Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

Night falls on the western side of the barren wasteland.

Morgan stood in the center of the camp, his staff deeply embedded in the soil, the magic crystal at the top of the staff emitting a pale blue light.

He closed his eyes and began to chant.

The deep incantation flowed from between his lips, each syllable carrying a steady, magical fluctuation.

A translucent, pale blue light curtain rose from the ground, like an inverted bowl, enveloping the entire camp.

The light screen flickered a few times, then disappeared completely into the air.

The thousands of people, rafts, and supplies in the camp all disappeared.

Inside the magic circle, the extraordinary warriors dispersed and patrolled along the edge of the light barrier.

Once they detect a powerful demon approaching, they will actively lure it away, their figures moving silently through the night.

Those weaker demons would be killed instantly upon stepping into the magic circle.

The body was quickly dragged back to the camp and thrown into a dug pit.

In less than half a day, the pit was filled with the corpses of demons, their dark red blood seeping into the soil and emitting a strong, pungent stench.

At the heart of the camp, Morgan and the other legends sat together, discussing the relocation.

Elvia led the entire discussion.

She provided clear solutions for every aspect, from personnel deployment and material allocation to route selection and emergency plans.

The charcoal pencil moved swiftly in her hand, adding new markings to the map.

At first, legends like Morgan would chime in with a few words, but soon they could only nod.

Leah leaned against the grain sack, her bloodshot eyes fixed on the map, saying nothing.

Hewlett crossed his arms and nodded occasionally.

Cedric's mouth hung open, his expression shifting from initial doubt to bewilderment.

Lin Gui, however, quietly withdrew from the discussion at some point.

He walked to a corner of the magic circle, took out a huge armchair from his storage space, and sat down.

The chair creaked slightly as he sank into it, leaning back against the chair and letting out a long breath.

Then, he pulled a black scroll from his pocket.

That was found on Arthur.

The scroll's shaft was made of jet-black wood, with dark red runes that emitted an ominous glow under the moonlight.

Lin Gui unrolled the scroll and placed it on his lap.

He then took out his magic study notes from the storage space and turned to the last page.

On that page were the incantations and patterns he had copied from the random space teleportation scroll given to him by the system.

He lowered his head and compared the incantation in the notebook with the incantation on the black scroll.

Moonlight streamed down from above, illuminating the yellowed paper.

The spells are very different, but it can be seen that they belong to the same spell system.

Those distorted lines, those bizarre symbols, that unique arrangement—they're all identical.

At the Wailing Wall, Eve told him that she had seen this spell in the Holy Library.

From that moment on, Lin Gui understood that spatial magic was not unique to him.

But he didn't expect to encounter a second person in this wasteland who could use spatial powers.

No, there's more than one.

There are also great sages.

Arthur was just a farmer's son, with no background or foundation.

But he was noticed by the Great Sage, who valued his spatial talent.

Then, he was pushed to a position where even the master of the Hidden Tower had to submit to him.

The Great Sage could see Arthur's spatial talent, so he himself must be a user of spatial magic.

This black scroll was made by the Great Sage.

I recall Edwin using a similar scroll to appear hundreds of kilometers away...

Lin Gui's fingers tightened slightly, his knuckles turning white.

This was very bad news for him.

Dragonbone Mountain can stop the Alliance army and the Black Dragon Army's iron hooves.

But it cannot stop a mage who can teleport.

In particular, he was a mage standing at the very top of Akara, one of the five pinnacles, an epic being.

If the Great Sage pursues the half-demon, he will head straight for the city of Kalan.

Lin Gui clenched his fists silently.

Everything he has planned will be destroyed.

A fragrant breeze wafted over.

A soft body pressed against his arm.

Elvia came to his side after the meeting ended sometime earlier.

She leaned back on the chair, which looked a bit cramped despite its large size.

Her shoulder rested on his, her long golden hair cascading down his arm, carrying a faint fragrance.

"Why do you look so upset?"

Her voice was very soft.

Lin Gui didn't speak, staring at the black scroll on his knee.

Elvia lowered her head, followed his gaze to the scroll, and her golden eyes flickered slightly.

She didn't press further, but instead reached out and gently pressed down on Lin Gui's clenched fist.

"I've been traveling all the way from Karan without even taking a breath."

Her voice was soft as she gently pried open his tightly clenched knuckles.

"Relax when you need to, don't keep yourself too tense."

Lin Gui glanced at her, said nothing, but slowly loosened his fist.

Elvia leaned back on his shoulder.

"Moreover, the problem you're worried about isn't unsolvable."

She paused for a moment.

"As long as we achieve good results in the selection meeting, we will become a member that the Transport Association cannot ignore."

"Even a great sage wouldn't lay a hand on us."

Lin Gui was silent for a moment, then sighed.

"I hope so."

Elvia straightened up from his shoulder and reached into her pocket to pull out a small glass bead.

That is Shadow Blade Lin's Soul Bead.

"When I was fighting that guy, it seems like the teacher used some kind of power to save me."

There was a hint of unease in her voice.

"After that, no matter how I called her, she didn't respond."

She handed the Soul Pearl to Lin Gui.

"Could you check if she's alright?"

Lin Gui took the Soul Pearl, and his eyes turned gray in an instant.

The Eye of the Underworld.

His vision penetrated the outer shell of the Soul Pearl and saw what was inside.

Shadow Blade Lin curled up inside the Soul Orb, like a sleeping cat.

Her body was translucent, glowing with a faint blue light; her expression was calm, and her breathing was steady.

The soul is stable and shows no signs of disintegration, only weakness.

Lin Gui withdrew his gaze and handed the Soul Pearl back to Elvia.

"It's nothing, I'm just too weak and need to rest."

"Once we find materials in the City of a Thousand Towers that can nurture a soul, she will be able to recover."

Elvia took the Soul Orb, held it in her hand, and let out a long breath.

"That's good."

Lin Gui looked at her, his gaze sweeping across her face.

"Elvia, congratulations on breaking through to the extraordinary realm."

Elvia paused for a moment, then slowly curved her lips into a charming smile.

In fact, she felt the changes in her body when she woke up.

That surging power within my body, that sense of clarity amplified infinitely.

It has to be said that she was quite fascinated by this leap.

She leaned to one side, nestling against Lin Gui.

Her fingers traced light circles on his shirt.

"So, how do you plan to reward me?"

Lin Gui tilted his head and then looked at Elvia.

"Want some meat?"

Elvia smiled with satisfaction.

"certainly."
