Demon Royal Family

On the fifteenth day of the Frost Moon, the warm and moist wind no longer blew in the southern riverlands, and the coldness of winter was reflected in the thickened coats of travelers.

The Riverlands is a vast riverbank directly south of the Odin Empire. The raging Milton River crosses here. It is humid and warm. The Green Castle Principality of the Odin Empire's Grand Duke Huther Hanton Wilson is located here.

Midsummer is the most beautiful season in the Riverlands. The low shrubs, lush canopies, endless green slopes, and the tranquil long river as transparent as a mirror are like the fertile fields in dreams. The smell of flowers and green leaves is refreshing. Countless merchants and travelers , mercenaries were attracted. The Principality of Green Castle was prosperous, peaceful, and full of opportunities. It was a land of wealth and adventure. The people of the Riverlands were enthusiastic and unrestrained. Even the great nobles of August City were willing to spend their time every summer. A month to spend a wonderful holiday in the Riverlands.

The bards sung the adventure legends of the south, and the riverlands were the stage for many writers from Augustus to write beautiful stories about warriors and princesses.

Stepping onto the road in the Riverlands, you are surrounded by travelers, including the lively merchant cavalry, mercenaries chatting and laughing loudly, travelers walking slowly, and knights from the Principality of Green Castle.

Ivo mingled among the crowd, wearing a black cloak. His burly body looked very difficult to deal with. He encountered no trouble along the way. The Chapter of Redemption already had nineteen magical marks. After deciding to coerce the priest, the progress was like Like riding a rocket.

The Summer City of the Principality of Green Castle is far away in sight. Ivo flows into the city with the people. What he sees is the bustling prosperity and what he hears is the peaceful music of carefree people running for life.

The sun was gradually setting in the west. He usually started at night and spent more than an hour visiting the churches in Summer City. There were many believers in the Riverlands, the churches were magnificent, the person in charge was a senior priest, and there were many priests.

After roughly understanding the terrain near the church, Ivo found a tavern, drank malt wine quietly, and thought about the action plan. The night could hide the Little Devil No. 1, explore the detailed terrain, and then sneak in without alerting other priests. Go down and find the Archpriest.

"Monitor..." Ivo tapped his fingers three times on the table habitually, lowered his head and muttered. Every time he threatened the priest before, he encountered the surveillance of the church. He felt that the person under surveillance was different every time. Ting must have known what he was doing, but did not stop him. The holy land must have turned into a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. He coerced the priest and violated the rules of the redemption journey, but it did not end the redemption journey immediately.

No matter what the church thinks, you should do whatever you want.

In addition to the monitor, Ivo can sense the imminent crisis. After nearly a month of chasing, Luna is likely to be close, and he must always be prepared for a hard fight.

Sitting in the corner of the tavern were four adventurers wearing armor, a middle-aged man, a pair of twin brothers, and a young woman wearing leather armor and carrying a long bow.

Nita, the captain of the powerful warriors, two agile warriors, Los and Roger, and a female archer, Sheidi, formed a small team.

Cidi asked: "Captain, what are we doing in the Riverlands?"

Nita said: "An old friend invited me to come to Summer City as a guest."

"Old friend?"

"A priest from the Summer City Church is a good friend of mine. He invited me to stay in the church temporarily." Nita looked pious, and the twin brothers looked happy when they heard this. They are loyal believers. Hidi curled her lips and said nothing. say what.

…

At this time, in the church of Summer City, in the great priest's bedroom, the deacon and the great priest in priest robes were sitting opposite each other, drinking the famous black tea of ​​the Principality of Green Castle.

"Deacon Das, my old friend, why did you come to visit me suddenly?" the high priest of Summer City said with a smile.

"Official business, you know, surveillance of the Redeemers." Das's eyes were sharp. Before becoming a deacon, he had been a member of the Inquisition.

The high priest lowered his voice, "What do you think of the Redeemer?"

Das' eyes flashed, "You know my attitude towards heretics, they are all bastards who deserve to go to hell."

"The Holy See has stipulated that the Night Watchers are not allowed to take action against the Redeemer."

"Rules are made to be broken, and if the Redeemers killed people in a church, no one would accuse the Night Watchmen of taking action."

The high priest touched his chin, "Have you chosen your target?"

"I chose a few ordinary adventurers. Although they have nothing to do with the Holy See, they are enough to serve as an excuse." Das said lightly.

"Then how many people did you bring?"

"Twelve judges." Das smiled coldly, "That's enough."

…

Late at night, everything is silent.

The lights in the church were extinguished. In the darkness, Ivo quietly came to the outer wall of the church, released Little Devil 1, and explored the terrain under the cover of night.

Not long after, Little Devil No. 1 sent feedback and found the residence of the great priest.

Ivo took a deep breath and concentrated on amplifying his perception. His sense of smell and hearing roughly painted the environment in the darkness in his mind.

"There are two priests behind the outer wall, talking... Next to it are bushes, all the way to the corridor..." Ivo climbed up the outer wall lightly, turned over and jumped into the bushes, standing on tiptoes to suppress the sound of falling. The lowest, quietly hidden in the bushes.

There was chatter not far away.

"there's noise."

"It seemed like the bushes were shaking."

"Maybe it's the wind."

After waiting for a while, seeing that the two priests had no intention of coming to check, Ivo walked hunched over like a civet cat, sneaked into the corridor, and walked into the church from the side.

Following the information from Little Devil No. 1, Ivo avoided the two waves of priests on the road and arrived outside the great priest's bedroom.

He opened the door gently and took a quick glance. The high priest was sitting at the table with his back to him, reading a book under the oil lamp.

Ivo flashed into the bedroom, pulled out a long knife and put it on the high priest's shoulder, saying in a deep voice: "Turn around."

The high priest paused and turned around slowly, "What do you want?"

"Divine Seal." Ivo took out the Seal of Redemption.

"Is this a threat?"

Ivo increased the strength of his sword and said in a deep voice: "You are right."

"It seems I have no choice." The high priest rolled his eyes and obediently left the magic mark, which was so smooth that Ivo was surprised.

Ivo was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly there was an exclamation outside the door, and four young people who looked like adventurers discovered Ivo.

Nita shouted: "Who are you? Put the knife away!"

The high priest shouted: "Catch him, he is a heretic!"

Hearing this, the adventurer team immediately took action and surrounded Ivo. Sidira fired her bow and arrow, Nita protected him in front of him, Los and Roger attacked with their swords, their speed was remarkable.

Ivo swung his long knife horizontally and easily blocked the two attacks with two bangs. He glanced at the high priest in confusion. The high priest's calm expression made him feel strange, as if he had premeditated it.

What's the conspiracy? To yourself or to someone else?

Ivo secretly increased his vigilance and casually fought with the four Nita people. The strength of these four people was only around level 5, so there was no pressure to deal with them.

At this moment, the priests in the church were awakened by the sound of fighting, and everything lit up. The priests gathered,

The courtyard, windows, and corridors were full of priests arriving. Ivo frowned. The priests all had magical powers. Although he was not afraid of them, it was difficult to leave without hurting anyone.

At that moment, he stopped fighting and whipped Nita away with a whip, then broke through the window and prepared to escape.
