Including a letter to Priest Geoffrey and Principal Avin to report his safety, Luo Yan also prepared his writings and stuffed them into the envelope along with the letters to be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with a note entrusting Grien, his senior, to forward them and affixing his own magic mark at the end.
Sotis owing a harmless favor is also a way to build relationships, and he believed that Senior Grien wouldn't mind the minor issue of postage and "personal use of public goods."
At worst, he could treat him to a al the next ti he returned to Demon City.
After completing his task, Luo Yan left the Magic Workshop and went to the "Transmission Room" that the civil engineering spiders from the Weaving Shadow Clan had just dug out. There, he earnestly drew a "Temporary Transmission Array" on the reserved open ground with a Demon Crystal chalk.
This contraption, rather than being a transmission array, technically resembles more closely what the surface humans call a "Demon Summoning Array."
Each transmission array has specific inscriptions as encryption along with coordinates, divided into an A-end and B-end that correspond to each other between groups.
When human world's believers of the Demon God obtain transmission array blueprints from a certain demon or from evil books and draw them on the floor of their bedroom or basent, they can communicate with the demon that bestowed the array or even make transactions.
Generally, the object traded is a Faith Crystal, charged with the power of belief.
As for how the Faith Crystal is charged and how the transaction is completed, it mainly depends on which demon is responsible for the dealings.
For example, Horror Demons may offer lifespan and power as bait to ask the trader to cause chaos in their territories, Dream Demons may allure with power and money to get traders to recruit more believers, and Enchanting Demons might seduce traders with charm or prestige to throw lavish parties, and so on.
Essentially, it is all about undermining the faith in Saint Sis, spreading the faith of the Demon God, and dispersing the corruption from Hell.
This business is primarily managed by Hell's Propaganda Departnt.
Luo Yan even heard that in the Propaganda Departnt of Demon City, there was a departnt dedicated to communicating with human believers on the surface.
This departnt mainly consisted of Little Demons and goblins, and was organized similarly to the custor service of major financial and insurance companies on Earth.
However, although the technical principle is the sa, the departnt Luo Yan was connecting with was not that kind of low-level office, and he certainly wouldn't be dealing with any Little Demons.
After completing the magic array, Luo Yan placed the envelope in the center of the array's eye, then placed a Demon Crystal in the corner of the magic array as a "sacrifice."
Accompanied by a flickering pale green light, a pale green fla rose and swiftly engulfed the entire letter.
The transmission process simultaneously consus energy from both the A-end and B-end, and the amount of energy consud is determined by the weight of the item transmitted and its energy density.
The energy can be paid with the power of belief or with Demon Crystals, but considering that the Demon King Territory is currently a bit more in need of the power of belief, Luo Yan decisively used a Demon Crystal.
If either side lacks energy or refuses to pay, the item temporarily stored in Subspace will be returned to the starting point, and the energy already consud will not be refunded.
Since the transmission involved only a letter, the energy consud wasn't much, and the process was completed very quickly.
"Done!"
Luo Yan, having successfully dispatched the letter, clapped his hands and prepared to wait for a response from Hell and reinforcents.
He hoped that the Ministry of Internal Affairs, after reading his battle report, would truly understand his difficulty and swiftly send reliable reinforcents.
In good spirits, Luo Yan left the transmission room and headed toward the Magic Workshop.
It was then, as he passed by Virtue Square, that he suddenly heard a shriek like that of a pig being slaughtered.
A skeleton soldier was crouched on the ground with its hands clutching its head, looking just like those adventurers squatted in haunted houses.
"Catgirl! Catgirl! Why was my Catgirl replaced with a Lizardman???"
The voice of the pig-headed Knight was filled with despair, as if the sky had fallen.
Standing beside him, his teammate seed to think he was embarrassing and, while pulling him to the side, scolded,
"It's all because of you, you dog! Harassing her all day long! Now look, we've lost our fun! Go drool over a Lizardman!"
Pig-headed Knight: "Wuu wuu wuu... Lord Demon King, please give another chance!"
Bull-headed Warrior: "Oh, co on, look at yourself. If you're so interested, level up quickly. After that, can't you just beco a Catgirl yourself?"
Pig-headed Knight: "Is that the sa thing?!"
Watching the two skeletons argue in front of the counter, the Lizardman shopkeeper standing behind the store's counter remained expressionless.
Without a Translation Crystal Ball, he could not understand the clacking of these skeletons and wasn't interested at all.
For him, whose mind was still immature, fulfilling the orders of Lord Demon King was the sole reason for his existence here.
The commotion wasn't limited to those two skeletons. Luo Yan realized that many in Virtue Square by the dungeon entrance were discussing the matter.
"Hey, has anyone seen where the Catgirl went?"
"I heard on the forum that she might be near the 'little black room.' So players doing quests nearby seem to have spotted her."
"The little black room? The Great Graveyard's prison?! Why would she be there?"
"Damn it!!! This Demon King locked her up because he couldn't have her!"
"We must break her out of jail! We must!"
"Anyone buying explosives? I have them here! One kilogram for ten thousand Joss Paper!"
