Chapter 142 "Map BUG"
"Kamu Dragon? Why are you here?"
Looking at the horror grabbing Grien's collar, Mia's face was full of surprise.
On the one hand, she did not expect that the deputy director had such a good temper and was not angry even when being grabbed by the collar. On the other hand, she did not expect that the head of the Dragon family would be here... Strictly speaking, this matter had nothing to do with him at all.
Standing next to Mia, Luo Yan saw Mr. Kamu for the first time.
However, his intuition told him that this was not the first time Mr. Kamu had seen him, and he had even been watching him secretly for some time.
As he expected, the horror put down Gryen's collar and strode up to him, staring directly into his eyes with its big copper bell eyes.
"My brother has a problem on your territory, why do you think I am here?"
Luo Yan gave him a blank look.
"Did I ask you?"
This sentence choked Kamu up.
Luo Yan really didn't ask him why he was here... That question was asked by Mia who was standing beside him.
"Stop pretending to me!" Kamu growled angrily, took a step forward, and continued menacingly, "You know what it is, only Chaos can interfere with the passage of subspace! I need an explanation why Chaos appears in your Demon King's territory!"
"The answer is obvious, isn't it?" Luo Yan said slowly, "All the questions arose after I left and your brother passed by."
Kamu Dragon narrowed his eyes dangerously and lowered his hoarse voice.
"Are you questioning the loyalty of the Dragon family?"
He had guessed it to some extent.
The premature interruption of the projection in the arena may be related to chaos.
"What about you? Are you questioning His Majesty the Demon God's choice?"
Luo Yan looked at him without changing his expression and continued.
"Even the respected and omnipotent Demon God, His Majesty, has never questioned my loyalty. When will it be the Dragon Family's turn to question it?"
Kamu looked stagnant and said slightly embarrassed.
That stupid brother lent him his castle and bodyguards. Can you tell me why? "
"This is an internal matter of the Dragon family, and I have no obligation to explain it to you!" Camu Dragon growled in annoyance, but did not realize that the initiative of the topic had 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 have to explain it to the Ministry of Truth."
Kamu stared at him angrily.
"What do you mean!"
"Thunder County's labyrinth will have problems sooner rather than later. However, after I left, there was a problem when your Hellfire Heavy Infantry Regiment arrived. It is difficult for me not to suspect that this was a deliberate move on your part."
Kamu said angrily: "You are slandering!"
"Slander? I prefer to call it reasonable suspicion," Luo Yan looked at the angry Kamu and continued expressionlessly, "After all, no matter from which angle you look at it, you are the only beneficiary."
"Indeed," Grien, who was adjusting his collar, nodded with a thoughtful expression, "it would be of no benefit to our Demon King if something like this happened. He didn't have to use such clever tricks to win. I believe all the spectators in the arena that night can prove this... The battle last night can be said to be an overwhelming victory. I was also watching the battle in the arena at the time. It was simply wonderful."
"Thank you for your evaluation." Luo Yan smiled and nodded to Green, and then looked at the wide-eyed Kamu and continued, "As Director Green said, there is absolutely no need for me to prepare a chaos in my own territory for a mere duel that I cannot control the fire."
Grian took over Luo Yan's words with a smile and continued to follow his meaning.
“Only players who are at a disadvantage need unexpected measures, but I think Mr. Xino Dragon may not feel that he will be at a disadvantage. After all, I think he is quite confident.”
"So there is only one explanation," Luo Yan looked at the wide-eyed Kamu. Luo Yan's bright smile gradually contained a hint of coldness, and continued, "In order to ensure that his brother will win, Mr. Kamu prepared two trump cards for him."
"This is your duel! What does it have to do with me!?" Kamu panicked a little.
Although this is not the case at all, what Luo Yan said was so confident and well-founded that even he couldn't help but doubt whether it was really the case.
Although Hell Flame is a personal guard he trained, he is not the only one who has the say in the Dragon family after all. If some old immortal stuffs this card into his brother's hand, he may not know about it.
This situation is not uncommon.
Hello society is different from human society on the surface. Most high-level demons live for a long time. Although many powerful families have their patriarchs abdicated, they will not die immediately, and even still exert their remaining power secretly.
Only a handful of immortal families similar to the Colin family have established a senate system to further delineate the boundaries of power in internal affairs of the family.
However, the Dragon family obviously does not belong to this category.
"Since this is our duel and it has nothing to do with you, what are you doing here?" Luo Yan blocked Kamu back with one sentence and continued calmly.
"Obviously the result of the duel is closely related to your interests, and it does not even rule out that you are instigating it behind the scenes."
"I think so too."
Looking at Kamu who was unable to argue, Green analyzed it with reason.
...If his brother wins, the Dragon family can ask Mr. Luo Yan to fulfill the agreement and hand over the necropolis to the Dragon family. And if something unexpected happens, then pour dirty water on our Demon King... Chaos, for example, is a good trump card."
When saying this, Grien deliberately paused for two seconds and cast a surprised look at Kamu.
"Mr. Kamu Dragon... Although I want to say that there may be some misunderstanding, but maybe you really need to explain it to the people from the Ministry of Truth."
Obviously, this deputy director is not really good-tempered or does not hold grudges. He is just a thief who only takes action when the situation is favorable.
Looking at the two guys singing in harmony, Kamu Dragon gritted his teeth, clenched and unclenched his fists, and then clenched them again.
Looking at this suppressed terror on the verge of going berserk, Luo Yan didn't panic at all. Although he is only at Silver level, this is the Magic City.
Perhaps thinking about it together, this guy finally chose not to have an attack here. He glared at him fiercely and turned around to leave.
Looking at Kamu Dragon who turned to leave, Mia, who had been holding her breath and said nothing, quietly poked Luo Yan's arm and whispered.
"So... the situation in your necropolis was really caused by the Dragon family? That... Chaos?"
After listening to Luo Yan's analysis for a long time, she was convinced!
"It's just speculation. After all, we have no evidence for the time being." Luo Yan lightly shrugged his shoulders.
"Yes, it's just our reasonable speculation...Okay, the troublesome guy is finally gone, we should discuss serious issues."
Grian coughed and looked at the two of them, and continued with a serious expression.
“What should we do now?”
Even if the shit basin is placed on Xino Dragon's head, it will not change the current situation that the necropolis is facing the threat of Chaos.
Because the subspace channel is interfered by chaos, the Demon King Management Department can be said to be blind to the information there at the moment, and cannot understand anything. Even encountering a Chaos invasion is just an inference based on experience. Whether it is true or not remains to be seen.
In fact, this is inevitable. After all, the necropolis is too far away from hell, and Luo Yan basically relies on himself to report.
Now that Luo Yan himself is in the Magic City, isn’t the Magic City just a black eye?
In a sense, this is one of the reasons why the Demon King's Management Department is not happy for the Demon King to take leave and return to the Demon City.
In fact, Luo Yan is not completely ignorant of what is happening in the Demon King Territory. After all, his natural disaster system is not based on the principles of subspace, so it will naturally not be interfered with.
But he can't tell the player's story, otherwise it will involve the godhead, and then involve a series of problems.
Hence, he could only pretend that he did not understand the situation in his territory, and first asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Can the teleportation array still be used?"
Grian shook his head.
"The ones in the necropolis are obviously no longer useful. The corrosion caused by the invasion of Chaos often affects the subspace for dozens or even hundreds of kilometers."
Luo Yan thought for a moment and said.
"What will happen if it is used forcefully?"
Grian was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile.
"I advise you not to think about it. There is a certain probability that you will be forced to the other side of the Chaos Gate, and the closer you are 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 before, but very few have come back safely.
Some people 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 the air there was filled with hallucinogenic honey.
Others encountered thousands of hungry insect swarms there, or strange mutated creatures...
Some scholars speculated that those were dead worlds that had been completely conquered by Chaos.
It’s not a good place anyway.
When he said this, Green 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?"
Grian replied.
"Broken Rock Peak, a branch of the Wanren Mountains, is probably in the northeast of Thunder County. There is a place called 'Calamity Castle', which is the territory of the hell dwarves. Hell does not directly rule there, but the local hell dwarves believe in Lord Bayali, and our respected Lord Bayel has also performed miracles there."
Luo Yan said thoughtfully.
“In other words, it is our vassal?” Grien nodded.
"Yes, but our vassals have always been slippery, so you'd better not expect too much from them to help you. If the situation is bad, they can run faster than anyone else... Of course, that being said, there is no problem in finding a way out of them."
Luo Yan was not surprised at all about this matter.
Most of the people who work for Hell are this kind of guy, even Deputy Director Green himself standing in front of him, let alone others.
"Understood."
"What should I say? Do you want to go there? I can arrange a guide for you." Green looked at Luo Yan, with a look full of expectation that almost made him agree.
The crisis of Chaos occurs on the northeastern coast of the Whirlpool Sea, which is far away from Hell. It is actually not that deadly to Hell, which is separated by an entire Whirlpool Sea + vast ocean.
It is obvious that what Green really cares about is not the necropolis, but that he does not want the Demon King over there to have any problems at the moment when he has approved a leave note for the Demon King.
That requires responsibility!
Mia reached out and pinched Luo Yan's sleeve, looked at him with a worried look, 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 to see if it would be safer?"
"Who should I send?" Luo Yan said with a smile.
"I'll help you find a way!" Mia said seriously.
This guy doesn't seem to realize that his strength has been upgraded to the Silver level, and he still takes care of himself as a Bronze Demon King.
But this is inevitable.
Silver-level succubi are obviously not as perceptive as diamond-level succubi.
Luo Yan said with a smile.
"I appreciate your kindness, but Broken Rock Peak is not very close to the necropolis. I'm afraid the day lilies will be cold by the time the people we sent to inquire about the situation come back."
Grian immediately picked up what he said.
"I think so too... By the way, what is daylily? Is it a specialty of Thunder County?"
Mia glared at him viciously.
However, Green pretended not to see it.
Luo Yan said with a smile.
"A kind of food, this is not the point."
When he said this, Luo Yan paused for a moment, looked at Grien and continued.
"There are only a few days left in 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?"
To activate the teleportation array, both ends of the teleportation array need to pay magic crystals at the same time, or prepare them with a spellcaster. In either case, it's a big expense.
After all, the hell dwarves at Broken Rock Peak are just vassals of His Majesty the Demon God. Luo Yan is not sure whether those people are willing to pay the cost of teleportation for him.
After listening to Luo Yan's concerns, Green immediately said generously.
"This is all a small problem. The cost of teleportation of goblins is about the same weight as goods, which is very cheap! At worst, you can bring some magic crystals with you when you go there and replenish them when you get there."
Luo Yan asked one more question just in case.
"I don't need to prepare these magic crystals myself, right?"
"Haha, how can I ask you to spend money? Just leave it to me."
In fact, the expenses of the teleportation array were originally borne by the Demon King himself, but now it is a special situation after all, so naturally it cannot be treated in the usual way.
What Green was most afraid of was that Luo Yan would continue to stay here, so he took care of the expenses alone without saying a word.
In any case, the money spent was not his own money, but funds from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After deciding on the return plan and the countermeasures to deal with Chaos, it was almost evening, and it was time for the Demon King Management Department to get off work.
Just as Mia was here, Luo Yan bumped into her car again.
I always feel like I spent more than half of the time in the Padridge family's carriage during the days I went home on leave.
Looking at the Pegasus that was already familiar with him, Luo Yan couldn't help but think in his heart.
How about buying one of your own?
This thought just flashed through Luo Yan's mind and did not stay for long.
Because he soon realized that he would not even have a place to live when he returned to the Devil's Capital, and would have to stay in the temple of Priest Jeffrey.
Although the priests, acolytes and children in the temple all like him, he is still an adult after all, and it is really outrageous to eat and drink and live around all the time, and it is easy for people to misunderstand that he is a freeloader.
This is not possible.
I am also a devil after all!
Not to mention a lavish castle like the Dragon family, you still have to have a small foreign-style building with a balcony, right?
Just when Luo Yan was thinking about buying an apartment in Shanghai, he suddenly felt a stinging pain on his arm.
He turned his face and saw Mia, who was sitting next to him, staring at him righteously, grinning with an unfriendly expression.
“Hey! Are you listening to me?”
Luo Yan was stunned for a moment.
Have you spoken?
"I'm sorry... I was just thinking about what happened after I go back," Luo Yan smiled sheepishly and said apologetically, "What did you just say? Can you repeat it?"
Although she was angry in her heart, seeing that Luo Yan was thinking about business, Mia didn't argue with him.
"I was just asking, is there anything I can do to help!"
Luo Yan wanted to say no, but thinking about the embarrassment of lack of manpower during the previous battle with Chaos, he immediately changed his mind.
Luo Yan said with a smile.
"I was thinking, since I am going back this time to use the magic crystal from the Demon King Management Department, I might as well bring more people. I will be crossing the border from Broken Rock Peak at that time, so I will bring more people with me so that I can have someone to look after me on the way."
"This is indeed a good idea," Mia touched her chin and nodded, agreeing. He stopped and said, "Okay, let me keep an eye out for you... But let me tell you beforehand that there are not many mercenary groups near the Magic City, so they may not be able to find them in such a short time."
The mercenaries in Hell are mainly concentrated on the front lines and on the borders of various vassals. The Magic City is mainly rich in slave resources. After buying them back, you need to train them yourself.
Luo Yan said with a smile.
"Well, that's troublesome! Just try your best to look for it. It doesn't matter if you can't find it."
Looking at Luo Yan who was solemnly thanking him, Mia's cheeks felt slightly hot, and she unconsciously looked away quietly, circling the tip of her hair with her index finger.
"There's no need to thank me so formally...Besides, I'm also your manager after all, so helping you is also helping myself..."
The carriage quickly arrived at its destination.
Farewell to Mia who was reluctant to leave, Luo Yan returned to the temple, stayed with Priest Jeffrey for a while as usual, and waited until dinner time to pray and eat with everyone in the temple, 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, the devil king, is easier to talk to.
Speaking of which, there was a small episode, during which someone from the Ministry of Truth came to visit. From what Yuyou said, it seemed that they were asking about her situation.
Priest Geoffrey chatted with the unsmiling magistrate for a few words, answered some questions, and then sent the latter away.
Finding Luo Yan who was "playing the role of the devil and arresting people", Priest Jeffrey said in surprise.
"Your territory has been corrupted by chaos?"
Luo Yan reluctantly spread his hands.
"To be honest, this is the second time."
The first time was Novel, the strange fog. He had reported it to the Demon King Management Department before, but did not tell anyone else.
If people from the Ministry of Truth are interested, they should see it in the files.
Priest Jeffrey nodded and said worriedly.
"Then you have to be careful, Chaos may be targeting you."
Luo Yan said with a carefree smile.
"Just keep an eye on me, there are many people who are targeting me."
He did not tell Priest Jeffrey.
In fact, he had received the blessing of the Dragon God even earlier.
This is one of the reasons why he does not care about the first support of the vampires.
After playing wildly with the children in the temple until the evening, Luo Yan went to the bathhouse to take a shower, then lay down on the bed and entered the official website.
As early as the afternoon, some players have reported encountering a BUG on the B5 floor, and they are suspected of being stuck in a copy that has not yet been built.
Just when Luo Yan was about to see what kind of trouble they were in, a familiar ID suddenly caught his attention.
