Chapter 387: Hyperion's Mysterious Aunt
After Lanch finished explaining the prison's structure and operational arrangements, he put down his pen for the time being, giving Hyperion some time to think.
Hyperion looked down at the drawings on the table and thought for a while, then nodded seriously to Lanqi to confirm that she had memorized them all.
"The original plan of the Ice Witch teacher was to go to the prison and secretly take a great demon back to the Kingdom of Estellan on the day of the bishop election a week later while all the attention was diverted. But now it seems that we can do it a little earlier."
Hyperion exclaimed.
Once she takes action in advance and enters the prison, the Ice Witch will also detect it through divine magic.
This change in plan might scare the Ice Witch, but she should also understand that Hyperion found a better opportunity and took action ahead of schedule.
Entering the prison to rescue the target demon clan is the final step of Hyperion's priesthood assessment arranged by the Ice Witch in the Church of the Goddess of Destiny. After it is started, the Ice Witch will sense it through Hyperion's church token [Proof of Destiny].
If one wants to upgrade [Proof of Destiny] to the pink sacred grade that is almost impossible to unbind, and become a truly unquestionable core clergyman, the assessment of his clergy faith will resonate with several high priests.
They will serve as witnesses and supervisors to confirm the authenticity and validity of the assessment.
Although they are unable to interfere or communicate, even the high priest and chief paladin far away in the southern continent, or the chief judge conquering deep in the land of disaster in the far north, have the power to perceive this ceremony through divine magic beyond dimensions.
This is why there are rarely rebellions or disagreements among the top leaders of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.
When it comes to this level of clergymanship, it is impossible to conceal it from the eyes of church decision-makers in any opportunistic way.
Hyperion is in mixed emotions now.
Although according to Lanqi's plan, on that day, the direct soldiers of the Tyrant Branch would disguise themselves as students to assist her, and the decision makers of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny would not be able to see it.
But she felt like she was committing a serious crime. It was actually the Resurrection Church that helped her complete this assessment. From her behavior, it seemed that she was no different from the mole of the Resurrection Church who tried his best to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.
"The information about these three great demons has long been sealed by the great sage of the empire, Isis. The great demons are a taboo for the Protoss Empire. Even I can't find out about them at the moment. Did the Church of the Goddess of Destiny tell you their names?"
Lanci has already told us the information from his side, and the rest needs to be learned from Hyperion.
He had heard Hyperion mention that she was commissioned by the Ice Witch.
Then the Ice and Snow Witch should know these three great demons.
"Antanas the Guardian."
"Shinora the Lawbreaker."
"Praana of Truth."
"These three."
Hyperion replied.
The Ice and Snow Witch also told her a little about the personalities and characteristics of the three great demons.
"What do they look like? Can you describe them?"
Lanci inquired.
“…”
Hyperion held her chin with her hand and thought for a long time with a frown on her brow. Thinking back to the paintings that the Ice Witch took out, she felt like her head was about to split open.
The abstract paintings that the Ice Witch had taken out at the beginning made it completely impossible for her to describe the characteristics.
"Take your time to think about it. There's no rush. Gloria, please give me some paper and pen to draw on."
Lanqi did not urge Hyperion, but turned to his direct soldier Gloria.
Upon hearing this, Gloria immediately went to the study and got what Lanci wanted. She also brought an extra low chair and placed it next to Lanci so that he could sit on the other side of the coffee table to paint. Then she placed all the spare supplies that might be used on the cabinet, and she would hand them to Lanci whenever he needed them.
Cat Boss looked at Gloria's serious look 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 and said nothing.
Then the tip of the pen in Lanqi's hand began to move randomly on the paper, and the friction sound of pencil and paper echoed in the quiet living room.
He had reviewed a few manuscripts, and the title was a mysterious demon clan, which would appear in an extremely difficult copy, but he didn't know whether it was a big demon clan.
According to his impression, this copy is somewhat similar to the Helrom Prison in the Imperial Capital.
The first half of the copy is a mechanical copy with a recommended level of 67, and the second half is a hidden copy with a recommended level of 82. Both are in an unimplemented state.
While deep in thought, Lanci lowered his head and did not focus on depicting. He just let the brushstrokes flow with his impressions, gradually outlining a sloppy outline on the paper. Although he painted casually, his brushstrokes were simple and clear, and it didn't take long for the characters to come alive on the paper.
Sigrid stared at Lanci to pass the time. Lanci was still painting absent-mindedly and too casually as usual, and it seemed that he had no intention of painting 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 painting her portrait as promised in the future, she will definitely not let the Holy Son off easily.
After ten minutes or so, Lanqi had completed three simple drawings.
"Are they the three?"
Lanqi picked up the three pages and placed them one by one in front of Hyperion.
Among the three demons in the painting, one is a short-haired beauty. Her temperament fully embodies neutral beauty and she is also the gentlest one.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
A quiet lady, with her eyes closed, but feeling a terrible sense of oppression.
There was another one who was handsome, dignified and polite. There was mist in his slender and cold eyes, and his smile made people feel cold.
What the three have in common is that they all have the horns, ear tips and pupils of the demon race, as well as the indifference that comes from the heart.
"…They seem to be somewhat similar to the teacher's drawing, but they don't seem to be these three demons at all."
Hyperion stared at the three paintings with confusion.
"Uh... I think your drawing is correct."
Hyperion analyzed for a long time, trying hard to arrange them, and finally matched the three portraits with the names of the three great demons.
Sigrid silently watched Hyperion's distressed appearance and was convinced that the Son of God's painting was really bad.
It can’t be that the Ice Witch can’t draw.
"Did the Ice Witch tell you about the strength of these three?"
Lanci asked.
"Well, if we divide them into five levels: ordinary eighth level, strong eighth level, quasi-bishop eighth level, bishop eighth level, and super bishop eighth level, then Antanas of Guardian is probably at the level of ordinary eighth level to strong eighth level, Shinora of Lawbreaker is considered to be strong eighth level, and Pranay of Truth is slightly stronger than Shinora of Lawbreaker, but he has more functions and is not the type to fight head-on."
Hyperion used the combat power classification method of Ikerite Academy in the southern continent to roughly describe the strength of the three great demons that the Ice and Snow Witch told her.
Sigrid was stunned when she heard this. She wondered why there were so many divisions in the eighth level. Even she herself didn't know what the strength of the bishop level was.
"So the Ice Witch intends to save Guardian Antanas? Why is she so sure that Antanas will cooperate with the Church of the Goddess of Fate?"
Lanci analyzed for a while. Based on the characteristics of the great demons described by Hyperion, he felt that the two loyal ministers of the demons, Shinora the Lawbreaker and Pranay the Truth, both had obvious desires and demands. Only Antanas the Guardian was the most like a normal person, not even that much like a demon, and it was difficult to reach cooperation with him.
"My teacher told me that Antanas has some connection with my mother. As long as I can meet her, I will be able to convince her to help us."
Hyperion replied.
Hyperion didn't want to explain in the Tyrant branch that she was the princess of the last descendant 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 seen the legendary Aunt Talia, based on the stories told by the Ice Witch, Hyperion was very sure that the great demon named Antanas had a very good relationship with her aunt, and they would both be very happy if they could meet again.
So after this is over, Hyperion and the Ice Witch will do their best to help Antanas find Talia and fulfill the transaction promise that their Church of the Goddess of Destiny made to this great demon.
During this period, Hyperion herself was quite curious about what kind of demon her aunt was.
Clearly according to the description of the Ice Witch, Princess Talia is very aloof, and there is a thick wall between her and other demons. She will only allow demons that she approves of to get close to her.
But for some reason, Hyperion felt that Talia in the story of the Ice Witch was strangely familiar. She was her ideal mother and fit her fantasy of a mother... If only one day she could meet Aunt Talia and she could treat her kindly...
