This transportation contract is suspicious in every way.

Sealed goods that couldn't be inspected, that bizarre delivery method... Lin Gui could accept all of this.

However, the triggering of the system commission... made this somewhat strange, but still acceptable, transportation commission a little more complicated.

The system's special requests are not triggered randomly; they are not triggered by sending a regular email.

There's usually something special behind it.

The special request to deliver the letter to Lorna led to the request regarding the tomb of Katalia.

His subsequent survival of Katarina made him realize that a huge secret was hidden behind Katarina's tomb.

This secret could upend the entire landscape of Akalan.

The letter from Troy that he received on Avalon led him to venture deeper into the Wailing Wall, where he subsequently came into contact with the Church of the Last Reincarnation.

Their goal in collecting the Demigod Keys remains unclear to Lin Gui.

Every additional commission involves undercurrents of behind-the-scenes events.

So what is it this time?

Lin Gui closed his eyes and probed the four wooden boxes with his senses.

The magical protection was very thorough, and the technique was very skillful.

He tried to touch it gently with his magic, hoping to see if he could get around it.

However, the protection remained completely intact.

He tried several different methods, testing with different magical frequencies.

Or not.

Lin Gui opened his eyes, looked at the four wooden boxes, and remained silent for a while.

Then he gave up.

Whatever's in the cargo, he'll find out when they get to Drywood Town.

As for the potential trouble it might cause...

Lin Gui would not refuse anything that could improve his strength.

Looking at the system rewards for the extra commissions, perhaps they can make up for his second shortcoming before stepping into the extraordinary realm.

After figuring everything out, Lin Gui turned around and continued shopping for supplies.

He returned to the post office as the sun was about to set.

He used his levitation spell to move four tall wooden crates to the backyard of the post office and stacked them neatly.

After covering it with a curtain, they pushed open the back door and entered the post office.

Elvia was already waiting at the counter, surrounded by packed supplies.

There were sleeping bags, pots and pans, folding tables and chairs, clean sheets and blankets, and several thick books that looked like novels.

Lin Gui was somewhat surprised.

"I thought you would slack off, but I didn't expect you to be so diligent."

"Elvia said calmly."

"At least I've fantasized about... becoming a virtuous wife and loving mother."

Her tone was indifferent, as if she were talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

Then, her gaze subtly drifted to the corner outside the post office window.

Lin Gui knew what she meant.

The post office is being monitored.

In fact, ever since that burning at the stake, Lin Gui had discovered that he was being monitored, including when he went to the transport guild to buy maps and when he went to other places to purchase supplies.

The people monitoring him were a motley crew, including the city lord and nobles he didn't even know.

The alchemical raven, shrouded in a dark veil, had already taken notice of them.

As for their purpose in monitoring themselves...

Naturally, they wanted to see the transport convoy that had always existed but never appeared.

Now that Lin Gui and his group are about to depart, the transport team can't possibly not show up.

Most of the people monitoring the situation were eager to know which transport team the legendary mage belonged to.

To this, Lin Gui could only say...

He will show them the transport team and convince them of its existence.

By disappearing into thin air, they solidified the existence of the legendary mage.

So he was quite happy to be monitored by so many people.

Lin Gui walked over to Elvia and began to tidy up the supplies she had sorted out.

Bed, blankets, pots and pans, folding tables and chairs, and a stack of novels.

He reached out and placed his hand on it.

The next instant, those things vanished into thin air.

Elvia looked at the empty ground and her lips twitched.

She had seen it many times, but every time she saw it, she still felt... outrageous.

This was definitely not something Lin Gui hid in the Night Gauze Robe.

Instead, it disappeared somewhere, just like his absurd magic that instantly transported her thousands of kilometers.

Lin Gui did not stop.

He walked behind the counter, preparing to stuff the hundreds of letters he had received in the past two days into his storage space.

Then, his eyes sharpened instantly.

He stared at the wooden box that had recently been used to store letters.

Inside, he sensed a very faint trace of magical energy.

It was so subtle that he wouldn't have noticed it at all unless he deliberately tried to perceive it.

The letter was tampered with.

Before Lin Gui could make a move, Elvia slammed the curtains shut.

Then she squatted down, rummaged through the wooden box, pulled out a letter, and held it up to Lin Gui.

"Is this the one?"

"I felt something was off about the person who sent the letter, so I kept an eye on them."

Lin Gui was taken aback.

Elvia is quite alert; she noticed that.

Lin Gui took the letter, closed his eyes, and carefully examined it.

The magic seeped in little by little along the fibers of the envelope.

Then, he found it.

There was a very hidden magical rune engraved inside the envelope.

The rune was so small that it was almost invisible to the naked eye, embedded between the fibers of the paper, becoming one with the letter paper.

The technique was extremely skillful, and the fluctuations in magical power were very subtle.

If it weren't for Lin Gui's accumulation of dozens of fully proficient spells...

Having developed terrifying magical control abilities, he might not even be able to detect the trickery involved.

and……

Lin Gui's black eyes turned gray.

He activated his Netherworld Eyes and saw a very thin line extending from the runes, connecting to the distance.

It is soul tracking.

……

Lin Gui raised an eyebrow; this discovery instantly confirmed the other party's identity.

It was them.

Beside her, Elvia's voice was very low.

"Not long after you left... a man came to mail a letter. He was pretending to be a vagrant, and he looked very convincing."

She paused.

"But I saw a flaw, I sensed... a dangerous aura emanating from him."

Lin Gui said calmly.

"He is an censor."

Elvia was taken aback, having just picked up her water glass and taken a sip.

"puff!!"

Water sprayed out.

"What did you say?! Inspector? Are you sure?"

As a princess of the Carter Kingdom, Elvia was well aware of the terrifying power of the Inspectors.

Damn it, even her father, King Carter, had to bow before them.

How come the inspectors came knocking on my door so soon after I joined Lin Gui's team?

Elvia turned pale at the thought of how terrifying the examiner was.

Most importantly, she didn't look very patient when she was facing that guy.

Lin Gui narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"It should be correct."

"Only they... are qualified to use the precious Soul Mage."

Lin Gui flipped the envelope over and looked at the information on the front.

The envelope was made of ordinary yellow paper, not a post office envelope, and the letter information on it read...

Sender: Kwell.

Mailing address: Snake Ridge, Moonlight Valley, Forward Supply Outpost, House No. 3.

Recipient: Sivir Vera.

Looking at the recipient's name, Lin Gui's eyes sharpened as he continued.

"Only they know Sivir's full name, even though it's wrong."
