Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Lin Gui didn't rush to take Elvia and float down directly.

He raised his hand, causing the cuffs of his robe to flutter slightly.

The next moment, two black birds, their bodies jet black and their eyes gleaming, flew out.

They began their unbridled "cruising".

They flew past the noses of those powerful-looking guards.

It hovered twice above the head of a mage who was holding a wine glass and whose body was shrouded in magical power.

He even dared to sneak into another female mage's large hat and stay there for a moment.

This prompted the female mage to touch the top of her head in confusion.

They eventually flew to the vicinity of the Third Prince and Duke Joseph.

They hovered and chased each other on the dining table in front of them.

Recently, I almost came across Joseph's meticulously groomed beard.

Elvia, lying on the back of the forest ghost, watched the two birds' arrogant behavior and couldn't help but whisper:

"Hey, I'm telling you... why do you always let these two crows wander around before you start working? Are you afraid no one will notice?"

Lin Gui didn't even turn his head, and calmly corrected, "It's not a crow, it's a raven."

Elvia curled her lip: "Don't they all look the same? All dark-skinned."

Lin Gui: "..."

These two ravens were created by Lin Gui recently using a combination of magic and alchemy.

Newly "created" magical creatures.

Just like the green lizard he used to get around.

The green lizard was a high-end item he bought from the magical city; it looked very realistic.

But the raven looks fake.

Lin Gui explained, "I did this to prevent something like Ghosn's from happening again."

"I also covered them with the [Night Veil]."

"If the other side has methods to detect concealment."

"Like Ghosn's soul-detecting steel needle."

"They will first spot and lock onto the raven."

"Then we'll be able to detect it in advance and make a quick escape."

"Without Shia, with our combined strength, we'd be dead if we were discovered."

At that moment, the two ravens practically had provocation written on every single feather.

They swept over the heads of the exquisite sculptures and traversed through the fountain's water curtain.

He even deliberately made an unpleasant "cawing" sound in the ear of an assassin lurking in the shadows.

He "took care" of all the guards, assassins, and perception-type mages, both visible and invisible, throughout the entire garden.

It was confirmed that no one showed any unusual behavior.

Elvia's eyelids twitched wildly as she watched Raven's almost suicidal behavior.

However, it must be admitted that although this method seems outrageous, it is indeed effective.

She didn't want to be kicked down by Lin Gui to take the blows again.

After confirming that it was safe, Lin Gui manipulated the oak staff and floated towards the Third Prince and Joseph.

Duke Joseph's face was full of friendly smiles.

She was intimately pulling a beautifully dressed young woman in front of the third prince.

His words were full of hints and attempts to bring them together:

"Charles, look at my daughter Emily. Ever since we parted at the last court ball, she has been unable to forget Your Highness's charm."

"She recently passed the magic talent test at the Silvermoon Tower, and her mentors all say she has a bright future."

"Emily, why don't you hurry up and show your brother Charles that little spell you just learned?"

The girl named Emily was beautiful and had impeccable manners.

Her face held just the right amount of shyness and admiration.

She spoke softly and gently to the third prince.

She would occasionally let out a soft, silvery laugh, trying to build a closer relationship.

However, Prince Charles maintained a warm smile and handled the situation appropriately.

But a barely perceptible anxiety lurked deep in his eyes.

He tried several times to change the subject.

She wanted to have a more private conversation with Joseph.

But Miss Emily skillfully and politely interrupted or responded to them.

Joseph observed all of this and sighed inwardly, knowing that the time was almost right.

"Alright, Emily, can't you see your third brother still has important matters to discuss?"

"Stop bothering him, go help your mother entertain the other guests."

He then turned to the guests around him and laughed loudly, his voice clear and infectious.

"Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me for a moment."

"Your Highness has some important matters concerning the future of the kingdom that you need to discuss with this old man."

"Excuse me for a moment, please enjoy the wine and music!"

These words were perfectly worded, giving the third prince a way out while also highlighting the importance of his own position.

After saying that, he led the third prince, who was visibly relieved.

Leaving the bustling garden, we walked towards a quiet corridor inside the main building of the mansion.

Lin Gui immediately manipulated his staff and silently followed.

Joseph led the third prince to a heavy wooden door.

Before he even entered, one of the high-ranking warriors who had been following him immediately began to act.

Suddenly, more than 10 fully armed superhumans emerged from the shadows.

They dispersed in a well-trained manner.

A group of people quickly and silently cleared both ends of the corridor and set up a cordon.

The other group carried various strange magical items.

They began a detailed inspection of the walls, ceiling, floor, and even the air around the meeting room.

To detect the presence of eavesdropping magic or concealment barriers;

Two more mages, specializing in perception, closed their eyes and concentrated.

Magical perception swept across every corner.

After confirming absolute security and privacy.

The leading superhuman warrior nodded slightly to Joseph.

Then he personally pushed open the heavy wooden door for the two of them.

Before the door closes.

The staff that Lin Gui wielded was like a slippery eel.

They slipped in silently.

The moment the heavy, copper-clad wooden door closed, it completely shut out the noise and music from the outside world.

The forced, warm smile on Prince Charles's face vanished instantly.

Instead, there was a sense of urgency mixed with anxiety and pallor.

He didn't even get to the ornate negotiating table in the center of the room.

He then abruptly turned to Duke Joseph, speaking rapidly and urgently:

"Duke! We must act immediately! John and his entire order of knights... are all gone! Their soul lamps have been extinguished, not a single one remains!"

His fingers clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turning white from the force.

The moonstones embedded in the room are particularly noticeable under the soft light.

"Do you know what this means? The most loyal and powerful force left to me by my mother's family has vanished overnight!"

"Those people outside now." He pointed forcefully towards the doorway, his voice trembling slightly.

"What will those nobles who initially supported me, those wavering opportunists, think now?"

"They'll think I've lost my claws and fangs!"

In stark contrast to the Third Prince's excitement, Duke Joseph remained calm and composed.

He strolled slowly to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of amber-colored vintage wine.

I slowly pulled out the cork and poured the fragrant liquid into two crystal glasses.

His fat face showed no emotion whatsoever.

It was as if what I had just heard was just an insignificant piece of news.
