A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 492

Chapter 492: Chapter 367: Investigation_1 Chapter 492: Chapter 367: Investigation_1 It has to be said that as a nation in confrontation with the Demon Clan, Seth indeed has made significant achievements in this respect. Soon, Duanmu Huai obtained the information about the Devil World that he needed. A part of it came from the demons captured on the front lines of Seth, and some were brought back by scouts sent by Seth into the territory of the Demon Clan. Of course, the ones placed in front of Duanmu Huai would certainly not be ambiguous rumors.

“So that's how it is………”

Putting down the records in his hands, Duanmu Huai murmured, according to the information obtained by Seth from the Demon, combined with the memories of Devil King Ji'Er that he had previously acquired, Duanmu Huai had almost sorted out the current situation in the Devil World.

In simple terms, the trajectory of the Demon King is as follows——A long time ago, the Demon King in Devil World was an individual named Nayi Qi. As the “Demon King”, he was defeated by a human “Hero”, then met Ji'Er, who had been left to die after his limbs were severed. Nayi Qi then passed on his Blood of the Demon King and the position of Demon King to Ji'Er, who became the next Demon King.

During the era of Devil King Ji'Er, humans suffered an unspeakable fate of pain. Ji'Er knew about the setting of the “Hero”, that is, once humans suffered heavy casualties, a hero would appear, and the more humans died, the stronger the hero would be, eventually defeating the Demon King——In order to prevent the emergence of a hero, Ji'Er built human ranches.

She imprisoned humans in ranches like beasts, destroyed human nations, and made them live a life of despair in the ranches. This was the darkest period in human history, almost without hope, without a future.

However, another hero named Gaia emerged. Although he was not a hero, he found a way to backstab Devil King Ji'Er, defeated her, and sealed her beneath the Royal City of Lisas. He then established the nation of Lisas above it. Because Gaia bathed in a lot of Blood of the Demon King when he betrayed Ji'Er, he naturally became the next Demon King after Ji'Er.

During Demon King Gaia's rule, the Demon Clan was relatively quiet, and human civilization was restored. But as the Demon King's time passed, the selection of the next Demon King also came onto the schedule.

Seth was not very clear about this part. Anyway, the records that could be obtained showed that Demon King Gaia passed his blood to someone and wanted to make him the Demon King. But the other party did not want to accept this fate and ran away, and Demon King Gaia was killed.

In this way, the delicate balance of power in the Devil World began to become chaotic. The Demons were therefore divided into two factions, one led by the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demons, the Krebs Faction, which refused to acknowledge the abdicating and fleeing Demon King and insisted on selecting a new Demon King. And the Honnete Faction led by Gaia's daughter Honnete, who thought they should continue to obey Gaia's edict…..

“I see.”

After understanding the causes and effects of the situation, Duanmu Huai finally understood why the Demon would attack Lisas. Obviously, besides these two factions, there is a third faction in the Demon Clan——the Ji'Er faction, that is, to lift the seal of the former Demon King and let her return to the Golden Palace…..

Well, that old Demon is probably from the Ji'Er faction.

Some people want to become an emperor themselves, some people want to obey the late emperor's orders, and some people want the retired emperor to flip up his coffin lid and fight for another five hundred years….. This Devil World is really chaotic.

“In any case, thank you for the information you provided.”

Duanmu Huai raised his head and nodded at the girl sitting opposite him——that was a girl with long brown hair, wearing glasses, and her hair combed back, looking like a standard top student. She is the daughter of the King of Seth Kingdom, Majeko Ze Gandhi.

“It's nothing, you also provided us with a lot of useful information.”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Majeko also put down the pen in her hand and spoke. In return for sharing information, Duanmu Huai also told them the contents from Devil King Ji'Er's memories, which included the game rules of Devil King and Hero, as well as the three Super Gods…..

“To be honest, if you weren't the hero who eliminated the former Demon King, I would definitely think all of this is nonsense.”

Majeko looked complexly at the contents described in her hand, especially about the game rules of Demon King and Hero——in other words, the threat from the Devil World that the Kingdom of Seth is currently facing, and all the sacrifices for this, are just a game of Creator God?

Honestly, if another person was saying this in front of her, Majeko would absolutely not believe it.

“Whether it's true or not, we have no way of confirming it, but at least for the time being, the Demon Clan is a threat to humans and that won't change.”

Duanmu Huai picked up another book and started browsing it again, answering at the same time. However, when he saw a certain record in it, Duanmu Huai was taken aback.

“……Majeko.”

“What's the matter?”

“What is a Demon Beast Trainer?”

Duanmu Huai handed over the book in confusion, and Majeko glanced at it.

“Ah, as its name suggests, Demon Beast Trainers are people who use Demon Beasts. They generally wander around the continent, make contracts with Demon Beasts, and use Demon Beasts to fight enemies.”

“………Do they carry a spherical object and throw it at a Demon Beast when they see one?”

“Huh? What's that?”

“Nothing, I was just saying……”

What a magical beast trainer……

With a casual comment, Duanmu Huai was speechless. He was asking Majeko about the Demon Beast Trainer not because he had a whim, but because he turned to the page about the Demon Beast Trainer in the book introducing magical professions, and then a mission suddenly popped up in the system in front of Duanmu Huai's eyes.

[Special mission activated”Tame the Demon Beast”]
[Mission goal: Become a qualified Demon Beast Trainer]
[Mission reward: ???]
Why did the system give me this task?

Duanmu Huai picked up the book again and carefully read the introduction about the Demon Beast Trainer. According to the introduction, there are male and female demon beasts in this world, and the job of a Demon Beast Trainer was to catch them and train them into familiars. The trained demons obey the commands of the Demon Beast Trainer, even when engaged in battle… Hmm?

Wait, does this mean all I need to do is become a Demon Beast Trainer, capture a demon beast, and then extract information from them?

When you think about it, isn't the Demon King also a kind of demon beast?

If I can become a Demon Beast Trainer, wouldn't I then be able to make the Demon King my familiar and readily obtain any information I need from them, without resorting to interrogation?

I regret in hindsight that I blew up Ji'er's head, leading to a fragmented transmission of information…

According to the book, the tricky part seems to be that becoming a Demon Beast Trainer is dependent on possessing a certain aptitude… Do I possess that aptitude?

I likely do, otherwise, the system wouldn't have activated this task for me. As such, once I become a Demon Beast Trainer, I should be able to command and control demon beasts… I wonder if this would work on the demons in subspace? If it does, that would be quite interesting. Duanmu Huai recalled that there had indeed been players with a profession similar to being a Pokemon Trainer, but as a Soul Walker, he already had a bunch of Soul Cards, so he never needed to take on such a profession.

But considered now, this profession seems to have other benefits…

“Miss Majeko, how do I become a Demon Beast Trainer?”

“Er…”

Majeko frowned at Duanmu Huai's question.

“Generally speaking, the succession of Demon Beast Trainers is very complex. Most often, only a Demon Beast Trainer chooses a disciple to inherit their abilities. So, it's not like other magic disciplines that can be commonly learned…”

“I see…”

Like folk crafts, it's a traditional master-disciple style of learning.

“But why do you ask?”

“The Demon King is a demon beast, right? So, if I can become a Demon Beast Trainer, even the Demon King could be commanded by me, correct?”

“Huh…?”

Upon hearing this, Majeko was left stunned on the spot.

“No? Isn't it so?”

No, but… I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure… the Demon King…”

Majeko was at a loss for words. Duanmu Huai's thinking was so unthinkable that she didn't even know what to say in response. Technically speaking, it seemed so; after all, the Demon King was the king of the demons, so they were likely a demon beast. And since a Demon Beast Trainer can control demon beasts, they theoretically could control the Demon King…

But nobody has ever thought of it that way!

What's more, the man before her was said to have defeated the previous Demon King in legend. If anyone else were to say such a thing, one would think it to be a daydream, but when he said it, it felt overwhelmingly real.

“Um… Are you really planning to tame the Demon King? Why?”

“I need to ask them some questions, and I'm not very good at interrogating traditionally. However, if I can control the Demon King, they would say whatever I would have them say, right?”

“This…”

It seems to be true, right?

“So, Miss Majeko, do you know of any way that can help me become a Demon Beast Trainer?”

“This… is complicated because Demon Beast Trainers are very rare and they generally dislike crowded places…”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai's query, Majeko pondered for a moment, a flash of light glinting in her eyes.

“Yes, I remember! A long time ago, Seth had a great Demon Beast Trainer. Although he has passed away, he left behind a trial. It's said that anyone who can pass the trial would obtain his knowledge and power and become his successor. But so far, it seems no one has succeeded.”

“Oh?”

Upon hearing this, a flash of light streaked across Duanmu Huai's eyes.

“I trust that you wouldn't mind leading the way, Miss Majeko?”
