Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Soon, Lin Gui understood what Elvia meant by "being easy to talk to men".

As soon as we entered the Eagle Fortress.

Lin Gui and Xia stared in disbelief at the scene before them.

How should I put it... a large number of female demons with human bodies and eagle claws.

She was having a great time with male mercenaries and adventurers, oblivious to everyone else.

The entire Eagle Fortress is more of a military fortress than a military stronghold.

It's more like a giant brothel.

The air was thick with the scent of hormones.

The internal structure of the fortress was significantly altered.

The passageways and rooms, originally intended for defense, were now draped with suggestive gauze curtains.

It became a series of semi-open cubicles.

The banshees used their sharp claws to slice across the taut muscles of the male adventurers.

It emitted a shrill yet seductive laugh.

The male members who were entangled with the group had expressions of reluctance on their faces.

After all, although she is called a "succubus".

But apart from the torso resembling that of a human female.

Their arms are wings covered in feathers.

Its lower limbs are sharp eagle claws covered in scales.

Its face also has features resembling those of a raptor.

It's hard to arouse a man's desire... except for perverts.

Lin Gui instantly recalled the descriptions of female demons' habits in the "Encyclopedia of Demons".

Now it's clear that Elvia tricked us.

They grabbed Shia and tried to get away as quickly as possible.

"Don't worry!" Elvia immediately grabbed him and comforted him.

"You won't have to pay 'tolls' like those low-level adventurers and mercenaries!"

"Toll fee? What's that?" Shia asked curiously.

Lin Gui, his face dark, answered first: "What else could it be? Leaving offspring, of course."

"The banshee race only produces female banshees; this is one way they maintain their population size."

"I just didn't expect it to be so... 'humanized'."

"In the past, they would usually abduct the males and bring them to the nest...and drain them dry."

Elvia laughed and said, "Yes, that's it."

"However, with Queen Selene around, they won't do something so short-sighted as to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs."

"Then how are we going to get there? We're not really going to..." Shia looked annoyed.

"Don't worry, there's another way to get through here," Elvia whispered in Shia's ear.

"Don't get jealous later."

Under Xia's bewildered gaze.

Elvia hugged Lin Gui's arm affectionately.

She practically nestled against him.

Then, with a smile on his face, he walked towards the core area of ​​the fortress.

Soon, several banshees that had been circling above the fortress excitedly flew down.

But then I saw the royal crest on Elvia's chest.

And then there was the way she intimately linked arms with Lin Gui.

Disappointed, they flew back immediately.

Elvia explained in a low voice.

"There is only one way for a man to pass through Eagle Fortress unscathed: he must become a member of the royal family."

She put her arm around Lin Gui, looked at Xia, and grinned mischievously.

Shea looked at her speechlessly.

Just when Lin Gui and Xia thought they could get away with it so easily.

"Princess Elvia?! Is that you? You're back!"

A surprised voice rang out from the side.

The sound was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The once noisy place has become much quieter.

Countless gazes focused on Elvia.

"It really is Her Highness the Princess!"

"Seventh Princess, you've returned from Karan?"

"That's great! We thought you'd been exiled to that remote city and would never come back."

"..."

For a time, greetings rose and fell in waves.

Those mercenaries and adventurers who had previously looked dejected.

Their eyes revealed genuine gratitude and respect.

Shea leaned close to Elvia's ear and whispered.

"You are very prestigious among adventurers and mercenaries in the capital."

Elvia wore a polite smile and nodded repeatedly to those around her.

At the same time, he moved his lips slightly and whispered to Xia.

"Because most of the connections of nobles, knights, and the defense forces have long been divided up by my older brothers and sisters."

"In order to survive, I have no choice but to scavenge these scraps."

"Aren't mercenaries and adventurers good? There are many strong people among them." Shia asked, puzzled.

"Heh, country bumpkin," Elvia chuckled under her breath.

"Only in city-states like Kalan, which lack logistics channels, would the city defense forces be unable to overpower the adventurers' guild."

"In the royal capital, if you truly fight your way out from the ranks of adventurers, there are usually only two paths waiting for you."

"First, become a member of the nobility and marry a noblewoman; second, be killed outright."

"There is a third way," Lin Gui added calmly, "become a rebel."

Elvia frowned and looked at Lin Gui.

This guy knows a lot... Is he really a mage who started out as a homeless child?

Suddenly, a languid and alluring voice rang out.

It came from the top of the fortress, clear and distinct, overpowering all the noise:

"Princess Elvia, it's been a long time."

"Let me see, let me see the 'husband' you brought back from Karan."

Elvia wore a strange smile.

He turned to Lin Gui and Xia and said.

"Let's go see the Queen."

Several powerful female demons descended from the sky, each exuding the pressure of a legendary rank!

They brought Elvia and two others with them.

In an instant, they arrived at the core hall on the top floor of the fortress, before a being.

Seated on the magnificent bone throne was none other than the Epic-rank Banshee Queen, Selene.

Her body was flawless, her face was stunningly beautiful, and her figure was breathtaking.

But those enormous wings covered in dark blue feathers and those eagle claws gleaming with a cold light.

All of this demonstrates her terrifying strength and inhuman nature.

She simply sat there, and the invisible pressure made the surrounding air seem to freeze.

Selene, with eyes that seemed to see into the soul, scrutinized the Forest Ghost with great interest.

"Hmm... a high-level mid-rank mage? Rare black hair and black eyes..."

"As for her looks, I'd give her a 78 out of 100."

"Hmm... I wish he were taller and stronger."

Being criticized to his face by an epic-level demon, Lin Gui showed no displeasure, even displaying a somewhat benevolent, fake smile.

After all, the opponent is an epic-level being.

Moreover, it is the sound wave and perception-type demon that best counters his stealth-based style.

The opponent didn't notice that the raft they had hidden was simply because they hadn't used any skills.

As long as the other party gets serious.

Youye Shayi could not escape the perception of the female demon queen before her.

"This...is this your man?"

Selene looked at Elvia, her red lips slightly parted.

Elvia dared not delay and immediately stepped forward, speaking ingratiatingly.

"Your Majesty, this is the man I met in the city of Kalan. We fell in love at first sight..."

As she spoke, she hugged Lin Gui's waist even tighter.

Lin Gui also cooperated by reaching out and gently putting his arm around her armored shoulders.

"And who is that elf behind me?" Selene turned her gaze to Shia.

Elvia was about to say that she was a maid.

Xia took the initiative, putting her arm around Lin Gui's right arm and smiling sweetly as she spoke.

"I am also his wife."

That cataclysmic rain of blood destroyed all order.

The concept of monogamy in marriage also collapsed as a result.

The city-state alliance agreement allows marriage in all senses.

A powerful man can have multiple wives.

Of course, a strong woman can also have multiple husbands.

This agreement is ostensibly to ensure a population crisis caused by the impending apocalypse.

In reality, it was just to make things convenient for those in power.

After all, in the city-state era, people always thought there was too much of a population, not too little.

Lin Gui was somewhat surprised by Xia's sudden appearance.

Selene instinctively tried to pull Shia back, but this action made her laugh.

"Don't worry, in my eyes, demons are no different from other races."

Upon hearing this, Xia's body trembled violently.

Selene said "demon" not "half-demon"!

His identity has been exposed.

Elvia remained calm, as if she had anticipated this situation.

She turned her head to see Lin Gui's reaction.

As it turned out, Lin Gui was even calmer than her.

"Tsk." Elvia

Lin Gui pulled Shia closer to his back, bowed respectfully to Selene, and said.

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty Selene. Please keep this a secret."

"Oh~?" Selene licked her sexy lips, her interest growing stronger.

"So, what are you willing to give up to keep this a secret?"

Lin Gui remained expressionless and said calmly.

"I can offer the Queen some news that may be helpful to you and the entire banshee race."

Selene was taken aback, then sat up straight with interest.

Tell me about it.

Lin Gui looked up, staring directly into the Empress's eyes, and spoke clearly.

"I encountered the 'Brain-Digging Demon' from the Red Earth Desert in the Whispering Forest outside the city of Karan."

The words had barely left his mouth!

"boom--!"

A terrifying and epic aura erupted from Selene!

Elvia felt her heart skip a beat!

Shia, who was behind Lin Gui, was almost provoked into an overreaction by this oppressive aura.

But Lin Gui himself remained completely unmoved.

Because he's already used to it.

On his way to the magical city, he encountered no fewer than ten epic beings.

Compared to those truly devastating individuals.

Selene's intimidating presence was nothing to him.

The legendary banshee guards around them trembled and knelt on the ground under this oppressive aura.

Elvia reacted quickly, pulling Shia to the ground and making them both kneel down.

She was a princess, a member of the royal family, but the succubus before her was the only epic being within the entire sphere of influence of the royal capital.

Not to mention her, even her several brothers who wield immense power in the capital would have to kneel down.

The entire hall was deathly silent.

All that remained was the sound of Selene's sharp fingernails tapping against the armrests of the throne.

After a long silence, Selene's cold voice rang out.

"Are you sure? Human?"

Lin Gui nodded, his tone certain.

"I'm absolutely sure."

"Your Majesty may immediately dispatch guards to investigate."

Selene gestured to a silent banshee elder beside her.

The female demon understood and flapped her wings.

In an instant, he vanished into the fortress as a blur.

After the female demon elder left.

Selene's terrifying aura slowly subsided, and she revealed her bewitching smile once more.

"This information is indeed enough for me to keep that 'demon' lady a secret."

"You can go now, I'm tired."

After bowing, Lin Gui and the others quickly withdrew.

Just as they were about to step out of the main hall.

Selene's languid voice, tinged with a hint of warning, rang out again:

"By the way, just a friendly reminder, that demon's disguise magic is too rudimentary, and his demonic energy is very obvious. It seems to be his first awakening."

"If she doesn't want to die, find her at least a legendary-level disguise magic user or an enchanted fake accessory."

"At the same time, keep her well hidden until she fully masters the demonic energy, this new power."

"A half-demon who can use demonic energy has been exposed in the capital. Elvia, do you know how tragic her fate will be?"

Lin Gui raised an eyebrow slightly; he could not sense the presence of demonic energy within his perception range.

Unexpectedly, Shia was also at risk.

The dark gauze robe couldn't stop the demonic energy from seeping out.

It seems that once we arrive in the capital, we cannot take Shia on any more risks until this hidden danger is completely resolved.

Lin Gui turned around and said in a sincere tone.

"Thank you for reminding me, Your Majesty."

They were escorted out of the fortress by the succubi, and had only crossed one hill.

Lin Gui and his group then saw their second stop on this trip.
