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

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

But for the demon Chi Yan... using gambling money to pay this toll feels like working in vain.

Although the money that Meteorite won this time was as high as more than 50 million At coins, he only invested 100 gold coupons. Something that allows Meteorite to come to the core of the empire for transportation must be valuable. If you want to cross the border for this little money, why?

It's a loss even if you think about it.

"Meteor Governor, may I know...what is it that you want to transport?"

Luke felt that the demon Chi Yan would see it sooner or later, so he did not hide too much: "A steam engine. You don't need to know the origin of the engine, just allow it to pass through your territory and enter hell. The tyrant will be responsible for the transportation."

."

Upon hearing that it was a steam engine, the demon Chi Yan showed an expression of understanding.

Because Yate County is located at a high latitude and relies on steam technology, it invests very heavily in steam technology. As a city built on steam, Dongdu leads the world in the use of steam.

The Golden Shield Empire sent heavyweight high-level spies like Meteorite to the Winter Capital to steal steam engines. This shows the technical advantages of the steam engines developed by Yate County Lianxin.

Chi Yan didn't have much interest in the steam engine itself. He couldn't build such a high-tech thing even if it was given to him. Besides, hell is not a place suitable for developing steam technology, so Chi Yan gave up on robbing it.

The idea of ​​a steam engine.

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

Do you still want your own face?

The person in front of me is the governor of Raging Wave City. If he doesn't make a serious move this time, it will be difficult to encounter such a good opportunity next time.

"Governor Meteor, you caused me a lot of damage by interfering with this game. The money you win will be considered as compensation. We need to have a good discussion about the cost of the steam engine transiting from me and decide on a price that is consistent with your identity and wealth.

cost."

More than 50 million yat coins were hacked like this, and Luke wasn't angry. It was just a stepping stone to meet 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 regret it.

And Chi Yan really regretted it, this was more than 500 million YAT coins! Meteorite actually agreed without blinking an eye!

A hundred thousand gold coupons are given for just a toll. Is Nutao City so rich?

"Meteor Governor..." Demon Chi Yan was knocked unconscious by Meteor with gold coupons, and his tone was a little humble: "It seems that this steam engine is very important to you. It would be bad if something unexpected happens on the road. In 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 nests."

Luke laughed loudly: "Pack up all the accidents and give me a total cost. 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 amount of money is not worth mentioning to you."

"This amount of money is really not worth mentioning to me." Luke said easily: "Since you run the casino, why don't we make a bet with these 300,000 gold coupons... and have a gamble.

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

"Really?" The six hundred thousand gold coupons greatly stimulated the demon Chi Yan, and also made his gambler restless.

"Of course it's true! Let's see if you dare?"

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

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

"good!"

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

He clapped his hands, sparks flying.

Then, from the lava pool under his seat, a charming hell enchantress emerged with a coquettish look.

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

Here, it turns out that a demon Lord is visiting."

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

In hell, apart from fighting, demons rarely meet with each other.

"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 demon queen: "This is the Meteorite Governor from Raging Wave City. Go and let the Meteorite Governor inspect it.

one time."

After making eye contact, the enchantress showed an imperceptible smile. She twisted her waist, stepped on sheep's hooves, and shook her thin arrow tail, and walked charmingly in front of Luke.

"These are two very ordinary stone balls. Please check them, Mr. Governor."

Luke picked up two stone balls from the Enchantress's hand.

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

Luke knew what trick the demon Chi Yan was trying to play. He pretended to check the stone ball and even used magic to detect the material.

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

How to bet?"

At this time, the enchantress had quickly grabbed the two stone balls in her hands. She held her small fists in front of Luke's eyes, and her eyes were filled with enchantment.

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

Don't use magic or other cheating skills, everything depends on luck."

"Luck?"

Luke observed the Enchantress's hand very carefully. No matter which direction he looked at, he could not see the color of the ball inside. However, the other two balls were clearly visible.

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

The tyrant sat and watched with cold eyes. Although he could not tell the colors of the balls in the Enchantress's hand, he knew that the meteor, which was more cunning than the devil... must have known it.

A moment of silence for the unfortunate Chi Yan.

Today's devils don't do their job, they are really a defeated generation.

Luke grabbed Enchantress's left hand and stroked it, causing Enchantress to giggle. But her smile quickly turned into pain, because Luke grabbed her wrist, and the huge grip made her feel that her wrist bones were about to be broken.

It's like crushed into pieces.

"What's in this hand is...the red ball."

As Luke finished speaking, the Enchantress, who couldn't bear the strength, let go of her hand after shouting in pain, and a red ball fell to the ground.

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

"It seems that my luck is really good."

Demon Chi Yan's smile just stopped suddenly at this moment. He didn't expect that Yue Xing would 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 the demon girl and said to the demon Chiyan: "Since I have good luck, I might as well gamble with you again. If you win, I will give you 600,000 gold coupons for travel expenses; if you

If I lose, not only will my toll be waived, but I will also be compensated another 600,000 gold coupons.

It's up to you to decide how to bet...or just keep guessing."

Demon Chi Yan looked at the aggrieved Enchantress and did not dare to continue playing guessing ball with Luke.

The arm of this hell enchantress has been modified. There are channels hidden in both hands, running through the left and right sides. When the gambling game begins, the enchantress will put the red ball in her left hand, and then based on the gambler's guess, she will choose to replace it or not.

The position of the ball.

It was a very clumsy trick, and it deceived many players.

Luke lets the demon Chi Yan choose the gambling method, letting him cheat for a sure win. As long as he spends a thousand dollars, there will be a way to deal with him.

The demon Chi Yan waved his hands angrily, letting the enchantress sink into the magma pool and return to hell.

"Just because you were lucky once, doesn't mean your luck will always be good."

"Six hundred thousand gold coupons are a lot of wealth for me. But if it is used to befriend a demon who controls a hell passage in the winter capital, I think it is worth it.

So whether I win or lose the bet... doesn't matter to me.

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

Demon Chiyan was shocked by Luke's words. He was still debating whether to continue gambling for the 600,000 gold coupons, but the other party had already set his target on him.

"Governor of Meteor, I admire your magnanimity and courage. I've already lost this bet before it even started. You are so familiar with the most trusted demon around me, yet you still spend such a large sum of money on me.

, it’s hard for me not to give in to you.”

Luke stretched out his hand, summoned a ball of flame in his palm, and said slowly: "I think this is a win-win situation.

In the ancient war, Hell and four other ancient civilizations burned down the World Tree. I was entrusted by Queen Moonlight of the Moonlight Court to hold the five ancient civilizations accountable. This matter is not easy to handle. I hope there is a local agent in Hell.
