Antanas watched the emotion flickering in Pranai's eyes, feeling that Pranai's heart had already been moved.

Pranai's pupils shimmered with an unspeakable light, a first encounter with a gift of fate in a long time.

"Pranai, look at me, what you're afraid of isn't dying, but achieving nothing, afraid of dying without value, afraid of repeating failures, afraid of continuing to live aimlessly. When you took the initiative to explain your thoughts to me for your sister, you were very brave, weren't you?"

The Great Love Poet was still comforting Pranai.

"Other demons just don't understand you, that's why they misunderstand you, but I believe what I see with my own eyes. They have never communicated with you so seriously, so they haven't discovered your correctness and their mistakes."

The deep words and the look in his eyes seemed to be telling Pranai that one day, everyone will leave and go to their place of belonging.

It was also like asking him, you have been in pain all along, it has been very difficult for you, hasn't it? What do you want, what do you want to become, I will help you achieve it, so tell me what is in your heart.

"..."

Pranai gazed at the new king, but couldn't speak for a long time.

Perhaps it was a moment of impulsiveness that made him unlike himself, to break his centuries-old code of conduct.

He didn't know if he would make a serious misjudgment now.

But he felt that since he had been so wrong before, why couldn't he take a gamble and trust his intuition once?

The gods have never favored any living being.

Only living beings can love living beings.

And only living beings can save the souls of living beings.

This was a perfect demon king he had longed for, and he would never have another chance if he missed it.

"I will follow you."

Mist filled Pranai's mouth, and he stood up from the cold stone platform, then knelt on one knee in front of the Great Love Poet, waiting quietly.

He was waiting for the new king to conclude the contract of the Heluo Prison with him.

"No need, I don't need your loyalty, let alone your life. I came here just to return your freedom to you, not to add another lock for you."

The Great Love Poet gently supported Pranai's arms, helped him up, and looked at him with a smile.

"...Thank you."

Pranai lowered his eyes, the price was so light that he couldn't bear it, and he could only repay the other party with sincerity.

"..."

Antanas's eyes twitched as she watched from a distance.

Stop trying to raise his favorability, this is almost becoming mind control.

Antanas really wanted to say that to the new king.

She had just finished watching the new king subdue Xin Nuola on the fifth floor, and now watching the new king turn Pranai into a believer in just a few minutes, she couldn't imagine what she could turn the group of humans on the ground into if she gave the new king a chance to preach in Heluo.

Just like that.

The Great Love Poet patted Pranai on the back and led him off the stone platform like an old friend after a long absence.

"But I have one question. Pranai, why do you think that two general-level combat powers are the ticket to this imperial dispute?"

The Great Love Poet tilted his head in confusion and asked Pranai.

In fact, Lan Qi agreed with Pranai's views, and the only major deviation between him and Pranai's judgment lay here.

"Let me tell you! It's like this, Pranai saw the northern border of the Protos Empire some time ago..."

Antanas raised her hand and took a step forward, came to the Great Love Poet, and told the Great Love Poet what Pranai had told them before.

When Antanas finished repeating what Pranai had said like a repeater.

"..."

The Great Love Poet with black hair and green eyes stared at Pranai strangely.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, I'm still afraid even now. The closer I get to the truth, the more uneasy I become."

Pranai looked into the new king's eyes and said.

His talent for magic always allowed him to get closer to the truth faster, the future that made him constantly think about but was also afraid of.

It wasn't intentional offense, but he really wanted to know whether the new king would still insist on staying in the Protos Empire or make new policy changes after learning about this fact.

But no matter how the new king chose, he would follow her to the end.

"..."

Antanas and Xin Nuola didn't understand why the new king had this expression. The new king didn't answer Pranai's questions for a while.

Originally, I thought that the king's expression would be more dignified, or simply calm without any waves, but I didn't expect that the king was also a little confused now, with question marks seemingly falling on his head.

"Sigh."

The Great Love Poet shook his head and sighed.

He took out a stack of magic cards and swiped them quickly in front of Pranai like shuffling cards.

"Pranai, did you see a card?"

The Great Love Poet looked into Pranai's eyes and asked.

"Yes."

Pranai nodded.

There were various cards, but only one orange card, the rank and card illustration looked particularly clear.

"Did you remember a card?"

The Great Love Poet shuffled the cards in his hand and asked.

"Yes."

Pranai replied.

"Is the card you remembered here?"

The Great Love Poet opened the stack of magic cards like a folding fan and asked Pranai again.

"No."

Pranai shook his head.

The extremely conspicuous magic card disappeared inexplicably.

The Great Love Poet looked at Pranai with a smile.

"That's because you're too close..."

The Great Love Poet said, echoing in Pranai's ears like the whisper of an angel,

"The closer you get—the less you see the truth."

The Great Love Poet raised his hand and threw the stack of magic cards backward. Among the semi-transparent magic cards scattered all over the sky, only the last orange magic card hidden among them was particularly conspicuous, and it shattered in mid-air.

Its unique texture made it look both illusory and ethereal, and the flow of the patterns on the card seemed to be a living heartbeat, as if suspended on the edge of the entity and the non-entity.

The magic card suddenly became dazzling.

Its entangled spirals separated as the power was released, condensing into a huge vortex.

The rune light around the Frost Prison was distorted, pulled, and even torn apart by the vortex.

After the vortex quickly stabilized, a crack opened in the center, revealing its true form - a huge wolf, surrounded by scarlet runes like space-time fault lines, wandering on its dark and deep body.

The red lines on its body were like the power of creation, each line flashing and breathing, as if connecting to another dimension.

"...!!!"

Pranai widened his eyes, his pupils trembling as he looked at the giant wolf.

Clearly that day... what he saw was a mysterious man on the northern snowfield summoning this terrifying wolf, ending everything in a滔天的white fire!

He would never mistake this wolf. Why did this wolf appear here?

"Don't worry, it's a friendly."

The Great Love Poet patted Pranai on the shoulder and grinned.

Just now it wasn't magic, just a little magic trick to hide the Nuclear Fusion Wolf.

Pranai's eyes could see through magic, but not this kind of trick.

"You actually..."

Pranai felt for the first time that his eyes were not necessarily so reliable, but he couldn't take his eyes off him.

Full of fascination with this new king whose true identity was unknown.

Past experience and his own talent for magic could be wrong, but only the intuition in his heart at this moment made him unable to resist.

"Let's talk later, I have some things I want to discuss with the three of you in detail after I get out of prison. What we need to do now is to leave this prison as soon as possible."

The Great Love Poet replied casually.

Aside.

"..."

Antanas felt that Pranai had completely fallen.

She shook her head.

The new king was truly a deeply sinful female demon.

But why did the new king still say that he would let them see his true form later...

Wasn't the gray-haired and blue-eyed appearance not real enough?
