Poor Xi Xi

Chapter 416 Lan Qi's Treatment of Retired and Rehired Employees

After a simple exchange of clothes, Antanas now looked like a trainee prison guard.

"I'm ready."

Although Antanas had transformed into a human before, she had never changed into a disguise she couldn't understand at all through transformation magic.

Next, after leaving the prison, she would probably have to carefully escape in the Protoss Empire until she successfully reached the Kingdom of Aisetheran and received aid from the Ice Witch.

After all, Hiberian's identity was clear—a spy of the Kingdom of Aisetheran. Their identities had some loopholes, and they might be found out at any time.

Moreover, the country of Protoss was full of vigilance and hostility towards the demons. If she didn't remain cautious in everything after returning to the surface, she might be locked up again by accident.

Antanas had already figured it out. Before seeing Talia, no matter how long or difficult the journey ahead, she would go all out to fulfill the contract she had made with the two little princesses.

The Great Poet took the Protoss Royal Magic Academy student wristband from the Overlord Cleric and handed it to Antanas, who had transformed into a human.

"Antanas, your new identity is a citizen of Qinsdun City in the Snowy Plains Province of the Protoss Empire. You are a third-year student at the Protoss Royal Magic Academy. After completing this Herolum prison guard assessment project, you can apply for graduation. Once we return to the base level of the prison, you can retrieve your complete set of documents from the Protoss Empire from the storage."

The Great Poet pointed to the black wristband and said.

"Understood."

Antanas put on the wristband and nodded in confirmation.

She didn't expect her identity to be prepared so perfectly, and she didn't know how long this fake identity could deceive the Protoss Empire.

"After that, the Protoss Royal Magic Academy will specially hire you as a senior professor, working four days a week and resting for three days. There is also work on the church side, but that is another salary, paid separately. You can spend the rest of your time learning about modern life in the capital, Herolum. Can you accept this arrangement before we leave the Northern Continent?"

The Great Poet continued to add.

"..."

Antanas looked at the Great Poet in confusion.

Were they still going to live in the Protoss Empire?

"Won't my fake identity be exposed?"

Antanas asked.

"These are all genuine, whether it's your household registration or your student status. They were all handled personally by the governor of the province and the principal of the academy."

The Great Poet explained.

"?"

Antanas was stunned.

She didn't recover for a long time.

During the time she stayed in prison, to what extent did the two demon princesses erode the inside of the Protoss Empire? They actually had such connections and power, allowing her, a great demon prisoner, to openly integrate into the capital, Herolum, and live a relaxed and free life?

What kind of sweet poison was this?

Enjoy it for a while, and then return to the Southern Continent with the two of them, and she would be able to see Talia smoothly?

"Is this really reality?"

Antanas shook her head, as if confirming that this was reality, not the [Fallen Gentle Village] magic.

She now suddenly realized that this reality seemed a bit unreal no matter how she looked at it.

"When you are in the [Fallen Gentle Village], you will not realize that you have been hit by an illusion."

The Great Poet reminded helplessly.

It was like when you realize you are dreaming, you are basically about to wake up.

"So... this is really reality..."

A trace of disbelief flashed in Antanas's eyes, and then joy filled her pupils.

A bright smile gradually formed on her lips, a smile that seemed to illuminate the entire room.

Then, she took a deep breath, wanting to absorb all the happiness of this moment into her heart.

"Thank you, you are the pride of our demons. I will do my best to protect you to repay this kindness."

Antanas sincerely thanked the descendants of her two relatives and friends.

"..."

Hiberian felt Antanas's inexplicably reverent gaze, but didn't want to deny anything. She only felt that her human rights seemed to have been confiscated along with Lan Qi.

She wanted to be a noble human cleric, not a chosen demon princess…

"Let's go."

The conversation in the cell was completely settled, and Lan Qi also took Antanas and Hiberian out of the special cell.

When they walked out of the cell, they chatted casually, as if they had formed some kind of tacit understanding in this short exchange.

Outside the door, the other two clerics who had been waiting immediately saluted them when they saw them coming out.

Even though the female cleric, who was their companion, had not changed in appearance in any way, they all understood that the being under the appearance of this female cleric was a legendary eighth-order great demon.

Antanas also nodded to them.

She was very clear that these two humans were also their companions now, and there was a strong feeling of being controlled by the little princess.

"The matter has been settled, we can go to the fifth sub-level."

The Great Poet said to the two clerics, her voice filled with satisfaction.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

The Overlord Cleric responded.

Just as Antanas was about to communicate with them about how to cooperate to pass through the [Fallen Gentle Village] and move forward, she saw the figure with black hair and green eyes stepping out without any precaution.

And the others were standing in place, with no intention of helping the Great Poet.

After a while, the Great Poet woke up and continued to step forward, triggering the illusion on the next large floor space.

Hiberian and the Overlord Cleric naturally followed the road that had been opened.

Only Antanas looked on with disbelief—someone could ignore the [Fallen Gentle Village] like this and pave the way in front.

"No way... how is this guy's brain structured? This is a great demon trial."

Antanas murmured to herself.

She couldn't help but sigh that she was indeed Talia's bloodline.

But thinking about it carefully, Talia didn't have this talent, it must be that she found a powerful husband and optimized the bloodline.

Antanas became more and more curious about what kind of existence Talia's man was.

Although Antanas still had some conditioned reflexes of vigilance towards the corridor environment on the fourth sub-level, she quickly recognized the situation and quietly followed Hiberian.

The group walked through the winding corridor and finally returned to the exit transfer hall.

The deep purple mirror portal stood at the end of the steps. At this moment, it sensed their wristbands and emitted a twisted light accompanied by the sound of electric cocoons, obviously indicating that they had met the conditions to go to the fifth sub-level.

"Everyone be careful. If we get separated later, let's try to gather in the exit transfer hall."

Looking at the danger warning on the portal, the Great Poet said to everyone.

The space on the fifth sub-level was not stable. The portal might not send them to the entrance transfer hall, but might appear anywhere on the fifth level.
