The two arrived at the entrance of the Parliant Building.
Walsh suddenly rembered sothing and looked up.
"Oh right, what was it you wanted to talk to about?"
Luo Yan paused slightly, pondered for a mont before speaking.
"I forgot, I'll tell you next ti when I rember."
Walsh: "...?"
...
After leaving the Parliant Building, Walsh was temporarily unnecessary, so after parting ways with this promising Demon King, Luo Yan boarded a carriage to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Although Karamos said to have the Ministry of Internal Affairs issue the written appointnt, he clearly patted his shoulder when leaving the council hall.
Luo Yan was well aware that this was actually a hint from the gentleman, suggesting that he could offer this small favor before official paperwork is issued, anwhile giving Egger ti to maneuver. For instance, have the family smooth out relationships within the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or before exiting the military system, arrange for his front-line subordinates or trusted aides to retire and be transferred to his own Demon King Territory.
Those unprepared for office are sent to be cannon fodder.
Like so Demon King pushed into the fire pit of Thunder County...
Actually, without Karamos' hint, Luo Yan was planning to do this anyway.
It's just unclear why Karamos is so invested in this issue...
Hopefully it's because of Mr. Feistin.
No —
It absolutely must be because of him!
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Luo Yan casually asked around and quickly found Egger who was supplenting the archives.
During the earlier dinner at the Padric family, Egger ntioned that besides vacation, he returned to Demon City to supplent his front-line internship files as an apprentice officer, and should be here for the next few days barring any surprises.
This is a tradition in Hell.
The apprentice officers selected from colleges are managed by the War Departnt, but their first-year files are placed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After becoming a full-ti position, they are unified and transferred to the War Departnt to receive the formal appointnt from Lord Demon God as formal officers.
If nothing unexpected happens, Egger's return to the front line should at least be as a Centurion, and moving to higher ranks like Chiliarch and beyond wouldn't be a problem with his own strength.
However, isn't this the surprise?
When Luo Yan walked up behind Egger, this powerless little brother was being troubled by a recently awakened Dream Demon clerk.
"Your battle record lacks the unit stamp!"
Egger frantically searched and found it.
"Wait! I clearly stamped it, look! It's right at the bottom of the last page!"
"That's your squad's stamp, not the direct legion's." The Dream Demon clerk frowned, flipping through the files with annoyance, "I checked, stationed at the Central Fortress is General Skritt's Eleventh Legion, without his stamp, we can't archive this record."
Perhaps it's his first ti dealing with these people, Egger bowed his head nervously, like a reprimanded student.
"...But, but I couldn't reach General Skritt's headquarters then, they had been transferred to the western frontline, while we were left behind."
"That's not my problem."
Watching Egger's body shrink smaller, shoulders trembling slightly, the Dream Demon clerk laughed, increasingly nacing.
He didn't even know why he was being difficult, but it felt amazing.
"If I don't strictly review your battle reports, who knows if the next report won't have even more absurd figures to deceive the esteed Lord Demon God? If everyone were as casual as you, how would we fight wars against the Imperial?"
Surprisingly, Egger seed convinced by this, truly thinking he had done sothing very wrong.
"Then, then what should I do?"
"You can take the Teleportation Array to the west now and get a stamp."
"How, how could this be?!"
Egger was almost crying in anxiety.
Luo Yan looked at his back in thought, questioning for the first ti if he made the right decision.
But now, regretting was too late.
Easy to control should count as a rit at least, right?
Sighing, Luo Yan stepped forward and placed his hand on the counter.
"I think, a re squad of ten doesn't affect the entire battle scenario. This is just a 'practice report,' it won't be included in the War Departnt's casualty statistics, if his comrades and captain have recognized his contributions in battle at the front line, what right does a guy enjoying protection at the rear, nodding off at his desk, have to doubt its authenticity? If soone should be doing the verifying, it should be you going to the front lines, not him."
Hearing the voice from behind, Egger was suddenly stunned, turned his head around wide-eyed in surprise.
"Senior Luo Yan?!"
"Luo, Luo Yan... councilor?!"
Wait ——
Senior?!
The Dream Demon clerk's expression imdiately shifted, and Egger realized he had said sothing wrong, he should not have called Luo Yan that here, so he quickly shut his mouth.
It wasn't out of calculated reaction —
After all, if he wanted to pressure him with power, just hinting that he recently had dinner with Mrs. Padric would be enough.
Of course, a smarter move would be to hand the file directly to Mr. Feistin, solving the issue after the file was transferred.
Luo Yan didn't want to make it difficult for the guy who gained a sense of mission while loafing, he just said succinctly.
"Can it be archived?"
The clerk's face imdiately filled with smiles, nodding rapidly, and lost mories also resurfaced.
"It can! It can! I rember the special review regulations ntioning, if apprentice officers can't get stamps due to frontline military deploynt, the stamp of the officer with the highest command authority at the mont counts as valid, regardless of rank —"
"Alright, as long as you know this kind of thing."
Luo Yan tapped his finger on the docunt, then gently pushed it to him.
The Dream Demon grabbed it swiftly, instantly tucking it into the archive bag, afraid of delaying a second.
Watching his most respected person solve a problem he couldn't solve so easily, Egger felt grateful, admiring, yet awkwardly apologetic, feeling his slip of calling him senior caused trouble, yet unsure how to apologize properly.
Luo Yan, however, didn't waste words with him, nor did he want to waste ti on such insignificant matters, putting a hand on his shoulder and pulling him to a secluded corridor.
Egger's face turned red instantly, his voice beca stamred, seemingly confused by this sudden situation.
"Senior, senior?"
Why are you blushing like Alakdo!
Luo Yan coughed once, put on a serious face, and directly addressed the montarily dazed Egger.
"The organization has deliberated."
"The Demon King of Gana Continent —"
"Has been decided to be you!"
