Chapter 251: Hyperion's Life Story
Hyperion sat on the sofa in front of the long table with low legs in the middle of the hall, staring at the saint in front of her and the mural behind her in silence for a while.
In this ethereal hall that was forged by thousands of years of faith, when the faint natural light shone through the window lattices onto the white reliefs, the portraits of gods in various shapes seemed to flicker, giving her the illusion that they were performing ancient legends.
"Ifatia is my mother's name."
After a moment, Hyperion nodded in acknowledgement.
Although she had never heard of the name Talia, her father once told her that her mother's real name was Ifatia.
Hyperion felt that since the Ice Witch asked this question, she must have already guessed it in her mind, so there was no need to lie to her.
Besides, the Ice Witch is the only one who can help me now, so I should try to trust her.
"really."
On the other side of the table, the Ice Witch's expression did not change when she heard this, as if she had almost known it when she saw Hyperion in person just now, "You are the last princess of the demon clan."
"?"
Hyperion pointed at herself in surprise and confusion.
"Princess Ifatia and Talia are both missing, so you are the last of the demon royal family."
The Ice Witch explained calmly.
"this……"
Hyperion was a little confused for a moment.
She didn't expect that her mother had such an identity.
According to my father, my mother was an innocent girl most of the time. Although that was just her acting to pretend to be a human, by the end of the performance, even Duke Migaiya couldn't tell how much of it was true and how much was false.
As for the demon named Talia, Hyperion had never heard of her before.
"There are probably only seven great demons alive in this world right now, including me."
The Ice Witch continued calmly, "All the great demons who advocated war have fought to death. The remaining great demons were those who were unwilling to participate in the war. If they knew that you were the daughter of Ifatia, they would more or less give you some face."
"Is it because of my bloodline?"
"Not really, because Ifatia's revenge would be terrible."
“…”
Hyperion couldn't tell for a moment whether the saint was praising her mother or insulting her mother.
"So the few great demons alive in the world, are they all anti-war like you?"
Hyperion asked again.
She probably understood that the Ice and Snow Witch probably hoped that she could help seek help from several other great demons.
Everything has its cause and effect. This can be considered a kind of screening. The other six great demons may be the type that have the greatest hope of coexisting with humans.
"I am against the war, the two princesses are against war, the three in the imperial prison are conservatives, and one is in favor of surrender."
The Ice Witch stood up and walked to the bookshelf beside her. She glanced at the spines of the books and spoke with her back to Hyperion.
The ground was paved with clear water stones, and each stone slab was polished very smoothly. The faint lines on it seemed as if they had been washed by time. When the Ice and Snow Witch walked on it, there was almost no sound, as if she was walking in the arms of God.
“…”
The camps are clearly divided.
Those who opposed the war became saints, those who refused to fight went into exile, those who were conservative went to prison, and no one knows what happened to those who surrendered to the Lord.
Currently, the only ones whose whereabouts are known, besides the Ice Witch, are the three in prison.
"How can I help you?"
If she could help the Kingdom of Aethertalan and the Church of the Goddess of Fate, it would undoubtedly be an unimaginable merit. As a believer of the Goddess of Fate, Hyperion would naturally feel obliged to do so.
Maybe I can even help him pay back all the merits that Lanqi owes me.
Even enough for him to squander for several more years.
"I hope to entrust you with an important task. Sneak into the empire and contact the three great demons in the prison. One of them will at least give you face and try to bring her back."
The Ice Witch took out the last atlas from the bookshelf, returned to the sofa with a few books in her hands, spread them out on the table, pointed out a location, and made a sincere request to Hyperion.
"Why would a great demon listen to me?"
Hyperion looked at the place where the Ice Witch's finger was pointing, which was exactly the capital of the Protoss Empire, and then looked at the Ice Witch's face.
"Did you know that your mother, Ifatia, actually had a sister named Talia?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The Ice Witch sighed.
"I haven't heard my father say that."
Although Hyperion had roughly determined the relationship between the two princesses through the conversation just now, she still shook her head.
She only heard today that she had an aunt who was also missing.
"There is a great demon in the prison who has a good relationship with your aunt Talia. If she knew your blood relationship with Talia, she would not make things difficult for you and would try her best to protect you. So she is the rescue target we must strive for."
The Ice Witch took out a few paintings from the pages of the book and spread them out on the table. They were portraits of several great demons.
"The most important thing is her ability. She is an excellent demon doctor and coordinator. Once the war starts, whether she is guarding the rear of the battle line or serving as the logistics commander, she will be of irreplaceable and great significance."
However, as Hyperion listened to the Ice Witch's story and looked at the paintings on the table, she felt that something was wrong.
She had seen photos of her mother at home, but they were not as abstract as the one in the painting.
But she didn't dare to ask who drew these pictures. It would be embarrassing if the Ice Witch drew them herself.
"It's a pity that Talia has disappeared. After rescuing this great demon, she will probably want to look for Talia immediately. I can only ask you to help retain her and help the Kingdom of Aethertalan first. We will also promise her that we will help her find clues about Talia no matter how difficult it is."
The Ice Witch said helplessly.
If she hadn't seen some hope of getting help from the great demon in Hyperion, she wouldn't have planned to touch the Imperial Prison.
"What about the other two great demons?"
Hyperion remembered that the Ice Witch had just said that there were three great demons in the prison.
In the Demon Realm back then, those powerful people who were called great demons were at least at level eight or above, and any one of them held an important position in the demon clan.
"Don't even think about controlling them. They are actually loyal followers of the demon clan. They are just simply conservative."
The Ice and Snow Witch seemed to have very little interaction with the two demons, and her tone became much more distant when she mentioned them.
For her, only two princesses were old acquaintances with whom she had a good relationship.
Although the other two great demons possess alternative innate magic that is comparable to the power of the vampires, they are unlikely to be willing to fight for the alien race and can only become an unstable factor on the battlefield.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, the Ice Witch did not want to take the huge risk of releasing them.
