Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Lysa opened her mouth, but found herself speechless.

Silver-haired elves do indeed hold a special status among the elven race, but she cannot guarantee that all silver-haired elves are Windseekers.

Unlike the old-fashioned elves of the Elf Forest.

Lysa started her activities outside the tribe ten years ago, so she naturally knows that some of the tribe's consensuses are not absolute.

She remained silent for a long time, then finally sighed:

"Little mage, don't blame me for being nervous."

"Silver-haired elves are too special among my people; they are both a symbol of high status and a mark of traitors."

"If she really is from the Windseekers..."

The forest elf gave Shia a deep look, her voice low and deep:

"It would be best to kill her here."

"The gene of betrayal is deeply ingrained in the blood of this tribe."

"They'll do anything for their own selfish desires!"

"Therefore, for the safety of the journey ahead, I must verify the identity of your companion."

Lysa gripped her bow and arrow, preparing to move forward.

Lin Gui blocked her way again.

"What exactly did the Windseekers do to be considered a traitor by you?"

Lysa said through gritted teeth:

"They colluded with the demons! They even fathered children with demons!"

"To give birth to a half-demon who spreads despair and calamity—isn't that betrayal?"

Lin Gui's expression was strange as he asked Lysa:

"According to you, the Windseekers colluded with the Daedric Princes, so this is considered betrayal?"

"Isn't this betrayal?" Lysa questioned.

"The Windseekers, along with their allied demons, have invaded the elves?"

"..."

"Has the Windseekers' collusion with the Asmodians damaged your standing within the Alliance?"

"..."

"Did your so-called betrayal cause losses to your tribe? Casualties? Or merely damage to your reputation?"

Lin Gui's questions left Lysa speechless.

As dusk fell, Shia's silver hair shimmered softly in the dimming light.

She straightened her back, her pointed ears trembled slightly, and her gaze met Lysa's scrutiny with unwavering determination.

Lin Gui looked at everyone, his voice clear and firm:

"As a human, my understanding of betrayal is—"

"A son kills his father, a brother kills his brother..."

"Families kill each other for a bite to eat."

"Heroes who champion the weak are ultimately the ones they protect sent to the stake."

"To seize the fruits of victory, to live the extravagant life they once hated..."

His voice suddenly turned cold:

"Put the knife into the back of your savior."

Lin Gui's gaze swept over each team member, finally settling on Lysa's face:

"I understand your concerns, and I am not trying to defend the Wind Chasers."

"I just want to tell you that Vera is trustworthy."

"She is far more trustworthy than any other race, even the dragons, who are known for their strong sense of contract."

Shia lowered her head slightly, her fingers gently tracing the dagger at her waist.

Beneath that disguised face, no one could see her true expression at that moment.

Lin Gui calmly added:

"Of course, if you still can't rest assured, we can part ways here."

Night had completely fallen, and only the chirping of insects and the crackling of the campfire remained in the forest.

All eyes were on Lysa, awaiting her decision.

Lysa stared intently at Lin Gui, her emerald eyes flashing with a complex light.

After a long while, she finally slowly lowered the longbow she had been holding tightly.

"If we just let the three of you leave alone like this..."

Her voice carried a hint of helplessness, "This is no different from killing you all with my own hands."

"You just did the caravan a huge favor..."

The forest elf took a step back and slung the bow and arrows back behind her:

"Elves would not do such an ungrateful thing."

She gave Shia a deep look, but ultimately didn't pursue the conspicuous silver hair any further.

Shia crossed her arms, rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, and muttered under her breath:

"Who do you think you are...?"

"We dare to roam right under the nose of a legendary demon, do you?"

Lin Gui raised his hand and lightly patted the back of Xia's head:

"Say less."

Shea immediately covered her mouth, but her eyes still held a hint of defiance.

Freya stepped forward at the opportune moment, her icy blue eyes sweeping over the crowd:

"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, let's prepare to set off."

"Traveling under the cover of night is indeed a good choice."

She turned to Lin Gui, her tone filled with trust:

"We'll do it your way."

Everyone immediately sprang into action.

Lin Gui stood at the very front of the train, gently placing his hands on the cold carriage body.

Shea came to his side, her emerald eyes gleaming faintly in the darkness.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, her sharp gaze piercing through the layers of night, taking in the terrain ahead.

Eve stood quietly on the other side of the Forest Ghost, her hands folded in front of her chest.

A soft holy light flowed through her palm, ready to replenish the magic power that Lin Gui had consumed at any time.

Scholar Elie stood a little further back, holding a map, his finger lightly sliding across it:

"Follow this direction, avoiding the marked red areas."

Betty stayed close to Lin Gui, her eyes fixed on his spellcasting movements.

She muttered to herself, "So this is how levitation can control airflow..."

Freya leaped lightly to the top of the middle section of the train.

She spread her arms, her long, icy blue hair fluttering in the night breeze.

Ancient incantations flowed from her lips, and invisible magical ripples spread out from her.

Vice-captain Aubrey led the other team members in a final check.

The orc Grom tightened the last strap, while the barbarian warrior Barton warily looked around.

Scout Alvin and assassin Duru have disappeared into the darkness, scouting ahead.

Lysa, the forest elf, stood alone at the end of the group, her fingers unconsciously stroking the bowstring.

She would occasionally look up in Xia's direction, her eyes still filled with some doubt.

"Everything is ready," Aubrey reported in a deep voice.

Lin Gui took a deep breath and exerted slight force in his palm.

The trackless train rose silently, half a meter off the ground.

Guided by Shia, the train glided into the dense forest as smoothly as a fish swimming in water.

Freya's concealment magic perfectly enveloped the entire train.

The twenty-meter-long steel behemoth moved through the darkness without making a sound.

Only the occasional startled birds that took flight testified to their passing.

The night was deep, and the train moved silently through the dense forest.
