Demon Royal Family

The Odin Empire rules the entire continent, divided into thirty-four provinces. The area of ​​a province is comparable to half of the kingdom of the Northern Continent. It is vast in area, but the population is not sparse. On the Odin Continent, you can find almost any province. Race, the human race occupies the leading position. Under the "Just Agreement" and complete laws, all races live in harmony.

The bases of a large number of races are located in Odin, the three kings of the dwarves, the forest kingdom of the high elves and light elves, the steel fortress of the goblins, the united tribe of the red orcs, the scarlet lake of the vampires, the blue moon of the werewolves...

The royal family of the Odin Empire cooperates deeply with the Holy See. Royal power and divine power coexist on this land. People devote their loyalty to the king and their faith to the pope. Churches were distributed in every city, and the bishop had jurisdiction over all the church members in a province.

In the words of the bard, the Odin Empire is a prosperous country with rivers of gold flowing and crystal palaces towering, and it is the well-deserved center of the world.

A large number of well-known and huge forces are located in Odin, the Holy See, the mysterious and noble Nine Towers of Wizards, the Holy Tree City where knowledge is supreme, the Magician Academy, the pinnacle of the Dragon Whisperer, the Holy Land of Truth for alchemists, and the origin of the Yuanling Envoy. Palace, entrance to the underground world...

In Ivo's eyes, the first impression Odin left on him was that of elegance, luxury, prosperity, grandeur, and glittering gold. It was a strange and vast new world that contained countless possibilities.

…

Hammer Harbor is a remote port on the southeastern coast of Odin. The church in the city looks in disrepair. The stained glass windows of the church are covered with vines, and dust accumulates in the gaps in the relief on the door.

Rolian, the Lord of Hammerport City, walked into the church, crossed the rows of benches, and came to the confessional. He said through the screen window: "Father Samuel,"

The church priest is named Samuel, and he is a low-level clergyman. There are countless churches on the continent of Odin. The more senior members of the church govern the larger city churches. Hammer Harbor is a remote town, and Samuel’s level is only higher than that of the clergyman. Offer a higher level of sacrifice.

Samuel walked out of the confession room, tapped his finger three times between his eyebrows, followed the common etiquette in Odin's continent, and asked: "Lord Rolian, do you have anything to do with me?"

Rolian chuckled, "The redeemer you talked about when you chatted with me last time actually came to Hammer Harbor. According to the rules of your church, he must accept one of your requests, right?"

Samuel lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes."

"Ivo Harricon, a figure who rose up in the Northern Continent War, escaped from Rothschild and was able to fight the Pirate King's crew undefeated. His strength is very good, stronger than the group of knights I raised." Luo Li An's eyes flashed with shrewdness, "Do me a favor and I will grant you enough funds to repair the church."

"Some time ago, a group of robbers plundered a knight escort team belonging to Baron Braley and robbed the wealth accumulated by the Baron. The group of robbers fled into the mountains and forests."

"Baron of Braley Territory?" Samuel was slightly surprised. Hammer Port also belongs to Braley Territory and is under the jurisdiction of Baron Braley. He is a big shot they need to please.

The largest regional divisions in the Odin Empire are principalities, then provinces, and then each province is divided into several or a dozen territories. Each territory governs some cities, an uncertain number, and the cities govern nearby towns.

Luo Lian said: "Ask the Redeemer to capture this bandit group and bring back all the wealth. I will grant you funds after success."

Samuel looked happy and said: "It's very simple, as you wish."

Luo Lian smiled with satisfaction. He was not willing to use his private army to wipe out the bandits. He spent a lot of money to raise the private army. Losing one of them would make him feel distressed. In his eyes, Ivo was almost a free thug. Need not.

Not only can he avoid the loss of the private army, but he can also regain the lost wealth of Baron Braley and please the baron. The price required is only the cost of repairing the church. Rolian feels that he is really smart.

…

"Is this a church? It looks quite shabby." Ender said in surprise.

Ivo, Nafi, Barlow, Hades and Ander stood at the door of the church. After Gavin took the people away, Ivo's team only had five people left. This was also his original plan, and he didn't need too many people. Join him on his journey of redemption.

"Go in." Ivo took a deep breath and pushed open the church door.

This is the first stop on the journey of redemption. It is impossible not to be nervous. From here on, Ivo will embark on a journey that he does not know what he will encounter.

Entering the church, Ivo found that it was very empty, with almost no priests. There was only one priest sitting on the bench in the front row, praying to the statue of God.

There are three statues of gods enshrined in the Hammer Harbor Church, the god King Odin of the Odin god series, the god Queen Shaga, and the sea god Neptune of the sky god series.

The Odin pantheon is a common belief among people in the Odin continent. It has the same status as the northern pantheon in the Frigga continent. As for Neptune, it is the belief of sailors. There are usually statues of Neptune in port churches.

Ivo came to the priest, took out the chapter of redemption, and whispered: "Hello, priest, I am Ivo Harricon, the executor of the journey of redemption."

Samuel raised his head and glanced at Ivo, "You can call me Father Samuel, I know your identity."

After the redemption journey is approved, the church will announce to all members the circumstances of the 49th redemption journey in history, as well as the identity of the redeemer, so that the redemption journey can proceed smoothly according to the rules.

Ivo said: "I am willing to find the light of kindness buried deep in my heart by the dust of desire. For this reason, I am willing to suffer and contribute my strength to the world. What tasks do you have for me?"

This is standard Redeemer rhetoric.

Father Samuel said: "My child, the Father in Heaven is willing to forgive you for your past mistakes. As long as you can find your dusty kind heart, the Kingdom of Heaven will always open the door to those who repent. There is one thing that you need to complete."

"In the mountains and forests behind Hammer Harbor, there is a group of bandits. Go and eliminate them, and move their hoarded wealth back to Hammer Harbor. After that, I will leave you in your chapter of redemption. Divine mark."

Ivo looked calm, "What are the characteristics of that group of robbers? What information can you share with me?"

"It was a bandit group of about two hundred people. They were entrenched in the mountains and forests. I don't know their exact location." Samuel said, "I don't have any extra information."

"Why did you give me this mission? Is this group of bandits looking after human lives? Attacking passers-by?"

Samuel's tone obviously paused, and then he slowly said: "It's almost the same. In short, your mission is to kill them all and regain their wealth."

Ivo took a deep look at Samuel, and the depth of his gaze made Samuel feel chilled. However, Ivo did not show any more signs, and just said lightly: "I understand."

Leaving Samuel behind, Ivo led the four of them out of the church.

The look in Ivo's mind before he left appeared in Samuel's mind. It was extremely profound, as if he had seen through his heart. I am afraid that Ivo's look at this moment will appear in Samuel's eyes for several days. Although Samuel didn't know the meaning of this glance, he felt inexplicably frightened.

After walking out of the church, Barlow said: "What a strange mission. We are asked to suppress bandits. What is the reason? It seems that the bandit group has nothing to do with the priest."

Ivo raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "It doesn't matter. I don't care about the reason. I only care about the mission. As long as the priest obediently leaves a mark of magic after I complete the mission, I don't care about anything else."

Nafei asked: "We have a mission, what should we do as the first step? Should we go find out the news, or should we go to the mountains and forests immediately to find the bandit group?"

"The information given by the priest is too little, let's collect it first." Ivo waved his hand, "We will split up and meet at the hotel after sunset to see what we can find out."

"OK."

"OK."

"Ming, I understand."
