Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Griffiths was silent for a moment, looked at Lin Gui, and then spoke.

"Since you know about Morgan's relationship with the Great Sage, and about the Thousand Towers' hunt for half-demons, why are you still with Morgan and the others?"

"When Morgan escaped with the half-demons, he completely pushed them to the opposite side of the Thousand Towers."

"Your act of helping them become a transport team is an intolerable provocation to Qianta."

"They will see you as an enemy."

"Why stay with the half-demons, helping them become a transport fleet to resist the Thousand Towers?"

Why?

Lin Gui couldn't possibly tell Griffith that he was planning to take action against the Alliance, so why would he care about the Thousand Towers?

The problems he himself harbors are far more outrageous than those of Morgan.

Lin Gui did not rush to answer.

He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, put it down, and then spoke in a calm and unhurried tone.

"So I brought them to the transport team selection meeting to become Lieyang."

"No matter how powerful or tyrannical the Thousand Towers are, they would never lay a hand on the Blazing Sun Transport Team."

"The Thousand Towers are the eyes of the Alliance, and the Transport Guild is the heart of the Alliance."

"And the blazing sun is the most important component of this heart."

He paused for a moment.

"If Qianta has lost his mind, would he still intend to attack Lord Morgan under these circumstances—"

He was silent for a moment, as if he was deducing something.

"The Transportation Association doesn't need to do anything."

"A strike by the transport teams would be enough to bring the Alliance's supply shipments to a standstill."

"At that time, the Black Dragon Army will flatten the Thousand Towers."

Griffith looked at him and shook his head.

"you're right."

"But the antagonism between Qianta and Morgan is essentially because the Great Sage wants to use the half-demon race to complete Morgan's research on demonic energy."

"Morgan is the core, and the half-demon is the fuel."

"The families and forces in the Thousand Towers will be wary of your transport team's identity, because taking action would bring them annihilation."

"But the great sage will not."

"Because that monster doesn't care about the survival of the Thousand Towers at all."

His voice lowered even further.

"If sacrificing the Thousand Towers would allow him to take another step toward that goal, he would not hesitate to press the button to destroy the Thousand Towers."

"With his peak strength, no one can stop him."

The afternoon sun shone down from above, making the stone slabs on the street slightly hot.

Griffiths stood on the steps outside the door, turned around, and looked at Lin Gui.

His trip to Tongmen City was not only to register Lin Gui's name, but also to see how the selection process would go.

Now that he has learned about it, he is going back to prepare to recruit members for the transport team.

He stood there, looking at Lin Gui, remained silent for a few moments, and then spoke.

"If one day you really face that monster—"

His voice was very soft.

"Remember, give up fighting him, give up your half-demon teammates."

"You are not his target."

After Lin Gui nodded, he turned around and walked towards the end of the street.

The hem of her dark robe swayed gently in the afternoon breeze, and her white hair shone softly in the sunlight.

Lin Gui and Freya stood there, watching his figure grow smaller and smaller until it disappeared into the crowd around the street corner.

After Griffiths left, Freya turned her gaze to Lin Gui.

"If Dean Griffith hadn't used all his cultivation resources to train magic students from the lower classes—"

Her voice carried an indescribable sense of emotion.

"Perhaps he is already the third titled master in the Thousand Towers."

She paused, turned her head, and her azure eyes fell on Lin Gui's face.

"He likes you very much, so he doesn't want you to fail because of recklessness."

Lin Gui remained silent for a moment.

He looked up in the direction where Griffiths had disappeared.

"I do not understand."

His voice was very faint.

"Since you are aware of the danger I face, why do you come to warn me instead of staying away from me?"

"After all, you are also a member of the Thousand Towers."

If he remembers correctly, Freya's teacher was the master of the Wind Tower.

The Tower Master is the most important ruler in the Thousand Towers City and one of the core figures in the entire Thousand Towers power system.

Freya was taken aback for a moment, then looked at him with a slight smile.

"Is it really that heartless?"

"If it weren't for your warning to me at Blackwater Harbor, North Wind might have been destroyed."

"Such a great favor, am I not allowed to repay it?"

She tilted her head, a mischievous glint in her deep blue eyes.

"My little teacher who taught me how to levitate."

At the time, North Wind did indeed intend to stay in the capital of Carter and wait for the Black Tide to occur.

But Freya remembered Lin Gui's last words and left the capital with Beifeng.

As it turns out, who could have imagined that the saint's prophecy would one day be wrong?

Freya felt a chill whenever she thought about it.

Lin Gui lowered his head slightly.

"Thanks."

Freya shook her head.

"We should be thanking you."

She looked ahead, her tone filled with emotion.

"Back in Blackwater Harbor, I anticipated that I would hear your name someday, but I never imagined you would become famous in this way."

She had intended to persuade Lin Gui to give up on Lieyang, but now it seemed that she had been meddling in other people's business.

The other party did not make this choice impulsively.

He knew better than anyone else the enormous trouble that becoming Lieyang would bring.

Freya smiled faintly at Lin Gui.

Recalling the big news the other party had made in the past few days, even she, a legendary mage who had seen her share of storms, began to wonder about the identity and past of the black-haired boy in front of her.

Especially... the other party's act of sending a message with 7 copper coins.

For refugees, crossing the dangerous wilderness, can a message be delivered for 7 copper coins?

She remembered the mail carrier's package that the other person was carrying when they first met.

Unexpectedly, the other party was actually a messenger, a messenger that could be dispatched for 7 copper coins.

Moreover, the other party left for a month and then returned with a bunch of half-demon legends.

Freya was really curious about what the other party had done that month.

But she didn't ask any further questions.

He simply looked away and said...

"It's time to part ways."

"The North Wind has lingered in Copper Gate City for too long; it's time for us to set off."

"Even though the car was empty on the way back, there was still a request from someone in it, wasn't there?"

She paused for a moment, turned her head, and looked at Lin Gui with a smile.

Lin Gui realized that the other party was referring to his commission.

Only now did he remember that he seemed to have an additional request from the system, which he asked North Wind to complete.

"That bead..."

Freya said.

"Don't worry, it's well protected by us, there's no damage at all."

"We will reach Dawn in less than three months and deliver the goods."

"I just hope that when we meet again, you'll still be alive."

Lin Gui smiled.

"Yes."

Freya nodded and turned to walk across the street.

Her long, icy blue hair traced an arc in the afternoon sunlight before quickly merging into the crowd and disappearing from sight.

Lin Gui stood there, watching her figure disappear into the distance.
