Chapter 313: The Demon King’s Work
H In front of the teleportation magic circle deep in the castle, a faint light flows slowly.
Luo Yan stepped towards the teleportation array that exuded a little light, but found that the dead souls who originally followed him stopped outside the magic array and were reluctant to get closer.
As he guessed, a pure soul cannot be transferred through the subspace channel and must be attached to a medium that can be possessed.
This may be related to the particularity of subspace.
Luo Yan stopped and looked back at them, thought for a moment and slowly spoke.
"Since you have chosen me, I will naturally not leave you alone."
"Your bones will be resurrected in the cemetery of the necropolis, and you will serve me as a corpse for fifty years."
"After fifty years, I will follow your own wishes and allow you to be reincarnated into the race you want and enter a new reincarnation."
After hearing the promise from the godhead, the dead souls trembled one after another, and their abstract faces showed gratitude and relief.
Their war is not over yet.
But there is a deadline after all.
quite good.
It is better than living in this endless cycle of torture...
They knelt down on one knee devoutly, lowered their heads to express their loyalty and respect to Luo Yan, and then turned into ethereal white light spots, slowly blending into the feet of the huge Demon King statue in Resurrection Square.
That is the location of the Faith Crystal.
The acolytes of the necropolis will be replaced regularly and the crystals will be brought back to the necropolis as a reserve waiting for the recruitment of the "servants of the devil".
The quality of these souls is good.
Part of it is made of fine steel, some is made of silver, and there is even a few gold mixed in... Moreover, these guys do not occupy Luo Yan's own share of influence, but are the share drawn from the seed of creation of the planet Kaa.
Luo Yan does not need so many servants for the time being, but he can let the players of the acolyte profession train them... Anyway, they can be counted as his own in the round.
After doing these things, he gave Sarah a follow-up look, and then stepped into the teleportation array. Under the prayers and chants of the acolytes, he returned to the continent of Janna, which was being swept into a new storm...
…
Deep in the Sun Staircase Mountains, the ghostly light flickered, and three figures appeared on the teleportation array one after another.
"Huh! I'm finally back!" Tuff threw herself into the forest, sucking in the fresh air hungrily, with an intoxicated expression written on the dragon's face.
However, maybe she took a deep breath too hard and accidentally didn't hold it tight. She only heard a thump and something fell into the grass behind her.
Before Taff turned around to see what had fallen, Sarah skillfully picked it up and stuffed it into her bag calmly.
Different from the agile cat and lizard, Luo Yan, who walked down the teleportation array immediately after him, had a pale face and a stern expression.
He finally figured out why his four major demon generals were so resistant to using the teleportation array.
As his strength increases, the negative impact of subspace on him is not only physical discomfort -
but also in the sense of extraordinary power.
He still remembered that when he had just broken through the gold level, he just felt that his MP tank was empty after passing through the portal, and he still had enough energy to cast spells.
When he reached the platinum level, he felt that his strength had dropped a level, and he had fallen to the middle level of the gold level.
Happily, this weakening is not permanent.
He could feel that the influence exerted by the subspace was slowly being eliminated, and he estimated that the debuff on him would completely disappear in about a week.
"It seems that Hell's subspace technology is still not developed enough."
Him We have to find a way to open a larger portal!
Or——
Think about any way to bypass the punishment of subspace.
Finally noticing the paleness on Luo Yan's face, Sarah quickly walked to his side, looked at him with concern and said.
"Demon King, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Luo Yan nodded to Sarah, then looked at the acolyte who was waiting respectfully, and said in a majestic tone.
"Has anything new happened during my absence?"
The acolyte standing next to the teleportation array nodded slightly and said in a respectful tone.
"Replying to your Majesty, the imperial fleet has arrived at Deadwood Port on the northern coast. General Hamelton is currently negotiating with Baron Teach on the supply of St. Ilburg. Following your instructions, Baron Teach has agreed to the trade agreement proposed by the other party, and General Hamelton has decided to use the construction team of St. Ilburg to build a deep-water port for Deadwood Port..."
"At the same time, the high-level demon from the Demon City has arrived at the labyrinth you prepared for him, and placed the core of the Demon King's Territory at the location you designated."
"As you expected, he was confused that the statue of your god was placed in the labyrinth, but we quickly told him that it was to confuse human adventurers and prevent them from doing so. They discovered the real core of the labyrinth. "
"That Mr. Iger is surprisingly easy to deceive. He believes in what you told us in advance."
"In addition, like General Hamelton, he hopes to talk to you face to face... about the future arrangements of the Demon King."
The cloaked acolyte told Luo Yan everything that happened during this period, including the actions of General Hamelton and the garrison of St. Ilburg in Deadwood Port in recent days, including the recent activities of Demon King Ige of Janna Continent in the Sun Staircase Mountains, etc.
It is worth mentioning that the imperial general from St. Ilburg seems determined to see him, and has been living in Deadwood Port during this period and has not left.
Obviously, the fleet staying in the port put a lot of pressure on Ige, who had just settled, so that the latter was completely disorganized.
Luo Yan thought for a while and decided that it would be better to comfort Brother Igor first. As for General Hamelton, he was not so anxious.
Hasn’t the port construction begun?
Then just practice it first!
And——
He needs to pass through Ige, put a little pressure on the fleet of Fort St. Il, and at the same time make General Hamelton aware of his "difficulty".
He would never admit that it was because he was a little weak now and needed to take a breather.
"Take me over and have a look."
After understanding His Majesty the Demon King's intention, the acolyte nodded respectfully and said.
In a labyrinth passage that has not yet been completely completed, the stone walls still have traces of being burned by fire and hammered. A crooked magic crystal lamp hangs on the damp rock wall, flickering brightly and dimly in the cave.
Ige was standing on the temporary command podium, pacing back and forth with a tense expression.
While raising his hand to wipe the sweat, he lowered his head from time to time to check the dense schedule in his hand, hearing complaints and requests for help one after another in his ears.
"Lord Ige! A section of the transportation channel has collapsed, and my brothers Oka and Og are stuck in it and cannot move!"
"Report! The Goblin in the West District used the trap as a door and opened it. Now there are two orc artificial soldiers and a small The demon was seriously injured! Damn it - I told you those little guys can't be trusted! "
"Get out! It was obviously you orcs who did it yourself!"
"Why the hell do you say another word!"
"Eh——!!!"
"You, don't quarrel! I, I will deal with it right away!"
Looking at the orcs and goblins who were about to fight, Iger hurriedly rushed forward and pulled them apart. He was so anxious that his voice broke.
The acolyte who assisted him really couldn't bear to watch any more, and finally sighed and turned away and walked aside, calling for the descendants of Lord Arakeda to go wipe the butt of this rookie demon king's subordinates.
The buried orcs must be dug out first.
As for the transportation channels, we are not in such a hurry. After Master Arakedo digs out the second layer, the logistics route of the entire maze will have to be redesigned.
As for those monsters in the West District——
Just think of them as stupid.
It is not a pity.
"Ahhh!"
Looking at the mess of his subordinates, Ige hugged his head in pain and couldn't help but moan, "God, God, why did you choose me to do this kind of thing...I, I'm really not good at doing a job like the Demon King!"
Until a month ago, he was still serving on the front line and was a loyal soldier under the Demon God.
Generally, he goes wherever his superiors tell him to go. Although he has commanded a few soldiers, he basically just follows orders.
Now that he was suddenly asked to do this kind of job of commanding the overall situation and building a new Demon King's territory from scratch, he was not so much at a loss as he had no idea where to start.
The same goes for the "confidants" he brought with him. They stood out as talented and hard-working, and they often worked hard and made the situation worse than before.
Now Lord Arakdo has banned his subordinates from entering the second level of the maze, and even threatened to eat anyone who dares to come.
Facing the Crypt Spider, which was much weaker than him, Ige had no temper at all.
After all, he also realized that since he came here, except for placing the core of the Demon King's territory correctly, he had not done anything good.
On the contrary, if I had done nothing from the beginning, maybe the current situation would be better!
Looking at the goblins rolling on the floor, the little devils running around under the ceiling, and the slimes that exploded after touching the spell by mistake, Ige had already begun to doubt the existence of demons, and his godless eyes exuded a broken aura.
But his despair did not last long.
Just when the orcs and goblins were about to collapse another tunnel, clear footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the maze.
And along with the footsteps came a huge pressure, so much so that even the boiling dust stopped being impetuous.
All the noisy monsters, orcs and goblins collectively fell silent as if on a conditioned reflex, stopped their movements instantly as if the pause button had been pressed, and all looked towards the entrance of the maze.
That is——
Member Luo Yan? !
"Luo, Senior Luo Yan!!"
Ige was stunned for a moment when he saw that familiar face, and then he felt ecstasy from the bottom of his heart, and his face glowed with a light as if he had been saved.
In a flash, he jumped down from the podium and almost flew to Luo Yan, his excited eyes filled with tears.
"You're here! Yes, I'm sorry! I failed your expectations...but I really don't know what to do!"
"Don't panic."
Looking at his old classmate who was at a loss, Luo Yan first reached out and patted his shoulder, and then comforted him in a gentle tone.
"I've heard what my subordinates are saying about the situation here. It's not a big problem. Take a deep breath first and don't mess up the situation."
At this time, Sarah returned behind Luo Yan and reported in a low voice.
"The commotion in the West District has subsided, and the monsters that caused the accident are still alive... But just in case, I closed the trap there temporarily."
"Very good."
Luo Yan nodded approvingly.
At this time, Ige noticed the demon lady behind Luo Yan. He blinked curiously and asked in a low voice.
“Who is this?”
"Sarah, my subordinate -"
"Tafu! The fifth demon general of the Demon King, owner of the oldest dragon bloodline!" A young dragon emerged from Sarah's arms and coughed hard, interrupting Luo Yan mid-sentence.
I saw it folding its wings like a chicken and nodding, and behaved like a gentleman, but it shocked the unprepared Eagle.
He didn't notice it at all just now——
There was actually a giant dragon hidden under this lady Sarah's cloak? !
Although it is a cub...
Luo Yan was slightly unhappy at being interrupted, and a look made Tafu close her mouth, and then looked at Ige and continued.
"Don't worry about this guy, she's not in her right mind."
Taph’s eyes widened. She wanted to have a bad mouth but couldn’t open her mouth. She could only grind her teeth there.
Yige looked at Luo Yan with admiration, and the admiration and admiration in his heart were too much to add.
As we all know——
∣ The dragon’s nature is unruly and untamed, and it is almost impossible to tame it.
There is only one way to gain the loyalty of the dragon's baby, and that is to go deep into the dragon's lair, steal the eggs, and then hatch them!
The baby dragon that has just emerged from its shell will recognize the first living creature it sees as its father, and this is the only way to tame it!
Given the nature of the dragon, it is almost impossible to steal the dragon egg while it is alive, and even if it is stolen, it will face the dragon's endless revenge and pursuit.
And now, senior Luo Yan not only stole the dragon egg, but also hatched it safely!
There is only one explanation -
He completely defeated the dragon guarding the dragon egg!
I didn’t expect that my most respected senior would quietly complete a feat like “slaying the dragon” that only happens in epics!
This is amazing! ! !
Looking at Ige with shining eyes, Sarah felt a little uncomfortable inexplicably, but she couldn't tell why. She just unconsciously moved closer to Luo Yan.
Her little movements did not escape Iger's eyes. Facing those alert eyes, he immediately realized that she had misunderstood something.
His Majesty the Demon God can tell you clearly!
He completely admires and respects Senior Luo Yan, and has absolutely no feelings beyond friendship, not to mention that it's simply impossible, okay? !
However, just when he was about to explain in a dumbfounded way, he suddenly realized something even more incredible.
Wait——
Does Ms. Sarah have that kind of relationship with his senior? !
Yig's face turned red.
No matter how dull he was, he discovered that those eyes definitely did not contain the same pure respect as his own.
There is something else in that sight!
Ige swallowed nervously, and then looked at Luo Yan. The look in his eyes was not only the admiration of the junior for the senior, but also admiration from the standpoint of the species.
He is worthy of being a senior who even the succubus is willing to bow to -
He is not surprised that Miss Sarah would be attracted by that reliable and gentle shoulder. After all, if he were a woman, he would probably fall in minutes. Even if something happened, it would not be surprising.
Yes, but what about Miss Partridge? !
Although hell does not have as many dogmas and rules as humans on the surface, can the Padridge family accept such a thing?
Yige hesitated for a while and decided that it would be better not to tell Mia about this sad thing.
Although his father often taught him that if something can break the defense of the Padridge family, then just go ahead and do it, but he does not think this is right.
It always felt like this guy was thinking of something rude, so Luo Yan wordlessly reached out and knocked on his forehead.
The speed was so fast that even the silver-level succubus couldn't react. It wasn't until it hurt that he covered his forehead and screamed "Ouch".
Luo Yan is not as evil as Professor Enos, who often makes his students wet their pants in class.
However, looking at Ige who didn't listen at all, he couldn't help but sigh.
He probably knows what this guy does during class.
Facing those guilty eyes, Luo Yan calmed down, skipped the "novice tutorial" and gave instructions.
"Tomorrow you will lead a group of people to attack Deadwood Port."
"Yes! Guaranteed to be completed - huh?? Attack Deadwood Port?!" Suddenly he realized what he had promised Well, Iger's face instantly turned pale, and his thin lips trembled slightly, "Me?! Go to attack Deadwood Port?! Deadwood Port where General Hamelton is stationed?"
The legendary general of the Eastern Front, Hamelton!
Defeat General Sebes' Imperial Griffin!
∣ Let alone strategy and tactics——
∣ In terms of extraordinary power alone, he and that guy are not on the same level!
Luo Yan raised his eyebrows.
"Are you scared?"
He is not a person who likes to force others to make things difficult for him. If Ige had the idea of becoming stronger, he would certainly be happy to help his old classmate and friend.
But if he really doesn't have a strong heart, forcing him to a higher position will actually harm him.
Yig was about to nod subconsciously, but suddenly he met a pair of serious eyes.
At this moment, he, who is good at thinking, suddenly remembered something else.
Speaking of it——
When senior Luo Yan first faced Archduke Campbell, he seemed to be just a bronze!
Don't say it's Archduke Campbell.
At that time, senior Luo Yan probably couldn't even defeat himself. Even the knights under the Grand Duke could easily crush him to death!
However, he did not back down!
Him He not only withstood the pressure from inside the maze, but also twisted the broken Thunder County maze into a rope, so much so that even the Dragon family admitted that they had made a mistake, and even greedily and shamelessly wanted to pick up the trouble that everyone once abandoned like a broken shoe.
No matter how powerful General Hamelton is, there is obviously still a huge gap compared with the true legendary bloodline.
And I am even more silver-level!
In terms of the disparity in strength and bravery, the gap between myself and General Hamelton cannot be compared to Senior Luo Yan and Grand Duke Campbell!
Ige gritted his teeth and raised his head stubbornly.
"I'm... not afraid! Ig, promise to complete the mission!"
At this moment, he showed the consciousness of living towards death.
He wants to become a manly devil and wants to get rid of his cowardly self...and this is the first step he takes!
Although there is no one in 10,000 chance that this guy will die, Luo Yan still nodded approvingly as he looked at Ige who mustered up his courage.
Not bad.
Very energetic!
At this moment, he finally saw some masculinity in him... It seems that the sand of more than a year has not been in vain.
"As the Demon King Academy has taught you, spreading fear to surface humans is the most important daily routine of the Demon King. Humans who are afraid of you will make your maze stronger, and this power of fear will become the driving force to help you spread fear. But if you are afraid of your enemies in turn, you will have no chance of defeating them... You can You can screw up everything, but this one must not go wrong. "
"I'm happy that you can muster up the courage. This is a good start..."
Looking at Ige who puffed up his chest, Luo Yan reached out and patted his shoulder, and continued in a gentle tone.
"Don't be too nervous, just relax, I will ask my subordinates to follow you tomorrow——"
"Just think of it as familiar with the work of the Demon King."
——
(Happy Labor Day! Brothers, and I am still working...I really want to get materials. T.T)
