MTL - Age of Mysticism-Chapter 355 nails in hell

  Chapter 355 Nails in Hell

   "Our cooperation is limited to seeking justice for the passing of the previous World Tree, and does not involve any party that has nothing to do with this matter."

  Luke expressed his understanding of the conditions of the demon Chi Yan.

  The underground steam city is located above an entrance to hell, and the rulers of Winter Capital know it. Both parties have default boundaries, so they can live in peace. If Chi Yan helps the hostile country of the Yate County League, it is something that the Yate County League will absolutely not tolerate.

  Luke also didn't want to bear the infamy of linking **** to attack the human kingdom, he just wanted to take this opportunity to knock a nail in hell.

  Hell has a unique geographical environment among the five ancient civilizations. No matter who wants to invade hell, first of all, it will take a lot of energy to deal with the harsh heat and ubiquitous lava.

  When the external pressure is low, the creatures in **** will develop the problem of internal fighting. Even during the ancient wars, even the dragon clan established a dragon kingdom with consensus and a unified leader, but **** is still hell, and only a few demon legions led by high-ranking demons were organized.

  After the artifact was lost, **** became looser than it was in ancient times.

  If two demons team up to attack another demon, there is a high probability that the two of them will fight first.

   Therefore, hell, which seems to be evil and not easy to provoke, is the best one to deal with among the five ancient civilizations. As long as they provoke, demons are willing to attack other demons and expand their territory and demons.

  Luke used 600,000 gold coupons to smash the demon Red Flame, which also required a lot of money for Raging Waves City. Fortunately, instead of paying cash directly, it is converted into materials and training fees. This money has been circulated in the industrial system of Raging Waves City. Not only is the real cost not much, but it can also stimulate the development of related industries.

   Especially the accumulation and upgrading of high temperature resistant materials and related technologies will determine whether human beings can directly enter **** for colonization in the future.

   Hell is good!

   Inexhaustible and cheap heat energy, extremely rich and easy-to-mine mineral resources.

   And as long as the demon Chi Yan uses it well, the future business will be huge!

  The **** full of red flames, in Luke's eyes, is a pristine blue ocean that has not yet been developed. The hundreds of thousands of years of wealth accumulated by the demons inside are like wildly growing leeks, waiting to be harvested by their sickles.

  Let the demon Chiyan make trouble for Art County United in Dongdu?

  It's too good to be useful!

  The demon Chi Yan didn't have any worries when he heard the meteorite's promise.

   Can you say no to free money? Can free materials be pushed out?

   This time, Chi Yan felt that he was in the hands of a local tyrant to make money, and the big brother in the list paid for it. No matter what, he wanted to create a world in hell.

   Sooner or later, I will hold a **** tour concert, and let the whole **** surrender to my singing.

  Chi Yan felt that adding up all the happy things he had encountered since he was promoted to a devil, he was not as happy as meeting the Meteorite Governor of Raging Wave City today, and felt more comfortable than eating a delicious soul meal.

   If it wasn't for the fact that sworn worship is not popular in hell, Chi Yan would definitely make an alliance with Meteor Xing and become brothers of different surnames.

"Governor Meteor, although I did not participate in the ancient war, I have an unshirkable responsibility for the destruction of the World Tree. Leave this matter to me. As long as the materials of the 600,000 gold coupons are in place, I will definitely Let Her Majesty the Moonlight Queen see your credit..."

  Luke immediately signed a contract with the demon Chi Yan, and then discussed the details of the steam engine crossing route and the assistance of the 600,000 gold coupons.

  During the period, Luke also deliberately marked several resource points around the Red Flame Territory, and winning them will help subsequent cooperation.

  The demon Chi Yan talked with Luke like glue.

  …

  In the winter capital, the intelligence agency of the Art County Union, the Ice Cave, is secretly arranging a hunting plan for Princess Dai.

  At this time, the harsh winter swept across the entire Northland, and all the battlefields in the Northland were frozen into permafrost. Most of the ports near the sea in Arter County have entered the ice age, and the defensive pressure on the Raging City fleet has dropped significantly.

  So the Yate army went south and the army launched a fierce attack on the northern army of the Golden Shield Empire, completely cutting off the connection between the empire and Snow City, and blocking the Queen of the Empire, Christina, in Snow City.

  At the same time, Snow City has also become a wedge embedded in the attacking army of the Yate County United, so that the Yate County United cannot attack the last line of defense in the north of the empire without attacking Snow City.

  Since the war between Yate County United and the Golden Shield Empire, the largest and most tragic Snow City battle broke out.

  For the Yate County United, breaking through Snow City will not only allow them to go south freely, but if they can capture the Empress of the Empire, it will also greatly damage the morale of the Golden Shield Empire army.

  For the empire, if Snow City can survive this winter, the battle situation may turn around. Therefore, as long as the northern army finds an opportunity, it will find a way to send troops and supplies to Snow City.

   During this period, Queen Christina refused all advice to let her leave Snow City. This greatly boosted the morale of the Snow City defenders, repelling the attacks of the Art County League time and time again.

  The flag of the empire has always been planted at the highest point of Snow City.

  The war situation did not unfold according to the plan of the Art County United. Queen Christina came to the front line in person, and the Raging City fleet wiped out the Leo Navy, which gave the Art County United a very strong sense of crisis.

  Information shows...Rage City is building a batch of war fortresses and a large amount of war materials, and more first-class warships will be launched at the end of winter.

   There is also the newly formed heavy armored assault division of Raging Waves City, which is also undergoing intense formation and training.

  The crisis in the western region of the Golden Shield Empire has been lifted, and the Western Region Legion has been downsized and reorganized in the Crescent Oasis. After the end of winter, it will have a certain combat effectiveness.

  Yate County United knows that if they fail to achieve a decisive victory in the winter, the war is very likely to be dragged into a protracted war.

   On the frontal battlefield, the Yate army continued to increase its troops to Snow City. The other fronts are also attacking from all sides. The Ice Cave and the Imperial Secret Service are engaged in a desperate duel in another battlefield.

  Princess Dai'er, who is in the winter capital, is undoubtedly a target of great political value.

   It’s just that since Princess Dai’er arrived in Winter Capital, she hasn’t left the Winter Capital Magic Steam Academy for half a step, which forced the people in the Ice Cave to make a careful plan.

"Professor Qingkong, tomorrow is the Winter Hunting Festival, which is the most important festival of the year here." After a esoteric art development report meeting, Professor Antoine said enthusiastically to Qingkong: "In the past, this time was the most important festival in Beijing." The last time the local people hunted in winter, the amount of prey they got was related to whether they could spend the whole winter safely.

  Every year during the Winter Hunting Festival, the college organizes a winter hunting. While celebrating the festival, it can also improve students’ application of the skills they have learned.

  If you are willing to participate in this year's Winter Hunting Festival, we will be honored to see your actual combat spells. I heard that you can fight undefeatedly with Dean Willed of Oulu Academy, and even hunted down four Abyss Apostles with your own hands. "

  Qing Kong asked: "To participate in the Winter Hunting Festival, you need to leave the academy."

   "Yes..." Professor Antoine said: "The college's winter hunting is held on the glacier outside the city, and we can protect your safety.

  As for Princess Dai, please stay in the academy. Some unknown people are asking for information about you. It would be very dangerous to leave here rashly. "

  Dai'er was wearing an apprentice robe, holding a book and following Qingkong's side. When she heard that she couldn't participate in the winter hunting, she couldn't help becoming depressed: "Well, I know that my willfulness has caused you a lot of trouble, and I will stay in the academy honestly. I wish you all a good time."

  Clear Sky didn't think much about it, and replied to Antoine: "I'm not interested in participating in non-academic activities, so I won't participate in the Winter Hunting Festival. I wish you a happy time."

  Qingkong's answer was unexpected by Antoine, but it was reasonable considering Qingkong's usual behavior.

  "Professor Qingkong, your talent is admirable, and your diligence is admirable. Since you came to our academy to exchange secret arts, I have never seen you do anything other than study and teaching.

   No wonder you have made such achievements, and were recognized as the successor of Oulu College by Dean Will Reid.

  Since you are not participating in the Winter Hunt Festival, I can only express my regret.

   At least you get a day off. "

  Qing Kong said: "If there is nothing else, I will go back to my room. There are a few borrowed books that I haven't finished reading yet."

  Antoine is used to the clear sky and cold, even a bit unreasonable attitude, which makes people unconsciously keep a distance from her.

   "Okay, Professor Clear Sky, I wish you a good winter hunting harvest."

   Qingkong nodded to Antoine and turned to leave.

Princess Daier ran after her with a book in her arms: "I'm sorry, Miss Sunny Sky, it's because of my willfulness that you can't participate in the Winter Hunting Festival. I heard from the students here that the Winter Hunting Festival is very fun." .”

  Clear Sky was walking in the corridor, and the students she met consciously stepped aside to salute her, and then quietly looked at this beautiful elf with the status of Queen of Moonlight, and Princess Dai of the Golden Shield Empire.

"My task is to constantly improve myself, and wasting time socializing is meaningless to me. I didn't give up participating in the Winter Hunting Festival because of you, but your waywardness did cause a lot of unnecessary trouble for others .

   Isn't the lesson from last time not enough? "

  Dai'er lowered her head, tears welling in her eyes: "I...I, I'm just scared."

   "Afraid?" Qing Kong stopped, then led Dai'er into a room next to it, and said to the students inside: "Go out first, I will occupy this room for a while."

  The students immediately ran out.

  Qingkong waved and closed the door, sealed it, and asked Princess Daier, "What are you afraid of?"

"I, I don't know." Tears rolled down from Dai'er's eyes: "Father didn't see me, and the queen went to the northern border. The governor of Meteorite came to Dongdu, and you also want to come to Dongdu. Sister Agatha is busy. no time to see me...

  I don't know why, but I just ran out because I was afraid. "

  Dai'er lay on Qingkong's shoulder and began to cry.

  It was only then that Qingkong realized what kind of pressure Dai'er had been enduring behind her smile all day long.

  Princess Dai'er is simple, but her life in the palace also makes her feel what kind of big events are behind all this. And she couldn't see the truth, so she would naturally think wildly.

  Sneaking out and following him to the enemy's winter capital, this is his trust and reliance on himself.

   Qingkong held up Dai'er's head, flicked the teardrops lightly with his fingers, and the ice shards splashed on the side of Dai'er's face.

   "I ignored your feelings, and Meteor didn't fulfill his duty and promise to you.

  Tomorrow's Winter Hunting Festival, I'll let Meteor take you out to play. "

   "Really?" Dai'er, who was still crying, immediately couldn't help being happy: "Are you going with us?"

   "No..." Qing Kong said: "I said before, I don't like non-academic socializing, I believe Meteor can protect you and have a good day."

   "It's really a pity that Miss Qingkong won't go, we will buy you a gift." Dai'er didn't show any regret because Qingkong didn't go.

   "Let's go, I really have a few books that I haven't finished reading. They are all excellent works that Oulu College doesn't have. After you finish today's homework, you can prepare for tomorrow's Winter Hunting Festival."

   "Go, go, I will not be lazy, and finish the homework as quickly as possible."

  Da'er dragged Qingkong out of the room, without any fear in her heart, she had already flown to tomorrow's Winter Hunting Festival.

  Luke, who had just returned to the apartment from get off work at this time, was thinking about how the winter hunting festival would make Delle happy and send her back to Clear Sky safely.

"Sir..." Mina came out when she heard the door opening, she took the briefcase from Luke's hand, and then took the hat to hang on the hanger at the door: "Dinner is ready, I bought a smoked fish, Ordered a smoked fish toast.

  By the way, I also prepared a Winter Hunting Festival gift for you, a good harvest for the Winter Hunting Festival! "

  Mina took out a gift box, and after opening it, there was a pen inside.

  Luke picked up the pen and looked at it: "This pen should be expensive, right?"

  Mina said: "The help you give me and my family is even more precious, everyone respects you very much."

  Luke knew what Mina wanted to express. Her father should have paid for this pen.

   "Thank your father for me. If he gets into trouble in the future, just don't tell me."

   "Breaking, causing trouble?" Mina blinked incomprehensibly.

  Luke was amused by what he said: "Haha, nothing? Tomorrow is the Winter Hunting Festival. This is my first time in Winter Capital. Is there anything interesting here?"

  Mina's attention was drawn to the Winter Hunting Festival, and she said excitedly: "Of course there are many interesting things. There is an ice sculpture exhibition in the city of Dongdu, and you can dig ice for fishing on the glaciers outside the city.

  Winter City Magic Steam Academy will also create many small ice magic animals, which will be randomly placed anywhere in the city for citizens to catch.

  There are circus performances, operas, floats and dance parades.

  In the evening, there will be a fireworks show and a carnival.

  Underground steam city organic car race, ale festival, and…”

  Hearing that there are so many things to do in the Winter Hunting Festival, Luke, who doesn't know how to arrange it, is a little overwhelmed.

   "Tomorrow I will spend the Winter Hunting Festival with a friend. Since you are so familiar with the Winter Hunting Festival, you are responsible for arranging the itinerary."

   Luke throws trouble at Mina.

   Mina was very curious about the friend Luke said: "Sir, you have been here for so long, and I haven't seen you have any friends. Is it a man? Or a woman?"

   "Girl, how old are you?"

  Mina was even more curious: "What is her relationship with you?"

"…friend!"
