Recalling further, he felt his old face could no longer hold.
Time ticked by second by second, and the graduation ceremony finally neared its end. Next up was the work for the Civil Servants from Hell's Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Caesar and Avin turned and left the grand hall, heading elsewhere to reminisce.
Mia got her wish with an invitation to join the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but looking at the letter in her hand, she appeared listless and unenthusiastic.
Rumi and Mckinley felt the same.
The only person who surprised Luo Yan was Egger... This seemingly effeminate and always compliant boy actually chose to go to the War Department?!
Although joining the War Department didn't mean he would certainly go to the front lines, it was at least a place closer to the front lines.
Having received the receipt, Egger returned to Luo Yan's side, looking at him with determination and said.
"Senior, I thought about it all night yesterday, and I rewrote a letter to my family... While my family did not agree to me becoming a Demon King, they did agree to let me go to the War Department. I hope that one day in the future, I can bring reinforcements to your Demon King Territory and fight alongside you!"
No—
Buddy.
If it really comes to that, let's hope for someone more dependable, alright?
How about the Vampire Prince?
Hearing this grand statement, Luo Yan couldn't help but smile, nor could he imagine how the front-line warriors would feel seeing that their reinforcements were just an utterly useless silver-level male Enchanting Demon.
Seeing Luo Yan not speak, Egger placed his fist on his chest, standing up respectably with a solemn expression.
"It's your courage that has inspired me. I have decided, I must become a man of valor just like you!"
"Very good! That's the spirit," said Luo Yan with mixed feelings, patting his shoulder. He eventually refrained from dampening his enthusiasm and comforted him, "Anyway, make sure you don't get caught by a female Knight... no, if you have a choice, try to surrender to a female Knight."
If what Mia had said was true, then his counterparts on the surface really had some twisted tastes.
Suddenly, he didn't feel quite so keen on escaping anymore.
"I'll never get caught! And even if I am... I, I will absolutely never surrender!"
Egger protested indignantly.
Luo Yan's face beamed with gratification as he patted the unbudging shoulder even harder.
Very good, very good.
Remember this spirit; it should come in handy when it counts.
After sending Egger away, Luo Yan bid farewell to the classmates with whom he had spent so much time and then approached the official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It was a goblin wearing glasses.
Unlike the ubiquitously seen goblins, goblins in Hell were considered an "endangered species," and ones that were more useful than humans at that.
"Mr. Luo Yan, according to the cabinet's decision... we appoint you to head over to... Eh, since that Demon King Territory has been destroyed, we'll trouble you to take care of reinstalling the core of the Demon King Territory, as well as rename that territory."
In front of Luo Yan, this Mr. Goblin was quite polite and respectful, as he was the cabinet's recommended candidate, after all.
Although, he couldn't quite understand why the cabinet would recommend a Bronze-level Undead Mage to take over this hot potato of a Flame Crystal.
Perhaps, the Demon God had already given up on that land...
Luo Yan, for his part, quickly took up the pen and filled in a name.
"Just call it the Great Graveyard."
He wasn't good at naming things, unable to conjure up anything fancy.
Moreover, he planned to play it safe; naturally, the more low-key and ordinary the name, the better.
Although the name did not conform to the standards of heraldry or the naming traditions of the Demon King Territories, the official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs hesitated only briefly before stamping the document.
What did it matter?
After all, the Demon God might not care at all about that enclave and might just cancel it after a while...
Especially considering that the place is part of Ryan Kingdom's territory, the land of knights on Taida Continent.
A Diamond-level Fear Demon had fallen there; he couldn't imagine any way this fellow before him had the slightest chance of surviving.
