The man in front of me has long flowing black curly hair, black eyes, and dense stubble around the corners of his mouth. He is wrapped in a cloak, like flowing black liquid, fluttering in the wind.
"Uh, do you know him? Yang."
"To be honest, I have only heard of this person. In short, he is the ancestor of the demon clan, and his title is the Demon Lord. Just pretend that you recognize him and say hello to him."
I didn't expect to meet the ancestor of the demon clan on this vampire star.
The connection between this may lie with Yulias. After all, she is a hybrid of vampires and demons.
Now that Iulias has basically conquered it, there is no need to be too cautious and we can just exchange information normally.
"Hello, Your Excellency Demon Lord, I heard that you are the ancestor of the Demon Clan and I came here to visit you. I don't know your surname?"
The importance of the real name in this universe is quite high. If the other party is willing to reveal their name, you can tell whether their attitude is good or bad.
"Armonius."
The man's voice was rich and magnetic. After briefly revealing his real name, he remained silent.
It can be initially concluded that he has no intention to fight, so he might as well ask himself.
"Okay, Lord Armonius, Julius has returned. I think we are no longer hostile, right?"
He continued to look at Yang Ming expressionlessly, taking it as his acquiescence.
"I wonder what's so special about Yulias? Your Excellency is asked to come here specially."
Let’s start the conversation around the saint’s life experience. After all, the main connection between me and the other person now is with her.
"She is the lord of blessings in all directions, I am only looking after her safety."
It seems quite considerate, but blessings from all directions, if you look at the racial characteristics of Yulias currently, there are blood race, demon race, and feather race.
These races correspond to different ancestors. If the power of the ancestors is used as the source of blessings, they are the ancestors of the blood race, the demon king, and the god of faith.
Then who else? Who will be the fourth being who blesses Yulias?
Regarding this matter, you can ask Yulias to see what other racial characteristics she has. Compared to this, there is a more important question I want to ask first.
"I would like to ask you what is your relationship with the ancestor of the blood clan and the God of Faith?"
Yulias will be selected as the object of blessing by four extraordinary beings at the same time, so these beings themselves should have some kind of connection, otherwise they would not have such a tacit understanding and cooperate directly.
"Apostle, we are all one of the twelve apostles, and we are the ones assigned by His Majesty the Emperor."
The amount of information in Demon Lord's words was so large that Yang Ming immediately activated [Thinking Acceleration] to sort out the information first.
First, I searched the keyword "Twelve Apostles" in the knowledge base.
Since the word 'emperor' is used, it most likely refers to the person Yang marked as the 'most necessary target' in the war room.
So I won’t look at the origin of the Twelve Apostles to avoid accidentally seeing the emperor’s real name.
The apostles themselves also have real names, so the key information is further restricted.
After a series of restrictions, the results are as follows:
[The purpose of the Twelve Apostles is to complete the tasks assigned by the emperor, and they have been active in the world as early as ancient times.]
[The following format is ‘the x-th apostle’: ‘content of the mission represented’, ‘Yang Ming’s current known title of the object’]
[The First Apostle: Exploring the Boundary of the Universe, Chief Pioneer]
[The Second Apostle: Collecting Civilized Faith, God of Faith]
[The Third Apostle: Inheriting the Cultural Self, Ghost King]
[The Fourth Apostle: Interdependence for survival, the ancestor of the blood race]
[The Fifth Apostle: Witness the Beginning and End of the Universe, Fountain of Youth]
[The Sixth Apostle: Exploring Possible Branches, Demon Lord]
[The Seventh Apostle: Maintaining the Stability of Time and Space, the First Universe Administrator]
[The Eighth Apostle: Copy the Perfect Self, Devourer of Worlds]
[The Ninth Apostle: Pursuit of Ultimate Power, Unknown]
[The Tenth Apostle: The Eternal Way of Life, Unknown]
[The Eleventh Apostle: Converting to the Ancestral Realm, Unknown]
[The Twelfth Apostle: Looking for the Source of Magic, Unknown]
After reading this information, discuss the corresponding content with Yang first.
"That target with the title of 'Emperor' is actually so powerful? I took a quick look at these apostle titles. They are all big shots, right?"
"They no longer have any subordinate relationship with the emperor, but of course they will still be given face."
"That's it, let's look at each one."
Yang Ming decided to start with the first apostle and ask them one by one.
"First of all, the first apostle is the leader of our pioneers. Celia mentioned before that it was the other party who rescued her and sent her to the ancestral ritual team."
Its mission is to explore the boundaries of the universe, which happens to be in line with the overall goals and needs of the Pioneers.
"I guess your team was specially trained by the leader of the Pioneers, right?"
"If this is the case, it can explain why Hidden Blade Ashe directly suggested that Li Xiaoge come to the Ancestral Ceremony Team. Maybe she herself knows some of the truth."
"Hmm, then if you have a chance in the future, let's ask Li Xiaoge and Ai Xi."
Regarding the first apostle, let’s stop here. Let’s take a look at the second apostle.
"So, the second apostle, the mission is the God of Faith, and the content is to collect the faith of civilization, which is consistent with what he does, but I don't know much about the Yu clan he created."
"Basically, the Yu Clan uses the power of faith as its main fighting method, so the main organization this race belongs to is the Exorcist Holy Order."
"I see. When you mentioned the Exorcist Holy Group, I understood that this race is mainly responsible for eliminating the aliens lurking in the human population."
...Thinking about it carefully, I suddenly felt something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, these alien races are aliens themselves, right?"
Although there are not many aliens who can help humans, it is quite surprising to directly become a member of a human organization like the Exorcist Order.
"Maybe the Exorcist Holy Order itself doesn't care so much about this kind of thing, right? After all, Yulias was also canonized as a saint by this organization."
That being said, that's true, let's forget about it for now.
"Okay, let's look at the third apostle first, King of Ghosts. Have we seen this title before?"
There has never been a ghost king in my memory, but could it be...
"I must have seen this before, because we are the race she created."
"Is it the ghost tribe? In other words, the third apostle is your mother?"
"That's right. To inherit the cultural self, she accomplishes this task by copying her own abilities to others, and then transforming the other person's race."
"It turns out this is the inheritance method, I understand."
But if you think about it carefully, even Yang's mother once belonged to the emperor. Who is she?
Forget it, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. Let’s take a look at the next apostle first.
