Chapter 147: Integration (I)
Ten days later, the gates of Ark's castle opened, and many mercenaries stood respectfully outside the castle gates, dressed in full costume to greet the incoming distinguished guests. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is the first time that Yak has taken the initiative to hold an exchange meeting, but he has also participated in the exchange meeting, so he naturally knows how to hold the exchange meeting, and with his current status, there is no need to hide it anymore. So, he simply greeted the upcoming VIPs openly.
The first carriage arrived outside the castle, and then an old man got out of the carriage, and he looked up at the castle with some complexity in his eyes.
Subsequently, the old man handed over the invitation and also reported his identity, and it was Mr. Mercury!
The mercenaries dressed in full costume immediately respectfully led Mr. Mercury into the castle hall, and at this time there was only Ark in the hall, and when he saw Mr. Mercury coming, Ark also stood up to greet him.
"Mr. Mercury, welcome to my castle. ”
This Mr. Mercury can be regarded as a great help to Ark, when he first arrived in the royal capital, Mr. Mercury helped Ark enter the circle, in the circle, Ark met Spark and Ukas, which led to a series of later events.
Therefore, Ark is also more grateful to Mr. Mercury, this time he presided over the exchange meeting, and the first invitation was sent to Mr. Mercury.
"Viscount Ark, I really didn't expect that in just two years, you have developed the Potion Workshop and the Mercenary Group to such a large scale, and you have gained a firm foothold in the Principality of Fenan and even the Twelve Kingdoms Alliance, it's really incredible. If Cologne were still around, you would be glad about what you have achieved. ”
Mr. Mercury had to sigh, when Ark first came to the royal capital two years ago, he still looked like he was fleeing, and he couldn't even gain a foothold in the royal capital, who would have thought that Ark could develop to such a point in just two years?
Stepping into the upper echelons of the Twelve Kingdoms, all of this seemed like a dream, and Mr. Mercury felt a little unreal.
However, looking at the magnificent and huge castle that has been rebuilt, and the elite mercenaries, Ark is indeed no longer the slightly young boy he was two years ago.
Ark smiled and said, "Thanks to Mr. Mercury's help at the beginning, if it weren't for Mr. Mercury's help at the beginning, where would I be where I am today?"
"Ark, did you really become a spellcaster?"
Mr. Mercury paused, seeming a little hesitant, but finally couldn't help but ask. Recently, there has been a lot of rumors outside, almost making people believe it, but Mr. Mercury still seems to be a little unbelievable. He has been following the caster all his life, but he has not been able to find any trace of the caster, how can Ark and Spark become spellcasters?
Ark smiled slightly, but did not answer directly.
At this time, several distinguished guests entered outside the gate one after another, namely the Earl of the Golden Gun, Mr. Fenner and others, all of whom had been seen by Ark in the last exchange meeting.
Ark also stood up and said, "Count of the Golden Gun, Mr. Fenner, welcome to my castle for the exchange meeting. ”
The Earl of the Golden Gun has the highest status among these people, and can even be called prominent, but after he saw Ark, his face looked very complicated, maybe others don't know, but as the former helmsman of the God of War family in the Principality of Fennan, how could he not have his own unique news channel?
What Ark and Spark did, the Earl of the Golden Gun basically investigated clearly, he really didn't expect that he was just an observer member of the exchange meeting at the beginning, and he would do such an earth-shattering thing.
And now the forces around Ark are also developing rapidly, with Ark as the center, a huge force like a giant has risen rapidly. This faction has financial resources, a large armed force, and is only loyal to Ark or those close to him. What's the difference between this and a kingdom?
In fact, not only the Earl of the Golden Gun can see Ark's ambitions, but many other discerning people can see Ark's ambitions, and Ark clearly wants to create a huge force that is beyond the Alliance of the Twelve Kingdoms and the Wesk Empire, and is not subject to any kingdom or power.
At present, Ark's potion workshop and mercenary group have faintly formed the prototype of such a transcendent force, and as long as it continues to develop in the future, it will one day develop into a behemoth, beyond any kingdom.
This is simply a living legend, because no force has ever been able to transcend the power of the kingdom, whether it is the Chamber of Commerce, the mercenary organization, or even the underground world, etc., no matter how powerful it is, it cannot compete with a real kingdom.
But Ark seemed to be on the verge of doing it.
In addition to the shock of the Earl of the Golden Gun, the others were curious about Ark, after all, they had heard some rumors from the outside world, but they couldn't believe it. But the rumors seem to be very true, and they can't help but believe it.
This is an opportunity, and Ark personally organizes the exchange meeting, and perhaps the doubts in their hearts can be answered at this exchange meeting.
Then there were people coming one after another, all of whom Ark had never met, and the few exchange meetings that Ark had attended, none of these people came.
And this time, no matter how busy they were, no matter how far away they were, they rushed back. After all, who can join the exchange meeting, which one is an ordinary person?
Each of these people has a prominent status or a large network, and Ark now wields extraordinary influence in the Duchy of Finan, and even in the entire Twelve Kingdoms Alliance. Normally, it would be difficult for them to meet Ark, let alone invite them personally this time, so they didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
There were already fifteen people in the hall plus Ark, and the last one had not arrived, and Ark was sure that person would come.
"Whoosh".
Suddenly, a figure rushed in from outside the hall, like a shadow, making everyone's hearts skip a beat. A smile appeared on Ark's face.
"Spark, I'm waiting for you. ”
The last person was naturally Spark, who glanced indifferently at the people in the hall and then found a place to sit down. Even after becoming a spellcaster, he still walks alone. Except for Ark, I'm afraid Spark won't pay attention to anyone.
"Okay, everyone is here, and I will host this exchange meeting. ”
Ark glanced at the crowd and smiled.
"I'm sure you're here because you're curious about me and Spark, you've been looking for clues about the caster all your life, and you're sure you'll have questions in your heart, do the casters exist?"
Ark's gaze seemed to be able to perceive people's hearts, and everyone's faces showed a hint of anticipation wherever he looked. (To be continued.) )
