For most people, this night is a rare moment of relaxation.
Although the devil's floating city is still moving towards Hermes day and night, at least the Dawn King cannot see this scene. Being away from the front line gave everyone a short period of tranquility, especially when they would rush to the battlefield again the next day and go their separate ways, such tranquility became even more valuable.
When Andrea walked into the family mansion compound, Howard Quinn was already waiting for her at the door.
"Welcome home, daughter."
"Well..." Andrea nodded slightly. This was her first return to the family mansion after a year, and she did not break in, but entered with the welcome of the servants. To be honest, she would rather spend this time with Tilly, but when she received the invitation from the other party, she felt a touch in her heart, and finally agreed inexplicably.
This kind of thing can obviously be told to her directly after the meeting.
Probably...he is also afraid of rejection.
But when it came to face to face, she didn't know what to say.
After all, this was different from the last meeting. At that time, she came with a mission, but now it was just a slightly unfamiliar reunion.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Andrea asked as she walked in the aisle.
"Many, such as what you experienced on the front line, such as your partners, such as Mr. Roland Wimbledon..."
"That's just an idiot, there's nothing to talk about-" Andrea replied casually, and then realized something was wrong, "Uh, I mean..."
"It can be seen that he is a tolerant man." Horford smiled, "Don't worry, I know you are not used to it. If it is just two people talking, this night may be very difficult, so I have made some preparations. "
"Prepare?"
"You'll understand when you go in." He stopped at the door of the main hall.
Andrea opened the door with some confusion. Before she could see clearly what was going on in the room, a figure rushed towards her——
"I miss you so much, Sister Quinn!"
I see……
She opened her hands slightly amusedly and let the other person hug her.
It was Belinda Losey who rushed forward.
In addition, there are two other people at the long table-Otto Losi and Oro Tokat. The latter two also seemed quite excited, and Otto even looked a little at a loss.
This scene instantly made Andrea seem to have returned to the days when she had not awakened to become a witch more than ten years ago.
Belinda's chirping and Auro's enthusiasm quickly resolved the initial stiffness, and my father, who almost never talked and laughed with the younger generation, also rarely sat with them.
In order to have a few words with her, he really had good intentions... Andrea suddenly found that the hatred in her heart was almost gone.
"By the way, after the war is over, we will also go to Neverwinter City, and then we can see each other more often." Belinda winked at her.
Andrea raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You mean..."
"Of course the three of us together!"
"Yeah, yeah!" Oro nodded vigorously.
"Wait... Otto and Oro are the heirs of the family, right? Can your two old earls agree to leave the territory for a long time?" Andrea looked at Otto with a suspicious face. Could it be this guy? Secretly instigating? That would be too irresponsible.
"No...it's not what you think," Otto waved his hands quickly and stammered, "Although I also hope so, but that, that is only part of the factor...Anyway, in short..."
"Let me explain it." Belinda patted her brother's shoulder sympathetically, and then said to Andrea, "You rarely stay in Chenxi, so you don't know the recent changes. Now in big cities, Especially in the aristocratic circles of Glow City, a saying has gradually spread, that is, if a family knows nothing about nature, then it is destined to decline."
"Natural science? Could it be..."
"That's right," Belinda smiled and nodded, "It was indeed the "Theoretical Foundation of Natural Science" published by Neverwinter at the beginning, but now it has been refined into multiple disciplines. Some people call it Xinxianxue, Some people think that alchemy and astrology are only part of it, but no matter what, there is indeed such a trend in the aristocratic circle, and as long as it is a natural science book from Neverwinter, there will be merchants buying it at a high price."
"My father was also affected, so when we proposed this idea, he didn't object too much - after all, self-study is not as good as having someone to guide you." She continued, "What's more, there are already several families who are ahead of the curve. , Father probably doesn’t want the Luoxi family to fall behind. So this is not an irresponsible approach! In my father’s words, there will be no problem if he persists for a few more years.”
"They are just stimulated by airplanes and steel ships," Oro shrugged nonchalantly, "Of course, if you can let me go out and travel, I support it with both hands."
"That's exactly what I want to say..." Otto breathed a sigh of relief, "Besides, we plan to hold a book club."
"What is that?" Andrea asked curiously.
"There is so much content in natural science, and it is too little for just the three of us." Belinda spread her hands and said, "So we want to select some well-qualified businessmen and civilians and give them an opportunity to get in touch with natural science. If you show If they are outstanding, they can be included in the family, which can be considered as killing two birds with one stone. What do you think?"
Andrea didn't know what to answer.
She suddenly realized that both her father and others were changing.
Witches, which were considered taboo in the past, and the evil kingdom Graycastle, which sheltered witches and lifted the power of nobles from enfeoffment, would never be the targets that the upper echelons of Dawn would be willing to imitate and learn from. It was also against tradition to include ordinary people of ordinary blood into the family. But now, these once clear-cut boundaries have begun to blur.
She couldn't help but look at her father, Howard Quinn.
There is no doubt that there must be his guidance in this.
He is really trying to make amends.
What has happened can never be undone, but subsequent changes can at least prevent it from happening again.
Is this what you want to express, father?
…
In the next few days, Graycastle and Dawn launched operations together.
The nobles set up nearly a hundred response points on the northwest transportation route to provide dry food and tent accommodation for the panicked refugee flow. The First Army Medical Team, under the protection of the Divine Punishment Witch, treated the sick and wounded. In places with the highest concentration of refugees, extremely soft and melodious songs will often sound - even the most arrogant and restless people will quickly calm down under such voices.
The Church of Hermes also launched a parade under the leadership of the new Pope Isabella to appease the homeless people who were forced to evacuate their homes. Even after experiencing various turmoils, the Church still has a certain influence among the people and has a certain influence on them. Generally speaking, apart from the people of Graycastle, the only people who have the ability to fight the devil are the churches that serve the gods.
Thanks to the efforts of many parties, the panic was finally controlled before causing irreversible damage. Although the refugees were unable to return to their original towns for a period of time, those places that had not been affected were finally stabilized. .
The First Army's air raid rehearsal was also ready at this moment.
