Chapter 1374 1346. Small Banquet
"Don't get so close."
Contrary to her usual behavior, Margarita actually stepped back from Lan En.
But before the demon hunter could be surprised at how the dean had improved and finally stopped being so indulgent, he saw Margarita's eyes again.
There was fire in those eyes.
The burning fire of lust.
Emotions and desires are a mixture of a paste between healthy men and women, and they can't be separated.
"You look like you want to eat me." Lan En did not avoid the burning lust in his eyes, but just smiled and teased in a low voice. "But it seems that you have learned to be patient?"
"There was no patience in the original plan."
Margarita raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, and said with a little provocation.
She raised her neck, her slender and tender white neck was like a white swan, and her bright red lips were close to Lan En's ear, exhaling ambiguous heat and whispering.
"I received the news about your magic ring at the same time as Qilin, and I did prepare a banquet, and Tishaya is here too."
"But I was thinking that we could use half an hour, so I could have a 'fast food' to satisfy my craving."
"Half an hour?" In this ambiguous and entangled atmosphere, Lan En whispered in surprise, "You have enough for a 'fast food', but you left me there?"
"What else?"
The charming and enchanting blonde beauty smiled seductively.
But after laughing, she still got closer to the demon hunter with a dazed look, muttering.
"But why are you more attractive this time?"
Lan En smacked his lips and took a step back, pulling away, causing Margarita to snort in dissatisfaction, but at least she came back to her senses.
The curse of the ancient god was forcibly suppressed in his body, and the harm could not come out, but the deep attraction of the high-dimensional life form to mortals permeated his body from the inside out.
Researchers from the Healing Church and Byronvis were so enchanted by the corpses of the ancient gods that had long died that they went crazy and died one after another.
There is no need to elaborate on the strangeness of this attraction.
"Remember to stay away." Lan En looked down at Margarita with a reserved and cold face, and said jokingly, "I'm afraid you can't stand it when we really have physical contact later."
The dean of Aretusa glared at him fiercely, but finally accepted his advice and kept a distance from him.
At least she had to endure it before the meal was finished.
——
Margarita was still a little busy before she arranged a simple banquet.
Because before, although she knew that Lan En had returned at the same time as Qilin because of the magic ring, she just habitually asked the kitchen to prepare food specifications that were only enough for a few people to eat and chat in the kitchen of the academy.
Suddenly, there were two more people, and the small table that was originally planned to be placed in the dean's bedroom could not be placed. They had to temporarily open a living room and have someone clean it up to use as a dining room.
"There seem to be a lot of people here, but they don't go out?"
Maria asked after she put her tricorn hat on the edge of the dining table.
She was just observing quietly while walking in the corridors and stairwells of Aretusa.
As one of the most suitable places for horror movies, the school with no one at night is of course on the list.
This empty and luxurious huge castle seemed to bring back some bad memories for Maria.
Aretusa is an academy for training female sorcerers, but it is still a school.
In order to restrain the playful nature of female sorcerer apprentices during their student days, the management is quite strict.
Otherwise, Margarita would not have been so frightened that she went to Viren to look for a student who was deceived by a wild man and disappeared. In the end, the great wizard was taken down by a sneak attack of a slingshot.
Because Aretusa is a closed residential school system.
Although the sorceress apprentices could not resist their strong desires and went to the city of Gos Velen to have fun from time to time, they had to abide by the school's time regulations.
It was not long after dark, but the sorceress apprentices' activity area had already been limited and they were not allowed to run around.
"Welcome to Aretuza, friends from other places."
After taking their seats, Tissaya raised her wine glass and said a welcome speech in a generous manner.
Margarita had just shown her hostess style in front of Maria and Adeline, but in the blink of an eye, she was completely suppressed in front of Tissaya, who had actually managed the academy for hundreds of years.
She even consciously gave up the main seat without Tissaya saying anything.
Let Lan En laugh at her for a while with a smile but a hint of meaning.
But on the other side, Maria and Adeline were a little embarrassed, but they still raised their glasses according to etiquette and followed Tissaya's welcome speech.
The locals of Yharnam were now being called "foreign friends", which was really a bit uncomfortable for them.
Of course, this somewhat teasing statement was a "little reminder" given to Dishaya by Lan En when he entered the door.
After the welcome speech, Dishaya took a sip of Toussaint East East red wine in the glass, as if to calm down the anger that came from nowhere. She would not be so rude normally.
On the other hand, Maria and Adeline were not very interested in the wine produced by the national treasure winery of [Knights and Wine Country] after just taking a sip.
This made Margarita and Dishaya think that the red wine in the other world that Lan En went to this time was much higher than Toussaint, and their arrangements were a bit unpresentable.
"It's not the wine." Lan En took a bite of a donut stuffed with plum jam and explained to Dishaya and Margarita who were a little unprepared. "It's just that the people of Yharnam like blood more than wine."
"Blood?" Now, even Dishaya was interested.
Without even lowering her head, she rearranged the asymmetrical placement of tableware caused by the toast just now, and said with a little surprise to the two guests.
"Are the people in that world all blood-sucking? You drink animal blood? You can't suck each other's blood, right?"
"No." Maria's cold and calm voice was a little stuck, but she finally let out a long breath and said. "It's just an addictive habit. Adeline and I were invited by Lan En because we want to eradicate possible hidden dangers."
"It seems that we have to rely on the power of magic. We have to trouble you."
Saying this, Maria raised her glass to Margarita and Dishaya.
Born as a blood noble, socializing in the upper class is something that can only be done if you want to, not if you do it.
Although there are differences in etiquette between Yharnam and the magical Middle Ages, this rigorous and cumbersome temperament is always right.
It's like Lan En every time he arrives in a new world, even if he doesn't know the local area at first, others will subconsciously not regard him as an ignorant and uncultured person.
"Don't be shy." Relying on his tall and long arms, Lan En brought a plate of salt-baked anchovies to Adeline across the table, and squeezed the juice of half a lemon on it.
After taking care of the guests he brought, Lan En turned around and told Dishaya and Margarita about his experience in the last world.
"The deep structure of a world, a world that is occupied by a group of superiors who look like that?"
Margarita blinked her eyes as if she was listening to a horror story, and took a sip of red wine.
"And this time, did you kill an ancient god?"
Even after Lan En came back, it was a routine for the sorceresses to share their strange experiences of the other world with him at the dinner table.
But his actions this time still shocked people.
"It was just based on the accumulation in the past, and the advance arrangements after discussing with the Lady of the Lake."
Lan En was not complacent. When talking about the battle with the Moon Goddess, the relaxed and happy look after the trip faded from his face.
It was really not a death battle that could be talked about optimistically.
"I asked the Lady of the Lake to see it, and my eyes have confirmed that the blood in their bodies no longer carries the deep power of those ancient gods."
The demon hunter took a sip of the refreshing white wine and turned the topic to the present.
"But to be on the safe side, I think we still have to replace the blood in their bodies at least three times. That blood has been involved with the power of the two ancient gods."
"Although the power of the ancient gods has gone away, the traces of influence left by those powers will not disappear."
"Replace the blood three times?"
When discussing treatment plans and academic issues, only Tishaya at this table can keep up with Lan's ideas and progress.
Margarita's genius is reflected in the field of spells, which has nothing to do with biology and alchemy.
Tishaya still has a wine glass in her hand, but she has already calculated in her mind, and her eyes are empty.
"How long do you expect to complete it?"
"No hurry." Lan En gave a straightforward answer, and he smiled comfortingly at Maria and Adeline.
The two of them don't understand magic and alchemy, and at this time they can only listen to Lan En with peace of mind because of their trust in Lan En.
"The power of the ancient gods has been eliminated, and they don't have the ability to cross the world. It's good to take it slowly, which is very safe."
"Then there will be no problem." Tishaya made a decisive conclusion, "It just so happens that during the time you were away, the three plants you brought back from the New World have grown several times."
"Their medicinal effects are as we expected before, greatly weakened. But they are still much better than the goods on the market. You may try to use local cultivated varieties for alchemy."
"Really?" Lan En raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Recovery herbs, blue mushrooms and mandrake mushrooms have all grown?"
But he frowned again.
"They are all cultivated according to the standards of introducing foreign plants, right? It will be troublesome if they cause biological invasion."
"They can be kept alive because they have strong vitality." Tishaya first responded to Lan En's first question, and then for some reason, he sighed and responded to the second question.
"As for biological invasion? They have always been supervised and cultivated by me personally, no problem."
"You supervise and cultivate them yourself?" Lan En frowned when he heard this. "Did anything happen while I was away?"
