Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

When Wayne finished speaking the last word, his chin lifted slightly.

His gaze carried a sense of anticipation, as if his identity would be revealed, shocking the entire audience.

However, the post office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Elvia appeared from behind at some point, carrying a plate of freshly cut fruit and nuts.

She walked over to Lin Gui, handed him the plate, and stuffed a piece of food into her own mouth.

The two stood side by side, one eating fruit, the other with his arms crossed.

Together we watched Wayne Gale, head held high and with an air of superiority.

The atmosphere remained silent.

Only the sound of Elvia cracking nuts echoed crisply in the empty lobby.

Click.

Click.

Click.

Wayne's eyebrow twitched.

Seeing that the two people remained unmoved even after he revealed his name, he was at a loss for what to do.

He coughed again.

"Cough cough."

"The Wind Tower Master is visiting, and this is your reaction?"

Elvia swallowed the fruit in her mouth and pointed to herself with her fork.

"Ten votes for the speaker."

Then the fork tip turned towards the forest ghost.

Lin Gui also spoke up in agreement.

"Captain Undying Sunfire".

On paper, even hundreds of Forest Ghosts and Elvia tied together couldn't defeat Wayne.

However, within this alliance's power structure, the Wind Tower Master doesn't actually hold a higher position than the Forest Ghost and Elvia.

Especially Elvia.

In the Thousand Towers, there are only two people whose status and power can rival Elvia's.

The only two epics in the City of a Thousand Towers.

The Great Sage, Merlin Ambrose.

Aurora Lux, the Tower Master of the Tower of Light and the Candle of Eternal Day.

Every epic is the speaker in the council.

In other words, Elvia's status in the League is comparable to that of an epic.

Wayne's beard twitched.

He actually understood this as well.

But the fact that he, despite his legendary rise to power, couldn't compare to the two younger men in terms of status still left him quite frustrated.

What's even more frustrating is that these two kids seem to be aware of their own position.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that his identity might not be of much use anymore.

Wayne sighed.

The stiff posture finally relaxed, and the shoulders slumped a bit.

"Alas, heroes emerge from among the young."

After a sigh, he stepped forward, looked at Lin Gui, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke frankly.

"Actually, the reason I came here this time is to make you, the captain of the Seven Coins Post Office transport team and the master of the levitation spell without chanting, my personal disciple, Wayne Gale."

Lin Gui frowned.

Why?

Lin Gui believed that Wayne should know very well.

It is impossible for a transport team leader to become a disciple of the Elemental Tower Master.

In terms of status, the former is higher than the latter.

Moreover, as a transport team, they spend almost all their time in the wilderness.

Few people will have the time to study at the Elemental Tower.

Lin Gui, in particular, is weak but clearly the core of the team.

Wayne Gale looked at Lin Gui and spoke.

"Because you can use the Levitate spell, and it's a Levitate spell without casting. Looking at the history of wind mages, you may be the first."

"and--"

He paused for a moment, his gaze lingering on Lin Gui's face for a brief instant.

"You won't live past this year."

"On the year-end scorching sun commission."

"An ordinary extraordinary knight, overnight gaining power surpassing that of the Tower Master of a Thousand Towers and even that of a great noble..."

"What lies behind this can no longer be called risk, but rather inevitable destruction."

"The Sun's single vote is enough to make the big shots in the alliance furious and use every means to send the new students to their doom."

Wayne Gale looked at Elvia and said.

"Your ten votes are not proof of power, but a death warrant."

"With each additional card, the Alliance's desire to kill you doubles."

"I don't believe you will survive their strangulation."

Lin Gui did not refute.

He was silent for a moment, then asked.

"So what does this have to do with you wanting me to become your disciple?"

Wayne did not answer immediately.

He took a scroll from his waist.

The paper on the roll is thicker than the others, and the edges are embossed with dark gold piping.

He placed the scroll on the table in front of Lin Gui, spread it out, and tapped it lightly twice with his finger.

"See for yourself."

Lin Gui and Elvia both lowered their heads.

Both of them were stunned when they saw the title on the homepage of the scroll.

It was a line of large, gold-plated characters, the font simple and dignified, carrying an undeniable weight.

The Sign of a Warrior

[Letter of Recommendation for Selection by a Monk]

Lin Gui's gaze lingered on the title, his pupils contracting slightly.

Elvia instinctively tightened her grip on the fork in her hand.

Wayne stood to the side, his hands behind his back, his gaze calmly fixed on the two faces, and began to explain.

"Every time the Black Tide erupts, the call for heroes begins, and this time is no exception."

"The Alliance will gather geniuses from various factions and different classes to launch an expedition against the Demon God Fortress."

"The attempt was to stop the birth of the Black Tide by beheading the demon who ushered in the Dark Age."

His voice deepened, carrying a weight of years.

"During the 43 years of the Dark Ages, there were a total of 21 Black Tides."

"Each Black Tide is accompanied by the death of millions of people and the rebirth of hundreds of millions of demons in the wilderness and forbidden lands."

"This borderland, the last pristine place that had never been touched by the Black Tide, has fallen."

"The next Kuroshio tide is unpredictable."

"It may be a city-state with a population of less than 100,000."

"It could be the boundless ocean."

"It might be the endless snowfields of the Northern Regions."

"It could also be a thousand pagodas."

"It's the dawn."

His gaze fell on the two faces, and his tone became increasingly low.

"Even something as powerful as the dawn has no chance of resisting the Black Tide's engulfment."

"Therefore, in order to prevent destruction, the alliance will spare no effort to slay that ever-growing demon god."

"At dawn, the entrenched forces fought and slaughtered each other for power, but only in this matter."

"No one will hinder or oppose it."

"The son of the first hero, the saintess of each generation, the true prodigy of every era..."

"They were selected from various factions."

"Then he collapsed on the way to the Demon God's Fortress."

"And now—"

He paused, then reached out and pointed to the scroll on the table.

"The Alliance has begun recruiting prodigies again, preparing to launch an expedition to the Demon God Fortress."

"And this time, the mage of the hero's team will be born in my Wind Tower."

"And now—"

He paused, then reached out and pointed to the scroll on the table.

"The Alliance has begun recruiting prodigies again, preparing to launch an expedition to the Demon God Fortress."

"And this time, the mage of the hero's team will be born in my Wind Tower."

"I hope you can become my disciple and take my place in the Challenge of the Brave."

Elvia was the first to step forward.

Her voice was filled with undisguised doubt and anger.

"What's the difference between this and sending him to his death?"

"Of all the heroes throughout history, aside from the first invincible hero's team, who has ever returned alive from the path leading to the Demon God's Fortress?"

"Mr. Wayne, are you looking for a scapegoat?"

"Your grand-disciple's life is a life, but Lin Gui's life isn't?!"

"Is this the mindset of the supreme ruler of the Thousand Towers City, the Wind Tower?!"

Elvia braced herself on the table, staring intently at Wayne.

In Carter's capital, his legendary status once overshadowed everything else.

Despite not being a princess with real power, Elvia dared not show the slightest disrespect to the pillars like Knight John.

Now, however, he possesses strength and status far surpassing all the Wind Tower Masters.

Elvia directly questioned him with a cold face.

She believed that she would have done it even without the power of those ten votes.

Faced with Elvia's questioning and anger, Wayne was not annoyed.

His expression was calm, and he responded in a flat voice.

"What's the difference between your year-end scorching sun commission and the sign of the hero, little girl?"

"Don't forget the death penalty rules the Alliance set for the Sunfire Caravan."

Elvia paused.

Her lips moved, but she couldn't immediately respond.

Wayne looked at her and continued.

"If any Sun Transport Team fails to complete a Sun Delivery mission, and the Alliance discovers any survivors—"

"The survivors must rebuild the Sun within a month and embark on the Sun Commission once again."

"It won't end until all members of the Blazing Sun have died on the mission, or the mission has been completed."

"This regulation virtually eliminates any possibility of Lieyang relinquishing the commission."

"After the commission was confirmed, there were only two paths for Lieyang."

"Total annihilation, or the mission accomplished."

"The implementation of this regulation has resulted in a near 100% mortality rate for the Lieyang Transportation Team."

He looked at Elvia calmly.

"I'm not looking for a scapegoat."

"Because the moment you were crowned with the immortal blazing sun and given supreme power, you were no different from the dead."
