Ikrit Opera House, the multi-functional performing arts center of Hutton Kingdom's capital, is one of the most famous and iconic buildings in the Southern Continent.

It is located near Ikrit's moat and the Yara River Port Bridge, designed a century ago by the craftsman Jera. It includes a series of starry night-like banded roof structures, shaped like the sails of a sailboat, sitting on a huge blue granite base, as if about to set sail into the starry sky.

This afternoon.

The Ikrit City Symphony Orchestra is holding a large performance here.

[The time is almost three o'clock, the time you agreed to meet the Paladin Captain. The Ice Witch has also tried to contact you several times. This performance is about to end. Don't move yet. When the next piece starts, and Juliana is a little engrossed, try not to attract her attention. Just signal that you're going to leave for a moment, and then get up and leave immediately to the meeting place in Destiny Goddess Square.]

On the grand stage, a symphony concert is attracting the audience's ears with its unique magic.

At this moment, gorgeous lights fall like stars, illuminating the entire concert hall and turning it into a dreamlike universe.

Sitting in the stands, Lorenn heard the Love Instructor's voice in his ear.

He immediately nodded slightly.

[This opera house is not only an iconic tourist destination, but also a busy performing arts center, with multiple performance spaces, including an opera house, concert hall, theater, and multi-function hall, hosting various performances including operas, concerts, dramas, and dances. Be sure to follow the route I taught you. Without violating the city's public security magic usage regulations, the fastest speed is about two minutes to reach your destination.]

The Love Instructor continued.

Lorenn felt that if he were a girl, he might fall in love with someone like the Love Instructor.

He was too reassuring.

He would even control the navigation for him throughout the entire process.

Clang!

When the last note slowly landed in the air, the entire concert hall fell into a brief silence, and then, like a tide, applause thundered throughout the opera house.

Lorenn knew that the time the instructor spoke of should also be approaching.

Soon, on the stage directly opposite, the members of the orchestra settled into their respective positions, from the violinists to the cellists, the flutists and horn players, each musician was completely focused and ready to receive the conductor's signal.

Dressed in a formal black tailcoat, the old gentleman stood in the center of the stage, his back elongated by the stage lights, his arms waving with the rise and fall of the music, directing the flow and change of the new round of performance music.

The music slowly kicked off, the melodious sound of the violin was like the first ray of sunshine in the morning mist, gentle and bright, then the brass instruments joined in, adding a majestic color to the musical picture, the sound of the woodwind instruments was like a breeze through the forest, gentle and agile, the cello and double bass were like the deep sea, adding a deep and broad foundation to the melody, the melody played by the entire orchestra together, turned into surging waves, one wave after another, pushing towards the audience.

Immersed in this musical feast, many audience members closed their eyes to listen, or focused on appreciating the performers on stage.

"Juliana, I'm sorry, I need to go to the restroom."

Lorenn leaned slightly and whispered to his female companion next to him, his tone full of apology.

His eyes carried a slight uneasiness, as if he was worried about disturbing this short and peaceful beautiful time.

Juliana smiled and nodded slightly after hearing this.

Immediately.

Lorenn got up gently and carefully passed through the seats, avoiding affecting other audience members.

Leaving the concert hall, he quickly walked through the opera house corridor, appearing a little hurried, but still polite.

When passing through a door, his figure disappeared like a phantom.

When Lorenn reappeared in this city, he was already on the other side of the river bridge near the opera house, on the stone slab road of the riverside park.

[You can probably disappear for twenty minutes. Any longer, and Juliana might start to feel uneasy. Paladin Captain Florence and the Ice Witch Almis, I suggest you allocate about ten minutes to each of them. I'll remind you when the time is almost up.]

Lorenn listened to the Love Instructor's voice as he hurried to his destination.

"Okay, thank you, Instructor."

After leaving Juliana's side, he could also speak freely to the Love Instructor through the magical ear mic.

Although he felt a little guilty, the Love Instructor said it was okay, so it should be okay.

At least he wasn't dating three girls at the same time.

The Paladin Captain was male, and the Ice Witch was a colleague.

[Don't worry about anything. This is an excellent time management skill. Only by mastering this ability can you better balance work and life, and at the same time satisfy as many people around you as possible. You really need to learn and master it.]

"I understand."

Lorenn walked through a grove of trees in the plaza park.

This area was all places that Lorenn usually might pass by when working at the Church of the Goddess of Destiny. At this point, even without the help of the Love Instructor, he knew how to get there the fastest.

The view opened up again.

Lorenn saw the edge of a wide temple square, the afternoon sun shining on a handsome young man, who was carrying a shoulder bag and leaning against a bench, leisurely looking at the sky, seemingly waiting for someone.

His pear wood-colored soft hair seemed to be plated with a layer of golden luster by the afternoon sun, gently swaying in the wind.

As if sensing Lorenn's approach, the young man slowly turned his head, his confused eyes quickly filled with friendliness.

Lorenn immediately came to the young man's front.

Paladin Captain Florence was younger than he had imagined, and his figure under the armor was not tall.

Of course, some people were born with a youthful appearance, and even at thirty years old, they looked like teenagers.

"You are, Florence?"

Lorenn asked uncertainly.

It was the first time he had seen the Paladin Captain without his armor.

But the undisguised aura and magic on the other person made Lorenn all too familiar with him.

"Of course, who else would it be besides me? Dear friend."

The pear wood-haired handsome young man smiled and tilted his head.

"Florence, it's been several years. I've finally seen you."

Lorenn immediately felt memories rush to his heart, and stepped forward to give his close friend a firm hug.

[Wo Cao, don't!]

The Love Instructor didn't even have time to speak before his voice stopped abruptly.

As if realizing that the problem could no longer be stopped, the Love Instructor stopped talking.

"Uh!"

Florence was stunned as Lorenn hugged him.

"Last time in the Broken Sky City subjugation battle, I really thought I would almost never see you again."

Lorenn closed his eyes and said with particularly guilty self-reproach.
