  Chapter 416 Holy Mountain

  The 100 million Reichsmark aroused the fantasy of Coconut. That is money that can buy a lot of things. Although I don’t know how much it is, it can probably buy the entire town of Southampton.

  Luke put the egg of Nirvana in his satchel.

   "I'm just talking, the most important rule for adventurers is credit. When I arrive at the Blood Oath Temple, I will give it to the task entruster, and then leave with the money."

   "Don't forget, there is also the Hercules competition." Coco is thinking about this event. She believes that Luke has the ability to compete for the championship.

   "Yes, there is also a Hercules competition."

  At this time Luke has some interest in the Hercules game.

  The savages' worship of power gave the Hercules competition a different meaning in the Tedgar Hills. Excellent strongmen are sought after like stars and have a superior status.

  In the past, Luke didn't feel that the power brought by his blood could compete with powerful barbarians, but now it's different.

  Nacco's strength training allowed Luke to tap his own strength, and the effect was very significant. According to Luke's understanding of the barbarian's extreme strength, it should be no problem for him to get a high ranking in the Hercules competition.

  If you can grab the championship belt, many things will be very convenient to do.

  In the days that followed, Luke took the initiative to receive training more actively. The kind of all-out energy made Coco even afraid that he would train himself. And Luke relied on the strong recovery ability of his bloodline to turn himself into a training machine, spending all his time on training except eating and sleeping.

  The effect of the training is remarkable. Luke used to feel that he was very powerful. When he approached the Blood Oath Temple, he no longer felt much about power.

  Everything is done with ease.

  The holy mountain of the barbarians is far away.

  The Blood Oath Temple was built on the holy mountain. It was the totem in the hearts of the barbarians. They believed that their ancestors once gathered on the holy mountain to swear a blood oath of honor and disgrace.

  The temple is located on the top of the holy mountain. Generations of pilgrims have built a city on the top of the holy mountain. The Holy Mountain is both a mountain and a city, and the city is also a temple, the capital of the Tedgar Hills.

  Luke did his homework on the situation here before coming to the Tedgar Hills.

  The current ruler of the Holy Mountain is the Celtic Grand Duke. He is not only the leader promoted by the barbarians, but also the unified co-lord of the Tedgar nobles.

  The Tedgar Hills are not only barbarians, the human race occupies a very large proportion here. In the aristocratic system under the Duke of Celtic, the human aristocrats have considerable influence. Especially in the civil service system, the human race occupies many important positions by virtue of its own racial characteristics.

   It's just that the Tedgar Hills are dominated by barbarians after all. The barbarians firmly control the army and all violent institutions. The human race can only involve in the civil service system that is not taken seriously.

  Another interesting phenomenon is that because the Celtic Duke attaches great importance to the Temple of the Abyss, the nobles and bureaucrats of the human race are generally closer to the Temple of the Abyss than most barbarians.

  Luke followed the coconut's adventure team into the mountain city.

  The architecture of the mountain city is full of barbarian rough style. All the houses are made of local materials, and the stone does not need to be finely polished, so the walls are full of irregular edges and corners. Most of the buildings here are excavated mountains, and even some streets are excavated tunnels.

  The people in the Tedgar Hills are martial, and almost everyone carries a weapon. Most of the savages have bare shoulders, and their large muscles are tattooed with patterns representing ancestors and tribes. Most of the weapons are two-handed epee or mace, and they rarely wear protective gear.

   Humans are also taller and stronger than humans in other places, and humans with barbarian blood have a high proportion.

  The Coconut Adventure Group was dressed in the style of the southern coast and carried so many goods, so they were surrounded by a group of businessmen as soon as they entered the city.

   Some even set out to see what the pack beasts were pulling.

   Coconut opened one's hand and directed the team members to protect the beast of burden. If someone robs the goods here, they will find nowhere to look for them if they dig into the complicated roads of the city.

   "Hey, you all be honest!" Coconut pulled out the dagger and held it in his hand, and shouted to the people around: "This batch of goods is what Master Sergey wants. If you don't want to cause trouble, stay away!"

  When the restless crowd heard the name of Master Sergey, they immediately withdrew their hands that wanted to look through the goods, and then left quickly.

  The goods are safe, Coconut asked Luke: "We will go to Master Sergey's shop to hand over the goods. Will you go with us, or complete your employer's commission?"

  Luke said: "I'll go to Mr. Fickichick's home, give his family letter to his family, and then see what I need to take away."

   Coconut said: "Okay, we are separated here. When you finish your work, you can find us at the Rust Tavern. Every time you come to the Holy Mountain, we will live there."

   "Then see you at the Rust Tavern."

  Luke bid farewell to the Coco's adventure group, and rode a horse to find the address to Fekchik's home.

  The barbarian businessman Fekchik was not someone Luke made up. He ran a trading company with good profits in Raging City, and made a lot of money following the economic tide of Raging City. Later, Iscoran found him, so he became a business intelligence officer for the service of the Reform Agency.

  This time, Fekchik issued a mission in the Adventurer's Association at the request of Viscount Iskran. Bringing a family heirloom from the holy mountain to Raging Waves City, he wanted to mortgage the heirloom, and then make a venture capital investment with a very rich return.

  According to the address, Luke found Fekchik's home with ease.

  A very luxurious residence.

   In front is a three-story main building with a large swimming pool in the courtyard. The overall design has the villa style of Raging Wave City, which is a very unconventional existence in the Holy Mountain.

  The main building is embedded in the mountain, so there should be a lot of space inside.

  Luke expressed his intention to come, and was warmly invited to the main hall by the human butler.

  The interior decoration of the house is the fusion of the characteristics of the Tedgar Hills and the city of Raging Waves. There are not only stuffed beasts showing the bravery of the owner, but also stylish clocks and exquisite wine cabinets.

   Soon, Luke met the hostess, Mrs. Fickichick.

  She's a strong female barbarian, but in fashionable women's clothing mailed from Rough Waves. Although it was already the largest size that could be found, it was still worn by Mrs. Fickichek like a corset. And she was wearing heavy makeup, thick powder on her dark brown skin, extremely dark eyeliner, and lipstick as if she just ate someone.

   Scared Luke almost set fire to the monster that appeared out of nowhere.

   "Mr. Luke, hello, please sit down." Mrs. Fickichek warmly invited Luke to sit down, and then began to ask various questions...

   How is Fekchik's business in Raging City?

  What kind of clothing is popular in Raging City now?

  Have any women seduced Fekchik?

  Is his secretary still that shrewd old man?

  …

  Luke helplessly stopped Mrs. Fickichek's inquiry: "I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm just an adventurer, and I happened to accept Mr. Fickichick's entrustment. I don't know much about his current life...

  Here is a letter from Mr. Fekchik to you, and there is a check from the World Bank. "

   "It's great that Fekchik asked you to bring the money back!" Upon hearing the check from the World Bank, Mrs. Fickichek immediately stopped asking. She took the letter and the check from Luke, and complained as she read it: "Fekchik made a lot of money outside, which made many people jealous. I donated a large sum of money to the temple to make the front of the gate quiet.

  I took a fancy to a workshop yesterday, and I happened to be short of money to buy it..."

  When Mrs. Fickichick stopped nagging immediately after reading the letter, she asked Luke in a low voice: "Does Fickichick really want you to take that thing to Raging City?"

  Luke took out his ID and handed it to Mrs. Fickichick: "I am a registered B-level adventurer of the Adventurer's Association, and things that require my level of protection must be very valuable.

   It's up to you, ma'am, whether you want me to take the things to Mr. Fickichick! "

   "I need time to think about it." Mrs. Fickichek didn't immediately agree, obviously what Fickichek wanted was really important. She asked Luke, "Can you wait for me at the Holy Mountain for a while?"

  Luke replied: "Of course, I still have a few commissions to complete in the Holy Mountain. Mr. Fickichek didn't set an exact mission time, and I think he wanted you to fully consider it.

   After all, investment is risky. "

"Yes, yes, yes..." Mrs. Fekchik nodded again and again: "Investment is risky and must be carefully considered. During this period of time, you can live here. The war has blocked the Tedgar Hills, and I have been there for a long time I haven’t heard any news about Raging City, which makes me a bit out of touch with the world’s fashion industry. If you stay here and talk to me about Raging City, I’ll pay for your food and lodging.”

   Talking about fashion with a fashionable lady like Mrs. Fickchuk, Luke thinks it's better not to live here.

   "Ma'am, I made an appointment with some friends to live in the Rust Tavern..."

   Before Luke could finish speaking, Mrs. Fickchek shouted loudly: "Is the Rust Tavern a place where people live? The food there is only eaten by livestock.

  Mr. Luke’s friends must all be in the fashion circle, let them all come to live with me. Tonight, I'm throwing a pool party! "

  Mrs. Fickchek called the housekeeper and asked him to take Luke to choose a room.

   Savages are passionate!

   The kindness is hard to turn down, so Luke had to live in Fekchik's house. Opening the window is the big swimming pool, and outside is the stepped city, with excellent views and scenery, definitely more comfortable than staying in that unknown tavern.

   Before taking a look at the scenery, Mrs. Fickichek asked Luke to discuss fashion, and Luke ran out on the pretext of having an appointment with a friend.

  Although the Rust Tavern is not as bad as Mrs. Fickichick said, the environment is indeed bad.

  The war and the blockade caused a shortage of supplies in the holy mountain, and the glass of wine Luke ordered had only a very weak taste.

   Coconut has already handed over the goods, the freight, entrusted tasks to do along the way, and Luke gave her a guide fee, which made her a good fortune on this trip to the holy mountain.

"If you can get a high ranking in the Hercules competition, you can buy a small shop in the holy mountain with your prize money and the money I saved. When I go to Southampton Town to pick up the transportation commission later , I can piggyback something for myself.

   A good life is waiting for me. "

  Imagination about the future makes Ye Guo very happy. It is all her dreams to open a store in the holy mountain.

  Luke told Coconut that Mrs. Fikechick invited them to live in her house.

"Mrs. Fekchik!" The savage bartender who was pouring wine for the coconuts said loudly after hearing Mrs. Fickichek's name, "It's Mrs. Fickichek who bought a whole street of shops this year. ?"

  Luke then took out a banknote and handed it to the bartender: "Tell me about Mrs. Fickichick."

   The bartender seldom sees such a big tip, and immediately introduces Luke to the biggest upstart in the Holy Mountain in the past two years... Mrs. Fickichick.

  Mr. Fickichek did business outside, made a lot of money, and sent a lot of money back.

  Mrs. Fickchek doesn't have many hobbies. One is to pursue world fashion, and the other is to buy shops.

happy New Year!
