For Fangzheng, there was nothing much to say in a duel with a Lightsaber. Who cared if the opponent was a Lightsaber or a Sword Saint? He could kill them all with a single slash. Of course, if the opponent was a cute and beautiful girl like Silver, Fangzheng would not mind giving her a few pointers, but a middle-aged greasy man …. Fangzheng only wanted to slash him, not talk to him.
After returning to the hotel, the girls were tired and went to rest. Fangzheng turned on his personal terminal and contacted Li Xuelu, who was far away in Crossbell. As the Einherjar and Knight Leader summoned by Hilmeilia, Li Xuelu was also the main person who went to Crossbell to negotiate.
According to Li Xuelu's report, the negotiations went smoothly, but Mayor McDowell still had some doubts about the central plot. According to Fangzheng's design, Starlight Technology wanted to build a 500-meter-high building in the center of the city. Such a building could be regarded as the tallest building in the world. He was not sure whether Starlight Technology had enough financial resources to support the construction of such a tall building, nor was he sure whether there would be any customers after the building was completed.
"Words alone are useless. Looks like I can only fool them here."
After listening to Li Xuelu's report, Fangzheng shook his head. He turned on his personal terminal and sent a document over.
"Print this out and show it to Mayor McDowell and the Crossbell City Council."
"What's this?"
"It's the detailed design of Starlight Tower. Tell Mayor McDowell that we're not just building an entertainment facility. What we're going to build is a modern tourist tower that integrates entertainment, leisure, service and reception facilities. Also, this place will become the headquarters of Starlight Technology after it's completed. Also, we won't choose to take a loan from IBC. We have enough money to complete the project in one go. If these guys have anything else to say, show them this …. "
"Old City Development Plan?"
"Yes. Didn't you report that the old city of Crossbell has always been unmanaged? Go tell Mayor McDowell that Starlight Technology will carry out a second development of the old city and use it as an employee residential area and manufacturing base. We will also hire a large number of people to help solve the employment problem. "
Fangzheng was quite confident in his plan. After all, he had captured the minds of those politicians. There had never been a 500-meter-tall building in this world. Once it was built, it would be the first in the world. Moreover, as a large-scale entertainment facility, the Starlight Tower itself was also the result of Fangzheng's freedom. The first to third floors were large department stores, while the fifth to eighth floors were indoor entertainment venues, including an ice-skating rink, swimming pool, greenhouse, restaurant, museum, and above that, there was an aquarium and a zoo.
Apart from that, Fangzheng also referred to designs from his previous life and designed an open-air swimming pool on the 50th floor. He used a glass wall as a barrier to give people the illusion that water was suspended in mid-air.
The whole building will be in the style of Starsoul, so Fangzheng intends to use Tanji to build it. As for the security aspect, it will be left to the Heroic Spirits of Hilmeilia to guard.
Of course, such a building also occupied a large area. According to Crossbell's map, the entire area of the Starlight Tower occupied three districts, including Happy Street, the back street, and the central square. Of course, in order to avoid trouble, Fangzheng also signaled Li Xuelu to directly buy the Millennium Hotel and Rainbow Theater located in Happy Street. This way, after the Starlight Tower is built, the hotel and theater can directly enter the tower. This will also eliminate a large part of the problem. After all, for Fangzheng, problems that can be solved with money will never be a problem.
"One more thing."
"Yes, Sir. Do you have any other requests?"
"Go and negotiate with the Crossbell Council. The industrial park and the Starlight Tower will be our territory after the reconstruction. We have the right to punish those who commit crimes in the facilities."
If there was anything strange about Crossbell, it would be that the state's laws were only effective on the local residents. If the Empire or the Republic broke the law in Crossbell, it would be very difficult to punish them. In Fangzheng's eyes, this was no different from a colony. Because of this, the police force in Crossbell was also controversial. Fangzheng did not intend to get involved in this matter, so he simply took the law enforcement power into his own hands.
Of course, the Starlight Tower wasn't that easy to destroy. Even if a crazy terrorist wanted to stuff a nuclear bomb in the elevator and detonate it, it would be impossible to turn the Starlight Tower into ruins. But it was better to be prepared.
"That's all. Any other questions?"
"Yes, Sir. The Rubatcher Chamber of Commerce has sent someone to talk to me about land acquisition."
"Rubatcher?"
"It's a chamber of commerce located in the back street, but it's an underground organization that secretly controls the entire underground world of Crossbell."
"Oh, right … .they also have these annoying bugs …."
Upon hearing this, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and grunted lightly.
"Tell them that I'll personally discuss this matter with them when I go to Crossbell."
"Yes, there's one more thing."
"Hmm?"
"Lady Hilmelia contacted me earlier. She said that a lady named Toricia will be coming to Crossbell …."
"Oh, that's fast. I'll leave it to you. You can judge her ability. If she's not bad, she'll be your assistant. If she's average, she'll be an ordinary employee."
"Understood. Good night, Sir."
"Good night."
After ending the communication, Fangzheng stood up and stretched his body while looking out the window. Under the moonlight, the silhouette of the castle on the island in the middle of the lake could be clearly seen.
"Hmm … .tomorrow might be exciting."
Looking at the dark and gloomy castle, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile.
The next day, after breakfast, the group arrived at the pier. They would board a small boat to visit the castle. However, the difference from yesterday was that there was one more person in their group today.
"Everyone, please come with me."
Laura, who was wearing casual clothes, still had a calm appearance. According to the old butler who followed her, Viscount Arside was currently in seclusion. Therefore, his daughter was responsible for leading them to the island. Fang Zheng naturally didn't care about this, it was normal for him to do so. After all, the Saintess of the Gun was a legendary and respected warrior in this country. The castle where she lived naturally couldn't be casually visited by just anyone ….
Fangzheng naturally didn't mind, so the group took the boat and headed for the castle in the middle of the lake.
"Clatter clatter …"
Ling, Tita, Tio, and Alisa screamed and played with the smooth lake water in front of them. Laura, who was sitting at the bow of the ship, quietly turned her head and looked at Fangzheng, who was sitting at the back of the ship.
What happened between him and her father yesterday?
Laura didn't know the result of the fight between the two, but in her opinion, it was impossible for her father to lose …. Although she thought so, her father chose to go into seclusion after that, and he even asked her to take care of Fangzheng and the others. This reaction was very strange.
Thinking about it carefully, it only took a few minutes for the two to return yesterday, which meant that the winner was decided very quickly. Of course, it wasn't strange for an ordinary person to fight a Sword Saint level opponent. However, the problem was that it wasn't Mr. Fangzheng who had challenged his father. Instead, it was his father who had taken the initiative to spar with Mr. Fangzheng. With his father's character, he naturally wasn't the kind of person who would deliberately bully the weak.
Could it be ….
Thinking of this, an unbelievable thought appeared in Laura's mind.
Could it be that Mr. Fangzheng was stronger than her father? And easily defeated her father?
No, no, no, that can't be. This gentleman looks like he's in his twenties, very young, and he doesn't have any weapons on him. Her father is also a battle-hardened Sword Saint, so it's impossible for him to be defeated so easily.
If that's not the case, then what's going on?
At this moment, Laura was puzzled.
Just as she was racking her brains, a gigantic ancient castle appeared before everyone's eyes.
Lohengrin City.
This used to be the castle where the legendary Saintess of the Spear lived. Legend has it that every full moon night, the Saintess' soul would appear in the city. The castle gate in front of Fangzheng and the others was tightly shut. It seemed that no one had lived here for a long time.
"This is Lohengrin City."
At this time, Laura also put away her thoughts and introduced to everyone.
"Is there usually no one living here?"
"No."
Facing Tida's curious question, Laura shook her head.
"Our Arsaid Family is only responsible for managing this castle. We occasionally send people to clean it up, but basically no one lives here …. As for the reason, I don't know."
"I think it's better for people to live in these buildings. Uninhabited places will always be occupied by strange things, right?"
Fangzheng also smiled as he casually mentioned it.
"I remember there's a story …."
"Wahhh!! Mr. Fangzheng, don't tell a story! "
"That's right, Brother Fangzheng, don't tell a story!!!"
However, just as Fangzheng was about to tell another story to liven up the atmosphere, Alisa and Tida waved their hands and interrupted him.
"Fine, I won't tell a story."
Facing their protests, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders. He pushed the gate open and the group walked in.
"This is the hall of the castle."
After entering the castle, Laura took the initiative to introduce the place.
"Legend has it that this used to be …."
"Boom!!!"
However, before Laura could finish her words, a loud noise was heard. The door that had been opened completely closed behind them, scaring the girls.
"What's going on? Who closed the door? "
"There's no one?!"
Faced with this unexpected scene, the girls looked at each other.
They hurriedly walked to the door and grabbed the handle to pull it back, but the entire door seemed to have merged with the wall and didn't budge at all.
"What, what's going on?"
Tida looked at Laura in confusion, but the latter was also dumbfounded.
"I don't know, I've never heard of something like this happening in Lohengrin City!"
"Alright, little girls."
Just as the girls were feeling worried and puzzled, they saw Fangzheng clap his hands and smile.
"Just treat it as part of the trip. It's time for you to show off your skills."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, the girls were taken aback. They looked forward.
Then, they saw the empty space in front of them suddenly distort. Then, several strange monsters emerged from it and pounced towards the girls!
