Chapter 100 Xia Lian

"Is Lady Xia Lian looking for me?" Shi Feng had a vague feeling of foreboding.

He knew Xia Lian's personality very well.

She was definitely someone who wouldn't get up early without some benefit. He wondered what she had her eyes on this time.

"Oh well, I might as well go take a look." Shi Feng thought for a moment. Although Xia Lian was all about the money, he always gained something from her. Maybe she would give him some high-level quest. If the quest rewards were good, he could consider doing it.

However, the fact that the Star Observation Tower was in Blackwing City puzzled Shi Feng. When did Xia Lian go to Blackwing City?

If he didn't know the location of the Star Observation Tower, he probably wouldn't be able to find Xia Lian even if he searched all over White River City. Moreover, going to Blackwing City wasn't easy. Without a Blackwing Pass, you couldn't go at all.

It could be said that seeing Xia Lian wasn't that easy.

But it was still very easy for Shi Feng to go to Blackwing City. Although he had already used up all the uses of his Blackwing Pass, Aqua Rose still had some.

"I should wait a while before going to see Xia Lian." Based on his many years of experience in conquering God's Domain, Shi Feng knew that any task that could happen in Blackwing City was definitely not simple. He still had a lot of things to do, so he would put it off for now.

After leaving the City Hall, Shi Feng called Aqua Rose and Fire Dance and went to the Ziyang Ancient Mansion in the trade district of White River City.

The Ziyang Ancient Mansion was originally the residence of an earl, but this earl mysteriously disappeared from the Ziyang Ancient Mansion fifty years ago. In the following ten years or so, every owner of the mansion mysteriously disappeared overnight. However, this matter was never resolved nor was an answer found. Eventually, it was dropped, so more than ten years ago, this ancient mansion was sealed off and guarded by the Defense Army to prevent accidents.

Because it was the residence of an earl, the area it occupied was naturally considerable. It could be said to be one of the largest residences in the trade district of White River City. Even if Shi Feng was a viscount of White River City, the private land he could buy was probably less than a third of the size of the Ziyang Ancient Mansion.

"Guild Leader, what are you bringing us to this abandoned house for?" Aqua Rose looked at the dilapidated mansion guarded by eight Defense Army soldiers in the distance and felt very strange.

Now that the guild had just obtained the first clear of the Hell Mode of the Demon Castle, many players were coming to the guild, wanting to join. Aqua Rose was extremely busy.

Although Blackie was also a manager, Blackie mainly managed the studio's affairs. The guild was managed by Aqua Rose, and the main force was led by Fire Dance. Each had their own responsibilities, but the management of the guild was the most troublesome.

Zero Wing Guild had only been established recently, and there were many management problems, as well as insufficient benefits, so it couldn't accommodate too many people. Therefore, they could only carefully select. Since it was a careful selection, of course it wasn't just about having a high level, but judging from their skills. So, the selection was very time-consuming and laborious. In addition, there were daily affairs to manage, so it could be said that Aqua Rose was extremely busy.

If Shi Feng hadn't called Aqua Rose over, she would probably still be busy recruiting people.

"What do you think of this ancient mansion?" Shi Feng asked with a smile.

"What do I think?" Aqua Rose carefully sized up the Ziyang Ancient Mansion.

Even though God's Domain was still in broad daylight, with the sun shining brightly, the Ziyang Ancient Mansion was filled with a chilling aura, making it feel very strange. However, this ancient mansion occupied a very large area and was in the central area of White River City, so it was definitely a feng shui treasure.

"Although it's dilapidated, this location is very good. It's less than two blocks west of the White River City Bank and Auction House, and three blocks east of the Adventurers Association. There are only five such good locations in the entire White River City. Four of them are occupied by great nobles, and this is the only one that's empty. Among these five residences, this one has the largest area. It's a pity that it's always been guarded by the Defense Army and is not for sale."

"If we could establish a guild residence here, it would be of great benefit to the guild's future development."

Aqua Rose spoke eloquently, being extremely familiar with the real estate in White River City. Seeing this ancient mansion, she was very envious, but since she couldn't get it, it was useless.

Not to mention this private territory in the trade district, even the private territories on the outermost edge of White River City were beyond their reach.

"Indeed, this Ziyang Ancient Mansion is the only best residence in White River City." Shi Feng nodded and said with a light smile, "But from today onwards, this Ziyang Ancient Mansion will belong to our Zero Wing."

After Shi Feng finished speaking, Aqua Rose and Fire Dance were stunned on the spot, looking at Shi Feng in disbelief.

"Guild Leader, what did you say?" Aqua Rose couldn't believe what she had heard.

This feng shui treasure would belong to Zero Wing in the future.

No matter how she thought about it, such a thing couldn't possibly happen.

"This Ziyang Ancient Mansion will be our Zero Wing Guild's residence in the future." Shi Feng said with a smile.

"Guild Leader, don't joke around. Not to mention now, even if we wait another month, it's impossible to get such a feng shui treasure." Aqua Rose knew a lot about guild residences. Now, not a single guild in White River City owned a guild residence, but now Zero Wing could own such a feng shui treasure. This was even more shocking and unacceptable than Zero Wing taking the first clear of the three great dungeons on Hell Mode.

"I knew you wouldn't believe me, so I came to find you to take a look." Shi Feng shook his head and chuckled.

If Zero Wing wanted to develop rapidly, a guild residence was a must. As the guild's manager, Shi Feng naturally wanted Aqua Rose to come and take a look and make future plans for the guild in advance.

After all, obtaining a guild residence was one thing, and establishing a guild residence was another. It was always good to plan early.

The three of them came to the iron gate of the Ziyang Ancient Mansion. A captain of the Defense Army walked over and suddenly stopped them.

"This is a forbidden area in White River City. Please leave, idlers." The captain of the Defense Army reprimanded.

"Doesn't that even include me?" Shi Feng revealed his viscount title of White River City.

"So it's Viscount-sama. I was blind and didn't recognize Mount Tai. However, this is an order personally issued by Governor Whitman. Even Viscount-sama, you can't enter." The captain of the Defense Army suddenly became respectful.

"Then what about this?" Shi Feng also took out the Black Iron Contract.

The captain of the Defense Army was shocked after seeing it.

This was the land deed for the Ziyang Ancient Mansion. From this moment on, the Ziyang Ancient Mansion was the private territory of the viscount in front of him.

"Since Viscount-sama is already the owner here, this humble officer naturally won't stop you," the captain of the Defense Army said cautiously. "However, this Ziyang Ancient Mansion is very strange. If you want to go in, please be careful."

"I understand." Shi Feng nodded.

Then the eight members of the Defense Army opened the gate, and Shi Feng and the other two walked in.

Aqua Rose and Fire Dance were shocked again and again. Shi Feng was actually a viscount of White River City.

Titles were not levels. You couldn't just be promoted if you wanted to. It required a lot of reputation. All the guilds in White River City were busy increasing their reputation in White River City, but until now, there was no one who had a title, except for nobles.

And titles were divided into five classes: duke, marquis, earl, viscount, and baron. Just becoming a baron was enough to make all the guilds in White River City look up in admiration, not to mention the higher-level viscount.
