Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Unless they escape to the Dust Territory, as long as they remain in this star system, there will be a day when he catches them.

After killing three Templars, Anran's level had increased to 159, but even so, she still couldn't see through Ronald's level.

"You need to understand..."

Ronald suddenly spoke up: "This 'cooperation' is not only for yourself and the transdimensional world, but also for the entire empire."

"The entire empire, what do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says."

"..."

Damn it.

Anran drew a circle behind Ronald and cursed him.

Be careful, or you might get slapped to death by the Void Panda!

……

"Clang!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

bang——

As the doors closed one by one, the only light shining on An Ran was the candlelight on the dungeon walls.

"Why make it so secure? I'm not going to run away."

It was the afternoon of March 28th.

After leaving the planet Sidna, Ronald brought Anran to the Royal Knights' Holy Prison in the Dominak region.

The Holy Prison is said to be the most secure prison ever built by the Royal Knights.

Once you enter this place, no one can escape.

This place has the most solid walls, which even the most powerful master-level experts cannot break through.

"It seems the Royal Knights weren't exaggerating."

After touching the wall, An Ran nodded seriously.

It is a stronger metal than Heimdall superalloy, and when you think of metal safety, you think of Ella.

"Sigh, if Ella were here, she would have advanced to Grandmaster very quickly."

pity.

In this situation, Anran couldn't bring Ella with her. She was capable of protecting herself, but she lacked the confidence to protect Ella.

Upon entering this place, most of the mechanical devices that An Ran had hidden on her body were taken away, including those psionic weapons.

only……

"You can sense the existence of the subspace, but you can't understand what the Sealed Chamber and the Ether Machinery Factory are, nor do you know what player items stored in the system are!"

Anran leaned against the wall with a smug look on his face, his eyes slightly narrowed.

Alright, now that the resurrected pirate princess Anran has been imprisoned by the Royal Knights, whatever happens outside is none of her concern.

"This is one of the most secure prisons in the world; it's impossible for anyone locked up here to escape!"

That's it.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Clang!

Just then, the sound of a prison cell made An Ran's laughter stop.

Her sharp gaze immediately swept towards the next room.

It was pitch black, a darkness that no light could penetrate. An Ran knew very well that it was a partition wall built with a magic called "Black Curtain Technique".

She hadn't really noticed, but there were clearly other people locked up next door.

An Ran placed her hand on the wall and activated [Ether Realm Mimicry Detection].

A moment later, a thin figure appeared in front of An Ran, standing against the wall, shivering.

"This face..."

An Ran had a flash of inspiration and immediately opened the player forum, finding the post that was still being discussed extensively.

[Based on my deduction, the reborn pirate princess is none other than the Empire's eldest princess, Orina!!!]

"(￣▽￣)～■Cheers□～(￣▽￣)"

“I never expected that the long-lost Princess would become my cellmate!” An Ran said with a smile.

"..."

The figure opposite clearly trembled.

Chapter 81 New Version: Turmoil (Final Chapter of Volume X)

The Holy Prison is located on the lowest level of the Royal Knights' compound. Turn left after exiting the gate, and the bright red star will be right in front of you.

This position alone is enough to filter out 99% of those who want to sneak in.

Ronald tapped the control panel in front of him more than a dozen times, and a moment later a huge white halo enveloped the Holy Prison.

"Keep an eye on this marker, and contact me immediately if there's any unusual activity."

Ronald spoke to the Templar Knights following behind him.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

Ronald nodded slightly. The tinder was in hand, and now all that was needed was to wait quietly for the firewood to be ready. Of course, the tinder couldn't be allowed to go out easily either.

"Commander-in-Chief, what about the cultivation plan..."

Ronald waved his hand: "Continue with the execution until the divine judgment is delivered."

"I understand."

Following Ronald was Jacques, the Guardian of the Knights Templar. Guardian was the title conferred upon the leader of the Knights Templar, and Jacques was also a renowned Grandmaster within the Empire.

"There's a vacancy for the deputy commander position now. Why don't you recommend a few more people for the position?"

"Thank you, Commander."

Jacques bowed in salute, his gaze inadvertently glancing at the Holy Prison.

"I'll leave this to you for now. There's one more thing I need to confirm personally." Ronald said casually, his hands behind his back.

Jacques immediately understood, swallowed the words he was about to say, and obediently saw Ronald off.

After throwing Anran into the Holy Prison and completing comprehensive surveillance and spatial shielding, Ronald quickly returned to his base.

Located on the upper level of the Holy Prison, the residence is a colossal artificial structure built upon a stellar sphere, a man-made marvel no less impressive than the Great Ship Industrial Zone.

Ronald's hurried movements attracted the attention of many, including Eresh.

Ronald rarely experiences such emotional fluctuations under normal circumstances.

Was it because four top-level masters died at once?

Most people made this guess.

But only Ronald himself knew that this had nothing to do with the deaths of Anatoly and the others.

Ronald would feel regret over Anatoly's death, but it wouldn't disturb his peace of mind. After failing his first attempt to become a Grandmaster, Ronald no longer had any expectations for Anatoly.

His current worries are only related to the Pillar of Life.

Because it was something he made himself.

If this were just a prop made by an expert he hired, he would at most frown and then call the person over for a chat.

However, this was something he made himself.

The two words “personally” have completely different meanings.

The room where the Pillar of Life was placed was empty, with only the soft orange-red light quietly blooming. Being there felt like stepping into a sea of ​​lanterns.

Ronald found the Pillar of Life, which symbolized Anron's strength, and then he sat down quietly.

All he could see was that pillar.

He was awakened by a sound coming from the doorway.

"Is there a problem?"

Ronald didn't turn around; he knew the person approaching was Eresh.

"Commander-in-Chief, is there anything else I need to do?"

"You will continue to be in charge of investigating the movements of the time-space beings. You must find them."

"Yes."

Eresh left in a hurry.

She didn't hide her whereabouts because she knew it wouldn't work; it was this open observation that allowed her to see Ronald's actions clearly.

Does this mean he's starting to suspect there's something wrong with the Pillar of Life?

Eresh felt a sense of urgency.

If her hidden strength were exposed, she would have no way to explain it.

She could choose to run away, but then her personal plans would be ruined.

"We have to do something; we can't just stand by and watch."

"Should we find a way to smash all the Pillars of Life? No, that won't avoid the surveillance."

"Then..."

Aileshi suddenly stopped in her tracks.
