Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

The eyes of those around them darted back and forth between Lin Gui and Elvia.

They are looking.

Look for the transport team's badge.

The Transport Guild generally requires that transport teams entering and leaving the city-state must wear badges at all times.

But these two people...

There was nothing there.

It wasn't on the robe, the skirt, or the waist.

But the existence of levitation, and the almost ingratiating intimacy of the Morning Star team...

This seems to confirm that Lin Gui was a member of the transport team.

The female mage stood there, her face ashen.

She looked at the burly man who was embracing Lin Gui, and said in a low voice:

"Raymond."

"Are you planning to stand up for him?"

The burly man, Raymond, waved his hand and shook his head.

"No, no, no."

"I'm just a nobody, how could I possibly stand up for this little mage?"

He smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"However, as a former customer, I can offer you a word of advice."

He paused, then lowered his voice.

"When you reveal the power behind you..."

"The other side did not back down."

"You should know who should back down."

The female mage's pupils contracted slightly.

She stared at Raymond, then glanced at Lin Gui.

There was no expression on that young face.

His black eyes were as calm as a stagnant pool.

Her jaw clenched.

But she didn't say anything more.

He turned around, helped the limp fat man, and walked out of the gambling den.

The fat man was still muttering to himself, his steps unsteady, like a walking corpse.

The female mage, Lisa, paused for a moment at the doorway.

Then it disappeared into the sunlight.

Raymond withdrew his gaze, put his arm around Lin Gui's shoulder, and bowed slightly.

"I heard..."

"That fat guy lost that thing to you in the bet?"

Lin Gui lowered his head and glanced at him.

"I've heard..."

He thought to himself.

This guy might have been spying on us from outside the whole time.

They were just waiting for this crucial moment to appear so they could do someone a favor.

or……

Raymond, oblivious to Lin Gui's gaze, continued speaking to himself:

"That fat man's name is Victor Windsor."

"The woman beside him is named Lisa, a sorceress kept by the Windsor family."

"The Windsor family wields considerable power in the City of a Thousand Towers."

"That thing you won..."

"The Windsor family will not let this go."

"You're traveling alone with this..."

He paused, then looked at Lin Gui meaningfully.

"It's very dangerous."

"Our Morning Star team is heading to the City of a Thousand Towers."

"If you'd like to join..."

He didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already very clear.

Lin Gui did not answer.

He took the black box from Elvia and placed it in front of Raymond.

"You know about this?"

Raymond's gaze fell on the box.

A glint of greed flashed in his eyes.

Extremely fast.

But Lin Gui still managed to capture it.

He quickly covered it up, laughing and saying:

"certainly."

"This is an exchange voucher issued by the Magic Guild to those who complete certain special commissions."

"There are so many things you can exchange for."

"Any property under the name of a magic guild..."

"Everything can be exchanged."

Lin Gui raised an eyebrow:

"A special commission?"

"What special request?"

Raymond waved his hand:

"This involves some things that are not convenient to talk about."

He paused.

"Of course, if the young man is willing to join our transport team..."

Lin Gui said calmly:

"Never mind then."

He tried to break free from Raymond's arm.

Raymond tightened his grip, pressing him back down.

Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?

He paused.

"By the way..."

"Our team's pastor is a very beautiful nun."

"And it's really big... not in terms of age, it's that..."

He gestured a very large arc in front of Lin Gui.

Then, he revealed a slightly lewd smile.

"If you join, I'll help you find a match."

As soon as he finished speaking...

A slender hand reached out from the side.

Elvia's face appeared between the two.

She looked at Raymond, her voice not loud, but each word was enunciated clearly:

"Feed".

"His woman is still here."

Raymond was taken aback.

Only then did he notice that there was a woman standing next to Lin Gui.

Long golden hair, an absolutely beautiful face.

Those eyes were fixed on him, with a hint of displeasure.

He smiled awkwardly and let go of her hand.

"Ah, this..."

"Sorry, sorry, I wasn't paying attention..."

Elvia ignored him.

She reached out and pulled Lin Gui away from Raymond.

She pressed against his arm, their fingers intertwined.

Then she looked up at Raymond, a bright smile on her face:

"Okay."

"It's my date time with him now."

"You want to meet him for a drink, or to talk about something..."

"Maybe next time."

After saying that, she grabbed Lin Gui and walked out of the gambling den.

Sunlight fell on the two of them, casting long shadows on the ground.

Raymond stood there, watching their backs until they disappeared around the street corner.

Behind him, a tall, thin man leaned closer and whispered:

"Should we... intercept him halfway?"

"The captain is in dire need of a suitable semi-divine weapon."

Raymond did not turn around.

His gaze remained fixed on the direction where Lin Gui had disappeared.

There was a moment of silence.

Then he spoke, his voice cold:

"Do not act rashly."

The tall, thin man was puzzled:

"We checked his post office..."

No one else came.

"That guy might be lying; he's not from the transport team at all."

"That's possible."

Raymond interrupted him.

He turned his head and looked at the tall, thin man, his eyes sharp as knives.

"What I said to Lisa..."

"Actually, this can also be applied to us."

"Didn't you notice?"

He paused.

"That little guy has never been afraid of us."

The tall, thin man was taken aback.

Raymond looked away, as if recalling something.

"A few days ago, I personally went to his post office to try and win him over."

"Guess what his attitude was?"

The tall, thin man shook his head.

Raymond sneered:

"He didn't act superior or arrogant just because he could levitate."

"He did not show the slightest fear or awe when facing someone far more powerful than himself."

"The way he looked at me was only a calm indifference after scrutiny, and a kind of... wariness."

"That wariness wasn't out of fear, but rather a judgment of whether I was trustworthy and whether I posed a threat."

He squinted.

"How could a wandering mage with no connections possibly manage to do this against a transport team?"

"That expression can only be seen on people who have met truly great people and experienced truly great storms."

The tall, thin man fell silent.

Raymond turned his gaze away and looked outside the door; the sun was shining brightly.

"I have a feeling..."

"Soon, we will find out his true identity."

He scoffed.

"That post office that was practically given away for free."

"It will definitely cause a lot of trouble."

"Just you wait and see."
