Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?
Chapter 39 Star Book
For the next few days, the post office became deserted.
Not only the post office, but even the main street where the post office is located is deserted.
Because the city of Karan has changed.
A change of regime in every sense of the word.
Princess Elvia, who had disappeared for several days, suddenly summoned all the citizens of the city.
They issued one groundbreaking decree after another.
Like a boulder thrown into stagnant water, it instantly turned the entire city of Karan upside down.
Confiscating the property of the nobility who had committed illegal acts.
They hired high-ranking adventurers and mercenaries at great expense to rebuild the police station.
All the outrageous taxes were abolished.
Many outlaws who violated the law and oppressed civilians were arrested.
Numerous policies benefiting ordinary people at the bottom of society were quickly implemented...
When these policies were first implemented, they met with fierce opposition from local gentry and minor nobles in Karan.
However, just a few days later, all the opposition miraculously disappeared.
Because those who opposed the most vehemently disappeared one by one through mysterious means.
According to Her Highness's public statement.
It was she who dispatched the "Knights" to "invite" these "meritorious subjects of Kalan" to the capital to enjoy a life of luxury.
Nobody believed this nonsense.
But this swift and decisive method of making someone disappear into thin air completely shocked all those with ulterior motives.
Elvia's prestige reached an unprecedented peak amidst fear and the gratitude of the common people.
Just when everyone thought that this ruthless princess would lead Karan into a new era.
Without any warning, she handed over the position of city lord to Carlos, a mid-level official in Kalan known for his good governance.
A few days later, outside the post office.
Amidst the occasional whispered praises of the "former city lord" from the passing commoners, Elvia stepped into the post office once again.
The gentle, approachable smile on his face vanished the moment the door closed, replaced by an extremely gloomy expression.
She walked up to Lin Gui and slammed the thick, old book heavily onto the counter.
"I've done everything you asked."
"Carlos is a kind-hearted man, and he is capable enough to serve as the lord of Kalan City."
"OK."
Lin Gui nodded, put away the book, and casually tossed it into an open wooden box next to him.
The wooden box floated up, wobbling slightly, and landed steadily in the center of the room...
On the small boat that looks like a simple wooden raft?
Shea was using sturdy hemp ropes to secure wooden crates filled with letters and supplies to the raft.
A moment of silence followed.
A hint of nervousness flashed across Elvia's face.
Finally, unable to hold back any longer, he spoke in a dry voice:
"What...is your connection to the 'Spark Revolution' two years ago?"
Shea paused in tying the rope, then turned her head in confusion.
"Spark Revolution? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before..."
Elvia, however, just stared intently at Lin Gui, as if trying to read something out of his face.
That book is called "The Book of Celestial Stars".
After that day, she skimmed through it once, and afterwards, her back was covered in cold sweat.
The policy ideas contained therein are exceptionally good.
It has an astonishingly insightful understanding of the contradictions between different classes and the social, political, and livelihood issues of the city-state era, and its insights are highly feasible.
She believes that as long as those in power implement these policies.
The city-state will surely usher in unprecedented prosperity and order, and hunger and poverty will be greatly reduced.
but!
In any city-state, this "Celestial Star Register" could never be implemented!
Because it fundamentally and thoroughly shook the interests of the nobility and those in high positions!
When implementing those policies.
Her hands were trembling, fearing that an assassin would jump out of the shadows and kill her at any moment.
As it turned out, the assassin did not come.
Everyone who showed any sign of opposition was silenced by this guy in front of them.
He floated into the mansion openly and honestly, knocked it down with a brick, and then floated out of Kalan City openly and honestly, throwing it directly to feed the demon!
Yes, they fed it directly to the demon without the slightest hesitation.
Many people were identified by him, with Elvia being "led" along!
She watched helplessly as this guy committed this monstrous act.
Then he watched as he expressionlessly handed over the astonishing wealth that had been confiscated and piled up like a mountain.
He gave it all to himself for the construction of Kalan.
This guy really has absolutely no liking for nobles.
Prove it with actions.
He wished he could cut off the heads of all the nobles and feed them to the pigs.
"Glug."
Elvia swallowed hard, even regretting asking the question.
Because she herself was a member of the nobility, and one of the very elite.
She was really afraid that if Lin Gui got angry, he would drag her along to feed the demons too.
The other party coldly watched as the nobles screamed and were torn apart by demons.
A faint, cold smile played at the corners of his lips.
It's etched in her mind forever; she'll probably never forget it in her lifetime.
But she couldn't help asking.
Because of the contents of this "Celestial Star Book".
It was too easy for her to think of the "Spark Revolution" that shocked the entire city-state alliance two years ago and was ultimately bloodily suppressed.
If the other party really is one of them...
Elvia simply couldn't imagine how tragic her future would be.
Lin Gui raised his head and glanced at her indifferently.
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Upon hearing this, Elvia was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
But then Lin Gui added slowly, with a slight smile on his face.
"I just bought some things for them."
Elvia: "???"
Her lips twitched violently.
Buying things? What are you buying? Could it be...?
She suddenly remembered the bottle of "Devil's Kiss" that had caused her unbearable pain!
Seeing Elvia's face turn deathly pale, Lin Gui smiled and said nothing more.
What he didn't tell Elvia was...
He not only helped buy the bottle of poison that was never used, but also named their revolution.
Even in theory, the Celestial Register that sparked the revolution was perfected by him.
But he was not a part of that revolution.
A petite figure appeared in his mind, and Lin Gui sighed.
I wonder if that guy is still alive.
Now that Elvia has arrived and Karan's matter has been settled, Lin Gui has no intention of delaying any longer.
It's time to head to the next stop, the capital of Carter.
In his mind, the countdown for the system's search had just reached zero.
The crisp notification sound rang out as scheduled.
[Weekly committee members have been updated!]

"May my longing traverse the desolation and reach beneath the crown."
Lin Gui took a deep breath and gripped his staff tightly.
His gaze drifted out the window.
It was as if we had already crossed the towering walls of Karan and seen that even wider and more dangerous wilderness.
