Demon Royal Family

Noon the next day.

In the city lord's palace in Hammer Harbor, Luo Lian sat at one end of the long table with a napkin tied around his neck. He was cutting a piece of butter with a table knife and spreading it on the fragrant toast. The lunch was very rich, including three mature beef tenderloin steaks, half a Roast chicken with tender skin and golden color, Patrice red wine, which ranks eighth among all Odin wines, has a mellow taste and is reasonably priced, as well as a plate of bright red cherries and a plate of amethyst-like grapes.

Rolian is not considered a noble. The continent of Odin has a huge population, and the selection and promotion of nobles are hundreds of times stricter than Frigga. Of course, the power in his hands is also greater. A baron can be in charge of a medium-sized territory, the highest duke. You can even have a principality, but even so, due to the influence of the population base, the number of nobles is still very large.

Under the strict selection system, many imperial officials do not have noble titles. Although they hold certain powers, they do not have any say in the parliament of nobles. Rolian falls into this category. He was sent by Baron Braley to manage the Hammer. The small lord of the port, Baron Bray, is his backer. There are many small lords like him, so he is very interested in the treasure that Baron Bray lost near the Hammer Harbor. This is an opportunity to please him.

A servant came in and said respectfully: "Lord, they have taken action."

Luo Lian asked his men to keep an eye on the movements of the five Ivos yesterday. He wiped his lips and asked, "What action?"

"They set off in the morning and headed for the mountains and forests behind."

A satisfied smile appeared on Rorian's lips, "Very good. I hope these guys can find Lord Braley's lost treasure soon."

…

The woods in the Prayer Month are golden yellow. Different from the Hokuriku where the weather is freezing and the snow falls all over the place, the Odin Continent has a suitable climate and has four distinct seasons. Only the Evening Star and Dawn Moon snow. September is a distinctive autumn with mountains covered with snow. Golden, carrying the withered fragrance of yellow leaves in the wind.

The five of them were walking in the mountains and forests. Ivo was at the front to open the way, Barlow was at the rear, and Hades and Ander were guarding Nafi in the middle. It was a standard five-person combat formation. There were warriors in the team who attacked from the front, and some who assassinated from behind. Assassins, there are wizards who can attack, defend and assist, there are swordsmen who can stand alone, and there is also a weirdo who can only defend, the team composition is comprehensive.

Yesterday, the five people gathered intelligence separately, but did not gain much, so Ivo decided to take direct action. He did not understand the terrain, so he hired a guide to lead them into the mountains and forests.

This guide is an old local hunter. According to him, there are few wild beasts in the mountains and forests behind the port. A snow-white leopard is the king of the mountains and forests. He once saw a leopard and escaped with his life, leaving three scars on his abdomen.

"I have been hunting here for almost ten years, and this mountain forest is as familiar as my backyard." The old hunter vowed.

Ivo nodded, "Please."

The old hunter would squat down from time to time, twisting up the soil and tasting it. He could identify the traces of wild beasts. Ivo and others followed him leisurely.

Gradually going deeper into the forest, the old hunter tasted the soil and his expression changed, "It smells like wild beasts, everyone, be careful."

Ender pointed to the tree next to him. There were three very clear claw marks on the trunk. He looked helpless and said, "We have known this for a long time."

The old hunter looked embarrassed. He looked at the claw marks on the tree and his expression changed drastically. "The claw marks are very new. This is the mark of the king of the forest. Let's leave quickly."

Ivo raised his brows and drew out his two swords, "It seems it's too late."

There was a rustling sound in the forest, and a golden leopard eye was revealed from the gap in the grass. A leopard as white as snow walked out, staring coldly at everyone, licking its nose with its tongue, and the leopard's eyes were full of bloodthirsty. color.

The old hunter had a look of fear on his face, trembling all over, and hurriedly backed away, "That's it, let's run away!"

No one cared about him, Nafei said in surprise: "Snow leopards that only appear in ice fields?"

Ivo's eyes lit up, "I'll take care of it."

The snow leopard roared softly and rushed towards Ivo, waving its sharp claws and letting the strong wind hit his face.

Quickly raising the long knife to block the heavy claw attack, Ivo's arm holding the knife sank. He quickly estimated the Snow Leopard's strength, which was only bronze level, and his face relaxed.

Bronze level, not a strong enemy.

The snow leopard has a strong body, strong winds whip up when he moves, and the yellow leaves around him fall rustlingly. Ivo's two swords are quick, blocking every attack. He steps back slightly, and the two swords suddenly clamp the snow leopard's right paw, staggering. Cut it down and cut off the snow leopard's almost steel claws.

He suddenly grasped the right hand that had lost its claws, used the strength of his arm to pull the snow leopard into his arms, and kicked the snow leopard in the abdomen. The double force exploded on the snow leopard's soft belly. The snow leopard let out a shrill scream and flew far away. Go out and hit a tree.

Summoning his strong physical strength, Ivo kicked off a small tree with a bang and threw it at the snow leopard, causing the leopard to roll on the ground and splashing large amounts of mud.

The snow leopard turned over and bounced up, its snow-white fur stained with the soil, and slowly retreated, ready to turn back and flee into the forest. Ivo's strength frightened it, and it stared at Ivo, guarding against his attack.

He shook his hand and threw a long knife. The Snow Leopard, who had been prepared, jumped to the side. The rotating long knife was inserted into the position where the Snow Leopard originally stood, only thirty centimeters away from the Snow Leopard.

Ivo let out a breath, held another knife in his hand, and poured power into his feet. A piece of soil exploded under his feet, like a frog kicking his legs, and he jumped out in an instant, like a fleeting shadow.

The scenery in his sight blurred due to the instantaneous acceleration. He dragged the cold light of a long knife like a tail and passed by the snow leopard. Even though the snow leopard was always vigilant, it only had enough time to react, turning its body sideways, and the blade cut a slit on the snow leopard's body. A long, narrow wound.

Blood splattered everywhere!

The snow leopard felt pain, jumped far away, turned around and climbed up a tree.

While Ivo passed by the snow leopard, he grabbed the long knife nailed to the ground, raised his hand and threw it again. With his skill in throwing spears, he didn't need to aim too much to hit the target accurately.

The long knife shot quickly, piercing the snow leopard's hind legs and nailing it to the tree.

Facing a black iron-level snow leopard, Ivo didn't feel any pressure. He jumped up the tree and stabbed the snow leopard in the heart.

The old Orion turned around and froze in place as he turned to run away, his eyes widened and his face looked shocked.

Before he could escape, Ivo dispatched the so-called King of the Mountain.

Ignoring the shocked guide, Ivo threw the snow leopard's body down the tree.

"Eat this today?" Ender wiped his lips.

Ivo sheathed the knife and rummaged through the snow leopard's fur. Suddenly his eyes focused and he found a circle of sunken fur around the snow leopard's neck, as if it was often wearing a collar.

"This is a pet." Nafei's eyes lit up.

There is a wild beast in this mountain forest, which is probably harboring a robber.

"Very good, the clue is broken." Ivo touched his chin helplessly, "Maybe I should take action slower next time."

"I have a way." Nafei smiled softly, took out a small bottle, poured the fine white sand in the bottle into her palm, and sang softly: "O dying person, the stagnant place of return is your destination. However, I am willing to give you the mission of returning to the world of the sun. Eternal silence is just torture, and short-term freshness is life..."

The fine sand in Nafi's palm slowly drifted away, turning into two wisps of mist, which penetrated into the nose of the snow leopard's corpse.

The snow leopard opened his eyes suddenly, but his pupils turned gray-white.

The "corpse" slowly stood up and limped toward the depths of the mountain forest.

Ivo swallowed, "Necromancer?"

Nafi stood up and said with a smile: "I'm currently studying it, follow it."

Ivo shuddered when he thought that his future wife would like to dissect corpses, and the gloating looks from Barlow and Ender made him suffocated.

Following the undead snow leopard, everyone came to an inaccessible canyon in the mountain forest, with vines hanging all over the rock walls.

At the mouth of the canyon, there is a wooden fence covered by trees.

Ivo raised his eyebrows and said, "Found it."

"Go in directly?" Barlow was eager to give it a try.

Ivo opened his collar, and Little Devil No. 1 swayed out.

Ivo said in a doting tone, "My little baby, it's up to you."

The four of them suddenly felt a chill.
