Chapter 2094 Visitors From the Old World (Ⅰ)

After Mrs. Anderson passed away, Joann did not hire a housekeeper or servants, and all cats and dogs were sent to the Gulf Commercial Bank for foster care, and they lived alone in that old house.

Audrey and Holden have already moved into the mansion they bought in Uptown. The siblings worried that Joan would be lonely living in the old house by himself, so they repeatedly invited him to move uptown, and the three of them lived together as before.

Qiao An always politely declines the invitations of the Zion siblings. 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, so it is more convenient to live here.

Audrey and Holden respected his choice, but every time they talked about this topic, they always felt a little sad.

In fact, Qiao An also has a feeling that the past is like smoke. As he gets older and the external environment changes, the partners who originally lived under the same roof have their own lives and careers, and have to go their separate ways. Getting along day and night like before, getting together less and leaving more has become the norm.

Although this does not damage their friendship, there will always be a moment when Joan realizes that the good times are always fleeting. In the long flow of time, no one can stand still. No matter how close the relationship is, sooner or later There will be a day when people will go their separate ways and even heaven and man will be separated forever.

After Mrs. Anderson died, Joann's life changed a little.

Now there is no one at home to help him clean, wash and cook, so he can only do it by himself.

Fortunately, Joan is a mage, and magic can help him solve family chores. For example, when cleaning is needed, a group of "invisible servants" can be summoned by casting a spell, 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, Joan can also, like other happy bachelors, find a restaurant to fill his stomach in the small alleys near the school where restaurants and shops gather.

If you don't want to eat outside, Joan can also use the 2nd ring "grain making technique" to create a simple meal out of thin air to fill your stomach.

When I get busy, I don't have time to eat, so I simply spend 3 psionic power points to show the psychic power "bigushu" with 2 rings. I don't eat or drink all day without feeling hungry and thirsty, and I can maintain my energy.

Most of the time every day, Joan spends in-depth study of virus and infectious disease theory, trying to develop a smallpox vaccine that is safer and more reliable than "human pox" based on Professor Moriarty's research results, so as to block the The spread of a novel smallpox virus among indigenous peoples of the New World.

Unfortunately, this work was far more difficult than Joan expected. After working for more than a month, the progress could not satisfy him.

Joan had considered seeking guidance from Professor Moriarty, and it would be best to borrow the "Holy Grail of Death" from his mentor in order to cultivate viruses, which would be of great help to his work.

However, since the last time I quarreled with my mentor because of the smallpox virus, and realized that my strange bloodline had been seen through by my mentor, Qiao An felt frustrated, and it was inconvenient to take the initiative to discuss this matter with my mentor, lest the scar be uncovered again. Deepen the gap between teachers and students.

The peaceful days lasted until the beginning of July. This morning, when Joan was browsing documents in the library, she received a "short message" from Audrey, inviting Joan to attend a banquet at her home tonight. The guests of honor were four people from Guests of the old world.

Of course, Her Royal Highness knows that Joan does not like to participate in social activities, and specially emphasized in the letter that these four distinguished guests are of extraordinary status. Two of them are from the Kingdom of Korras in the Far East. What's more, they are from Bethlehem, the capital of Canaan. They are Audrey's elder brother and sister-in-law, Canaan Crown Prince Colofa Zion and Crown Princess Maria.

The two special envoys to the Far East didn't matter. Audrey and Holden's elder brother and sister-in-law came to visit. Joan, as a friend of the Zion siblings, of course had to meet him, so he wrote back to Audrey, saying that he would definitely attend the dinner on time in the evening. He also asked her if she wanted to bring a gift.

"No need to spend money, just remember to bring a bouquet of flowers."

Through the "advanced spiritual connection" created by the "communication stone", the laughter of Her Royal Highness came.

"What flower?" Joan asked Audrey.

"Fresh seasonal flowers can be used to decorate the table."

"OK."

Joan ended the call, and went to the flower shop near the school to browse around. When she came out, she was holding a large bunch of various flowers recommended by the shop owner. They were colorful and full of fragrance. Passers-by looked sideways.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Joan stuffed the bouquet into the storage bag. He stopped a cab with a wave and told the driver to go uptown.

Sitting in the car, Qiao An suddenly slapped his forehead and realized that he had just done something stupid!

Why spend money on flowers?

If you want any flower, you can cast the "Weak Creation Technique" by yourself, and just transform it directly.

However, after buying everything, Qiao An could only comfort himself, since the few silver coins were not bad anyway, and the flowers conjured up by the magic were fake after all, so it would be embarrassing if a customer saw through it.

Arriving at the villa area where Audrey's house was located, Joan just got out of the carriage holding a bouquet when she heard familiar birdsong from the side of the road.

"Brother Mage!"

"Brother Mage!"

Joan followed the prestige and saw that Hailaer was wearing a green dress and a gauze hat, and he had just got off the carriage.

A parrot stood on the girl's shoulders, with a bunch of golden hairs raised on the top of her head, which contrasted with the pair of ponytails hanging down by the hostess' ears.

"Hylar, Dolly, good evening."

Joan held the bouquet in one hand and freed her right hand to say hello.

Hailaer, who has turned 18 years old, is now a slim beauty, especially when she put on a dress for the banquet, with a bit of ladylike temperament, she smiled and waved to Joan, walked slowly, and stepped across the table naturally. into his arms.

"What a beautiful flower, is it for me?"

"Emmmm... I'll give you one, and the rest will be used to set the table." Joan said reluctantly.

Hailaer gave him a charming look, and took out a delicate red rose from the bouquet, and put it on the belt of the hat, not to mention, it was quite beautiful.

Dolly the parrot jumped onto Joan's shoulder, staring at the bouquet with a pair of shining little eyes, eager to try.

Joan thought she also wanted a flower, but the next moment Dolly plunged her head into the depths of the bouquet, and when she pulled out her head again, there was a bee in her mouth, and she proudly showed it to him, and then she was like Swallow the poor little bee like Pacman.

Seeing this scene, Qiao An couldn't help feeling a phantom limb pain...

"Dolly! Bees are beneficial insects!"

At the gate of the courtyard, Mr. Poet, who was dressed like a dog in formal attire, saw the parrot eating bees, and deliberately criticized her for killing beneficial insects with a straight face.
