Demon Royal Family

Prometheus stroked the white wrench on his thumb. The texture looked like soft ash wood, but it was actually extremely hard. The wrench started to shine with wisps of light, getting brighter and brighter, like a misty white mist.

The tables, chairs, and furnishings in the room changed rapidly. After a few seconds, the scene had changed. Prometheus was already in a huge circular temple. There were no candles or oil lamps, but the light was as bright as day. No light source could be seen. .

The temple is surrounded by dozens of statues of different gods. In the center of the temple is a huge round table with eight seats.

The figure of Prometheus is slightly illusory. This is not his entity, but a projection of consciousness.

This temple is the highest-level meeting hall of the Holy See. Unless there is a big event, it will not be opened easily.

Since the appearance of Prometheus, six more red archbishops have appeared in the hall, also wearing red robes. They are all projections of consciousness and all look old. Among them, the most aged one has wrinkles on his face like a dead tree. , looks like he will die at any time, and what’s a little funny is that there is still a handful of long gray hair on the top of his head, like a piece of dogtail grass stuck on the bare wrinkled egg, and it seems that the old bishop treasures the top of his head. He combed a small tuft of hair from time to time, and the first thing he spoke was a braised egg, tremblingly: "Prometheus, why did you hold the 'Red Conference'?"

Prometheus, who was also a red archbishop, saluted respectfully, "My lord."

This little funny-looking old man is the oldest and most senior Cardinal Archbishop, Benedro Pushkin.

There is one empty seat left, which is the Pope's seat. Benedero said: "The Pope is praying, let's discuss it first."

Prometheus told Ivo's application exactly, and seeing the red archbishops here pondering, he said: "I agree to approve Ivo Harricon's journey of redemption."

Benedero tapped his fingers on the table, "Second."

Seeing his statement, the second cardinal archbishop also said: "Second."

However, none of the four cardinals from the third to the sixth spoke. After a long time, the cardinal sitting in the third place said calmly: "Objection."

Prometheus' eyes narrowed.

Wherever there are people, there are fights, and the red-clothed archbishops are also divided into two factions. One is the conservative faction headed by Benedro, who is also leaning towards Benedro's faction, and the other faction is led by the third red-coated archbishop. The radical faction headed by Bishop Delpassani occupies four of the seven bishops, but the actual situation is that Benedero firmly dominates Delpassani. The reason is very simple. The Pope is a conservative.

Delpasani Don Run, this is the full name of the third cardinal. He is the youngest among all the cardinals. His appearance is that of a middle-aged man in his forties, with deep nasolabial folds. , looks full of majesty, with slightly gray temples and thick hair, and the whole person has a unique and noble air.

Delpasani was not just a Cardinal, he was the brother of Emperor Odin!

"Don" is the surname of Odin's royal family!

The culture of the Odin Empire is different from that of Frigga. The first part is the person's name, the middle part is the family surname, and the last part is the father's name. From the name, it can be seen that the Odin Empire attaches great importance to bloodline and inheritance, and birth determines the future.

"be opposed to."

"be opposed to."

"be opposed to."

The fourth, fifth, and sixth cardinals all followed Delpassani in expressing their stance.

Four votes to three!

Benedro glanced at Delpassani, indifferent.

Prometheus sighed helplessly. Although he understood that Ivo could bring many benefits to the church, he was unable to influence the opinions of the big guys here.

At this moment, an old man wearing a gorgeous white and gold robe appeared, and the red archbishops present stood up one after another and lowered their heads to show respect.

This amiable-looking old man is the Pope, who is as noble as a god!

The Pope pressed his palms softly, motioning the bishops to sit down, and said gently: "I'm late, how was the meeting?"

Prometheus said it again, including the vote just now, without adding any modifications, just in a declarative tone. Although he did not like Delpasani, the people here were all experienced old people, and there was no use in talking about it.

After hearing this, the Pope still said gently: "We should not stop a heretic who wants to reform. The Holy See tolerates the world. No matter he is good or evil, as long as he is willing to fall into the arms of the gods, we should give him a chance. I Seconded in favor.”

Prometheus looked slightly happy, one vote of the Pope was equivalent to two votes, and Ivo's application for the redemption journey was approved.

Delpasani looked calm. It didn't matter whether he passed or not. He had no loss and no gain anyway.

The Pope seemed to be interested in Ivo, "It's really rare for a seventeen-year-old boy to achieve such an achievement. I can't wait to baptize him to see what kind of person he is." "

Benedro shrugged, "He may not be able to complete the journey of redemption, and may die on the way. Although the Heretic Tribunal will not take action against those who undertake the redemption, in the eyes of other heretics, participating in the journey of redemption is betrayal, and it is a betrayal of all Enemies of heresy.”

The Pope looked at Prometheus, and Prometheus said at the right time: "I have met him once, and I think he can do it."

The Pope laughed and said, "Then promulgate it."

The consciousness projections of the eight church dignitaries dissipated one after another.

…

Three days later, Prometheus came to the door.

The top floor of the city hall is Ivo's residence, with a special reception room.

After sitting down, Prometheus took out an exquisite badge and placed it on the table, saying, "This is the forty-ninth badge of redemption. The Holy See has approved your application."

Ivo raised his brows, took the badge and looked at it carefully. The prayers were engraved in black fonts, which were nothing more than "Sinners long for heaven". There was a scepter engraved in the middle of the badge, which represented the Pope's hand. The white scepter is a symbol of religious authority.

The brilliance of the Redemption Badge flows, and it is obviously enchanted. The purpose is to make it impossible to imitate, and it also has other functions.

The journey of redemption is a very long journey. Ivo has to visit every church along the way and accept a mission from the local church priest. Of course, this is called "Recovering the Dusty Kindness". The mission given by the priest is usually to help. The local towns and people have different requirements, and most of them let the heretics help others.

After completing the priest's mission, the priest will use divine magic to leave a mark and message in the Chapter of Redemption to express his recognition of the redeemer. Starting from landing on Odin's coastline, the redeemer cannot miss any church along the way. Through each priest The marks left behind can outline the route of the journey of redemption on the map. If any priest on the road is missed, the journey of redemption will fail.

The Church of Odin is the most powerful in the mainland. There are at least hundreds of churches along the way. Each place will be delayed for a while, and the journey is destined to be long.

The tasks of the priests are different, some are difficult and some are easy, and no failure is allowed. If you encounter a particularly difficult priest, it will be more time-consuming.

The journey of redemption is full of dangers. Heretics regard the redeemers as traitors. Many former redeemers died in the hands of heretics. This is also the original intention of the journey of redemption, which consumes the strength of heretics.

The hardships and troubles of the journey to redemption are simply like seeking scriptures from the West.

After arriving in the Holy Land of Eden, if you collect the seals of approval from all the priests along the way and are still alive, you will be eligible to receive baptism from the Pope. The Pope will use the brilliance of the gods to torture the heart of the redeemer. This is not a formality, but a real one. of performing magic.

All the secrets of the Redeemer will be exposed to the sun. This is also the most difficult part. Those with evil intentions cannot hide it at all and will be directly imprisoned in the Inquisition. Those lunatics like to dissect all kinds of heretics. , there was once a heretic who wanted to infiltrate the church through the journey of redemption, but it failed without any accident.

As for the possibility of resistance... There are hundreds of thousands of priests in the Holy Land, shrouded in thousands of magical arts. The second the thought of resistance arises, they will probably turn into a pile of dregs.

But Ivo is not worried. Divine magic tortures the soul, which is equivalent to mind control. As long as his rank does not exceed that of the old man, he will not be attacked. Although the old man is very weak now, he is essentially a high-ranking being. Unless the gods themselves Come, otherwise the Pope will never be able to break through his spiritual barrier.

Prometheus thought that Ivo wanted to gain protection from the Holy See, but he was destined to be wrong.

In order to fulfill Augusta's agreement, Ivo said "The crow has three eyes" to the Pope alone and unlocked the restrictions of the mana furnace. This was his true intention.

Speaking of which, he still doesn't understand the meaning of this sentence. Augusta's original words were that this could save the world. Ivo always felt that the ancient god had deceived him.

Alas, poor old man.

Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Ivo put away the Seal of Salvation and nodded: "Thank you very much, Bishop Prometheus."
