"What are you pretending, you have a good relationship with Augustus."

"I'm not pretending, but my relationship with Augustus isn't good, it's average."

"Ordinary friendship, hiding the identity of a human being for him for more than a thousand years, and even other princes don't know."

Hearing this, Lilia laughed: "Well, I do think he's a very interesting guy, but unfortunately, I'm pretty nice to him, but he doesn't reciprocate anything for me, I don't know much about him other than he is human, and I know Ludmila better than Augustus." ”

Zero nodded: "It's pretty honest, but I still know what you're thinking right now." ”

When Zero said this, the smile on Lili's face disappeared.

Zero didn't care, and went on to say: "You are different from Labis, you are a restless fellow, and the other princes have left their clans to their henchmen to take care of, but you have found time to manage the clan.

You seem to others because you're bored, but do you think you can hide it from me?

You've been wooing powerful bloods, and you're also looking for powerful humans to be your blood servants, if I'm not mistaken, you tried to win over that demon imp last time, right? ”

"Zero, these things have nothing to do with the Devourer." Lily smiled and said with a smile.

"It's really okay, but you have a problem with your mentality, I advise you not to have your own goals, the Devourer is not something you can deal with half-heartedly, concentrate on it, don't use her as a tool."

Lilia was silent.

Claudia was confused by Zero's words, and although she didn't understand, she also heard something.

"Lilia, I want to talk to Claudia alone, can I ask you out?"

"Of course."

Click.

The door was slammed behind the back.

Only Claudia and Zero two were left in the room.

Claudia stood there, and then a chair in a dark corner slowly moved over on its own, dragged across the wooden floor, gurgling, and stopped behind her.

This is...... Sit yourself down?

"When are you going to stand there, aren't you tired?"

“…… Thank you. ”

"Listen carefully to what I'm going to say next, it's about your mother, Ludmila, and what your father is, and what Lilia is going to do now, and what you should do."

"If you're referring to the old patriarch Ludmila, then I need to correct that she's not my mother."

"Well, I know, but I'll say that your proud appearance is a lot like Ludmila."

Zero's tone was old-fashioned, like an old man who couldn't die, his crimson pupils glowing slightly even in the dark.

"The origin of everything, we have to start from the holy war, during the holy war, there were things that the patriarchs didn't know now, these things were only known to the four princes, and they didn't mention this matter, I think the reason is that those four people have vaguely noticed the truth about the true ancestor."

"The truth about the True Ancestor?"

"Yes, I didn't get to participate in that crusade at the time, my strength wasn't enough, but I was just a little bit qualified to participate, compared to those four scumbags, I should be quite strong, but you can't imagine how strong the top of the princes was at that time.

It was a time that your generation could not have imagined.

And I know better than the four of them what kind of existence the True Ancestor is, he is the origin of the Blood Clan. ”

Claudia changed color when she heard this: "Could it be ...... Is the True Ancestor really a man who was banished by the gods? Did the True Ancestor really challenge the gods? ”

At this time, anyone will think of the myth that the ancestor of the Bloodline challenged the gods because of his too great power, and after defeat, he received the eternal curse of the night.

"It's not what you think, the little ghost is too rich in imagination, although I don't know much about the specifics, but I know that the true ancestor can devour the blood clan, and sleeping in front of him is not an obstacle to killing, and the prince who gets his blood also has the ability to devour the blood clan, and there are only a few such princes. You get the idea, right? ”

Claudia's mind was confused, and she couldn't sort out the meaning of Zero's words.

"I ...... I don't understand. ”

Zero sighed: "It's really stupid, think about it, the current Devourer, isn't it very similar to the True Ancestor?" ”

"Yes."

"Your mother has the blood of your ancestors."

"You know?"

"Of course, after that, the blood of the True Ancestor went to your father's body, and before that, your father was a human."

In an instant, some of the chaotic clues in Claudia's mind connected on its own!

True Ancestors can devour the Bloodline!

It was the mother who possessed the blood of the true ancestor, and then the father!

After that, my father was devoured by Ogeria, and now Ogeria is the Devourer! She can devour the Bloodline!

Claudia's mouth was wide open and her eyes widened as she wanted to say something, but she hesitated in her heart, so she couldn't say it.

Her expression made Zero smile: "It seems that you also thought of it, that is just my speculation, I think, this is the reason why those princes did not hesitate to start a rebellion during the holy war, and now in your opinion, the blood clan is declining, but in fact, in the eyes of those princes who have died, they have succeeded." ”

Claudia understood.

The Devourer is very similar to the True Ancestor, and it can even be said that the True Ancestor is the real Devourer.

Ignoring the night and devouring the same kind, he can destroy the blood clan in a single thought, as long as he thinks, the blood clan is like his food, in a sense, the true ancestor is no longer a blood clan, he is a higher level of existence.

Claudia can imagine how fearful the princes were of the True Ancestors at that time, so much so that they started that rebellion.

If you think about it carefully, maybe even the holy war is not accidental, if the princes had the strength to launch a rebellion, then they would have done it a long time ago, why wait until the time of the holy war? After listening to Zero's words, the holy war was like an opportunity for those princes.

If the Devourer in the thousand-year-old prophecy is an existence that must disappear, then the True Ancestor is the same.

Well, probably jihad...... It was originally a step in the plan of the Blood Princes!

It's all about erasing this strongest within the race! The biggest variable! He even did not hesitate to let the blood clan curl up and hide in the corners of the continent in the future, buried deep in the past history.

"Why did the Prince do this? Although the True Ancestor can devour his own kind, he is also the First Ancestor! Claudia shook her head in disbelief.

Zero smiled disdainfully, "Then why are you killing the Devourer now?" He's just eaten a few Bloods, so why are you afraid of being like that? ”

"She's going to get stronger and she's going to eat everyone eventually!"

"So how can you be sure that True Ancestor won't do that? The True Ancestor is even more terrifying than the Devourer, he can easily destroy the Bloodline. If you think about it, what is the difference between this behavior and the captive breeding of humans by the Blood Clan? Maybe he just didn't do it because he didn't plug his teeth enough. ”

"How is that possible?"

"It's just a casual remark, in the final analysis, the motive for the rebellion is not at all whether the True Ancestor has the idea of destroying the Blood Clan, but as long as he has that idea, the Blood Clan will be extinct. The same goes for the Devourer, even if the Devourer doesn't have the idea of devouring the Blood, will the Patriarchs let her go? The answer is clear. ”

Claudia was speechless.
