Demon Royal Family

Harrican Line of Defense... is now called New Laces City. In the royal palace in the center of the city, Severn III was approving documents in the luxurious study room, his brows were furrowed, his lips were pursed, and his expression was very serious.

Ever since Ivo destroyed the Holy Land, he has been in a very sad mood. Because Ivo holds the Golden Cross, the Kingdom of Lassis has encountered censure and questioning from major empires.

The significance of the Golden Cross is that the issuing country will be responsible for all the actions of the holder.

Severn III regretted that he originally awarded Ivo the Golden Cross in order to tie him tightly. Unexpectedly, Ivo committed a shocking evil deed and Lassese was implicated.

The pressure from all sides made Severn III unbearable, and he wanted to kill Ivo and use his head to calm the anger of various countries.

Under the severe situation, Severn III ignored Ivo's contribution to the kingdom, captured Ivo's personnel left at Harricon's defense into the dungeon, and confiscated Ivo's assets. However, Ivo's reputation in the Harrican Defense Line was too high, and his behavior almost caused riots in the city.

In fact, when Severn III learned of Ivo's evil deeds, he collaborated with the nobles to spread some rumors that slandered Ivo's reputation, hoping to reduce Ivo's influence in Lasces.

However, the king miscalculated, and the people of Rasese did not believe these rumors at all. Even after confirming Ivo's evil deeds, the millions of people on the Harrican Defense Line still worshiped Ivo as they did.

Because the Harricon Line is the place with the highest tolerance for Ivo's heretical identity.

During the Hokuriku War, Ivo had shown his heretical status. The people here had long been mentally prepared, and throwing dirty water could not erase Ivo's achievements.

This made Severn III fear Ivo from the bottom of his heart, and he was even more determined to get rid of Ivo.

Executing Ivo's subordinates will only anger Ivo. Severn III has a cautious character - it can also be said to be timid. He wants to gain benefits but does not want to take risks. After all, Ivo is now famous and no one knows what he has. the power of.

So Severn III came up with a plan to temporarily imprison Ivo's subordinates and use them as bait for transactions in exchange for the Golden Cross in Ivo's hands to relieve the pressure on various countries. This is the first step.

Then he deliberately released a large number of Ivo's assets, so that they could only leave by land, secretly passed the information to Barria and Renault, and used these two countries that were hostile to Ivo to get rid of him. In the eyes of Severn III, this The trap can not only avoid angering Ivo, but also remove a serious concern, which is very cost-effective.

Severn III was very jealous of Ivo's assets left in Harricon's defense line, but in his eyes, getting rid of Ivo was more important, so he endured the pain and did not confiscate Ivo's assets, but used them as bait. But Severn III was still not sure whether Ivo would take the bait.

After Severn III finished approving the documents with great concern, a guard came in and presented a letter with both hands, "Your Majesty the King, this is the letter found at the entrance of the palace."

Severn III frowned, "This kind of thing of unknown origin should be handed over to the Palace Mage Group, and then handed over to me after confirming that there is no magic aura."

The guard said in panic: "Your Majesty, the Palace Mage Group has checked it. The content inside is very important. This is a letter from Duke Ivo Harricon."

Severn III suddenly stood up, grabbed the letter, and couldn't wait to read it.

This letter was delivered to the royal family through the intelligence network. It contained Ivo's attitude and said that he would come to meet with the king after a while to discuss the captives.

"Haha, he really took the bait!" Seven III was overjoyed.

Seeing that Ivo finally stepped into the trap, Severn III was in a good mood, and his depression was gone. He quickly wrote two secret letters and asked the guards to hand them over to the messenger office.

The two secret letters were to be sent to Barea and Reno respectively, with Severn III informing the two kingdoms that "the prey has stepped into the trap and is ready to be hunted."

…

The sacred eagle flew across the sky and landed on a white arm on the rooftop of the Bahria Palace Castle. The owner of this arm was a red-haired woman with a hot figure and beautiful appearance wearing an exquisite red dress. She was Because the king was seriously ill, the ministers unanimously elected Princess Ivel Barea as the regent queen.

Awell gently stroked the letter eagle's head, took out the secret message from the mailbox, and read it quickly.

"Ivo Harricon..."

This name evoked memories that Elvir was unwilling to face. Her calm heart was inexplicably agitated. A hint of loss and complexity flashed in her bright eyes. She sighed slightly and whispered to herself.

"It's really sad, Ivo, even your country has given up on you... If you had chosen to marry me, even if you were the enemy of the world, Barea would not be as ungrateful as Lasses."

…

Ivo's fleet now has six ships, including the Captain Wind, a Palatine battleship, and four semi-combatant armed merchant ships.

After replenishing supplies at the desert island stronghold, the six ships began sailing north to the Horn of the North.

The farther north you go, the ice floes on the frozen sea become denser and denser, and the weather becomes colder and colder. All the islands you can see are covered with ice and snow, pure white, and the giant icebergs form the strait. It is very spectacular, but it is a pity that it is frozen. The dog sailors had no intention of admiring it.

Only a few navigators in history have succeeded in sailing to the far north of the world. Compared to the gloomy sailors, Gordo was very excited. He liked the challenge of sailing.

Fortunately, the supplies Gavin carried were extremely large, which supported the heating consumption and prevented the sailors from freezing to death.

Ivo read some navigation books and found that the Cape of Northland was the last piece of land in the north. He thought that further north there might be an ice land similar to the North Pole of the Earth, but unfortunately there was not. The further north was all ocean, which belonged to the frozen sea area. .

The Far Summer Sea and the Frozen Sea are two seas belonging to the north and south of the world.

It takes longer to go around the Frigga continent from the south coast to the north coast than to cross the Sungai Ocean. There is no giant ocean current in Hokuriku whose cause is a mystery, so we can only sail honestly, encountering countless disasters along the way. , tsunamis, whirlpools, cold currents, iceberg collisions... there were many disasters, but we still survived.

The dangerous voyage numbed everyone's sense of time, and before they knew it, seventy-three days passed quietly.

…

"Captain, there is a huge cliff ahead!"

The sailors' exclamations rang out on the deck, and Ivo quickly walked out of the captain's cabin and looked ahead.

In the distance stands a cliff more than thirty meters high on the sea, extending from the land to the sea, with no end as far as the eye can see. It seems to be separated from the sea, like a single horn growing out of the land plate.

Ivo's eyes lit up and he laughed, "That's the Horn of the North!"

The sailors cheered.

"We're finally here!"

"Haha, this is the extreme north of the world!"

“This is the greatest cruise I’ve ever been on!”

"I can play in the pub for the rest of my life!"

Gordo looked excited, "We conquered the Horn of the North, which is enough to leave our name in history!"

Ender looked at the cliff curiously, "So the end of the Hokuriku looks like this."

Ivo knocked on the railing and said, "Don't get too happy too early. Find a place to park first."
