As the airship got closer to its destination, the human territories on the plains below became denser.
Finally, when the airship could vaguely make out a river on the horizon, the human farms and manors below the airship had almost merged into one. The forests had instead become embellishments between the human territories, and the castles in the human territories had gradually become extravagant villas.
This area was already the hinterland of the human world, and the threat from the wilderness could no longer reach here.
According to the geographical information that Feng Chou had seen, within a few hundred kilometers of the Alvindale River, there was an abundance of underground water. The land could be maintained without irrigation, and growing crops here did not require irrigation to produce a harvest.
In addition to the steady flow of the Alvindale River, it flowed slowly, and floods were rare, making this place a paradise for humans.
The people of Alvindale even called the Alvindale River the "Heavenly River", and the land on both sides of the river was called the "Heavenly Land".
As the airship moved forward, the water line on the horizon became wider and wider, and finally a hundred kilometers wide river appeared in front of everyone.
Along with the river, a city on the east bank of the river appeared in front of everyone.
Against the backdrop of the hundred kilometer wide river, the city looked like a small town.
As the airship got closer, the city and the river's true appearance became clearer.
Feng Chou noticed that in the territories near the river's embankment, the extravagant villas had become castles once again. On the thick stone embankment, there were defensive structures similar to towers at regular intervals.
It seemed that the river did not only bring riches to the people.
The magic airship flew non-stop towards the west for two days and one night before finally arriving at its destination.
As the airship approached the city, it gradually slowed down and finally landed in a small plaza in the northeast of the city.
After getting off the airship and walking out of the plaza, Feng Chou discovered that this plaza was also located at the back door of the Adonis Mage Academy.
Feng Chou stayed in a luxurious hotel beside the Mage Academy.
Three days later, he left the hotel in disappointment once again.
The Adonis Mage Academy's admission system was exactly the same as Audric's, perhaps even stricter. They did not accept mages from outside the region, and Feng Chou's Duchy of Vita was not part of the Adonis Mage Academy's jurisdiction.
Extremely disappointed, Feng Chou sat in the public carriage and headed southwest of the city.
The former Baron Amborite's villa was located southwest of the city's central square. It was located on the edge of the city center.
After traveling for more than half an hour, the carriage stopped in a quiet street with tall trees on both sides.
Feng Chou tossed a one-crown silver coin to the coachman and got off the carriage.
Currently, he was wearing a black silk Frac formal attire with a pale gold silk 'Kilay' inside. This was a sleeveless waistcoat that was used to complement the formal attire. In the style of the nobles of Orvendell, the 'Kilay' had to have a double row of gold or gemstone buttons and had to have a gorgeous color.
The lower half of his body was clad in a snow-white silk Kiryolot with tight silk stockings of the same color. The stockings were embroidered with bright yellow patterns. He wore a pair of black deerskin boots and a white wig on his head. He held a cane in his hand and raised his head slightly. With a noble's unique arrogance hidden in his gentleness, he walked towards the door of a villa by the street.
On the side of the street facing the villa, there was a row of cast iron fences. The gate was also made of the same material. There were pulleys installed under the double-open iron gate, and there were two arc-shaped pulley guide grooves on the ground. Beside the gate was a small gatehouse.
It was not hard to imagine that when the host or guest's carriage arrived at the door, the gatehouse's servants would quickly open the door and welcome the carriage in.
Through the fence, there was a small but exquisitely built garden. In the middle of the garden was a statue of an angel.
After passing through the garden, there was a three-storey palace-like building. The building was surrounded by neatly trimmed grass. The grass was surrounded by tall trees that could block outside the fence from spying on the villa.
Feng Chou stood in front of the fence and observed for a moment. He then picked up his cane and gently knocked on the iron gate with the silver ball on the tip of the cane.
After knocking on the door, a middle-aged man wearing medium armor walked out from the gatehouse. He had a longsword and a short musket hanging on his waist.
Qiankun Pagoda told Feng Chou that this was only a level 4 warrior and a level 3 rogue. His medium armor was the most common steel product.
The gatekeeper looked at Feng Chou's gorgeous noble attire and did not dare to neglect him. He carefully asked, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Feng Chou replied, "I want to see Steward Bernard."
The gatekeeper thought for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment." After that, he quickly walked into the villa.
After a while, the gatekeeper came in with a thin middle-aged man wearing a well-fitting high-class servant's uniform and a tall hat.
The middle-aged man followed the gatekeeper to the front of the gate. He looked at Feng Chou and bowed slightly: "Sir, I am the steward of this mansion. How can I help you?"
Feng Chou took out a few pages of documents from his coat pocket and handed them through the fence: "I am the nephew of Sir Robin. In fact, Sir Robin's real name was Chazel Amborite Stuart. He was the Baron of the Amborite County of Antalya. He passed away earlier this year and I inherited his title. Of course, I also inherited his territory, title, and property in Adonis. From today onwards, I am the owner of this villa and your master."
The documents he handed to Steward Bernard were the inheritance documents he went to the City Hall for the past two days.
If he was a commoner, then even if he had all the property rights documents and Chazel's will, it would be very troublesome to inherit these properties. However, he was a noble with the title of Baron, so it was much easier for him to go through these procedures.
Of course, if he wanted to get these properties, he would have to pay a considerable amount of inheritance tax to the City Hall.
The steward carefully looked at the documents he handed over and handed them back with both hands. He urged the gatekeeper to open the gate. He took off his hat and bowed to Feng Chou: "Welcome, Master Leo. Welcome home."
Feng Chou politely but coldly nodded and walked into the villa accompanied by the steward.
Passing through the small garden, Feng Chou walked into the villa building.
The first floor of the building was a rather spacious banquet hall, where the owner of the villa held banquets. On both sides of the hall were some functional rooms, such as a kitchen, a storage room, a lounge, and so on.
The second floor of the villa had a reception room, a bar, a coffee shop, a billiard room, a studio, a piano room, and other functional rooms for the owner to have private interactions. Some high-ranking servants also lived here.
The third floor was where the owner lived. There was a master bedroom and four bedrooms. The master bedroom was, of course, the residence of the owner. The other bedrooms could be used to entertain guests, and could also be used as bedrooms for the young master.
Each bedroom had its own living room and washroom, as well as a small room for the personal maids to live in.
For a Baron, this was a rather luxurious villa, worth more than 80,000 crowns.
