Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Lin Gui looked up and was met with Elvia's charming and dazzling smile.

Golden strands of hair shimmered in the sunlight.

His eyes, like molten gold, held just the right amount of friendliness and authority.

He paused for a moment, his eyes momentarily unfocused.

It was as if I was dazzled by that overly radiant smile.

His eyes suppressed a long-lost sense of anticipation.

He resumed his placid, expressionless demeanor.

He pointed to the long, winding line outside the post office that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The voice was so flat it sounded like a statement that the weather was nice today.

"Please line up, thank you."

Elvia's flawless smile froze.

She followed Lin Gui's finger and turned to look outside the door.

Those ordinary people who were originally looking around curiously and whispering among themselves.

The moment he met the princess's gaze, he felt as if he had been doused with ice water, and cold sweat poured down his face.

The crowd seemed to be cleaved apart by an invisible blade, and instantly retreated in panic to both sides.

The long queue that was originally packed with people was cleared out in just a few breaths!

Elvia's smile returned to normal.

She gracefully took a step to the right and precisely positioned herself in the place where she was originally the first person in the group.

"Now."

She slightly raised her chin, her smile flawless.

"May I hear my request now, you messenger mage from the City of the New Testament?"

At the post office entrance, next to the head of a curious civilian peeking in.

Another elven face with white fur, red eyes, and pointed ears emerged.

Shia frowned, her crimson eyes like those of a most wary predator.

They kept a close watch on this uninvited member of the royal family.

"The recipient's name, address, and physical characteristics."

Lin Gui lowered his eyes, picked up a quill pen, and asked in a formulaic manner.

It was as if he were just an ordinary customer.

The princess smiled gently, parted her red lips slightly, and fluently recited a string of information.

"Carter's capital, rebel leader, Caesar."

"The address is the 'Dice and Blood' underground casino."

"As for his appearance... he's a homeless man who's blind in one eye and has a missing leg."

Lin Gui paused, his hand holding the pen pausing. He looked up, frowning as he stared at her.

Then, he extended his hand, his tone remaining calm and indifferent.

"Pay."

Elvia was clearly taken aback.

She had anticipated all sorts of reactions from the other party.

Shock, fear, rejection, or even immediate retaliation.

The only thing I didn't expect was that it would be described in such a businesslike way.

It felt like punching empty air with all your might, leaving her feeling a tightness in her chest.

She quickly composed herself, covered her lips with a silk glove, and let out a ladylike chuckle.

"Haha, of course it's all a joke. How could a member of the royal family possibly have any contact with a rebel leader?"

She leaned forward slightly, her voice low and alluring.

"Actually, rather than sending letters, I'd rather have a private chat with Master Lin Gui in a romantic candlelit restaurant, just for the two of us."

"Click!"

At the doorway, Shia unconsciously tightened her left hand.

She crushed the hardwood door frame with her bare hands!

Wood chips fell in a soft rustling sound.

Lin Gui seemed not to have heard the sound.

He simply raised his hand, making a clear gesture of refusal.

"Sorry, I'm very busy and don't have time."

The princess's smile froze again, and her eye twitched uncontrollably.

She glanced at the post office from the corner of her eye.

Those ordinary people who, though afraid to approach, still craned their necks to look around.

He suppressed his anger.

She suddenly leaned forward, almost whispering in Lin Gui's ear.

In a voice only the two of them could hear, she spoke softly yet coldly:

"I know what you did in the Black Demon Forest. If you don't want to die, I suggest you do as I say~"

After saying that, she gracefully sat back down in her seat.

His face softened again, as if the threat he had just uttered was merely a lover's whisper.

"how?"

Lin Gui seemed not to hear.

He was tidying up the scattered letters on the table, completely ignoring her.

Just as the princess's smile was about to crumble, Lin Gui spoke.

"Are you planning to call that legendary knight back?"

He paused, then finally looked up.

His gaze swept over the princess's alluring figure, with an undisguised scrutiny.

"Just based on your... hmm, high-level strength?"

"Are you confident you can cross the entire wilderness and call that knightly order back?"

The princess's smile vanished completely.

The fact that the other party dared to reappear suggests that they were well-prepared.

She clenched her fists so tightly her nails almost dug into her palms, and her voice was forced out through clenched teeth:

"As the lord of Kalan, I have the authority to mobilize the city's defense forces to arrest you! Even if I have no evidence!"

Lin Gui responded with a sneer, a laugh filled with icy sarcasm.

The other party's reaction was exactly what Lin Gui had expected, and he even felt relieved about it.

"Look, you so-called noble and supreme people like to do this."

"What a coincidence, I'm the same kind of person as you."

"I don't need to see whether you are good or evil."

"When you ordered my arrest."

Before he finished speaking, a chilling killing intent shot out like a tangible arrow.

In an instant, the camera focused on the princess's brow from the direction of Shia at the doorway!

The princess felt a chill on the back of her neck, as if she would be pierced through at any moment!

Lin Gui's voice continued softly, yet carried an undeniable cruelty:

"Shea's arrow will pierce your head and send you to the candlelight party you wanted with the previous city lord."

"Aren't you afraid that the knights of the capital will retaliate against you because of this?!"

The princess's voice was slightly shrill with shock and anger.

Lin Gui seemed to have heard an amusing joke, a cold smile curving his lips.

"Let's not even talk about whether you can do it."

Even if it were possible.

He paused, and an aura of indifference emanated from him.

Do you think I'm afraid?

He stared at the princess.

Deep within those eyes, which always seemed indifferent and even somewhat world-weary, a chilling darkness and madness were now surging.

He spoke softly with extreme indifference:

Please don't test my patience.

"I have absolutely no liking for royalty or nobility."

"Even when I pass by the slums every day, all I can think about is how to twist the heads off of you fat pigs who live off the people's hard-earned money, and feed you to the pigs along with your excrement."

Such filthy, violent, and treasonous words.

The fact that he said it in such a calm tone created an extremely terrifying contrast.

Elvia's face turned deathly pale instantly, and she even subconsciously took a half step back.

It was as if the person sitting before him was not a mage, but a ferocious beast from the abyss, clad in human skin.

Lin Gui suddenly leaned back, his terrifying aura instantly vanishing, and he returned to his lazy demeanor.

He even reached out and gently patted the princess's stiff hand, which still maintained a smile.

His movements were as gentle as if he were comforting a frightened animal.

"so……"

His voice also softened.

"Let's just leave each other alone and have no contact whatsoever, okay?"

"By the way... the scenery along the route from the capital to Karan City must have left a deep impression on you."
