Demon Royal Family

Ivo touched his chin and said slowly: "If I remember correctly, you just decided on the plan to get involved in power."

Iris chuckled a few times but didn't respond.

Ivo's thoughts changed and he suddenly said: "So that's it, you have already decided on the plan, and holding a meeting with elite members observing is just a well-rehearsed show."

"As early as three days after the Blood Tribe provoked the trouble, the leader decided to make friends with the great nobles. The Blood Tribe's status in the Odin Empire is much higher than ours. The Brotherhood does not want to waste money in vain. We need more power and allies. To counter the vampires..." Iris explained: "What is shown to the elite members is just the tip of the iceberg of the Brotherhood's plan. At the same time, this meeting is also a test to discover the talents the organization needs, and you are what we need."

Ivo shook his head, "To be honest, I don't want to get involved in the historical issues between the Brotherhood and the Blood Clan. I joined the Brotherhood just to accept employment and borrow information."

Iris shrugged and said, "I'm not surprised by your decision. We just want to seek equal cooperation."

"How to cooperate?"

"As I just said, on behalf of the Brotherhood, we are discussing cooperation with a big shot in the Odin Empire. In fact, we have already contacted the other party, but the other party is very arrogant and thinks that we are not qualified to talk to him as an equal, so we need your status With experience, the owner of the Golden Cross.”

"Then what can you give me?"

"Information, and a little help you need."

"Tell me about it."

"We know that you are the Redeemer. The Bishop of the Greencastle City Church is friends with Archduke Husser. Under the lobbying of a deacon named Das, Husser believed that the Redeemer would cause harm to his friend and sent him A large number of soldiers patrolled around the church. Not only that, Das also summoned twenty-six judge night watchmen to wait in the church for the Redeemer to surrender. Yes, we learned about your coercion from the members of the church. Regarding the priest, don’t underestimate the Brotherhood’s intelligence capabilities.”

Ivo shrugged indifferently. He had no intention of hiding it, but "Dass" made him a little confused. "Can you show me what Darth looks like?"

Iris tilted her head, picked up a piece of paper, and quickly sketched.

Ivo took a look, and as expected, it was the night watchman who ambushed him in Summer City. The question was why Darth's hostility was so obvious.

"Your painting skills are superb."

"Shorthand is the basic skill of an assassin." Iris said casually.

Ivo narrowed his eyes, "If the church's defense is so tight, it will be really difficult for me to succeed."

"As long as you can offer a suitable price for the Brotherhood, we will give a small share of the benefits to reach a deal with Archduke Huther and let him convince the bishop to leave the divine mark to you without you taking any risks."

Ivo knocked on the table and muttered: "The target I want to negotiate with is the lord of the Riverlands, Grand Duke Huther of the Principality of Green Castle."

Iris laughed, "So you agreed?"

Ivo smiled slightly, "Before telling me the conditions expected by the Brotherhood, I hope to make three more requests. First, to check Das's background. Second, to find a little girl in black robes in the Riverlands. Her appearance I will draw it for you later. Thirdly, I hope to know the information about the shamans of Abraham Continent."

Iris stretched out her hand, "Then it's a deal."

“A pleasure to work with.”

Two hands, tightly held together.

…

The Green Castle is the palace of the Hanton family. The vines climb all over the castle and are carefully pruned to look just right and full of vitality.

The Grand Duke of the Odin Empire, Huther Hanton Wilson, is one of the top figures in the empire. The Hanton family has occupied the Riverlands for more than two hundred years, almost as long as the family history. The Principality of Greencastle is a territory that has been branded , the rule of the Hanton family has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of the Riverlands.

Das walked out of the Green Castle, took a deep breath, and cursed secretly: "Damn Duke, you dare to ridicule the church. If it weren't for the purpose of eradicating heresy, I would definitely make you regret it!"

Just now, he asked to see Grand Duke Huther because the garrison church aroused dissatisfaction among believers and made the Grand Duke waver. He was going to visit him to lobby, but Grand Duke Huther did not want to see him in person. He only sent the second steward to convey the message, and his words were sarcastic. The church needs his help, which makes Das angry.

Das was dissatisfied, but he couldn't afford to offend the Grand Duke of the Odin Empire, so he could only endure the nobles' arrogance and harsh words.

Although the process made him unhappy, the result was very good. Huther continued to send people to garrison the church, and he would be able to catch the Redeemer. He was convinced that no matter how many means Ivo had, he could not defeat the power.

Due to Ivo's status as the owner of the Cross, the Holy See decided to wait until Ivo arrived in the Holy Land before declaring failure, and did not allow the Night Watch to pursue him, but Das violated the request.

Every time he thinks of the memory of being played by Ivo, Das will grit his teeth in anger, "With the support of the Grand Duke, you will have nowhere to escape this time!"

A carriage without an emblem passed Das and stopped at the entrance of the Green Castle. It seemed that it was also visiting Archduke Huther.

Das stopped and watched, looking curious.

Two people wearing hooded black cloaks to hide their appearance stepped out of the carriage and were greeted by an old man and walked into the Green Castle.

Das looked surprised. The old man was the chief steward of the Hanton family and had a higher status than the second steward who received him. The two people on the carriage could directly see the Grand Duke.

Das' face was a little ugly. As a deacon of the church, he did not receive such a high salary, so he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

…

Ivo and Iris, wearing black cloaks and white masks, followed the butler of the Hanton family up the stairs to Archduke Huther's study.

The two communicated in low voices.

"That man just now was Das. What was he doing here?"

"It must have something to do with the church. He has set a big net to catch you."

"Haha, it's not that easy."

"Have you memorized all the information the brother gave you?"

"Well, Husse is a typical nobleman. On the surface, he is careless, arrogant and mean, but in fact he is very shrewd and mercenary. He is more like a businessman than a nobleman."

Arriving outside the study, the butler knocked on the door and said, "Your Excellency, a guest is here."

An arrogant voice came from the study, "Huh, let them in."

The two walked into the study and saw a thin man wearing aristocratic robes and a mustache sitting on a chair. He glanced at the two of them indifferently.

Archduke Huther.

The butler closed the door.

Husse let Ivo and I stand and hummed: "Your brothers are all a bunch of bloody barbarians. It's a waste to let you step on the Napoli carpet. Want to talk about cooperation with me? Give me first I’m looking for a guy with enough weight. Unless your president personally visits, no one else is qualified to communicate with me on an equal footing.”

Ivo took a step forward, stroked his chest and saluted, and said: "Hello, Grand Duke Huther, on behalf of the Brotherhood, I would like to discuss the terms of cooperation with you."

Husse glanced at Ivo sideways and said in a contemptuous tone, "Are you the spokesperson hired by the Brotherhood? Do you think you are qualified to talk to me?"

Ivo took off his mask, revealed his true face, smiled softly, and said: "Duke Lassese, owner of the Golden Cross, Ivo Harricon."

Husse sneered disdainfully, "It turns out that you are from the Northland. Guys from such remote places generally have little knowledge, so I often forgive the nobles of the small kingdom for having high self-esteem. My memory is not very good. I will grant you the Golden Cross." What is the name of the small kingdom? Rachas or Rachas?"

Ivo smiled lightly, not angry at Husser's contempt, because the negotiation had already begun from the moment he entered the door.

Oppressive and sarcastic language is just a means to control the situation. If you are angry because of it, you will be given the upper hand. This is what the other party wants. Ivo has had so many interactions with the Hokuriku nobles. Knowing everything.

My identity this time is that of a lobbyist invited by the Brotherhood.

When he announced his identity, Ivo stared closely into Husser's eyes and caught a fleeting look of surprise.

The other party was surprised!

Husse didn’t expect that the Brotherhood would invite him!

The status of the golden cross in Husse's heart was not as deliberately ignored as he appeared to be.

It should be said that no noble would dare to ignore a golden cross owner!

Ivo remained unmoved. Faced with Huther's meanness, his mood remained calm. He smiled and said, "It's Lassese. I'm glad to see you, Your Majesty the Duke." Before Huther could speak, he and Iris started talking to each other. Gu Zi sat down.

This sitting disintegrated the aggressive momentum created by Husse.

Hu Se's eyelids twitched inadvertently, and there was a hint of solemnity deep in his eyes.
