The corridor twisted and turned, the spell sigils on the walls on either side emitting a hazy light that provided only the most basic illumination.

These corridors on the fifth basement level seemed endless. The shadows of the group flickered across the walls and disappeared in an instant.

With Antanas leading the way, and as a prison guard possessing a map, they had already set off on the best route from the moment they started.

It wasn't until the group had sprinted with all their might to the exit transfer hall that Hyperion finally breathed a sigh of relief and steadily placed the Great Poet back on the ground.

She didn't dare let go for a long time, afraid that the Great Poet would fall again.

Antanas, having run into the safe zone, began to slack off. She felt there was basically nothing for her to do.

A strange confidence.

She felt that the only time she might be needed would be when she went down to the sixth basement level and talked to the Truth of Pranai. She might have to enter the cell with the New King and act as a guard.

"I have finally come to this place one day."

Synola stood calmly in the transfer hall and said to Antanas, a hint of relief after surviving a disaster on her face.

Synola was actually more afraid of the New King's phantom than her own. She couldn't imagine how unsolvable the New King's phantom would be. It might kill her in one encounter.

She looked ahead.

The void transfer gate, a deep purple mirror surface rippling with waves, stood on the steps at the end of the transfer hall.

The transfer gate had no danger warning, indicating that the space on the sixth basement level was relatively stable.

It was useless to come here before.

Because she didn't have permission to use the void transfer gate.

But now she was already a formal member of the Protoss Empire, and she could walk out openly later, giving her a sense of security.

However, Synola didn't know why the New King had been silent since arriving here.

The King must be deep in thought.

Although the Herloom Prison had been penetrated by the New King for five levels in a row, he wouldn't be absent-minded and completely despise this Herloom Prison, would he?

After all, in addition to the warden on each level, there was also a troublesome Chief Warden in this Herloom Prison. The final and most difficult hurdle was still the Chief Warden. When leaving Herloom Prison, they must not let the Chief Warden see any flaws.

After a long time.

"..."

The Great Poet came back to his senses. Obviously, when Hyperion was carrying him and running just now, he had made full use of the time to talk a lot with Warden Bakas of the Protoss Royal Magic Academy on the other side.

Now his attention returned to the Herloom Prison again.

"Can you tell me about Pranai?"

The Great Poet looked at Synola and asked.

Before heading to the final sixth basement level, Lanqi decided to ask Synola the Breaker about the Truth of Pranai.

Because the last level had been confirmed to be the Great Demon Pranai of Truth, and Lanqi had long heard the information about the Ice Witch that Hyperion had said—Synola the Breaker was the most familiar with the Truth of Pranai.

The Ice Witch believed that Pranai was a difficult and uncontrollable demon, but Lanqi didn't understand why.

"Pranai is my brother. We both came from a prestigious family in the Demon Realm, but compared to fighting, he prefers to study ancient ruins and ethics of the Demon Realm. He believes that war is risky and will destroy the culture and art of the Demon Realm for many years, and he strongly advocates investigating whether there are hidden masterminds behind that war. However, he was uniformly regarded by other militant factions as cowardly and afraid of fighting, disrupting military morale."

Synola said helplessly.

Her brother was the real conservative. Even she had taken action more times than her brother.

"Isn't your brother's questioning very reasonable? Why doesn't anyone listen?"

Lanqi felt that it was rare for the demons to have such a rational and wise man.

As the only true demon civil servant and scholar among the eighth-order great demons, his advice should be very informative.

Looking back at that Holy War from now, the demons' motivation to take the initiative to start the war, as well as the many unexplained twists and turns in the process, have many gaps.

Regardless of the specific factors, judging from the result of the demons' defeat, Pranai was indeed more correct.

"Because my brother is too cautious. He would rather run away than fight a battle that is not 100% sure of winning. Everyone knew his character back then. It's true that he was cowardly and afraid of fighting and disrupted military morale. He wasn't wronged."

"..."

Lanqi and Hyperion looked at each other, feeling like they had a bone stuck in their throats.

Your old demon world really has gold content.

The demon stage is big, don't come if you don't have the talent.

"Pranai believes that since the demons occupy an absolute advantage and time, if they really want to conquer humans, they should first learn to understand humans, and slowly erode human society by integrating into human society and living with them in symbiosis. This is also the content he interpreted from the ancient ruins of the demons, and the conclusion he reached."

Synola sighed and continued, as if regretting that Pranai was born in the wrong era. His thoughts actually coincided with the New King's.

"However, not every demon is as patient as Pranai. This violates the nature of the demons. They can't stand being so slow."

Perhaps the New King could listen to what Pranai said, but with the New King's wisdom and ability, he didn't need Pranai as a counselor.

"What is your brother's talent magic?"

Lanqi now felt that the Ice Witch's information was quite abstract.

Whenever he asked Hyperion "What specific information did the Ice Witch tell you about the great demons?", Hyperion's answer was two things she didn't know—

She didn't know this, and she didn't know that either.

"He can see through falsehoods. Any magical disguise has no effect on him, and he can slightly predict his opponent's movements in battle."

Synola replied.

Just as she was about to explain further, she found that the New King had already begun to think, and it seemed that the New King himself knew this kind of talent magic, so she didn't plan to say more.

After a while.

"It's a pity that your brother lacked some growth time. If he could have grown to the ninth rank, the Holy War might not have happened back then."

The Great Poet sighed.

Somewhat similar to the blood clan authority [Blood True Eye] held by the blood clan baron who came to inspect the Purgatory Corridor Academy, Pranai was not at the point of being able to see through even the soul, but Pranai's talent magic could still evolve.

If space is specialized, it will become clairvoyance, and if time is specialized, it will be future sight.

Clairvoyance will be more accurate and can detect changes in the territory at the first time, while future vision is one step further, but it cannot affect the ninth rank and will interfere with other prophets, and it is not as accurate as clairvoyance.

If Pranai chose the direction of clairvoyance, it is likely that even in prison he could see some major events in the far reaches of the Protoss Empire on the ground.

And the prototype of future vision would also have some fragments, but they might not be very accurate.

"..."

Synola stared at the New King. She was very touched that the New King valued their siblings so much. After all, they were not very popular back then.

"When I see my brother later, I'll help you talk to him. Talia and Ifathia haven't forgotten us. I'm really gratified."

The Synola siblings were once both in important rear positions in the Demon King's City and didn't have much contact with the generals on the front lines. Instead, they were more familiar with the Demon royal family.

Among the great demons who survived in the end, it is estimated that only the two princesses listened to Pranai's words.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

Lanqi was secretly glad that he had helped Talia rescue her demon friends.

Everyone hasn't forgotten her.

After resolving the final dispute in the Northern Continent, Lanqi must take Talia's friends home! Have a good year!
