Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

The triggering of the system task did not allow Lin Gui to relax in the slightest.

He continued to stare intently at the grotesque and twisted mermaid soul before him.

As long as the other party makes any unusual moves

He would immediately activate the Night Gown and escape.

no way.

Lin Gui has been in this world for so many years.

Almost all skill points were allocated to escaping and stealth.

The only offensive spells available, [Shadow Strike] and [Wind Blade], are of very limited power.

In a direct confrontation, he would be almost always outmatched by any opponent of the same level.

Fortunately, the riot of the mermaid's soul only lasted for a moment before gradually subsiding.

Its shape returned to normal, and its eyes became blank again.

"What...what's wrong with me?"

Lin Gui remained vigilant and asked in a deep voice:

"Don't you remember what just happened?"

"What?" The mermaid soul looked confused.

"Sigh—" Lin Gui sighed and finally put down his staff.

"Never mind. You just said you were going to send a message to the Alliance Council?"

The mermaid's soul nodded quickly.

"I'll take you there once I've finished what I'm doing."

The mermaid's soul was initially delighted, but then looked at Lin Gui warily:

"Why are you helping me? Human, do you have some ulterior motive?"

Lin Gui's dead fish eyes:

"Or should I just throw you into the toilet right now?"

"No, no, no! Big brother, I was wrong!" The mermaid immediately gave in.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Lin Gui canceled the Netherworld Eye.

The mermaid's soul vanished from his sight.

This wasn't a true disappearance; it was just that without special visual enhancement, he couldn't perceive the other party.

Carefully place the glass beads into your pocket.

The voice of the system sounded in my mind:

【Do you want to confirm enabling additional delegation?】

Lin Gui replied irritably:

"Let's talk about it when I return to the City of a Thousand Towers."

The City-State Alliance Council is located in Dawn City, the largest city in the human world.

The most central location of the city-state is tens of thousands of kilometers away from here...

It will probably take a year and a half to get there from here.

He first had to fulfill his long-standing commission to escort Shia to Avalon.

Then send the replies received along the way back to Karan and the city of the New Testament.

Only then can we consider this transcontinental mission.

"Or..." Lin Gui suddenly had an idea.

"Should we have someone send it to you?"

His gaze unconsciously drifted towards the direction of the North Wind Caravan's camp outside the window.

For example... asking the North Wind Caravan to deliver it along the way?

I recall a scholar saying that their North Wind caravan needed to transit through Dawn City during their transport operations.

Although he was short of money, Lin Gui still had the barrier stone he had obtained from the rebels.

He believed that Freya would be willing to help him carry the glass bead as payment.

It was delivered to the City-State Alliance Council.

However, we'll have to wait until we arrive at Shield City to discuss that.

He gazed out the window at the dark, silent sea, his brow furrowed.

Do we really have to use that method to travel through?

It's no wonder Lin Gui felt conflicted.

The way the North Wind Caravan planned to traverse this forbidden area was truly inconceivable.

It is neither air travel nor sea travel.

Instead... we walked from the seabed.

The next morning.

"What?! We have to walk across the seabed?!"

Shia's scream echoed throughout the camp.

Her face turned pale, and she waved her hands repeatedly:

"But...but I can't swim!"

Betty quickly comforted her:

"Don't worry, Shia, you don't need to know how to swim."

"With the magic of Teacher Freya and Master Poseidon, the seawater can't touch us at all."

"We walk on the seabed; we don't need to swim."

Just as Betty said.

The North Wind Caravan's plan was for Freya to join forces with Poseidon, the strongest sea mage at Twin Reefs.

Cast a large-scale isolation barrier and an underwater breathing array.

The entire team will trek across the seabed.

An area must be designated as a no-go zone by the alliance exploration team.

It usually has one of three characteristics.

First, the number of demons is extremely large, with at least ten epic-level and one hundred legendary-level demons active.

Secondly, there are unknown laws.

Thirdly, those with titles or high-ranking status cannot pass through.

The reason why the Silent Sea is listed as a forbidden area is precisely the second reason.

A strange law exists in this sea area—

Here, the concept of buoyancy completely disappears.

Whether it flies in the sky, floats on the sea, or swims in the ocean.

They will eventually sink to the bottom of the sea.

This is why the North Wind Caravan had to choose to walk on the seabed.

Because in this sea area, any method of travel relying on buoyancy is futile.

If the problems of oxygen and seawater pressure can be solved, traveling from the seabed is indeed a viable option.

According to scholar Eli, the North Wind Caravan has successfully traversed this route at least seven times using this method.

The process is quite mature.

In terms of danger, it might not be as dangerous as crossing the forest outside Twilight Fortress.

"It's a bit scary," the scholar concluded.

Lin Gui thought to himself: It's more than just "a little" scary.

If anything goes wrong along the way, everyone will perish at sea.

For this journey, the train will be driven by the skilled Lin Gui.

Besides the legendary sea mage Poseidon, others also participated in this operation.

There is also the goblin leader of Twin Reefs, a goblin hero named "Stone Tooth".

And his several children.

Their reason for accompanying them was simple: as hostages.

The North Wind Caravan discovered this absurd method of time travel.

It all started six years ago.

Freya, who had just entered the legendary realm at that time, established the North Wind Caravan.

In order to make a name for her transport team, she accepted the commission from the City-State Alliance to explore the Silent Sea.

I stumbled upon Twin Reefs by accident.

At that time, the goblin chieftain was leading his people through a difficult start.

As a race that has always lived on land, they want to survive on the island.

Even a race as easy to feed as goblins is having a very difficult time.

At that time, Stone Tooth took the initiative to connect Freya with the legendary sea creature, Poseidon.

Then they found a path leading to the City of Shields beneath the Silent Sea.

However, starting from the seabed is ultimately too shocking.

In the end, Stone Tooth risked his life in Freya's hands to gain her trust.

He led the North Wind Caravan from the seabed and successfully traversed the silent sea.

Freya's actions also helped the North Wind Caravan gain a reputation in the transportation industry.

In return, the North Wind Caravan would bring supplies here every year thereafter.

They would bring the goblins here, as well as the sea creatures that would gradually arrive on the island, the supplies they needed.

And this gifting lasted for 6 years.

It has always been customary for Shi Ya to personally accompany them as hostages.

If anything unexpected happens, he will die along with the North Wind Caravan.

This also includes his descendants.

Stone Teeth tells everyone in the most straightforward way:

This route, which crosses the silent seabed, is safe.

Lin Gui looked at the green-skinned, exceptionally tall goblin hero.

He was silently letting his offspring climb onto the train.

The rough, large hand pressed down on the top of each little goblin's head in turn.

The movements were clumsy, yet carried an undeniable determination.

For the survival of their tribe, these goblins...

They have learned to express their utmost sincerity in the most ruthless way.
