Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

And as Grom said.

At this critical juncture, when things are extremely urgent, the Fortress Master still has the leisure to engage in roundabout and indirect conversations with Lin Gui, delaying getting to the point.

The main reason is the issue of saving face.

He was willing to pay any price for the safety of Shield City.

but……

Ask a high-ranking mage for help?

Is it... too...?

He was, after all, an epic master.

Although he is usually approachable and kind, he still retains the pride of a master.

Moreover, the other party has helped me on many occasions.

Whether it was sending a reply to the Stoneheart dwarves.

He'd rather keep his priceless barrier stone.

Or perhaps they could get enough Blackwater Stones from the Blackwater Forest to bombard the Magic Crystal Cannon for a whole day.

It can be said that, putting aside his identity, Lin Gui has helped him many times.

For a moment, the fortress lord couldn't bring himself to say it.

Try to persuade someone who has helped you many times.

To take great risks for something that doesn't really matter.

He couldn't bring himself to say it.

So, after meeting Lin Gui again and exchanging a few pleasantries, Bahrain was left in an awkward position.

He opened his mouth, as if to say something.

Then it closed again.

He opened his mouth again.

In the end, he didn't say anything.

He just stood there, his gaze unfocused.

He would look at the ceiling, then at the letter on the counter, then at his own boots.

The dwarves behind them also fell silent in unison.

Grom looked down and picked at his nails.

Some of the others were looking at the wall, some at the ground, and some were staring at the doorway, seemingly lost in thought.

Only Barna, who didn't quite understand the help the Forest Spirits had given to the dwarves, was anxious.

The sound of gunfire could be heard continuously from the post office.

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Inside the post office, the atmosphere was extremely eerie.

Lin Gui frowned slightly as he looked at the group of dwarves who had suddenly fallen silent.

His gaze swept over Bahrain's conflicted face and over Grom's fingernail-picking motion.

There was a few seconds of silence.

Then he spoke.

"You...do you need something from me?"

Bahrain's expression froze for a moment.

He opened his mouth.

"this……"

Then it closed again.

Scratched his head.

"that is……"

I still can't bring myself to say it.

He turned his head and looked behind him as if seeking help.

Barna looked at him, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.

Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer.

Take a step forward.

"Fine, if you can't say it, Lord Fortress, I'll do it."

He looked at Lin Gui and took a deep breath.

We need your help.

He paused.

"Help us do something."

"Very dangerous."

His voice trailed off when he said the word "danger".

The initial surge of energy suddenly stalled at that moment.

because.

The levitation spell, which was cast without incantation, concealed everything, causing him to subconsciously ignore it.

Even if there really are mages who can cast levitation spells without chanting.

This only solved a small part of the enormous difficulties.

How could he, who was controlling a massive amount of supplies to fly, be safely delivered to an island dozens of kilometers away?

That's the biggest problem.

The sea surface stretches for tens of kilometers.

An overwhelming horde of demons.

Countless eyes are watching.

Once entangled, even a high-ranking demon could wear them down.

Even with the fortress lord clearing the way, they were almost worn down by that endless horde of creatures.

Even with the Levitation spell, without a legendary or higher-level stealth mage to escort you...

This is almost impossible to solve.

Barna choked up halfway through her sentence.

He looked at Lin Gui, this young human, and for a moment didn't know how to continue.

Lin Gui looked at his hesitant expression, then glanced at the constipated fortress lord beside him.

He raised an eyebrow slightly.

He pointed to himself.

"help?"

"You need my help?"

There was something strange about his voice.

In this situation, what help can my high-level strength provide?

Even if the dust explosion caused by Mirror City could be recreated, it would only clear out some of the smaller enemies.

For those legendary, epic demons, it's utterly useless.

After thinking about it, there's only one possibility left.

He looked at Barna.

"Do you want me to leave with a few people?"

Barna shook his head.

"No, it's carrying some things..."

He suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

wrong.

He suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Lin Gui.

Those eyes were wide open, as if they had suddenly discovered some earth-shattering secret.

"wrong!!"

He shouted.

"You!! You."

He pointed at Lin Gui, his fingers trembling.

"How did you get in?!"

Lin Gui was taken aback.

"They slipped in while you were fighting outside after tearing open the barrier."

He answered casually, his expression natural.

Barna's voice grew louder.

That's not what I meant!

He practically yelled it out.

"I mean, how the hell did you get in here from that pile of demons?!"

"Outside lies a sea of ​​demons!!"

"Don't even mention legendary transport teams, even epic ones can't do that!"

His spittle flew everywhere, and a few drops landed on Lin Gui's face.

Lin Gui was stunned for a moment.

Then, he silently raised his hand and wiped the saliva off his face with his sleeve.

The movements were slow and natural.

His expression was slightly speechless; even now, he still couldn't get used to the dwarf's loud voice.

"It's not that exaggerated."

He said.

"By observing the gaps in the perception between epic demons, even a legendary assassin can slip in from the outside."

Barna stared at him as if he were a madman.

He pointed at Lin Gui, his voice trembling.

"But you're just a high-level mage!!"

Lin Gui fell silent.

He silently wiped the remaining saliva from his face again.

Then, he looked up and looked at Barna helplessly.

"This is a little personal secret of mine."

He paused, then looked around.

The dwarves around them, after being reminded by Barna, were all stunned.

Shocked faces and wide-eyed stares were all fixed on him.

Lin Gui continued:

"Anyway, I was able to get in safely..."

He paused.

"We can... get out safely."

He frowned slightly as he watched the dwarves' reaction.

"Don't you know about this ability of mine?"

Barna was stunned.

He turned his head sharply and looked at Bahrain.

This dwarf is most familiar with the black-haired human before him.

Bahrain opened his mouth.

"Do we...know?"

There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Lin Gui raised an eyebrow.

"Didn't I bring you Blackwater Stones from the Blackwater Forest all by myself?"

Mentioning this incident instantly brought it to mind for the surrounding dwarves.

This matter sparked widespread discussion in Shield City at the time.

If it weren't for the fortress lord and Grom saying it themselves, no dwarf would have believed it.

A high-level mage smuggled out enough Blackwater Stone from the Blackwater Forest to bombard the area with magic crystal cannons for a day.

That place is a forbidden zone that even legends dare not easily set foot in.

The dwarven pillars all turned to look at the fortress lord.

Bahrain's expression became even stranger.

He scratched his head.

"Didn't you get it by using the speed of your little boat?"

Lin Gui stared at him speechlessly.

"The airship is fast, but the speed of a speed-type epic demon is not much different."

He paused.

"Am I tired of living? Flying naked past an epic demon?"

Although he did fly past the epic demon right in front of him.

But that was because of the protection of the Night Veil.

While it cannot completely obscure the perception of epic demons, it can weaken its own presence.

And just as the epic demon realized what was happening and was about to give chase...

He's already slipped away.

Bahrain looked at him, his brow furrowed.

"So... how did you do that?"

Lin Gui opened his mouth.

Then, he said calmly:

"That's my personal secret."

He paused.

"In short, Lord Balin, what is it that you have come to see me at such a critical juncture?"

Since Lin Gui was the first to point it out.

Bahrain could only sigh.

A complex emotion flashed across that resolute face.

He remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he spoke with difficulty.
