"I'm sorry I heard about your parents while I was out there." Mossak patted Lan's shoulder comfortingly.

"But seeing you look so energetic now, I feel relieved. I heard that you are the champion of the tournament and the best swordsman in Cintra?"

Lan En was modest: "It was just that Uncle Vidonni gave in to me, and I also used a little trick."

"Knives and swords will not deceive warriors. Strength is strength." The druid's tone was very gratified. "If the Lannister Knights were still alive, they would definitely be proud of you, my child."

"So why did you come to see an old man like me today? To review your old lessons?"

"I really want to, but that may have to be postponed for some time. I actually have a lot of things to come to you for today."

Lann held his notebook and looked at Mossak anxiously as he was about to go out. "But it seems that you are about to go out. Maybe I should visit you at another time."

"It's okay. I'm on my way to teach Princess Cirilla. You can come along."

I don't mind at all. Lan's eyes lit up: "Then it's just right for me to go see Ciri. I don't know why recently, I always feel that everyone is helping her avoid me."

"Princess Shirilla is hiding from you? Don't you know why?" Mossak was stunned, then thought about what had happened recently and showed an understanding expression.

Lan nodded: "I think it may be because the princess is getting married that she avoids meeting the opposite sex, but she wouldn't be on guard against me, a member of the royal family."

Mossak nodded meaningfully: "It seems that you really don't know why."

The two walked in the corridor of the castle and exchanged pleasantries.

"Actually, the first reason I came to see you today is to ask you to help me see if I have a talent for magic. I wonder what the testing process is like?"

"Have you been interested in magic recently?" Mossak was stunned for a moment, then said regretfully, "I'm really sorry, Lann. I can tell you with certainty that you are not a magic source."

Mossak's straightforwardness caught Lan off guard: "Can you tell that so directly? Don't you need a crystal ball to test talent or something?"

The druid patted Lan's golden head with amusement and said, "Read less legendary novels. We spellcasters can sense the chaotic energy between heaven and earth - the power of elements, and people who are born with magic power also have the energy that we can sense. I regret to tell you, Lan: you don't have it."

"Is it possible that it has not yet awakened?" Lan En asked persistently, "For example, the power that is dormant in the blood can only be awakened when one reaches a certain age or encounters special conditions?"

This sentence was somewhat suggestive and almost explicit. Mossak pondered for a moment and replied:

"Lan, I don't know where you heard the rumor from, but what I want to tell you is that there are indeed some ancient bloodlines that carry enormous power. But these powers cannot be stimulated artificially. Not every individual who carries the bloodline can inherit the power."

“Many times, we only carry blood, not power.”

Mossak sighed and patted Lann on the shoulder: "It seems that we haven't seen each other for a long time. We really need to have a good chat. I am a little curious about your passion for the mysticism."

"Of course, Mr. Mossak." Lan took a deep breath. "I have a lot of things I want to ask you."

The two soon arrived at the side hall used for teaching, where the depressed Princess Ciri was being disciplined by the nanny. Since her engagement, she had been strictly educated by the etiquette nanny in the palace, not being allowed to see guests or play. God knows how happy she was when she knew that Mossak had come back to teach her.

It would be nice if Lan could come along, since they haven't met since he won the tournament.

"When you meet Mr. Mossak later, Your Highness, you must address him respectfully as 'teacher'. I know that Mr. Consultant has taught you since you were a child, but now you are a married woman, so you must consciously follow some etiquette."

Mammy was chattering incessantly behind her, and Ciri nodded her head as if she was very sleepy.

Soon, the door opened, Ciri's eyes lit up, and she stood up suddenly. The violent movement made Mammy frown and hesitate to speak.

"Uncle Mossak! You're finally back. I missed you so much!"

The druid appeared in Ciri's sight, still looking calm and elegant.

"It's been a long time since I saw you, my princess. I missed you too." Mossak came in with a smile and watched Her Royal Highness the Princess rush towards him with her arms open without any princess etiquette.

The princess was very enthusiastic, and the druid missed the princess very much, but the druid just stood there smiling without any physical response.

At this time, Lann, who was half a body length behind the druid, appeared from outside the door and greeted Ciri with a bright smile.

"Long time no see, Ciri~"

The silhouette of Her Royal Highness the Princess suddenly changed direction in the air and accelerated twice, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, brushing past the druid's clothes and raising a few strands of hair mixed with white.

As soon as Lan entered the room, he felt something suddenly hit his arms, and his body, which had just stepped into the door, was almost knocked out again.

"Waaaaaaah, I missed you so much, Lane!"

Mossak still had a smiling expression on his face. He put the book in his hand on the table and turned to the maids whose faces changed drastically.

"Ladies, we are about to start teaching here. If you can, please leave for a while."

After asking all the servants and maids to leave as a teacher, only Lan, Ciri and Mossak were left in the room.

By the time Mossak had tidied up his desk and was ready to start his lecture, Ciri's grievance meeting on the other side had not yet ended.

"Wow, Lane, I missed you so much. They won't let me go out now."

"I missed you too, but what did you mean by sending Black Wind here? Are you mad at me?"

"You don't like it?"

"I like it very much. Black Wind is a great horse."

"That's great, woo woo woo, I'm about to go to the marriage alliance, and I won't be able to ride a horse anymore, woo woo woo, I don't want to go to the marriage alliance..."

Mossak smiled and watched for a long time before finally coughing twice and interrupting, "Your Highness, Xiruila, I have to remind you that our class today is about to begin and the schedule is tight."

"Mossak, you just came back, why don't you take a rest."

The druid's smile remained unchanged: "No."

Lan patted the little princess's mouse-gray head, and she reluctantly pulled herself out of Lan's arms.

"Then... can Lan stay and attend class together?"

"certainly."
