Poor Xi Xi
Chapter 392 Hyperion's Forehead Began to Sweat
Each of their demonic talent magics possessed miraculous and unique effects.
For other creatures, it would be impossible to master them even with a lifetime of effort.
However, no one, nor any half-demon, had ever appeared who could get them to agree.
Even though the demon race had declined, the former great demons would rather die than become slaves to humans, and there was no possibility of even concluding a contract that favored equality to the greatest extent.
According to the Ice Snow Witch's understanding of these three great demon lords, the Protoss who had previously tried to propose contracts to them were probably all killed in the course of negotiations after entering their cells.
This communication was, in itself, an unforgivable insult to the great demon lords.
The Ice Snow Witch told Hyberia that if she were to meet the Guardian, Antanas, Antanas would not harm her, regardless of whether he agreed to form a contract with her and leave with her.
But the other two were uncertain.
After all, Hyberia was not the cruel, fierce, and powerful Second Princess of the Demon Clan, Ifathia.
She and her mother were too different.
If Lanqi hadn't wanted to control the Great Love Poet's immortal body to communicate with the two great demon lords, Hyberia would never have agreed to Lanqi's adventure.
In any case, they had to quickly pass through the previous levels and then obtain enough to unlock the hidden project service point transactions in the deeper levels.
Hyberia looked back at the three Overlord Priests behind her.
The three of them seemed to still be waiting for the Great Love Poet's orders.
"Listen to Milian's orders."
The Great Love Poet's brief and slightly hoarse voice, coming from under the mask, conveyed the instruction to the three.
"As you command, Lord."
The three answered, all maintaining a certain distance, and then bowed to Hyberia.
They were well aware that regardless of whether that Lord presented a male or female form before them, they were an existence they should never touch, and the fact that that Lord allowed Miss Milian Milford to touch them sufficiently illustrated Milian's status in their Overlord branch, making her worthy of their heartfelt admiration.
"..."
Then the Great Love Poet entered standby mode again, seemingly trusting Hyberia unconditionally, no matter which direction she took her.
The main task of delving into the Herloom Prison had been handed over to Hyberia, and Lanqi would only spare attention when help was needed.
"Don't worry, just focus on your work."
Hyberia grabbed the Great Love Poet's forearm and said to her, they would have a good division of labor, each performing their respective duties.
Although Lanqi's main body wasn't by her side, she now had the feeling that Lanqi had become a true summon, which made her feel particularly at ease.
Hyberia had never seen such a dazed Lanqi, and unexpectedly found it very novel.
Perhaps even the ever-flawless him could be tricked.
However, the task at hand was important, and she couldn't afford to relax in the slightest.
There were several passageways in this hall, and the most obvious one to go to was the Warden's Office on the first basement level directly ahead.
According to the rules of this floor, one had to accept the Warden's commissioned task.
Then Hyberia began to lead the Great Love Poet, following the signs on the first basement level, and proceeded in the direction of their goal.
Everything seemed to be going quite smoothly so far. With the help of the Overlord branch, they had even gone from needing to assemble a random team to having a reliable professional team. She felt that the final step of this rescue mission had been directly reduced from super hell difficulty to advanced difficulty.
Only the obedient appearance of the three teammates behind her made Hyberia a little nervous.
They seemed to really regard her as a superior in the Resurrection Church.
One of the confidentiality principles in the rules for the Goddess of Fate Church's priesthood examination was that, from the start of the task, one must not tell others that they were undergoing the examination.
Once one hinted at their priesthood examination to others in any way, the church's keepsake, the Mark of Fate, would be automatically destroyed.
This was also a major test of a priest's reliability.
Firstly, whether the priest's assistants knew that someone was observing the key nodes of the task wouldn't affect the success rate of the task itself.
Secondly, prohibiting the disclosure of the existence of this examination could prevent insidious examinees from colluding with the enemy, thereby increasing their success rate of infiltrating the enemy through unmentionable cooperative means.
It was because of this rule that the Goddess of Fate Church had successfully caught internal spies. At the time, the other assistants of the Resurrection Church didn't know that their spy was undergoing the examination, and they directly acted according to the style of the Resurrection Church, and were quickly caught red-handed...
In the corridor leading from the transfer hall to the Warden's Office on the first basement level of the prison, Hyberia and her group walked quickly, each person's face appearing somewhat hazy under the dim yellow light, their figures projected onto the ancient stone walls, swaying gently with their steps.
While Hyberia was thinking, the three behind her seemed to have noticed her unease as well.
"Lady Milian, please believe in our loyalty. Even if we need to die for you, we won't hesitate in the slightest. You only need to focus on completing your great mission," the leader said to Hyberia in a deep voice after exchanging glances with the other two.
They were well aware that they couldn't expose their identities as Overlord Priests in the Herloom Prison. Now they had to disguise themselves as three students, but they still hoped that their leader could trust their essence and attitude.
"..."
Hyberia looked back at the fanatical appearance of these three zealots, her expression changing several times in a moment, her trembling lips seeming to tell them, "Stop talking... stop talking..."
She prayed that Lanqi and these three wouldn't do anything too abstract later. Whether or not the examination was approved was a minor matter, but if she was confirmed as an internal spy in the faith examination, she wouldn't be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the sea!
In the high-dimensional viewing space.
A strange feeling made the Chosen Saintess, the High Priest, and the Paladin Captain frown.
Where did the priestess who was participating in the examination find these three fanatics?
Their Goddess of Fate Church generally wouldn't go to this extent.
It wasn't that this attitude and execution weren't good for important tasks.
Rather, the feeling these three people gave was very ominous.
It was as if they had maliciously brainwashed three people who were already loyal to a point of madness, making their original loyalty further become something akin to love, yet chaotic and extremely distorted.
It couldn't be that Almis lightly trusted a big shot in the Resurrection Church and then entrusted such an important task to her, right? If that were the case, then Almis would have to take full responsibility.
Too tired today, I'll take a break and continue adding updates tomorrow.
