The two arrived at the entrance of the Parliament Building.

Walsh suddenly remembered something and looked up.

"Oh right, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?"

Luo Yan paused slightly, pondered for a moment before speaking.

"I forgot, I'll tell you next time when I remember."

Walsh: "...?"

...

After leaving the Parliament 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 appointment, 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, meanwhile giving Egger time 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 some 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 supplementing the archives.

During the earlier dinner at the Padric family, Egger mentioned that besides vacation, he returned to Demon City to supplement 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 Department, but their first-year files are placed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After becoming a full-time position, they are unified and transferred to the War Department to receive the formal appointment 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 time 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 menacing.

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 esteemed Lord Demon God? If everyone were as casual as you, how would we fight wars against the Imperial?"

Surprisingly, Egger seemed convinced by this, truly thinking he had done something 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 time if he made the right decision.

But now, regretting was too late.

Easy to control should count as a merit at least, right?

Sighing, Luo Yan stepped forward and placed his hand on the counter.

"I think, a mere squad of ten doesn't affect the entire battle scenario. This is just a 'practice report,' it won't be included in the War Department'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 someone 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 immediately shifted, and Egger realized he had said something 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 immediately filled with smiles, nodding rapidly, and lost memories also resurfaced.

"It can! It can! I remember the special review regulations mentioning, if apprentice officers can't get stamps due to frontline military deployment, the stamp of the officer with the highest command authority at the moment counts as valid, regardless of rank —"

"Alright, as long as you know this kind of thing."

Luo Yan tapped his finger on the document, 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 time 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 became stammered, 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 momentarily dazed Egger.

"The organization has deliberated."

"The Demon King of Gana Continent —"

"Has been decided to be you!"
