After carrying the [Turbidity Current] on his back, Lan En's steps became heavier.

Even though the breathing technique of the Light Body Technique was constantly running, the sound of his footsteps, the heat he emitted to carry the sword, was still reminiscent of a brown bear walking with its massive body in the palm of its flesh.

- The weight of the body is a deterrent.

When faced with a creature that is far heavier than oneself, when such a creature is approaching, instinct is enough to make people panic.

As Lan carried the great sword on his back, the linen-cloth-wrapped hilt protruded from his right shoulder, while the cold tip of the sword swayed over the calf of his left leg.

The mere look at this sword makes it impossible to imagine how it wields it.

After all, as Belengal said, it has not been a long time since such an impractical weapon appeared in the knight's book.

The young man was in a good mood when he was given a weapon that was more satisfying than he had expected.

He didn't try it first, after all, such a big guy is difficult to show in the academy.

Lan En walked towards the dean's office first.

The female warlock apprentices along the way had already adapted to the appearance of a witcher in the academy where there were no men, but every time they met Lan En in the not-so-narrow corridor.

The apprentices would still pretend to be crowded and rub past him.

Margarita's stern orders didn't seem to help, as she had always been known for her affable and relaxed style.

The apprentices were not as afraid of her as they were of the former dean.

When Rann knocked on the thick oak door of the dean's office and walked in, Margarita's first words made him hold back.

"Even if I don't have a witcher's nose, I can smell at least six perfumes on you now, tsk"

The blonde sorceress leaned very easily against the back of the cashmere bench, one hand resting on the top edge of the backrest, and her two delicate long legs were cocked into two legs.

In this kind of intense action, her unconservative dress still reveals a lot of 'content', even though she works hard.

At this time, Margarita was firing at Lan En who had just entered the door with a teasing tone and gaze.

"So why doesn't a certain dean review what he has no prestige for? I've never seen a farmer's fruit grow and protect himself. ”

Well, the young man's counterattack made the teasing smile freeze straight to the ground.

Lane, who had the upper hand, didn't look at Margarita for a moment, walked past her to the desk, untied the great sword behind his back and leaned against the wall, and sat down in the guest seat.

Like the young man who had just entered the door, Tishaya did not look at Margarita again, which made the current head of the house even more devastated.

"A very powerful sword."

Tishaya made a polite compliment while straightening out the documents that had just been approved.

"Belengal's craftsmanship has nothing to say, he is limited by his identity as a witcher, and he can't go to the blacksmith's guild to take the exam, otherwise the master level is not difficult for him."

In the same polite response, Lan En pulled out his alchemy leather bag from his waist.

"I'm here mainly for space equipment. Margarita mentioned it to you before, right? I always felt unprepared when I passed through the celestial sphere, and now that I have a stake in Valyrian Steel, I have a little confidence to buy myself high-end goods. ”

"I said, mine can be used for you, but you don't need it yourself!"

Margarita grumbled, but neither of them listened. This made the current dean grit his teeth and look at Lan En's back even more.

She didn't dare to look at her teacher like that.

Tishaya was still sorting through the pile of documents that looked neat, and before she even tilted her head, the alchemy leather bag was already suspended in the air, and then flew in front of her eyes.

"Well, some kind of shredded skin sewn from a large monster. You're well maintained. ”

The former dean took a slight look at the alchemy leather bag, as if assessing whether the substrate could withstand the magic of spatial expansion.

"It's the shredded skin of a petrified lizard, and the remnants of it after it were sold to merchants were sewn together. Does it work? ”

Lan En asked dryly.

He wasn't even a warlock, let alone spatial expansion magic, a high-tech technique in warlock circles.

"Yes, petrified lizard leather has good magic channeling, enough to be used as a base material for magic. Rita's handbag was made of the leather of a silver petrified lizard. She made a special trip to Towcente for this purpose. ”

Speaking of which, it seems to involve her favorite field of fashion, Margarita said cheerfully.

"I've been using that bag for almost twenty years, and recently I'd like to swap it with Yennefer, she has a handbag made of banshee hair, and she looks in good taste."

Tishaya nodded indifferently.

Len had heard of the sorceress in Aden.

Yennefer, Margarita, and Tishaya, all three of them were sorceresses who didn't want to get involved in the complicated political situation, so they had become good friends while Tishaya was still teaching the other two.

And Mr. Lan, who just felt that he had become a rich man, licked his lips and didn't speak at this time.

"The enchantment for spatial expansion takes two days, and you still have quite a few appointments ahead, but I'll put yours at the front. I'll just get it here in two days. ”

"I'm fine, thank you, Tishaya."

Lan En took out the cone-shaped crystal from the alchemy pouch and put it on his body, leaving the pouch behind, except for this, there was nothing important in it.

The former dean waved his hand, signaling that this was not a big deal.

"Thirty thousand Oren will be deducted from your future share income, no problem, right?"

"Of course, I'm supposed to pay for the new equipment."

Tishaya nodded approvingly: "It should be so, even the closest partners must settle the accounts clearly, otherwise it will be close to turn the other cheek." ”

Rann paused as he slipped the conical crystal into his pocket, and he could hear Tishaya say something extraneous.

"Well, you want me to have my own finance team?"

It didn't take much effort for Lan to understand Tishaya's underlying meaning.

"It's time to take care of your finances, after all, you already have a big deal in your hands. You can't expect those who run businesses to consciously defend your interests, can you? ”

"It's okay to say that at least Rita and I won't be interested in your shares, but what about the people under us who do specific business operations? They take your stuff and destroy the trust between us, even if we never thought of doing it. ”

It wasn't difficult for Lan to understand these things, and he frowned and nodded.

"So the best thing to do is not to give each other a chance to reach out. It's a look of care for the collaborators. ”

"But you know my situation, I haven't had much time to find a trustworthy manager lately, and the time is almost up. And you know how thin my connections are. ”

Tishaya's expression was still flat: "There is no urgency, after all, this business has just started, and you still have a lot of time to prepare, but you have to take this matter to heart." ”

"Well, I'll keep an eye out when I get back."
