After Violet Cloud received the key, her heart could not help but pound in anticipation. She wished that she could quickly return to the city, undo the seal on this key, and become an important combat power for Zero Wing as soon as possible.
Although the Guilds in White River City currently appeared to be at peace on the surface, beneath that surface were surging undercurrents. Nobody knew what kind of plans these Guilds were concocting. This was especially true for Dark Star and World Dominators. No matter how one looked at it, they were not Guilds that would give up after suffering only one or two defeats.
Yet, despite Zero Wing maintaining such a high profile, these two Guilds had actually done nothing at all. How could their lack of a response not give rise to suspicions?
Although Violet Cloud did not know what these two Guilds were planning, she was sure of one thing: as long as Zero Wing became sufficiently strong, no matter what sort of tricks or means those two Guilds used, all would be rendered useless.
"Star's Reminiscence?" Violet Cloud softly muttered after checking the information of the key in her hands.
[Star's Reminiscence] (Magic Weapon)
A key belonging to the ancient and great Star Sage, Raines. Inside this key remains a fragment of Star Sage Raines's power. Currently, Raines's power has been sealed by a mysterious power, and information about the key can only be unveiled after the seal has been undone. This seal requires a Tier 3 Great Mage to undo.
After Shi Feng had used Omniscient Eyes on this Star's Reminiscence, a portion of the information that had displayed as "Unknown" became available.
Star Sage Raines was one of the many legendary characters of God's Domain. Even among legendary characters, Star Sage Raines was one of the more dazzling figures. The reason being, the Astromancer class had managed to become powerful and prosperous only due to the efforts of Star Sage Raines. Unfortunately, along with the demise of Star Sage Raines, the entire Astromancer class had slowly vanished through time. As of today, most people had already forgotten about the existence of Astromancers.
Shi Feng took a look at his surroundings, saying, "Now that the traps have been removed, we should return as well."
With the magic array of the control room deactivated, what they needed to do next was to wipe out all the Blood Hand Association NPCs outside Creek Town, as well as all the NPCs inside the Blood Hand Association's stronghold. After that was done, the Crusade Quest would be officially completed.

While Shi Feng's group of four was leaving the Blood Hand Association's stronghold, a major incident occurred at White River City.
Originally, the members of Zero Wing had occupied only up to the 40th position on the White River City Ranking List. However, after another two hours had passed, Zero Wing now occupied every rank up to the 20th position of the Ranking List. Currently, Zero Wing was only 11 ranks away from obtaining full monopoly over the Ranking List.
At present, not a single Guild in Star-Moon Kingdom had managed to achieve the feat of completely monopolizing the Ranking List of a single city. To be precise, nobody had even dared to think of achieving such a feat. After all, there were plenty of experts in every city; there were bound to be a few leveling madmen. It was practically impossible for a single Guild to surpass every other player in a city.
Not to mention, White River City wasn't just a small city. On the contrary, it was the most important city in Star-Moon Kingdom's eastern region. It was also the fifth largest city in Star-Moon Kingdom. Needless to say, there were plenty of Guilds and experts gathered here, making it very difficult to fully monopolize the city's Ranking List.
