Chapter 180 179. Return to Willen
Lan rode Poppy, whom he had not seen for a long time, and walked with Margarita on the country dirt road in Willen.
He is currently carrying only a Lake Lady's Sword on his back. Although the Bear School Steel Sword only has a small gap.
But in high-intensity sword fighting, this small gap will become a fatal flaw. Lann left the sword in Darkwater, and Berengar was responsible for keeping and repairing it.
"If the Lady of the Lake knew that you took off Arrondette's scabbard so easily, wouldn't she be angry?"
Margarita's body trembled with the footsteps of the horse beneath her, teasing Lan En.
When the lady in the lake gave this luxurious long sword, it also came with a wooden scabbard decorated with gold and inlaid with small pearls.
As soon as Lan En and Margarita came out of the small fishing village of Oriden, the scabbard on Lan En's back turned into a simple scabbard wrapped in fish skin and wood.
Although the care in production can be seen from the rigorous corners, the value must have dropped more than ten times compared to the previous one.
"Lady is the embodiment of the five virtues of chivalry, and is not so stingy. And"
Riding on Poppy's back, Lan En's silver hair was flying in the wind of Willen, just like his free and easy mood.
"This is the scabbard given by a friend. It is more valuable than real money."
Lan En came here with only a sword on his back, which made the villagers think he was in trouble. . But they also knew that they couldn't make a good sword here and couldn't help Lan En.
So a group of people pieced together things here and there, anxious to keep their feet from touching the ground. After Lan En’s dissuasion, they just made a scabbard for him, just like before.
The fish skin is Bernie's latest harvest, the sewing is Mrs. Donna's needlework, the fine hardwood is found by old Allen, and the craftsmanship of the scabbard is the village blacksmith who spent three hours working on it.
These things are not worth much in Velen, but they were saved by Lan En's friends in the village of Oriden.
When the villagers gave this scabbard to Lan En, he replaced it with the luxurious scabbard given by the Lady of the Lake without any hesitation.
Tuck the exquisite and noble Arondette into the ordinary scabbard.
It seems that the gold and pearls on the scabbard were just stones on the ground.
Perhaps in his eyes, those things are not as comfortable as people's heartfelt gratitude.
Margarita stayed with him in the dilapidated small fishing village for a long time, smiling as she watched the interaction between a demon hunter who killed Count Stetha and a group of Willen fishermen.
When she said goodbye to the villagers, her eyes looked at Lan En softer.
The two of them were traveling on the dangerous land of Willen. Today is different from the past. In the past, when faced with groups of water ghosts, the demon hunters had to pay attention to defeat them separately. Now they can kill an earl's heavily guarded enemy. manor.
What's more, there is a sorceress who is the dean beside him at this time.
Willen, who goes out and gambles with his life, is no longer dangerous in front of the two of them.
Lan En, who came to Gos Velen again, entered Aretussa smoothly this time under the leadership of Margarita.
"Welcome, Witcher. Welcome back to Arethusa."
Tishaya, the former Dean of Arethusa, is now also the archmage who is the pillar of the academy. She personally greeted Lan En and Margarita after they crossed the long bridge in front of the academy and entered the palace gate.
This archmage, who has lived for at least four to five hundred years, still maintains his symmetrical and regular attire, as well as his delicate but rigid face.
"I'm flattered, my mentor." Margarita walked up to Tisaya with a narrow smile on her face. "I have never been treated like this before when I came back from a trip."
"So what I said was 'Welcome the Witcher', not 'Welcome our current dean who went out without permission'."
Tissaya didn't even look at Margarita beside her. Twist it.
Lan En smiled and saluted the Archmage, and she responded dignifiedly and gracefully. While Tissaya returned the favor, she was still quarreling with her student.
“Thanks to you, the entire north now knows that you have had a conflict with Merigold, so that you can be regarded as a 'neutral unit'. Although they do not have Folty now Steve knows the source of your contradictions very well, but it will happen sooner or later."
Having said this, Tissaya glanced at the silver-haired cat-eyed 'source of conflict' expressionlessly, and there was an undetectable moment of confusion on her face.
Although I have seen Lan En's current appearance in the video, when I see him in real life, if the demon hunter's record in front of me is not watered down, then he is indeed tempting and terrifying.
"Okay, Rita. Don't leave the guests hanging at the door. It's too rude."
With her hands in front of her belly, Tisaya turned around and led the two of them through the gorgeous and lengthy corridor, walking towards the upper level of Arethusa.
In this huge castle, the trio also attracted the attention of students passing by.
Two beautiful deans, and a demon hunter who has been in the limelight recently and is said to be full of lust.
These energetic sorceress apprentices live a monotonous life, and the dirty jokes derived from this situation make Mr. Lan, a simple young man with sensitive hearing, very difficult.
When I arrived at the door of the dean's office, I managed to adjust the expression on my face.
After entering the door and taking a seat, Tissaya naturally sat on the dean's seat, while Margarita lay down lazily on the cashmere couch.
“Please have a seat.”
Tissaya reached out to Lan En to indicate the guest seat opposite the desk.
“I heard your plan from Rita, but I still feel it’s a bit abrupt.”
“To be honest, Aretuza’s investment in you was just for your own benefit. The academy can increase its intimidation, or obtain a high-level warrior who can cooperate for a long time."
"But your performance after your night at Vizima has completely exceeded our expectations. . Not just ordinary, but far beyond."
Margarita lazily raised her hands and expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Tishaya! Do you think I have no deterrent effect? I can hold Merigold and Philippa down and beat them!"
The corner of Lan En's mouth twitched. Why don't you refuse? Let Tris go.
“Yes, our dean is really powerful for being able to beat two long-famous sorceresses. But even if you are twice as powerful, you will not be able to affect the sales of magic gold in the entire continent. Price!”
Tissaya spoke calmly, causing Margarita to choke.
Lan En listened to this topic without knowing why. He has not paid attention to this news since he came back.
Tissaya slightly adjusted her asymmetrical puffy sleeves and gave the witcher a brief introduction.
“Since you completed that big thing half a month ago, Kevir’s orders for magic-blocking gold have skyrocketed every day. Guards from various kingdoms are urgently buying them, and the market has fluctuated violently. A large number of them have caused huge fluctuations in the market. Wild mages were recruited, either directly into the army, or as sparring partners, Lan En."
Tisaya's rational and calm eyes looked at Lan En, as if explaining an undeniable natural theorem.
"What you did to Stassa scared them."

I probably marked the numbers wrong in the previous chapters, but this number seems to be quite difficult to change. There is no other way, let’s use the normal number next time
