Mage Joan

"Mr. Principal, you are too polite, I don't deserve your praise." Qiao An scratched his head embarrassedly.

The tall Mr. Jefferson warmly embraced the young mage and said with a smile: "Good boy, I had expected your future to be bright, but I didn't expect that in just a few years, you would become Midgard University. And even the most watched scholar in the entire New World."

"Just because you are under the age of eighteen to become the winner of both the'Rising Star Award' and the'Eberton Award', you are worthy of any praise!"

"Oh, to be honest, I am even a little jealous of the president of Midgard University! If you were willing to stay at Leiden College, you might be able to achieve what it is today, and our school will also benefit from it. When people mention you, they only think of Midgard University, but they don’t know that your alma mater is Leiden College."

Qiao An followed Mr. Principal into the office, and heard him jokingly complaining that he shouldn't let him transfer at the beginning, and felt a little ashamed while he was funny.

He studied at Leiden College for only a short year, and he had a lot of criticism about the excessively expensive tuition of the Austrian law major at Leiden College, and the feudal guild-like relationship between tutors and students. Can't erase his feelings for his alma mater.

Qiao Ann published a lot of papers and won many awards during his stay at Midgard University. To say that he "wins glory for the school" is justified and worthy of the training of Midgard University.

In contrast, he did not bring any honor to his alma mater, but caused a lot of trouble.

To be more honest, if Leiden College did not have him, Joan Vader, brothers Idar and Jack would not break into the campus and attack Leiden College’s Austrian law major. Two professors Rawls and Walter Lee.

Of course, the reality is more complicated than this, but Qiao An feels that at least he has to bear part of the responsibility for this. In this regard, he is ashamed of his alma mater.

It was under this mentality that when President Jefferson offered to invite him to stay in his alma mater for a period of time in the name of a "visiting scholar", without teaching tasks, he could do any topics of interest, Qiao An did not refuse.

In addition to the situation at the school, Qiao An also asked the principal about the current situation of his classmates and friends.

Edward Gates, the general's son, and Thomas Chap, the young master of the big plantation owner, both received a master's degree in Austrian law last fall.

After graduating, Edward joined the army and became a staff officer and army mage under his father's General Charles Gates.

Thomas returned to his plantation after graduation and reluctantly inherited 80,000 acres of farmland, becoming the youngest and richest large farmer in Leiden today, and the most popular diamond bachelor in the social field.

The life trajectory of Edward and Thomas looked calm and did not exceed Qiao'an's expectations.

Instead, it was Rebecca Castis, the "gifted girl" who had the same fame as him at Leiden College. After graduating from the seminary, he did not enter the church as he expected.

According to the principal, Rebecca returned to the White House Manor after receiving a master's degree two years ago, and became a doctor who operates at home, occasionally visiting doctors to treat the poor and even black slaves suffering from intractable diseases for free. Even Mr. Jefferson sincerely praised this beautiful, kind, compassionate and righteous girl, who "can be a model for women in the New World."

In addition to the title of beauty, kindness, and "genius of magical skills", the 17-year-old Miss Rebecca also has aristocratic blood and a large fortune. It is undoubtedly the "dream lover" shared by many unmarried young people in Leiden. There are many suitors.

What’s strange is that Rebecca has rarely participated in social dances over the years, and has neither been engaged to anyone nor communicated with anyone, so that it is generally believed that this pious Miss Castis will one day enter the church and take over. Her teacher, the dean of the seminary and convent, Mother Claire, was an old maiden for a lifetime.

Qiao An silently listened to the rumors about Rebecca from the principal, and felt mixed, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

After chatting for half an hour, there was a knock on the door outside the office, and Sally came in to report that all the guests invited by Mr. Jefferson had arrived.

"Joan, there has not been a miracle event of the resurrection of the dead in the history of Leiden. In order to avoid trouble, I specially invited a few witnesses, so let's go out and say hello to them."

"Okay, Mr. Principal, it's still your consideration."

Qiao An followed Mr. Jefferson back to the waiting room and found that there were already five visitors waiting, four men and one woman. Only the old woman in nun's robes recognized him as Rebecca's mentor and Pastor Claire of Timothy. ma.

Regardless of the kindness of this mother, she has a very hot temper.

Qiao An still remembers that on the first day of enrollment, the guy Thomas was arrogant and tried to strike up a conversation with Rebecca, only to scare the little girl out of control with the "sacred seal of different hair", wrapped around his neck, and almost strangled him alive.

Qiao An was also an iron man at the time, eager to rescue her friends from the trap, so she picked up the bricks and shot Rebecca on the head. The poor girl had her head broken by him, her white hair did not converge, and instead attacked him.

Thanks to Mother Claire’s arrival in time, she cast a spell to suppress Rebecca’s "Sacred Seal of Different Hair", and later became furious. If it hadn’t been for Master Rawls to stop him, Joan and Thomas would be hanged and beaten by her...

After seeing each other after many years, Joanne was still a little bit afraid of Madam Claire.

Mother Claire was very enthusiastic towards him. She smiled and inquired about his situation over the years. She also enthusiastically said that she would tell Rebecca the news of his return to her alma mater to make her most beloved student happy.

In addition to Mother Claire, among the guests invited by Principal Jefferson was a bald old man in a yellow sacrificial robe, who was the Pastor of the parish. In addition, the lawyer and notary, the judge and two police officers all participated in the investigation of the "Rawls Murder".

Mr. Jefferson found a carriage and carried everyone to the cemetery outside the city.

When chatting on the road, Qiao An naturally became the focal point, answering various questions about the resurrection of the dead.

Madam Claire was particularly interested in this topic, and said to Joan with regret:

"In ancient times, the'resurrection of the dead' was not uncommon! Priests of any denomination can resurrect the dead body through a 5-level magical technique to preserve the complete accidental dead. It is said that druids also have similar spells, and the level is only Level 4, but the resurrected deceased may not be able to integrate into their own bodies, and are more likely to become humanoids of other races."
