Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Chapter 397 I, Elvia, am the most beautiful of all.

The thirteenth day of my stay in Deadwood Town.

It was also the last day.

Lin Gui still hadn't seen the person who was supposed to sign for the supplies.

The system made a special request, but no notification of completion came.

However, the weekly quest I delivered from Watchtower to Deadwood Town had already passed its time limit and the reward was being automatically calculated.

Previously, there was a seven-day time limit, but since Lin Gui entered Dragonbone City, the time limit has been extended to sixteen days.

Including the time I spent crossing the forbidden area, today is the last day.

[Ding! Mail retrieval initiated...]

[There are 7 days left until the search period ends.]

[Do you want to end the search early?]

Lin Gui glanced at the system panel.

Hemostasis.

Although he desperately needed a healing method, even if he maxed out his proficiency with this magic, the healing effect would not be as good as a single herb he bought.

It's pretty much useless.

The other mid-level spell, Static Perception, is also considered rather useless.

If his proficiency is insufficient, by the time he begins to sense the spell, the enemy's magic will already be upon him.

Electric magic always has the fastest attack speed.

So the only useful thing is the 300 magic points reward.

Lin Gui sighed.

Each node adds 300 magic power. Based on the gap between himself and the extraordinary level, he needs to send 16 more nodes to break through.

If you encounter a simple path, you might not even get three hundred.

Just as Lin Gui was secretly troubled, his arm suddenly sank into something soft.

Elvia, dressed up at some point, appeared before him.

She released Lin Gui's hand and took a step back.

It spun around in front of him.

Her long, golden hair shone like flowing honey in the sunlight, the ends curling slightly with an unintentional arc.

She wore a light blue long dress today, with a neckline that was just right, revealing her delicate collarbone.

The waist is cinched tightly, outlining a slender waistline.

The skirt hem reached her ankles, swaying gently as she walked, like a lake surface touched by a breeze.

She wore light makeup, with her eyebrows drawn and her lips lightly rouged.

The eyelashes curled up, casting a small fan-shaped shadow under the eyes.

She looks like she stepped out of a painting.

She smiled alluringly at Lin Gui:

"how?"

Lin Gui sized him up for a while.

Then say:

"I'd say... 90 points."

Elvia raised an eyebrow:

"Wow, a perfect score?"

Lin Gui shrugged:

"one hundred."

He looked at Elvia and said very sincerely:

"You are indeed very beautiful, there's no doubt about that."

Elvia's lips curled up.

She had heard far too many compliments about her beauty.

From a rising knight, from a young master from a powerful family.

She heard those words and forgot them immediately; they never left a trace in her heart.

Only the praise from the man in front of her made her feel as sweet as honey.

I can somewhat understand the princess in those fairy tales who becomes brain-dead after falling in love.

Her eyes sparkled with a smile.

Then she smiled slyly and asked:

"How does that compare to that half-demon?"

Lin Gui smiled contemptuously:

"Are you sure you want to compete with Shia to see who's more beautiful?"

"Ask yourself honestly, between you and Shia, who is more beautiful?"

The sweet feeling that had just flooded my heart vanished in an instant.

Elvia's face immediately fell.

She stared speechlessly at Lin Gui, that clueless guy.

Shea was well aware of her own beauty.

She was confident that she was more beautiful than even the fairies, who were known for their beauty.

But Sia's beauty was top-tier even among elves, which made Elvia jealous from time to time.

"Couldn't you just give me a perfunctory answer?"

Her tone was displeased.

"Look at other two-timing playboys, don't they all praise the woman in front of them as the most beautiful, instead of saying that his other women are more beautiful?"

Lin Gui pondered for a while.

Then, in a strange tone, he said to Elvia:

"You won't believe it, but it's not that I'm a jerk, it's just that Shia told me to find a few more..."

And he was very serious about it. Lin Gui could see that desire to connect more with someone who had been lonely for so long.

He used to be like that too, desperately needing to find an anchor for his existence in this world.

When he found it, the anchor point had already been destroyed.

Lin Gui's expression was very serious.

Elvia's lips twitched.

Having gone through the ordeal of drugging Lin Gui with Xia, she simply couldn't refute it.

Moreover, Lin Gui's repressed and lewd demeanor doesn't seem to be the hallmark of a scumbag.

While that's the logic, Elvia still has to teach this guy who got the benefit but is now acting innocent a lesson.

Two stunning beauties have fallen for you, and you're still trying to shirk responsibility.

She raised her hand and elbowed Lin Gui in the ribs.

"boom--"

It's gorgeous.

Lin Gui bent down and coughed.

Elvia snorted coldly:

"A scumbag is a scumbag."

"You still have the nerve to talk back?"

"When you get into my bed, are you thinking about other women?"

Lin Gui coughed for a while, then said speechlessly:

"When the hell did I ever sleep in your bed?"

"Damn it, you're not the one going up..."

Elvia's eyes sharpened.

Stare at him like you're judging a heartless scumbag.

Lin Gui fell silent.

Then, resignedly, he said:

"Okay, I was wrong."

"I shouldn't be so 'sentimental'."

"My dear Elvia."

Elvia nodded in satisfaction.

Then she reached out and helped him up.

"Let's go."

"I'm going to have a good time today."

She took his arm, and they walked out of the post office together.

The sunlight shone on the two people, casting long shadows on the ground.

The two stepped out of the post office and walked towards the main street.

The date began.

Elvia asked curiously:

"Did Shia really tell you to bring a few more women back with you?"

Lin Gui sighed:

"yes."

Elvia asked:

"So you targeted me first?"

Lin Gui stared speechlessly at the innocent-looking Elvia.

I really want to say to this guy who forced himself on me three times, who's after whom?

But what's done is done.

He still said against his will:

"yes."

"She has prepared a room for you in Avalon."

She said, "That's my home, and yours."

Elvia keenly noticed that word.

"Them?"

She raised an eyebrow.

She tightened her grip on Lin Gui's hand.

"Does that mean I'm not the only one?"

Lin Gui did not hide anything.

They were also unafraid of Elvia's increasingly tighter threats.

He smiled and said:

"yes."

"And, Elvia, you're third."

Elvia raised an eyebrow, feeling insulted.

She asked in a cold voice:

"Who is the second person ahead of me?"

Lin Gui winced in pain and gritted his teeth, saying:

"you guess."

"You've actually met her before."

Elvia was taken aback.

My brain quickly searched my memory, and soon, a beautiful figure with long, light golden hair and closed eyes appeared in my mind.

She instinctively released her grip and asked in surprise:

"The Saintess... Eve?"

Lin Gui breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"yes."

"Shea specifically instructed me to take down Eve."

"As for Elvia, Shia doesn't seem to have given any details."

He smiled, intending to see what Elvia's expression would be.

However, Elvia turned to look at Lin Gui with a serious expression.

"Yes, that's fine with her."

"I fully support it."

Elvia's answer surprised Lin Gui.

He raised an eyebrow.

"You were just upset that there was a woman ahead of you in line."

"How come now..."

Elvia interrupted him:

"Because that woman can be a great help."

She paused.

"It's even more helpful to you than I could be."

Her tone was calm, as if she were analyzing a business matter.

"Akara's only three prophetic spells."

"The saint herself possessed exceptional talent as a priest."

"And the broadened horizons and network of connections gained through the Church of Light."

"This will be a huge help to you."

She looked at Lin Gui.

"I've been following you all this way, and that's how I found out."

"Your abilities have a huge flaw: you lack magic."

"And the saintess can perfectly make up for this shortcoming."

She paused.

"Moreover, we have a very fatal weakness about her."

"Worthy of complete trust."

Lin Gui raised an eyebrow.

"You don't mind?"

"You mind?"

Elvia gave a sarcastic smile.

"If it were a golden age..."

"Perhaps there are naive princesses in castles who resent not being able to possess the heart of the man they love alone."

"but……"

"This is a post-apocalyptic city-state."

"It's an era where people eat people."

Her voice carried a detached indifference, as if she had seen through the ways of the world.

"In order to gain more power..."

"My father had far more than just a few concubines."

"But hundreds."

"Everyone has intertwined interests."

Even my mother…

"He married her to curry favor with the wealthy businessman behind his mother."

"If he didn't do that..."

"Don't use anything that can be used..."

"Death awaits him."

She turned her head and looked at Lin Gui.

"In this era, ethics have long since collapsed."

"Family, romantic, friendship..."

"Neither survival nor power matters."

"As long as I can expand my influence..."

Her voice softened.

"I'd love to see the man I love conquer the women who are to my advantage."

She looked at Lin Gui, her eyes shining.

"Especially you."

"Lin Gui"

Elvia's voice echoed through the streets.

She held her head high, her golden hair gleaming in the sunlight.

Those eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

"Even if you're unwilling..."

"No matter how much you despise powerful women..."

"I sincerely hope you can let go of your so-called emotions."

"Go and win over any woman who can help you."

Her tone left no room for argument.

"The enemy you will face..."

"Compared to the bloody power struggle I faced between my brothers and sisters..."

"One is God."

"One is a bedbug in the ground."

She paused.

"Don't worry."

"No matter how many women you end up with..."

"I'll help you suppress them."

She stood there, like a confident, radiant sculpture.

Passersby couldn't help but take a second look, then quickly looked away.

"That idiot Shia doesn't understand the subtle power struggles between women at all."

"And the saintess has been known throughout history for her purity, like a lotus."

She gave a cold laugh.

"And only me..."

"The most beautiful royal jewel in the former Carter capital..."

"At countless banquets, I exposed and retaliated against those lioness princesses who only knew how to rely on their parents and rich kids to set traps!"

"Only then can you keep your future bunch of little bitches in check."

Her eyes were full of fighting spirit, as if she was about to start a fight at any moment.

The excitement in her eyes seemed even more intense than that of Xia, making her eager to see Lin Gui, that other woman who didn't even exist.

Lin Gui's lips twitched as he looked at her arrogant demeanor.

Who exactly did I offend?

He sighed, reached out, and grabbed Elvia's slender wrist.

"I'm gone."

He took her hand and walked towards the bustling town center.

If Elvia continues to harp on this topic, she'll probably start scouting out which woman is worth seducing and dragging into a rebellion with Lin Gui.

Elvia was being pulled along, and her steps became unsteady.

But the curve of his lips never disappeared.

She turned her head to look at Lin Gui's profile.

Sunlight fell on his black hair, casting a small shadow on his forehead.

Elvia smiled and walked up to Lin Gui first.

She reached out and grabbed his wrist.

"Okay—"

"How would a country bumpkin like you know what rich people do?"

Her tone carried a sense of pride, like an older sister showing her younger brother the world.

"It's best if your older sister takes you around and lets you see the world."

After saying that, she pulled Lin Gui along and walked straight to the street corner.

Then, we entered a luxurious wooden building.
