Chapter 2094: Visitors from the Old World (Ⅰ)

After Mrs. Anderson's death, Joan no longer hired butlers or servants, and all cats and dogs were sent to the Gulf Commercial Bank for foster care, living alone in that old house.
Audrey and Holden have moved into the mansion they bought in Uptown. The siblings worry that Qiao Ann is too lonely to live in the old house. They have repeatedly invited him to move to Uptown. They still live together as before.
Qiao Ann always politely declined the invitation of Sister Zion. There are two main reasons. One is that he doesn't feel lonely, and the other is that the old house is close to the school and it is more convenient to live here.
Audrey and Holden respect his choice, but every time they talk about this topic, they are always sad.
Qiao An actually has a feeling of the past. As he gets older and the external environment changes, the partners who originally lived under the same roof have their own lives and careers, so they have to go their separate ways. Getting along day and night as before, gathering less and more has become the norm.
Although this does not harm their friendship, there will always be a moment when Qiao An realizes that the good years are always fleeting. In the long flow of time, no one can stand still. No matter how close the relationship is, the partner will sooner or later. There is a day when things go away and everyone is separated forever.
After Mrs. Anderson's death, Qiao'an's life also changed a little.
There is no one at home to help him clean, wash and cook, so he can only do it himself.
Fortunately, Qiao An is a mage, and magic can help him solve family chores. For example, when it is necessary to clean, cast a spell to summon a group of "invisible servants", and it takes less than an hour to clean the house.
The problem of eating is also easy to solve. In addition to occasional dinners with friends, Qiao Ann can also like other happy bachelors, in the small alleys crowded with restaurants near the school, and find a restaurant to fill their stomachs.
If you don't want to eat outside, Qiao An can also use the 2-ring "food making technique" to create a simple meal out of thin air to fill your stomach.
When I'm busy, I don't care about eating, and I simply spend 3 points of psionic power to show the 2nd level of psychic power "Bigoku", and I will not feel hungry and thirsty all day without eating or drinking, and I can stay energetic.
Most of the day, Qiao An used to delve into the theory of viruses and infectious diseases, trying to develop a safer and more reliable smallpox vaccine than "human pox" based on the research results of Professor Moriarty, thereby blocking The spread of the new smallpox virus among the indigenous peoples of the New World.
Unfortunately, this job was far more difficult than Qiao An expected. After more than a month of busy work, the progress was not satisfactory to him.
Qiao An has considered seeking guidance from Professor Moriarty, and it is best to borrow the "Grail of Death" from the mentor in order to cultivate the virus, which will be of great help to his work.
However, since the last time I quarreled with my mentor about the smallpox virus, and realized that his weird blood line had been seen through by the mentor, Qiao An was inconvenienced to discuss this matter with the mentor, lest he uncover the scars again. Deepen the gap between teachers and students.
The quiet days lasted until the beginning of July. When Qiao Ann was reading the literature in the library that morning, he received a
SMS
from Audrey, inviting Qiao Ann to attend the banquet at her home tonight. The four guests were from Guests of the old world.
Of course, the princess knows that Qiao An has never liked to participate in social activities, and specifically emphasized in the letter that these four distinguished guests are extraordinary. Two of them are from the Kingdom of Kolas in the Far East and are special envoys on behalf of Prince Roland to visit the New World. There are also two What's more, from Bethlehem, the capital of Canaan, they are Audrey's eldest brother and sister-in-law, Canaan Crown Prince Kolova Zion and Princess Maria.
The two Far East envoys didn’t matter. Audrey and Holden’s brother-in-law came to visit. As a good friend of Zion’s sister and brother, Qiao Ann was of course able to meet the wind, so he wrote back to Audrey, stating that he must go to the banquet on time in the evening. She also asked her if she wanted to bring gifts.
"Don't spend money, just remember to bring a bunch of flowers."
Through the "Higher Heart Connection" created by the "Communication Stone", the princess's laughter came.
"What flower?" Qiao Ann asked Audrey.
"Fresh seasonal flowers can be used to decorate the table."
"Ok."
Qiao An ended the call and went to the flower shop near the school to stroll around. When he came out, he was holding a large bouquet of various flowers recommended by the shopkeeper’s sister. They were colorful and fragrant, walking on the road, sometimes fascinating. The passerby looked sideways.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Qiao Ann stuffed the bouquet into the storage bag. Waved and stopped a rental carriage and told the coachman to go to the upper city.
Sitting in the car, Qiao Ann patted his forehead suddenly, realizing that he had just done a stupid thing!
Why spend money on flowers?
If you want any flowers, you can use the "weak creation technique" by yourself and just change them directly.
However, after buying all of them, Qiao Ann can only comfort himself. Anyway, those silver coins are not bad. Besides, the flowers transformed by magic are fake after all, and it would be embarrassing if they were seen through by the guests.
Arriving in the villa area where Audrey's house is, Qiao An just got off the carriage holding the bouquet, and heard the familiar bird song from the roadside.
"Brother Master!"
"Brother Master!"
Qiao An followed the prestige and saw Hailar wearing a long emerald dress and a gauze milliner's hat, just getting off the carriage.
A parrot stood on the girl's shoulders, with a bunch of golden dull fur on top of her head, which contrasted with the double ponytails hanging from her mistress's ears.
"Haila, Dolly, good evening."
Qiao An held the bouquet with one hand and freed his right hand to say hello.
Hailar, who has reached the age of 18, is now a slim and beautiful woman, especially when she put on the dresses for the banquet, she smiled and waved to Qiao An with a smile, and walked naturally. Up his arms.
"What a beautiful flower, is it for me?"
"Emmmm... I'll give you one, and the rest will be used to set up the table." Qiao An said reluctantly.
Hailar gave him a cute white look, and drew a delicate red rose from the bouquet, and put it on the hat belt, let alone, it was pretty.
Dolly the Parrot leaped on Joanne's shoulder, staring at the bouquet with her small shiny eyes, eager to try.
Qiao Ann thought she wanted a flower too, but in the next moment Dolly put her head into the depth of the bouquet, and when she pulled her head out, there was a bee in her mouth, and she proudly showed it to him. Eat Pacman, swallow the poor little bee.
Seeing this scene, Qiao An couldn't help feeling a phantom pain...
"Dolly! Bees are beneficial insects!"
At the gate of the courtyard, a gentleman in formal clothes and a dog-like appearance saw a parrot eating bees and deliberately criticized her for killing beneficial insects.
