Age of Mysticism

The power engine needed for the floating fortress is a big one. According to the current relationship between Art County United and the Golden Shield Empire, it is impossible for Luke to transport things from here to Raging City through normal channels.

He could only find a way to make a big detour through hell, so he deliberately came to find the demon Chi Yan who controlled the entrance of hell here.

It's just that for the demon Chi Yan... paying for the toll with gambling money feels like a waste of work.

Although Meteor won more than 50 million Atres this time, he only voted for 100 gold coupons. Things that allow Meteor to come to the core of the empire for transshipment must be of great value. If you give this little money and want to transit, no matter how you think about it, it will be a loss.

"Governor Meteorite, may I know... what are you transporting?"

Luke felt that the demon Chi Yan would see him sooner or later, so he didn't hide too much: "A steam engine. You don't need to know the origin of the engine, as long as you allow it to pass through your territory and enter hell. The tyrant is responsible for transporting it." .”

Hearing that it was a steam engine, the demon Chi Yan showed a clear expression.

Due to its high latitude and its dependence on steam technology, Yate County has invested a lot in steam technology. Dongdu is a city built on steam, and the utilization of steam here leads the whole world.

The Golden Shield Empire sent a heavyweight senior spy like Meteor to steal the steam engine in winter, which shows what kind of technical advantages the steam engine newly researched by Art County has.

Chi Yan didn't have much interest in the steam engine itself. Even if it was given to him, he couldn't make such a high-tech thing. Besides, hell is not a suitable place to develop steam technology, so Chi Yan gave up the idea of ​​stealing this steam engine.

But you can't just give it a hundred gold coupons and let it pass through its own territory.

Do you want to lose face?

The person in front of him is the governor of Raging Waves City. If he doesn't hit hard this time, it will be difficult to meet such a good opportunity next time.

"Governor Meteorite, you have caused me a lot of losses by interfering with this game, and the money you win will be regarded as compensation. We need to have a good discussion on the cost of the steam engine passing through my place, and decide on a price that suits your identity and wealth." cost."

More than 50 million ATKs were hacked just like that, and Luke was not angry. That was just a stepping stone, in order to see the demon Chi Yan.

"How much do you want?"

"One hundred thousand..." Demon Chi Yan showed a sly smile: "I'm talking about gold coupons."

"Deal!" Chi Yan just made an offer, and Luke immediately agreed, as if he was afraid that Chi Yan would go back on his word.

And Chi Yan really regretted it, this is more than 500 million Atte coins! Meteor actually agreed without blinking an eye!

One hundred thousand gold coupons for just one toll, is Rage City so rich?

"Governor of Meteor..." Demon Chi Yan was stunned by Meteor's gold coupon, and his tone was a little humble: "It seems that this steam engine is very important to you. It will be bad if there is any accident on the road. Inside my territory There are some disobedient and very dangerous guys, if you are willing to pay another fee, I can personally let them stay in their dens honestly."

Luke laughed loudly: "Pack up all kinds of accidents and report the total cost to me. I'm not interested in talking to you one by one."

"Three hundred thousand..." Demon Chi Yan emphasized again: "It's a gold coupon."

Luke shook his head with a smile, and said to Chi Yan: "You are very greedy!"

"I think this little money is not worth mentioning to you."

"This amount of money is really nothing to me." Luke said easily: "Since you run a casino, why don't we bet the 300,000 gold coupons...a gamble.

I won. You will waive this fee and sign a contract to ensure that my goods can pass through the border safely. If you win, I will give you 600,000 gold coupons. "

"Really?" The 600,000 gold voucher greatly stimulated the demon Chi Yan, and also made his gambler's heart restless.

"Of course it's true! It depends on whether you dare or not?"

"Of course I dare!" Demon Chi Yan said boldly: "What are you betting on, tell me!"

Luke said casually: "You are the master, how you bet is up to you."

"good!"

Chi Yan was very happy, this was another 300,000 gold coupons for nothing.

He clapped his hands, and sparks flew everywhere.

Then, from the magma pool under his seat, a charming hell enchantress floated out with her head swaying.

"Master... why did you leave the hell concert you held halfway through? Your fans are waiting for you to conquer with your singing...

This, it turned out that there was a demon lord visiting. "

When the enchantress saw the tyrant, she immediately became alert.

In hell, except for battles, demons rarely meet demons.

"Let them wait, I have a big deal to discuss now." The demon Chi Yan took out two small balls and put them in the hands of the enchantress: "This is the Meteorite Governor from Raging Waves City. Go, let the Meteorite Governor inspect one time."

After making eye contact, the Enchantress showed an imperceptible smile, twisting her waist, stepping on her goat's hoof and wagging the thin arrow tail, she walked in front of Luke charmingly.

"These are two very ordinary stone balls, please inspect them, Lord Governor."

Luke took two stone balls from the hands of the Enchantress.

They are indeed two very ordinary stone balls, the size of pigeon eggs, one is red and the other is blue.

Luke knew what tricks the demon Chiyan was going to play. He pretended to check the stone ball, and even used magic to check the material.

After putting the two stone balls back into the demon girl's palm, Luke said to the demon Chi Yan: "The stone balls are not hollow, nor have they been modified by alchemy, they are natural red and blue.

How to bet? "

At this time, Yao Ji has quickly grabbed the two stone balls in her two hands. She clenched her small fist and placed it in front of Luke's eyes, her eyes were enchanting.

The demon Chi Yan smiled and said: "It's very simple. Now the two balls are held in the two hands of the enchantress. As long as you guess the color of the ball in which hand, you will win.

Don't use magic, and don't use other cheating skills, it's all about luck. "

"Lucky?"

Luke observed Enchantress's hand very carefully, no matter from which direction he couldn't see what color ball was inside. But the other two balls can be seen clearly.

As if he really fell under the charm of the enchantress, Luke admired it beautifully, and even grabbed the enchantress' hand.

The tyrant sat on the sidelines and watched. Even though he couldn't see the color of the balls in Yao Ji's hands, he knew that Meteor was more cunning than the devil...he definitely knew.

A moment of silence for the unlucky Chi Yan.

Today's demons are not doing business. It's really a beat generation.

Luke grabbed the demon girl's left hand and stroked it, which made the demon girl giggle. But her smile quickly turned into pain, because Luke grabbed her wrist, and the huge grip made her feel like her wrist bones were about to be crushed.

"This hand is... a red ball."

After Luke finished speaking, the enchantress who couldn't bear the strength let go of her hand after a painful cry, and a red ball fell to the ground.

Luke let the Enchantress go and picked up the red ball from the ground.

"It seems that my luck is really good."

The devil Chi Yan's smile just now also stopped abruptly at this moment, he didn't expect Meteor to see through his trick and win the bet so easily.

"Governor, your luck is really good!"

Luke threw the red ball in his hand to Yao Ji, and said to the demon Chi Yan: "Since my luck is good, I might as well bet with you again. If you win, I will give you 600,000 gold coupons as travel expenses; if you If I lose, not only will my toll be exempted, but I will also be compensated with another 600,000 gold coupons.

How to bet is up to you... Or continue to guess the ball. "

The demon Chi Yan looked at the aggrieved Enchantress, and didn't dare to continue playing ball guessing with Luke.

The arm of this demon girl from hell has been remodeled, and there are passages hidden in both hands, connecting left and right. At the beginning of the game, the enchantress will put the red ball in her left hand, and then choose to change or not change the position of the two balls according to the gambler's guess.

It was a very clumsy trick that deceived many players at the beginning.

Luke let the demon Chiyan choose a gambling method, which is to let him cheat for a sure win. As long as he is out of the way, there is a way to deal with him.

The demon Chiyan waved his hand angrily, causing the enchantress to sink into the magma pool and return to hell.

"Being lucky once doesn't mean your luck will always be good."

"Six hundred thousand gold vouchers are a lot of wealth to me. But if it is used to make friends with a demon who has mastered a hell passage in Winter Capital, I think it is worth it.

So winning or losing the bet doesn't matter to me...

No matter what the outcome, I win, just in a slightly different way. "

The demon Chi Yan was shocked by Luke's words, and he was still wondering whether he should continue to gamble for the 600,000 gold coupons, but the other party had already targeted him.

"Governor Meteorite, I admire your magnanimity and courage. I have already lost this bet before it even started. You are so familiar with the most trusted demon descendants around me, and you still took such a large sum of money to throw at me , it is hard for me not to succumb to you."

Luke stretched out his hand, summoned a flame in his palm, and said slowly: "I think it's a win-win situation.

In the ancient war, Hell and the other four ancient civilizations burned down the World Tree. I was entrusted by the Moonlight Queen of the Moonlight Court to hold the five ancient civilizations accountable. This matter is difficult to handle, I hope there is a local agent in hell to speak for the Moonlight Court. "

After listening to Luke's words, the demon Chi Yan became nervous.

"You want me to be a traitor to hell?"

"How can this be considered a traitor? As the legal successor of the previous World Tree, it is reasonable for the Moonlight King's Court to hold the five ancient civilizations accountable. It's just that the situation in hell is too complicated, and no demon can represent hell. If you are willing to be the Moonlight King It will definitely be of great help to improve your status in hell."

Demon Chi Yan thought about it seriously.

On behalf of the Moonlight Royal Court, I don't have the guts to hold the entire hell accountable. But the courage to seek benefits in the name of going to hell... is there, and it is very big.

With the aid of Raging Waves City and Moonlight Royal Court, find a few weak demons in hell to beat them up, and then negotiate with Moonlight Royal Court in the name of hell.

Isn't the status and prestige of both sides just brushed out like this?

The demon Chi Yan thinks that he not only has musical talent, but also has a smart mind.

"I need to think about this matter."

Although he wanted to agree immediately in his heart, the devil has the reserve of a devil, and he still has to pretend to be forceful.

Luke smiled and asked Chi Yan: "How should the toll be calculated?"

Chi Yan said loudly: "Since the governor won the bet, of course I will keep my promise and let your goods pass through my territory for free. I guarantee that there will be no accidents."

Luke asked again: "Shall we continue to gamble?"

Chi Yan laughed and said: "I bet, I may not win. But if I don't bet, your 600,000 gold coupon is mine, why should I bet?"

Luke laughed too, and said, "No betting... I can't let you take my 600,000 gold certificate for nothing!

It is very difficult to hold the five ancient civilizations accountable on behalf of World Tree. I suggest using the 600,000 gold coupons to buy supplies from Raging Waves City to arm your demon-born army. You find a way to get a few demons to pay the Moonlight Royal Court some compensation, so that I can show Her Majesty the Moonlight Queen a good start. "

The devil Chiyan thought, isn't this the same as what he just thought?

He asked Luke: "What can you provide me? The environment in hell is very different from here. Your things may not be usable in hell."

"Yes, the high temperature of hell can melt even steel, but Rage City can produce special steel that can resist the high temperature of hell. You will have the only army of hell devils armed with heat-resistant steel in hell, which can make you The strength of his territory is far away from the surrounding demon territory.

And you have been in the human world for so long, you should know that the discipline and strategy and tactics of the human army are far beyond the hell of freedom.

An army armed with steel needs a corresponding team of professional officers in order to fully display its combat effectiveness.

Rage City can train professional officers for your demon army. Even if the demons can't match the obedience of human soldiers to orders, as long as they are obedient, your army's ability to cooperate in tactics and strategies will far exceed that of your neighbors..."

Luke's words had a great temptation to the demon Chiyan.

Chi Yan wandered around in the underground steam city of Winter Capital, so he was naturally very different from the demons living in the depths of hell. He is well aware of how the human-dominated secular world is changing. If it weren't for the special environment of hell, the demons in hell should have worried about the expansion of human power to hell.

Now... the first step of the expansion of the human race to hell is being taken, and this is not something that can be stopped if you want to.

And why hold back?

The influence of the human race in hell must be realized through demons. If I am not the first demon to cooperate with humans, other demons will naturally agree. He is not the only demon in the human world.

In front of him is the most vibrant city in the human world. If he loses this opportunity, he may become a beaten demon.

"I will not do anything against Yate County United for you."
