CH.194 Rising to the Top?
The road up the mountain is full of checkpoints, and the guards are not the regular army of the Knicks Legion, but they are all neatly dressed and have the demeanor of a professional army, which is the strength of Fakare's private armed forces.
And even if the carriage we were riding in was not plated, it was like a token with the highest right of way, and the soldiers on the road gave way and saluted as soon as they saw the carriage.
The oversized motorhome drove all the way to the castle gates, and when we got out of the car, we suddenly felt a chill, after all, this is already close to the snowy area. The soldiers around me looked at me and Binglemon with expressionless faces, and did not move until they saw Sebrina jump out of the carriage and saluted neatly.
Originally, I thought that in such a luxurious castle, the red carpet and the huge self-portrait of the owner of the castle were indispensable. But I didn't expect it, but when we walked into the castle, it made my eyes shine, the most decoration in the castle is plants, some small flowers and plants are all over every corner of the hall, making the air in the castle fresher than outside.
In fact, it is not surprising that Mr. Farkare is the richest man after all, and when the money reaches a certain level, there will also be a sense of loneliness and loneliness, and they will no longer bother to buy all kinds of decorations and luxury goods that can be known to be expensive just by observing with the naked eye to reflect their price increase. This kind of people are most concerned about the low-carbon and green living environment.
Ice Lemon and I followed Serbrina closely, because it was easier to get lost in such a botanical garden-like castle, but I was too worried. From beginning to end, we walked up the stairs, up a spiral staircase, to a wooden door at the end of the stairs, and I realized that we didn't have to climb anymore because we had reached the top.
Behind the wooden door is the roof of the castle, and when the door is opened, the fragrance is instantly fragrant, making the original cool wind blowing on the body will also give people a refreshing feeling.
The whole rooftop is a flower garden, as many varieties as Echo Valley, and Sebrina said: "This is Mr. Farkare private garden, and it is rare for non-members of the Chamber of Commerce to have the opportunity to come to this place."
I nodded and said, "So where is Mr. Fakare?" β
Suddenly, a head poked out of a bush of flowers, and cried out, "Sebrina, is that you?" β
Sebrina replied, "Yes, I'm back, and I've brought with you the people you want to see." β
The man in the flowers stood up, and when I looked closely, I was not sure if this was the richest man in the Fars continent, FakarΓ©, because the man was thin and small, wearing a black suit, a white scarf, two mustaches on his lips, and a milky voice, like a magician.
The man beckoned to us and said, "Come here, don't stand there." β
Sebrina and the fellow who didn't know if it was Farkare led the two of us to sit down at a wooden table by the side of the flower garden, where a pot of hot tea was still steaming, and the "Farkare" took a few cups, poured tea for us, and said with a smile: "Come, drink some tea, this is a good tea flown in from the Emerald Basin." β
Such courtesy made me very embarrassed: "You're welcome, Fakare ...... First...... Mr. "I stammered, because I suddenly didn't know what to call him. Because I found out that this Fakkare looks white and tender, and it is estimated that he will be in his 30s when he dies, and if you remove those two beards, this is completely a woman's face, and more importantly, ...... The beard on his lips was still drawn with eyeliner.
It's rude to ask someone's age, but I can't just ask him about his gender, right? It feels like an insult.
Farkare smiled at me and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm a vegetarian and don't eat people." β
Just a smile made me even more unsure of Farkare's gender, but everyone called him sir, so I'll just call him that, I said, "Farkare...... Sheng, I don't know what you did to invite us here at a great cost, what are you for? β
Farkare was stunned for a moment and said, "Big price? No, for a VIP, this kind of hospitality is shabby! The world thinks I'm a businessman, and naturally thinks I'm a mercenary. But those who know me know that my business can get to where it is today not because I am focused on money, but because of my connections. So, I came to you just to make a friend. β
I nodded and said, "Then let me introduce myself...... My name is Tail Ring. β
Fakareh smiled: "Your name is Tail Ring, you are the number one mercenary, and this young lady is the number one player, Ice Lemon." I've already heard about the two of them, but I want you to know more about our chamber of commerce. β
At this point, it suddenly dawned on me that this Farkare might really want the two of us to join the Chamber of Commerce.
Fakareh said: "Make friends, the important thing is to be honest, so I don't hide it, there are thirteen evil stars in the legend, I am one of them, many people think that the special ability possessed by the evil star will one day be the fundamental reason for the destruction of this world, but I have achieved my career today with this kind of strength that ordinary people do not have." β
Farkare knows almost everything about us, he used to live in the slums of Aurora City, which is a dead end of law and order. In addition to the dirty and messy social environment, there is also a group of rats like street rats, but others see them as ruffians who dare not speak out. But the ruffians were afraid of one person, and that was the pain-sensational Fakkare.
Soon, Farkare became the leader of the ruffians, and because of this, he quickly became the most noteworthy figure of the year for the Knicks Legion. But to the surprise of the high-ranking officials of the Knicks Legion, Farkar led this group of ruffians to leave Aurora City, this group of young and strong-blooded ruffians with no place to spend their strength finally had a place to use, that is, to deal with monsters outside the city.
The level of monsters outside Aurora City is not very high, so as long as they don't provoke elite monsters, this group of ruffians can travel unhindered in the surrounding area. This is a kind of capital, and this group of ruffians is no longer idle street gangsters, but has a legitimate vocation, which is to escort the caravans of the city to the surrounding areas.
There is no such thing as a "dart game" in Kars, but this is exactly what they do. A group of ruffians slowly turned from street rats to heroes of this generation, because until then, the delivery of supplies to various places had always been a problem. can also get the support of others, and make money, and the group of gangsters is even more impressed by the five bodies of Fakari.
After the team had money in their hands, Fakaare made another decision, got rid of the limitations of the logistics company, and directly became the second-level sellers of all kinds of materials, the more money they made, the more people came to visit, more people, and the road to transport materials was safer, and in this way, the Chamber of Commerce of Fakare was officially established.
At the beginning, the Chamber of Commerce was a part of the ruffians in society, although they were all gangsters, but the quality was also uneven, but under the management of Farkare the Chamber of Commerce made good use of its "low quality", so that other competitors did not dare to provoke at will, and the cause became bigger and bigger.
When Sebrina joined the Chamber of Commerce, she provided a new route for Fakkare to use players to expand their market and open up new avenues for doing business. For a civilian NPC, it takes several years of experience to grow from chopping vegetables with a kitchen knife to cutting monsters with a knife, but for a warrior, it is just a matter of fingers.
Although many people in the Chamber of Commerce had previously questioned Sebrina, saying that it was too bullshitty for her to use the story in the prophecy as a plan for her operation, they didn't know that Serbrina was a mercenary, a bug that traveled from their future to their present. So, just as Serina expected, the players arrived as expected, and the Chamber of Commerce invited the players to join with all kinds of tempting conditions. The Fakkare Chamber of Commerce was pushed to the second peak.
After listening to Farkare family's history, my admiration for this man was spontaneous, many wealthy businessmen said that it is not difficult to make money, just like Farkare , because of the monster rampant traffic blocked by the key factor of his success, if it is in the high-speed network of the railway network all over the world, his business may not be so easy to succeed. It's called the times creating heroes.
But probably no one knows how hard it was for Farkare to take a group of ruffians to open the first path, which many people could not stand.
While admiring, I have also been researching...... Is Farkare male or female......
"As a star, I may have been created by a god by a mistake, and in the eyes of others, I am a hero created by the times, so I have never felt how successful I am, what I am doing now...... It's to create a new situation. β
The new trend? This Mr. Farkare is not going to overthrow the Knicks Legion himself to rule the Kars continent, right?
Farkare looked at my stunned expression and said with a smile: "Ha Luha, my words may have misunderstood you, I have no interest in such things as rights, as you can see, I am more interested in these flowers and plants, in other words, it should be called enjoying life...... So, I also love the place where I live, and if someone wants to destroy the land, I will definitely not sit idly by! β
I said, "I seem to understand what you mean, but I'm not sure, do you want to ......?"
Farkare nodded and said, "You guessed it, I brought you here to see if you have the ability to serve as the commander of my Snowy Pacification Legion!" β
Sebrina exclaimed, "Mr. Fakare, you want to send someone from the Chamber of Commerce to assist the Knicks Legion?" β
Fakareh said with a smile: "The previous leader of the Black Flame Thieves Group also fell into the hands of the Knicks Legion because of an accident, this time the new leader seems to be out of the blue, and this time it is obviously inappropriate to rely on the group of people who are used to eating public meals in the Knicks Legion."
I said, "Mr. Farkare ...... You may ...... Overestimating me, right? β
Fakare said: "From your information, you have grown faster than all mercenaries and all warriors, and I am not the only one who thinks you have this ability, and someone has recommended you to me. β
I wondered, "Who?" β
