Demon Royal Family

The cardinal archbishop has his own church. Ivo, dressed in a white priest's robe, came outside Benedro's church. The Templar guarding the door knew Ivo, a "big celebrity", and reluctantly informed him that Ivo had gone all the way. Unimpeded access to the First Cardinal Benedero.

Benedro, who looked like a dog's tail with a braised egg in it, took the document from Ivo's hand, but was not in a hurry to read it. He looked Ivo up and down with interest and said, "You are different from what I imagined. "

Ivo raised his eyebrows, "I'm more handsome than you think?"

"...Hehehe, the young man is thick-skinned and is a person who does big things." Benedro combed a bunch of white hair on the top of his head, his expression was like a wrinkled braised egg, "I heard that you met Austria a few years ago. Gusta?”

"Yes."

"You are destined to our church."

Ivo's mouth twitched, "That was not a pleasant meeting."

"Augusta is one of my disciples. He is a young man who is so pious that he is almost stubborn." Benedro sighed.

When someone is eighty or ninety years old and you still call him a young man, how do you make Augusta National feel?

Ivo agreed casually, "You are indeed stubborn enough to actually use your life as a sacrifice to the ancient gods."

The two chatted for a while, and Benedero put down his airs as a red archbishop, and his easy-going tone was sure to surprise those who knew him. He was usually a serious old man, and rarely spoke so much to his subordinates. However, today I made an exception, purely because of my curiosity about Ivo.

The priests and deacons he usually comes into contact with are all elites trained by the church since childhood. Although they are excellent, their actions are standardized and rigid. They are all trembling and fearful in the face of him, a cardinal. Iwo Yeluzi was born in , was once a heretic that was opposed to the Holy See, but it was not so restrictive to the top leaders of the Holy See, which gave Benedero something to talk about.

Facing subservient subordinates is far less interesting than communicating on an equal footing.

After chatting for a while, Ivo took his leave.

Benedero still had more to say, Ivo had a vast knowledge and could talk about all over the world. It had been a long time since he had such a pleasant conversation.

…

For several days in a row, Ivo had more and more tasks every day. He didn't know that the Pope and the Patriarch were trying to guess his personality through his performance, so he just completed these tasks on his own.

The pope's direct contacts were basically big shots. When running errands, Ivo met most of the cardinals. Except for Benedero, everyone else had an indifferent attitude towards him.

Except for another cardinal named Delpassani, who seemed to be interested in Ivo and would chat with him every time. However, Ivo intuitively felt an indescribable fear of Delpassani.

During this time, Ivo noticed that the eyes of his colleague Theon were getting colder and colder.

There was a slight movement in his heart, "This guy won't give me any trouble, will he? I have to be careful."

Less than half a month passed, and Ivo gradually adapted to the life of the church. In addition to performing "devout" morning prayers and evening prayers every day, Ivo spent the rest of his time switching between being on call and running errands.

After Augusta's wish was fulfilled, the restrictions of the mana furnace disappeared. It was only temporarily sealed by the [Magic Pump] and Ivo could not feel it. He did not trust the mages of the Holy Court Wizard Hall and was preparing to reunite with Nafi. Finally, let the beautiful wizard fiancée lift the seal of the [Magic Pump].

To lift the seal, you have to take off your clothes. Maybe you can reproduce a wave of offspring by the way. Just thinking about it makes you drool.

…

On this day, a piece of information reached the church. There were clues that a large number of heretical sympathizers had appeared in August City. The church in the capital of the empire asked the headquarters for support.

The Pope attached great importance to it and summoned the most experienced Xion, saying: "You are familiar with Augustus City, and set out with the night watchman of the Judgment Office to find clues to the Heretic Cooperation Society, and provide combat support if necessary."

Xion bowed his head in fear and said: "Your Majesty, I have not left the Holy Land for three years and have almost forgotten all the knowledge of adventure. Moreover, I have never been in contact with heretics and do not understand them. I am not the best candidate for this task. "

The pope looked slightly strange. Xion had been with him for a long time and had always been very active. This was the first time he raised objections. His mind changed and he understood a little. He followed Xion's words and asked: "Then who do you think is the most suitable?" Candidate?"

Theon shook his head, "To be qualified for this mission, you must have rich adventure experience and be familiar with the heretic's way of doing things. It is enough to have the night watchman of the Inquisition. Why do you need your deacon to accompany you?"

"This is a requirement of the tribunal. They need someone who can represent my identity and contact the nobles of the Odin Empire to facilitate the search."

Xion nodded respectfully, "So that's it. The candidate for this mission should have noble status."

A strange smile flashed in the Pope's eyes, and he muttered: "You go down first, I will think about it later."

Theon returned to the cubicle and waited.

Not long after, Ivo was called in.

The Pope said: "I have a task for you..." He repeated the task just now.

Ivo was a little surprised that he received an assignment not long after joining. He nodded and accepted. After learning the meeting time and mission goal with the night watchman, he returned to his room and packed his luggage.

In the cubicle, the corners of Xion's lips curled up into a successful sneer. As the oldest deacon around the Pope, he had extensive connections in the Vatican. The conditions for the Pope's deacons to accompany him were unearthed by him and his friends at the Inquisition. The target of the trap is Ivo.

Theon was sure that he was the first choice for the mission, so he took the initiative to quit, and secretly praised Ivo with his words, secretly guiding Ivo to become the second choice. He made an appointment with the accompanying Night Watchman, and once the mission was completed, If there is a chance, he will get rid of Ivo in the wild and falsely report that he died unexpectedly due to a heretic attack.

The first step of the plan was successful. Maybe the next time he meets Ivo, the other person will be a corpse. Theon felt happy and very proud. He could dig a trap with just a little effort and easily take away the enemy's life without being exposed. Own.

Theon was in a happy mood.

…

The Patriarch suddenly said, "You know your deacon is using you, right?"

There was a smile in the Pope's eyes, "Of course I know, this might not be a good opportunity to observe Ivo."

Saint Joseph took out a crystal ball and observed Ivo's actions from a bird's eye view.

This crystal ball is solidified with advanced insight spells, which can monitor a person from a distance. The condition of use is to leave a mark on the target. When he just ordered the task, the Pope has quietly left an insight mark on Ivo, as a legendary field A strong man can do a little tricks without leaving any trace.

The Patriarch looked at the crystal ball with interest in his eyes.

The two boss-level figures suddenly turned into elderly voyeurs.

Xion didn't know that his little thoughts had been seen through by two old guys who had lived for more than a hundred years.

…

The departure time is tomorrow. Ivo simply packed his luggage and went to the outer city to inform Luna.

Halfway through, he was suddenly stopped by someone. Ivo recognized him. He was the priest who sent him to the Holy Land half a month ago. His name seemed to be Samu.

"What's the matter?" Ivo asked in surprise.

Samu looked excited, "I just want to thank you."

"Thank me?" Ivo was confused.

"Thanks to you for mentioning me in front of Mr. Delpasani, the Cardinal Archbishop spoke and had the Office of Human Resources restore my status as bishop."

Ivo was stunned. He had never told Delpassani about this. He asked doubtfully, "Where did you hear about it?"

"This is what the cardinal's deacon secretly told me..." He told the story of how he was angered by Ivo's influence and how he was restored to his identity by the cardinal.

Samu was the first priest who took the initiative to contact Ivo these days. It seemed that the members of the church had reached a consensus to exclude Ivo. He noticed the surprised eyes of his colleagues who passed by, smiled coquettishly, and quickly said goodbye and left.

Ivo stood there, frowning and thinking about the meaning of Delpasani's move, and his mind was spinning. Could this be an indirect gesture of goodwill to him through Samu?

It's strange, why can I, a newcomer who has just joined the church, let a big shot show my favor?

It probably has nothing to do with me, Ivo thought.

Because Ivo rarely interacts with priests, he does not know that the selection of the next pope and patriarch is going on secretly. The game between the big shots is in full swing. Each priest has his own candidate. Only Ivo is excluded. Stay out of it.

Delpasani was indeed showing his goodwill. After Ivo gained the favor of the Pope, he felt that Ivo had value in winning over him, so he asked for advice through Samu.
