Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Lin Gui's gaze fell on the uniform school uniforms in the pile of wooden crates, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Did you take on a side job delivering clothes?"

He turned his head to look at Elvia.

"Didn't you make a lot of money in Copper Gate City? Wasn't that enough for you?"

Before the selection process for the transport team began, the odds for the Seven Coins Post Office transport team were almost outrageously high.

No one would bet on a bizarre combination that includes one high-ranking being, two lower-ranking transcendents, and was temporarily changed from Morning Star to Blazing Sun.

Most people think this is just a joke.

Some people even placed bets that the team would die on the road.

As a result, after the announcement of the Undying Sun was posted, the suicide rate in Copper Gate City skyrocketed.

And Elvia earned enough money to live a life of luxury without ever needing Lin Gui's financial support.

The 200 million yuan in betting funds were not stolen by Lin Gui from breaking into the house.

Since he ransacked the treasuries of the nobles in Copper Gate City last time, the nobles have been guarding their treasuries to an insane degree.

As for the two hundred million, it was borrowed from the black market by Elvia using three and a half divine artifacts as collateral.

The Windtalker's Scepter, and two weapons belonging to Cass and Victor.

Even with three and a half divine artifacts, you can't get a loan of 200 million; at most, it'll be around 140 million.

But Elvia managed to get tens of millions more by relying on her negotiation skills.

So she got a share of the gambling money.

Thanks to that bet, she became financially independent.

Therefore, Lin Gui couldn't understand why the other party was taking on private jobs.

"Why did you take on this side job?"

He glanced down at the neatly folded school uniforms in the wooden crates, then looked up and scanned the wooden crates filling the yard.

"Furthermore, judging from the Royal Magic Academy's uniform, the job you took on was probably transporting Greenwood Court's clothing to the City of a Thousand Towers, right?"

Elvia smiled and nodded.

Lin Gui asked another question.

"How much is the reward? One million?"

Given the difficulty of the Bone Heights and the distance of this route, escorting the clothing to Thousand Towers would be at most this many items.

Even a million might be a stretch.

The journey from Green Shade Court to the City of a Thousand Towers is a route even the Golden Adventurers could traverse; it's impossible for them to offer a higher reward.

Moreover, if all of these were piled up, they would probably weigh less than a ton.

Elvia looked at him with a smile and held up a finger, waving it.

"One gold coin."

Lin Gui was stunned.

"One gold coin?"

"Yes, it's just one gold coin."

Elvia straightened up, walked up to him, and patted him on the shoulder.

"The Silver Silk Merchant Guild asked me to deliver these goods to the City of a Thousand Towers."

"As for why I accepted this commission—"

"I can only say that this will greatly help Karan City's connection to the Alliance transportation network and the expansion of the post office."

"Since you intend for me to guard the rear, I naturally need to start making preparations in advance."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked to a wooden box next to her, then sat down on it.

The skirt draped down, revealing slender ankles.

She took off her high heels, wiggled her toes, and rubbed her heels with a frown.

"But... I've been running around doing this business these past few days, and my feet are all blistered."

She looked up at Lin Gui, a deliberately exaggerated look of grievance on her face.

"Look how hard I work, contributing to my man's career without complaint—"

"Shouldn't you... show some appreciation?"

Lin Gui stood in front of the wooden box, looking at her fair feet and then at her feigned aggrieved face, and remained silent for a moment.

He sighed inwardly.

Hard work? When she first stepped into this city-state, her eyes shone like a wolf that hadn't eaten for three days seeing meat; she didn't look hard work at all.

But he didn't say it aloud.

"How do you want me to express this?"

He asked a question, his tone carrying a wary air as if he already knew the answer.

"Except for making me change my clothes."

Elvia immediately interrupted.

"I want this one."

Lin Gui stared at her with dead fish eyes.

"You love me, don't you?"

"certainly!"

Elvia patted the neatly stacked wooden crates next to her with a self-righteous air, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"So I bought you a whole thousand men's clothes to repay my love for you."

She tilted her head, and the curve of her lips grew wider and wider.

Come on, darling.

"Let's fight until dawn."

Lin Gui looked at the mountain of wooden crates, and at Elvia's determined expression, opened his mouth, then closed it again.

Finally, he swore.

"What the hell..."

The original plan to leave that day was ultimately postponed to the afternoon of the following day.

The next afternoon, Lin Gui couldn't wait to pack his things and prepare to leave Green Shade Court.

He didn't want to stay in this city of clothing for even a second longer.

After a long night, the sight of clothes now gives him a headache.

Just then, a dark-colored carriage drove up from the street corner at the back gate of the post office.

The carriage stopped at the door, and a steward dressed in a dark gray suit jumped down.

He ordered his servants to unload the large wooden box from the carriage, then walked up to Elvia, bowed slightly, and spoke respectfully.

"Lady Elvia, this is the last batch of goods from the Silver Silk Merchant Guild. Please deliver it to Thousand Towers with us."

Elvia smiled and nodded.

"Understood. Tell your chairman that the goods will be delivered on time."

"Also, tell her that I must deliver the things I need to Green Plains City in three months."

The steward responded and bowed again.

After all the goods were unloaded, he left the post office.

Elvia returned to the backyard with the goods and, seeing Lin Gui installing the buckles, asked him a question.

"Do you need me to hire a high-level mage to recharge your energy along the way?"

Lin Gui glanced at her and shook his head.

"I can handle all these goods by myself."

After he finished speaking, he raised his right hand.

Nearly half of the wooden crates piled up in the backyard disappeared the moment he waved his hand.

A few shallow marks and dust were left on the open ground.

Elvia raised an eyebrow.

"What convenient magic."

Her tone was filled with emotion.

She was always amazed when she watched Lin Gui pack things away.

Her gaze shifted from the open spaces to Lin Gui.

"And what about the rest?"

"It's too full."

Lin Gui's tone was indifferent.

"These boxes are too big; the airship can't carry that many."

He glanced at the remaining wooden crates and added a comment.

"Let's just link them together and float away."

Elvia nodded, placed the exquisite wooden box on top of the pile of boxes, and dusted off her hands.

"That would be best. It wouldn't be good if these clothes got damaged from the bumpy ride. After all, many of them were custom-made for the Lady of Qianta."

Lin Gui didn't reply, and straddled his oak staff.

Elvia followed, sat sideways behind him, and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Her chin rested on his shoulder, her long golden hair cascading down his chest, shimmering softly in the afternoon sunlight.

Lin Gui raised his right hand.

The remaining wooden crates slowly rose from the ground, and iron chains emerged from between the crates, linking them together in a row.

The staff slowly rose into the air.

With Elvia, and with that long string of interlocking wooden crates.

It flew over the roof of the post office, over the walls of the Green Garden, and towards the Thousand Towers in the east.
