Pranay just listened quietly to Shinola's words, slowly put down his hands, and remained motionless, as if he was still chained.
He didn't even take off the mask that was restraining him.
Shinora worked hard to unlock the mask behind Pranay's head, allowing him to finally speak.
Under the mask of bondage, the handsome face has clear lines, and one can vaguely see the similarities with Shinora as a sibling. The only significant difference is Pranai's slender eyes. His pupil color is like the deepest dark blue in the night sky, with a cold and distant feeling of distance, and at the same time hides a layer of imperceptible fog, mysterious and unpredictable.
"..."
Shinola stared at her brother in a daze. She didn't know why, the sage from the demon world who always had a slight smile on his lips, didn't have any joy at all about regaining his freedom.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
When they were in the demon world before, they had always had absolute mutual trust and shared life and death. She didn't think that even if she said so much, Planai would still think she was joking.
"One day, I will leave, to the place where we belong, but not today."
Pranay of Truth lowered his eyes, his expression dim, and he said lightly,
"We don't have the ability to survive on the ground right now."
"Brother, the new king is very strong, stronger than the three of us. If we join forces, we won't be afraid of even the great sage of the empire. You can rest assured that we will be safe."
Shinola said calmly.
She knew what Pranay was worried about and why she was so pessimistic.
My brother is a coward, but he is not so cowardly that he doesn’t even want the freedom he has gained.
"..."
Pranay just shook his head and smiled.
When he looked at Shinola again, his eyes were filled with a complex hesitation to speak.
"I can imagine how powerful the new king is who was able to rescue both of you so perfectly. I also understand how hard it is for us to wait for such a new king..."
Pranay looked at the prison wall behind Shinola and muttered to himself.
He is often able to see more than other demons, and therefore, understands deeper meanings.
The new king is not at the ninth level. If she were, no one in the current Protoss Empire would be her match. There would be no need to go through so much trouble to rescue the three of them.
"The Protoss Empire, the shadow of the curse has always been following it, but the entire imperial capital Helrom has not responded. When these foolish guys explored the endless problems and sources of disasters, it was already too late... Sometimes I always feel that everything is happening again, and no one can change the status quo."
Pranai whispered to himself as if announcing the fate of the Protoss Empire.
"Did you see something..."
Shinora asked with some concern.
She knew that after not seeing him for a hundred years, Pranay's innate magic must have evolved.
Because even without an opponent, Pranay can always use his eyes.
Perhaps my brother has acquired a certain quality of clairvoyance or future vision, which can be exerted intermittently and erratically.
The reason why my brother is so reluctant to return to the earth is that some unknown changes are taking place in the Protoss Empire, and it is about to reach a critical point?
"..."
Pranay was silent for a long time.
He originally didn't want to say it because he had no need to help the Protoss Empire, but for his compatriots, he decided not to hide it from them.
"The Protoss Empire will soon fall, in a few years at most... The bishop election in three days will be a turning point."
Pranay spoke slowly to Sinora and Antanas,
"A few days ago, an unknown battle took place in the north of the Protoss Empire. I saw several enemies that were impossible to defeat. Their battle, which could easily destroy us, was just the opening battle of the Protoss Empire's demise..."
"This……"
Shinora and Antanas looked at each other.
They didn't expect that the Protoss Empire on the ground was facing a century-long change!
At this point, returning to the Protoss Empire seemed like a very bad situation.
Shinora and Antanas also understood immediately. Planai judged that it would be safer to use Helrom Prison as a natural shelter. He did not want to be involved in the dispute and wanted to stay alive until he reached the ninth level before getting out!
History has proven that Planai’s judgment is often not very wrong. Even if the new king agrees with Planai, the only thing he cannot change is Planai’s conservative decision-making.
Now, even if the new king has his own judgment and thinks it is better to leave the prison, it will be difficult to convince Pranay who has made up his mind!
"..."
Seeing the surprised expressions of Shinora and Antanas, Pranay knew -
The new king also knew nothing about the changes in the Protoss Empire.
Currently added/total chapters owed: 28/36
I have been writing four updates in two consecutive days and my eyes can’t see clearly anymore. I can’t write the fourth update today. I need to lie down for a while.
I will try to add more chapters tomorrow.
Chapter 445 Dr. Lanqi's new patient is successfully registered
Pranay was trapped in a heavy straitjacket, and his eyes were no longer filled with calm murderous intent as before.
The reunion with his two fellow demons was a rare surprise for him in the past hundred years, but unfortunately it came at the worst time.
The airflow in Pranai's special cell gradually returned to calm, and the light mist that was originally distorted by the collision of eighth-level magic power also returned to normal. The frost-covered walls and the temple-like magic-forbidden steel pillars fell silent again.
"You two can either run away and let the new king take you away from the blockade of the Protoss Empire as quickly as possible and face new challenges in the southern continent, or you can continue to stay in this underground prison protected by the ninth-level barrier. Hiding here is actually a way to survive."
Pranay looked at Shinora and Antanas, speaking at an even pace.
"Everything in the southern continent is full of unknowns. The worst-case scenario there might be that we have to become beggars on the streets in order to conceal our identities as demons."
Without any sign of haste or excitement in his eyes, Pranay finished his exhortation to his two compatriots.
"But……"
Shinola felt that her brother was still too pessimistic, but she didn't know what to say.
No matter how shameful they are as eighth-rank demons, they won't become beggars in the Southern Continent.
It would be better to die than to live.
"Praana, you really are..."
Seeing this situation, Antanas slapped his forehead and shook his head.
Based on her understanding of the steady Pranay, this guy would rather go to jail than take the risk.
As long as he could successfully survive for a thousand years until the ninth-rank demon was released from prison, no matter what the situation on the ground was by then, with Pranay's characteristics and his expertise in magic, at least no one would be able to threaten him.
And Antanas didn't know what Pranay had seen that made him so scared.
She was going to say something, but after looking at Shinola for a moment, she decided to wait for the king to come and have the king communicate with Pranai in person. They might make mistakes if they acted on their own.
No matter what, this important information needs to be told to the king so that he can make an urgent judgment.
"Sinora, Antanas, let's go. Don't let Helrom Prison find you."
Pranay sat on the stone platform and said goodbye.
He didn't know why these two guys looked so relaxed, as if they completely ignored the security system of Helrom Prison, as well as the warden and prison officers. However, it would definitely be an unwise move to continue wasting every second of escape time here.
The reason why the new king has not shown up after they have been chatting here for so long is that Pranay probably guessed that the new king is undergoing the test of the [Inverted Road to Rebirth] on the negative sixth floor.
Every remaining Great Demon Trial in the world is extremely rare. If you want to become a king who creates new glory for the Demon Clan, there is basically no Great Demon Trial to choose from. Even if you are not good at it, you have to risk your life to give it a try.
However, Antanas the Guardian and Shinora the Lawbreaker remained indifferent.
He just stood there as if following an order, waiting silently.
Time seemed to freeze, and the two great demons disguised as prison guards did not move.
Until a few minutes passed.
There was a sudden noise outside the cell door, breaking the silence.
Accompanied by mist and frost, a figure slowly walked in.
The figure in the dim prison was particularly eye-catching. His black hair emitted a soft luster under the glow, and his emerald green pupils were like two emeralds in the abyss, mysterious and deep.
As the figure walked into the cell, Antanas and Shinora both turned around and looked at her.
The two great demons performed demon etiquette to the visitor.
Pranay of Truth also watched the mysterious demon who had finally arrived in his special cell.
From the attitudes of Antanas and Shinora, it can be seen that the female figure with black hair and green eyes is the new king they are talking about.
"what happened?"
The Great Love Poet asked in confusion, looking at the three great demons who were silent in the cell.
He originally thought that these three great demons, who had not seen each other for a hundred years, should have a lot to talk about.
Now it looks like he's saying goodbye.
"..."
Compared to Antanas and Shinora, who still had some scars on their faces when they broke into the cell just now, the new king seemed to be unharmed, and it was even unknown how long he had been in the [Inverted Road to the Dead].
Pranay was quite shocked.
He knew best how terrifying the [Upside-down Road to Rebirth] was. To him, it was almost all real damage. The new king looked so relaxed that it was very likely that he had even successfully passed the baptism of the [Upside-down Road to Rebirth] trial.
Even in the demon world back then, there were not many great demons who could go through the long torture in the [Upside Down Road to Rebirth] and still look calm and composed.
The new king is obviously a crazy radical.
He is the most fearless and lunatic!
"Sinora, have you explained our purpose to Lord Pranay?"
The great poet walked to a place not far in front of Pranay and turned his head to look at Shinola beside him to find out what was going on.
Shinora nodded somewhat embarrassedly.
