Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1375 1347. Grand Banquet Meeting
If it were someone else, after hearing what Tishaya said, they might not have any thoughts.

But Lan En immediately realized something was wrong.

This is mainly because he is keen and delicate, and he participated in the whole process of introducing alien species from the New World into the magical Middle Ages.

The last time Lan went to the New World with Tishaya and Berengar, he had already started to move forward with the plan of transplanting those magical herbs rich in vitality in the New World.

Both he and Tishaya saw great promise and potential in these New World herbs.

Finally, when they were about to leave, they finally agreed with the director of the Vegetation Research Institute and the director of the Ecological Research Institute of the New World Survey Team that they could transplant only three types of plants first.

The reason why this plan is difficult to implement is not because the New World Survey Team is so greedy that they are unwilling to let others have good medicinal materials.

No matter how you think about it, that group of people don't have such gloomy thoughts.

They are simply worried, out of a sense of responsibility for the natural environment, that the transplantation of these vigorous species from the New World will lead to species invasion.

So after Tishaya and Lan En studied in detail the "Operational Regulations for Preventing Invasive Alien Species" formulated by the scholars of the investigation team, the plan was able to proceed smoothly.

All that was left was to bring the seeds back and arrange for apprentices to carry out limited and cautious cultivation in strict accordance with the operating regulations.

But Tishaya now said that this process was actually "always supervised by her personally". How could she have so much time to stay in Aretuza?
Tissaya is the only surviving sorceress of the oldest generation of human sorcerers, and also the most powerful among human sorceresses.

She served as the dean of Aretuza Academy for hundreds of years, and basically over the long course of her life, her interpersonal relationships were tied to the academy.

With no family and no home, Aretuza has been her home for hundreds of years.

Even though Tishaya has stepped down as the dean of this college for several years, as soon as Tishaya came, all the treatment and rights of the dean would be arranged for her without her having to say anything.

Not only did Tissaya regard Aretusa as her home for her long life, but the academy also subconsciously regarded her as the head of the family.

But having a close relationship is one thing, and whether it can last for a long time is another.

After Tishaya stepped down and handed over the position of dean to Margarita, she immediately and seamlessly became a member of the Association of Talent and Skills.

This association is one of the two management organizations in the wizarding community, and the wizards who need it to manage are spread throughout the northern countries.

It is normal to be busy running back and forth between several countries.

Even the vacation time is not very long.

"Because my recent work is near Aretusa." Tishaya said while calmly cutting the roasted tomatoes and potatoes on the plate. "To be precise, I am coordinating the accommodation issues in Aretusa."

"Accommodation problem?" Lan En asked puzzledly.

Margarita rested her elbows lazily on the armrests of the chair, holding a glass of wine in her hand: "An important meeting will be held in Aretusa. There will be many participants. Aretusa cannot ignore the accommodation."

"Are you going to invite all the famous sorcerers in the North?" Lan En exclaimed, "Then there should be enough rooms in the Loshar Palace."

"This meeting is different from the previous ones. You don't really know much about warlock meetings, do you? Not to mention this one."

Margarita explained to Lan En while being slightly tipsy, and teased him halfway through her explanation.

"Anyway, the warlocks are going to have a meeting, and there will be a banquet before the meeting. If there is a banquet, you have to bring male and female companions, which will double the number of people."

Tishaya added as she methodically cut the food on her plate, making sure the pieces were neatly symmetrical.

"Before the banquet, in order to ensure that the participants can always maintain respectability, we have to invite a group of barbers, a group of tailors, a group of waiters, and in order to provide them with work space, we have to clear out a group of rooms."

Tishaya listed a lot of things with ease, all of which were what Aretusa needed to do to hold a large banquet.

These things may not sound big, but they are actually very trivial, and it would be ugly if they are not done well.

It is a laborious and laborious process.

If you don't have experience, it can be confusing to deal with all this stuff.

Even though Tishaya has experience, she looks very tired now.

"How many rooms do we need to vacate?"

Lan asked curiously, tilting his head.

He was familiar with hosting large banquets, but that was a banquet hosted by the Emperor's Children in [Memory Dive].

Art-filled rooms have been decorated on the sturdy starships, where many of the Emperor's Children will display their art, and even hold magnificent sword fights if the mood strikes.

Many poets will sing their poems in praise of the Emperor and the human expedition, and those painters and military recorders will record that glorious moment with unparalleled honor.

If Lan En were asked to host such a banquet, he could even do it well.

But there is no doubt that Lan En does not know how to organize a large banquet in a magical medieval setting.

Many conditions, etiquette and rules are different. This is why a high-quality palace steward and noble butler is so important in the palace and the nobility.

Because they can always make the nobles and the king look good so that no one can find fault with them.

In an aristocratic society, this is even an important part of maintaining social stability.

It is a rigid demand, not whining or affectation.

"The entire Luoxia Palace, which is responsible for reception, must be vacated, and a small portion of the student dormitories must also be vacated."

Tishaya responded to Lan En's questions in a clear and logical manner.

"But I thought about it again." Margarita, whose face was already flushed because of Dong Zhidong, said lazily as soon as Tishaya finished speaking. "We can't go to class anyway, and we will be blamed if we let half of the students go out alone, so it's better to give everyone a holiday. Haha!"

Tishaya glanced at her outstanding student with a cold face: "You are just venting now what I didn't allow you to do before."

"Anyway, I'm the dean now, I'll sign!" Margarita was not panicked at all. Instead, she waved her wine glass towards Tishaya, "Who asked you to let me graduate smoothly back then? It was you who chose it, teacher!"

And amid Margarita's relaxed and lazy laughter, Maria spoke softly with a calm and indifferent manner.

"It sounds like this academy will be very busy in the near future." She looked at Lan En with an inquiring look, "If our business is not urgent, we can postpone it."

Adeline beside her also nodded quickly. When the Blood Saint was studying in the hall, she only wanted to help and did not want to cause trouble to others.

"No need." Lan En leaned back against the cashmere chair and waved his hand. "I will take care of your affairs. It's not that difficult. Besides, I can't interfere with the banquet, so it won't be my responsibility."

At the end of his speech, the witcher looked at the two sorceresses at the table with a teasing look.

"By the way, the banquet just before the event was such a grand occasion. What kind of meeting are the wizards having? What are they discussing?"

As soon as he said this, Lan En almost instantly felt the atmosphere take a turn for the worse.

He was originally happy and relaxed because his trip was over, but in an instant he seemed to be pushed to the bottom by a heavy pressure.

Tishaya's knife and fork, which was originally used to cut the food on the plate neatly, stopped in mid-air, and Margarita's eyes, which were originally looking at him through the glass of wine, also faded a little.

Even the two Yanan ladies, who were just meeting Tishaya and Margarita for the first time and didn't know them well, could sense the change in atmosphere and put down their knives and forks in confusion.

"Most of the famous wizards in the North are not directly participating in the meeting. They are here just to facilitate the communication of the meeting results to them in person to ensure that there are no omissions or errors."

Although the hands holding the fork and knife paused in mid-air, Tishaya's face remained calm.

Although Margarita's drunken smile had faded a bit, her expression wasn't too serious. She added as she swirled her wine glass.

"The people who actually attended the meeting were all the members of the Association of Talents and Skills, and all the members of the Supreme Council of Wizards."

"The two highest organizations responsible for managing the warlock community are now going to hold a conference together?"

Lan's political acumen was suddenly aroused at this time.

"What's happening here?"

He frowned and looked at Tishaya, who had a calm expression.

"Things are going on and rumors are spreading." The powerful sorceress was in no mood to eat the neatly cut food on the plate. She said as she wiped her hands with a napkin.

"The mood in the market right now is not right. You know what I mean, Lan?"

"It's that feeling where everyone feels something is wrong, but no one can put their finger on it."

The witcher's cat eyes looked at Tishaya who was sitting in the main seat. Those eyes, which had seen the wind and frost and the passage of time, were actually a little shaken at this moment.

So he responded softly and gently.

"Yes, I understand."

As if she got psychological support from this voice, Tishaya subconsciously revealed a faint smile, and then quickly restrained it.

"There is no doubt that the tension level has now reached a new peak."

"And in view of the warlocks' contributions and powerful strength in the last key battle, the Battle of Sodden Mountain, as well as their positions, it goes without saying that we have lost the qualifications to stay out of it."

Tishaya pressed her temples with a headache. If it was just planning a banquet, she wouldn't be so miserable.

What made her uncomfortable was the current situation of the warlock community.

Lan En knew this very well.
