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 stabbed Demon Lord Jill in the back, 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, who refused to admit that the demon king who gave up his job and ran away should be elected as a new demon king. And the Hornet faction, led by Guy's daughter Honeyt, believes that Guy's edict should continue to be followed...
"That's it."
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 Ji'er 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 Ji Er'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 Kingdom of Seth 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."
Duanmuhuai picked up a book again, flipped through it, and answered at the same time. However, when he saw a certain record in it, Duanmuhuai was suddenly startled.
"...His Royal 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 ball and throw it at monsters when they see it?"
"Huh? What is that?"
"It's nothing, I just want to say..."
What kind of magical monster trainer is this...
Duanmu Huai was speechless after making a casual remark. The reason why he asked Majiko about the monster user was not because Duanmu Huai had a whim, but when Duanmu Huai was flipping through the book introducing magic professions, he came across monsters. After reading this page, a task suddenly popped up in the system in front of Duanmu Huai.
[Special mission activates "Use Monsters"]
[Mission goal: Become a qualified monster user]
[Task reward:? ? ? 】Why does the system jump out of this task for me?
Duanmuhuai took the book again and carefully read the introduction about the Monster User - According to the introduction, there are monsters called male monsters and female monsters in this world... and the Monster User is to capture them and train them as monsters. A professional who makes demons. A monster that becomes a familiar will act according to the orders of the familiar and fight for it... huh?
Wait, that is to say, as long as you become a monster user, you can capture monsters and get information from them?
If you think about it carefully, the Demon King is also a kind of monster, right?
Then if I could become a monster user, wouldn't it be possible to turn the Demon King into my familiar? Then there would be no need to torture her anymore, and she would just say what I asked him.
If I had known about this profession earlier, I wouldn't have exploded Jill's head and the information was in pieces...
The only troublesome thing is that according to the book, monster users seem to be based on qualifications. Hmm...do you have the qualifications?
There should be, otherwise the system would not activate this task for itself. In this case, as long as I become a monster user, I can use and control monsters... I wonder if it will be effective against the demons in the subspace? It would be interesting if it worked. Duanmuhuai remembered that there seemed to be players who had a profession similar to that of a Pokémon trainer, but as a soul walker at the time, he had a bunch of soul cards, so there was no need to go out of his way to do this profession.
But now it seems that this profession has other benefits...
"Miss Magiko, how do you become a monster user?"
"Woo......"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Majiko frowned.
"Generally speaking, the inheritance of the monster user is very complicated. Almost only the monster user chooses the disciple who inherits his mantle. Therefore, it is not universally learned like other magic subjects..."
"I see..."
Just like folk handicrafts, it is a form of master leading apprentice.
"But why do you ask that?"
"The Demon King is also a monster, right? In other words, if you can become a monster user, then even the Demon King can be used by me, right?"
"Hey...?"
Hearing this, Majiko froze on the spot.
"Huh? Isn't it?"
"No, this...I'm sorry, I'm not in a good situation either...Demon King..."
Looking at the man in front of her, Majiko didn't know what to say for a moment. This thought was so speechless that she didn't even know what to say. Although strictly speaking, that seems to be the case. After all, the Demon King is the king of the demon clan, 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 of it this way!
Not to mention, the person in front of him was the legendary being who had destroyed the former Demon King. Others would only think of it as a daydream when he said this, but what he said... gave people an irresistible sense of reality.
"Uh... Do you really plan to conquer 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 let the other party say whatever they want."
"This..."
Does this really seem to be the case?
"So, Your Majesty Majiko, do you know of any way to make me a monster user?"
"This... is very difficult, because monster users are generally very rare, and most of them don't like to be in crowded places..."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Majike thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.
"By the way, I remember that Seth had a powerful monster user a long time ago. Although he has passed away, he left a trial. It is said that as long as you pass the trial, you can gain the knowledge of that monster user. and ability to inherit his legacy, but so far, no one seems to have succeeded.”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, a bright light flashed in Duanmu Huai's eyes.
"If you don't mind taking me to see it, Your Highness Majiko."
