Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1427 1399. Opening Telepathy
At a large banquet like this, the guests will line up before the door opens and enter one by one.

This is to meet the needs of roll call.

For people who come to this kind of banquet, it is more important to expand relationships than to eat, and letting everyone know that their name is a very important matter.

In other words, roll call is actually much more important than eating.

And socializing at the banquet is of paramount importance.

So, although Lann did not get involved in Aretuza's preparations in the previous period, the young demon hunter was not surprised when he saw the banquet venue and decorations.

"The respected Dean of Aretuza, Lady Margarita Laux Andrea, and the Royal Advisor of Temeria, Lady Triss Merigold, and the Duke of Cintra, Lan of Cintra, are here!"

Because there was no prior request, the roll call of the three people including Lan En was even shorter and faster than the previous two people.

According to the guests' request, you can also add the country, place name, position, title, etc. before the name when calling out the names.

Generally speaking, by default, only the most important and well-known item will be sung, followed by the name. But if there is a request, it is normal to sing all of them.

The people before the three of them looked like they could write a sonnet just by using the suffixes.

But the key is that the person who is stuck at the back cannot show impatience, which is extremely rude.

The party dresses were not cold-proof, and it was an autumn night on an island, so the wind was cold and damp and was blowing.

Out of respect for the ordinary people participating in the banquet, the warlocks did not advocate casting magic on such occasions, so everyone had to pretend to be tolerant in the cold wind, or even listen to the lengthy roll calls with appreciation.

The roll call of the three people including Lan En was very brief, but the waves it caused were quite big.

Originally, the size of the demon hunter stood out in the team, causing a lot of whispers.

But when the name was actually announced, everyone was still surprised even though they were mentally prepared.

——The elusive Lord Hunter is really back! And this is the first time he has fully revealed his close relationship with Aretuza Academy in public!
But at the same time.
"Not Ms. Tishaya? Not that Tishaya de Vries?"

"He has such a good relationship with both deans? Wow~"

"Not only is Aretusa, but Triss is also with him. Does that mean the rumors are true?"

Even with the standardization of 'banquet etiquette', it is impossible for everyone to restrain their gossiping mentality.

However, the three of them didn't care about it and just walked into the banquet hall.

This hall is a very imposing room in the main building of Aretuza College. The height of its dome and its grandeur are worth Lan En's evaluation.

Similar to the World of Fire, the ruins of the [God's Capital] Anor Londo where [Dark Moon God] Gwyndolin migrated from, and the former residence hall of [Sunshine Princess] Gwynevere.

Narrow and long colored glass is distributed on the towering walls, and the moonlight of the autumn night shines in obliquely, mixing with the candlelight illusion created by magic.

The dome is different from the plain and solemn buildings in the Fire World. It has colorful dome paintings, which mainly depict naked figures.

The walls were hung with tapestries, garlands, and banners, which fluttered slightly in the cool breeze.

There were no chairs in the hall, just a huge dining table, with exquisite plates and dishes placed on even more exquisite tablecloths, as well as exquisite flower arrangements and gorgeous ice sculptures.

Without even looking, Lan En knew from his common sense about banquets that there would be far more decorations than food on those tables.

"Very good." Lan En said this, but the expression on his face was hard to describe. "I didn't know the wizards' banquet had reached the stage of self-service."

"It has only become popular in recent years." Triss said casually, "We are progressive people. If there is a new form of banquet that is different from the traditional one, we will definitely be the first to follow."

There was a hint of sarcasm in the words of this red-haired sorceress.

Margarita, on the other hand, seemed to be adapting well.

"But if we sit behind tables in a smoky, dimly lit room like at a traditional banquet, eating and drinking, how can we show off our beautiful dresses and hot bodies, dear?"

There are sorceresses who are not vain, but they are definitely rare.

Vanity is part of the strong character of these sorceresses.

They want the best of everything, not only material possessions but even beauty, and it would be best if they could outdo those other sorceresses.

Margarita said this while wantonly displaying her charm.

Aretuza's status as the dean, coupled with her own magical talent and attainments, and her body like that of a goddess of beauty.

Her favorite time was to saunter in front of the attendees at banquets, because few could be more dazzling than her.

She was very good at creating a sense of superiority for herself. She always found it very interesting that those sorceresses who were not as beautiful and dazzling as her wanted to eat her, but had to greet her with smiles and praise her because of etiquette and face.

Much of Margarita's motivation as a banquet master comes from this.

Is the principle similar to 'successful people prefer to attend class reunions'?
"I'm going to get some scallops and prawns, would you like some?" Margarita said casually, without any restraint or discomfort.

"I don't need it." Lan En waved his hand in a disinterested manner. "I didn't expect to be able to eat a full meal at this banquet."

He was not an ignorant man. In fact, he had not only participated in banquets that were more complicated and grand than the one in front of him, but had even hosted them during his [Memory Dive].

But he is different from ordinary sons of the Emperor. After all, Lan En is still a person who hates cumbersome procedures.

He could make everything at the party perfect, but he still wouldn't like it.

Just like now, almost half of the people in the hall, sitting in groups of three or four, had their eyes focused on him.

However, his every move did not show any sign of being helpless as if he was attending such a banquet for the first time. Instead, he acted calmly, as if he was the host entertaining guests.

Triss did not leave Lan En's side, but took two glasses of sparkling wine from the tray carried by a passing waiter. When she handed them to Lan En, the wine glasses looked like small bottles of oral liquid.

"In fact, I should have been that kind of person in the past." The sorceress with burgundy hair tied around her head pointed her wine glass in the direction of Margarita and said with a smile.

But Lan turned around and found that she was not referring to Margarita, but to the sorceresses that the dean passed by.

"When you greet someone, you're so affectionate, but then you turn around and say, 'This woman is becoming more and more conspicuous.'"

Triss said self-deprecatingly.

"Honestly, you are much better than them." Lan En looked at the moving lips of the sorceresses.

He was sure that these people were saying things like 'slutty bitch'.

"Tell me the truth, Triss." Lan En looked at the sorceress beside him with a teasing look, "You didn't say anything more outrageous?"

“Hey!” Triss blushed slightly and looked at the witcher in a reproachful manner, “What’s wrong with us women gossiping about each other? I don’t hate Rita to that extent. Besides, that was in the past.”

"Before? What's the difference between now and before?"

"Now," Triss said with a very provocative smile on her face, her hand stroking up Lan's chest, "at least when it comes to showing off the male companion, we are evenly matched, right?"

Of course, even someone as bold as the sorceress would not lose her sense of propriety in public like a banquet.

Triss's palm slid all the way up and gently touched the roaring bear head pendant on Lan's neck.

At this moment, the demon hunter's silver pendant was trembling slightly on its own.

Lan En also looked down, then just smiled.

It was said that 'we should respect the ordinary people at the banquet. Using magic here would be considered disrespectful', but there was no doubt that Lan En did not expect most warlocks to have self-control, and the facts were indeed as he thought.

When he stood here, countless tentacles of thought around him had already spread towards him, trying to secretly spy on the information and secrets in his mind.

No matter how famous he is, he is just a demon hunter after all.

He has a magic resistance that is only slightly higher than that of ordinary people, but that's all.

But for warlocks, telepathy is their natural ability.

With a little practice, when they are performing telepathic communication with others, that person won't even notice anything.

The demon hunter's necklace can sense magic and magical power, but in the eyes of some warlocks, this thing is not impossible to deceive, it just requires higher skills.

"Do you want to kiss me here?"

Lan En didn't look at the necklace that started to vibrate with magic power after Triss reminded him, but just lowered his head to look at the red-haired beauty.

As their bodies touched, the unique feeling once again surged into the sorceress's sensitive body, causing her face to turn red and her eyes to become seductive before she even took two sips of the sparkling wine.

"If you don't mind, why not, dear?"

Lan bent down slightly and put his hand close to Triss's cheek. The hot breath he exhaled made the hairs on the sorceress' ears stand up.

Suddenly, more eyes were looking at them, and the necklace on the witcher's neck jumped faster.

Being in a state of lust usually causes the mind to become confused, which is a good opportunity for telepathy.

But in Lan's smile as he put his mouth close to Triss, there was no lust in it but only amusement.

"No need to protect my brain, Triss."

The sorceress's originally dazed eyes suddenly cleared up, and she looked at her lover who was so close to her in surprise.

"I wanted them to see what was in my head."
