Demon Royal Family

Six ships sailed along the cliff, and it took three days to reach the end of the cliff and circumvent the Horn of the North.

It took them another three days to find a white strait covered with snow, which could barely be used as a shelter port.

After docking the ship, everyone boarded the frozen soil. In front of them was the endless snow forest. Each tree was more than ten meters high, blocking out the sky. In the distance, there were continuous white mountains, and the cold wind howled in the sky. In the ice and snow, the endless forest keeps ringing with faint roars of beasts. Just hearing the roars will make your heart palpitate.

Ahead is the restricted area of ​​life, the Cold Night Mountains!

They are located at the end of the Cold Night Mountains, surrounded by white snow caps, and have not been inhabited for hundreds of years.

Ender rubbed his hands and said with some flinch: "This is my first time coming to the Cold Night Mountains. Can we really pass through?"

Barlow grinned, "I feel anxious."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Ivo, worried that they were the unlucky ones who were chosen to follow him through the Cold Night Mountains.

Ivo glanced at it and said: "Barlow and Ender are coming with me, the others are on standby here." It's not that he doesn't want to bring more people, these combatants who are not strong enough will not have much effect even if they are brought out, Yivo Wo didn't bother taking them across the Cold Night Mountains, and decided to seek help from the tribe.

Hearing this, everyone except Barlow and Ender breathed a sigh of relief and exhaled a burst of white hot air.

Hades said expressionlessly, "I will watch them for you."

Ivo nodded. The extreme north is freezing, the living environment is difficult, and there are few people around. There is no guarantee that these sailors and subordinates will not have evil intentions. The sailors have to stay in the Horn of the North for several months, which can almost force people to Crazy, although the supplies are enough to consume, the mental state of the sailors needs to be worried more. The most reliable Hades is left to guard these sailors so that they will not cause trouble.

Therefore, the only candidates to enter the Hokuriku are Ivo, Luna, Barlow and Ender.

After hundreds of sailors built a stronghold and set up a bonfire for warmth, Ivo led the three of them into the crisis-ridden Cold Night Mountains under Gavin's worried eyes.

…

In the snow, a large pot on a campfire was boiling broth. Ivo was stirring with a spoon and sprinkling some seasonings from time to time. Luna, Barlow, and Ender were sitting on the side, eagerly waiting for the meal to start. There is a very interesting detail. Barlow and Ender maintained a few body distances from Luna, and their fear of Luna was palpable.

They still remembered that this indifferent little girl chased them during the journey of redemption. The two were extremely curious about Ivo's method of developing such a terrifying enemy into an ally. Ender, who finally understood the relationship between men and women in his twenties, even He maliciously guessed that Ivo had developed the taste of a girl, and was severely beaten by Ivo who happened to overhear.

What a bastard for a young girl, this is obviously a mature woman who cannot be more mature.

The four of them trekked in the Cold Night Mountains for more than ten days. At first, Ander and Balot were worried, but they found that Ivo could always easily avoid wild beasts and skillfully dig out edible plants, just like wandering around in their own back garden. , the expected danger did not happen at all, and the two were surprised by this.

The rich soup was rolling, and the meat was cooked thoroughly. Ivo scooped four bowls and divided them among everyone. They drank the hot broth in the ice and snow. The hot and fragrant soup flowed down the throat, and Ivo breathed out happily. A breath of hot breath warmed my whole body.

"Are you familiar with the Cold Night Mountains?" Ander couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.

Ivo laughed, "I lived here for a while."

Barlow drank the broth in one gulp and glanced at the sky, "How long until we can get out?"

"It will probably take about ten days." Ivo nodded. The four of them walked very fast. They ran all the way and exercised at the same time.

Luna was drinking the broth with graceful movements, but faster than Barlow. She wiped her lips, handed the bowl to Ivo, and winked silently.

Ivo reluctantly took the bowl and added some broth to her.

Luna looked like she was used to it and drank four bowls of broth in a row. Luna drank half of the whole pot of broth.

Barlow and Ender silently watched the interaction between the two, with strange expressions on their faces, and winked at Ivo.

Ivo glared at them fiercely, "What are you looking at? I'll eat your food."

Ander muttered: "What's so bad about it, be careful I tell Sister Nafei."

Ivo smiled dangerously and snatched the bowl from Ender's hand, "Don't eat it today."

Ander was anxious, "No, I haven't finished eating yet."

Ivo turned a deaf ear, drank it all in one gulp, and threw the empty bowl back to Ender.

Ender held the empty bowl and was about to cry. He wanted to hold Ivo's thigh and shout "I was wrong". Ivo's cooking skills are comparable to those of a palace chef, and delicious food is one of the few things the four of them can enjoy in a bitterly cold place.

The four of them set out on the road again without talking. Soon it was night, and Ivo found a snow cave as a resting place for the night.

After setting up various traps and disguises, it was already dark outside. Ivo walked out of the cave and said, "You guys have a good rest here. I will be back around noon tomorrow."

"Where are you going?" Ander asked in surprise.

Ivo didn't look back, and his figure disappeared into the night.

Barlow and Ender looked at each other. They didn't dare to ask Luna who was concentrating with her eyes closed, so they could only whisper in a low voice.

"Did he go hunting?"

"It's not like that. We have enough food."

Ender suddenly took a breath of cold air, "Ivo is a Mimic. Could it be that other Mimics live in the Cold Night Mountains?"

Barlow recalled Ivo's ease along the way and thought deeply, "It's very possible."

The two shook their heads and stopped talking. They had no prejudice against Ivo's race.

…

The Hangu tribe was quiet and peaceful at night. When Ivo came to the village entrance, the statue of Lao De was lifelike, but still ugly. (Lao De: "...")

The ice stone house in the tribe was silent, there were no lights, and the tribesmen were all asleep. Ivo walked quietly to his yard, looking at the familiar scene, a soft color flashed across his face.

Arriving at his father's door, Ivo knocked lightly, and his father's voice rang out, "Who is it?"

"It's me, I'm back."

There was a pause in the room, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. The door was quickly opened, and Father Mok appeared in front of him with a surprised look on his face.

"You brat," Mok choked, pinched Ivo's broad shoulders, and said with great relief, "You've grown up."

Ivo smiled and gave his father a big hug.

Mork pulled Ivo into the house and asked, "Why did you come back suddenly?"

Ivo scratched his head, helped Mok sit down, and lit the oil lamp. "Ten years have passed. Uncle Ying said that the tribe's expulsion of me has ended. A lot of things happened during this period. I passed by the tribe and came back to see one look."

Dad's expression changed and he said inexplicably: "You are already twenty years old... time flies so fast!"

Ivo had a lot to say, but when he was about to speak, his father stopped Ivo with a serious face and said slowly: "It's time for you to go."

Ivo was stunned for a moment. He had just come back, why did his father drive him away?

The father, who was full of joy just now, had a straight face and pushed Ivo to drive him out, "Hurry up and go as far as possible, and never come back!"

Ivo was confused and hurriedly grabbed the door frame and said in surprise: "What are you talking about, dad?"

"Leave now, or it will be too late!" Mok seemed to have no intention of explaining, and pushed Ivo anxiously, which made him very confused. He turned around and stared at his father, "Even if you want to drive me away, At least give me a reason! Why is it too late!"

Mok was very anxious, "Stop talking, if he finds out that you are back, you will be finished!"

Ivo was completely kept in the dark. He frowned and said word by word without moving a step: "What are you hiding from me? What do you mean 'I will be finished if he finds out'?! If you don't explain clearly, There’s absolutely no way I’m going to leave!”

Seeing that Ivo was very determined, Mok knew that his son was no longer the little kid who could be dismissed casually. He was very anxious, but he was also proud of Ivo. He sighed and stopped pushing, as if exhausted. He sat down with all his strength and said in a deep voice: "You must promise me that if I tell you the reason, you will never return to the tribe again!"

Ivo nodded in surprise, "Okay, I promise you."

Mok sighed deeply, lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about where to start, and said slowly: "You have asked me many times, who is your mother and where did she go? I never told you. Because you're not ready to know..."

Ivo's expression changed slightly. Is it related to his mother?

Dad looked at Ivo, who was brave and masculine and exuded a strong aura, with relief, "Now... you are ready."

"Who is she?" Ivo found that his voice was trembling instinctively. He had no feelings for the mother he had never met, but he was naturally curious and expectant in his heart.

"Her name is Lililin..." Dad looked at Ivo silently and saw that Ivo was confused by the name, so he slowly said the next words that made Ivo feel like he was struck by lightning.

"She is the sister of Pioneer Ames, the most talented Mimic mage ever, who we call... Sage."
