Demon Royal Family

After a night of turmoil, Ivo rested in the tribe until the next morning. On the surface, he got along well with the tribesmen, but in fact he felt a slight alienation in his heart. The tribesmen he used to get along with day and night turned out to be his ancestors hundreds of years ago. Ivo always has something to say. A feeling of disillusionment, a tight toothache, and the only thing that has not been affected is the relationship with my father.

Early the next morning, Ivo approached Anthony and asked for the teleportation array beacon. Anthony stopped Ivo and handed a box to Ivo. Ivo opened it and took a look. The smell of blood rushed into his nose and he almost choked. The box contained a purple heart with golden lines on it.

"What is this?" Ivo had a vague premonition.

"Amers learned about your deal with the Black Queen from Shadow, and he asked me to give you the heart of the Mimic," Anthony explained: "The essence of the Mimic is condensed in the heart, and Ames will dig it out. Out of the heart of every dead Mimic."

Ivo was speechless. Ames had no moral sense at all. He made the best use of the corpses of his own race. They were raw and bloody. He couldn't say anything. He accepted the Mimic's heart. He wasn't going to give it to Luna right away. At least He won't take it out until after the transaction time limit.

Although he criticized Emers's approach, this heart did relieve his own worries and save a lot of effort.

Ivo touched his chin and had new doubts, and asked: "If the weakening of the soul affects the soul, then the body should not decay. Why can't we take turns using the same body?"

Anthony shook his head, "This is not feasible. The soul and the body are two indispensable parts of life. Once the soul is lost, the body will die and the brain will close immediately. Only the brain of an infant is still growing, and foreign souls can Taking root and penetrating the body, the adult Mimic's brain is very strong and difficult to invade without soul grafting, so we cannot use the same body continuously."

Ivo suddenly realized.

After spending a morning in the tribe, Ivo chose to write down part of what he saw in the Holy Land before leaving, omitting information about himself and leaving the speculations about the Pope and the Ragnarok to Ames. Although they have different philosophies, Ivo is not willing for the tribe to go astray due to backward intelligence. The tribe is the only force that knows the truth about the gods from his mouth, and he regards it as repayment to the tribe.

After everything was settled, Ivo left the Cold Valley tribe and walked into the wind and snow.

…

The bonfire was burning brightly, and Ender stretched out his hands to keep warm, complaining: "It's been a day, why hasn't Ivo come back?"

Barlow, who was lying on his back taking a nap, opened his eyes and said angrily: "You have said this seventeen times, can you please stop saying it."

Ender was angrily tinkering with the bonfire with pine branches and chatting with Barlow. Luna sat on the side with her eyes closed to relax. She suddenly opened her eyes and said calmly: "He's back."

Ender and Barlow heard the sound and went out, snowflakes drifted into the cave entrance. Ivo, who had been away all night, finally came back. He nodded to everyone, took off his cloak, shook off the snow on the ground, and sat beside the bonfire to commit suicide. He was warming himself by the fire without saying a word.

Ender was slightly startled. He felt that the Ivo in front of him seemed to be a little different, but he couldn't tell exactly what had changed. If Ivo gave people a masculine impression at first glance before, his temperament now became more refined.

"It's so strange..." Ander scratched his head, wondering what the explanation was.

After Ivo waited for his body to warm up, he stood up and said, "It's getting late. Let's set off quickly and reach the next stronghold before dark."

Everyone nodded and headed south.

Under the leadership of Ivo, the guide, after a near-miss journey, the snow forest gradually thinned out, and a vast ice field appeared in sight. It was the uninhabited land in the north of Frigga, outside the Cold Night Mountains.

"We finally made it out!" Ander, whose face was covered with snow slag, was very excited. "We actually crossed the Cold Night Mountains."

"Calm down, we have to walk again when we return." Barlow picked his ears.

Ivo lowered his head and relayed some information to Gavin, then called out Niebuldan and said: "Don't waste time, let's go."

The four of them stepped onto the dragon's back, and the frost dragon took off into the air and flew towards the Kingdom of Lasces.

…

After several years of recuperation in the northern border of Lasas, the scars caused by the war gradually recovered, and the northern fortress was re-established. Three thousand soldiers were stationed here for a long time, serving as a barrier to the north to resist the invasion of the northern orcs. The biggest threat to the north of Lasces is the northern orc tribes. Ivo once eliminated one of the most threatening northern orc tribes, and there are many scattered tribes outside the northern border of Lasces. However, compared with the western border adjacent to Barea and the southern border adjacent to Reno, the northern border is relatively safe, and the sentries standing guard on the fortress walls are sometimes lazy.

It's freezing cold in the north, and standing guard on the city wall is a hard job. Even if the armor is lined with cotton, it still feels bone-chilling cold. No one wants to deal with the task of standing guard seriously. It can save trouble, and it can't be seen by the supervisor. There, the sentries huddled under the battlements in twos and threes, using the walls to resist the bone-chilling wind, shivering from the cold.

"Alas, the kingdom finally got rid of the shadow of war. Within two days of peace, chaos will begin again."

Under a wall, three sentries huddled together for warmth, and an old sentry complained.

Another young soldier retorted: "It's not that serious. I heard that Barea and Renault only verbally condemned the kingdom and it was impossible to start a fight. The deterrent effect of the Harricon Line of Defense is still there."

The old sentry sneered: "Hey, the kingdom was involved in new dangers because of the Duke of the Golden Cross."

"You can't say that. Without Duke Ivo, the kingdom would have been destroyed during the Northland War."

The old sentry muttered: "Of course I understand, who knew Duke Ivo would do such a terrible thing... Do you think he will come back?"

The young soldier scratched his head, "I don't know... I heard that the royal family has not revoked Ivo's dukedom. After all, he is a great contributor to the kingdom, and the kingdom should protect him."

"Don't be stupid. For the crime of destroying the Holy Land, he is completely on the opposite side of the Holy See. The Odin Empire, the St. Malo Empire, and the countries in the Southern Continent will put pressure on the kingdom. It is impossible for Lasces to protect Ivo."

The young soldier murmured: "Does the kingdom want to kill its own hero?"

"well……"

At this moment, the third sentry who did not interrupt suddenly pointed to the sky and whispered: "What is that?"

I saw a dragon shadow flashing through the clouds a thousand meters above, crossing the northern fortress and flying quickly towards the interior of Lasces. Although the dragon flew very high, the northern border was cloudless and the field of vision was vast. The sentry's observation was very keen and he saw the dragon.

The three of them looked at each other, got up quickly, and rang the alarm bell in a hurry.

"Dangdangdang——"

The urgent alarm bell woke up the fortress, and the commander of the fortress hurried to the city wall and asked in a deep voice: "What did you find?"

The old sentry said: "We saw a dragon shadow flying into the border."

The commander's expression changed. Normally, the discovery of dragons passing through the border would be at best a low-level alarm. However, a few months ago, the royal family had already issued an order. Once traces of dragons were discovered, it would be upgraded to the highest alert and reported to the royal capital immediately.

All the soldiers know that what Lasseth cares about is not a dragon, but the person who may appear behind the dragon, the legend of Lasses-Ivo Harricon!

His mount is a dragon!

The fortress commander immediately said: "Send the news back to the capital! Immediately!"

The soldiers looked at each other, and someone whispered the suspicion lingering in everyone's mind.

"He...is he back?"
