Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

The next day, Lin Gui woke up.

He was lying on the sofa with a blanket covering him.

The clothes were still there, and the robes were neatly worn.

Lin Gui paused for a few seconds, then let out a long breath.

His innocence has been preserved.

He sat up and rubbed his still throbbing forehead.

Recalling last night's experience, I was momentarily at a loss for words to express my feelings.

Who would have thought that he would be taken down by his companions a second time?

He was seriously injured, and instead of taking care of him, that guy was thinking about sleeping with him.

The greatest danger I've faced along the way has actually come from my own companions?

I treated you as companions, but you always wanted to sleep with me?

On the other side, the sound of someone turning over came from the bed.

Elvia wasn't asleep at all.

She lay on her side in bed, her eyes fixed on the light streaming through the gap in the curtains.

My mind was racing all night.

She thought about it a lot.

Lin Gui could indeed satisfy her material needs and her desire for security.

As long as you follow him, money and safety are not a problem.

but……

His identity is terrifying.

It was so terrifying that she had a fleeting thought of leaving last night.

If you get involved with him in a real way, if he dies at the hands of his enemies.

She won't live much longer either.

Just sleeping with him, just having physical relations, would make your life tied to his.

Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?

No.

As the former ruler of the Carter capital.

Elvia was very clear

This is no exaggeration at all.

This wouldn't be a big deal for anyone else.

But unfortunately, her target was Lin Gui.

This is the man who plans to reignite the Spark Revolution.

Anyone who gets involved in a revolution that attempts to shake up the entire city-state system.

They will all be hunted down by the alliance at any cost.

Hunt down everyone connected to them.

And there was nowhere to hide from their pursuit.

Torture? Tracking?

No.

All they need to do is use the Soul Mage.

Through divination, soul tracking, and bloodline tracing.

You can find the enemy's blood relatives, family members, and...

A woman you've slept with.

When they come together, their souls begin to merge.

This then created a connection that only a spirit mage could see.

And they can also use this connection to find the person they are connected to.

That's why Lin Gui warned her not to cross the line.

If he fails, Elvia has no doubt.

Even if he didn't actually help Lin Gui get revenge.

Even if she only slept with him once, she would cut off all contact with him and become strangers.

Even if he had to escape to the deep mountains of the far north to hide.

The Black Dragon Army would travel tens of thousands of kilometers to capture her and then send her to the gallows.

This is not a joke; it is a fact that has already happened.

After Lin Gui left Carter's capital.

She made a point of learning about the revolution that shook the entire city.

The Alliance Parliament seemed intent on issuing a warning, and did not try to hide it much.

So she witnessed that purge, which was nothing short of hell.

The impact extended beyond the three revolutionary cities.

Rather, it refers to the entire continent of Akara.

Everyone who has any connection to those three cities.

Even in remote city-states tens of thousands of kilometers away, the Black Dragon Army will come knocking on their door.

They were then taken to the fire site.

The Spark Revolution in three cities resulted in a million deaths.

And the number of people killed by its radiation is well over a million.

I remember back then, all the brothels were wiped out.

It seems that it's because someone with a spark once frequented that place.

This led to the prostitutes who solicited customers being labeled as having connections.

He was then mercilessly sent to the gallows.

Lin Gui was the only survivor of that revolution.

He knew better than anyone how terrifying and cruel his opponent was.

But he still intends to ignite a spark.

Elvia had no idea where Lin Gui got his confidence from.

But last night, I recalled the hellish scenes I had seen in the news reports.

She admitted that she was scared.

He couldn't guarantee her safety.

Because he himself was like a moth drawn to a flame.

How could a high-level mage possibly shake the massive alliance that had united the entire doomsday city-state?

Lin Gui is destined to pay the price with his life for his overestimation of his revenge.

Following him and forming a bond with him will only lead to certain death.

Elvia is certain of this.

A rustling sound came from nearby.

Elvia turned her head.

Lin Gui had already put on his robes, picked up his oak staff, and was ready to leave.

She hesitated for a moment, a fear of abandonment welling up inside her. She coughed and asked:

"Um...where are you going?"

Lin Gui turned his head and looked at her.

"Go get medical treatment."

"I also plan to build a post office in Dragonbone City."

He looked out from the balcony at the towering Dragonbone Mountains in the distance.

"A... post office that should be a bit bigger."

After saying that, he looked at Elvia and suggested:

"I will be staying in Dragonbone City for a long time."

"Take this time to think carefully about your future."

"Elvia".

Elvia gave a bitter smile.

"Is it really that heartless?"

"At least I gave you my first kiss last night."

"Besides, we had a period of camaraderie."

"You even risked your life to enter the Black Tide to save me."

Lin Gui countered:

"Would you like to cross the wilderness with me to deliver a message?"

"On the way to Avalon, there are the Silent Sea and the Wailing Wall, these infamous forbidden lands."

"It's far more terrifying than that little forest you led me to escape from."

"Sia, Miss Saint, and I almost died there several times."

"And my next delivery route is even more dangerous than the one to Avalon."

He paused for a moment.

"For example... the red desert."

Elvia's pupils contracted.

The Red Earth Desert, the most terrifying forbidden area on the eastern edge of the borderlands.

They all held a very terrifying status within the forbidden area.

Elvia asked, puzzled:

"Why did you deliver the letter? Where did you send it?"

If she remembered correctly, there were basically no living people left there.

Lin Gui smiled.

"That's my personal secret."

He wasn't trying to send a message to the Red Desert.

His true final destination was to cross the red desert and return to Karan.

He needs to confirm the situation in Karan.

And figure out how it survived near the core of the Kuroshio outbreak.

Could it be that there's another Katarina buried underneath?

The city of Karan is about his revenge.

If possible, he hoped his revenge plan, originally based in Karan, could proceed as planned.

Now, the only way to return to Karan City is to go east around the magic city and then west across the red desert.

He followed the route he took years ago to the magical city, returning to the New Testament, returning to Karan.

This is the only possible route back to Karan.

The only thing separating the frontier from Dragonbone City is the Dragonbone Mountain Range.

However, the height of the Dragon Bone Mountains already made crossing it a death sentence.

That altitude was well above the no-fly zone.

Moreover, the Dragonbone Mountains are too long and narrow, stretching all the way to the City of a Thousand Towers.

The route that normally led into the borderlands from the west has now been flooded by the Black Tide.

Even after the Kuroshio Current subsides, it will still take several months.

Therefore, if he wants to return to Karan, he must walk the same path he once took.

Lin Gui looked at Elvia.

"Think it through carefully."

"Following me will only put you in greater danger."

"You can live a very comfortable life on your own, Elvia, with your own abilities."

He turned around, pushed open the door, and walked out.
