Chapter 408 407. Gift
On the first day Lan En returned to Arethusa, he was led by Margarita and wandered around the academy for a long time.
The apprentices in the academy still look like sorceresses.
They don’t wear hats, don’t tie their hair, and wear revealing and sexy clothes to show their resistance to social stereotypes.
Margarita appeared with Lan En on her arm, attracting the attention of many people.
After all, the witcher disappeared for four months, and they thought they had broken up.
But now it seems that their dean is still obsessed with this young demon hunter.
The apprentices who were originally a little excited because they saw Lan appearing in Aretusa again, wisely understood the dean's meaning in Margarita's seemingly friendly but dangerous smile. .
So their excited and heated bodies cooled down, and they stood respectfully on the edge of the corridor and saluted the dean.
Lan En couldn't help but click his tongue in this situation.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't know you were so majestic."
"If you want to experience my 'majesty', we can have fun tonight."
Margarita While maintaining a smile, he opened and closed his lips slightly without looking back.
After the joke, her tone became unusually serious.
"The news of your reappearance is a big deal, Lan."
"Aretuza is a training institution and an academic institution. It is the most authoritative magic academy on this continent. You should be able to imagine how many spies or people who inquire for the family among my students?"
Lan En also maintained a ceremonial smile that was too perfect to be faulty next to Margarita.
This smile is reserved and gentle, with a kind of distant arrogance, and it is this 'alienation' that makes people flock to her even more.
Most of the Emperor's Children's ceremonial smiles look like this.
With this kind of smile, if they want to withdraw from a social situation, they will not appear abrupt or rude.
And if they want to get more involved in a social situation, this smile will be flattering and more effective.
Lan En looked at the sorceress apprentices in twos and threes in the corridor.
They came in style, saluted with expressions of respect, and then left without being humble or arrogant.
On the surface, they appear to be paragons of sorceresses, putting wild mages in the quagmire.
But what about behind the scenes?
"I guess." Lan En kept his proud smile, "At least 70% of the apprentices will provide the academy's actions to their families and their future job seekers."
"Absolutely correct. The number you estimated is very close to the truth."
Margarita whispered, she had long known that her little lover had an extraordinary acumen in politics and social affairs, so she also Not too surprised.
“We are just an educational institution and a research institution. As long as you want to get the secrets of magic and go further on the road of magic, we will not turn away people. No matter who she is We accept all representatives of political groups and preliminary members of a spy agency."
"To be precise, we can't help it even if we don't want to accept it."
Margarita spread her hands.
“Take the red-haired beauty you are familiar with.”
“Triss is not as beautiful as you, Rita.”
Waiting for the blonde After the sorceress finished speaking, Lan En interrupted her very alertly and made a categorical comparison.
This crisp reaction made Margarita couldn't help laughing. "Don't make trouble! Back to the topic, Triss is a patriot, which has been known since her school days. She was born in Maribo, and she calls Temeria her home. She has been with Temeria since she was a student. She had many contacts with officials, which paved the way for her to become Foltest's palace adviser after graduation. ”
“Is this kind of behavior a problem for a student of Arethusa?”
Margarita asked Lan En.
The witcher didn't even hesitate at all.
“Of course this is not a problem. It is reasonable for students to contact future job seekers as they approach graduation and demonstrate their knowledge and network resources.”
"So," Margarita said lightly, "students don't even have to be secretive to collect intelligence in Aretusa. And in the past, there was no big news worth inquiring about in Aretusa. We are a team. A top magic academy, but it’s just an academy.”
“But now.” Margarita turned her head and glanced at Lan En.
“Your relationship with Aretuza has caused many people to speculate and fear. Moreover, you disappear for a period of time every few months and no one can be found in the world. This pattern of action is very important to a skilled person. For an extraordinary swordsman, it’s a bit too challenging for one’s nerves.”
Lan En was laughing a bit now.
“So, I am now the most valuable information in Aretuosa?”
"Otherwise?"
"Okay, let me pray." As he said that, Lan En really clasped his hands together, looking very pious. "I pray that Ms. Margarita's next words are not to kick me out."
"Of course not!" The blonde beauty slapped the young man next to her angrily.
"I'm wondering if I should buy you a manor next to Goss Velen, otherwise you would be too conspicuous every time you come back."
The sorceress's understatement made the hunter The demon clicked his tongue.
Although he is considered a rich man now, he can buy a manor as soon as he wants. Is the difference in consumption habits so big?
"If you are an ordinary witcher, then this is a good idea, but unfortunately you are not. I have not seen any witcher with a laboratory in Aretuosa."
Under Margarita's speechless gaze, Lan En smiled shyly.
He is indeed not a typical witcher.
Because the academic level is high enough, Aretuza's equipment is probably the only way in the world that can turn his theories into physical objects.
"So there is no other way. I can only see if I can open a trail under the big rock in Aretusa so that you can be quieter when you come back in the future. As long as no one sees you when you enter the academy, it will be fine. In fact, it has nothing to do with ordinary apprentices."
Margarita waved her hand and said indifferently.
But Lan En knows that Arethusa is a castle built on a huge reef. The reef has been washed away in the sea for hundreds of millions of years, and has been reinforced by magic and artificial means.
Even if you use magic, it is not easy to open a way out.
But Margarita had no intention of telling him about these difficulties.
"Then I'll trouble you, dear Madam Dean."
Lan and Margarita have now walked to a terrace outside the castle facing the sea.
The witcher turned around and closed the door and windows behind him.
When he turned around again, he already had two more things in his hand.
"In return, I also want to give you some gifts."
