Chapter 600: The Legendary Man

Joan accepted the first recommendation letter and thanked Uncle Logan gratefully.

Logan waved his hand to indicate that there is no need to be polite, picked up the second letter, the smile on his face was restrained, and his expression became extraordinarily dignified.

"This second letter, you must keep it safe. When you arrive in Midgard City, go to the Gulf Trading Company, find a man named Joseph Adams, and give this letter to him."

Gulf business?

Joseph Adams?

Hearing two familiar names one after another, Qiao An couldn't help showing surprise.

Gulf Trading Company, he had heard Ms. Miranda Fisher, the editor-in-chief of the Leiden Post, talk about it. This firm uses legitimate business as a cover, but it is actually the secret headquarters of the "Sons of Liberty" in Midgard.

As for Joseph Adams, Joan also met once. This person has a higher status in the "Sons of Liberty" than Ms. Miranda. Joan has a letter of recommendation from Ms. Miranda asking him to pass on to Adams. Adams and his colleagues in the Midgard area were entrusted to look after him.

Now suddenly hearing Logan mention Gulf Trading Company and Joseph Adams, Joann couldn't help but have a question.

"Uncle Logan... are you also a member of the Sons of Liberty?"

"I'm an Asa, how could I join the underground gang formed by the colonists?" Logan shook his head with a smile, "I'm not a formal member of 'Sons of Liberty', but I have a good relationship with the high-level members of the association."

"The old friend you mentioned just now refers to Mr. Adams?" Joan continued to inquire.

"It's not Adams, but another person with more energy than Adams, a real big shot, who can solve the problem with a single sentence without showing his face." Logan lowered his voice, with a mysterious expression, "My relationship with that big shot, Even my wife and children don’t know about it. This is not only because of the tense relationship between our Volsong tribe and the colonists, but also because the big man has always kept a low profile and doesn’t want his name to be heard by outsiders. It is too big, and there are too many enemies, if it is revealed that he is still alive, it will definitely occupy the front pages of all newspapers in the New World."

"Who is that gentleman, Uncle Logan, can you tell me?" Joan asked curiously.

"Since I wrote a letter to entrust that gentleman to take care of you, you will see him in person sooner or later, and there is no need to hide it from you, but you must swear that you will never tell anyone the gentleman's address, unless you get his consent!" Luo Gen's face was serious, "I can't tell you the gentleman's address directly, but let you go to the Gulf Trading Company first, give the letter to Adams first, and Adams will forward it to the gentleman, and he will decide whether to meet you. I also didn't want to violate the vow I made at the beginning, so I had to spend a lot of time."

"Don't worry, I swear to keep it secret!" Joan made a solemn promise, feeling more and more curious.

"Joan, you are from Alfheim, have you ever heard of a famous local war hero, people call him Lord Custis?"

"This..." Joan's expression changed suddenly. Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, and the faces of sisters Martha and Rebecca seemed to be right in front of my eyes.

"After all, you are still young, and it is normal that you have never heard of this lord's name. It doesn't matter. You just need to know that the lord is currently living in seclusion in Midgard City. His public identity is a retired military officer who is sick and recuperating. In-depth and simple, he hardly shows up in social situations. Few people know that he is the current chairman of the board of directors of the Midgard Colonial Company and the chairman of the Midgard University Board of Trustees. The order from the colonial governor is more effective!" Uncle Logan said in a low voice.

Joan was dumbfounded.

The sisters Martha and Rebecca had told him long ago that they suspected that their father was still alive and that he was in Midgard City, but they had never heard from him.

Now, after hearing Logan's words, sisters Custis' guesses over the years have been verified, but Joan never expected that Sir Custis, who has a similar strange bloodline to him, is not only still alive, but also Holding the decision-making power of the Colonial Company and Midgard University, this is equivalent to mastering the two major powers of economy and education. Logan said that his power exceeds that of the Governor-General, which is an exaggeration, but it is enough to show that Sir Custis High status, great influence.

Such a big man has not shown his face in the public eye for more than ten years. Few people know of his existence. What is the purpose of deliberately hiding his name so deliberately?

Joan was lost in thought.

"Joan, Lord Custis is my old friend and the person I admire the most in my life. You must know that in my capacity, it is reasonable to say that I cannot make friends with officials of the colonial government, otherwise I will betray the family." suspicion, but this does not affect my friendship with Sir Custis, because I share a common ideal with him." Logan smiled.

"Uncle, what is your common ideal with Sir?" Joan asked curiously.

"Both of us hate war, and we don't want to see the colonists and the aborigines kill each other and shed blood. We are both committed to pushing the colonists and aborigines to resolve their hatred, just like when the colonists first came to this new continent, The two sides work together to help each other, give up the conflict of interests, share the vast and fertile land under our feet and the rich mineral resources buried in the depths of the earth, and jointly build a beautiful homeland belonging to all human beings - we firmly believe that it will be a world where everyone is free. An equal heaven on earth!"

Logan scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, and said a little embarrassedly: "You may think that my idea is too naive and unrealistic, but I also know that people like myself are too small and have limited abilities. It is impossible for the colonists and the aborigines to reach a settlement through my own efforts, but Lord Custis is different. No matter in terms of character or ability, he is a well-deserved great man. He is also the only living great man of our era and our continent..."

"Although he is very ill, people worry that he will die in the next second, but he is Ser Custis after all-as long as the lord is still alive, the colonists of Midgard and our aborigines can still reach an agreement. Hope for reconciliation!"

After listening to Uncle Logan's heartfelt praise of Sir Custis, and then comparing Martha's and Rebecca's memories of their father, and Grandpa's vague mention of his experience with Sir Custis before his death Joan couldn't help being very curious about this legendary figure whose influence spread throughout the two colonies of Alfheim and Midgard.

After receiving the letter of recommendation from Uncle Logan, Joan secretly made up his mind: "When you come to Midgard in the future, you must try to visit Sir Custis and see for yourself whether he is really as legendary as he is. amazing."
