Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

A week later.

Blackwater City, 7 Copper Coin Post Office Branch.

Second floor, living quarters.

On the bed, Lin Gui awoke from his coma.

The moment I opened my eyes, a face came close to mine.

It's Eve.

Those purple eyes held a clear concern.

"woke up?"

She asked softly.

Lin Gui blinked.

Visibility gradually improved.

He propped himself up on the edge of the bed, trying to sit up.

My body feels a bit heavy.

Eve reached out and helped him up.

Lin Gui looked around.

Familiar walls, familiar wooden ceiling.

"here it is......"

He spoke, his voice hoarse.

"The post office in Blackwater."

Eve answered.

She turned around and began fiddling with the things on the table.

Lin Gui followed her movement and looked over.

That's when I noticed it.

On the table, several glass beads were neatly arranged.

Eve was extending her finger and gently poking one of them.

The bead wobbled and rolled to the other side.

Another bead immediately rolled over and hit it.

The two beads collided and bounced away gently.

Then, more beads were added.

They rolled around on the table, as if they were playing some kind of game.

Eve's fingers moved through them.

Sometimes tap lightly, sometimes flick.

The beads rolled merrily in sync with her rhythm.

The sunlight fell on them.

The soul light flickered slightly.

Upon seeing Lin Gui awaken, the beads bounced and rolled onto the bed.

One after another, they swirled around him.

The soul's light was bright, as if it were offering words of comfort and warmth.

Lin Gui looked at them.

There was a two-second silence.

Then, he smiled slightly and said:

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

"You guys go outside and play first."

"The Holy Maiden and I have something to discuss."

The beads wobbled.

They seemed somewhat reluctant to part ways.

But in the end, she listened to him and rolled off the bed one by one.

Then it floated out of the wide-open window.

After the guests had all left, Lin Gui asked:

"How long did I sleep?"

He pressed his temples.

My head is still a little dizzy.

Eve turned her head and looked at him.

"You've been sleeping for a week now, Mr. Lin Gui."

Lin Gui was stunned.

A week?

He looked down at himself.

Do those bruises from being hit really need this long to heal?

Eve noticed his confusion and explained:

"Because Mr. Lin Gui, you have been exposed to a fog of mental pollution for a long time."

She paused.

"And this involves the soul."

"I am not a soul mage, so I cannot heal him."

"Fortunately, Miss Hannah said that she would recover naturally after resting for a while."

As for Lin Gui's injuries, they were not serious.

Most of them were superficial injuries caused by impacts, which looked scary, but Eve healed them in just a few minutes.

"What about the people I rescued?"

"What about Morpheus and the others? How are they doing?"

Eve paused for a moment.

A hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

"Their injuries...are very serious."

She softened her voice.

"Even I cannot completely cure it."

"We can only keep them alive temporarily."

She paused.

"He needs to return to Avalon for further treatment."

Lin Gui frowned slightly.

"Can they traverse the Howling Corridor?"

He remembers.

We need Guxin's guidance to get through that terrible place.

Eve looked at him and said.

"After you come out."

"A very powerful magical attack suddenly erupted from the depths of the Silent Rift."

"The Rift Abyss... has collapsed."

Lin Gui was stunned.

He looked at Eve.

In those dark eyes, the pupils contracted slightly.

Eve did not avoid his gaze.

She just watched him quietly.

Then, whisper:

"As a result, Miss Hannah was promoted and became the Demon King."

"In other words..."

"The Demon King Guxin has fallen."

Lin Gui fell silent.

He leaned against the headboard, staring at the ceiling, showing little emotion.

He just couldn't understand it.

Why did Gu Xin go to his death?

If I followed him, I could leave the Rift Abyss.

But they chose to stay there.

The explosion caused a silent chasm.

What is the purpose of this?

From beginning to end, all Lin Gui knew was that

Guxin's journey north to the Silent Rift was for the sake of demigod authority.

Jesse and his companions entered the Wailing Wall in order to seize the authority of the demigods.

Jesse and his group most likely intend to manipulate the mists of the Wailing Wall to destroy the dwarves and the elves.

This is very much in line with the style of the End of Reincarnation organization.

But what was Guxin's purpose?

Lin Gui thought about it over and over but still couldn't figure it out.

He finally sighed.

Forget it.

Regardless, he has achieved his goal.

Avalon's fighting force was preserved.

Hannah's promotion will also fill the vacancy left by the Demon King.

With them around, Shia is at least safe in Avalon.

At that moment, Eve reached out and handed him something.

It was a small object.

It is entirely black with a smooth surface.

Like a scale.

It also resembles a badge.

Lin Gui took it.

It felt slightly cool to the touch and was very light.

He looked down.

Eve said from the side:

"Miss Hannah instructed me to give this to you before she left."

She said, "Just crush this thing."

"No matter where you are, she will come to help you with the elite of Avalon."

Lin Gui looked at the scale with surprise.

The surface is plain and unremarkable.

There was no magical fluctuation.

He activated the Eyes of the Underworld.

Within the scale in their field of vision, a thin golden line appeared.

It is as fine as a hair, yet extremely dense.

It swims slowly deep within the scales.

Those are... thin threads of soul guided by the blood of the Demon King.

Lin Gui narrowed his eyes.

It seems that Hannah's advancement also came with the ability of Guxin to influence the soul.

A promise from an epic demon king: Avalonna's fighting strength far surpasses that of the capital city of Carter.

This weight is astonishing.

Lin Gui put the scale into his storage space.

Then he looked at Eve.

"Anything else?"

Eve's expression turned somewhat strange.

She took out another thing from behind her back.

He handed it to Lin Gui.

Lin Gui took it.

It is a letter.

The envelope was pure white, sealed with a secret magic seal.

There is no information on the surface.

There is no recipient.

There was no sender.

No address.

Lin Gui looked at Eve.

"This is also something Miss Hannah asked me to give to you."

Eve paused.

"She said she heard that you helped many residents deliver mail free of charge, and also helped Mr. Ashu deliver mail to Dawn."

"If you have time, please help her deliver a letter as well."

"The recipient will give you a very generous reward."

Lin Gui asked:

"Where to send it? To whom?"

Eve hesitated for a moment.

Then she spoke.

The sound was very soft.

"Demon Fortress"

The recipient is...

She paused.

"Azathoth, the Demon God".

Lin Gui was stunned.

He just held the letter and looked at Eve.

I thought I had misheard.

But Eve's expression told him the truth.

You heard right.

Demon Fortress.

Azathoth, the demon god.

That demon that brought the black tide.

That being known as the "Demon God".

Hannah asked him to deliver a letter to... the Demon God?

Lin Gui stood there, stunned.

A system notification suddenly sounded in my mind.
