Chapter 255: Judgment will come eventually

At the same time Lord Kamu surrendered, the news that the adjudicators of the Ministry of Truth had headed to the Dragon estate spread across the entire Demon Capital with incredible speed, as if it had grown wings.

In the West District of the Demon Capital, near the slums, the Black Scale Tavern, the dim candlelight flickered, casting the shadows of demons with horns onto the moldy ceiling.

More than a month ago, the demons and undead here had toasted to the Demon King who spoke up for justice.

And today, the little demon delivering newspapers brought them a new side dish.

It was the latest issue of the "Demon Capital Daily."

【Ministry of Truth adjudicators enter the Dragon family estate!】

The fewer the words, the bigger the event.

That concise headline confirmed the rumor that had been half a step ahead, putting a final stamp on the Dragon family's stumble.

The tavern was bustling with clinking glasses and laughter, as lively as a festival.

A hell dwarf with a face full of flesh slammed the table hard, his wine-red nose hanging from his beard like a magic crystal lamp, shouting loudly with spit flying everywhere.

"... The Ministry of Truth is playing for real this time! Have you heard? The great bell of the temple rang three times, and the red-robed adjudicators set off under the escort of Death Knights! Worried that the Dragon family would resist and threaten the Demon Capital, they surrounded that estate inside and out in three layers, and guess what happened in the end? Haha, that cowardly head of the house surrendered!"

The demon sitting on the side was the same, laughing with a cow-like roar, gulping down a mouthful of inferior beer, and shouting happily.

"Deserved! The Dragon family was indeed too much! Those nobles have all forgotten their glory, demons don't look like demons, succubi don't look like succubi, completely forgetting their original promises, instead learning to enjoy themselves like greedy human nobles! They should have been punished long ago!"

"Exactly! I've long found them unpleasant!" The goblin sitting next to him burped, shook his dizzy head, and muttered, "Speaking of which... what was it for?"

The glasses of the hell dwarfs and demons were too big for the goblin, who could stick his head inside.

It was precisely because of this that after one glass, he was already unclear-headed.

The lively atmosphere in the tavern didn't diminish much because of this, but the topic at this table paused for two seconds.

A hell dwarf frowned and thought for two seconds before saying.

"It seems to be... the plague at Black Wind Fort, heard they bribed the Serrated Chamber of Commerce to poison the water source at Black Wind Fort."

"Damn, those animals!"

The scarred demon veteran cursed angrily, and the succubus sitting next to him hesitated before saying.

"Then the disastrous defeat at Sardo Port was also... I mean, could it really be intentional? I saw Miss Aisha Bell write in the 'Abyss Times' that General Sebes was an old subordinate of a certain elder of the Dragon family, do you think he really cooperated with the Dragon family to do that kind of thing... defecting to the false gods of surface humans."

The demons sitting around were stunned for a moment, exchanging glances.

This matter had passed for too long, and they didn't know many details to begin with.

"It's not impossible. The magic crystal cannons put too much pressure on the Os Empire, they had reason to prevent the promotion of new weapons for the war department, so they had reason to do such a thing."

"... A bit of a stretch, the high-ups aren't blind, I feel it's at most making a mountain out of a molehill."

"Indeed, the Demon God is watching them, if you say they pushed the problem to a low-level human born in a temple, I believe it, but if you say they killed eighty thousand Demon God subjects for their own selfish desires... heh, I think they are tired of living!"

"Hell is not the hypocritical Os Empire, humans don't believe in Shengxisi, but we demons really believe in the Demon God! Although I also feel that those sitting in the Council building are a bunch of idiots, but if you say they publicly plotted at the front line and betrayed the Demon God, that's nonsense."

"The adjudicators of the Ministry of Truth are no pushovers, if General Sebes really dared to do that, someone would be knocking on his tent door that very day... hey, sir, please come with us. At most, by the afternoon, those methods of the Ministry of Truth would make him spit out all the conspiracies. That guy reached the position of general, he wouldn't be so stupid as to accompany the Dragon family in going crazy with his own future!"

"Hey, sometimes I really don't understand what they are after... they have everything, money, power, supernatural power, even fame, what else do you think those guys want?"

"Ghost knows, let the people from the Ministry of Truth judge them!" A hell dwarf muttered, raising a glass full of foam, "Cheers to the Demon God! Cheers to justice!"

"Cheers!!!"

The crisp clinking of glasses ended this unpleasant topic, and the atmosphere in the tavern became lively again.

Although the wind and clouds were changing outside that crumbling broken door, at least what they believed in still existed, the great Lord Lord Bayeli was still watching them, and there was still a Demon King speaking for them.

They didn't want much.

This was already enough!

It wasn't just the "scraps" in the slums clinking glasses, many high-ranking demons living in estates also excitedly opened champagne.

No one expected that the end of this matter would be such an outcome.

If the low-level demons were just looking for an explanation, then what they got were visible benefits.

If a Demon King falls, they can at most eat a piece of meat.

But if the Dragon family falls, the benefits they can share are too many.

Especially since no one expected that Lord Kamu, the current head of the Dragon family, did not "put the overall situation first" and shoulder everything alone, but insisted that he had been bewitched, and bit out Elder Zakro who was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

It is said that he was instigated by Hino Dragon, the next head of the Dragon family, and originally according to Elder Zakro's arrangement, it should have been Hino who destroyed his relatives for justice and reported Lord Kamu to make a contribution.

No one knew why he gave up the opportunity to make a contribution and instead did the stupid thing of self-mutilation.

Even fewer people thought that the fool who had no presence would have the courage to do so!

Elder Zakro falling at this time was undoubtedly a disaster for the Dragon family.

They lost not only the support of an Amethyst-tier powerhouse, but also the connections and resources Elder Zakro had accumulated in his hands over the past century.

According to common sense, even if there were contradictions between the new head of the house and the family elders, they could wait for the storm to subside before conducting internal games to avoid losing the overall interests.

But no matter what, saying more now was just hindsight.

Lord Kamu's confession had a fatal blow to Zakro, and even the turmoil brought about by this move had exceeded the impact of the Black Wind Fort plague incident on the upper-level order of the Demon Capital.

At the same time Lord Kamu surrendered, the Hell Intelligence Department interrogated Lord Kamu and sent people to the prison of the Ministry of Truth to monitor the latter, actually protecting him in secret.

This was an order personally signed by the intelligence chief, Duke Karamos, and the reason was that this was no longer just a matter of faith, but concerned the safety of the Demon Capital and even Hell.

After all, the adjudicator troops of the Ministry of Truth searched the Dragon family estate and did not find Zakro.

Clearly, even though he had reached a dead end, he still did not intend to surrender.

At the same time, on the distant front line, the camp of the Red Flame Legion.

Night had just fallen, and a murderous aura quietly shrouded the heads of all the soldiers.

A team of fully armed Abyss Knights suddenly left the station of the Ministry of Truth and, led by the adjudicators, headed straight for the command tent in the center of the camp.

The soldiers in the camp didn't know what had happened, but they instinctively sounded the alarm and gathered in front of the command tent, blocking these uninvited guests with their bodies.

Riding on a tall ghost horse, Xilong slightly raised his chin, his eyes coldly watching the group of soldiers.

"Are you trying to rebel? Move aside!"

The demons were in a commotion.

In the face of the Demon God's majesty, they subconsciously moved their feet backward, but in the end, they stopped.

A demon officer bit the bullet and walked up, a flattering smile on his face.

"My lord... is there some misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Xilong raised his eyebrows, sneered, and said, "Without solid evidence, would I come here to arrest people?"

After saying that, he shouted toward the back of the demon crowd, his voice stern.

"General Sebes, are you coming out yourself, or should my cavalry rush in to find you, think clearly."

After saying that, he paused for a moment and added a sentence at the end.

"If you are counting on the Dragon family to save you, I advise you to save it. Lord Kamu has surrendered and even supplied Zakro, since I am here today, you know what this means!"

The soldiers gathered around looked at each other, not understanding what this adjudicator was talking about.

They instinctively felt that their general might be involved in dirty politics, but they didn't know what role he played, let alone what had happened in the Demon Capital ten thousand miles away.

Just as the demons were exchanging confused glances, the curtain of the command tent suddenly opened.

General Sebes, clad in heavy armor, walked out from inside, his majestic face now filled with numbness and paleness, as if all the blood in his body had been drained.

A smile curled at the corners of Xilong's mouth, not too surprised by such an outcome.

General Sebes walked in front of his soldiers and gently patted one of the soldiers on the shoulder.

"Step back."

"General..." the demon sergeant stared at him blankly, his fists clenched tight, his expression as if to say, "Let's fight these guys to the death."

It was just losing a battle, why did those dogs enjoying themselves in the rear keep chasing his general!

It wasn't like they hadn't won before!

Before Sardo Port, they didn't know how many victories they had won!

Looking at that indignant expression, General Sebes suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, unable to face that young face, and could only hurriedly shift his gaze away, not looking at him.

Watching Sebes obediently stretch out his hands to be shackled, Xilong, wearing a red robe, nodded slightly, leaving him a little face, putting the half-taken scroll back into his bosom, and not publicly reading the charges the Ministry of Truth had prepared for him.

"... The War Department has relieved Sebes of all duties, and the position of commander of the Red Flame Legion is temporarily held by his adjutant, Balo, until the new appointment letter comes down."

Throwing down this sentence, Xilong raised the reins in his hand and left the panicked camp with the Abyss Knights and General Sebes who had already surrendered.

On the other side, in the Demon Capital, a team of fully armed demons also killed their way to the home of Vice Minister Havik of the Logistics Department with lightning speed, ignoring the protests of the caught-off-guard man and taking him down in one fell swoop.

All personnel involved in the Dragon family case, regardless of their position, were visited by the adjudicators of the Ministry of Truth.

There were also some smart guys who took the initiative to find the Ministry of Truth to explain their problems and drew a line with Elder Zakro, who was about to fall.

And thanks to this, as the investigation deepened, the Ministry of Truth dug up a pile of problems unrelated to the original case, and in the end, could only handle the countless problems together.

Before the whole case was cleared up, all demons involved would be transferred to designated locations for monitored residence and accept a joint investigation by the Ministry of Truth and the Intelligence Department.

Tonight in the Demon Capital was destined not to be calm...

And General Hamorton, the "Empire Griffin" far away in Sardo Port, would never have thought that his epic victory not only annihilated tens of thousands of demons, but also annihilated a group of parasites on the Demon God.

In the center of the Demon Capital, the temple of the Ministry of Truth, the nether flames illuminated the wide obsidian hall.

Rows of stone pillars engraved with the Demon God's emblem stood all around, and deep shadows moved slowly under the heavy dome.

This place was both like an abyss and like a dead cemetery, and even the air was filled with the smell of death.

And at the end of the stone pillars, a stone throne made of granite was located at the foot of the Demon God statue.

And on that stone throne, the Minister of Religion of Hell, Goligo Soren, sat quietly, the ghostly green soul-fire flowing slowly in the skull as if it had sunk into meditation.

At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the hall, and an adjudicator in a red robe stepped into the hall quickly, knelt on one knee under the stone steps, and held up the scroll in his hand with both hands.

"My lord... there is a new situation in the dungeon. Because the situation is quite special... you had better see it for yourself."

Hearing that hesitant voice, Goligo didn't say anything, just reached out his withered skeletal index finger and tapped forward lightly.

A transparent ripple spread from the adjudicator's hand, rolling the scroll in his hand into it.

The next instant, the scroll had slowly unfolded in front of Goligo—as if held by an invisible pair of hands.

This elderly lich quickly finished reading the contents of the scroll.

In just a few seconds, the soul-fire in his skull suddenly jumped violently for a moment, and a hint of imperceptible coldness leaked out from the deep eye sockets.

"He confessed everything?"

"Yes, my lord..." the adjudicator lowered his head, his voice steady and firm, "He not only confessed his own problems, but also mentioned in his confession that Zakro Dragon once instigated his son, Regi Dragon, to study 'secret arts of great disrespect', and used the labyrinth in Lei Ming County as a testing ground..."

The so-called art of great disrespect was actually a euphemism for studying the art of becoming a god.

This matter was a huge crime for ordinary demons, but for high-ranking demons, it was actually nothing.

After all, which demon didn't long to become a new Demon God? Everyone didn't say it on the surface, but in private, they all pondered it, just usually changing the name and not putting it on the table.

However, private was private after all, and public rebellion and having two hearts were different.

Soul-fire flickered uncertainly in Goligo's pupils, as if thinking about something.

And the adjudicator crawling under the stone steps held his breath, paused for a moment, and continued.

"In addition, Lord Kamu also confessed... Zakro promised him that if he got the complete notebook from Luo Yan, he would grant him power comparable to a god."

"Then... does Luo Yan have any problems?" Goligo asked thoughtfully.

The adjudicator had a look of regret on his face, lowered his head, and continued.

"We have sent people to the labyrinth in Lei Ming County, including the palace on the 18th floor, which is no different from the Regi Dragon era, including the location of the labyrinth core... In addition, he did follow the requirements of the Demon King Management Department to spread the Demon King's corruption locally, and the compiled classics also contain content about surrendering to the Demon God, all of which are consistent with his report at the debriefing meeting. There is no direct evidence to prove that Luo Yan continues to conduct Regi's experiments."

Goligo nodded slightly, his finger bones tapping lightly on the armrest of the seat, making a ticking sound.

"So, Regi Dragon's research actually had no reliable progress."

The adjudicator nodded and said.

"Yes... but there is no doubt that his notebook shows that he did engage in related research. And Lord Kamu's confession shows that Elder Zakro was also involved, and even from the beginning, they applied to go to the Lei Ming County labyrinth to serve as Demon King for this matter. And the reason they gave up Lei Ming County later was also because Elder Zakro believed Regi had failed..." Until the principal of the Demon King Academy recommended an excellent graduate to go to the labyrinth in Lei Ming County, who managed the originally dilapidated labyrinth in good order, so that Zakro mistakenly thought Luo Yan inherited an inheritance from Regi that he didn't know about.

This matter was a farce from beginning to end...

A faint white mist floated out of Goligo's skull, which seemed to be a sigh of regret.

Unlike the pressing intelligence minister and the sidelines-watching military minister and chief minister, he actually wanted to save Zakro Dragon, and the grand arrest was actually to give the latter time to wipe his ass.

However, all signs indicated that the guy had gone crazy, and even became unreasonable, asking for that non-existent thing again and again...

Perhaps returning to the reincarnation pool, washing away memories and reincarnating, was the best destination for that guy.

As for where to go in the next life, it was better to leave it to the respected Lord Lord Bayeli to judge.

"By the way, there is one more piece of news..."

The adjudicator crawling on the ground hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice, and continued, "We learned that about half a month ago, Luo Yan met with Hino Dragon. And the latter was the next head of the house originally arranged by Zakro."

The soul-fire swaying in Goligo's pupils suddenly contracted for a moment, staring at the adjudicator crawling on the ground.

!

"You mean, he instigated Hino to betray his grandfather?"

This guy actually calculated even Zakro's backup plan...

And it was before the latter even made a move!

Feeling the huge pressure on his shoulders, the adjudicator crawling on the ground had a hint of cold sweat on his forehead, and said tremblingly.

"We have no evidence... we only know they met, and don't know what they talked about specifically."

Goligo withdrew his gaze and leaned back against the back of the stone throne.

"Then don't talk nonsense."

"Yes..."

The adjudicator's shoulders trembled slightly, understanding the Minister of Religion's meaning, and at the same time sighed for Elder Zakro.

Even the only person who could protect him had abandoned him, it seemed the Dragon family was really finished this time...

On the other side, Black Wind Fort in the suburbs of the Demon Capital, the chaos that swept the entire city area had subsided.

Under the leadership of Snick, the Goblin Neighborhood Committee quickly took control of the situation, not only dumping the blame on those purged dead goblins, distributing relief supplies to residents affected by the chaos, distributing the antidote bestowed by Luo Yan to goblins and hell dwarfs poisoned by "corrupt blood", but also stabilizing the prices that had fluctuated violently due to the collapse of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance.

This riot itself was something they took the opportunity to launch, and releasing the button before it expanded was naturally a piece of cake for them, not to mention they also received support from the Black Wind Fort garrison and the Lord's Mansion.

Relying on those few cards personally bestowed by Luo Yan, Snick not only calmed the chaos in Black Wind Fort, restored the production of the magic crystal cannon factory, but also dealt with those thorns in the goblin community who didn't listen to him.

Luo Yan was very satisfied with this guy's performance.

Especially since this guy didn't get carried away because of the sesame-sized power in his hands, even if he replaced and even surpassed Grok's position, he still stood firmly on the side of the Lord's Mansion.

Clearly, Grok's death like a dead dog deeply stimulated this guy.

For a long time to come, he should not be able to forget that face...

Black Wind Fort Lord's Mansion.

Luo Yan and Mr. Festin sat together drinking afternoon tea, chatting about what had happened in the Demon Capital in the past two days.

Since Professor Adonia helped configure the antidote for corrupt blood, Luo Yan had "hurriedly" rushed back to Black Wind Fort to preside over the overall situation.

Although the Dragon family had shouldered all the blame, including the chaos in Black Wind Fort, it didn't mean that Luo Yan, as the local lord, could act as if nothing had happened and hang high.

After all, his persona in Hell was not a tyrant.

Moreover, as the local lord, now was the time to test his governance ability.

And the final result could be considered not to have let down the high hopes placed on him by many forces, the magic crystal cannon factory quickly resumed production, and even the production line of new equipment was not greatly affected.

The first batch of steam-powered magic crystal tanks was delivered to the front line on schedule.

Although Luo Yan felt that the actual combat effectiveness of that thing was probably not as good as the magic crystal cannon, he couldn't stop the military minister, Prince Prince Kelin, from liking those moving iron coffins, and even more liking the pies he drew when delivering the magic crystal tanks.

Being able to restore local production order in such a short time undoubtedly proved his ability to everyone who doubted him.

"... It's really unexpected, you actually really did it." Festin put the teacup in his hand back on the tray, looking at Luo Yan sitting opposite and smiling.

Luo Yan said casually.

"Are you talking about solving the plague in Black Wind Fort? That is Professor Adonia's credit, I even specially wrote a thank-you letter to the Demon Higher Academy."

Looking at Luo Yan who was playing dumb, Festin smiled.

"You know I'm not talking about this."

"Oh?" Luo Yan smiled faintly, his tone gentle, "Then I guessed wrong, thank you for your appreciation."

Festin looked at this young Demon King with a smile, the more he looked, the more satisfied he felt.

If he was just optimistic about this young man with unlimited potential two months ago, then now this "optimism" probably had a few more parts of rare admiration and appreciation.

He had seriously thought about it, if it were himself in the same position, facing a behemoth with such power as the Dragon family as a Bai Yin-tier demon, he would probably only have the way of letting Lady Serena, who admired him, get pregnant as soon as possible.

This actually wasn't shameful.

Anyone who has truly read the history of Hell and the surface would find that the epics written by both demons and humans cannot escape the most primitive desires, even Lord Lord Bayeli got a barrel of gold from his father-in-law, and there were many more going forward, so what is there to be shameful about?

Honestly, he hadn't not hinted at this—

As long as Luo Yan and Mia combined, the Partridge family would be his eternal backing, and his future career would be like that day at Mia's birthday party, forever standing in the center of the stage.

And if they had children, then he would be a member of the Partridge family, and even the Demon God wouldn't be able to touch him easily.

Saying it was using the Dragon family might not be very elegant, but taking advantage of the situation was definitely an appropriate way to say it.

However, Luo Yan's answer at the time was beyond his expectation—

This novice Demon King who had just started out actually planned to change the head of the Dragon family!

He had lived for so many years, and it was the first time he had heard such an interesting statement.

And what made Festin even more incredible was that this kid actually "spoke the law", not only really changing the head of the Dragon family, but also relying on a clever trick of alienation to take down Elder Zakro, who was truly controlling the Dragon family, by pulling the firewood from under the cauldron.

Although Luo Yan didn't admit that he did it, the entire upper-class social circle of the Demon Capital was rumored that the new head of the Dragon family was actually a puppet fostered by the former, who backstabbed Elder Zakro at the most critical moment.

Considering the relationship between Luo Yan and Miss Partridge, this rumor wasn't too outrageous, after all, this could be understood as Hino's backing actually being the Partridge family.

However, only those who truly understood the situation knew that things weren't actually like this.

But whether it was Luo Yan, Hino, or Mr. Festin, none of them would take the initiative to clarify.

Letting people misunderstand just right was also an art of politics.

Hino, whose foundation was unstable, needed a backing to consolidate the power in his hands and resist the covetousness of other families, being eaten by one person was better than being eaten by a group of people in turns.

And the Partridge family could logically use this rumor to elegantly cut off the biggest piece of cake from Elder Zakro's hands, and it wouldn't cause any opposition from anyone... including Hino himself.

After all, the resources mastered by Elder Zakro were not Hino's to begin with, and with the Partridge family as a big backing, he could instead get a share.

Looking at the Demon King drinking tea calmly, Festin cleared his throat and changed to a slightly more serious tone.

Although in his view Luo Yan was already excellent enough, as an elder who had lived for more than a hundred years, he felt he still had to give him a little advice.

"The Dragon family will never threaten you again, and there will be no more controversy about your rule over Lei Ming County and Black Wind Fort. But the biggest problem now is that Zakro is gone... this guy might still be hiding in the Demon Capital, might have returned to the Dragon family's territory, or might have run to the territory of surface humans. No matter where he is, I'm afraid it's a hidden danger for you."

Luo Yan smiled faintly and said casually.

"Just a fugitive, nothing more than a stray dog."

Festin smiled and said.

"Indeed, but this is an Amethyst-tier stray dog after all, and with your Bai Yin-tier strength, I'm afraid it's still a bit weak."

"Yes." Luo Yan nodded frankly, seeing through his strength was not difficult for Festin, what was not easy to see through was the soul level.

Clearly.

Elder Zakro could also infer his strength.

Looking at Luo Yan who was calm, Festin raised his eyebrows slightly, suddenly hearing the subtext of that "yes".

This guy actually planned to use himself as bait to lure Zakro, who held a grudge, to come back for revenge!

No wonder—

This guy had been living in the Lord's Mansion of Black Wind Fort during this time, not the Demon Capital!

Curious about how Luo Yan thought, Festin asked with interest.

"Aren't you afraid? That guy is said to be Amethyst-tier, but in reality, I'm afraid he's not much worse than a Grandmaster-tier."

Luo Yan smiled and said.

"I am indeed worried that he will always hide in the dark, but it's not to the point of being afraid, and I am not someone to be slaughtered."

Festin joked.

"It seems you have already thought about how to deal with it, then I won't hint at you to ask me for help."

Luo Yan coughed and said.

"If you are willing to help me, it would naturally be the best."

Festin asked curiously.

"If there is no help from me, how much certainty do you have?"

Luo Yan calculated and gave a conservative estimate.

"Nine percent, honestly I don't have very high certainty."

Festin laughed.

"Isn't that quite high."

Luo Yan made a helpless expression.

"After all, I am Bai Yin-tier, if I can't win, I can still use the teleportation array to run."

The smaller the supernatural power, the easier it is to pass through the subspace channel, theoretically speaking, it is indeed like this.

Some powerful supernatural beings are not so easy to move quickly through the teleportation array, and will bear greater side effects after moving, and will also expose their position due to the strong magical fluctuations after crossing space, so the strong will instead tend to traditional travel methods.

However, having said that, he didn't think about running away.

After all, with Zakro's caution, he probably only had this one chance to solve the trouble once and for all.

Letting that guy run away would be an endless disaster.

"It seems I hindered you from finishing, perhaps I should come to visit in a few days."

Looking at Mr. Festin who stood up to leave, Luo Yan also stood up with a smile.

"Where is that, you are welcome to visit my home at any time."

"Haha, you are also welcome to visit our home more, it's not just me who misses you."

Festin joked, then the expression on his face became serious.

Looking at Mr. Festin showing a serious expression, Luo Yan also restrained his joking appearance, waiting for the final victory settlement.

"Baron Luo Yan, I am surprised, and gratified, and even more happy for you... you chose a path different from what I imagined, and the final result is even better than I imagined. As the head of the Partridge family, I think our friendship will be long-lasting in the future."

That was an equal friendship.

Not condescending charity.

From Mr. Festin's voice, Luo Yan heard his recognition of himself, so he nodded respectfully and gladly accepted his praise.

"Thank you, the labyrinth in Lei Ming County and Black Wind Fort will also forever be allies of you and the Partridge family."

Festin curled the corners of his mouth, then continued with a solemn expression.

"Then... since you have fulfilled your promise, I will also fulfill my promise."

"Just late last night, I wrote a letter to the Cabinet in the name of a Council member and the Duke of Partridge, recommending you to enter the Council as the Baron of Black Wind Fort. Your governance ability and excellent knowledge are exactly what Lord Demon God needs!"

When he said this, he paused for a moment and stretched out his right hand with a smile.

"Congratulations, Baron Luo Yan, you will become the 29th member of the Hell Council, and also the youngest one in the history of Hell!"
