Looking at Guilliman's sincere expression and his promise to absolutely protect her,
Margarita knew full well that the man in front of her was a smooth-talker, a philanderer, and an ambitious fellow.
But she still chose to follow her intuition and trust him.
There was nothing she could do; Margarita was just such a love-struck woman, not pursuing power or wealth, a very kind and principled sorceress.
The sorceress, with a perfect figure like an ancient Greek goddess, gave the Witcher a perfect and enchanting smile, and said in a mature, older-sister-like voice:
"You're indeed getting stronger, little one."
"Before, your stamina wasn't enough to satisfy this elder sister so comfortably."
"As for the proposal you made, you'll have to convince me a few more times."
"As long as you can 'sleep-convince' me, those old geezers at the academy should also agree."
...After the Witcher Academy and the Sorceress Academy reached a cooperative relationship,
the relationship between Guilliman and Margarita seemed to have deepened.
They weren't in a traditional romantic relationship, but rather more like close confidantes who understood each other and got along very well.
After all, for Margarita, after the death of Tissaia, who was both a mentor and a friend, the only thing left in this world that she cherished and held dear was the Sorceress Academy, left behind by her grandmother and friend.
This is also why Margarita, who originally disliked trouble, took over as headmistress, and even in the original timeline, was willing to sacrifice herself to protect her students.
The Sorceress Academy and its students were very important to Margarita.
After discussing official matters,
Guilliman immediately extended a personal invitation to Margarita, inviting this authority in life sciences and genetics to join his Witcher research and development team and serve as the project director.
"Heh heh, as expected of an ambitious fellow."
"Regarding the subsequent research and development of Witcher mutations?"
"Those old timers among the Witchers didn't even have this idea, but you're already worrying about it."
After hearing Guilliman's proposition, Margarita was not surprised.
After all, everyone wants to improve their strength, let alone her ambitious little lover.
She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then said:
"The problem isn't too big, after all, besides my own research, most of my other time is spent earning money or treating difficult patients."
"As long as you can afford my fee as a high-level healer, I would, of course, be more willing to work for you."
Margarita stroked the Witcher's handsome face with a doting expression, but after a few seconds, she suddenly showed a mischievous smile and said playfully with a teasing look:
"However, Guilliman, you really need to think carefully."
"I heard that many past Witcher schools and members were killed by some sorcerers with ulterior motives, through conspiracies and magical disasters."
"The destruction of the Witcher order was also related to the Brotherhood of Sorcerers."
"If you invite me to be the head of Witcher R&D, then you must hand over all the most important Witcher secrets and data to me for research."
"You might trust me, but will your companions be willing to trust a sorceress like me?"
Tsk tsk tsk, those words were really blunt.
Any other Witcher would probably be very hurt.
If he didn't know Margarita's character, she would really seem like a bad woman.
Guilliman complained inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged, and he still said sincerely:
"No, Margarita."
"I trust you very much, just as I was able to entrust my life to you when I was in danger."
"Moreover, in this era, the power of ordinary people is growing stronger and stronger."
"It's no longer an era where one gives up accepting change and reform just to protect secrets."
"Don't worry, you don't need to consider any other problems; you can leave them all to me to solve."
"You just need to focus on your research."
"Oh, right, I know there's some information about Witchers undergoing secondary mutations. It's in Toussaint, a research by someone named Thomas Moreau."
"After some time, I will give you some of the existing information from our Witcher Academy, as well as Professor Thomas's research data, all together."
"I hope it can inspire you."
Guilliman suddenly thought of some valuable resources in Toussaint.
Although secondary mutations might not be very useful to him anymore, for other Witchers in the academy and for the subsequent development of Witchers, Professor Thomas Moreau's research was still very significant.
As for worrying about Witcher data leaking and being used by malicious individuals against him,
please, if he, as a transmigrator who can travel through countless worlds and is constantly growing stronger, were to be afraid that his speed of becoming stronger couldn't keep up with others' speed of researching his weaknesses, then what would be the point of his cheat?
Technology is constantly progressing; being stuck in one's ways will only make one lose the motivation to move forward.
If Witchers could only grow to their current level, then the Witcher legion would not be worth his anticipation.
For the next two days, Guilliman stayed at the Aretuza Academy.
Most of his time was spent studying in the library, while the rest of the time he was messing around with Headmistress Margarita.
As the two most authoritative sorcerer academies in the North, the Aretuza Academy's library contained the most extensive data, the most complete history, and many lost magical knowledge in the entire North.
Although two days was not a long time, Guilliman still learned many details here that players would never see, which were very useful for understanding the truth of this world.
He decided that once the permanent teleportation array was established, and when he had free time, he would spend it in the library to recharge and learn more magical knowledge.
However, Margarita clearly misunderstood him; the headmistress thought the Witcher was lustful and wanted to flirt with the tender young female students in the academy.
She was like a mother hen protecting her chicks, constantly watching him, draining him dry every night, not letting him do anything bad.
Two days later, Guilliman returned to Vizima.
Just as he was considering whether he should tell his Witcher brothers about these two decisions he had made,
the royal advisor, the sorceress Keira, found him at this moment, with an excited and rather proud expression, smiling broadly as she said:
"Guilliman, hahaha."
"I'm going to be famous, I will surely receive people's praise and respect."
"The Catriona Plague can indeed be cured by the Plague Maiden; the Plague Maiden we captured can break that damned plague."
