Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

As the raft gradually drew closer.

The entire city of Carter resembles a magnificent painting.

It slowly unfolded before the three of them.

Shea's emerald green eyes were filled with shock.

The first thing that catches the eye.

It was that enormous city wall that seemed to stretch to the sky and connect to the earth.

Like the ridgeline of a mountain range stretching across the land.

And this is only the first step.

Looking past it, you can see a second, a third...

The massive, layered city walls extend inwards, like the rings of the earth.

The vast capital city was divided into several regions.

Within each layer of high walls, the architectural style and density are completely different.

The outermost perimeter consists of densely packed, low-rise, and haphazardly arranged residential houses and markets, bustling with activity.

Moving inwards, the buildings gradually become more orderly and taller.

A manor and a training ground appeared.

Deeper inside lies the aristocratic area, filled with spires and magnificent mansions.

All of this protects the most central and highest point of the capital.

A steep mountain peak that rises into the clouds.

On the mountaintop and mountainside, countless palaces and castles were built against the mountain.

The white stone gleamed brilliantly in the sunlight, like the abode of a deity.

The scale of the entire capital city was beyond imagination.

"This...this is the biggest city I've ever seen..." Xia murmured.

"Of course!" Elvia puffed out her chest, her tone full of pride.

"King Carter's city-state is one of the best-preserved on the continent!"

"Compared to this place, Karan is not even comparable to a small town in the capital."

She continued, recounting the details with great familiarity.

"Moreover, King Carter is the most important transportation hub in this border region!"

"All supplies entering the border regions must be transferred through the capital before they can be transported to other southwestern city-states."

"On economic, cultural, and political influence."

"King Carter is firmly in the top ten of the City-State Alliance!"

Elvia proudly recounted the prosperity and power of the capital.

Xia clapped along respectfully from the side.

Lin Gui merely glanced at the magnificent scene indifferently.

It is indeed magnificent and enormous, but that's about it.

There was no central region; the main human settlements were prosperous and powerful.

Lin Gui believed what Elvia said.

King Carter could rank among the top ten in the city-state alliance, but the city-states ahead of him were all more magnificent than the last.

Compared to the previous ones, Carter King is really not up to par.

Having dispelled the raft's concealment, Lin Gui sat at the front and spoke.

"Alright, if you've seen enough, let's get going. I have a lot of things to do."

"I don't have time to stay in the capital any longer."

After entering the capital, Lin Gui not only had to open a post office to deliver more than 5 letters to the appropriate people.

Find Katalia's Tomb and obtain the Eye of the Underworld.

Gather information about the Forbidden Sea, the Forbidden Wall of Sighs, and the final destination, Avalon.

We also need to prepare supplies for departure, and so on...

There are only three months left before the long-term commission arrives in Avalon.

There was no extra time for Lin Gui to waste.

After instructing Shia to squander all the demonic energy within her body.

Navigating the raft, Lin Gui carried the two women towards the capital.

The closer you get to the capital, the denser the flow of people and carriages becomes.

There are adventurers and mercenaries, weary from their journeys and out on missions.

There were also large caravans that transported various huge containers.

The escorting teams exuded an extremely powerful aura.

The members all started out with extraordinary abilities.

One team in particular stood out.

They were guarding a transport vehicle made of steel armor that was suspended in mid-air.

The leading escorts were all legendary figures!

Lin Gui did not hide the raft.

Their flight through the sky attracted the attention of many.

But it didn't cause much of a stir.

After all, few mages have mastered the [Levitation] spell.

But it's not as rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn feathers.

Anyone who has been to the magical city.

They've all seen witches and wizards flying around in the sky.

Navigate the raft to the city gate.

Lin Gui was preparing to follow the crowd and queue up for entry inspection.

King Carter has a very powerful barrier that Lin Gui cannot pass through.

Moreover, since there is a princess in their party, they probably won't make things difficult for them.

At this moment, Xia quietly tugged at his sleeve and whispered.

"Lin Gui, I... I won't go in. I'll wait for you outside."

Lin Gui turned his head in confusion: "Why?"

Elvia laughed gleefully and answered for Shia.

"What else could it be? It's because they're afraid of being recognized and having someone arrest her to collect the bounty."

"What she did in other city-states has already put her on the wanted list, worth 5000 gold coins."

Shea gave an awkward smile, but did not deny it.

"No problem, I'll hide it for you."

Lin Gui looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them, then gently waved his hand.

The next moment, Shia's figure vanished from the spot!

Elvia's eyelids twitched violently.

No chanting?

Lin Gui clapped his hands, as if he had done something insignificant.

"Okay, problem solved."

"Let's go. Once we're settled, we'll have to figure out how to get you a legendary disguise item."

"Legendary items... they're probably only found in the royal treasury."

Elvia replied casually.

Soon it was their turn to queue.

The defense soldiers in charge of the inspection were all sharp and capable.

But which of the people who can bring large quantities of goods here is simple?

Therefore, the soldiers greeted the people transporting goods with sneers, quickly registered them, and then let them pass.

When the inspecting soldiers saw Elvia's beautiful face.

His expression changed instantly.

The captain immediately knelt on one knee, clenched his right fist and struck his left chest heavily, performing a standard knightly salute.

The soldiers behind him also knelt down in unison, their heads bowed deeply.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Seventh Princess!"

Elvia raised her fair neck, regaining the composure and dignity unique to royalty.

"Get up, let us in."

"yes!"

The soldiers quickly got up, lowered their heads, and swiftly moved the roadblocks.

They stood respectfully by the side.

However, just after Elvia stepped through the gates of the capital with her invisible raft...

The captain's respect vanished instantly, replaced by an extremely gloomy expression.

He spoke urgently in a low voice to one of his trusted subordinates.

"Quickly! Inform the Third Prince that the 'lioness' has returned!"

Upon entering the capital, Elvia's face once again displayed a warm and confident smile, as if a fish had returned to water.

She asked Lin Gui, "Would you like to come with me to the central palace to meet King Carter 56, my father?"

She invited him with a smile.

Lin Gui's faint voice came from the raft.

"No need, let's part ways here. You can go do what you want."

"I will be waiting for you outside the city gate in half a month."

"If you don't show up, Shia and I will set off for our next destination, the Dwarven City of Shields."

"Hmm~ Okay then." Elvia covered her mouth and chuckled, offering a reminder.

"By the way, Wang Du Ke is different from Ka Lan. If you want to open a post office here, you'll need to grease palms and be aware of a lot of rules."

"If you encounter any problems that you can't solve... come find me in the first-tier noble district."

"I'm actually looking forward to the day you come to me for help."

After saying that, Elvia moved closer to the raft.

He stuffed the treasures he had found in Whispering Wood into his bag.

"I'll take these things and resell them first. I'll give you your share at a discount later, Half-Demon."

She waved, turned gracefully, and merged into the bustling crowd.

Before she disappeared.

Several powerful adventurers, dressed in various styles, appeared out of nowhere.

In an instant, they surrounded her like shadows.

Elvia chuckled softly and finally disappeared from Lin Gui's sight.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Lin Gui removed the concealment from Xia.

The elven girl revealed her form.

He quickly covered most of his face with the prepared cloth.

"Can Elvia manage alone?" Shia asked with some concern.

"A member of the royal family who had been exiled to Karan suddenly returned to the capital..."

Lin Gui steered the raft towards the civilian district, and upon hearing this, simply replied...

"You should worry more about yourself."

"At Eagle Fortress, you were tricked by her without even realizing it."

"Huh???" Shia was stunned, her pointed ears twitching in confusion.
