Chapter 798 Military Mission

"That's right. If Joan saves his thoughts and uses them in academics, he can conceive a new paper."

Audrey did not sing against her brother this time.

"Speaking of papers, Joan, is there any news about the paper you submitted last time?" Hailaer asked.

Joan hesitated for a moment, and finally took out the reply letter he received not long ago and handed it to Hailaer.

The Zion siblings immediately poked their heads over and looked at the letter paper curiously.

After reading the reply from the editorial department of "Ofa Review", they learned that Qiao An's paper had passed the review and was about to be published in the core journal in the middle of this month. They were sincerely happy for Qiao An.

The carriage stopped in front of a restaurant in the College District.

Hailaer got off the car first and led Joan and Zion into the restaurant.

Today's meal was a treat for Audrey, and the restaurant Hailaer, the "dominant snake", helped her choose.

The restaurant is small and has a family atmosphere. The boss himself is also the head chef, and the couple are both immigrants from the old world Sea Blue Kingdom. The restaurant also focuses on dishes rich in sea blue country flavor.

Hailaer had already called the restaurant in advance and ordered the main course - a "crispy roasted pork roll" that took a lot of work to cook.

This sea blue country specialty dish uses the best pork belly and cuts it into rectangles, big enough to cover a cutting board, with a thickness of one inch.

The surface of the pork is carefully smeared with a filling made of rosemary, thyme, sage, black pepper, lemon and salt, then rolled up, tied tightly with cotton thread, and baked in the hearth.

Roast the pork until half-cooked and take it out, put the sliced ​​sweet peppers, onions, potatoes, carrots, asparagus and other seasonal vegetables into the baking tray, soak the fat oozing from the meat, then put the pork roll on the grill above the vegetables, put Return the pan to the oven until the pork is fully cooked.

Soon after Joan and the others sat down at the table, the main dish was served.

The proprietress personally cut the pork rolls with the thread removed, cut them into pork chops, served them with grilled vegetables, and poured them with a secret seasoning sauce.

The perfectly grilled pork roll has a bright red skin and a crispy texture. After being cut open, the gravy overflows and exudes a strong aroma of vanilla. Paired with a glass of refreshing beer with snow-white foam, it really whets the appetite.

Joan picked up a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth. The delicious taste exploded in his mouth, and his taste buds were instantly satisfied in all directions without dead ends.

Only delicious food can bring him such pure happiness.

The Zion siblings were also full of praise for their meal, and praised Hailar for choosing a good restaurant.

Audrey proposed a toast to celebrate Joann's successful publication of the thesis, which immediately received a response from Holden and Hailaer.

Joan was burying his head in eating meat, and when he saw this, he quickly put down his knife and fork, toasted with his three friends, and took a gulp of beer.

He seldom touches alcoholic beverages, and he is a bit resistant to the unique bitter taste of hops, but it is rare to go out for dinner with friends, making an exception for a drink, which is good to liven up the atmosphere.

If you don’t try it, you won’t know. Beer and barbecue are a perfect match made in heaven. The slightly bitter taste just plays a wonderful role in relieving greasy. One sip of wine, one sip of meat, the rhythm can’t be stopped!

While enjoying the delicious food, Joan didn't forget about his business, so he asked Audrey, who was sitting opposite, what was the matter that needed his help.

"There is one thing I want to ask everyone for help, but to be precise, I am also entrusted by others."

Audrey put down the knife and fork, and was not in a hurry to answer Joann's question directly, but brought the topic to the school club activities.

"Joan, have you participated in any activities organized by the 'Skull Club' recently?"

"Skeleton Society?"

Joan froze for a moment, then remembered that after returning from the last expedition in the Underdark, he, Holden, and Hyrule had received invitation letters from Arnold. After signing, he was considered a new member of the "Skull Club".

As the most prestigious student club at Midgard University, the "Skeleton Club" is like an elite club on campus, with club activities held every weekend.

There are no fixed rules for the content of the activities. Sometimes it is more casual, where everyone gathers to chat and debate, and sometimes it is very formal, such as holding a grand masquerade party.

It has been more than a month since Qiao An joined the club, but he has not yet participated in a club event. After reading the invitation letter for the event, he put it aside casually, and never thought of attending it.

Hearing Audrey's question now, he remembered that Audrey was his referrer for joining the club.

I am always absent from club activities, and I am clearly a bastard who makes up for the number. I am afraid that it will cause dissatisfaction among other club members, and even involve Audrey, the referrer. The more I think about it, the more unhappy I am.

"Sorry, I haven't attended club activities yet."

"Angel and Ryan, ask me why you are always absent. Let me tell you the truth, you have been busy writing papers recently and have no time to take part in social activities."

"If those two little mages knew that your paper was about to be published in the "Arcana Review", I don't know how envious they would be."

After listening to Audrey's words, Joan became more fond of Angel and Ryan.

It's rare for someone to take the initiative to care about me. In the future, I should communicate more with these two students. After all, they are studying in the same major and there are many topics to talk about.

"Audrey, I only participated in one club event, and I haven't attended it since then. Will club members like me and Joan, who often release pigeons, be expelled from the 'Skeleton Club'?"

Hailar asked a little worriedly.

"Expulsion is not enough. The 'Skeleton Club' is a very good social platform. Occasionally attend club activities and meet some new friends. It won't do you any harm."

Audrey turned to Joan with soft eyes.

"Don't think that club activities are just a group of rich young men and ladies gathering together to eat, drink and have fun. In fact, there are many good students like you in the 'Skeleton Club'. They often argue endlessly about academic issues during gatherings. Maybe you will be interested. topic."

"I will definitely participate in the next club event." Qiao An solemnly promised.

"Actually, what I want to talk about today has something to do with club activities."

Audrey returned to the topic.

"You also know that the school releases new internship tasks every month."

"The partner of the internship is either the colonial company or the Midgard military. Most of the colonial company's missions are expedition missions, while the military's missions are often closely related to the local security situation."

"One of the internship missions this month is to cooperate with the military. The risk is even higher than the last expedition mission we carried out in the Underdark Region."

Audrey's face gradually became serious.

Joan, Holden and Hailaer put down their knives and forks at the same time, listening to her story with curiosity and expectation.
