Chapter 2273: Class reunion (Ⅱ)

"Joan! When did your kid come back?"
"It's too interesting without notifying us when we go home!"
The two sons of Mayor Tyndall's family, Dick and Roger, ran over excitedly and embraced Joan warmly.
The two brothers have been in the army for five years. They have been following Colonel Vassar in the North and South wars. Now they have been promoted to captain of the cavalry and are the most promising young officers in the Alfheim colony.
The officers who came to the White House Manor for a banquet tonight, as well as two old friends who had fought alongside Qiao An, Colonel Nathaniel Green and the Asadian officer from the Argonquin Valley-Magni Lieutenant Colonel Poitan.
There was some embarrassment in the joy of the old friend's reunion. Magney took an opportunity and dragged Joanne to a secluded corner, aggressively, like a lion examining its prey.
"Joan, have you written to my sister recently?"
"Uh...it's been a long time, is Conti okay?"
Qiaoan's forehead oozes cold sweat.
Rebecca's problem has not been solved yet, a new crisis has emerged, and it is destined to be very difficult tonight.
"Ha! I can't answer this kind of thing, you kid can't write a letter to Conti in person, telling her that you have returned to Leiden?" Magni made a blatant hint.
"Okay, Brother Magni, I'll write to Conti when I get home." Joan bit the bullet and made a promise.
"A man can do what he says!" Magni slapped his shoulder again. "Next Sunday at the latest, if Conti hasn't received your letter, boy, believe it or not, I will tie you up and you to Poland. Watan Village!"
Magni's nickname "Madman" is not a joke, Joan absolutely believes that he will do what he says, and hastily promised to write to Conti as soon as possible, and finally managed to deal with it.
As night fell, carriages came in an endless stream from outside the manor. Most of the visitors were relatives and friends of the Castis family, as well as Rebecca’s classmates. Among them were the two of Qiao'an who was studying at Leiden College. Friends, Thomas Chapp and Edward Gates, both students of Professor Rawls.
After meeting again after five years, Qiao Ann discovered that Edward was taller, almost six feet eight inches tall, and still so thin, standing in the crowd like a flagpole!
Thomas' figure was plump, and his white cheeks were like hair dough. When he saw Qiao'an, he was crying and crying. He rushed to hug him and didn't let go. The tears of excitement in the crowd were really not at all. To be ashamed.
Friends have reunited after a long absence, Qiao Ann's nose is sour, Edward's eye circles are also red, and Thomas, the three young people gather together and have endless topics.
Thomas and Edward are now 8th-level wizards, and both carry their own familiars with them.
Thomas's favorite is a chubby cute hamster, and Edward's favorite is a cold owl.
"Joan, I have to expose Thomas' sinister intentions to you. Knowing that I hate mice, I deliberately chose a hamster as a favorite, which is obviously provoking me!" Edward complained angrily.
"Come on, Edward, I chose this familiar only because I like hamsters. I don't have a copper plate relationship with you!" Thomas immediately counterattacked, "On the contrary, it is you. I didn’t hesitate to choose an owl as a demon favorite, and it was obviously killing my hamster! Qiao An, do you think he is careful?"
Qiao An saw that the two of them were still like before, teasing and chattering at each other as soon as they met, and felt warm in his heart when he was funny, as if returning to the carefree childhood.
Recalling that five years ago, when Joe Ann decided to leave Leiden College, Thomas and Edward made an agreement with him-to graduate from Leiden College as soon as possible, and to study at Midgard University in the future.
However, destiny made a joke with them, and the plan always failed to keep up with the changes.
Speaking of the encounters over the years, Thomas and Edward sighed and groaned in turn, feeling that they were unlucky!
In fact, as early as the beginning of 1622, they graduated from Leiden College with a bachelor's degree. At that time, they planned to go to Midgard University for further study and once again become Qiao An's classmates.
Unexpectedly, they hadn’t set off to go north, the New World changed the situation. First, the Aquamarine invaded Alfheim, and shortly thereafter, the Feizhen garrison of the Jotunheim colony also invaded Midgard south in order to compete for the magic crystal vein. And the war broke out.
Wars ignited throughout the New World, Thomas and Edward were forced by the pressure of reality, and the trip was delayed, so they had to stay at Leiden College to continue their master's degree.
Finally, when the war ended and the situation stabilized, Edward and Thomas got their master's degrees and planned to go north to school again. After a while, the aborigines of Midgard rioted again and fell into war again.
The brothers were dumbfounded and forced to abandon their trip to the north. Looking back now, they can only feel that they missed the chance to reunite with Qiao An at Midgard University.
Going back to five years ago, the young and energetic Thomas and Edward and Qiao Ann were of the same level. The three were all talented teenagers in the Austrian law major of Leiden College. Unexpectedly, when they met again five years later, the gap between them was unexpected. It will be so big.
Even if they go to Midgard University for further studies, they will not have the opportunity to be classmates with Qiao An. After all, they are almost graduating with Ph.Ds. They have sent out a basket of papers, and they can get tenure at any university. As for the master level The gap... is even bigger.
Qiao An felt that Thomas and Edward didn't have to care about this at all. Education and thesis are certainly a kind of capital, but the gold content must be comparable to the general father or 80,000 acres of plantation?
I'm afraid not necessarily.
If Qiao An is reborn and can freely choose to be the "second generation of officials", "the rich second generation" or "student master"...Well, he would rather be a "student master".
In addition to their separate experiences over the years, Edward and Thomas have one more important matter that must be verified in person by Joan.
"Recently, there has been an uproar in the city that Master Rawls has been resurrected, Joan, is this a rumor or true?" Edward couldn't wait to inquire.
"It's true, Mr. Principal and I are both witnesses." Qiao An then recounted the whole story of the resurrection of Master Rawls in detail.
"Great!" Thomas couldn't help cheering, "Joan! I will visit Master Rawls tomorrow. He still lives in the same place, right?"
"That's right, it's the old house. By the way, I bought a house nearby. You and Edward can come to my house when you and Edward are free."
"Okay! Okay! Joe Ann, I was hesitant to continue studying for a PhD. Now that you and Master Rawls are back, I'm still growing corn at home, so it's better to go back to school and continue studying. Go!" Thomas said excitedly.
