Chapter 26 Until the Very Last Moment

Only when Lanqi finished explaining the structure and operation arrangements of the prison did he temporarily put down his pen, giving Hyperion some time to think.

Hyperion looked down at the drawings on the table, pondered for a moment, and nodded seriously to Lanqi, confirming that she had memorized everything.

"Teacher Ice Demoness originally planned to secretly take a Great Demon back to the Kingdom of Asetaylan from the prison on the day of the Bishop election in a week, taking advantage of the distraction, but now it seems we can move it up a bit."

Hyperion exclaimed.

Once she acted in advance and entered the prison, the Ice Demoness would also be aware of it through divine magic.

This change in plan might startle the Ice Demoness, but she should also understand that Hyperion had found a better opportunity and advanced the action.

Entering the prison to rescue the target Great Demon was the final step of the divine duty assessment arranged by the Ice Demoness for Hyperion in the Church of the Goddess of Fate. Once opened, the Ice Demoness would sense it through Hyperion's church token, the Certificate of Fate.

If you want to upgrade the Certificate of Fate to a pink sacred grade that is almost impossible to unbind, and become a truly unquestionable core clergy member, its divine faith assessment will trigger a resonance with several high priest-level existences.

They will act as witnesses and supervisors to confirm the authenticity and validity of the assessment.

Although they cannot interfere or communicate, even the Grand Priest and Paladin Commander far away in the Southern Continent, or the Judicator conquering in the depths of the Land of Disaster in the Far North, have the right to perceive this ritual beyond dimensions through divine magic.

This is also why there are so few high-level betrayals or disagreements in the Church of the Goddess of Fate.

At this level of divine recognition, there is no way to deceive the eyes of the decision-makers of the church by any opportunistic means.

Hyperion's mood was complicated.

Although according to Lanqi's plan, on that day, the direct soldiers of the Batian Branch would disguise themselves as students to assist her, and the decision-makers of the Church of the Goddess of Fate would not be able to see it.

But she felt like she was committing a great crime. This assessment was actually being completed with the help of the Resurrection Church. In terms of behavior, she seemed no different from the internal spies who the Resurrection Church was trying their best to infiltrate into the high-level of the Church of the Goddess of Fate.

"The information about these three Great Demons has long been sealed by the Great Sage Isis of the Empire. Great Demons are a taboo existence for the Protoss Empire. Even I can't find out about them at the moment. Did the Church of the Goddess of Fate tell you their names?"

Lanqi had finished explaining his information, and now it was time to inquire from Hyperion's side.

He heard Hyperion mention that she was entrusted by the Ice Demoness.

Then the Ice Demoness should know these three Great Demons.

"Antanas the Guardian."

"Synola the Breaker of Laws."

"Prahna the Truth-Seeker."

"These three."

Hyperion replied.

The Ice Demoness had also told her a little about the personalities and characteristics of the three Great Demons.

"What do they look like? Can you describe them?"

Lanqi asked.

"..."

Hyperion held her chin, frowned and pondered for a long time, recalling the paintings the Ice Demoness had shown her, and felt like her head was about to split open.

The abstract paintings the Ice Demoness had shown her at the beginning made it completely impossible for her to describe what their characteristics were.

"Take your time, no rush. Gloria, please give me some paper and a pen for drawing."

Lanqi did not urge Hyperion, but turned to his direct soldier Gloria and said.

Gloria immediately went to the study to get Lanqi what he wanted, and also brought an extra footstool and placed it next to Lanqi, so that he could sit on the other side of the coffee table to draw. Then, she put all the spare items that might be needed on the cabinet, so that she would give them to Lanqi at any time as long as he needed them.

Boss Cat looked at Gloria's conscientious appearance, and always felt that she was trying very hard to prove that she was not a burden to her adoptive mother.

Sigrid glanced at the little black cat, but did not speak.

Immediately, the tip of the pen in Lanqi's hand began to move randomly on the paper, and the sound of the pencil rubbing against the paper echoed in the quiet living room.

He had tentatively reviewed a few drafts, with the title of Mysterious Demon Clan, which would appear in a super-difficult dungeon, but he did not know if they were Great Demons.

Based on his impression, this dungeon was somewhat similar to the Helrom Prison in the Imperial City.

The first half of the dungeon was a mechanism dungeon with a recommended level of 67, and the second half was a hidden dungeon with a recommended level of 82, both of which were in an uninstalled state.

While pondering, Lanqi, who was looking down, did not focus on drawing, but just let the brushstrokes flow with his impression, gradually outlining a rough outline on the paper. Although the painting was casual, his brushstrokes were concise and clear, and it didn't take long for the characters to come to life on the paper.

Sigrid stared at Lanqi to pass the time. Lanqi's painting was still as absent-minded as always, and too casual, as if he didn't want to draw properly at all.

This person should be able to draw well, but he just doesn't like to draw.

If he dares to be so perfunctory when he draws her portrait according to the promise in the future, she will definitely not spare the Holy Son.

After more than ten minutes, Lanqi had completed three sketches.

"Are these the three?"

Lanqi picked up the three pages and placed them in front of Hyperion one by one.

One of the three demons in the painting was a short-haired beauty whose temperament fully explained androgyny, and was also the one who looked the most gentle.

One was a quiet lady, with her eyes closed, but with a terrifying sense of oppression.

There was also a handsome man who was dignified and polite. His slender and cold eyes contained a mist, and his smile made people feel cold.

The common point of the three was that they all had the horns, pointed ears and pupils of demons, as well as the indifference from the bottom of their hearts.

"...It seems to be a bit similar to what the teacher painted, but it feels completely like these three demons are not them."

Hyperion stared at the three paintings with confusion.

"Uh... I think what you painted should be right."

Hyperion analyzed for a long time, trying hard to arrange and combine them, and finally matched the three portraits with the names of the three Great Demons.

Sigrid watched Hyperion's distressed appearance silently from the side, and was sure that the Holy Son's painting was too bad.

It can't be that the Ice Demoness can't draw.

"Did the Ice Demoness talk about the strength of the three of them?"

Lanqi asked.

"Uh, according to the five levels of ordinary eighth-order, strong eighth-order, quasi-bishop-level eighth-order, bishop-level eighth-order, and super-bishop-level eighth-order, Antanas the Guardian is probably at the level of ordinary eighth-order to strong eighth-order, Synola the Breaker of Laws is considered strong eighth-order, and Prahna the Truth-Seeker is slightly stronger than Synola the Breaker of Laws, but he has more functions and is not the type for frontal combat."

Hyperion used the power classification method of the Ikrite Academy in the Southern Continent to roughly describe what the Ice Demoness told her about the strength of the three Great Demons.

Sigrid was stunned when she heard this. She thought how could there be so many divisions for the eighth-order, and even she herself didn't know what the bishop-level strength was.

"So the Ice Demoness plans to save Antanas the Guardian? Why is she so sure that Antanas will cooperate with the Church of the Goddess of Fate?"

Lanqi analyzed for a while. According to the characteristics of the Great Demons described by Hyperion, he felt that the Great Demon's loyal ministers Synola the Breaker of Laws and Prahna the Truth-Seeker both had obvious desires and demands. Only Antanas the Guardian was the most like a normal person, and not even that much like a demon. Instead, it was difficult to cooperate with him.

"The teacher told me that Antanas has some origins with my mother. As long as I can see her, I have a way to persuade her to help us."

Hyperion replied.

Hyperion didn't want to explain to the Batian Branch that she was the princess of the Demon Clan, otherwise these guys would report her to the Protoss Empire, and she wouldn't be able to leave even if she wanted to.

Even though Hyperion herself had never met the legendary Aunt Talia, according to the story told by the Ice Demoness, Hyperion was very sure that the Great Demon named Antanas had a really good relationship with her aunt. If they could reunite, they would definitely be very happy.

So after the matter is over, Hyperion and the Ice Demoness will also do their best to help Antanas find Talia and fulfill the transaction promise made by their Church of the Goddess of Fate to this Great Demon.

During this period, Hyperion herself was also quite curious about what kind of demon her aunt was.

Obviously, according to the Ice Demoness's description, Princess Talia was very aloof and indifferent, and there was a thick wall between her and other demons. She would only allow demons she recognized to approach her.

But for some reason, Hyperion felt that Talia in the Ice Demoness's story had a strange sense of intimacy. She was the ideal mother, which fits her fantasy of her mother very well... If one day she could see this Aunt Talia, and she could treat herself kindly, that would be great...
