Rebirth of the thief who roamed around the world (BOOK 3)

Chapter 515 - Nirvana Flame's Residence!

After passing through a plaza and entering the flourishing trade district, a luxurious three-story villa tucked away in a street corner entered Nie Yan's sight. It was gated off from the public, with a stone wall running along the perimeter of the property. Inside was a vibrant, lush garden filled with all sorts of flowers and plants. Butterflies fluttered about and birds chirped cheerily. This 10,000 square feet estate stood in stark contrast to the war-ridden surroundings.

It was as if a fairytale wonderland had plopped down into a bustling downtown core. This villa stood out like a sore thumb.

Establishing a shop here would be quite profitable. Sadly, Nie Yan could only reside in this villa, not tear it down. It had a long history behind it and was considered a landmark, having weathered through many great battles without so much as being damaged.

It was rumoured six Legendary Mages had established a protective barrier around this villa. This was why it wasn't destroyed during the demon beast invasion, or any of the other wars that had swept over this stronghold.

"This building will make a good temporary guild office for Asskickers United in the Hilton Stronghold," Nie Yan muttered as he approached the villa.

A large crowd of players had gathered around the entrance. They were in a heated discussion about something.

"What's going on?" Nie Yan was baffled.

After getting a closer look, Nie Yan could finally overhear their conversations.

"Nirvana Flame's Residence... do you think it's referring to some NPC or the Mad Rogue?"

"Probably some NPC. This villa is a landmark of the Hilton Stronghold. We're in the middle of the trade district. Each of the properties here cost an arm and a leg. Even if Nirvana Flame had the gold, he'd buy a shop front, not some villa. It has no practical value!"

"I heard this villa has over 2,000 years of history behind it. It's had more than 20 owners. Some NPCs say it contains a priceless treasure. If that's really true, it'd make sense that Nirvana Flame bought this place."

Hearing these comments, Nie Yan shifted his attention to the villa entrance and saw a wooden plaque beside the gate, elaborately carved with the words Nirvana Flame's Residence.

Most famous NPCs had wooden plaques indicating their names outside the entrance of their residences.

This villa belonged to Nie Yan. Naturally, this kind of plaque would be put up.

Before long, the patrolling guards came over and dispersed the crowd of players that had gathered here. From now on, everything within a five-meter radius of the villa entrance was private property. No one was allowed to approach without Nie Yan's permission.

Nie Yan took a stroll around the villa. The interior was quite spacious and fully furnished, and there was a large terrace in the garden.

Nie Yan made an announcement in the guild. From now on, this villa would be a temporary gathering hub for the players of Asskickers United inside the Hilton Stronghold. Accommodating a few hundred people wouldn't be an issue.

The players from Asskickers United broke out in discussion. Snagging this kind of villa in the most flourishing commerce zone of the Hilton Stronghold was quite eye-catching!

The forums also exploded with activity. Everyone was marvelling at this villa. Some rich tycoons were even offering upwards of 600,000 gold to purchase it. However, Nie Yan rejected them all. He wasn't short on gold first of all, and it couldn't be sold to others anyway.

This villa was a symbol of Nie Yan's status. In the future, all the Asskickers United players travelling to the Hilton Stronghold would gather here. It would become a mark of pride for the guild. At present, no other player could enjoy this sort of glory in a city.
