Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 408 407. Gift

On the first day that Lan returned to Aretussa, 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 headmaster is still obsessed with this young witcher.

The apprentices, who were originally a little excited because they saw Lan appearing in Aretuza again, wisely understood what the dean meant in Margarita's seemingly friendly but dangerous smile.

Then 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 maintained her smile while opening and closing her lips slightly without looking back.

After the joke, her tone became unusually serious.

"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 him even more.

This is mostly the ceremonial smile of the Emperor's Children.

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 respectful expressions, and then left without being humble or condescending.

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 maintained that proud smile, "At least 70% of the apprentices will provide information about the academy's actions to their families and their future job seekers."

"That's absolutely right. Your estimate is very close to the truth."

Margarita whispered that she had long known that her little lover had an extraordinary acumen in politics and social affairs, so she was not too surprised.

"We are just an educational institution, 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 people away. No matter which political group she is a representative of, or We accept all potential members of a spy agency."

"To be precise, even if we don't want to accept it, we can't help it."

Margarita spread her hands.

"Take the red-haired beauty you are familiar with."

"Triss isn't as pretty as you, Rita."

Before the blond sorceress could finish speaking, Lan En interrupted her very alertly and made a categorical comparison.

This crisp reaction made Margarita couldn't help but laugh.

"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.

"This is certainly not a problem. It makes sense for students to contact future job seekers as they approach graduation and demonstrate their knowledge and connections."

"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. It’s 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. And you will disappear for a period of time every few months, and no one can find it in the world. This kind of action pattern is very difficult for an extraordinary swordsman. It’s a bit too challenging for people’s nerves.”

Lan En was laughing so hard that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"So, I am now Aretuza's most valuable information?"

"if not?"

"Okay, then let me pray." As he said this, Lan En really clasped his hands together, looking very pious. "I pray 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 Gos Velen, otherwise you will be too conspicuous every time you come back."

The sorceress's understatement made the witcher gasp.

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 were an ordinary witcher, then this would be a good idea, but unfortunately you are not. I haven't seen any witcher with a laboratory in Arethusa."

Under Margarita's speechless gaze, Lan En smiled shyly.

He's certainly 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 knew that Arethusa was a castle built on a huge reef. The reef had been washed away in the sea for hundreds of millions of years, and had been reinforced by magic and artificial means.

Even with magic, it's not easy to open a way out.

But Margarita had no intention of telling him about these difficulties.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, dear Madam Dean."

Lan En 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, there were two more things in his hand.

"In return, I also want to give you some gifts."
