NOVPUBIn the grand hall of the teleportation lobby on the minus sixth floor, Hyperion sat by herself at the table, casual and relaxed.
A bag of melon seeds and a bottle of Xue Yuan Liquor were placed on the table, as she seemed to be trying to pass the time.
Hyperion cracked open melon seeds while occasionally taking a small sip of the strong liquor.
The Xue Yuan Liquor, which could be considered poison for ordinary people, tasted like fruit juice to her, without eliciting any reaction.
Initially, she had just wanted to try what the liquor tasted like. However, beyond being a little spicy and causing her nose to sting, it was simply sweet.
If she had known in advance, she wouldn’t have bothered Lanci and would have simply had a drink with the prison governor.
The grand chandelier hanging from the arched ceiling of the hall bathed her in warm light, making this moment of her journey to the Protoss Empire feel like the most comfortable one yet.
Hyperion wasn’t concerned about the grandeur around her, focusing only on the small task at hand.
The simplicity and monotony of it all made the sense of accomplishing missions less exhilarating than before.
She occasionally blew away the melon seed shells in her hand and gazed unintentionally at the distance.
Suddenly, her gaze fixed, noticing the appearance of three figures in the hallway.
Hyperion immediately stopped her actions, put down the melon seeds and the liquor in her hand, her expression turning serious.
As the figures gradually became clear, Hyperion recognized them as Antanas, Sinola, and the last male Priest.
The demeanor of the male Priest had become much more introverted, matching his appearance, making it obvious that the human form Lanci had prepared for Pranay, the True Pullane of the Great Demon Clan, had been successfully handed over to him whom they needed to rescue last.
"You guys are back."
Hyperion put down her snacks, stood up, seemingly not surprised but somewhat expectant of the arrival of the three demons.
Considering the slow speed of Great Love Poet controlled by Lanci, it was normal to fall behind them.
Moreover, normal beings on this floor would be speeding to death, only Lanci would be strolling.
Hyperion greeted the three figures who had successfully arrived at the teleportation lobby on the sixth level below.
Among the three great demons, Guardian Antanas and Law Breaker Sinola bore minor injuries on their faces which healed rapidly, but Truth Pullane seemed to be seriously injured.
"You’ve done very well, brother."
Sinola didn’t expect Pranay to be dragged out of [The Inverted Path of Rebirth] just half dead, it seems like the New King gave a lot of strength to her brother.
"For me right now, death may not be so terrifying. What scares me is failing to meet the New King’s expectations."
Pranay admitted in a low voice, without trying to hide his dire straits.
"?"
Hyperion twitched her eyes listening to their conversation.
How long has it been, and yet another fanatic is a member of Lanci’s clan?
The next second, Pranay noticed Hyperion, who was also dressed as a probationary prison officer, in the teleportation hall.
He didn’t expect someone else to be waiting for them outside.
But since she would stay with them, she must not be an ordinary person; their mission to Herram Prison must undoubtedly be made up of an all-demon team.
Hyperion noticed Pranay’s gaze. She couldn’t say anything, only holding back tears.
At this moment, she didn’t dare to say that she was a human, fearful that the great demons would treat her as the enemy.
"She’s our Second Princess, and the close friend of the New King."
Antanas walked over, casually draped his arm over Hyperion’s shoulder, and introduced her to Pranay like an elder would.
She was the first to join, and she wanted to assert her status to Pranay.
"...Excuse me, I am Pranay, ready to serve your Highness at any time."
Pranay bowed to Hyperion.
He suddenly understood what the Second Princess meant, not only the daughter of Princess Isatia but also the favorite sibling of the New King.
"Mr. Pranay, there’s no need, it’s good enough that you escaped."
Hyperion waved her hands in a fluster.
An eighth-order great demon being so polite to her left her at a loss!
Remember, her teacher, the Bingxue Witch, is also an eighth-order great demon.
Why did her teacher say Truth Pullane is an extremely dangerous demon...
Hyperion felt that both Sinola and Pranay seemed like pretty friendly demons...
In the high-dimensional observation space.
The Bingxue Witch’s expression had turned doubtful as she watched the scene on the ground.
Is the Truth Pullane really that persuasive?
If she were to confront Pranay, she would first have to endure an eighth-order magic spell from him before she could start to communicate with difficulty.
It couldn’t be that just hearing about the princess descendant of Hyperion he treated her so well.
On another note, what is Hyperion’s relative – the New King of Demons?
The Bingxue Witch kept her eyes on Hyperion.
The vision of the priest examination should only rest on the priest. Hyperion had been waiting outside the prison cell since the negative fifth and sixth level, so she didn’t know what exactly happened to Sinola and Pranay inside.
No matter how abstract Hyperion’s human companions were, it’s not possible for two great demons to swear allegiance to him in this short while... Could it be... Talia has been planning for the resurrection of the Demon Race in the South Continent for a long time?
New King of the Demon Race should be referring to Talia.
As she continued to think, the Bingxue Witch’s frown deepened.
She felt like many clues seemed to connect.
Duke Migaya of Hutton Kingdom married Isatia, the former second princess of the Demon race, and their daughter and Lanci later met at Ichrite Academy and became best friends. The former first princess, Talia, coincidentally arrived at Ichrite many years later and was suspected of having a May-December relationship... Maybe Talia has allowed Lanci as her representative to plan for the restoration of the Demon Kingdom. Going back to the start, Duke Migaya is Loren’s old friend.
It seems like Loren doesn’t directly link with any core figures of the Demon Race, but anyone related to the core figures of the Demon Race would certainly be related to Loren!
The more she looked at it, the more Loren seemed to be the mastermind.
The truly despairing aspect is that when the upheaval of the North and South Continent is about to end, all the truths have been finally dredged up, and everyone is greeting hope, Loren reveals a strange smile, telling everyone that actually, he planned everything.
The Bingxue Witch clenched her fists.
Now what is needed is some concrete evidence to define Loren’s actions. For instance, if a mysterious person suspected to be Loren appears at the bishop selection in the Protoss Empire in three days, secretly assisting the Rebirth Church, she would call the Judgment Chief and form a special investigation team to go to the South Continent and thoroughly investigate High Priest Loren’s daily life at Ichrite!
On the other side, Loren was almost burying his head in the sand.
He couldn’t understand what was happening in the messy Herram Prison.
He just thought that his tribulations were about to end.
