Although he was a little confused about the earthquake, Fang Zheng did not intend to investigate related issues... This had nothing to do with Starlight Technology. At the moment, he was more concerned about his own plan.

The core point of this plan is naturally only one, and that is Crossbell's Starlight Tower.

Considering that he had not paid enough attention to Illya before, Fang Zheng deliberately took Illya to Crossbell this time to inspect the current construction of the Starlight Tower, and the others stayed at home. Ling was relieved about this, Tio herself didn't care, and Fei had no interest in anything other than the Hunter Corps. As for Xiao Hei, because of Illya's abnormality that night, he didn't act like a spoiled child and object as usual... Well, to some extent, it was a good thing.

So Fang Zheng took Illya on an airship to Crossbell for this inspection.

When the two men walked down the gangway and arrived at the airport exit, they saw a woman with golden curly hair walking towards them.

"Hello, Mr. Fang Zheng."

"Who are you……"

Looking at the blonde beauty in front of him, Fang Zheng thought for a moment.

"Ms. Tolisha?"

"Yes, I'm Tolisha Regnitz. Long time no see, Mr. Founder."

As she spoke, Tolisha lowered her head and bowed deeply to Fang Zheng.

"You look pretty good now."

Fang Zheng took a close look at Tolisha in front of him. He still remembered that he had accidentally rescued this woman in the Crimson Imperial Capital. At that time, Tolisha had problems with her noble fiancé and chose to commit suicide. After that, Fang Zheng rescued her and introduced her to work in Crossbell.

Several years have passed in a flash. Compared with Fang Zheng's memory, Tolisha is now more energetic. Although her appearance does not seem to have changed, her spirit and energy are obviously completely different from the living dead sitting in the sickbed.

"This is all thanks to you, Mr. Fang Zheng."

Looking at Fang Zheng in front of her, Tolixia also smiled. Just as Fang Zheng had guessed, after being rescued from the failed suicide attempt, Tolixia returned to her home. However, the turmoil caused by this did not pass, and the rumors in the streets did not stop after that, and many rumors were spread.

Some people claimed that Tolisha seduced the nobles because she was attracted by their wealth, but was discovered by their family and committed suicide out of shame. Others said that the nobles had some dark and obscene hobbies in private, and Tolisha was tortured by them and couldn't bear it, so she chose to commit suicide.

Originally, everyone thought that the rumors would disappear after a period of time, but the reality was completely the opposite. All kinds of rumors became more and more intense, and even Tolisha's behavior of staying indoors was rumored to be that she was pregnant with the other noble's child and was in labor.

These rumors not only troubled Tolisha, but also affected her family. In this situation, Tolisha finally thought of Fang Zheng's invitation, came to Crossbell, and joined Starlight Technology. Then she used her grief as strength and devoted herself to work... Well, this shows that Fang Zheng's original idea was really correct.

"I am now the first secretary of the Starlight Technology representative office in Crossbell. This time, Miss Li Xuelu asked me to lead the way for Mr. Fang Zheng and introduce the current development of Starlight Technology in Crossbell."

"Well, thank you for your help then."

Fang Zheng nodded. He remembered that he had told Li Xuelu to arrange a position for Tolisha, and if she was not capable enough, she could work as a receptionist. Now it seemed... he had finally found a treasure?

At this time, Tolisha also turned her gaze to Illya beside Fang Zheng.

"Excuse me, who is this little sister..."

"This is my lovely sister, say hello."

"Ah, yes."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Illya hurriedly walked up and bowed respectfully.

"Hello, my name is Illya, Illyasviel von Einzbern. It's our first meeting, thank you for your guidance."

"Why……?"

After hearing Illya's self-introduction, Tolisha's expression stiffened a little, while Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?"

"No, please tell me, is this Miss Illya a noble?"

"oh……"

After hearing Tolisha's question, Fang Zheng suddenly realized that Tolisha was indeed from the Empire, where the naming of nobles followed certain rules. Names with middle names like this were generally only given to nobles who owned their own territories, and they were all from very ancient noble families.

There are certain rules for the middle names of nobles. For example, Illya's name "Illyasviel von Einzbern" means "Illyasviel from Einzbern". This is the naming rule for nobles who obtain nobility through territory, and Chlos's name "Chlotia von Osserres" means "Chlotia from the Osserres family".

The same is true for people like the Imperial Emperor Eugent Lezer Anor and the Swordsmith of Light Viscount Victor S. Alseide.

Therefore, generally speaking, nobles with middle names may not necessarily have high status, but their family history is definitely of the type of founding heroes with a long history. After all, things like territories are mostly fixed in a country's historical period. Even if some nobles who originally occupied the territory lost their territory for various reasons and their territory was inherited by other nobles, those nobles would not use this name again - you can't cut off your family name and then add someone else's surname, right?

Tolisha was once engaged to a noble family, so it was impossible for her not to know about this.

After all, Illya is indeed a noble.

"This happened a long time ago, and she is not from the Empire. You don't need to worry about such trivial matters."

“I see…”

After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Tolisha breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Illya with a smile on her face again.

"Hello, little sister. My name is Tolisha Regnitz. Thank you for your guidance... Well, the car is waiting outside. Please follow me."

Under the guidance of Tolisha, Fang Zheng and Illya got into the car parked outside the airport, and then the car started and drove towards the city. At the same time, Tolisha also began to report to Fang Zheng the achievements of Starlight Technology in Crossbell during this period of time.

The biggest project of Starlight Technology in Crossbell is the Starlight Tower. Almost everything revolves around the Starlight Tower - this is just the outside world's view. In fact, it is not the case.

Compared with the construction progress of the Starlight Tower, Fang Zheng is more concerned about the renovation plan of the old city.

That's right, Mayor McDowell probably had no idea that the Starlight Tower was just a plan that Fang Zheng used to fool him, and the real purpose was the old city reconstruction plan that looked like a "gift". Through this reconstruction plan, Starlight Technology could be said to have built a country within a country in Crossbell through "legal means".

Fang Zheng adopted the concept of "large living community" from his original world and renovated the entire old city on a large scale. In addition to resettling the population, Fang Zheng also built community stores and schools, and even cooperated with St. Ursula Medical University to open a community hospital there.

With these facilities, community guards are of course indispensable, so Fang Zheng legitimately dispatched a small number of elite troops composed of heroes summoned by Hilmeria, and then recruited local people from Crossbell to form a security department to patrol the entire old city.

It can be said that the old town of Crossbell is no longer the place where gangsters are rampant, ruins and vagrants are everywhere, but a large living community integrating catering, entertainment, medical care and education. Not only that, Fang Zheng also used the trick of his country's state-owned enterprises in the past - housing allocation!

As long as people working at Crossbell Starlight Technology work hard and reach a certain number of points, they can get housing allocated to them by Starlight Technology!

It's free!

As soon as this offer was announced, the recruitment office of Starlight Technology was immediately packed with people. Who wouldn't want to own a house of their own? Moreover, with Starlight Technology's no expense spared in construction, the old city had already undergone a major transformation, and was not much worse than the high-end residential areas where the nobles lived. Of course, considering the area of ​​the old city, Fang Zheng was also building apartment buildings here, not villas like those in the high-end residential areas, but for ordinary civilians, this was enough.

What could be better than being able to get free housing and live a leisurely life in a safe, comfortable and convenient green community?

Of course, this issue is not what Founder is most concerned about at the moment.

"So, what is the current situation of the Crossbell Guerrilla Association?"

"this……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Tolisha looked embarrassed. She flipped through the documents and then answered in a low voice.

"Although we have reformed the community police force according to your request, Mr. Fang Zheng, and so far, the police force has gained a certain degree of recognition in the community and the city of Crossbell, such as providing free services to citizens and helping them solve problems without asking for anything in return. These have been recognized. However, compared with the Guerrilla Association, it is still a little behind."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Fang Zheng frowned.

"Why?"

"Arios Marklain."

Torisha gave her answer.

"In the eyes of the citizens of Crossbell, this A-rank guerrilla, the Sword Saint of Wind, has a very high reputation. Before this, he helped the citizens solve many problems and has been worshipped as a hero by the citizens of Crossbell. In this situation, even though the citizens will still come to us for negotiation under normal circumstances, when they encounter truly difficult situations, they still trust the power of the Sword Saint of Wind more."

"Arios Marklain..."

Fang Zheng thought for a moment, then reached out his hand.

"Give me his information."

"yes."

Hearing Fang Zheng's request, Tolixia immediately handed over one of the documents. Fang Zheng took the document and read it carefully for a while.

"Hmm? Was he a former policeman?"

"Yes, he was a policeman not long ago, but later due to some things, he left the police department and joined the Guerrilla Association."

"Well... my wife died in an accident and my daughter became blind..."

Looking at the information in front of him, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

This is interesting.
