Poor Xi Xi
Chapter 452 Loren Really Seems To Have Too Many Problems
Inside the magnificent hall of the teleportation center on the sixth basement level, Hyperion sat alone at a table, relaxed and at ease.
A bag of sunflower seeds and a bottle of Snowfield Liquor were on the table, as if she was trying to pass the time.
Hyperion shelled sunflower seeds, occasionally raising her hand to take a small sip of liquor.
The Snowfield Liquor, which would be poisonous to ordinary people, tasted like juice to her, without any reaction.
At first, she just wanted to try what the wine tasted like, but she found that other than being a little spicy and pungent, it was completely sweet water.
If she had known, she wouldn't have bothered Lan Qi; she would have come to drink with the Warden.
The gorgeous chandeliers hanging from the arched ceiling in the hall illuminated her warmly, making her feel that the most pleasant part of the trip to the Protoss Empire was now.
Hyperion didn't pay attention to the surrounding splendor, but focused on the small things in front of her.
Because it was too simple and plain, there wasn't much excitement from completing the mission.
She occasionally gently blew off the sunflower seed shells on her hands, her eyes casually looking into the distance.
Suddenly, her gaze fixed, noticing three figures appearing in the corridor.
Hyperion's movements stopped suddenly, putting down the sunflower seeds and liquor in her hand, her expression becoming serious.
As the figures gradually became clearer, Hyperion could identify Antanas, Xin Nuola, and the last male priest.
The male priest's temperament had become much more restrained, and more in line with his appearance. Obviously, Lan Qi had successfully given the human form prepared for Pulanei to the Great Demon, Pulanei of Truth, whom they needed to rescue.
"You're back."
Hyperion put down the snacks in her hand, stood up, seemingly neither surprised nor expectant at the arrival of the three demon elders.
As for Lan Qi, who was controlling the Great Poet of Love, it was normal for him to be slower because of his slower movement speed.
What's more, normal creatures in this layer were sprinting desperately at the fastest speed, only Lan Qi would stroll leisurely.
Hyperion greeted the three figures who had successfully arrived at the teleportation hall on the sixth basement level.
Among the three Great Demons, Antanas the Guardian and Xin Nuola the Breaker of Laws only had some minor injuries on their faces, which healed quickly at a visible rate, only Pulanei of Truth looked the most injured.
"You're already amazing, brother."
Xin Nuola didn't expect that Pulanei wasn't dragged out half-dead by the Upside Down Road to Rebirth. It seemed that the New King had given her brother a lot of determination.
"Now, for me, perhaps death is not so terrible. What is terrible is failing the New King's expectations."
Pulanei admitted in a deep voice, without concealing his disheveled state.
"?"
Hyperion's eyelids twitched as she listened to their conversation.
How long has it been? How come there's another fanatic Lan Qi follower?
The next second, Pulanei noticed Hyperion, who was also dressed as a trainee prison guard, in the teleportation hall.
He didn't expect that there was another person waiting for them outside.
But since she was with them, she must not be a person either. This trip to Herlom Prison must be an all-demon team.
Hyperion noticed Pulanei's gaze. She had something to say, but she could only hold back her tears.
She didn't dare to say that she was human at this time, fearing that she would be regarded as an enemy by the Great Demons.
"She is our Second Princess, and also the New King's closest friend."
Antanas walked over, hooked her arm around Hyperion's shoulder, and introduced her to Pulanei like a senior.
She was the first to join the group, so she had to emphasize her status to Pulanei.
"...My respects. I am Pulanei, and I am always at Your Highness's disposal."
Pulanei bowed to Hyperion.
He immediately understood what the Second Princess meant. Not only was she Princess Iphatia's daughter, but also the New King's most beloved kin.
"Mr. Pulanei, there's no need. It's great that you were able to escape."
Hyperion waved her hand in a somewhat flustered manner.
An eighth-order Great Demon was being so polite to her, she was completely unused to it!
You know, her teacher, the Ice Witch, was also an eighth-order Great Demon.
Why did the teacher say that Pulanei of Truth was an extremely dangerous demon...
Hyperion felt that Xin Nuola and Pulanei were both very friendly demons...
In the high-dimensional observation space.
The Ice Witch's expression had become one of disbelief as she watched the scene on the ground.
Was Pulanei of Truth this easy to talk to?
If she were to look for Pulanei, she would have to endure an eighth-order magic attack from Pulanei before she could start communicating with him with difficulty.
It wouldn't be to the point where he would be so nice to her just because he heard Hyperion's descendant princess identity, right?
Also, who is Hyperion's close relative - the Demon New King?
The Ice Witch had been watching Hyperion.
The perspective of the priest assessment could only be on the priest. On the fifth and sixth basement levels, Hyperion had been staying outside the prison cell. The Ice Witch didn't know what exactly happened to Xin Nuola and Pulanei in the prison cell.
No matter how abstract Hyperion's human companions were, it was impossible for them to make two Great Demons submit to him in such a short period of time. Could it be... that Talia had been planning the demon restoration in the Southern Continent for a long time?
The Demon New King should be referring to Talia.
The more she thought about it, the deeper the Ice Witch frowned.
She felt like many clues seemed to be connected.
Duke Micah of Hutton Kingdom married Iphatia, the former second princess of the demons. Their daughter and Lan Qi later met in Ikrith Academy and became close friends. The former first princess Talia also happened to come to Ikrith many years later, and was suspected of being involved in a May-December romance. The relationship between her and Lan Qi was also a bit entangled. She would actually help Lan Qi make cards with all her strength and allow him to use her appearance... Perhaps Talia had actually acquiesced to Lan Qi as her agent to help her plan the restoration of the kingdom. Returning to the beginning, Duke Micah was Loring's friend for many years.
Loring doesn't seem to have any direct connection with any key demon figures, but anyone who is related to key demon figures must be related to Loring!
The Great Priest looked more and more like a mastermind behind the scenes.
What is truly despairing is that when this turmoil in the North and South Continents is about to end, the truth is finally unearthed, and everyone welcomes the moment of hope, Loring reveals a strange smile and tells everyone that he was actually planning everything in secret.
The Ice Witch clenched her fists.
Now, she was still short of substantive evidence to characterize Loring. For example, if a mysterious person suspected of being Loring appeared in the Protoss Empire Bishop Election in three days and secretly helped the Revival Church, then she would definitely call on the Chief Inquisitor and convene a special team to go to the Southern Continent to investigate the Great Priest Loring's daily life in Ikrith!
On the other side, Loring had buried his head so low that it disappeared.
He couldn't understand what was going on in Herlom Prison now.
He was just thinking that his ordeal should be coming to an end soon.
