……
More than ten minutes later.
A slender figure came to the door of Boss Cat's restaurant.
She was wearing sunglasses, and her silver eyes under the dark lenses vaguely reflected the sunlight on the glass of the wooden house restaurant. Her long white hair danced in the wind, as softly as snowflakes.
Before she could raise her hand to touch the door, her hand stopped.
The store has an overly strong isolation barrier.
It was as if it was a black box. Before entering, there was no way to detect the situation in the store through any magic.
There is no doubt that this is the work of Antanas, Shinora, and Pranay.
This restaurant is extremely close to Icerite Academy. Even Loren's student Asna is the chef here. If Loren doesn't know that there is a demon fortress hidden under his nose, the Ice Witch doesn't believe it.
If it were in the past when Loren was still there, the Ice Witch believed that Asna's job as a chef was just an illusion, just to follow Loren's will and build a bridge with the demons.
But now that the news of Loren's death came, the Ice Witch was stunned for a long time.
She investigated all night, and finally got the result that only Loren really lost to the three war gods.
She always felt a little empty in her heart, and even realized that she might have been fighting with the air for too long and misunderstood Loren, a good person.
Every time, she firmly believes that Loren has planned everything and will come back to win everything in the end. Only this time, the Ice Witch felt her heart sinking when she looked at the investigation report from the Aloran Kingdom.
Even for some unknown reason, she still couldn't let go of her last fantasy, wondering whether this man might have faked his death on purpose and had now embarked on a path of evil in the Crean Empire.
But the cruel fact is that I will never see this man again. I am so stupid to always doubt such a kind person.
The Ice Witch wiped away her tears, her eyes became firm again, and she pushed towards the door.
She also has her mission.
The smell of oatmeal and cheese still lingers on the first floor of the restaurant.
It was obviously a moment of relaxing chat among the permanent employees shortly after breakfast.
They were chatting with Hyperion on the first floor.
The wind chimes in Boss Cat's restaurant suddenly rang, breaking the usual tranquility.
A major feature of this wooden house is the large area of the roof that is curved. The eaves are far longer than the walls, and a string of wind chimes hangs under the deep eaves. Whenever the breeze blows or customers come, they will make a pleasant ringing sound.
They all looked towards the door.
This place is obviously not open for business, and the wind chimes are ringing, which means someone is back.
Of course, for the three big demons, they had already noticed that a guest had arrived at the door even without the sound of wind chimes.
The figure with white hair and light eyes opened the door and stepped into the restaurant.
In an instant, she paused.
It seems that there is something unusual here.
On the surface, the interior of the restaurant looks simple, with wooden tables, chairs and floors exuding a light pine scent. There are some handicrafts and old books placed in the corners.
In fact, she soon discovered that the wooden house building was full of carefully constructed ancient demonic barriers. Even if she stepped into this place and wanted to do something in this building, she would probably have no return, only a few Only the cooperation of the big demons can accomplish such a feat.
It was obviously the transformation that took a lot of time to be completed by the three great demons in Helrom Prison brought back by Hyperion from the Northern Continent and Thalia.
This is no longer the standard that a restaurant should have.
She believed this place was a little devil's palace.
But Loren is dead, and all misunderstandings are resolved.
"Huberlian, long time no see."
The Ice Witch looked at the familiar girl's figure that was already looking at her, and the three figures who looked like employees in the restaurant behind her.
No matter how complicated the magical environment here is, she believes it is all to protect Hyperion.
"Teacher Artis! I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
Hyperion was a little timid at first, until she confirmed the gentle look in the other person's eyes, and gradually quickened her pace and excitedly rushed over to hug the Ice Witch Artis.
Although she didn't know what Teacher Artis was doing when she came to see her today, the moment their master and apprentice reunited, Hyperion was filled with a sense of peace of mind.
Chapter 725 The double surprise of the Ice Witch and Hyperion
The aura around the Snow Witch Artis was still so cold, but it made Hyperion feel extremely warm. The teacher who took good care of her every day in the Northern Continent, the bond between them will never disappear.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The Ice Witch originally wanted to push Hyperion away, but she couldn't bear it when she saw Hyperion like this.
Without Thalia to look after Hyperion, she seemed to be Hyperion's only guardian.
She gently put her hands on Hyperion's back.
Then the Ice Witch raised her eyes again and looked at the three employees in the restaurant behind Hyperion.
The phrase "Long time no see" was also addressed to them.
She did not expect that they, the surviving great demons from the old era, would meet again in such an ordinary-looking human restaurant.
Although the three employees in the restaurant in front of her were faces she had never seen before, the Ice Witch could recognize them at a glance due to their familiar temperament and magic power fluctuations.
The woman sitting in front of the bar looked at her with a calm expression. She was wearing a long black dress like a noble lady from a well-known family. She was the law-breaking Shinora.
And the casual and playful woman with short hair, wearing a leather vest, tight leather pants and high boots is obviously the guardian Antanas.
Wearing a dark brown suit and vest, the man who looks particularly reserved and deep behind the dimly lit bar is the Pranay of Truth.
"Artis, I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years."
Antanas said to her with a relieved smile.
She has a good relationship with most demons, including the half-demon Ice Witch.
"Do you have a problem with us?"
On the other hand, Pranay spoke expressionlessly, staring at Artis.
Sinora originally planned to say hello to the Snow Witch, but after seeing her brother's attitude, she immediately stopped talking and remained quiet.
After thinking about it carefully, Sinora also understood why her brother was so cold towards Artis.
Artis obviously came to them more than to Hyperion.
Nowadays, the Allied forces are very lacking in eighth-level hero units. They are retreating on the battlefield and shrinking their front lines. The three of them, the eight-level great demons hidden in Ikerita, will be a force that cannot be ignored.
But their duty is to protect Hyperion, and they cannot help the Ice Witch with any combat deployment.
"I want to ask you to help me."
The Ice Witch finally pressed Hyperion's shoulders, moved her away, and looked at the three great demons.
She knew that the demon sage Pranay could read her mind at a glance.
In this case, there is nothing to hide.
"It's impossible, we won't leave Hyperion's side, her safety is the highest priority."
Sinora answered decisively.
Even if it is not a task assigned by Lan Qi, she will protect Hyperion. Hyperion is her irreplaceable friend and will not let Hyperion take any risks.
"Artis, it's not that we don't want to help you, but protecting the princess is our most important task."
Antanas added from the side.
At this moment, they are all in the camp of the Southern Continent Allies. If the Allies lose, they will still be displaced, but they also have their own jobs.
"..."
Pranay stared at the Ice Witch for a moment,
"The biggest source of disaster in the Creain Empire at present, Duke Rashal, the third ancestor of the blood race, holds the power of blood control, which is at the apex of spiritual magic and illusion magic. The more negative emotions the enemy has, the easier it will be. Duke Raschael found the flaw in his mind and completed the mental control and forced brainwashing. "
He still spoke and shared the information and Lan Qi's prophetic dream with the Ice Witch.
Although it seems that the vampires in the Creja Empire have not yet moved from behind the scenes to the front, the start of the war in the Creja Empire is inseparable from the control of the vampires.
This information gap, which only they possess, does not need to be made public. On the one hand, the Allied forces cannot threaten the vampires in the rear on the frontal battlefield. On the other hand, it will alert the snakes and arouse the defense of the vampires in the hinterland of the empire.
Perhaps due to the mutual interference of multiple factors, the world line that Lan Qi saw from the goddess of fate has shifted. For example, the war in the Kraiju Empire was advanced several months, and the war was launched even earlier, which shows that the blood race's The preparation was not as complete as it could have been.
Even so, the vampires will still find every way to kill Hyperion.
The death of Princess Hyperion, the real meaning to the vampires is to break the spiritual defense of Duke Milaya.
Only in this way can Milaya become a slave of the vampires and hand over all his original magic.
Duke Miriam's dark magic is too important to the Vampires, and it can also become the Vampires' protective umbrella during the day. Only by mastering the daytime can the Vampires greatly speed up the erosion of the Creja Empire.
If the ninth ancestor, Marquis Bernhard, can still be found, he can absorb Milaya and maximize Milaya's benefits.
Once something goes wrong with Hyperion, it means that Duke Milaya will become a puppet under the spiritual control of Duke Lashar, the third ancestor of the vampire family.
Even though Duke Milaya's frontal combat effectiveness is probably only at the quasi-bishop level, if his scientific research ability joins the Empire, the consequences will be catastrophic.
"Bloodlines……"
The Ice Witch pondered for a moment. She knew that there had been rumors of vampires in the Kraiju Empire. There was a powerful eighth-level vampire who had fought with Loren in the Hutton South Wantina Territory.
As for the so-called third ancestor, the one who can be called the Duke of Blood is undoubtedly a terrifying creature of the ninth level.
After all the ninth levels were forcibly recruited by the ninth level shadow world that would only appear in a century or two, whoever could break through to the ninth level the fastest would be the invincible existence in the world.
However, if there is a ninth-level person who is in an extremely strong sealed state and is rescued at this time, then the strength will be too advanced.
Coupled with this ability called [Blood Controlling the Heart], it will undoubtedly become a real power to steal the country and reproduce the tragedy of the Horning Empire in ancient times.
The Ice Witch, who understood the cause and effect in a short time, covered her forehead with a headache.
She didn't know how to solve the ninth-level vampire in the dark hinterland of the empire, but she just felt that there was no solution.
The only one who has the possibility of defeating the Third Ancestor may be Loren's student Lan Qi. He has a flawless mind that cannot be affected by the Heart Control of Blood. He also possesses the power of the sun that can weaken the vampire family tenfold. It is as if he was born to be the Third Ancestor. Natural enemies.
But the problem is that Lan Qi's current level is still too low. Even if he can successfully find the third ancestor, he will not be able to defeat his old enemy for the time being.
