Chapter 332: 332. Space Expansion Pack
After strapping on the [Turbulent Stream], Lann’s steps beca even heavier.
Despite the continuous operation of the Light Body Skill breathing technique, his footsteps, and the heat he emitted from carrying this sword, still made one think of a brown bear walking with its massive body supported by its paws.
——The weight of the body itself is intimidating.
When facing a creature far heavier than oneself, when such a creature approaches, the instinct alone is enough to make one feel flustered.
When Lann strapped this oversized sword on his back, the sword handle wrapped in linen white cloth protruded from his right shoulder, while the cold sharp tip swayed beside his left calf.
Just seeing this sword made it hard to imagine how it could be wielded.
Indeed, as Belengar said, even in knight stories, such unrealistic weapons haven’t appeared for a long ti.
The young man was extrely pleased with a weapon beyond his expectations.
He didn’t try a slash first; after all, such a huge weapon was hard to wield within the academy.
Lann walked towards the headmaster’s office first.
The female warlock apprentices along the way had long gotten used to the presence of a Demon Hunter in an originally n-less academy, but every ti they t Lann in the still spacious corridors,
they would pretend to be cramped and squeeze past him.
Margaret’s strict orders seed useless, after all, she’s known for her kind and relaxed style throughout the academy.
The apprentices didn’t fear her like they did the forr headmaster.
When Lann knocked on the solid oak door of the headmaster’s office and walked in, Margaret’s first words made him unable to hold back.
"Even though I don’t have a Demon Hunter’s nose, I can sll at least six different perfus on you already, tsk tsk tsk..."
The blonde warlock sat relaxed against the back of the cashre long chair, one hand draped over its edge, her long legs crossed elegantly.
In such a tension-filled pose, her not-so-conservative dress tried hard, but still revealed a lot of ’content’.
At this mont, Margaret was teasingly firing words and looks at Lann, who just entered.
"So why doesn’t a certain headmaster reflect on their lack of authority? Never seen a farr’s fruit grow limbs and protect itself."
Good, the young man’s counterattack made that teasing face freeze instantly.
Maintaining the upper hand, not even glancing at Margaret, Lann walked past her to the desk, took off the big sword from his back, leaned it against the wall, and sat in the guest chair.
Like the young man who just entered, Tishaya didn’t look at Margaret either, making the current headmaster feel even more defeated.
"A very impressive sword."
While organizing the docunts she just processed, Tishaya gave a polite complint.
"Belengar’s craftsmanship speaks for itself, he’s only limited by his identity as a Demon Hunter and can’t take the blacksmith guild exam, otherwise the master level wouldn’t be difficult for him."
Similarly giving a polite response, Lann took out his Alchemy Pouch from his lower back.
"I mainly ca for spatial equipnt. Margaret ntioned it to you before, right? I always feel unprepared crossing the astral sphere, now that I have so Valerian Steel shares, I have a bit of confidence to purchase premium gear."
"I said you could use mine, but you don’t!"
Margaret complained on the side, but neither of them listened, making the current headmaster grit her teeth at Lann’s back.
She didn’t dare give such a look to her own teacher.
Tishaya continued organizing those seemingly already neat docunts without turning her head, the Alchemy Pouch floated in mid-air by itself and flew over to her.
"Hmm, so sort of large creature’s scrap skin stitched together... You’ve maintained it well."
The forr headmaster briefly examined the Alchemy Pouch, seemingly assessing if the material could withstand space expansion enchantnt.
"It’s scrap skin from a stone lizard, stitched together from leftovers sold to rchants. Will it work?"
Lann asked straightforwardly.
He wasn’t even a warlock, let alone space expansion enchantnts, which are considered advanced in warlock circles.
"It’ll work, the stone lizard leather’s magic conductivity is decent enough to serve as a base material for enchantnt. Rita’s handbag is made from a silver stone lizard’s leather. She went to Toussaint specifically for it."
ntioned in this context, possibly touching her favorite fashion topic, Margaret happily spoke.
"That handbag has been with
for almost twenty years. Recently, I’m thinking of swapping it with Yennefer. She has a handbag woven from banshee hair that looks quite tasteful."
Tishaya indifferently nodded.
Lann had heard of this female warlock from Yaden.
Yennefer, Margaret, Tishaya, the three of them, not wanting to involve themselves in complex political situations, were already good friends when Tishaya was still teaching the other two.
Just now, Mr. Lan, who thought of himself as having beco rich, licked his lips and said nothing.
"The enchantnt for space expansion will take two days. There are quite a few appointnts ahead of you, but I’ll put yours first. Just co back here in two days to pick it up."
"I have no problem, thank you, Tishaya."
Lann took out a conical crystal from his Alchemy Pouch and kept it with him, leaving the pouch there, as it contained nothing important aside from that.
The forr headmaster waved her hand, indicating it was no big deal.
"Thirty thousand Oren will be deducted from your future share profits, alright?"
"Of course, I should be paying for new equipnt."
Tishaya agreed with a nod: "Indeed, even the closest partners must keep clear accounts, or a fallout is just around the corner."
Lann paused his movent of pocketing the conical crystal, sensing Tishaya’s underlying implication.
"Hmm... You want
to have my own financial team?"
Without much effort, Lann understood Tishaya’s underlying aning.
"You should pay attention to your financial situation, after all, you now hold shares in a major business. You can’t rely on those managing business operations to conscientiously safeguard your interests, can you?"
"Airetusa is fine, at least Rita and I won’t be interested in your shares, but what about those under us handling specific business operations? They take what’s yours, yet it undermines the trust between us even though we never intended such actions."
Lann understood this easily, nodding with a furrowed brow.
"So the best thod... is to avoid giving each other any chances to overreach among partners. It’s about caring for your collaborator."
"But you know my situation as well, I recently don’t have the ti to find a trustworthy manager, the ti over there is approaching. You’re also aware of how thin my network is."
Tishaya’s expression remained calm: "It’s not urgent, after all, this business is just starting, you have plenty of ti to prepare, but you should keep it in mind."
"Alright, I’ll pay attention when I return."
