Chapter 2496: Graduation and retirement

After leaving Midgard, Qiao An intends to go to Yunzhong City first to learn the 8th-level spell from Gushu Dad. As for where to go next, he has not decided yet.
On this morning, Qiao An received two letters.
The first letter was sent by George Vassar, who was promoted to general by the "Continental Conference" only recently.
After the funeral of Sir Castis, Vaasa left his wife Martha to accompany Rebecca in the monastery, and returned to his hometown Alfheim alone, first settled the affairs of his estate, and reported to the council, the governor and the old superiors. General Gates resigned, and then he will go north to Jotunheim to take over and reorganize the local militia.
General Vassar did not want to be a "polished commander". In addition to his own bodyguard, he had to bring several capable generals to the north, including his old partners Nathaniel Green and Magny Poitan. There are brothers Dick and Roger.
The commander-in-chief still lacks an adjutant who can give advice. Vassar thought of Qiao An for the first time, so he wrote to invite him to serve as his adjutant and chief army mage of the Continental Army.
If this letter were received three days ago, Qiao An would not hesitate to accept Vassar’s invitation and join the army under the inspiration of the "Declaration of Independence" to contribute to the coming colonial independence war.
However, in these short three days, Joan has personally experienced too many changes. The death of Sir Castis, the departure of his mentor and Doer one after another, brought a great impact on his thoughts, and even affected humanity. The cannibalism between the two has no interest at all.
Sitting at the desk, Qiao An wrote a short reply to General Vassar, thanking him for his love, but he was going to go on a long journey. The return date was uncertain, so he had to decline the invitation.
The second letter is from Mr. Franklin.
The old man has resigned as the dean and will retire gloriously this afternoon. Before leaving school, he couldn't worry about Qiao An, so he wrote to invite him to meet him.
In the past few years at Midgard University, in addition to Professor Moriarty, the teacher who cared about Qiao Ann most was none other than Mr. Franklin. Qiao Ann also had deep feelings for the old dean. He learned that his old man was about to retire. We must say goodbye to each other in person.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Qiao Ann opened the door of the dean's office on time and saw Dean Franklin ordering people to sort out the cardboard boxes full of documents, so he rolled up his sleeves and went to help.
"Joan, you don't need to worry about these trivial matters. Come over and have a cup of coffee with me."
The old man Franklin poured a cup of coffee for the young man himself, and handed him a brand new periodical by the way.
"After Trofim's resignation, your kid stopped coming to school. There was no one in the laboratory, so the sample magazine was sent to me. It has been kept for you for a week."
Qiao An thanked him and took over the journal. It turned out to be the "Australian Exploration" (Summer 1626), which was published not long ago, and published his "Introduction to Clusters" with an academic score of 95.
If you don't count the vaccinia paper he collaborated with his supervisor, this is his most acclaimed paper so far. Not surprisingly, it will also be his last paper published at Midgard University.
Putting the journal on the coffee table casually, Qiao An looked up at the white-haired old man holding a coffee cup and was blowing on the heat.
"Mr. Dean, how do you plan to arrange your retirement life?"
"Don't call me the dean, I have regained my freedom!"
Don't look at the man in his 70s, the old man Franklin, but his mentality is as optimistic and passionate as a spiritual guy.
"You also know that I am a person who can't stay idle, watching the New World is about to break out of war, I am not too old, I can jump for a few years, and I want to contribute to the cause of independent revolution, do you think What's up?" The old man's eyes were burning and his face glowing.
"I think it's good, but with your identity and qualifications, you wouldn't be able to go to the front line as an army mage?"
"I want to go to the front line, but it's a pity that the bureaucrats of the Continental Congress look down on me, and they let me less mess with young people. It's too shameful!"
Seeing the old man grumbling angrily, Qiao An almost laughed.
"You are a lot of age, who dares to let you charge on the front line? There is always a more suitable position for you."
"Hey, what I said is, if I can't get to the front line, I plan to go back to my hometown to train for a while, and then I may go abroad."
"Going abroad?"
"Well, Joan, let me just say it clearly. How can the poor family background of our colony just rely on these guns in our colony to win the fight against the true regular army armed to the teeth?"
"It is important for young people to shed blood and sacrifice on the front lines, but to win independence and freedom, assistance from the rear and internationally is also indispensable!"
"The Continental Congress is preparing for the'Foreign Affairs Committee.' Next, diplomats will be selected from the committee and sent to various countries to seek military assistance. Have you heard about this?" Old Franklin asked excitedly.
"I heard Mrs. Josephine talk about it a few days ago. She is also a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and she is the only female member. She is quite proud of this."
"Yes, if nothing else, the countess and I will go abroad for diplomatic work after a while. The place where the countess is stationed... It is likely to be Patus, the capital of the Blue Kingdom. Guess where I am going?"
"Bethlehem, Colasburg, or Bangsar Watt?"
Bangsar Wat is the capital of the Pashua Kingdom and is also known as the "Holy Grail City".
"Hey, you guessed wrong." Old Franklin smiled and shook his head. "Actually, I'm going to...Avalon! I didn't expect it, right?"
Qiao An couldn't help but stunned, it was really unexpected.
"The New World is clamoring for independence and rebelling against King George. You went to the capital of Feizhen to engage in diplomacy. Can someone give you a good face?" Qiao An asked worriedly.
"I am still a bit famous in Feizhen. I have friends in both houses of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Besides, I still use the banner of calling for an armistice and peaceful settlement of disputes. Feizhen is still more concerned about decentness and gentlemanliness. They What can you do with me? Do you want to take the olive branch from my hand and slap my ass?"
Qiao An couldn't help being amused by the old man's humor and self-deprecating, and casually teased him.
"At least I won't be stripped naked, covered with tar and feathers, and dragged to the streets of Avalon for public display."
As if from Qiao Ann's joke, he thought of those extreme actions that he did not agree with. Mr. Franklin shrugged and his expression became a little lonely.
"Joan, don't just talk about me, what are your plans in the future?"
"I want to travel far away, the destination has not been determined yet."
"As expected of you, you always do things that ordinary people can't understand!"
Mr. Franklin opened the drawer, took out a black noodle bronzing certificate, stamped the dean's seal, and smiled and handed it to Joan.
