Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Lin Gui was silent for two seconds, then pointed to the spot on his forehead that was still throbbing slightly.

"That... the brick that knocked me out..."

Upon hearing this, Troy immediately looked embarrassed.

She floated in the air, nervously twisting her translucent little hands.

"Um... when you first came to my house..."

"I saw my brother and Uncle Clooney."

"I told them about my situation... and about you, kind postman monk."

She carefully observed Lin Gui's expression.

"Uncle Clooney... was a monk when he was alive."

"Even now that things have become like this, I can still use some power to influence things in reality."

"He...he's afraid you'll just leave."

"That's why..."

Troy's voice grew softer and softer, his eyes filled with pleading.

"Uncle Clooney is such a good uncle!"

"He usually takes good care of us 'kids'."

"They would take the time to teach us to read and also guide gifted children to practice breathing techniques."

"Everyone likes him very much..."

She floated a little closer and said earnestly:

"So please don't be angry with him, okay?"

"And my uncle said..."

She imitated a gruff tone:

"A mage who can use levitation is usually no ordinary mage!"

He thought that brick... would at most make you stumble.

"If this can get your attention, just stop and listen to our request."

She looked at the red mark on Lin Gui's forehead that hadn't faded yet, and her voice became even weaker.

"He didn't expect this either..."

"One brick and you're done for..."

Lin Gui's lips twitched violently.

"so……"

His tone was low and somber.

"Is it because I'm too weak?"

"Pfft—"

Eve, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Under Lin Gui's speechless gaze, she pursed her lips, a lingering smile in her eyes.

"Crispy little mage," she teased softly.

Lin Gui rolled her eyes at her and looked back at Troy.

"So, why did your uncle stop me?"

Troy immediately straightened up and said seriously:

He wants to ask you to help deliver a letter.

"Just like what you did for the inhabitants of Avalon."

She held the glass bead, twirled it in mid-air, then raised her finger and pointed firmly north.

"Besides, the delivery location isn't far!"

"Right in the north—"

"A small town that you can reach by walking through the twilight forest and following the moonlit stream."

Silverflow Town.

She looked at Lin Gui with a pleading look in her eyes.

"Uncle Clooney would like you to come and take a look..."

"Are his family still there?"

"So, kind mage..."

Troy floated in front of the Forest Ghost, clasped his hands together, and made a pleading gesture.

Her translucent little face was full of anticipation.

"Can you help Uncle Clooney?"

"And... the other 'residents' of Blackwater City?"

Lin Gui looked at the ghost in front of him who was clearly twenty-eight years old but had the appearance of a twelve-year-old.

He suddenly chuckled softly.

"Who just called me 'little brother'?"

"Well……"

Troy was momentarily stunned.

She blinked, then flashed a sickeningly sweet, ingratiating smile.

"It was my fault..."

"Brother Mage?"

She deliberately dragged out the last syllable of "brother" and tilted her head.

He tried to fool everyone with his youthful face.

Lin Gui raised an eyebrow, said nothing, but his expression clearly softened.

It seems like he quite likes being called that?

Eve watched this scene silently from the side.

From her perspective—

A glass bead appeared out of thin air in front of Lin Gui.

It moves slightly up and down, as if it is bowing and scraping.

Lin Gui was facing the air, with an almost smug expression on his face.

This scene...

It's really somewhat surreal and eerie.

While enjoying the word "brother," Lin Gui silently asked the system in his mind.

Can ghost letters be included in the reward system?

【Ding! 】

The system notification tone sounded quickly, with a steady tone:

Acceptable shipping intentions detected.

[Does the host wish to begin searching for pending emails within the 'Blackwater City' area?]

Lin Gui understood.

Since we can get a reward...

What reason is there to refuse?

Although the client is a bit special.

They are a group of ghosts.

He looked into Troy's large, expectant eyes, which seemed to sparkle.

Helplessly, he pointed to his eyes, which still gleamed with a grayish light.

"But your uncle..."

"It seems like I've scared them away."

"Now they're avoiding me."

"fine!"

Troy floated a little higher, full of confidence.

"I have a way to make them believe you're not a ghost-catching messenger from the underworld!"

Lin Gui asked curiously, "What method?"

Troy stood with his hands on his hips, a "I'm so smart" expression on his face:

"I'll tell them about 'you having a baby with an elf'!"

"Prove that you are a living person with the desire to have children!"

Lin Gui's face turned black instantly.

"Wait! Come back!"

Just as Troy turned around, it tried to float away for "publicity".

Lin Gui reacted quickly and grabbed the glass bead that was floating in mid-air!

"Huh?!"

Troy's flight path came to an abrupt end.

The entire bead trembled slightly in Lin Gui's hand, like a small animal whose neck was being pinched.

"Let's try a different approach."

Lin Gui spoke slowly and deliberately, his tone filled with unwavering resolve.

"Don't even think about using that kind of 'method'."

"Well……"

The bead quieted down in his hand, emitting a Trojan-like groan of distress.

"Then... what should we do...?"

"They're really afraid of your eyes..."

"I'm actually quite scared too."

At that moment, Eve took a small step forward.

A knowing glint flashed in her purple eyes as she spoke softly:

"Troy, I have a few questions."

"Among the current 'residents' of Blackwater City..."

How many people were believers in the Church of Light during their lifetime?

Troy blinked and thought for a moment.

"Quite a few. Uncle Clooney is a monk."

"There are also some aunties and grandfathers who used to go to church often."

Eve nodded, then asked:

"Among them... are there any real priests?"

"Yes!" Troy said confidently, "Although not many, there are several."

Eve smiled slightly and turned to Lin Gui.

"Then things will be easier."

Her voice was clear and bright, carrying a gentle yet resolute strength that belonged to a saint.

"I can--"

"In the capacity of the contemporary Holy Maiden of Light."

"To personally 'bear witness' for all believers in Blackwater."

"Prove that you, Lin Gui, are not a messenger from the underworld."

"But they were entrusted by them to help convey their longing..."

"messenger."
