Chapter 487: Lanqi and Sigrid's Date (Part 2)

On this Saturday morning, Lanci and Sigrid's date started by boarding the hanging garden in the southern district of Herrom.

At lunchtime, they took a leisurely trip to the Helselen restaurant on Fourth Street, whose appearance found the perfect balance between gorgeous and mysterious.

The Gothic architectural style is intertwined with the curtain wall of magic craftsmanship. As soon as you walk into the restaurant, you are surrounded by a luxurious and artistic atmosphere. There are many immortal crystal lamps suspended under the ceiling of tens of meters, and the interior is decorated with dark red tones. Decorated in gold, the long table was covered in supple satin and held invisible tableware that would change color according to the user's magic power only if it was lightly touched.

The Helselen restaurant is famous for its unique dishes, which combine the cuisine of the northern continent with the unique flavors of Helrom.

Guests in the restaurant come from all corners of the Protos Empire, including high-ranking government officials, famous explorers, and some mysterious hybrid races.

This is the perfect place for them to discuss important matters, enjoy a meal or simply socialize.

The cat boss never comes back to this restaurant. A major feature of the restaurant is that some dishes are endowed with special alchemical magic, which can temporarily increase their own attributes or bring a fantasy experience. Unfortunately, the cat boss cannot learn it.

In the afternoon, the two started their journey in the art district in the center of Herrom.

In addition to the business district, it is also full of the artistic atmosphere of ancient Protos, with colorful street graffiti and various independent galleries.

They enjoyed afternoon tea and watched a magic show on the wide pedestrian square.

Then time flew by and I finished watching the Herrom Evening Show without realizing it. I walked out of the building of the Herrom Broadcasting Company where the recording was held, had dinner, and then walked back and strolled to the vicinity of the Star Theater.

The night sky here seems to be magnified by magic, and the stars are so close.

"Time flies so fast, it got dark all of a sudden today."

Sigrid looked up at the dark blue sky, wondering if there was something wrong with the sky.

But she also knew it.

Today is almost over.

Any good day is forward.

But when I think back to the more than a month that the two of them traveled back and forth in the north together, it seemed like they spent every day together, but they didn't realize at that time that in fact every day was extremely beautiful.

"Is there anywhere else you want to go?"

Lan Qi asked with a gentle smile.

He was never in a hurry and was in a relaxed state. After the day of the bishop's election, he looked at ease all the time.

"I heard that there is an old neighborhood in Helrom, but it may teleport people to random places. People who are unlucky may be teleported into the magic river."

Sigrid thought for a moment, looked at Lan Qi very seriously, and said.

"Wouldn't that be dangerous?"

Ranch remembers the old neighborhood.

When he first came to Helrom, his student Zestila warned him that the old neighborhood with a slightly twisted shape was very dangerous and he should not step into it casually.

Its spatial structure is actually different from the outside world. It is like a multi-dimensional intersection. If you step in, you may reach any location in Helrom at any time.

"Actually, it's okay. It's not that dangerous, because the teleportation distance won't be too far, and even if someone goes in and walks around, it won't trigger the teleportation."

Sigrid explained to Ranchi,

"But I heard that if two people hold hands, they will be teleported to the same place."

At the end of her words, she added quietly.

"..."

Ranchi walked forward and pondered.

"How about it?"

As Sigrid said that, she bumped Lanqi lightly with her shoulder, and then looked at him secretly from the corner of her eye.

Lan Qi stopped.

"Then you have to hold me tight and never let go."

Lanci held out his hand to Sigrid.

"……ah?"

Sigrid was surprised for a moment, as if she didn't expect the Holy Son to be so straightforward.

In fact, it is also possible to hold the corner of your clothes.

Just like when they were intercepted by the Holy Son of Nirvana before dawn in the northern snowfield, she could just keep holding the Holy Son's sleeve tightly.

"Isn't this kind of line generally supposed to be spoken by girls? Holy Son, you have so much tea!"

Sigrid grinned, held Lan Qi's hand tightly, and led him happily striding forward.

Although it is still some distance from the old neighborhood.

But Sigrid held his hand and did not let go, all the way to the entrance of this neighborhood.

The streets are narrow and bumpy, looking like mountain roads from a distance.

It is flanked by ancient stone buildings, and street lamps cast a faint light, twinkling in the night.

They held hands and explored this unpopular scenic spot that few people have visited.

Without the atmosphere of crowds, the building complex seems to be filled with an atmosphere of loneliness.

In the dim light, the shadow of the bench on the street was lengthened, and the two figures also danced on the wall.

"Are you afraid? If you are, you can hold my sister's hand tighter."

Sigrid looked back at Lan Qi, with a hint of probing in her smile.

The bright purple looked particularly clear in the moonlight.

"Not afraid."

Lan Qi's voice was calm.

In this neighborhood, unlike the hustle and bustle of the outside world, there are only two people's conversations floating gently in the air.

"cut."

Sigrid gave him a disappointed tug, pulled him closer, and continued walking forward.

As she turned forward again, her hair flying in the air, Lan Qi continued to be led by her and followed behind her.

Sigrid was humming a little tune, seeming to be in a particularly happy mood, or maybe she was finally very satisfied with today's date.

After a long time, she took Lan Qi to an old tower building. The outside of the building was a steep and incomplete spiral staircase. This was a dangerous place where one could slip and fall if not careful.

"Go up and have a look."

Sigrid's voice was filled with excitement.

Then she looked at Lan Qi again, trying to see his scared expression.

To her disappointment, Lan Qi still had no mood swings.

However, at this moment, the scene of the neighborhood began to change subtly. The surrounding buildings seemed to gradually lose their inherent shape, began to twist slightly, and were surrounded by an invisible magic power.

Suddenly, everything seemed to be spinning!

Along with a feeling of weightlessness, the field of vision completely changed in an instant.

The high-altitude wind blew on their faces, and their vision was filled with a dark night cityscape dotted with gold.

It’s a glittering world, illuminated by skyscrapers, streets, temples, squares—all at once.

From this familiar perspective of a thousand meters above the ground, they actually came to the edge of the Star Theater in the sky!

It's like being able to reach the moon.

And the strong wind was blowing, and they could fall down at any time.

Before he could appreciate the dangerous scenery, Lan Qi suddenly thought of something and was about to speak to Sigrid.

But Sigrid seemed to have lost her footing, grabbing Lan Qi and jumping down from the sea of ​​clouds at high altitude.

The moment he saw everything clearly again, the wind howled in his ears, and all gravity seemed to have disappeared. The pressure of the air made him convinced that he was caught by Sigrid and started bungee jumping unexpectedly.

"Are you scared?"

Sigrid held Lan Qi's hand tightly and asked him with a smile.

According to Gloria, this has a suspension bridge effect. When a person nervously crosses the suspension bridge, his heartbeat will involuntarily increase. If he happens to meet another person at this time, he will misunderstand the accelerated heartbeat caused by this situation as the physiological reaction of the other person to make his heart beat, so he will develop feelings for the other person.

"fine."

But the problem is.

Sigrid was pretty sure this guy didn't look like his heart was racing at all!

"Why aren't you afraid?"

Sigrid asked a little exasperatedly.

She had wanted to scare Lan Qi just now, but he was not scared at all.

"I have the strongest woman in the world by my side."

Lan Qi answered very seriously, regardless of the fact that the two of them were falling freely in the sky.

The eyes looking at Sigrid seemed to say, I have nothing to be afraid of.

"Besides, I've been dragged to the sky twice by you like this."

he added.

"Ahhh, you guy, when will you be scared?"

Sigrid was not ready to slow down Lanqi in the air, so she complained unconvincedly.

Asksan can't scare you, and Morotian can't scare you either. Doesn't it take the ninth level to scare you?

“…that day in the halls of Congress.”

Lan Qi thought for a while and said.

"Oh? What specific time?"

Sigrid suddenly became energetic, adjusted her posture slightly in the air, and listened carefully.

"Looking at you and Askesan starting a desperate battle, it is destined that only one of you can come out alive..."

Lanci replied.

"Well."

Sigrid clutched her chest, except for the noisy wind, all she could hear was her heartbeat.

The purple light in her eyes traced a clear trajectory through the fog in the imperial capital of Herrom. The clouds and fog quickly passed by her sides. The next second, everything began to accelerate, and the cold air rushed towards her face. Every breath It's like being inhaled from an ice cellar.

She held Lan Qi, used the power of magic to protect his balance, and led him to leap in the air.

It didn't take long to arrive at the lake on the northernmost side of Protos Royal Academy of Magic.

It seemed that the cold air that hit her face while flying in the air made her regain her composure.

But she didn't look at Lan Qi, just looked at the lake, turned her back to him, and slowly let go of his hand.

Even without the need for words, both of them knew that this date had to end today.

Sigrid remained quiet and said nothing.

It seems that he also hopes that the Holy Son can say nothing.

It's quiet from near to far, with the softly contoured hills and trees and the brightly lit Herrom looming in the night.

Under the phosphorescent starry sky, the dim and vast lake seems to be connected to the sky.

The two of them just enjoyed the night view without saying a word.

I don’t know how long it took.

"Sigrid, I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon."

Lan Qi finally spoke.

"..."

Sigrid remained silent.

"...I remember I said that I will not agree to let you go. You should stay with me and continue to serve me, and I can protect you accordingly."

She turned around and stared at Lanqi, who had already returned to her form as Sigrid, the domineering Catholic.

At this moment, it seemed that she was back to the way she was when they first met. After she took off her disguise, she was an indifferent beauty. She didn't seem to care much about Lan Qi's feelings and only cared about what she wanted.

"I want to go back to the Southern Continent, for at least a year."

Lan Qi said to her.

The Protos Empire needs the Catholic Church. The country has just recovered from a kind of turmoil and is on the right track. Although the deep hostility in the north has been curbed, it may erupt again and surge one day in the future after the brewing is completed.

He Rocky McCarthy retreated behind the scenes and still had a deterrent effect, but the Catholic Church must be in the open. She is now the new protector of the Protos Empire, and she and the great sage Isis jointly protect the stability of the country.

For Lan Qi, correspondingly, there are still hidden dangers in the southern continent, and he needs to solve them, so that the southern continent can be relieved and support the northern continent at any time.

"I don't accept it."

This word of restoring a serious attitude is the only willfulness she insists on now.

"..."

Lan Qi looked at her helplessly and smiled.

Although she said this, it was clear that this week gave him many opportunities to escape.

As long as he escaped earlier, she would definitely not be able to catch up.

"Next time we meet, I will be stronger than the fifth level."

Lan Qi promised.

"..."

When Sigrid heard this, her ears instantly turned red.

"Well, forget it, go if you want to. I'll wait for you at the old place before you leave tomorrow. You still owe me a painting."

She turned sideways, waved her hand angrily, and disappeared in a hurry.

Only Lanqi was left standing by the lake, smiling and watching her leave.
