Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Lin Gui walked through the noisy recruitment area.

We arrived at the deepest part of the hall.

There was a long row of counters.

The grayish-white stone countertop is polished to a smooth, mirror-like finish.

Behind the counter sat a dozen or so staff members dressed in uniform.

There were both men and women, and they all wore the Transport Guild badge on their chests.

An open book, with a star floating above it.

Lin Gui walked to an empty counter.

The staff member behind the counter was a young girl.

Her dark brown hair was tied in a ponytail, and she wore a professional smile.

She saw Lin Gui and her gaze swept over his suspended staff.

The smile deepened.

"Hello, Wizard."

"How can I help you?"

Lin Gui said.

"Apply for the transportation team selection."

The girl nodded.

Pull out a form from under the counter.

It was handed over.

"Please fill in this form."

Lin Gui took it.

I glanced at it.

The table is small, but it contains a lot of information.

Name, age, rank, position, city-state.

These are all required fields.

There are also some optional fields.

Past experience, areas of expertise, and highest achievements.

as well as.

The name of the legendary team leader.

Lin Gui's gaze lingered for a moment on the "Legendary Team Leader" section.

Then move it away.

He picked up the pen from the counter.

Start filling out the form.

The pen tip scratched across the paper, making a soft, rustling sound.

When writing the "Legendary Team Leader" section.

His space is empty.

Continue.

The last item that needs to be confirmed.

[Whether or not to participate in the selection for the reserve transport team]

Next, there are two options.

Yes and no.

Lin Gui's pen tip hovered in mid-air.

The girl noticed his pause.

He offered an explanation.

"The actual selection for the transport team will take place a month later."

"And the selection process for this reserve transport team..."

She paused, as if considering her words.

"It's specially prepared for teams that have signed up but don't have a legendary team leader."

"They will participate in various competitions over the next month."

"Team competition, individual combat, simulated transport across the wilderness."

"Teams that perform well will be selected by the legendary powerhouses who participated in this selection process."

"Finally, a truly qualified team will be formed."

"Participate in the final selection of the transport team."

Her voice was calm, as if she were reciting a passage she had already memorized.

"This selection is only for lower-level adventurers who do not have legendary connections or resources."

She glanced at Lin Gui's empty "Legendary Team Leader" section.

"Of course, participation is not mandatory."

"If you already have a legendary team leader, then you just need to wait a month for the real selection."

Lin Gui remained silent.

He has legendary connections, and the other party is even willing to join the transport team.

This is especially true for the majority of the gold-level adventurers outside the area.

It's practically impossible.

That includes him as well.

His pen hovers between "yes" and "no".

There was a pause of a few seconds.

then.

He drew a checkmark above "No".

The girl took the form and glanced at it.

I saw the empty "Legendary Leader" field and the checked "No".

Her eyebrows twitched slightly.

But he didn't say anything more.

He simply lowered his head and made a record in the register.

"Your registration has been completed."

"Please arrive at the Copper Gate City Transportation Guild on time one month from now."

"Staff will be on hand to guide you to the selection area."

Lin Gui nodded.

Turning around, she manipulated her staff and floated away from the counter.

He wouldn't waste his time participating in the so-called selection process for the reserve transport team.

If, during this period, the goods from the Dalton family still haven't been signed for.

He would have to go back to Drywood Town.

The reward for that commission came later when he traversed the red desert.

It plays a very important role.

He won't give up easily.

Since the decision has been made not to participate in the selection of the reserve transport team.

So for him, there was only one way.

To recruit a legend to lend their name to one's own name.

That is……

Offer him terms he can't refuse.

For example, far exceeding the money offered by the great nobles.

But before that.

A problem was facing him.

He didn't know where to find the legendary unnamed transport team.

The staff floated slowly forward.

We walked through the recruitment areas where people were still shouting at the top of their lungs.

Walk through those constantly updated bulletin boards.

Just as he was about to float out of the hall.

A familiar male voice sounded from behind.

"A little mage?"

The voice carried a hint of uncertainty.

And a hint of obvious surprise.

Lin Gui was taken aback.

He stopped using his staff.

He turned around.

When you see the other person's face.

His eyes widened slightly.

His eyes were full of surprise.

Outside of the transport association.

At the nearest coffee shop.

Ellie sat opposite Lin Ghost.

He wore a dark blue scholar's robe with silver star patterns embroidered on the collar.

The thick booklet in my hand was placed on the table, its cover somewhat worn.

Behind the monocle were a pair of smiling eyes.

Lin Gui looked at the person in front of him.

It has a dreamlike feel to it.

This is... someone who set off for the Central City-State much earlier than him...

North Wind Caravan?

It's not just the forest ghost that's dreamlike.

Ellie, sitting opposite him, was also filled with disbelief.

Aside from those perplexing problems.

The most reasonable explanation now is...

The guest in front of them had asked them to deliver the items to Dawn City while he went to the Wall of Sighs to handle some business.

It seems they have caught up with them, who had been rushing all the way.

Although the speed of a single person is theoretically greater than that of a transport team carrying a heavy load.

Moreover, the little mage's outrageous levitation spell can speed up this process to some extent.

But... this is too fast.

Eli rubbed his temples.

ask.

"May I ask, how long did you spend at the Wailing Wall?"

Lin Gui paused for a moment.

I was just about to answer.

"About two—"

Elijah's rapid export was interrupted.

"Cough cough."

Let's skip this topic.

He put down his hand that was rubbing his temples and looked at Lin Gui.

"You...are you here to participate in the selection?"

Lin Gui nodded.

He didn't intend to hide much from Eli.

Besides the post office.

He simply said that his businesses would infringe on the interests of some nobles.

Therefore, a transport team is needed to support them.

But right now, I have something very important to do.

Therefore, they are unable to participate in the selection competition for the reserve transport team.

You need to find a legend yourself.

However, he did not have the relevant connections.

After saying that, Lin Gui looked at Eli.

Elie smiled.

"You want Captain Freya to put you in a position?"

Lin Gui nodded.

When they learned that North Wind was also here.

That was indeed one of his ideas.

Freya, as the captain of the North Wind team, certainly cannot claim credit for herself.

However, as a legendary mid-ranking mage.

She must know many legendary mages.

Legendary mages are the most likely to change their minds for money and lend their names to others.

After all, the ones who are always short of money are always the mages.

Especially legendary mages.
