Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Sitting on the roof of the car, Lin Gui heard every word of the conversation.

I watched as the transport vehicle arrived at the base of the Tower of the Sky.

An elder of the council, dressed in a dark gray robe, was already waiting at the door.

He stepped forward and exchanged a few brief words with Hughes.

They also examined the runes and the Mountain-Breaking Dragon on the cabinet.

After confirming that everything was correct, he waved to the guards behind him.

The heavy tower doors slowly opened, revealing a deep, dark passageway inside.

The transport vehicle was pushed into the tower by several guards.

The echoes of wheels rolling over the stone pavement gradually faded into the distance in the empty passageway.

The council elders followed them inside, and the tower gate slowly closed behind them.

In the end, everything fell silent.

Lin Gui sat sideways on his oak staff.

After confirming that the other party had not noticed anything amiss.

He turned around and manipulated his staff to fly towards the outer circle.

The Broken Mountain Dragon will be kept in its treasured state until the following year's exhibition, when it will be opened.

At that time, they will discover that inside is a large iron block with the same weight as the Broken Mountain Dragon.

As for maintaining the operation of the virtual landscape scroll.

The timed punishment fire-type scroll that was placed in the same container will be burned after 3 days, when it becomes ineffective.

Even if an investigation were conducted afterward, no one would discover that he was the one who did it.

The story of Po Shanlong thus came to an end.

On the way back, Lin Gui kept replaying the conversation between Carol and Hughes in his mind.

Ever since that time I overheard the conversation between the tower masters.

He then asked Elvia to investigate what happened in the Thousand Towers a few years ago.

It seems that, without the knowledge of the lower-level Lin Gui at the time, a great change occurred in the upper levels of the Thousand Pagoda.

Yesterday, Elvia told him the results of the investigation.

According to the intelligence she gathered.

A few years ago, the undead horde that nearly destroyed the Thousand Towers swept through the Thousand Towers.

It took the combined efforts of several elemental tower masters to repel the raging tide.

The average player is at the mid-legendary level, with the strength to reach the top.

But afterwards, the result was very strange.

Several tower masters who had made great contributions resigned from their posts and left the Thousand Towers, citing the need to recuperate from injuries.

Meanwhile, the mages from those magical families who had previously been virtually invisible quickly filled the vacancies.

Elvia couldn't find out the specific reason either.

Her intelligence network in Qianta was very crude.

After all, it's only been a few days, and to have Lin Gui use it as a mini-encyclopedia is already quite impressive.

Elvia speculated that it was most likely a political struggle that led to the departure of the Thousand Towers' top brass.

The events of that year had little to do with Lin Gui.

But what Carroll just said caught his attention.

Freya and Griffith's existence, even Wayne and his disciple Pran from a magical family, who had only known each other for a few days.

Lin Gui had a great deal of goodwill towards the mages of the Thousand Towers who had come from the Golden Age.

Carol said that the departing mages seemed to have gathered together and formed an organization.

If possible, I might become one of the people he tries to win over.

The premise is that he has the qualities that can move a powerful mage.

Lin Gui sighed.

Even King Carter couldn't afford to support a legendary high-ranking mage, let alone Kalan.

It's still too weak.

Just as he was thinking this, the system's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

【Host.】

Fourteen days have passed since the delivery of the Thousand Towers mail service began.

[If the host has not drawn the reward before the time limit expires, the reward will be automatically issued.]

Lin Gui paused for a moment, then frowned.

"Couldn't I save up and settle the score after I get through the Red Desert?"

"Or simply cancel it as a failed task."

The system's voice remained calm as always.

【Can't.】

[Please begin the magic extraction, host.]

As if aware of Lin Gui's concerns, the system added another sentence.

There are three more city-states to go.

Including them, the host should barely avoid touching the threshold for a breakthrough.

So please rest assured.

Lin Gui replied speechlessly.

"You've probably forgotten that I also had the half-demon send back all the replies I received along the way."

It seems the system doesn't require Lin Gui to personally deliver messages for magical rewards.

Its original purpose was to connect all the city-states.

Any letter originating from Lin Gui Post Office, regardless of who delivers it, will be counted as a weekly commission by Lin Gui once it is completed.

Both magic draws and magic power rewards are distributed.

This seems to be a cheat code for Lin Gui.

As long as he opens enough post offices and recruits enough mail delivery teams, he can receive rewards of magic and magical power even if he does nothing.

It wasn't until he arrived at the Thousand Towers and realized he wasn't far from the Red Earth Desert that he discovered it was a trap.

Instead of hiring dozens of Golden Adventurer Groups to deliver letters to the post office.

A single trip can take several months and cost tens of millions.

It's better to do it yourself, start the wind pressure, and fly a round trip in a week.

If it weren't for the additional commissions and the delays caused by the selection of the transport team.

Without going through restricted areas.

From Dragonbone to Thousand Towers, Lin Gui could travel through all the city-states in a week.

All you need is a priest with plenty of magic power.

And the teller squatting at the post office entrance, waiting to receive mail from the sky.

His decision to have Hewittley deliver the letter back actually created a hidden danger for his journey across the red desert.

He could only speed up as much as possible to cross the red desert before Hewittley could send the letter back.

Lin Gui felt helpless thinking about the date he had agreed to with Elvia.

The system's voice sounded again.

[Host, shall we begin the magic extraction?]

Lin Gui sighed.

"Don't use the astigmatism spell!"

"Otherwise I'll start cursing."

The system notification tone ignored his complaints and continued to flow smoothly.

[Random beginner spells *7132 are being drawn...]

Repeated spells will enhance the host's proficiency with that spell.

【...】

The following new magic has been added:

[Earth-type basic magic: Petrify Skin LV8.]

(A kind of magic that hardens the skin.)

[Intermediate Water Magic: Water Curtain LV7]

(A water curtain is created; this is a defensive magic.)

[Wind-type Intermediate Magic - Cyclone Stomp LV6]

(A spell that allows for brief aerial leaps.)

[Bonus Reward: Mana Reserves +100]

The system's broadcast speed is so fast that it's a bit overwhelming.

But Lin Gui still managed to detect traces of the Astigmatism Technique.

He opened his personal panel and his gaze fell on the Astigmatism spell.

My proficiency with Astigmatism has increased from LV1 to LV7.

A total of over 500 shots were fired.

The other intermediate spells that construct illusionary landscapes have also received corresponding upgrades.

It originally required at least a minute of chanting to cast the spell.

And now, the activation of the Illusionary Realm Technique will probably only take 30 seconds...

Lin Gui's lips twitched.

"system."

Aren't you going to explain yourself?

The system's voice remained calm and composed.

"The probability of extracting magic that the host already possesses will be greater."

"So the host need not be surprised."

"The magic that creates the veil of night is the same."

"Moreover, considering the timeline, the host only arrived at Thousand Towers and obtained the scroll of the Astigmatism Technique in just two days."

"In terms of efficiency, it's much faster than waiting several days for the delivery rate to reach the target."

Lin Gui was speechless.
