Demon Royal Family

Prometheus's conditions are unprecedentedly tolerant, which is equivalent to him surrendering to Ivo, but this is not Ivo's plan. If he agrees to the cardinal archbishop's conditions, he will be confined to the Hokuriku and lose the opportunity to meet the Pope. .

The journey of salvation is the only way for heretics to meet the Pope.

Prometheus was stunned and said uncertainly: "Do you understand the journey of redemption?"

Ivo nodded and spoke eloquently: "The journey of redemption originated at the end of the Night Calendar. The rule of the three Black Night clans had just collapsed. They were in the most chaotic and disorderly situation. Countless powerful heretics were poisoning the entire world. The Holy See sent countless The Night's Watch fought against it, and in the end they won miserably. However, chaos would create an endless stream of heresies. In order to curb the power of heresies, the Holy See took a mild attitude towards heresies for the first time and introduced a new policy, which is the redemption The prerequisites for the brigade were very harsh, but it gave many heretics hope. Twenty percent of the heretics were not real villains. They were only identified as heretics due to accidents, mistakes, or origins, and were included in the judgment sequence. , the Night Watch’s attitude towards heretics is to kill them all, so they have no way out. The journey of redemption gives them hope.”

"Although the prerequisites are very strict, there are still many heretics who are not willing to live in the darkness and work hard to achieve these prerequisites. What is interesting is that most of these prerequisites are to combat heretical groups. The Holy See uses a tolerant attitude in exchange for He broke into a civil war among the heretics and won over three powerful heretics through the journey of redemption. The heretical forces were in ruins, and the Night Watch easily suppressed the remaining heretics, leaving only a few small fish and shrimps hiding, afraid to be exposed to the Church. In sight, the tradition of the journey of redemption has been passed down. To this day, there are a total of forty-seven journeys of redemption approved by the Holy See, and a total of eight people have completed it, all of which are the most dangerous black heresies. These black heresies will be in the future In the days since, they have become staunch supporters of the Holy See and joined the Inquisition."

There is still a word that has not been said. These black heretics have obtained the protection of the Holy See and have become the thugs of the Holy See. This is also the benefit that the Holy See has gained from the journey of redemption. Everyone gets what they need.

Although the journey of redemption sounds lofty, it is actually just a transaction.

Ivo paused and continued: "The prerequisites for the journey of redemption are very strict. First, it must make a positive contribution to the world, killing heretics or saving civilians. The standard will be judged by the senior leaders of the church; second, it must be a kingdom. An unconditional guarantee for the heresy. If the heresy breaks out again in the future, the Holy See will blame the kingdom that guarantees the heresy; the third is to have sufficient deterrence and be ranked high in the judgment sequence; the fourth is to be a cardinal or above. The recommendation and approval of the important figures in the church; the fifth is..."

Listing it all the way down, there are a total of nine prerequisites. Except for the first four conditions that need to be discussed, he has already achieved the next five.

Prometheus pondered, guessing Ivo's intentions. As far as he knew, Ivo exposed himself as a heretic, and also implicated the Dark Eye of a big heretic church. He thought about it, and finally came to the conclusion that Ivo wanted to Dealing with the old club.

As a heretic traitor, he was worried about the threat of the Dark Eye, so he sought the help of the Holy See. He thought he understood Ivo's thoughts.

After completing the journey of redemption, you are basically considered to be half a member of the church. This is the most effective way for heretics to whitewash themselves.

Ivo said: "The first requirement is that I believe that my contribution to civilians and believers during the war is enough to impress the Holy See."

"I own the golden cross of Lassès."

"I am the Crimson Heretic of the Judgment Sequence." Speaking of this, I would also like to thank Sistine. What he did was blamed on himself.

"As for the recommendation from the higher-ups of the Holy See, Bishop Prometheus, I believe you will not refuse to do me this small favor."

Prometheus quickly weighed the pros and cons. If he agreed to Ivo's redemption journey, Ivo's influence would greatly help the Holy See return to the North Continent. To him, it was just a matter of words. There was no reason not to make such a deal.

Thinking of this, Prometheus smiled eagerly and nodded: "I will apply for a redemption journey for you. Each redemption journey must be discussed at a high-level meeting of the Holy See. This will take a few days."

Ivo laughed and said, "I will arrange for you to stay in the best hotel."

Prometheus nodded and turned to look at the sea of ​​people blocking the road, "This..."

Ivo waved his hand, faced the people, and said loudly: "I am very grateful to everyone for supporting me so much. I have reached a consensus with the Holy See. Thank you for being here. Let's go."

They just witnessed the scene where Ivo and the red archbishop had a happy conversation, so they were relieved.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Prometheus secretly sighed at Ivo's influence and smiled: "Then let's go first."

"I'm waiting for your good news." Ivo nodded.

Prometheus left with the night watchmen without even looking at Aurora. He was extremely dissatisfied with Aurora's self-assertion and decided to propose to the Pope to transfer this arrogant son of God when he returned.

Orona took a deep look at Ivo, clenched his fists unwillingly, and left silently.

When Prometheus agreed to apply for Ivo's redemption journey, he knew that he could not touch Ivo.

Ivo took a long breath. As long as the Holy See approved his application for a redemption journey, he would have the opportunity to meet the Pope. According to his estimation, the chance of the Holy See approving the redemption journey was over 90%. Although Some of the prerequisites were only met briefly, but returning to Hokuriku was an important task for the Holy See. His influence was a great help to the Holy See, and he was extremely confident that the Holy See would agree to his request.

Seven III sighed, "It looks like you are leaving."

Ivo nodded. There was no suspense about leaving Hokuriku. All he had to do was to arrange various tasks after he left, arrange his direct relatives, and then prepare many matters for leaving Hokuriku.

Ivo is not setting off alone, he will be accompanied by many members of the Hurricane Regiment. He is not satisfied with having power in the Hokuriku, he wants to develop an intelligence network in the wider Odin Continent.

This is of course very expensive, so the establishment of a chamber of commerce is imperative, and he has completed the preliminary preparations.

"Take your time and take care of all the little things."

…

The city of Nuevo Las Vegas is noisy and lively at night. It is a large city with a population of one million and has a rich nightlife.

In the room of a high-end hotel, the carved windows and doors were covered with a light film. The noise of the street seemed to be isolated. The room was silent. Prometheus used magic to isolate the noise from the outside world. He Kneeling on the ground, performing daily routine prayers, with a trace of halo flowing on the red robe.

Divine magic comes from prayer and faith. The number of magical magic possessed by the red archbishop is not as much as that of the white priest of the same level. The two belong to the civil service and the priesthood. However, the red archbishop also possesses at least ten kinds of divine magic. Daily prayers It has become a habit.

If the faith is not sincere, the magic will disappear. Therefore, although the magic is powerful, it is actually a power that does not belong to oneself, and the power must be maintained through daily prayer.

Clergy members of the church pray for at least ten hours a day, and if they persist for decades, the power gained in return is as vast as the sea. Clergy members are the cornerstone of the church.

After completing his daily prayers, Prometheus rolled up his sleeves, revealing his left palm with slightly wrinkled skin. By the standards of a seventy-year-old man, his palm looked very "young", except for the little finger, and the other four fingers. Each finger is wearing a ring or ring, engraved with different patterns and emitting a slight halo. These are magic props engraved with special enchantments. They are of very high grade and are all produced by masters.

The Holy Court not only studies divine arts, but also has a very long history of inheritance and training of mages and knights. It has countless talents and a dedicated logistics team of craftsmen. Almost all of them are masters, and their power is evident.
