"Don't need a hostess?"

"No, I don't."

"You don't need an apprentice from the academy either?"

"No, I don't."

"Banquets, wine?"

"Just let me rest quietly, Tishaya? I need this right now. ”

"Okay." Tishaya nodded in surprise, "You're really beyond my experience. ”

Lan En got up and walked outside the dean's office. But when he opened the door, he paused.

"Tishaya, there's a suggestion."

"What?"

"Can you remove this when you meet me alone?"

Lan En's fingers tapped his face with an embarrassed expression.

"It makes me a little, uh, weird."

"Okay, I see."

Tishaya nodded solemnly against Margarita's face.

That's why Lan felt weird.

He always felt that Margarita looked weird with this expression.

——

Lan didn't get a long rest in Eretusa, in fact he spent a day replenishing the potions, bombs, and herbs in his alchemy leather bag before leaving.

Having spent a long time in a fierce and long war, he told Tishaya that he just had to rest.

But in reality, it seems that he has lost the ability to rest quietly. When I have nothing to do, I will be inexplicably irritable and anxious.

The slightest sound made him tense his muscles in alarm.

So, although the Lady of the Lake did not directly urge through the conical crystal, Lan En still advanced towards Vigema.

He knew it wasn't normal, but he couldn't calm himself down.

Maybe a little more low-intensity work can improve it, right?

Lan En thought to himself.

The memories of the Emperor's sons of the battlefield gave him experience, but he still had to experience the feeling and adaptation of the first time he stepped on the battlefield.

It was only a week after Ran's departure that Margarita finally returned to Eretusa.

Officers at all levels in Aretusa expressed their admiration and congratulations to Ms. Tishaya for her outstanding performance in the war.

But because they knew Tishaya's character, they didn't bother to hold any welcome banquets.

If it had been normal, Margarita would have been unhappy with the lack of fun, but now she was anxious and tired.

As soon as Margarita, who had a face on Tishaya's face, stepped into the door of the dean's office, turned around and closed it, she breathed a sigh of relief, and the illusion on her face faded, and she changed back to her original face and hair color.

Sitting behind her desk, Tishaya also freed herself from her student's appearance.

"What about Lane? Where is he now? ”

Before she could sit down, Margarita hurried to ask her teacher.

"He's gone," Tishaya calmly sorted out the papers on her desk. "Gone a week ago."

Margarita's eyes widened.

"It's not. You didn't tell him to wait for me to come back? No. At least he's relaxed, right? Did the things I arranged for him before I leave make him feel better? ”

"I've told him all the hot springs and prostitutes you've arranged, but," Tishaya shook her head. "Actually, he didn't go at all, it only took a day to prepare supplies, and then he left."

"He's just come down from the battlefield!" Rarely, Margarita lost her temper at Tishaya and yelled.

"Why didn't you stop him? He must be nervous right now! Need comfort and companionship. ”

"I'm stopping him?" Tishaya was not led astray by Margarita's anger, and remained restrained and rational.

"You mean to say that you want me to put a nervous tension and the possibility of counterattacking in a conditioned situation. And with the combat power of one person to completely annihilate the entire Nilfgaard mixed division, forcibly stay in the academy?! ”

"Do you want the entire academy to be demolished the next day?"

"I want to help him and comfort his spirit and body, but that's a matter of method, Rita!"

Speaking of which, even Etishaya's long life experience and experience still can't help but rub her temples.

"This war record has already spread among mages, and it will take a few months for ordinary people to make waves, but"

"Not to mention other mages, even I can't believe that there are people in this world who can do this!"

"If it weren't for the joint signatures of Foltest and Wizmere, I don't think anyone would have dared to believe that what was described in the war records was like a myth that really happened not long ago."

Soon after the war record circulated in the mage's communications, Eretusa's bank accounts received massive flows of money under various guises. Charity, scholarship sponsorship, who knows how those people came up with the idea of doing charity for the sorceress? ”

"At the same time, many of the college's research projects were heavily funded, especially the crystal cultivation project that I led."

"Those who didn't even know that this project existed, after knowing that I was leading the project, threw money into it without even saying hello. And the warlocks I originally wanted to absorb are now even more squeezed to come in. ”

"I didn't even have time to tell them the direction of the project, but they all said: as long as it's the project I'm leading, it doesn't matter the rest, I've never seen this kind of scene!"

Margarita's face suddenly became a little strange after her teacher mentioned this incident, and she subconsciously turned her head.

"Violence in its purest form. I thought that humanity had moved out of the era when violence dominated everything, and moved towards reason, logic, or at least approaching. But now it seems that I have been deceived by my long life and experience, and that human beings still follow violence. ”

Tishaya smiled bitterly.

"I know you don't see Lann as a danger, no matter how powerful he is. I'm just like you. ”

"But what I would say is that we care about him, but at the same time we have to pay attention to the methods. Just like this time, can you imagine if I had forcibly left him in the academy at that time, with feelings and relationships, would his spirit be difficult now? ”

Margarita bowed her head and was silent.

Tishaya got up from the chair behind her desk and walked over to her.

"Both of you have a long life ahead of you, and this war is an important time in your life, but that's about it. Be relaxed, learn to wait, Rita. ”

"Let's go, come with me to visit Triss and Yennefer, they're both recovering well, maybe the four of us can have a little drink party in the evening."

"But first, you've got to take care of yourself, Rita. Especially in front of Triss. What do you mean by that? 'Losers don't lose'. ”

"Huh?!" Margarita suddenly became alert. "What do you mean? What did I lose to Nabi Chi?! ”

"No, don't be so nervous, it's just a common saying." Tishaya waved her hand easily, but that didn't discourage Margarita in the slightest.

"I'm just saying that Triss shouldn't have been as good as she was last time in Virgina, and she's too determined to do it now."

"Huh." Margarita sneered and straightened her long blond hair. "Looks like Meligard has a lot of skills. Let me remind her who was the chief of that year! ”
