Demon Royal Family
Chapter 48 The Bishop’s Visit
During the days of recuperation at Lynches Manor, Ivo found that Templars often came to interrogate them. After questioning, he learned that the Holy See had defined them as high-risk heretics and launched a city-wide manhunt.
Ivo thought to himself that it was a good thing that he and Paro were tightly wrapped at that time, otherwise he would have been in trouble.
The Templars doubted his identity and often questioned Ivo. After all, he had been in Laces City less than a year before he suddenly appeared in the aristocratic circle with unknown origins. Now he has become half a member of the Linches family. , very suspicious.
Although Ivo was not afraid, he was still disturbed. In particular, the tone of some Templar knights made him very unhappy, as if they had concluded that he was guilty and were making excuses for everything they said.
Of course, with the protection of Lynches, and the fact that he had no heretical aura about him, the Templars finally let it go.
After ten days of recuperation, Ivo recovered from his injuries. Paro reported good news. The Dark Eye was very curious about his identity as the devil's son. A bishop would come to visit him and conduct an investigation to determine Ivo's identity as the devil's son. .
Ivo was also looking forward to it, but he didn't expect the bishop to come so quickly.
It was dark at night, and Ivo was reading a book in his room. Suddenly there was no wind and the curtains automatically moved. Paro and another hooded man in black robe suddenly appeared at the window.
Ivo had become accustomed to their habit of walking through the window and looked at the stranger: "Who are you?"
"Sistine Groma," the stranger opened his hood, and a head of long brown hair flowed out. Under the hood, a thin and handsome face was exposed. He looked to be only about twenty years old, with a pair of emerald hair. His emerald green pupils were as textured as fluorite. He maintained a graceful smile, tilted his head slightly and nodded, "One of the bishops of the Dark Eyes."
"Hello, Bishop Sistine," Ivo shook hands with him. He felt that Sistine's palm had no warmth at all, and he was a little surprised. "I am Ivo Harricon, what you call me Son of the devil, no offense, but Bishop, your hands seem a little cold."
Sistine smiled nonchalantly: "Well, because I'm not a human being, I'm a vampire."
Ivo exclaimed in surprise, "Holy Clan!" That race that thinks they are very noble and awesome! The most important thing is that they can resist aging through deep sleep, and their life span is almost infinite! After hearing so many legends, I finally saw a living one today... although it cannot be considered alive in the physical sense.
Sistine smiled and said: "Seeing is believing, I hope to feel your demonic aura personally."
Ivo nodded and let Demacia release its breath. The devil-like aura came again, suffocating even the breeze. The trees stopped shaking and turned into a silent picture. Sistine was a little calmed down.
This scene lasted for a second, Demacia took back its breath, and Sistine exclaimed: "So this is the son of the devil. To be honest, there were three bishops who were doubtful about you at first, but I believe they will not have doubts again in the future."
Ivo smiled and said: "That's good."
After confirming Ivo's identity, Sistine relaxed a lot, sat down gracefully, and said with a smile: "The Eye of Darkness was established fifty years ago. Lord Darkness is our totem. In the past fifty years, Lord Darkness has only He has appeared three times, but each time he has allowed us to avoid huge disasters. He is a benevolent true god (Demacia sneered). The power of the Dark Eye is mainly concentrated in the continent of Abraham. We have thousands of believers and dozens of With deacons like Paro and six bishops, compared to the truly huge force, the Dark Eyes are still very immature, but we are hidden in the dark and have a natural advantage."
Ivo asked doubtfully: "Actually, what I want to ask is, why did the Eyes of Darkness establish a society? Is it simply to worship Lord Dark..., or is it for other purposes?"
Sistine: "The Lord of Darkness appeared for the first time and told us a secret. The last prophecy before the disappearance of the ancient gods - the Twilight Prophecy. It predicted the end of gods, species, and worlds. It was a cleansing, Reorganize.”
"'Seven suns will fall, three moons will die, and those who steal the fruit will never be forgiven. The three crows of fate will kick off the decadent era, and the forgotten will reappear in the world. The devil of red and black Switch sides, when evil bears the name of sin, fire appears at the end of the dusk and burns the world, and the devils gaze at the ashes and ruins and smile at each other.’ This is the twilight prophecy.”
"What about the sun, moon and crow?" Ivo's mouth twitched slightly: "Isn't this similar to my line about pretending to be a stickman?"
Sistine: “We do not know when the prophecy will be fulfilled, but the Church must be prepared to face the prophetic moment.”
Ivo haha, after I successfully survived 2012, I no longer believe in so-called prophecies.
Sistine didn't care, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Ivo, actually I brought a gift for you."
"what gift?"
Sistine took out a black ring, with a smooth texture, like jet jade, with a dark green luster flowing on the surface, and silver characters engraved on it. The bishop handed the ring to Ivo, suddenly stood up and said seriously: "Ivo... Harricon, wear the Ring of Darkness, you will be the seventh bishop of the Dark Eye."
Ivo was mentally prepared for this. The Son of the Devil had a high status in the Eye of Darkness, and Paro had already determined that Ivo would become the bishop.
Taking the ring, Ivo put it on the index finger of his left hand. Demacia exclaimed, "It actually contains a trace of the origin of darkness. I'm really willing to spend money on it. This is a good thing."
Sistine explained: "The Ring of Darkness is a precious ring given to the bishop by Lord Darkness. There are nine rings in total, each with different abilities. This one has the ability to turn the afterimages generated by high-speed movement into entities. It is equivalent to a clone and has the original body. Thirty to fifty percent of the strength, the clone can be maintained for half an hour, the number of clones depends on how many afterimages the wearer's speed can leave, and can only be used once a day."
Ivo was amazed. The ability of clones is very rare, and physical clones are even rarer.
Demacia said that the four lords of Purgatory have different abilities. The old Dema's specialty is frost and fire, which has a wide range of uses and strong power. The power that Ivo can exert is less than one thousandth of his peak power. His body is temporarily The Frost Fire cannot bear too much power. Only when it becomes stronger can the power of the Frost Fire be gradually released.
Dark's abilities focus on shadow, spirit, and illusion. Dark and Plague are the two oldest demon lords. Although the old man does not admit it, these two have more comprehensive abilities.
Ivo does not rely on speed and can only throw out an afterimage, but it is foreseeable that as his strength increases, the effect of the Ring of Darkness will become stronger and stronger.
"Thank you for your gift, Bishop Sistine."
"This is just an appetizer," Sistine smiled and handed Ivo a black book: "The church will hand over the properties in the Kingdom of Laces to the new bishop."
Ivo took a breath, but he just fished with a straight hook two days ago. Someone really wants him to be the CEO. He might as well change his name to Jiang Wo from now on, or Yi Ziya.
There are only a few followers of the Eye of Darkness in the Kingdom of Laces, only 112, and Paro is the only deacon and master. Ivo was full of sympathy: "No wonder you are so busy, you have to do it yourself to recruit believers. "
Although the number of people is sparse, resources are the top priority. Ivo looked at the property accounting in the black book and secretly gasped: "We have hoarded weapons, equipment, food, leather, magic gems, alchemy props, spell scrolls... and even He also keeps war horses in captivity in the valley, worth tens of millions of benas.”
"These are the assets of the church, allowing you to mobilize resources in a small way. If there are plans to mobilize large amounts, you need to notify the church and all the bishops will vote together."
"Then what do I do?"
"Only supervision is needed," Sistine said with a smile, "You don't need to be involved in industrial operations."
Ivo thought to himself that this was only reasonable. If so many assets were given to the new bishop, no one would be at ease.
Although he has received a lot of benefits, he is still worried. There is no pie in the sky. All investments are to obtain greater benefits from you. Only this "son of the devil" can be noticed by the eyes of darkness. "identity.
He didn't know what the purpose of the Dark Eye was, but he could feel that it might be very dangerous to him.
Sistine took out a dark gold pocket watch, looked at it, and said, "It's late. I'm very satisfied with this meeting."
Ivo shook the ring: "I am also very satisfied with your gift."
"I'll give you a piece of advice, don't go out on the streets easily in the recent days..." Sistine smiled meaningfully, and his body suddenly dispersed into a group of small bats that flew out of the window, merged into the night sky, and left quickly.
Ivo looked at the bats retreating under the night sky, "Paro... don't you all think you look awesome if you don't go through the main entrance?!"
…
Early the next morning, Ivo returned to the academy, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt refreshed.
After tidying up the bed and ignoring Ender who was shouting and Barlow who was clamoring for a fight, he came to Mapoyaf's office and said straight to the point: "Teacher, I want to learn how to use a shield."
Mapoyav raised his head with a slightly confused expression: "Shield?" He stood up, walked back and forth, slapped his forehead, pulled out an old book from the bookshelf, and handed it to Ivo, "This is from my private collection. I have traveled to the kingdom of elves for the shield combat skill "Spin Step". This is a high-level shield combat skill for elves. It is very rare. You can practice it with it. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."
The academy teaches many common combat skills. Ivo only learned about them and did not practice them in depth, because the combat skills he learned were obviously more sophisticated and he did not need to spend energy on other combat skills for the time being.
The instructor only teaches students ordinary combat skills, but Ivo is a student who is unanimously favored by the principal and vice-principal of Hurricane Academy. Mapoyaf responds to almost every request, and even teaches him advanced combat skills from his private collection.
Ivo took the combat skills book and bowed first to express his gratitude. Then he opened the "Spin Step" and read it carefully, gradually showing his joy.
The combat skills of elves are famous for their agility, subtlety, and flexibility. The "rotation step" is not so much a shield combat skill, but a flexible footwork that uses a shield. Its characteristic is to use the shield to move at high speed to block the storm-like attack. .
Spin step is also one of the advanced foundations of elf combat skills. Ivo’s impression of elf combat is only spinning and jumping. I used to watch "The Hobbit" and those elves always spin when they fight.
The training methods are written in great detail in the book, including detailed explanations of body training methods, speed training methods and footwork. Ivo only needs to follow the diagrams and he will gradually become proficient.
The rotation step focused on training speed. It happened that he had the Ring of Darkness, and speed became an important part of his strength.
Ivo secretly estimated that when he mastered the spin step to the master level, his speed would be greatly improved, and he would be able to throw out two afterimages, which would be equivalent to doubling the effect of the afterimage clone of the Ring of Darkness.
"Thank you so much, Master Mapoyaf." Ivo thanked him sincerely.
"Train well and you will become the pride of the academy." Mapoyaf smiled.
After Ivo left, Mapoyaf continued to work at his desk. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. A middle-aged man with a mustache and a standard Lassian aristocratic dress walked into the study. He was wearing an aristocratic white shirt with a wavy collar. , white fur scarf, white feather wide-brimmed hat, high riding boots and tight pants. There is also a curved-handled cane hanging on the forearm across the front of the abdomen.
Sir David, the only nobleman of Hurricane Academy, is also the instructor of the swordsman department.
David frowned and said, "I just saw the new student from the warrior department leaving with your treasured combat skills book. Did you give it to him?"
Although Mapoyafu is the vice-principal, there is a natural gap between the status of civilians and nobles - although he is only the lowest knight, and David is also an old man in the college, using his status as a noble to help them solve many problems, Mapoyafu Yafu hardly showed the majesty of the vice principal in front of David, and said kindly: "Yes, David, I gave it to him."
David snorted: "You have forgotten the rules of the academy. Advanced combat skills can only be taught to students with two years of schooling and above. You have broken the rules."
This rule is mainly to protect the high-level combat skills of the academy from being spread widely.
Wherever there are people, there will be fights, not to mention professionals whose fighting power exceeds that of ordinary people. They are very angry. Although the Hurricane Academy is not well managed, the swordsman department and the warrior department have always maintained a competitive momentum.
"Ivo is a very talented student, and I am very optimistic about him."
David said in a bad tone: "I think he is very average and looks stupid. Even Ocott has more potential than him."
Mapoyaf said helplessly: "Time will prove his potential."
David snorted coldly: "In two months' time, the academy will go out for training. This time I will lead the team. I will take good care of the genius you mentioned."
