Chapter 423: The World Is Impermanent (Ⅱ)

Joan didn't want to mention his miscarriage rescue plan at first, but the eloquent Kandy didn't intend to keep it a secret for him.

When camping that night, Conti talked about how he and Joanne came to the front line, how they disguised themselves and sneaked into the enemy camp, how they dug tunnels to try to rescue everyone, and how they overheard Louis Jumonville and Diego Antonioni on the way. The conversation was told vividly.

After listening to her account of the whole incident, Vasa and others finally solved the mystery in their hearts and figured out the reason for their release.

Although the rescue operation of Joan and Kandy has not yet been launched, everyone is deeply moved by their courage and intention to risk their lives to sneak into the enemy to rescue people.

A total of about 400 officers and soldiers left the prisoner-of-war camp alive, and there were many wounded with limited mobility. Obviously, the marching speed of such a team could not be fast, and it would take half a month's journey to return to the Delin River Valley. knight camp.

Today is October 5th. As early as four days ago, the new semester of Leiden College started. Joan had been absent from classes for several days, and he couldn't continue to delay. That night, he bid farewell to Lieutenant Colonel Vassar and others, and left Large troops, turned into Eagles and flew to Delin Town.

Kandy hesitated for a while between staying with his elder brother and following Joan, but soon made a decision, turning into a falcon and flying away after Joan.

Magni watched his sister's figure go away quickly, smiled wryly and shook his head, unable to tell what it was like.

After two hours of flying, Joan and Kandy landed in Delin Town together with the night.

Jamie and Gray were still guarding the door, and when they saw the little master coming back, they ran over excitedly to greet him.

After her grandfather passed away, Joan had no immediate family members in this world.

The word "hometown" is now like a faded scroll to him, becoming blurred and distant, losing the original sense of belonging.

In Delin town, the only ones who could be regarded as his family were Jamie and Gray.

That night, Joan chatted with Kandy for a long time in his hut, and the topics mainly revolved around their future plans.

Kandy has been away from home for too long, and her parents have sent letters urging her to go home many times. Now that Magni and Asa Hunter have regained their freedom, she has no reason to stay outside and has to return to Powhatan Village as soon as possible.

Joan's studies cannot be delayed either, and he will fly back to Leiden Port tomorrow morning.

Neither Jamie nor Gray could fly, so they couldn't accompany him. Moreover, a "grey sack" like Gray was not allowed to settle in the city.

If Jamie and Gray are allowed to live in Delin Town, considering their intelligence level, Joan is really worried, and finally can only entrust them to Conti to take care of them, and she will bring Jamie and Gray back to Yar Settled in the Gunkyo Valley.

Conti's affection for Jamie and Gray is no less than that of Joan. In fact, he had planned to take them home for a long time, so he readily accepted Joan's entrustment and told him to often go to Powhatan Village when he was on vacation. Visiting relatives.

Grandpa has passed away, and Jamie and Gray are about to move to the Algonquin Valley with Conti. For Joan today, Powhatan Village actually fits the definition of "home" better than Delin Town.

Early the next morning, Joan bid farewell to Conti, Jamie and Gray, and under their reluctant eyes, he turned into a Hawkman and took off.

After hovering over Delin Town for several weeks, Joan finally hardened his heart and turned around to fly north.

Across the vast fields, jungles and rivers, Joan gradually moved away from the hometown that left him with endless sorrow. The bustling buildings of Port Leiden appeared on the horizon, as if to indicate that a new life was opening to him while saying goodbye to the past.

Thinking of going back to her comfortable, warm and book-filled nest, to the quiet and peaceful campus, and to her kind tutor and classmates, Qiao An's mood also turned from depression to excitement.

However, when he finally walked into the school gate, he immediately found that the atmosphere on campus was very abnormal.

The people on the road were in a hurry, without smiles on their faces, and they seemed preoccupied. There were also uniformed patrolmen wandering around the campus. Their eyes made Joan unconsciously think of eagles and jackals.

Full of doubts, Qiao An walked quickly to her dormitory. Along the way, I met several students of the same grade, all of whom were familiar with each other, and Joan waved and greeted each other naturally.

When the other party saw him, without exception, they looked stunned and reluctantly nodded in response, hesitating as if they wanted to say something to him, but in the end they turned their heads and walked away, leaving him with more doubts.

"What happened?" Joan had a vague premonition.

Walking into the lobby on the first floor of the dormitory, as soon as Joan entered the door, he saw Edward Gates and Thomas Chap sitting on the sofa facing each other, both in a daze with sad faces.

Joan glanced at the clock, the hour hand pointed to nine o'clock in the morning, and couldn't help asking in surprise: "Thomas, Edward, it's already nine o'clock, why are you still in the dormitory? If you don't go to class soon, Teacher Rawls will lose his temper gone."

"Hey, Joan, you're finally back." Thomas stood up and greeted him listlessly, with a bitter smile, "It's a pity that you came too late, and I'm afraid you won't have the chance to attend Rawls's class again. "

Joan's body shook, and he stared at Thomas in astonishment, his voice trembling: "Mr. Rawls... what happened?"

"The mentor has passed away." Edward's face was heavy and his voice was hoarse. "Three days ago, he died in a murder."

"How can this be!"

Joan's legs softened and he fell down on the sofa, his whole head was in a daze, and he couldn't believe the bad news he just heard.

"Edward, Thomas... you two are acting together to play tricks on me, right? What's going on here!"

"Joan, I know it's hard for you to accept this. When I first heard the news, I couldn't believe it was true. However, this is not a joke—no one dares to joke about this kind of thing."

Edward said sullenly.

Qiao An sat for a long time, finally regained some sense of reality, forced himself to calm down, and asked, "When was the mentor killed?"

"The night before yesterday, he was murdered in his laboratory. It was a coincidence. On the same night, an arcane instructor was assassinated and killed in the laboratory next door." Thomas said in a low voice.

"The laboratory next door?" Joan quickly recalled, and then asked him: "Master Wordsworth, or Walter Lee?"

"Walter Lee."

Thomas sighed, the resentment hard to hide on his face.

"It's not a pity for a person like 'Old Owl' to die. I really don't understand why someone would be so cruel as to murder Mr. Rawls, a kind person who is always kind to others. I can't even imagine that he has offended who!"
