Chapter 629 Lanqi's Ultimate Confidence
The Ice Witch shook her head and decided not to delve into the issue any further.
Compared to her, who had just come here from the Northern Continent a few months ago, Loren had known Florence for several years and must know Florence better and be more familiar with Florence than she did.
She indeed seldom left the temple of the forest capital of Gedalia, and had not been to the southern continent for hundreds of years. Sometimes she felt that the city of Ikerit was full of novelty.
"Where did you go today? I couldn't find you all morning."
The Ice Witch walked up to Loren and, still somewhat unhappily, brought the topic back to business.
Loren this morning seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
If her guess was correct, this guy called it a day off, but in fact he was probably taking advantage of the time difference to do something shady.
Loren was stronger than her. If he consciously concealed his magic power and whereabouts, she really couldn't find where Loren was, and she didn't dare to rashly follow Loren in this state.
"I, I'm going to meet a friend."
Loren explained a little nervously.
“…”
The Ice Witch stared at Loren's panicked look and was silent for a moment.
If Loren was completely calm and composed, she would think it was okay, just the general quality of a mastermind.
But this guy could actually act flustered to just the right degree.
It was just like being met by a colleague on a date with my girlfriend on the weekend.
It's a bit too raw and natural.
"I understand."
The Ice Witch thought it over again and again and nodded.
Since Loren wanted to act this way, she could only go along with him.
It would be dangerous if I rashly revealed my intention to expose him before gaining his trust.
"You have indeed been working too hard recently, I have seen it. But next time when you are free, could you please consider helping me work overtime as well?"
There was still no smile on her face, and she spoke to Loren in a flat voice.
"I'm sorry... I don't know how to thank you..."
Loren held the back of his head with one hand and lowered his head.
Guilt mixed with gratitude made him particularly confused about how to express it.
"Then if there is a day off like this next time, take me with you, otherwise I will feel unbalanced."
The Ice Witch said.
In order not to reveal his intention to investigate Loren, but also to have a reasonable reason to keep an eye on him to avoid being caught by him without a suitable explanation, the best way is to obtain his permission naturally. In this way, staying by his side, no matter how he tracks him, it will be reasonable.
After all, women's curiosity can explain most problems.
"…Uh, Ms. Artemis, but we."
Loren's voice was strained.
Even if he was slow-witted, he knew that when a man and a woman went out together on their day off, it could probably be considered a date.
"Just as a colleague. Or do you think people like me are boring and don't want to spend even a day with me?"
The Ice Witch walked closer, looked up at Loren, and asked.
"No, I really thank you, and you are a person who makes me feel extremely reliable. In my most difficult time, you are the only one who is willing to support me so firmly. If it weren't for you, I don't know how I would have survived the past month."
Loren quickly replied sincerely.
“…”
The Ice Witch was speechless.
Gazing at that sincere look, the Ice Witch couldn't help but let down her guard in an instant.
For some reason, she always felt that Loren's emotions at this moment did not seem like acting at all.
wrong.
This was exactly what was terrifying, because she couldn't tell whether this man was lying to her or being sincere to her.
The heroic stage of the Northern Continent was vivid in her mind, and the last words of the Son of Destruction echoed in her ears. Everything reminded her that there was definitely something wrong with Loren.
"So, your answer."
She came back to her senses and her vision became clear again.
"As long as you don't mind, that's fine with me."
Loren smiled helplessly.
He couldn't understand what Artmis was thinking from the first time they met. The only thing he was sure of was that Artmis was good to him.
At the moment, she doesn't seem to hate herself that much.
The instructor said that team building with colleagues is a very normal thing, and sometimes more team building can strengthen the cohesion of the church.
"Then it's a date."
After the Ice Witch finished speaking, she turned and left, also signaling to Loren that he could leave.
【……】
Amid the instructor's silence, Loren opened the door of the temple's confidential room again and walked along the corridor, gradually speeding up his pace.
In less than half a minute, he crossed the Yarra moat and the river port bridge and returned to the other side where the Ikerite Opera House was located.
"Instructor, what's the time?"
[Seventeen minutes and twenty seconds have passed since you left Juliana.]
The instructor's voice came immediately, proving that he was not offline just now, but had been listening but not speaking.
Loren felt relieved instantly when he heard the voice.
Even though the instructor's voice had been changed and it was impossible to tell what it originally sounded like, Loren's entire sense of security now rested on this voice.
Following the instructor's route planning, I passed the most difficult level today without any trouble.
The good news is that you have many routes.
The instructor suddenly said.
"What about the bad news?"
Loren didn't understand what the instructor meant by "route" at this time.
It didn't sound like he was referring to the route back to the opera, because he was almost there.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
[The bad news is that you opened every line.]
"?"
Loren didn't understand and looked confused.
[It's not a big problem. You are now back on track with the dating line. Let's talk about the brother line and the witch line later. Next, you just need to have dinner with Juliana, watch a show, and go to the Golden Bee Amusement Park to play a little in the evening, and the date will be over. ]
The instructor's voice continued to ring in Loren's ears.
"hiss."
The playground mentioned by the instructor made Loren a little worried.
Because Ikerit's Golden Bee Amusement Park has always been a crowded place with many special souvenirs and limited food prizes, and it is often even more crowded on weekend evenings. Loren has never had the experience of going to such a fashionable place with girls.
The instructor analyzed Julianna's preferences and selected this date agenda in a timely manner. As expected, it was quite what Julianna wanted.
[Don't worry, I'll be at the playground at night too, if you get into any trouble I might just show up as any passerby and help you.]
The instructor said.
"Thank you, instructor."
Loren felt a surge of relief.
[Anyway, after today's drill, you have already made some progress in time management. Be more confident. Even if you have to face the real hell difficulty next time, I believe you can get through it. What doesn't destroy you will make you stronger.]
"What if I'm destroyed?"
Although Loren didn't know what the instructor meant, his series of riddles made him feel like the gears of fate had begun to turn, and he himself was completely unaware of it.
【I am here. 】
The instructor's voice was still so confident.
"That would be great."
Loren finally let go of his worries.
"Can I ask you to give me some guidance next time I go on a date?"
[No problem, no matter when or where, even if I have an appointment myself, I will do my best to help you at the same time.]
"good!"
The instructor's confidence, his expression remaining calm even when a mountain was collapsing before his eyes, seemed to infect him.
After all, they succeeded today.
Next time, it will be even more successful!
…
On a bench at the edge of the Temple Square, a black-haired young man in a baseball cap sipped his coffee in one hand, then finally hung up the headset and stopped communicating for the time being.
He opened his notebook, took out the temporary bookmark [Golden Bee Amusement Park Admission Ticket], and began to look at the hand-drawn map.
The little black cat next to him moved closer.
"Meow meow, if you happen to want three threads yourself next time, and you also want to command Loren to have three threads, do you really dare to play?"
As if he had anticipated the worst, the cat boss looked at Lanqi and asked with some concern.
"First of all, there is no chance of such a low-probability event happening."
Lanqi looked at it and just smiled easily.
"Secondly, this is not that difficult for me. Can you imagine me begging for mercy out of fear?"
Those eyes, like the emerald green water surface, are still as clear as ever, naturally filled with thought and comfort.
"Meow."
The cat boss shouted and looked at Lanqi who was trapped in the thinking universe.
Since Lanqi said it would succeed, there was no need to worry about the future. It could just have fun with Lanqi today.
Then it grabbed the golden admission ticket that Lanqi had placed on the chair.
It seemed to remember that when Tata came back yesterday, the edge of the shopping paper bag he was holding also had a golden corner exposed.
But it was probably wrong. These two people couldn't go everywhere together.
