Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 419 Pool Party

  The man with the sore face smiled and showed his big yellow teeth, he shook the gold coupon in his hand and said to Luke: "My lord, I don't understand this kind of national affairs, but I know that whoever has money will be powerful.

  Tedgar Hills is definitely not as rich as the Empire, and the Northern Legion is not as rich as Raging City. I heard that the barbarian Fekchik was doing business in Raging Waves City, and he became the second richest person in the entire Holy Mountain in just two years. "

  Luke couldn't help laughing and took out another golden coupon: "Your vision is very unique, I'll come back tomorrow. If you get valuable information, hang a black money scorpion outside the door."

  The sore-faced man snatched the gold coupon from Luke, and said repeatedly: "I understand, my lord, just wait for my news."

  Luke left from the sore-faced man's black potion workshop, and soon turned into a market. He walked through several alleys at random, and after making sure that no one was following him, he found a secret place to change his clothes.

   Burned the stolen clothes, then bought some canned wine, and walked back to Fickichick's house with them.

   Seeing Mrs. Fekchik chatting happily with the coconut, Luke gave the wine he bought as a gift and returned to his room.

  Opened the window and looked at the situation outside.

   The Fickscheks' servants are getting ready for the evening pool party. I don’t know where Mrs. Fekchik heard that this social style is very popular in the world fashion. Around the swimming pool are four rows of barbecue grills. The freshly slaughtered fat cows are peeled and hung up, and the griller makes barbecue on the spot.

   There is also a lot of wine prepared. In the four corners of the swimming pool are placed a wine tank that is taller than a barbarian, and the tables around the wine tank are full of large oak wine glasses.

  Although Mrs. Fekchuk's pool party hasn't started yet, Luke can already imagine what the evening will be like.

   Looking outside, the entire holy mountain is very popular.

  The Army of the North stopped its attack and made many secret contacts with the Celtic Duke. The war was suspended, and people from the surrounding villages and towns flocked to the holy mountain to exchange supplies, which made the place appear prosperous.

  After admiring the scenery of the holy mountain for a while, the sudden message from his own spiritual universe made Luke immediately sink his consciousness into the spiritual universe, and then enter the spiritual starry sky.

  Under the starry sky is the projection of the world tree.

  Luke floated above the starry sky overlooking the World Tree.

  The new world tree has grown to a height of a thousand meters, and the huge crown is as majestic as a mountain. The essence of the starry sky converges towards the moon, forming a silver moonlight that shines on the World Tree, as if watering it.

   "The World Tree is really favored by the moon." Qingkong appeared beside Luke at some point, standing in the starry sky and looking at the thriving World Tree, just like looking at her own child.

Luke said: "The previous generation of World Tree was destroyed, and it can persist until it is resurrected without the protection of the moon. The new World Tree is also guarded by the moon throughout the process. I think it will grow into a greater existence than the previous generation of World Tree. .”

   Qing Kong looked at Luke: "Since you already have the World Tree, why are you still so obsessed with the abyss? Even if the missing artifact is left in the abyss, so what, the danger there is not worth the risk."

   "If the world tree is lost in the abyss?"

  Responding to Luke's rhetorical question, Qing Kong realized that he had indeed ignored this question: "Are you worried that if the World Tree is promoted to an artifact, it will be lost in the abyss like other artifacts?"

  Luke replied: "At the end of the ancient war, why the artifacts of the five ancient civilizations were lost is still an unsolved mystery. If the abyss swallows the artifacts, the World Tree will also face the danger of being swallowed when it is promoted to an artifact.

  Today, an abyss mage said to me: Fear comes from the unknown. We know that the power of the abyss is terrifying, but we don't know what its power is, and even the artifacts are covered by it. "

Qingkong suddenly floated in front of Luke, and said with watery eyes: "I am so touched! If the world tree is swallowed by the abyss, I will probably disappear along with it. You took such a big risk to investigate the abyss, but it was for me …

   How can I repay you? "

  Luke knew that Qingkong was about to lose his nerve again, so he said coldly, "Tell me all your little secrets."

   "Alas... It's disappointing to make such a request at this time." The clear sky drifted away: "The beauty you met in the Tedgar Hills has come to you, you should deal with her."

   There was a knock on the door.

  Luke was taken aback immediately. He withdrew his consciousness and found that it was already night outside the window. The sky was clear and cloudless, the stars all over the sky twinkled like eyes, and a crescent moon hung in the sky.

   Clear Sky said "I will watch you through the starry sky."

  Is it true?

  The door was knocked again, Luke no longer thought about it, and turned to open the door.

   Sure enough, it is coconut fruit.

  Luke waved his hand and summoned a wind to close the open window, and then asked Naco, "What's the matter?"

"The pool party has started, Mrs. Fekchik asked me to call you." Coconut said shyly, "I have never participated in this kind of party before. Mrs. Fickichek said that it is the most popular in Raging Waves now." Party. You can't teach me lest I make a fool of myself at a party."

   Luke replied: "Of course you need to wear a swimsuit at the pool party. Everyone swims and chats together."

   Naco asked curiously, "What kind of clothes is a swimsuit?"

Luke heard that the swimming pool was very lively, so he said to Coconut: "Swimsuits are clothes for swimming, but the pool party held by Mrs. Fickichek is different from what I know. Let's go and see it first." What are the people at the party doing?"

   "Okay, okay."

   Coconut was obviously a little afraid of this kind of "high party", and followed Luke step by step.

   After arriving at the swimming pool, Luke found that it was exactly as he had imagined.

  Obviously, the pool party that Mrs. Fickichek mentioned was a wine and meat party with the swimming pool as the background.

  The charcoal fire in the barbecue grill is strong, and the large skewers of beef on it "呵呵" are emitting attractive aroma and fat.

  The guests who came, held the barbecue in one hand and the wine glass full of spirits in the other, and took a sip of the meat and a sip of the wine. When drunk, they sang and danced loudly by the pool.

   It was just the arrival of Luke and Naco, which made the lively atmosphere suddenly quiet.

  Luke noticed at this moment that all the guests at this party were barbarians.

   Luke is a human being, and Naco belongs to a human with barbarian blood.

  Feeling hostility, Luke immediately remembered the information of the Fickichek family.

   Fekchik belongs to a large family of barbarians in the Holy Mountain... the Stone family. The history of the stubborn stone family is very old, and it belongs to the local snakes in the holy mountain. It can be said that when the Wanshi family settled in the holy mountain, there were not many humans in the entire Tedgar Hills.

  As a veteran family that settled in the Holy Mountain, the Stone Family has witnessed the arrival and prosperity of human beings. When dealing with the human race, I have suffered many times from the treacherous human race.

   Therefore, most of these ancient and huge barbarian families are very repulsive of humans. Human beings are generally rich, and barbarians are generally poor, which further deepens the contradiction.

   "Mrs. Fekchuk, are these two human beings your newly bought servants?" A barbarian who looked very well-known asked Mrs. Fekchuk.

"No, no, no..." Mrs. Fekchik, who was wearing heavy makeup and expensive fur, put down the meat in her hands, wiped the grease from her hands on the clothes, and then pulled Luke to introduce to the guests: "This is from Raging City. Mr. Luke the Adventurer, who brought me Fickchuk's letter.

  Your brother Fekchik has recently made another fortune. He plans to invest in the establishment of a shipping company and buy three new cargo ships, each with a load of 10,000 tons.

  The total investment needs about 600 million Reichsmarks..."

Mrs. Fickchek was very satisfied with the expressions of the family brothers at this time, and of course she did not forget to continue the introduction: "Mr. Luke is a B-rank adventurer, and the fee to invite him to complete the mission is very high. But your fee Brother Kechik paid a lot of money to hire Mr. Luke to come to the holy mountain so that the letter he wrote to me and the check to me could be delivered safely.

  Mr. Luke also lived up to the entrustment of your brothers Fickschek, and delivered the letter and check to me. Today I bought four stores in one go, and I am one step closer to becoming the person with the most stores in the Holy Mountain.

  That's why I held the pool party that is popular in Raging City, and I hope Mr. Luke feels like returning to Raging City. "

  Luke didn't know if Mrs. Fickichek was introducing herself or if she was taking the opportunity to show off her wealth, but it worked out pretty well.

Eating the meat of the Fekchik family, drinking the wine of the Fickchik family, and experiencing the world fashion of the Fickchik family, the Fickchik family invited two humans to the pool party, what else can you say? ?

  Of course, the barbarians didn't give Luke a good face because of this, they pretended not to see him, and continued to eat, drink and play.

  Mrs. Fickchek certainly knew the personality of the Rock family, she said to Luke: "A bunch of guys who have never seen the market, they will never understand how Fickchek made so much money.

   I'm really sorry, I don't have many friends in the human race. A few people were invited, but when they heard that these guys would come, they all said they couldn't come.

   If they bother you, please tell me immediately. "

  Luke said: "It's okay... I didn't expect to see such a pool party full of Raging City characteristics in the Holy Mountain. It really feels like going home."

   After receiving the compliment, Mrs. Fickchek immediately said happily: "This is fashion! I wish you a happy time at the pool party, and make this your home in Raging Waves City."

  Luke laughed.

   It is estimated that Fekchik would not dare to tell his wife what a pool party is in the letter. Beauty, swimsuits, strong hormones... are all taboos for family stability. It probably means a group of people drinking and eating around the pool.

  As a result...it became like this when I arrived at the holy mountain.

  Looking at a group of savage people singing and dancing around the swimming pool, Luke felt that such a party was quite interesting.

"Would you like to drink?" Coconut brought two large glasses of wine from the servant, and handed a glass to Luke: "Mrs. Fekchik is a good person. She said that she would issue a commission to my adventure group. Madam has so many shops, I will definitely need a lot of goods, and I will make a fortune!"

  Luke took the wine glass, and the middle of the large-caliber wine glass happened to reflect the moon in the sky.

   Drinking heavily, the alcohol is very strong.

   "Congratulations! Fekchik is a very powerful barbarian businessman. If you learn from him, you can really make a fortune."

   Coconut and Luke clinked glasses of wine: "Thank you too, without you, I would never have known Mrs. Fekchik anyway.

  Next, we will seriously prepare for the Hercules competition. I heard that because of the truce, many barbarians from far away also came to participate. The strength of the Hercules competition this time is very strong..."

   "I heard you right!" A barbarian passing by exclaimed loudly: "A human also wants to participate in the Hercules competition. I can break your thin arm with one finger."

   The barbarian's taunt made the other barbarians laugh.

  They have long been dissatisfied with the two humans who came to the barbarian party, and finally found an opportunity this time.

An obviously drunk barbarian staggered towards the coconut. He looked at the figure of the coconut and said disdainfully: "Although you have some barbarian blood, you are tall by the standards of human women, but You are not strong enough."

   Coco replied: "I'm sorry, it's not me who participated in the Hercules competition, but this Mr. Luke."

"What a human, a purebred human! Hahahahahaha... This is the funniest joke I've heard tonight. The Hercules competition is a contest between barbarians and barbarians. It's better for weak humans to stay away .”

  Luke put down his wine glass, and stretched out his hand to the drunken savage: "Who is the joke tonight, just compare and you will know."

  The barbarian looked at Luke's hand with disdain on his face. He stretched out his hand, which was wide, with thick and long fingers, covered with thick calluses, like an iron rake used by farmers.

  Compared with the hands of the barbarians, Luke's hands are extremely white, just like the craftsmen who make precision devices. It seems that if a barbarian grabs it casually, it will shatter like porcelain.

  Hearing that humans dared to take the initiative to invite battle, all the other barbarians surrounded them, as if they had heard humans screaming like pigs being killed.

  The drunk barbarian didn't even put down the wine glass in the other hand, he reached out and took Luke's hand, and then increased his strength at will.

  But he found himself holding a piece of iron.

   "You used magic..." the barbarian questioned. He looked down, but found that there was no sign of magic attached to the human hand.

   Am I drunk and not playing well?

  The barbarian increased his strength, but the feeling in his palm did not change at all.

  How could a human hand be so hard.

   Continue to increase force.

Luke looked at the blushing face of the barbarian and said with a smile: "Is this the strength? I don't think you are a barbarian. Last time a goblin shook my hand, I thought he was stronger than you .”

   "You, you, you wait..."

  The barbarian put down his wine glass and exerted all his strength. His face was swollen and purple, and he even let out a fart, but the other party still didn't respond.

   "Magic, you must have used magic!"
