Chapter 92: The Black Tower Bookhouse

  The next day, Guo Fei went to the Lord's Manor early in the morning. As Zhao Xue had said, the people from the Martial Arts Academy of the Lord's Manor had already received the notice and were waiting there ahead of time. After seeing Guo Fei, they led him into the Lord's Manor.

  Martial arts halls are extremely sacred places in the mainland countries, not only for learning, but also as a symbol of identity and status, and an excellent place to attract talent.

  The martial arts hall of Blackstone County is located in the middle area of the manor. It's a stone tower, with no buildings within 100 meters around it, and a wall surrounding it from 100 meters away, with arrow towers on top where soldiers can be stationed, and the lord's personal guards patrol on top all day long. The gate of the wall is made of fine steel casting, with two lifelike tiger head door knockers, which are quite majestic.

  "Leave the storage ring behind!" Guo Fei walked in under the leadership of the steward of the manor, and when he entered the gate of the martial arts academy, the guard said in a low voice. Guo Fei took a look, inside the gate there was a room, which seemed to be a sentry post, the person guarding here was about forty years old, with piercing eyes shining brightly, with a faint blue glow flowing around him, it seems that this person's cultivation is not simple, the piercing eyes are the result of yuanqi nurturing, at least it is a Wu Zong cultivation. There were several separate rooms around the wall, where the warriors of the manor lived, responsible for guarding the martial arts academy.

  "Uh-huh!" Guo Fei nodded, taking off the storage ring and handing it over to him. There was nothing inside anyway, so Guo Fei handed it over without hesitation.

  As he walked through the gate, a solitary black tower stood tall, surrounded by dozens of beasts that resembled hunting dogs. These beasts had exceptionally sharp fangs in their mouths and their eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light. When they saw Guo Fei approaching, they let out a shrill cry, the sound sending shivers down his spine. However, due to the thick iron chains binding them, they could only tug at the chains, causing them to clank loudly, and were unable to get close to Guo Fei.

  The Black Tower had three layers, no windows, only a small iron door on the first floor. Guo Fei opened the door under the leadership of the tower guard at the Lord's manor. The person who opened the door was about 60 or 70 years old and looked very old, but his body had a swirling aura that shone with a yellow glow, making him not to be underestimated. Guo Fei knew that this person was by no means simple. He must be a powerful being of the Zhao Xue lineage.

  This person saw Guo Fei come in and didn't respond, nodding towards him before walking into a room inside the tower and sitting down at the far end.

  The interior of the closed tower was not dark, with crystal balls inlaid on the walls that emitted light. Guo Fei now knew that these crystal balls were special crystal balls that could emit light for a long time after being filled with yuanqi.

  Inside the tower, there are several corridors. On both sides of each corridor, there is a small compartment with bookshelves inside, where various books are stored. At the entrance to each compartment, there is a sign that indicates the type of books stored in this room.

  Guo Fei was very excited and began to browse one by one the knowledge he wanted to know.

  Guo Fei deeply felt the truth of "a book is not worth reading if it can't be borrowed" at this moment. In another world, there were countless e-books and paper books, but Guo Fei didn't even bother to look at them. The books in this world were very complicated and cumbersome, with bamboo slips strung together, animal hides made into pages, silk fabrics written on, jade slips carved with characters, golden leaves, silver leaves, iron plates inscribed with words... all sorts of materials, but the writing was unclear, none as convenient and clear as paper records.

  However, Guo Fei looked very carefully and hated to remember everything at once. Many unknown knowledge attracted Guo Fei, these knowledge were the basis for future survival. Can't help but pay attention, can't help but be serious.

  "There's a situation!" Guo Fei was reading in the Black Tower when a mental message came from the Soldier Token space, and he knew that this signal was sent by two of his undead soldiers.

  Kuo Fei walked out of the tower gate quickly, having been immersed in reading and not knowing what time it was due to the sealed environment inside. As he came out, the outside was filled with starlight, clearly indicating that it was deep into the night.

  "This young man is really something, every time he goes in it's for three days, his spirit of learning makes me exceptionally admire him. Haha, indeed heroes emerge in youth!" The old gatekeeper looked at Guo Fei with a rare smile and said with a chuckle.

  "Elder's praise is undeserved. I, the younger one, also can't take it and will go back to rest before coming again." Guo Fei bowed and left the Black Tower Martial Arts Institute, after exiting the Lord's Manor he transformed into a sword soldier, his body leaped up onto the rooftop and flew towards the direction of the resonance.

  With Guo Fei's current cultivation, flying over the eaves and walking on walls were nothing to him. After jumping out three kilometers away, Guo Fei arrived in front of a large manor house. He saw a group of people, about ten or so, riding blood-red horses and escorting a treasure carriage as they set off.

  Looking at the flag on the carriage, it was indeed the Town Far Escort Agency's escort vehicle. Guo Fei took a closer look and saw that the big man and the knight were also following the escort agency, walking with them. They had already taken off their bronze armor and were wearing black warrior attire, which made them look like wandering warriors on the continent.

  "These two guys followed Huo Xiaoyue into the mountains and became much smarter, it seems that in the future they should be allowed to go out and experience more, which is beneficial for improving their intelligence, and in the future they may become reliable assistants." Guo Fei thought to himself with delight.

  Guo Fei just let them go and gather information, unexpectedly the two of them became the coachmen of a security company, it's unknown how they got hired.

  The cavalry moved forward, leaving the city of Heishi County and rushing ahead. Guo Fei didn't follow closely, but instead kept a distance, with the space of the military symbol and the consciousness of the corpse god connecting him, so he didn't need to follow tightly.

  At this time, Guo Fei felt very puzzled. Transporting valuable goods in such a way was unthinkable. Guo Fei knew that in this world, escorts were usually for large and expensive items like medicine and weapons to prevent highway robbery.

  But a treasure like the Liù Dīng Liù Jiǎ Huàn Shā Zhen wouldn't be transported in such a way. Anyone who can afford to buy such a treasure must have a Qian Kun Ring for storage, and with just one fast horse and one person, it would be enough to transport it away safely and quickly. Why did they put it in the Pawn Bureau for escort?

  Guo Fei thought about it and came to the conclusion that there was only one possibility: Hu Yan and others knew they couldn't transport it out, so they handed it over to the escort agency. The escort agency used the escort as cover to mix it in and secretly send it out.

  Is it possible that the tricks of Zhēn Yuǎn Bīng Jú would not be discovered with the divine power of Hei Shí Xiàn Lǐng Fǔ? Guō Fēi thought that if he didn't enter the Lǐng Fǔ, they wouldn't discover them, but after entering the Lǐng Fǔ, Guō Fēi found out that Hei Shí Xiàn Lǐng Fǔ was not simple at all. They should have discovered it long ago and were just waiting for an opportunity.

  "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" With Guo Fei's sharp senses as a ninja, he naturally heard the three sonic booms coming from behind him from far away, which startled Guo Fei and made his body instantly hide.

  Three people, one with a faint yellow glow under his foot, one with white light and one with green light, flew in from behind. The three of them lightly touched the ground and jumped out more than ten feet away, their speed was extremely fast as they rushed towards the spear carriage team.

  As expected, people from the Lord's Manor have arrived. Looking at the three of them, their cultivation is at least at the mid-level of the Martial Ancestor Realm. Suddenly, they dispatched three strong Martial Ancestors. The Lord's Manor is indeed hiding its strength! Guo Fei thought to himself and sent a mental message to Da Ge and the Knight, telling them to make an excuse to slip away and avoid being persecuted.

  The big guy and the knight hurriedly borrowed an excuse to leave and ran into the dense forest beside the road. Instantly, they fled far away.

  Sorry, I was taken out on a business trip by my boss as soon as I went to work, and it's been almost two days, every day in the car, anxious and worried. Only returned home today. Wrote a chapter without eating dinner. Please forgive me, book friends. Xiao Xi is still an amateur after all, and has to rely on work to make a living, can't help it. Will try to make up for everyone's disappointment in the next few days. Hehe.
