The man with the scarred face smiled and showed his big yellow teeth. He shook the gold coupon in his hand and said to Luke: "Sir, I don't understand this kind of national affairs, but I know that whoever is rich will be powerful.

Tedga Hills is definitely not as rich as the Empire, and the Northern Army is not as rich as Raging Waves City. I heard that the barbarian Fekchik did business in Raging Waves City, and in just two years he became the second richest man in the entire Holy Mountain.

people."

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

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

Luke left the Scarface Man's black potion workshop and quickly turned into a market. He randomly passed through several alleys, and after making sure that no one was following him, he found a private place to change his clothes.

He burned the stolen clothes, bought some cans of wine, and carried them back to Fekchik's house.

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

I opened the window and took a look at the situation outside.

The servants of the Fekchik family are preparing for the pool party in the evening. I don’t know where Mrs. Fekchik heard that this social method is very popular in the world. There are four rows of barbecue grills surrounding the swimming pool. Now kill

The fat beef is skinned and hung up, and the barbecue chef prepares the barbecue on the spot.

There was also a lot of wine prepared. There were wine tanks taller than the barbarians placed at the four corners of the swimming pool. The table surrounding the wine tanks was filled with large oak wine glasses.

Although Mrs. Fekchik's pool party hadn't started yet, Luke could already picture what the evening would be like.

Looking outside, the entire holy mountain looks very popular.

The Northern Legion stopped attacking and had many secret contacts with the Celtic Duke. The war was suspended, and people from surrounding villages and towns flocked to the Holy Mountain to exchange supplies, giving the place a sense of prosperity.

After admiring the scenery of the Holy Mountain for a while, a message suddenly came from his spiritual universe, causing Luke to 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 floats above the stars, overlooking the World Tree.

The newly born World Tree has grown to a thousand meters high, and its huge crown is as majestic as a mountain peak. The essence of the starry sky converges towards the moon, forming silver moonlight that shines on the World Tree, as if it is watering it.

"The World Tree is really favored by the moon." Qingkong appeared beside Luke at some point. She stood in the starry sky and looked at the thriving World Tree, as if she were looking at her own child.

Luke said: "The previous generation of World Tree was destroyed, and it was able to persist until its resurrection. It was inseparable from the protection of the moon. The new World Tree was protected by the moon throughout the process. I think it will grow into a greater existence than the previous generation of World Tree.

.”

Qingkong looked at Luke: "Since you already own the World Tree, why are you still so persistent in the abyss? So what if the missing artifact is left in the abyss? The danger there is not worth the risk."

"If the World Tree is lost in the abyss, where is it?"

In response to Luke's rhetorical question, Qingkong found 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: "Why the artifacts of the five ancient civilizations were lost at the end of the ancient war is still an unsolvable mystery. If the abyss swallowed the artifacts, the World Tree would also be in danger of being swallowed if it was 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 very terrifying, but we don’t know what its power is. Even artifacts are blocked by it."

Qingkong suddenly floated in front of Luke and said with wide eyes: "I'm so touched! If the World Tree is swallowed by the abyss, I will probably disappear with it. You took such a big risk to investigate the abyss, but it was for me.

…

How can I repay you?"

Luke knew Qingkong was going crazy again, so he said coldly: "Tell me all your little secrets."

"Sigh... It's very disappointing to make such a request at this time." Qingkong drifted away: "The beauty you met in Tedga Hills is here to see you, you should just deal with her."

A knock on the door rang in my ears.

Luke was immediately shocked. He regained consciousness and found that it was already night outside the window. The sky was clear and cloudless, the stars in the sky shone like eyes, and a crescent moon hung in the sky.

Qingkong said, "I will watch you through the stars."

Is it true?

There was a knock on the door again. Luke no longer thought about it and turned to open the door.

Sure enough, it's coconut.

Luke waved his hand to summon a blast of wind to close the open window, and then asked Coconut: "What's the matter?"

"The pool party has started, and Mrs. Fekchik asked me to call you." Coconut said sheepishly: "I have never attended such a party before. Mrs. Fekchik said this is the most popular party in Raging Waves City now.

Party. You can’t teach me, lest I make a fool of myself at the party.”

Luke replied: "Of course you need to wear swimsuits at the pool party. Let's swim and chat together."

Coconut asked out of curiosity: "What kind of clothing is a swimsuit?"

When Luke heard that the swimming pool was very lively, he said to Coconut: "Swimsuits are clothes worn when swimming. It's just that the pool party hosted by Mrs. Fekchik is different from what I know. Let's go and join in first."

What are the people at the party doing?"

"Okay, okay."

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

When he arrived at the swimming pool, Luke found that it was exactly as he imagined.

Obviously the pool party Mrs. Fekchik was talking about was a party of wine and food with the swimming pool as the background.

The charcoal fire in the barbecue is strong, and the large skewers of beef "sizzling" on top are emitting fragrant and attractive fat.

The arriving guests held barbecues in one hand and glasses filled with spirits in one hand, sipping meat and wine. When they were happy, they sang and danced loudly by the pool.

However, the arrival of Luke and Coconut made the lively atmosphere suddenly quiet.

Only then did Luke notice that all the guests at this party were barbarians.

Luke is a human being, and Coconut belongs to humans with savage ancestry.

Feeling the hostility, Luke immediately recalled the information about the Fekchik family.

Fekchik belongs to a large barbarian family in the Holy Mountain...the Nashi family. The Nashi family has a very ancient history. They are the most local snakes in the Holy Mountain. It can be said that when the Nashi family settled in the Holy Mountain, the entire special

There are very few humans in the Degas Hills.

As an old family that settled in the Holy Mountain, the Nushi Family has witnessed the arrival and prosperity of humans. When dealing with humans, they have suffered many losses from cunning humans.

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

"Mrs. Fekchik, are these two human beings your newly purchased servants?" A barbarian who looked very distinguished asked Mrs. Fekchik.

"No, no, no..." Mrs. Fekchik, who was wearing heavy makeup and expensive furs, put down the meat in her hands, wiped the grease from her hands on her clothes, and then took Luke to introduce to the guests: "This is from Raging Wave City.

Mr. Luke, the adventurer, brought me Fekchik's letter.

Your Fekchik brother recently made another fortune. He is planning to invest in a shipping company and buy three new cargo ships, each with a carrying capacity of 10,000 tons.

The total investment requires approximately 600 million Reichsmarks..."

Mrs. Fekchik 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-level adventurer. The cost of inviting him to complete the mission is very high. But your fee

Brother Kechik spent 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 trust of you Fekchik brothers 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 organized the swimming pool party that’s popular in Raging Waves City, hoping that Mr. Luke will feel like he’s back in Raging Waves City.”

Luke didn't know whether Mrs. Fekchik was introducing herself or taking the opportunity to show off her wealth, but the effect was pretty good.

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

?

Of course, the barbarians did not give Luke a good look because of this. They pretended not to see him and continued to eat, drink and have fun.

Mrs. Fekchik certainly knew the personality of the Nugget family. She said to Luke: "A bunch of guys who have never seen the market will never understand how Fekchik made so much money.

I'm really sorry, I don't have many human friends. I invited a few, but when they heard that these guys would come, they all said they couldn't come.

If they give you trouble, please tell me immediately."

Luke said: "It doesn't matter... I didn't expect to see such a swimming pool party with the characteristics of Raging Waves City in the Holy Mountain. It really feels like going home."

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

Luke laughed.

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

.

As a result...it looked like this when we arrived at the Holy Mountain.

Looking at a group of wild people singing and dancing around the swimming pool, Luke thought this kind of party was quite interesting.

"Would you like to drink?" Coconut brought two large glasses of wine from the servant and handed one to Luke: "Mrs. Fekchik is a good person. She said she would issue a commission to my adventure group. Madam has so many shops.

I will definitely need a lot of goods, I’m going to make a fortune!”

Luke took the wine glass, and the moon in the sky was reflected in the middle of the large-diameter wine glass.

Drinking heavily, the wine 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 their wine glasses: "Thank you too. Without you, I would never have known Mrs. Fekchik.

Next, we have to prepare carefully for the Strongman Competition. I heard that because of the armistice, many barbarians from far away came to participate. The contestants in this Strongman Competition are very strong..."

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

The barbarian's taunt caused the other barbarians to laugh.

They had long been dissatisfied with the two humans who came to attend the barbarian gathering, and this time they finally found an opportunity.

An obviously drunk barbarian staggered towards Coconut Guo. He looked at Coconut Guo's body shape and said disdainfully: "Although you have part of the barbarian blood, by the standards of human women, you are very tall, but

You are not strong enough."

Coconut replied: "I'm sorry, it's not me participating in the Strongman competition, it's Mr. Luke."

"What a human being, a pure human being! Hahahahahaha... This is the funniest joke I heard tonight. The Strongman competition is a contest between barbarians and barbarians. Weak humans should stay away from each other.

good."

Luke put down his glass and stretched out his hand to the drunken barbarian: "You will know who is the joke tonight. Let's compare."

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

Compared with the hands of the barbarians, Luke's hands were extremely white, like those of a craftsman making precision devices. It seemed that if a barbarian casually grabbed them, they would break like porcelain.

Hearing that humans dared to actively invite a fight, the other barbarians all gathered around. They seemed to have heard humans screaming like pigs.

The drunken barbarian didn't even put down the wine glass in his other hand. He stretched out his hand to hold Luke's hand, and then increased his strength at will.

But he found that he was holding an iron block.

"You used magic..." the barbarian asked. He looked down and found that there was no sign of magic attached to human hands.

Am I drunk and not performing well?

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

How can a human hand be so hard?

Keep working hard.

Luke looked at the barbarian's blushing face and said with a smile: "Is this your strength? I don't think you are a barbarian. The last time a goblin shook hands with me, I thought he was stronger than you.

.”

"You, you, you wait..."

The barbarian put down the wine glass and used all his strength. His face was swollen and turned purple, and he even breathed a fart, but there was still no reaction from the other party.

"Magic, you must have used magic!"
