Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?
Chapter 517 The Cruelty of the Blazing Sun's Entrustment
"Because the moment you were crowned with the immortal blazing sun and given supreme power, you were no different from the dead."
Wayne's voice echoed in the empty post office lobby.
He looked at Lin Gui and Elvia, and remained silent for a moment.
Then he spoke.
"Do you know the Golden Crown Transport Team?"
Lin Gui nodded.
He certainly knew about the Golden Crown Transport Team.
That was the closest the Transport Guild's team had ever come to the fourth Undying Sun.
The name is derived from the idea of "conquering the wilderness and restoring gold".
The team consists of 10 legends.
The captain is a legendary shield warrior from the barbarian tribe, renowned for his defensive prowess.
The vice-captain is a legendary low-ranking wind mage who is said to have defeated two opponents of the same rank in a one-on-one duel.
The other eight also have their own strengths, covering a complete system of output, healing, reconnaissance, and control.
Their equipment was a masterpiece crafted by the dwarven master blacksmith.
Their supplies were jointly sponsored by the merchant guilds of the three city-states.
Their reputation resounded throughout the entire transport association that year.
Everyone says they are the most likely team to become the fourth Undying Sun team.
Including the president of the transport association.
Then they became the Lieyang Transport Team, and within a few days, they received their first Lieyang commission.
Wayne's voice became very soft.
"Their mission is to traverse the shattered mirror space."
"Place several precious observation runestones at all edge nodes of the shattered mirror space."
"This is to detect the state of the shattered mirror space and prevent it from spreading like the Wailing Wall."
"That commission was extremely difficult, even causing the Alliance to back down on the Undying Sun."
"According to the rules, the title of Undying Sun can only be granted after completing at least 4 Undying Quests."
"And they only need to complete the quest for the Shattered Mirror Void to immediately ascend to the Undying Sun."
"To fulfill the commission, I will become an immortal blazing sun."
"They prepared for this for three whole months."
"They acquired demigod armor capable of withstanding epic attacks and equipped it with the most expensive magic potions."
"The captain even invited the Grand Master Mo Lan to divine their fortune."
"Molan gives the prophecy: Smile, move forward."
Everyone thought this was a prophecy that they had fulfilled their mission and were about to enjoy the joy of victory.
"Until they stepped into the Shattered Mirror Sky Zone."
Wayne's voice paused for a moment.
"The tenth step after entering."
"This transport team is full of legends."
"All personnel killed in action."
Lin Gui frowned slightly.
Lin Gui was also aware of this matter.
Shattered Mirror Space.
It is one of the ten most dangerous places on the continent of Akara.
It is no less than the endless snowfields north of the Northern Region, nor the red desert east of the Kingdom of Carter.
Unlike other perilous places, the Shattered Mirror Void has no demons, no monsters, and no living creatures in it.
Even the wind seemed to freeze.
But everyone who steps into it, whether an ordinary person or a powerful legend, will unconsciously be separated from their head.
Their bodies looked as if they had been cut by an invisible knife.
The moment the head separated from the torso, the expression on the face remained unchanged from when the person was alive.
Some people are smiling, some are talking, and some are looking back at their companions.
Then their bodies separated and remained frozen in mid-air.
The meat was cut into neat pieces.
The incision was as smooth as a mirror, not even a drop of blood could seep out.
To this day, no one knows what caused it.
Some speculate that a resurrected demigod demon resides at the center of the Shattered Mirror Sky Domain.
He used an attack method incomprehensible to mortals to instantly kill all creatures that invaded his territory.
Some say that it contains an unparalleled divine artifact.
It was its lingering power that turned the surrounding hundreds of miles into a dead end.
But there is no doubt about it.
No one has ever crossed the Shattered Mirror Sky Zone to date.
Let alone traversing it, no one dares to even truly step into the edge of the Shattered Mirror Void.
The Golden Crown Transport Team was the only team to step onto the edge of the Shattered Mirror airspace.
They were all killed within ten steps of entering.
Wayne looked at Lin Gui.
"Their remains can still be seen at the edge of the shattered mirror space."
"Their bodies have remained frozen in the same position they were in when they entered; it has been eight years."
"The barbarian captain was at the very front; his body had been cut into three pieces."
"His upper body is still in the position of holding a shield."
"He even had a relaxed smile on his face, as if he had stepped into an ordinary meadow rather than a desperate situation."
"The vice-captain was two steps behind him when his entire head slid off his shoulder and hovered in mid-air."
"His face still showed the shape of his mouth as if he were speaking."
"The other six were scattered in different positions at the rear. Some hadn't had time to draw their weapons yet, while others were reaching out to pull their companions in front."
"Their movements all froze in that instant."
"Everyone's face was calm."
"No fear, no pain."
"It's like someone casually wiped out your life."
He paused for a moment, his gaze falling on Lin Gui.
"Golden Crown Transport Team, all legends."
"Before that commission, they were the most likely team to become the fourth Undying Sun."
"And after that commission, their names were crossed off the Transport Guild's register of merit."
"No one mentions them anymore."
"Except for the occasional person passing by outside the Shattered Mirror airspace who might see those corpses floating in the air from afar."
"Then I quietly took a detour."
Wayne looked at Lin Gui, his voice calm.
"This is the truth behind Lieyang's commission."
"The immortal blazing sun you think it is is nothing more than a group of sacrifices destined to be consumed."
"The alliance gives you power, it gives you status, it gives you everything you want."
"Then I'll throw you into an impossible task."
"Watching you die."
"Change to the next batch."
Wayne did not stop.
He continued speaking, his voice flowing slowly.
"The Eternal Feather Transport Team, consisting of 7 legendary members."
"The initial commission is to open up the mine tunnel located in the Shadow of Devouring."
"On the third day after the commission began, the entire team was wiped out, leaving not even a single intact body behind."
"The Traceless Transport Team, consisting of seven legendary members, has been commissioned to escort a sacred artifact of the Church of Light across the Blood Moon Swamp."
"On the seventh day after the commission began, members began to die one after another, turning into blood and water, just like the blood rain apocalypse before."
"The Hel Gate Transport Team, consisting of six legendary members, is tasked with traversing the Red Earth Desert and opening up the Golden Route."
"On the 19th day after the commission began, their whereabouts were exposed, and they were subsequently swallowed whole by the epic-ranked abyssal worm, Urbis, resulting in the death of the entire crew."
One desperate situation after another.
One after another, the scorching sun entrusted them with its duties.
One powerful transport fleet after another was destroyed.
After saying all this, Wayne looked at Lin Gui and Elvia.
"I don't know what kind of requests you'll receive at the end of the year."
"But for you who were exceptionally promoted to the Undying Sun, the difficulty is absolutely greater than in previous generations."
"And the most likely scenario is..."
His expression turned very serious, and his gaze was fixed on the two of them.
Lin Gui and Elvia were also affected by each other's emotions.
Elvia couldn't help but swallow hard.
Wayne spoke up.
"The Alliance may very well allow you to open the golden route through the Wailing Wall."
"That desperate situation was the one that destroyed three Epics, the one that destroyed the strongest assassin, the pinnacle of Epics, the desperate situation of Shadow Blade Lin."
Lin Gui: "..."
Elvia: "..."
Elvia's eyelids drooped, and she barely managed to keep her expression straight.
The other party's long string of words was meant to highlight how terrifying the blazing sun's commission was.
After all that buildup, the actual request and speculation that popped up was...
The Wall of Sighs?
That ghost Lin opened more than 20 post offices there, and he still has a bunch of ghost customers in his desperate situation.
