Chapter 628 Lanqi Doesn’t Believe that It Will Explode One Day

The clock on the clock tower on one side of the Temple Square is just past three o'clock.

The slightly hot afternoon sun in the summer of Ikerite cast a glow on the ancient gray slate floor. Under the protection of the statues of the gods, there were several huge oak trees growing around the square. Their lush branches and leaves provided light for the sides of the square. A place of cool comfort.

The door of the temple is half open, and the carved doorposts are covered with spreading green vines, as if witnesses of history are quietly guarding this holy place.

Although the two people under the big tree did not need too many words, the previous hug was enough to express their longing for them for many years and the joy of reunion.

But once the conversation started, it seemed like it couldn't stop.

From interesting anecdotes from the past to recent developments, accompanied by Loren's telling and Florence's chuckle.

In the blink of an eye, it seems like this moment lasts forever.

[Pay attention to the time. 】

The voice of the love instructor came.

"..."

When Loren heard this, he suddenly realized something as if he was waking up from a dream.

"Florence, I have to go back to the temple. Artemis has called me several times!"

Loren said with some apology.

Although he still wanted to continue chatting with his best friend, he no longer had time.

"Oh, go ahead."

Florence smiled understandingly and shook her hand.

She already knew that Loren was very busy lately.

And when he saw that Loren was in good condition, he felt relieved.

"Be careful not to be too tired, and if you feel you want to talk to someone, you can contact me at any time. No matter how you feel, I will be your partner."

Florence added kindly.

"Florence..."

Loren looked at Florence, his eyes full of emotion,

"If I could, I wish I could stay with you every day. You are really my soul friend."

He reluctantly shook his head, regretting that he could only spend so little time with his best friend.

"Is this so..."

Florence lowered her eyebrows and looked away.

Her reaction stunned Loren, who looked at her in confusion.

As if feeling Loren's gaze, Florence raised her head again, grinned and patted Loren's shoulder, as if urging him to leave.

"Go to work, come on!"

Florence said.

"Um."

Loren nodded, said goodbye to Florence, and headed towards the Temple of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny located beside the moat.

In less than a moment, as his figure flashed several times, this ethereal palace, which had been forged by thousands of years of faith, appeared before his eyes.

In the hinterland of the northern district of Icerite, beside a clear river surrounded by woods, stands a magnificent temple. It is also the base of the church where Loren often visits in addition to Icerite Academy.

Just follow the instructor's instructions and tell Florence and Artemis the truth.

When I said goodbye to Florence, I went to work, and when I said goodbye to Artemis, I went to rest, without any lies.

His steps passed through the palace gate.

When the hot natural light shines on the white relief from the window lattice, the images of gods in various shapes seem to flicker, giving him the illusion that they are performing ancient legends.

"Instructor, is there still enough time?"

Loren felt that the light was a bit dazzling, maybe he was a little guilty, he concentrated again, walked towards the inside of the temple, and asked.

[Time is no problem. 】

"Then what's the problem?"

Loren asked nervously.

From what the instructor meant, there might be something left unsaid.

[Do you still remember what you promised Florence, "When you are not busy next time, we will be together again"? 】

"Um."

[Do you think this is a date agreement? 】

"It doesn't matter. It's normal to hang out with good friends."

[It’s okay, try your best next time. 】

The love instructor's self-talk seemed to have a sense of mission, but he also seemed to have something he couldn't say.

"What's the meaning?"

Although Loren trusted the love instructor, he still couldn't help but feel panicked.

Could it be that I made some omissions but didn't realize it?

Just like studying, if you make a mistake but don't know where you went wrong, it will be difficult to improve and make progress.

[Nothing, you are very talented, even beyond my imagination. The seemingly simple normal attacks actually all have armor piercing and critical hits. Just follow your own feelings. Follow me and learn them all, but it may be delayed. Your own talents. 】

[I will help you settle everything, so you can go on a date with peace of mind. Unless something happens to me one day, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you. 】

The love instructor is full of firm assurances.

"Instructor..."

Loren said movedly to the other end of the communication.

He walked through the solemn and quiet space deep in the temple. Pure white stone pillars stood majestically in the hall. The further inside he walked, the clearer his own footsteps became.

When Loren came to the huge door of the temple's confidential room, he seemed to be standing on the threshold of another world.

He knocked lightly on the door made of pure white jade and deep gray stone.

"please."

What came from the door was a soft voice like the first frost in winter.

Loren pushed open the heavy stone door. What he saw in front of him was an office with a high ceiling like a cathedral. The white brick grooves on the surrounding walls were filled with classics from the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.

In the meeting area in the center of the church, a woman with silver hair and silver eyes sat quietly on the sofa. Even at noon, her figure was as pure and flawless as an elf under the moonlight.

If she wasn't still breathing, it would be hard to prove whether she was a living being or a work of art.

"Sorry, I took a break this morning. I'm really sorry for not replying to your message."

Loren bowed to the Ice Witch and apologized.

As a half-demon, the Chosen Saint Artemis did not have demonic horns. The only demonic feature was her slightly pointed ears.

She was more like a pure and flawless snow elf, not a demon as people say.

Although there was only inviolable arrogance and indifference in her eyes, almost isolating all living beings from afar, there was also a touch of kindness hidden under that appearance.

Loren saw that the Ice Witch was not busy working at this time, and there was a cup of steaming tea on the table. His hanging heart was a little relieved. At least the Ice Witch was not looking for him for work today.

"How does it feel to hug Florence?"

The cold voice of the Ice Witch sounded in front of Loren.

He looked up and found that the Ice Witch had stood up from the sofa. When he met her gaze, he felt a disgust that was difficult to hide.

Loren felt a chill on his spine instantly.

No.

What was wrong with him hugging Florence.

Is this action of a boy considered strange by the Ice Witch?

"It feels good."

Loren answered confidently.

"..."

The Ice Witch's eyes suddenly became more complicated.

Was her understanding of humans wrong, or did Loren really think that women could be hugged casually?
