Chapter 369 Investigation
It has to be said that Seth, as a country that fights against the demons, has indeed made achievements in this regard. Soon, Duanmuhuai learned the information he needed about the demon world. Some of them come from the demons captured on Seth's front line, and some of them are news brought back by the scouts sent by Seth into the demon territory. Of course, the ones that can be placed in front of Duanmuhuai will not be those ambiguous ones. That's all the rumors.
"I see……………"
Putting down the record in his hand, Duanmuhuai murmured to himself. Judging from the information Seth obtained from the monsters, combined with the memory of Demon King Jier he had previously obtained, Duanmuhuai had almost figured out the current situation in the demon world.
To put it simply, the trajectory of the Demon King is as follows - a long time ago, the Demon King of the Demon World was a man named Naichi. As a "Demon King", he was defeated by the human "brave", and then encountered a man who had his limbs cut off and was waiting to die. Jill, then Naiki passed on his blood of the Demon King and his position as the Demon King to Jill, and the latter became the next Demon King.
In the era of Demon King Jill, human beings suffered unspeakable painful fates. Jill knew about the setting of "brave men", that is, once human beings suffer heavy casualties, brave men will appear, and then the more humans die, the more brave heroes will become. Strong, will eventually defeat the Demon King - and in order to prevent the emergence of brave men, Jill built a human ranch.
She imprisoned humans in the pasture like animals, destroyed the human country, and left them living a desperate life in the pasture. This period was also the darkest period in human history, with almost no hope and no future.
But later, another hero Guy appeared. Although he was not a brave man, he found a way to stab the Demon King Gil in the back, defeated him, and sealed him under the royal city of Lisas, and then built Lisas on it. nation. Since Guy was bathed in a large amount of the Demon King's blood when he backstabbed Demon Lord Jill, it was logical that he would become the next generation of Demon King after Demon Lord Jill.
During the reign of Demon King Guy, the demons were relatively quiet, and human civilization was restored. But as the Demon King's time passed, the selection of the next Demon King was also put on the agenda.
Seth is not very clear about this section. In short, the records that can be obtained are that Demon King Guy passed his blood to someone, hoping to make him a Demon King. But the other party was unwilling to accept this fate and ran away, and Demon King Guy was also killed.
As a result, the originally delicate balance of forces in the demon world began to become chaotic. The demons were therefore divided into two factions. One faction was led by the leader of the four demon kings, and the Caiblis faction refused to admit that the demon king had given up his job and ran away, and that a new demon king should be elected. And the Hornet faction, led by Guy's daughter Honeyt, believes that Guy's edict should continue to be followed...
"I see."
After figuring out the cause and effect of the matter, Duanmuhuai finally understood why the demons attacked Lisas. It was obvious that in addition to these two factions, there was a third faction in the demon clan - that is, to lift the seal of the previous demon king. , the Jier faction that allowed him to return to the Golden Palace...
Well, I'm afraid that old demon belongs to Ji Er's faction.
Some people want to be the emperor themselves, some want to follow the last emperor's orders, and some want to let the Supreme Emperor lift the coffin and come out to fight for another five hundred years... This demon world is really chaotic.
"Anyway, thank you for providing this information."
Duanmu Huai raised his head, looked at the girl sitting opposite him and nodded - that was a girl with long brown hair, glasses, and combed back hair, who looked like a standard top student. She is the daughter of the King of Seth Kingdom, Majiko Ze Gandhi.
"Nothing, you also provided us with a lot of useful information."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Majike also put down the pen in his hand and spoke. As a courtesy exchange of information, Duanmuhuai also told them about the contents of Demon King Jier's memory, which also included the rules of the game between Demon King and Hero, and the three super gods...
"To be honest, if you were not the warrior who destroyed the former Demon King, I would definitely think that these are all nonsense."
Majiko looked at the content described in his hand with a complex expression, especially about the rules of the game between the Demon King and the Hero - that is to say, the threat from the Demon World that the Seth Kingdom is currently facing, and everything that has been sacrificed for it, Is it all just a game about creating gods?
To be honest, if another person said this in front of him, Majiko would never believe it.
"Whether it's true or not, we have no way to confirm this, but demons are a threat to humans and that won't change at least in the short term."
Duanmu Huai picked up a book again, looked through it, and answered at the same time. However, when he saw a certain record in it, Duanmu Huai was suddenly startled.
"...Your Highness Majiko."
"What's the matter?"
"What is this monster user?"
Duanmuhuai handed over the book doubtfully, while Majiko glanced at it.
"Ah, as the name suggests, monster users are people who use monsters. They usually wander around the continent, sign contracts with monsters, and use monsters to fight enemies."
"...Will they still hold a round ball and throw it at monsters when they see it?"
"Huh? What is that?"
"It's nothing, I just want to talk..."
What kind of magical monster trainer is this?
After making a casual complaint, Duanmu Huai was speechless. The reason why he asked Majiko about the news of the monster master was not because Duanmu Huai was in a whim, but just when Duanmu Huai was flipping through the book introducing the magic profession, he turned to the page of the monster master, and then a task suddenly popped up in the system in front of Duanmu Huai.
[Special task activation "Monster Master"]
[Task goal: become a qualified monster master]
[Task reward: ? ? ? ]
Why did the system pop up this task for me?
Duanmu Huai took the book again and carefully read the introduction about the monster master. According to the introduction, there are monsters called male monsters and female monsters in this world... and the monster master is a professional who captures them and trains them as a demon master. The monster that becomes a demon master will obey the orders of the demon master and fight for him... Hmm?
Wait, that is to say, as long as you become a demon master, you can capture monsters and get information from them?
Think about it carefully, the demon king is also a kind of monster, right?
If I could become a monster master, wouldn't I be able to turn the demon king into my own servant? Then I wouldn't have to torture her anymore. Wouldn't she just answer whatever I asked?
If I had known about this profession earlier, I wouldn't have exploded Jill's head, and the information would have been fragmented...
The only problem is that according to the book, the monster master seems to depend on qualifications. Hmm... do I have this qualification?
I should have, otherwise the system wouldn't have activated this task for me. In this case, as long as I become a monster master, I can enslave and manipulate monsters... I wonder if it will work on the demons in the subspace? If it does, it would be interesting. Duanmu Huai remembered that there seemed to be players who had a profession similar to Pokémon trainers, but at that time, as a soul walker, he already had a bunch of soul cards, so there was no need to do this profession specifically.
But now it seems that this profession seems to have other benefits...
"Ms. Magi Ke, how do I become a monster master?"
"Wu... ..."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Magi Ke frowned.
"Generally speaking, the inheritance of a magic user is very complicated. Almost only the magic user himself will choose the disciple to inherit his mantle. So it is not as common as other magic subjects...."
"I see..."
Just like folk handicrafts, it is the form of a master leading an apprentice.
"But why do you ask this?"
"The Demon King is also a monster, that is to say, if I can become a magic user, then even the Demon King can be used by me, right?"
"Hey............?"
Hearing this, Magi Ke was stunned in place.
"Huh? Isn't it?"
"No, this... Sorry, I don't know... Demon King..."
Looking at the man in front of her, Magi Ke didn't know what to say for a while. This idea was so speechless that she didn't even know what to say. Although strictly speaking, it seems to be true. After all, the Demon King is the king of the demons, so he must be a monster, and since the monster user can use monsters, theoretically he can also use the Demon King...
But no one has ever thought about it!
Not to mention, the person in front of him was the one who destroyed the previous demon king in the legend. Others would think such words were daydreams, but when he said this... it gave people an irresistible sense of reality.
"Uh... Are you really going to subdue the demon king? Why?"
"I want to ask for information, but I'm not very good at ordinary torture. But as long as I can use the demon king, I can make him say whatever he wants."
"This... ..."
It seems to be true?
"So, Your Highness Magik, do you know any way to make me a demon master?"
"This... is very difficult, because demon masters are very rare, and most of them don't like to be in crowded places..."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Magik thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
"Oh, I remember that a long time ago, Seth had a powerful monster master. Although he has passed away, he left behind a trial. It is said that as long as you pass the trial, you can obtain the knowledge and ability of the monster master and inherit his legacy. But so far, it seems that no one has succeeded."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's eyes flashed with a light.
"Do you mind taking me to see it, Your Highness Magiko?"
