Chapter 75: The wonderful use of prisoners

Including the letters to Priest Jiefuli and Principal Aiwen to report safety, Luo Yan also wrote them together, stuffed them into the envelope with the letter to the Internal Affairs Department, noted that it was entrusted to Senior Gelien to forward, and attached his magic seal at the end.

Sometimes owing a harmless favor is also a way to get closer, and I believe Senior Gelien will not care about that little postage and the small problem of "using public office for private gain."

At worst, treat him to a meal next time I return to the Demon Capital.

Luo Yan, who had accomplished his mission, got up and left the magic workshop, went to the "teleportation room" just dug out by the civil engineering spiders of the Shadow-Weaving clan, and on the reserved open space, seriously drew a "temporary teleportation array" with magic crystal chalk.

This thing is not so much a teleportation array, but in terms of technical principles, it is actually closer to the "demon summoning array" in the mouths of surface humans.

Each teleportation array has specific inscriptions as encryption means and coordinates, divided into a-end and b-end, and groups correspond to each other.

When a believer of the Demon God in the human world gets the blueprint of the teleportation array from a demon or an evil classic, and draws it on the floor of his own bedroom or basement, he can communicate with the demon who bestowed the teleportation array, or even conduct transactions.

And generally speaking, the object of the transaction is usually faith crystals condensed with faith power.

As for the specific form of faith crystal charging and the way the transaction is completed, it mainly depends on who the demon responsible for the connection is.

For example, the Terror Demon will use lifespan and power as bait to demand that the trader act recklessly in his territory, the Dream Demon will use power and money as bait to demand that the trader develop more believers, and the Succubus will use charm or prestige as bait to seduce the trader to hold silver parties, etc.

Its essence is to destroy the faith of Shengxisi, spread the faith of the Demon God, and at the same time spread the corrosion from hell.

This business is mainly responsible by the Propaganda Department of Hell.

Luo Yan even heard that there is a department in the Propaganda Department of the Demon Capital specifically responsible for communicating with believers of surface humans.

The department is mainly composed of little demons and goblins, and its organizational structure is similar to the customer service of major financial and insurance companies on Earth.

However, although it is the same technical principle, Luo Yan is not connecting to that kind of third-rate department, and the person who connects with his work is even less likely to be any little demon.

After completing the magic array, Luo Yan placed the envelope in the center of the array eye, and then placed a magic crystal in the corner of the magic array as a "sacrifice."

Accompanied by the flickering of a faint green light, a faint green flame rose, and soon swallowed the whole letter into it.

The entire teleportation process will consume the energy of both a-end and b-end at the same time, and the energy consumed is determined by the weight and energy density of the teleported object.

This energy can be paid with faith power or magic crystal, but considering that the Demon King's territory is currently more lacking in faith power, Luo Yan decisively used magic crystal.

If the energy of one party is insufficient or refuses to pay the energy, the teleported object temporarily saved in the subspace will be returned to the starting point, and the energy already consumed will not be returned.

Since only a letter was teleported, it didn't consume much energy, and the entire teleportation process was completed quickly.

"Done!"

Luo Yan, who had sent the letter, clapped his hands in accomplishment, and next, he waited for the reply and reinforcements from hell.

I hope the Internal Affairs Department can deeply understand his difficulties after reading his battle report, and quickly send a reliable reinforcement.

Luo Yan, in a good mood, left the teleportation room and walked towards the magic workshop.

And just at this time, passing by the Quality Square, he suddenly heard a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

I saw a skeleton soldier squatting on the ground holding his head with both hands, exactly the same as those adventurers squatting in the haunted house.

"Cat girl! Cat girl! Why was my cat girl replaced by a lizardman???"

The pig-headed man knight's voice was full of lovelessness, as if the sky had collapsed.

The teammate standing on the side seemed to think he was shameful, while pulling him to the side, while reprimanding him.

"Isn't it you, you dog thing! Harassing people all day! Now it's good, nothing to watch! Go drool at the lizard!"

Pig-headed Knight: "Sob sob sob... Lord Demon King, please give me another chance!"

Bull-headed man warrior: "Alright, alright, look at your promise, you are so interested, level up early, can't you just become a cat girl yourself later?"

Pig-headed man knight: "Can that be the same!?"

Looking at the two skeletons arguing in front of the counter, the lizardman ghoul clerk standing behind the shop counter was expressionless.

Without a translation crystal ball, he couldn't understand what these skeletons were creaking about at all, and he wasn't interested at all.

For him, whose mind was not yet mature, completing Lord Demon King's orders was the only meaning of his existence here.

It wasn't just those two skeletons that were noisy. Luo Yan found that many people on the Quality Square in front of the labyrinth entrance were discussing this matter.

"By the way, have you seen where the cat girl went?"

"I saw on the forum that it seems to be near the small dark room, players doing quests nearby seem to have seen it."

"Small dark room? The Necropolis prison?! Why is it there?"

"Damn it!!! This Demon King couldn't get it himself, so he locked people up!"

"Jailbreak! Must jailbreak!"

"Does anyone buy explosives? I have explosives here! Ten thousand Nether Coins per kilogram!"

"Damn, is your explosive made of gold?!"

"Why don't you go rob!!!"

Luo Yan, who was eavesdropping on the side, had a head full of black lines.

Look at the promise of you guys, is it worth it for just an NPC? And what do you mean I couldn't get it so I locked people up?

After all, there were still sensible people who told the truth.

"What are you all talking about, what do you mean locked up? I clearly saw that she was fine."

"That's right! I just saw it, that cat girl seems to be learning assassination skills from an NPC prisoner!"

"Damn?! Is this game so realistic? NPCs can also learn skills autonomously?"

"Wait, the assassin skill book has been updated?! Why didn't I know?"

"It's probably a silent system update. If you really have to explain it, you can interpret it as 'in-game programs changing autonomously with the plot progress.' By the way, I plan to go and sneakily learn it; maybe I can get a skill book or something for free."

Hearing the statement of a diligent little player, Luo Yan's heart suddenly moved, and another lazy thought appeared in his mind.

Why not just let Kris work part-time as an NPC for thief and assassin professions.

As the saying goes, there are talents in prison.

A thief and murderer squatting in prison acting as a transfer NPC for thief and assassin professions is simply too reasonable! Not just Kris.

Among the prisoners who had been "successfully reformed," there seemed to be a guy named Lei Kesen, who happened to be a Black Iron-tier greatswordsman.

Letting him guide players on how to become a qualified warrior might be a good choice, and by the way, he could also be allowed to issue some quests to kill monsters.

"Hearing You You, set a 'Thief Profession Transfer NPC' and 'Greatswordsman Profession Transfer NPC' label above Kris and Lei Kesen's heads respectively. The transfer plan I set before will be served by these two guys as the guidance NPC for novice transfer."

"No problem, Lord Demon King, but is it really okay to give the permission to issue quests to prisoners?" Hearing You You's voice carried a hint of hesitation.

Although these two people had already become believers of Lord Demon King, they were not the traditional type of obedient believers, but rather submission forced by fear.

There was still a certain risk in reusing such guys.

Luo Yan pondered for a while and said.

"Like this... you first make a few optional plans for them to refer to, such as hunting forest wolves, grizzly bears, wild zombie skeleton soldiers, etc. Generally speaking, they choose from these templates when issuing quests. If not, they apply to you, and then issue them to players after passing."

After listening to Luo Yan's words, Hearing You You said excitedly.

"As expected of Lord Demon King, this idea is simply fantastic!"

Luo Yan smiled faintly.

"Low-key, just basic operation."...

Just as the evil Lord Demon King and his number one henchman were discussing "how to further test the players' limits in the upcoming A06 version," Sodo and his subordinates, who were wandering in the labyrinth, were also finally about to reach their limit.

Originally three hundred elite Grey-Fin clan, now only forty or so remained.

And what was even more hateful was that until now they hadn't even seen the shadow of the enemy, and had been wandering around in this endless corridor all the way.

The monsters in the labyrinth are very smart.

When encountering troops in groups, the vast majority of monsters would deliberately avoid them, and even hide when they smelled them.

It was precisely because of this that it was difficult for them, who were gathered together, to get food from monsters.

Finally, a Shark-person warrior probably went crazy, waving the fish fork in his hand and roaring hysterically at the corridor of the labyrinth.

"Demon King! You come out! What kind of skill is hiding in the dark! You coward! You seedless thing %￥#@!"

The vicious curses were as nasty as they could be, the only regret being that they couldn't reach the ears of Lord Demon King.

"Save some strength, Siluoer..."

Another Shark-person warrior sat on the ground, closing his eyes and panting lightly.

"If I were that guy, I wouldn't come out either."

"Damn it!"

The Shark-person called Siluoer knelt on the ground, his fist hitting the hard ground fiercely.

The breath of despair spread in the team. At this moment, the script they were facing was exactly the same as the ghost story circulating in the Necropolis prison, the only difference was that their people had been decreasing, but had never increased.

However, it had to be said that they were indeed very united, and their piety to the Dragon God was also from the heart.

Even when they reached the end of their rope, they didn't break the taboo of cannibalism, but buried their own kind before continuing forward...

Although most of these buried kind had entered the stomachs of labyrinth monsters—especially cave spiders.

Suoduo, who was sitting in the team, was silent for a long time, and finally opened his tightly closed eyes.

In those amber pupils, there was no longer the previous arrogance, only regret and vicissitudes, and the indifference of seeing through death.

"Everyone, please listen to me..."

Hearing the head's voice, the Shark-person warriors cast their gaze on him, quietly waiting for his order.

"We were born in the tide and should have been buried in the tide, but now we die in this sunless cave... Perhaps this is also Lord Dragon God's punishment for our arrogance."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, looked around at all the Shark-person warriors present, trying to remember those familiar yet strange faces.

"Although scattering will only accelerate our death, now we have reached the point where we have to make a choice..."

"Someone must live to go back and tell our patriarch about the situation here... even if only one person survives."

While saying this, he raised his head to look at the dome of the labyrinth, and finally made the decision he least wanted to make.

"Let's act separately."

Rather than a group of people gathered together, wandering around in the labyrinth like headless flies, it is better to scatter to find a way out.

In this way, maybe someone can successfully leave here.

Suoduo even couldn't help thinking in his heart that the scouts he had sent out before might have already found a way out, but were dragged down by the main force and couldn't escape this labyrinth.

If it weren't for bringing the news back, they might have already left this damn ghost place.

Perhaps he should have made this decision long ago.

After listening to the head's words, the Shark-person warriors all fell into silence. They looked at each other, their eyes full of reluctance, but in the end, they turned into determined expressions.

"May the Dragon God bless us."

"May the Dragon God bless us!"

They left blessings for each other, then disbanded on the spot, resolutely walking into the depths of the dark labyrinth, handing their fate to God's will.

And just as they scattered in twos and threes and headed into the depths of the labyrinth, the dozen pairs of eyes hiding in the dark also began to stir.

"They can't hold on!" The soul fire burning in the skull of Long Xing Wan Li flickered with a hint of shrewdness.

They had been following behind this group of Shark-people for three full days, watching their numbers get smaller and smaller, and now they finally waited for the opportunity to strike!

It wasn't just Long Xing Wan Li who was stirring, but also 【Brother Brother Guofu First Pig】 who was ridden under his crotch. Having become ruthless enough to eat Shark-person corpses, he had completely let go.

"Boss, should we do it?"

Brother Brother Guofu First Pig was ready for the spider charge, but the boss's next sentence made his just-poked butt flop onto the ground again.

"No rush, wait a bit longer."

Brother Brother Guofu First Pig was stunned.

"Still wait???"

They hadn't done a quest for three days, if they waited any longer they would lose a lot! Seeing the concerns in Brother Brother Guofu First Pig's eyes, Long Xing Wan Li smiled faintly and said.

"Calm down, I mean, wait for them to scatter a bit more before acting, not wait another three or four days."

"So that's how it is..." Brother Brother Guofu First Pig smiled embarrassedly and scratched the top of his head with his forelimbs. "Sorry, I thought... you wanted to wait a few more days."

"Hehe, how is that possible, I'm more anxious than you to save up contribution points."

Pausing, Long Xing Wan Li continued slowly.

"Ever heard of the skirt-cutting tactic?"

Brother Brother Guofu First Pig was stunned.

"What does that mean?"

Long Xing Wan Li: "Simply put, it's waiting for them to scatter into a circle on the battlefield, our troops stick to the edge of the circle and fight them, cutting their skirt edges. This way their people are constantly attracted by the movement, constantly reinforcing, we only need to grasp this one point, surround the point and fight the reinforcements, and not one of them will be able to run!"

Damn!

If you just said "surround the point and fight the reinforcements," wouldn't I understand?! But thinking was thinking, what the Brother Brother Guofu brother blurted out was still a compliment.

"Awesome, brother! How come I didn't think of that?!"

Being patted quite comfortably by this compliment, Long Xing Wan Li smiled calmly.

"Low-key, just basic operation."

With that, he looked behind him.

"That, Qianli, you plan it."

Qianli, who hadn't spoken, nodded seriously, as if standing there was a soldier.

"Yes!"

Baili yawned and moved his stiff shoulders, turned over and sat on the back of 【Failed Eel】, and pulled the bowstring in his hand eagerly.

"Finally going to fight!"
