At the Grand Ambar Hotel, guests in the auditorium wait for the ceremony to begin. In the middle of the auditorium is a red carpet with flower girls carrying flower baskets on both sides of the carpet, and a band playing festive and serious music.

Backstage, Angelia, who has been dressed up, has a decadent look. The long wait made her impatient, but she didn't dare to run away, so she had to take out a cigarette and put it in her mouth.

Before Angelia could take out the lighter and light a cigarette, the cigarette in her mouth turned into a piece of dust.

"Father, you've gone too far!"

Faced with his daughter's complaints, Elvis said expressionlessly: "Remember who you are today and your responsibility to the family. ”

"I have done as you wished, dressed myself like a vase in my breathless corset and girdle. But where is my fiancé? He doesn't seem to care about you at all! ”

"I've sent someone to call Luke, he'll be there soon, and he won't delay the start of the ceremony......"

As Elvis spoke, there was a slight tremor on the ground. Since the first tremor occurred not long ago, I don't know how many microtremors there have been.

People who live in the winter capital are used to this kind of tremor, and the large equivalent blasting and geothermal movement in the underground will cause the tremors, but today it seems to be a little too dense.

Elvis took out his gold pocket watch and looked at the time, calm on the surface but already in a hurry.

The guests waiting outside are all people of status, and the ceremony must be carried out on time.

And when Elvis was about to send someone to urge him again, a subordinate ran in in a panic.

"Old, boss...... I don't know what's going on underground, it's full of earthquakes and landslides. Mr. Luke, he ......"

Seeing the appearance of his subordinates, Elvis had a bad premonition, and he urgently asked, "Luke, what happened to him?" Is it hurt? ”

"The Titan I's underground test site was subsided by the earthquake, and Mr. Luke and the Titan prototype all fell into the burrow. Underneath the Cave...... Below is the lava river. ”

The sudden change made Elvis a little unsteady on his feet, and he roared, "How did you protect him!" As I said, you can all die, but he can't be hurt in the slightest. ”

"Boss, the accident happened so suddenly that we didn't have time to react. Now we are organizing a rescue, but the collapsed stones are blocked under the hole, and the rescue is very difficult! ”

"No matter how difficult it is, it needs to be saved. Go find the best rescue team in the Winter Capital, and ask the geology professor and earth magic professor of the Winter Capital Magic Steam Academy, and ask them to help rescue Luke......"

Elvis gave orders one after another.

In this short period of time, his heart smashed directly from the sky to the ground, and the peak moment of the family all came to naught.

Angelia heard Luke fall into the hole with the lava river, and was stunned for a long time without reacting, and after a while asked, "Father, is the engagement ceremony still taking place?" ”

Seeing her father's red eyes, Angelia immediately shut up: "Okay, I won't ask!" ”

The news of Luke's death underground gradually spread throughout the Grand Ambar Hotel, with some people lamenting, some rejoicing, and others pondering what the ripple effect would be if Luke did die unexpectedly.

At this time, Luke rode on gluttony and landed on a high cliff underground.

At the foot of the cliff, a long stretch of steam pipe is undergoing a mutation. The straight pipe writhed like a python, and it broke free of the bracket that held itself to the stone wall, and then rolled over and drilled through the ground.

The ground cracked and shook, and the rubble cracked and scattered. When all the pipes are gone, only a bottomless hole remains.

Gluttony let out a dragon groan, then leaped up and burrowed into the back of Luke's hand. When everything was quiet, a figure came out of the shadows.

"Governor Meteor, is this what you're going to do in the winter?" The man was Herkkin, who stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down at the hole left by the disappearance of the steam pipes, and asked Luke, "Where did they go?" ”

"Raging Waves!" Luke replied casually, and then asked Herkkin, "The news of my accident has gotten out?" ”

"It's been passed out. Harut Heavy Industries is rescuing you at the scene of the incident, and if they can't find you, they will determine that you and the Titan I prototype fell into the lava river together.

Even if anyone doubts, there is no evidence to prove anything. ”

"Excellent! When it's done, it's time for me to go. The rest is up to you...... After winter, the Roaring Waves fleet and the Roaring Waves armored assault division will be heading north, do you know what to do? ”

"Rest assured, Lord Doge. The military setup of the Artshire League will appear on your desk in time, but please keep the situation in check, if the Artshire United's defeat is too fast, it will be difficult for me to do it. ”

Luke laughed, "I don't want this war to end too soon. Only when you and I cooperate well can we achieve a win-win situation that everyone is satisfied with. ”

"Thank you, Lord Governor. When you're gone, I'm not going to give you away.

Have a nice trip! ”

Hidden in the darkness, Luke summoned the gluttonous rider and flew towards the underground steam city against the upper floors of the cave wall.

Change your clothes, pull up the collar of your trench coat, and lower the brim of your hat to cover your cheeks. Luke arrives at the Locomotive Party Tower and uses the VIP card to get the elevator running down.

The temperature rises as the altitude drops, and the surrounding black stone walls gradually turn red, as if they are in a red-hot furnace.

After a vibration, the elevator seemed to pass through a layer of enchantment. It appeared in a fiery sky and descended at a steady speed without any traction rope pulling.

Below is a red rocky field, surrounded by lava rivers flowing with lava. In the lava river, you can see some hellish creatures rising and falling in it, like fish swimming in a surface river.

In the middle of the rocky field is a large camp with a large concentration of infernal creatures.

As soon as Luke's cage elevator settled, a group of Hellland soldiers immediately surrounded him. They weren't naked like the other Hells, but they were all well-armoured, and they had swords in their hands.

The elevator door opened, and Luke had just taken a step from inside when he felt the soles of his shoes melt from the heat of the ground. He immediately unleashed a fire-resisting spell, forming a defensive shield on the outer layer of his body that could withstand the heat.

The surrounding Hell Clan soldiers immediately saluted Luke, and the leader said, "Lord Governor, welcome to the territory of the Hell Demon Red Flame. Our lord is already waiting in his palace, please come with me......"

The palace that the leader of the Hellsoldiers is referring to is a somewhat hearth-like building in the middle of the camp, and the other hellish buildings are also like stoves. The refraction of light in the air caused by the high temperature causes everything in the camp to appear shaky and blurred.

Luke followed the leader of the Hellsoldiers towards the palace, and on the way asked, "Is the armor sent by Angry Waves City still used satisfactorily?" ”

The leader of the Hellsoldiers did not dare to slack off Luke, and he replied respectfully, "Very satisfied!" Ordinary items from the surface can hardly withstand the heat of Hell, but the armor and weapons sent by Raging Waves can stay strong and sharp in lava.

Thank you, Lord Governor! ”

"This is just the beginning of the cooperation between Angry Waves City and the Red Flame Territory, and you will have more weapons that you can use in Hell in the future."

Luke asked about the Red Flame Territory as he observed the camp.

It still has a very original appearance. Lacking tools, the Hellpeople had to build rudimentary houses with their hands and magic. And even if it is this kind of humble house, only the Hell clan with status is qualified to live in it, and other low-level Hell units are just random places to find and count their own nests.

There is no discipline and the camp of hell is like a refugee camp.

The armor sent by Angry Waves City was only equipped by a very small number of Hell soldiers. The armor made them extremely powerful and powerful, drawing envious glances from the other infernal creatures.

Walking to the palace of Red Flame, it was still tall and majestic. At the entrance of the palace lay two three-headed dogs of hell, their claws pressed against thick bones, which were covered with the marks of the three-headed dog's gnawing.

Smelling the smell of humans, the originally lazy three-headed hellhounds raised their heads together to look at Luke, and a threatening sound of "woo" came out of their throats.

At this time, a reprimand came out of the palace, and the three-headed dog of hell immediately wagged its tail, and all six heads were in the shape of Erha.

The escorted Hellclan soldiers stopped outside the palace, and the leader saluted Luke and said, "Our lord is inside the palace, Lord Governor...... Come in. ”

The palace does not even have a door, and from the outside you can see the main hall inside, and the throne in the deepest part of the main hall.

At this time, the demon Red Flame was sitting on the throne, holding his chin very fanciously, looking at Luke who was standing outside the palace.

Alas......

Luke could only sigh in his heart: The Earth Emperor is really earth!

Helplessly, Luke could only cooperate and walked into the main hall, and saluted the demon Red Flame with the etiquette of the minister to the lord: "Special Minister of the Golden Shield Empire, Governor of Angry Waves City, Meteor, meet the Red Flame Lord!"

The friendship between our two states is like magma in a lava river, flowing unquenchable! ”

The eyeshadow demon Red Flame held the puff of the Hell Lord: "Governor of the Falling Star, welcome to my territory, please sit ......"

Red Flame waved his hand, and a stone chair appeared behind Luke.

Luke just looked at it and didn't sit down, "You don't really want to talk to me in this way, do you?" ”

The demon Red Flame sitting on the throne suddenly vented his confidence, and he laughed and said, "I, a remote little demon leader, usually don't have distinguished guests to visit. I received you according to the process I saw in the book, since you don't like it...... Let's take a different approach. ”

Demon Red Flame chanted a spell, shaking his fingers, the palace scene changed rapidly, and a long table appeared in front of Luke. The throne vanished, and Red Flame sat at the other end of the long table.

"That should be fine, Governor."

"Yes!" Luke sat back satisfied, then said, "You received my stuff." ”

"Roger." Red Flame replied, "I didn't expect the engine you were talking about to be such a big thing, and the earthquake in the Winter Capital Dungeon seems to be shut down. There are also chests salvaged from lava rivers...... Rest assured, I didn't look, you can check the seal. ”

During Red Flame's spellcasting, the Ragnarok engine and chests containing the Titan I prototype appear on either side of the main hall.

The Ragnarok's engines are ten meters high and fifteen meters wide, crisscrossed with shrunken steam pipes. Strips of flickering white mist form a ribbon-like flow of air, slowly winding and shuttling through the gaps between the engine ducts.

It's exactly the same as the engine photo in your phone profile.

Seeing the results of his three months of busy work in the winter capital, Luke couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With this engine, the Ragnarok Floating Fortress is the most important step forward.

And then on the other side, the transport box containing the Titan I prototype. It fell into the lava river at the bottom of the cavern after the subsidence, and was salvaged by the Hell soldiers who guarded it and brought it here.

The goods are ready, and the rest is to be transported to the city of angry waves.

"I'll leave the things to you, and transport them to Angry Waves as soon as possible."

Demon Red Flame said, "I will transport them myself, and the Demon Tyrant will follow. Protected by two demons, they will arrive safely in Raging Waves.

The first batch of aid you gave, I've already received, is even better than I could have imagined!

When will the assistance arrive in the future? ”

Luke replied, "You send your things to Raging Waves, and you can return with a second batch of aid." Subsequent assistance will be delivered on time with a deadline of 10 days. ”

Demon Red Flame laughed with satisfaction.

The weapons he received from the city of Angry Waves did exceed his expectations, and the sophisticated armor and weapons made the limited military strength of the territory multiply the combat effectiveness. As long as there are a few more batches of assistance, you can use force against the neighboring demon territory. Loot minerals from their controlled areas, then sell more weapons from Raging Waves.

It's like rolling a fireball in hell, which gets bigger and bigger until it forms an overwhelming tide of fire.

Luke continues to negotiate with the demon Red Flame, this is the starting point of his attack on Hell, and the foundation must be strong.

……

At night, the Winter Capital Grand Ambar Hotel was devoid of the usual noise, and Luke's accident made what should have been a festive day extremely sad.

In the snowstorm, Herkekin walked down the stairs of the hotel step by step.

He had just met several of the big names in the county league in the hotel, including Elvis.

Herkkin told them: "The successive earthquakes that occurred underground are a large-scale sabotage operation launched by the Golden Shield Empire's secret intelligence bureau and the underground rebels. They use some kind of arcane technique to activate old steam pipes that have been turned into mysterious objects.

The underground test site for the Titan I prototype was an accident, and it happened to be in the attack zone.

As confirmed by Ice Cave agents, no Luke was found in the cavern where the subsidence had formed. His chances of surviving the lava river...... Infinitely close to zero. ”

Herkkin didn't know if his words would be accepted by the big guys. Anyway, Luke, that is, the meteorite, is gone, and his research materials are all in his own hands.

If he is held accountable, he will resign and concentrate on preparing for the steam engineer exam.

The ice cave agents waiting outside the hotel opened the door for Helkkin.

But with one hand, the door closes.

Darikova didn't stand there at any point, and wrapped Herkkin in murderous anger: "I have something I want to talk to you about." ”

Facing his former right-hand man, Herkkin smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about ......."
