Chapter 681: The Skeleton Club

"Mr. Vida, please forgive my presumptuousness. It has been a while since school started. Have you ever regretted the choice you made?" Ryan asked Joan with a serious face.

Do you regret it?

Joan was lost in thought.

It has been half a month since the school started, and Qiao An has only seen her mentor twice.

The most recent time was the morning before yesterday, when I asked Professor Moriarty to ask for leave for an internship.

In contrast, what left a deep impression on him was the embarrassing experience when he visited his mentor for the first time.

Mentor Moriarty's research on the "smallpox virus", his deviant and bizarre theories, and of course the glamorous "Golem of Higher Pleasure" Duo'er, all had a strong spiritual impact on Joanne. Also feel incredible.

Indeed, Professor Moriarty is not at all like the honest and gentle Robert Rawls, and his personality is too extreme, which makes him feel a little difficult to get along with.

However, Joan did not regret his choice.

He did not come to Midgard University to repeat his life at Leiden College, nor to seek another Rawls mentor.

Even if Mentor Rawls is revived, it will not be able to solve his inner confusion. On the contrary, a deviant eccentric like Professor Moriarty is more likely to open a door to a new world for him and spark a spark of thought.

"I don't regret it, at least not yet." After pondering, Joan replied solemnly.

"Well, maybe this is the best choice for you." Angel sighed, and then changed the subject: "Joan, have you heard of the 'Skull Society'?"

Joan shook his head blankly.

"You can ask Audrey about it. She also joined the club recently. If you are interested in joining, Ryan and I are very happy to be your referees."

Angel smiled mysteriously, waved goodbye to Joan, and took Ryan to find Arnold and Lowry.

The Skeleton Society?

Joan frowned.

Why does it sound a bit like a cult group...

However, rationality told Joan that wealthy children like Angel and Ryan were unlikely to openly spread cults on campus, so he went to Audrey with confusion to ask what kind of organization the "Skull Club" was.

"Skeleton Club, the name sounds a bit scary, but it's actually just a student club. As for why the founder gave the club such a scary name? I don't know, maybe it's cooler." Audrey said with a smile. Joan explained.

"The 'Skeleton Club' has very high entry standards. Members must either be born rich or have outstanding academic performance, and very few girls are recruited into the club. This just proves Audrey's excellence. She has successfully entered this elite circle right after she entered school."

Hailar's admiration was vaguely mixed with a sour taste.

Midgard University has many societies created by students voluntarily, such as "debating club", "rowing club" and "billiards club".

Most of these student societies have a clear sporting or academic theme, and students interested in the activity can apply to join.

"Skeleton Club" is the oldest club among all the clubs on campus. The difference from other student clubs is that there is no specific activity theme. color.

Most of the elite figures active in the political and business circles of the New World graduated from Midgard University, and most of them joined the "Skeleton Society" during their schooling. The network of contacts established during their student days has played an immeasurable role in promoting their career development after graduation, which can be described as a veritable "elite club".

For various reasons, the Kingdom of Canaan failed to catch up with the trend of the "Great Discovery Age" and missed the climax of the first wave of colonial expansion. When the Canaanite royal family tried to establish overseas colonies, the territory of the New World had already been carved up by other powerful countries Exhausted.

The Kingdom of Canaan had no colonies in the New World, so it had to take other ways to seek benefits in the New World due to reality. For example, to win over the social elites of the colonies and carry out colonial activities from the economic and cultural levels, this is more concealed than the open-armed land grabbing, and in the long run, the benefits are also greater.

As a member of the Canaan royal family, Audrey traveled across the ocean to the New World, shouldering the mission of "pioneering the wilderness". Joining the "Skull Society", she will have more opportunities to make friends with the rich and powerful children of the New World. Ten years later, these princes and ladies will grow into powerful figures from all walks of life, and they will be able to provide a lot of convenience for the Canaan Kingdom to seek interests in the New World.

Joan can understand the necessity for Audrey to join the "Skull Club", but he himself is quite disapproving of this kind of clique formation, and he can only appreciate the kindness of Angel and Ryan.

Audrey originally wanted to invite Joan to join the "Skull Club", but the other party's uninterested expression had already shown her attitude, which made her feel a little disappointed.

In order to hide her embarrassment, Audrey turned around and asked Hailar: "Are you interested in joining the 'Skull Club'? I will be your referrer."

Hailaer was indeed a little jealous of Audrey's incomparable limelight on campus just now, and the other girls became green leaves to accompany the red flowers in front of her, but when Audrey took the initiative to invite her to join the "Skull Club", her state of mind changed subtly change.

As we all know, the "Skull Club" rarely recruits girls, and rarely recruits new students. The appearance of Audrey broke these two conventions in one fell swoop.

Hyrule can't become the second Audrey, forcing the arrogant "Skull Society" to make an exception for her, but she can also create her own record-becoming the first girl in history who refuses to join the "Skull Society"!

After a short thought, Hailar shook his head and chuckled.

"I'm the daughter of a pirate. Compared to the 'Skull Club', I yearn for the 'Skull Flag' flying at sea."

Audrey nodded, expressing respect for her choice. After hesitating for a while, he asked Hailar in a low voice: "What will happen if I invite Joan to join the Skeleton Society?"

"Don't make fun of yourself." Hailar replied without thinking.

"It seems that you know him better than I do." Audrey sighed softly, looking a little lonely.

At this time, footsteps were heard outside the cafeteria again, and a short and fat man walked in. Wearing a tuxedo, a white shirt, a top hat, and a briefcase, he looks like a fat penguin strutting.

"Hi! Good morning, dear children! Your Uncle Locke is here again!"

The exaggerated expression of the short and fat man caused a burst of laughter, and the students surrounded him one after another.

The chunky man who called himself "Uncle Locke" threw his briefcase on a dining table, first gave Arnold a high five and hugged him, and then shook hands with the other boys who greeted him, joking casually, looking very affectionate.
