Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Lin Gui soon returned with a worn-out leather package.

Inside were several transparent tubes of varying thicknesses and a few metal needles.

There was also a rudimentary manual air pump pressure device.

He assembled the kit skillfully, then took out several test strips and began to test his blood.

The results came out quickly.

Elvia's blood type is a perfect match for the saint.

"Give me your hand." Lin Gui didn't even look up.

Elvia asked curiously as she extended her wrist.

"What if our blood types don't match?"

Lin Gui grabbed her wrist and, with a "whoosh," precisely inserted the needle into her vein.

He replied casually, "What can I do? Just take a brick downstairs and randomly pick a lucky one."

"It's just a bit troublesome to do the blood test, and Miss Saintess doesn't have time to waste."

"Is that so..."

Elvia watched her blood flow from the tube and suddenly smiled slyly.

She suddenly pinched the IV line with her fingers, pretending to suddenly realize something.

"Oh dear! Have you forgotten? I have 'Devil's Kiss' on me! Is this blood... alright?"

Lin Gui slapped her hand away, allowing the blood to continue flowing into the saintess's body.

He looked at Elvia speechlessly.

"The Devil's Kiss is not transmitted through blood."

"If your blood can infect people, why is the Devil's Kiss so scarce?"

Elvia gave an awkward smile, still unwilling to give up.

"For the sake of the Holy Maiden's health, perhaps... you could detoxify me first?"

Lin Gui looked at her, remained silent for a moment, and then extended a finger.

"One thing. If you help me with this, I'll give you the antidote."

Elvia's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "What are the conditions?"

Lin Gui took the worn-out messenger bag off his back and handed it to her.

"Deliver the remaining letters to the appropriate people."

Elvia was taken aback, took the package, and waited for a long time without receiving any further news.

"That's...that's it??"

Lin Gui tilted his head: "Not enough? Then I'll add another one..."

"Okay! I've done it! No need to add anything else!"

Elvia quickly interrupted him, clutching the mailbag tightly.

He hesitated for a moment.

The thought of finally escaping that damned devil's poisonous kiss filled me with awe.

Your life is back in your own hands.

A genuine, almost liberated, happy smile instantly bloomed on her face.

Not long after, Shia nimbly jumped in through the window.

She was carrying a huge pile of medicinal herbs in her arms, the paper packages stacked high, almost obscuring her face.

Various grass roots, dried flowers, and even a small jar of viscous, dark red liquid.

It exudes a mixed aroma of bitterness and sweetness.

The combined effects of medicinal herbs and continuous blood transfusions.

A faint trace of color gradually returned to Saint Eve's face.

Although her breathing was still shallow, it was no longer so intermittent, and she eventually fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing the undisguised joy on Elvia's face, Shia asked curiously.

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

When she heard that Lin Gui had agreed to cure Elvia's poison, Shia looked at Elvia.

"Elvia, will you still come with us to Avalon?"

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat quiet.

Elvia scratched the dimple on her face.

Finally, he grabbed Shea's hand and pretended to be sad.

"Sorry, Shia, I have several thousand people in the capital waiting for me to support."

"I'm so sorry I might not be able to go on this adventure with you."

Shia rolled her eyes at her: "That's so fake, Elvia."

Elvia chuckled.

Suddenly, she swayed and her vision went black.

It is clear that ischemia is causing insufficient oxygen supply to the brain.

"How much longer will it take to draw blood?" she asked weakly.

Lin Gui didn't answer, but silently took her hands in his.

Shea then straddled her waist to hold her in place.

Elvia was taken aback, looking at Lin Gui with a bad feeling rising in her heart: "How much are you planning to take?"

Lin Gui smiled faintly.

"Don't worry. I'll find someone with the same blood type for you and give you a little more."

Elvia: "???"

In the end, another person collapsed from excessive blood loss in the bed.

After making sure Elvia and the saintess were properly settled...

Lin Gui breathed a sigh of relief.

Miss Saintess's life was finally saved, and Lin Gui could finally catch his breath.

The continuous high-pressure battles left his body exhausted.

He collapsed onto another bed by the window in the attic.

He pulled over some old but still clean bedding and placed it behind him.

He was completely absorbed in it and let out a long sigh of relief.

Thanks to Carlyle's final carelessness, this time they narrowly escaped disaster.

If the other party insists on pursuing and killing them.

Lin Guizhen had no idea how to escape with the Holy Maiden while under the soul mark.

A figure gently approached.

Shea sat down beside him, leaning against the blankets.

She carried a faint scent of grass and sunshine, which smelled wonderful.

Moonlight streamed through the window, outlining the delicate, elfin profile of her face.

"Hey," she asked softly.

"Can you tell me what happened while I was away?"

Because of her status as a wanted criminal and the instability of her demonic energy, she was not constantly keeping Lin Gui at bay.

Therefore, the specific experiences of Lin Gui and Elvia in the capital are unclear.

He was just here to deliver a letter.

However, he ended up getting involved with the saintess and attracting a terrifying enemy, a legendary high-ranking assassin.

Outside the mine, she witnessed Carlyle pierce through all the clay figures in an instant.

...within a few seconds.

The clay figures scattered across the sky within a radius of kilometers were all shattered; the precision and speed were terrifying.

Lin Gui opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin.

Carlyle assassinated the saint because of prophecy.

Whether it's divine prophecy that allows one to see the future.

It's still divination in written form.

In the land of Carter's capital, one might glimpse secrets that Carrey doesn't want others to know.

The probability is extremely small.

But Carlyle clearly didn't want to take that risk.

Not to mention Carlyle, even Lin Gui himself harbored murderous intent towards the Holy Maiden.

If the other party doesn't hand over any fatal evidence to him.

When the saintess revealed Shia's true identity.

He was genuinely considering handing the saintess over to the rebels.

Even now, Lin Gui still doesn't understand how the Holy Maiden knew about Youye Shayi's existence and Xiya's identity as a demon.

However, it won't be long before the Holy Maiden tells him the real reason.

As for what secret Carlyle is hiding?

This secret would drive him to take the risk of assassinating a group of holy maidens.

Lin Gui had a gut feeling that it was definitely related to the Tomb of Katya.

But after thinking for a moment, he decided to give up on investigating further.

In any case, his mission was accomplished.

The letter was delivered, and the hero's remains were also delivered to the Queen's tomb, somewhere he could not see.

The intricacies of Carter's capital city were no longer relevant to him.

He gave a brief reply to Xia's questioning gaze.

"It was complicated, but it's all over."

"We will be leaving the capital soon, and the Saintess will be with us to find Avalon."

"Nothing here has anything to do with us."

Shia asked doubtfully, "But would she be willing? She is a saint of the Church of Light."

"And even if she agreed, would the Guardian Knights allow her to leave alone?"

Lin Gui appeared calm: "Don't worry, Miss Saintess will give us a satisfactory answer."

He remembered the saintess's prophecy: beer, revelry.

Isn't this exactly the scene of Shield City described by the Blackhammer Dwarves?

Outside the window, in the inner part of the royal capital, celebratory fireworks continued to bloom.

Multicolored orbs of light exploded in the night sky, like fleeting flowers, illuminating parts of the city.

The king ordered the whole city to celebrate for three days.

The streets were bustling with people.

From the middle level, across the towering city walls, the faint sounds of laughter and cheers could be heard.

Shea gazed at the dazzling scenery outside the window, her eyes filled with longing.

Seeing her like this, Lin Gui asked, "Want to go for a walk?"

Shea shook her head and refused: "If the church finds out, I'll be 'exploding with gold coins'."

Lin Gui said, "We can wait until the Church of Light leaves tomorrow before we go."

Shia worried, "Is there enough time? We haven't even bought the supplies for Shield City yet."

Lin Gui stood up and sighed.

I wanted to rest a bit, but what a pity.

"We can prepare supplies in advance. The celebration goes on day and night. Although it's late now, many shops are still open."

He took out paper and pen and began to record the supplies needed.

Xia also borrowed some, quickly wrote it down, and handed it to Lin Gui with a slightly awkward expression.

"Um... could you please buy me the thing I want as well?"

Her reaction puzzled Lin Gui.

He took the note and his expression immediately turned strange.

Besides some classic knight and princess novels, the list also includes many titles that scream melodramatic clichés.

"The Elf Princess's Runaway Sweetheart," "The Tyrannical Dragon's Little Darling," and "The Untold Story of Me and My Seven Knights"

Lin Gui: "..."
