Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Elvia reacted extremely quickly, rolling to the side against the wall.

She grabbed her sword and drew it with a clang.

The sword tip pointed directly at the balcony, and his whole body was tense.

however.

When she saw the person standing on the balcony, her face instantly drained of all color.

Her pupils contracted in fear, and her lips trembled slightly.

His hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably, and he could barely hold onto the hilt.

Standing on the balcony was Carlyle.

Carlyle's dim old eyes swept across the room, paying no attention to Elvia.

He casually tossed a staff at the forest ghost.

Lin Gui caught it instinctively.

The staff is entirely azure in color, with a warm and smooth texture, and a large wind-elemental magic crystal is inlaid at the top.

There seemed to be swirling air currents inside the magic crystal, emitting extraordinary magical fluctuations.

Lin Gui looked at him with a puzzled expression, feeling that the thing looked somewhat familiar.

Elvia, standing behind him, recognized him immediately and gasped in a low voice:

"It's the grand finale of the royal auction, the Windwhisperer's Staff!"

"Warren bought it for a staggering 90 million gold coins!"

Lin Gui raised an eyebrow and looked at Kai Lei with a puzzled expression.

Carlyle spoke calmly:

"This is a gift from my master to you."

"She also asked me to pass on a message to you."

"If you want to live, don't ever go back to Carter's capital."

"Let's go back to New Testament City via the Blackwater Corridor."

After saying that, Carlyle smiled.

"Alright, the message has been delivered."

"Kid, don't forget your promise to me."

He glanced at Eve with a cryptic look.

Immediately, the figure seemed to merge into the air and disappeared from the balcony.

Lin Gui gripped the Wind Whisperer's Staff, lost in profound confusion.

Master? The master of a legendary high-ranking assassin?

Did you ask him to pass on a message to you?

For some reason, Lin Gui's heart sank suddenly.

These words sounded like more than just a warning not to bring the saintess back.

It was more like... a life-or-death warning directed at him personally.

He turned sharply and stared at Saint Eve:

"What exactly does the future of the Carter capital look like in the prophecy?"

The saintess's face also showed a hint of confusion. She answered softly:

"King Carter will indeed exist in the future."

She walked to the balcony and pointed into the distance.

"but……"

She recalled the prophetic visions,

My finger traced the outline of the refugee district below, showing the crooked, low, and dirty buildings.

"Here, here, and here..."

"It doesn't exist in the future Carter capital I envision."

Her finger moved toward the mountain peak that the palace nestled against.

"This also includes Mount Star, where Carter Palace is located."

"But the city-state of Carter did exist."

She then cited many iconic buildings in the capital.

Although their forms differ from their current state and they are somewhat damaged, they still stand tall.

There hasn't been much change.

However, many of the smaller street buildings seem to be quite different.

Eve wasn't quite sure.

After all, the divine prediction technique was too short-lived, disappearing in just a few seconds.

Eve could only pick out the important parts to look at.

Lin Gui pressed further, "How accurate is your divination?"

The saint paused for a moment, then answered affirmatively:

"In predicting the rise and fall of a city, divine divination has never failed."

Lin Gui's doubts deepened.

Since King Carter was not destroyed.

This means that the Kuroshio Current did not originate in the border regions.

Why does Carlyle's warning carry a sense of impending doom?

Elvia, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back anymore.

She cried out in disbelief:

"Wait! What did you just say was gone?!"

Her voice rose extremely high due to shock.

Lin Gui's newly formed thoughts were instantly interrupted.

He looked at Elvia speechlessly.

"It's just that the palace is gone, why are you making such a big reaction?"

As for how it disappeared, Lin Gui could guess a bit of the reason.

It seems that letting Caesar go was a very good decision.

"Nothing?? How can there be nothing?!"

Elvia almost jumped up, pointing to the distant Starshine Mountain:

"That's the ancestral home of my royal family!!"

Outside the gates of Carter's capital.

On the suspended raft sat a disguised saintess.

Elvia followed them to the outskirts of the city to see them off.

Not far away, Betty was practicing magic on the grass, her expression focused.

Seemingly sensing something, it opened its eyes and then walked towards the direction of the ghost.

Lin Gui knew it was time to say goodbye.

Elvia looked at Lin Gui, appearing somewhat uneasy.

The princess, who was usually very good at socializing, was now holding the messenger bag and didn't know how to say goodbye.

She tried to squeeze out a few tears of farewell, just like in the story, but after trying for a long time, she still failed.

Lin Gui looked at her speechlessly.

Remembering Carlyle's warning, his expression turned serious.

"Elvia, do you remember Eagle Fortress?"

Elvia was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Lin Gui refers to the fact that he designed it for him.

Tell him what happened in the Whispering Woods to the Banshee Queen.

If the Kuroshio truly originated in a remote border region.

Then the actions of the banshees of Eagle Fortress can serve as a warning to Elvia to escape.

Elvia laughed and joked:

"Really? Don't worry, you have to believe the Saintess's prophecy."

Lin Gui didn't laugh; he looked at her intently.

"If...if the banshees of Eagle Fortress leave."

"Elvia, don't take any chances."

"Abandon everything you own and flee to wherever you think you can survive."

Seeing Elvia's stunned expression, Lin Gui smiled again:

"Of course, I hope I'm just overthinking it."

"Is there anything you want me to tell Shia?"

When the half-demon was mentioned, Elvia thought for a moment.

Finally, he took a letter from his pocket, handed it to Lin Gui, and gave him a warning.

"Don't peek at the clams."

Lin Gui was puzzled, but he still accepted the letter.

Then Elvia looked at Lin Gui and said seriously:

"Tell her for me, if Avalon is really found..."

Elvia's expression turned cold.

"Never come out again."

"The inspectors of the City-State Alliance are not to be trifled with."

Lin Gui nodded.

"That's what I wanted to say to her too."

"Alright, goodbye, you cowardly princess."

Elvia's lips twitched slightly before she finally retorted.

Goodbye, messenger crow.

The raft slowly started moving and rose into the air.

Under Lin Gui's control, it flew towards Betty.

Elvia stood there, gazing in the direction the raft had disappeared, remaining motionless for a long time.

On the raft, Lin Gui called upon the system in his mind.

"The system has ended the search."

Search complete.
