not as lucky as Condy, the brothers and sisters have won the appreciation of the instructors with their outstanding performance.

The Asa youths studying in Kolasberg are assigned to different colleges according to their specialties and interests. They take cultural classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and receive military training on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Haakon's grades in cultural classes were mediocre, but he performed very well in military training. He was the first in his grade in three subjects: shooting, fighting, and bomb throwing. Even the chief instructor of the training camp, General Wiglaf, praised him as a good candidate.

"Your Excellency General, you are just saying something polite, why do you take it seriously!"

Slude is very disdainful of his elder brother's self-satisfied virtue.

"If I also use my real skills, the first place in each subject will not be yours at all!"

This is really not bragging. Slude has the best performance in cultural subjects among all the trainees. This is especially valuable among the young Asa who generally lack systematic education and do not even understand the importance of general education.

Compared with cultural courses, Slude is very low-key in military training. Her character is not as pushy as Haakon. It is enough to keep her training results at an upper-middle level. Only one training class, she did not deliberately hide The strength, the performance is particularly outstanding.

"Joan, don't you know? Sister Slude is the most powerful mech armor driver in the training camp. Even General Bloom, the chief instructor of the armor knight, praised her for being very talented and often used her as a role model. Stimulate those boys with poor driving skills!"

Candy couldn't help making a "small report".

Slude smiled slightly, his eyes hard to hide his complacency.

"I really like driving the mechanical armor, as if I have merged with the armor and turned into a steel giant standing upright. It's really hard for me to describe to you in words the mysterious feeling of being one with the armor!"

"Is it that exaggerated?" Haakon looked at his younger sister suspiciously, "Why do I feel that the mechanical armor is very bulky and inconvenient to operate, it's like wearing a big padded jacket soaked in water and frozen, not to mention how uncomfortable it is! "
