Chapter 142: Map Bug

"Lord Kamu · Dragon? Why are you here?"

Looking at the Terror Demon grabbing Ge Li En's collar, Miss Mi Ya's face was full of surprise.

On one hand, she didn't expect the deputy director's temper to be so good, not getting angry even when his collar was grabbed, and on the other hand, she didn't expect the head of the Dragon family to be here... strictly speaking, this matter had nothing to do with him.

Standing next to Miss Mi Ya, Luo Yan was seeing this Mr. Lord Kamu for the first time.

However, his intuition told him that this Mr. Lord Kamu was not seeing him for the first time, and had even been watching him in the dark for a while.

As he expected, the Terror Demon let go of Ge Li En's collar, strode to his front, and stared straight into his eyes with copper bell-like eyes.

"My brother had a problem in your territory, why do you think I'm here?"

Luo Yan looked at him expressionlessly.

"Did I ask you?"

This sentence choked Lord Kamu.

Luo Yan indeed hadn't asked him why he was here... that sentence was asked by Miss Mi Ya on the side.

"Don't play dumb with me!" Lord Kamu roared angrily, took a step forward, and continued aggressively. "You know what that is, only Chaos can interfere with the sub-space channel! I need an explanation, why did Chaos appear in your Demon King territory!"

"The answer is obvious, isn't it?" Luo Yan said slowly. "All the problems appeared after I left, and after your brother came over."

Lord Kamu · Dragon narrowed his eyes dangerously and lowered his hoarse voice.

"Are you questioning the loyalty of the Dragon family?"

He also guessed a little.

The arena's projection interruption might be related to Chaos.

"Then what about you? Questioning the Demon God's choice?"

Luo Yan looked at him without changing his face, and continued.

"Even the respected and omnipotent Demon God hasn't questioned my loyalty, when is it the turn of the Dragon family to question it?"

Lord Kamu's expression stagnated, and he said slightly embarrassed.

"I didn't mean that—"

"You meant exactly that

"This is an internal affair of the Dragon family, I have no obligation to explain it to you!" Lord Kamu Dragon growled angrily, not realizing that the initiative of the conversation had already fallen into the hands of the man in front of him.

Luo Yan smiled faintly and continued.

"Indeed, you have no obligation to explain to me, but I'm afraid you'll have to explain it to the Truth Department."

Lord Kamu stared at him angrily.

"What do you mean!"

"The labyrinth in Lei Ming County doesn't have problems early or late, but it just happens to have problems after I leave and when your Hellfire Heavy Infantry Regiment arrives. It's hard for me not to suspect that this is a setup you deliberately made."

Lord Kamu said angrily: "This is slander!"

"Slander? I prefer to call it reasonable suspicion," Luo Yan looked at the angry Lord Kamu and continued expressionlessly. "After all, from any angle, you are the only beneficiary."

"Indeed," Ge Li En, who was adjusting his collar, nodded with a thoughtful expression. "Something like this happening is of no benefit to our Demon King. He doesn't need to play such petty tricks to win at all. I believe all the spectators in the arena that night can prove this... The battle last night can be called an overwhelming victory. I was also watching in the arena at the time, and it was simply brilliant."

"Thank you for the evaluation." Luo Yan smiled and nodded to Ge Li En, then looked at the wide-eyed Lord Kamu and continued. "As Director Ge Li En said, I have absolutely no need to prepare a chaos in my own territory that even I cannot control the fire of, just for a mere duel."

Ge Li En smiled and took over Luo Yan's words, continuing along his line of thought.

"Only a contestant at a disadvantage needs unexpected means, but I don't think Mr. Xi Nuo Dragon feels he is at a disadvantage. After all, I see he is quite confident."

"So there is only one explanation," looking at the wide-eyed Lord Kamu, Luo Yan's bright smile gradually carried a hint of coldness as the dagger was revealed. "To ensure his younger brother wins, Mr. Lord Kamu prepared two trump cards for him."

"This is your duel! What does it have to do with me!?" Lord Kamu was a little panicked.

Although there was no such thing at all, Luo Yan spoke with such confidence and reason that even he couldn't help but wonder if it was true.

Although Hellfire was his personal guard, the Dragon family didn't have him as the only one with a say after all. In case some old immortal thing stuffed this card into his brother's hand, he might not necessarily know.

This situation is not uncommon.

Hell society is different from surface human society. Most high-tier demons live for a long time. Although many powerful families have retired patriarchs, they don't die immediately and even continue to exert their influence in the dark.

Only a very small number of long-lived families, similar to the Kelin family, have established a Senate system, further defining the boundaries of power in family affairs.

However, the Dragon family clearly doesn't belong to this type.

"Since this is our duel and it has nothing to do with you, why are you here?" Luo Yan blocked Lord Kamu with one sentence and continued calmly.

"Clearly, the result of the duel is closely related to your interests, and it's not ruled out that you are the one instigating it behind the scenes."

"That's what I think too."

Looking at the speechless Lord Kamu, Ge Li En analyzed reasonably.

"... If his brother wins, the Dragon family can take advantage of the situation to demand that Mr. Luo Yan fulfill the agreement and hand over the Great Cemetery to the Dragon family. And if an accident happens, they can splash dirty water on our Demon King... For example, Chaos is a good trump card."

When he said this, Ge Li En deliberately paused for two seconds and cast a surprised look at Lord Kamu.

"Mr. Lord Kamu Dragon... although I would like to say that there may be some misunderstanding, you may really need to explain it to the people of the Truth Department."

Clearly, this Deputy Director is not really good-tempered or forgiving, just a bit cunning, only taking action when the situation is favorable.

Looking at the two guys singing in harmony, Lord Kamu Dragon gritted his teeth, his fists clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched.

Looking at this terror demon on the verge of going berserk, Luo Yan was not panicked at all. Although he was only Bai Yin-tier, this was the Demon Capital.

Perhaps they thought of the same thing; this guy finally chose not to act here, glared at him fiercely, and turned to leave.

Looking at Lord Kamu Dragon who turned and left, Miss Mi Ya, who had been holding her breath and not speaking, quietly poked Luo Yan's arm and whispered.

"So... is the situation in your Great Cemetery really caused by the Dragon family? That... Chaos?"

After listening to Luo Yan's analysis for so long, she was convinced!

"Just speculation, after all, we have no evidence for the time being." Luo Yan shrugged his shoulders lightly.

"That's right, just our reasonable speculation... Alright, the annoying guy is finally gone, we should discuss serious issues."

Ge Li En coughed and looked at the two, changing to a serious expression and continuing.

"What should we do now?"

Even if the blame was pinned on Xi Nuo Dragon, it wouldn't change the fact that the Great Cemetery is currently facing the threat of Chaos.

Due to the interference of Chaos in the sub-space channel, the Demon King Management Department is currently completely in the dark about the information there, and can't figure anything out. Even the encounter with the Chaos invasion is just a deduction based on experience, and whether it is true or not remains to be observed.

Actually, this is inevitable. After all, the Great Cemetery is too far from Hell, and basically relies on Luo Yan's own reports.

Now that Luo Yan himself is in the Demon Capital, isn't the Demon Capital completely in the dark?

In a sense, this is also one of the reasons why the Demon King Management Department is reluctant to let Demon Kings take leave to return to the Demon Capital.

Actually, Luo Yan is not completely ignorant of what happened in the Demon King territory. After all, his Natural Disaster System is not based on the principle of sub-space, so naturally, it won't be interfered with.

However, he couldn't talk about the players' affairs. If he did, it would involve divinity, which in turn would involve a series of problems.

So he could only pretend not to understand the situation in his territory and first asked about the problem he was most concerned about.

"Is the teleportation array still usable?"

Ge Li En shook his head.

"The one in the Great Cemetery is clearly unusable. The corrosion caused by the Chaos invasion often interferes with sub-space for tens or even hundreds of kilometers."

Luo Yan pondered for a moment and said.

"What if it's used forcibly?"

Ge Li En was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said.

"I advise you not to think about it. There is a certain probability of being forcibly pulled to the other side of the Chaos Gate, and the closer to the source of pollution, the more likely it is."

No one knows what is on the other side of the Chaos Gate.

Some people have gone in, but very few have returned safely.

Some claimed to have seen a huge sun, some said they saw a broken moon, some said it was impossible to breathe there, and some said that hallucinogenic honey flowed in the air there.

Others encountered thousands of hungry insect swarms there, or strange mutated creatures...

Some scholars speculate that those are dead worlds completely conquered by Chaos.

In short, it's not a good place.

When he said this, Ge Li En paused for a moment and continued with a serious expression.

"If you must go back at this time, we can only send you to the nearest teleportation array."

Luo Yan asked immediately.

"Where is that?"

Ge Li En replied.

"Broken Rock Peak, a branch of the Ten Thousand Ren Mountain Range, probably in the northeast of Lei Ming County. There is a place called 'Calamity Fortress', which is the territory of Hell Dwarves. Hell does not directly rule there, but the local Hell Dwarves believe in Lord Lord Lord Bayeli, and our respected Lord Lord Lord Bayeli has also performed miracles there."

Luo Yan said thoughtfully.

"In other words, it's our vassal?" Ge Li En nodded.

"That's right, but our vassals have always been slippery, so you'd better not count on them to help you too much. If the situation is bad, they run faster than anyone else... Of course, having said that, borrowing a path from them is no problem."

Luo Yan was not surprised by this at all.

Most of those who work for Hell are guys like this, even Deputy Director Ge Li En who is standing in front of him, not to mention others.

"Understood."

"What do you say? Want to go over? I can arrange a guide for you." Ge Li En looked at Luo Yan, his expectant eyes almost answering for him.

The Chaos crisis occurred on the northeast coast of the Vortex Sea, far from Hell, which is actually not that fatal for Hell, which is separated by the vast ocean of the entire Vortex Sea.

It is clear that what Ge Li En really cares about is not the Great Cemetery, but that he doesn't want the Demon King territory there to have problems at the moment he approved the Demon King's leave.

That would mean taking responsibility!

Miss Mi Ya reached out and pinched Luo Yan's sleeve, looking at him with worry, and whispered.

"Do you really want to go back so early? I'm not worried about you... I just think it would be safer to send someone over first?"

"Send who?" Luo Yan smiled and said.

"I'll help you find a way!" Miss Mi Ya said seriously.

This guy didn't seem to realize that her strength had already been upgraded to Bai Yin-tier, and she still treated herself as a Bronze Demon King to take care of.

But this is also inevitable.

Bai Yin-tier succubi are clearly not as keen in insight as Diamond-tier succubi.

Luo Yan smiled and said.

"I appreciate your kindness, but Broken Rock Peak is not very close to the Great Cemetery. By the time the people we send to scout the situation return, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Ge Li En immediately followed his words and said.

"That's what I thought too... By the way, what is 'too late'? Is it a specialty of Lei Ming County?"

Miss Mi Ya glared at him fiercely.

However, Ge Li En pretended not to see it.

Luo Yan said with a smile.

"A type of food, that's not the point."

When he said this, Luo Yan paused for a moment and continued looking at Ge Li En.

"I have a few days left of my vacation, and I plan to use the remaining time to prepare... By the way, my subordinates are still here, is it convenient for them to go back with me?"

Starting the teleportation array requires both ends of the teleportation array to pay for magic crystals, or use a spellcaster to prepare. And in either case, it is a considerable expense.

The Hell Dwarves of Broken Rock Peak are only vassals of His Majesty the Demon God after all, and Luo Yan is not sure if those people are willing to pay the teleportation costs for him.

After listening to Luo Yan's concerns, Ge Li En immediately said generously.

"These are all small problems. The teleportation cost of goblins is approximately equal to goods of the same weight, very cheap! At worst, you can bring some magic crystals when you go over and make up for them when you arrive."

Just in case, Luo Yan asked one more question.

"These magic crystals don't need to be prepared by me, right?"

"Haha, how can I let you spend money! Just leave it to me."

Actually, the expenses of the teleportation array were originally the responsibility of the Demon King himself, but now it is a special situation after all, so naturally, it cannot be treated with the usual methods.

What Ge Li En feared most was Luo Yan continuing to stay here, so he took on this expense without saying a word.

Anyway, it wasn't his own money he was spending, but the budget of the Internal Affairs Department.

The return plan and the countermeasures against Chaos were determined, and it was almost evening, and the Demon King Management Department was also at the time to get off work.

It just so happened that Miss Mi Ya was here, and Luo Yan hitched a ride in her carriage again.

He always felt that most of the days he took leave to go home were spent in the carriage of the Pa De Li Qi family.

Looking at the Pegasus that was already familiar with him, Luo Yan couldn't help but think.

Should I buy one of my own?

This thought only flashed in Luo Yan's mind and didn't stay for too long.

Because he soon thought that he didn't even have a place to live when he returned to the Demon Capital, and had to stay in Priest Jiefuli's temple.

Although the priests, acolytes, and children in the temple all liked him quite a bit, he was an adult after all, and always mooching off food, drink, and lodging was really inappropriate, and it was easy to make people misunderstand that he was a gigolo.

This won't do.

He is a Demon King after all!

Not to mention a castle with a grand style like the Dragon family, shouldn't he at least have a small western-style house with a balcony?

Just as Luo Yan was thinking about whether to buy a house in the Demon Capital, a sharp pain suddenly came from his arm.

He turned his face to look, and saw Miss Mi Ya sitting next to him staring at him angrily, baring her teeth and claws with an unkind expression.

"Hey! Are you listening to me?"

Luo Yan was stunned.

Did you say anything?

"Sorry... I was just thinking about things after going back," Luo Yan smiled embarrassedly and said apologetically, "What did you say just now? Can you repeat it?"

Although she was angry in her heart, considering that Luo Yan was considering serious matters, Miss Mi Ya didn't argue with him.

"I was just saying, is there anything I can help with!"

Luo Yan wanted to say no, but thinking of the embarrassment of being short-handed when fighting Chaos before, he immediately changed his mind.

"Then... please help me look for some mercenaries."

"Mercenaries?" Miss Mi Ya was slightly stunned and looked at him unexpectedly and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of hiring mercenaries?"

Luo Yan said with a smile.

"I was just thinking, anyway, this time we are using the magic crystals of the Demon King Management Department, so why not just bring more people. It just so happens that we have to pass through Broken Rock Peak, so bringing more people will make it easier to take care of each other on the road."

"That's indeed a good idea," Miss Mi Ya touched her chin and nodded, agreeing. "Alright, I'll keep an eye out for you... but let's say it in advance, there aren't many mercenary groups near the Demon Capital, so you might not find one in such a short time."

Hell's mercenaries are mainly concentrated on the front lines and the borders of various vassals. The Demon Capital mainly has abundant slave resources, which need to be trained by yourself after buying them back.

Luo Yan said with a smile.

"Well, thank you! Just try your best to find them, it doesn't matter if you can't find them."

Looking at Luo Yan who was thanking her solemnly, Miss Mi Ya's cheeks were slightly hot, and she unconsciously moved her eyes away, her index finger winding around the tip of her hair.

"You don't have to thank me so formally... Besides, I, I am your manager after all, helping you is also helping myself..."

The carriage soon arrived at its destination.

Saying goodbye to the reluctant Miss Mi Ya, Luo Yan returned to the temple, stayed with Priest Jiefuli as usual, waited until dinner time to pray with everyone in the temple, ate together, and then played hide-and-seek in the backyard...

The children here are too lonely, the acolytes never play with them, and only Luo Yan, this Demon King, is more easy-going.

Speaking of this, there is another small episode. During this period, people from the Truth Department came once. Listening to You You, it seems they were asking about his situation.

Priest Jiefuli chatted with that stern judge for a few words, answered some questions, and then sent the latter away.

Finding Luo Yan who was "playing the Demon King catching people", Priest Jiefuli said in surprise.

"Your territory has Chaos corrosion?"

Luo Yan spread his hands helplessly.

"To tell you the truth, this is the second time."

The first time was the treacherous fog No Weier. He had reported it to the Demon King Management Department before, but hadn't told anyone else.

If the people from the Truth Department were interested, they should see it in the files.

Priest Jiefuli nodded and said worriedly.

"Then you have to be careful, Chaos might be targeting you."

Luo Yan smiled freely and said.

"If they target me, let them target me. There are plenty of people targeting me."

He didn't tell Priest Jiefuli.

Actually, even earlier, he had received the blessing of the Dragon God.

This is also one of the reasons why he doesn't care about the embrace of the blood clan.

Accompanying the children in the temple to play wildly until night, Luo Yan went to the bathhouse to take a shower, then lay flat on the bed and entered the official website.

As early as the afternoon, players had reported encountering a bug on the b5 floor, suspected of being stuck in a dungeon that hadn't been built yet.

Just when Luo Yan intended to see what kind of trouble they had encountered, a familiar ID suddenly caught his attention.

Yi Ye Zhiqiu: "Brothers!!!"

Yi Ye Zhiqiu: "This game is simply awesome!!!"

(Thanks to "Die Qi°" for the alliance leader reward!!! The cold is finally almost better... By the way, I found out that sneezing too much actually makes your butt hurt, it's so weird. --)
