Hello, is this a letter addressed to Demon Fortress?

It cost 50 million gold coins, plus three collectible treasures.

The goods that Theodore entrusted to the Seven Coins Post Office must be extremely heavy, perhaps on the order of tens of thousands of tons?

What is the minimum weight requested by Lieyang?

No.

It definitely doesn't weigh 10,000 tons, not even 100 tons.

On the red wall, Elvia looked down at the goods that Theodore had entrusted to them for transport.

It was a strangely shaped box.

It has a volume of approximately two cubic meters.

The surface is covered with a dark metal shell, and several reinforcing steel bars are welded at the corners.

She bent down, gripped the edge of the box with both hands, channeled her inner energy, and then lifted it upwards with force.

The box lifted off the ground, and Elvia raised an eyebrow.

"About one ton."

He turned to look at Lin Gui, his tone carrying a strange undertone.

"Fifty million gold coins, and that's all you're giving away?"

"This money is being made way too easily."

Lin Gui remained silent.

He glanced at the box, then at Theodore.

Clearly, they wanted to hear the other party's explanation.

Fifty million gold coins for a ton of loot...

It's hard not to suspect that there might be something wrong with it.

Theodore stood a few steps away, his hands clasped in front of him, a smile still playing on his lips.

"The item isn't heavy."

His voice was neither hurried nor slow.

"But it's very expensive."

"As long as we can safely escort it to its destination, fifty million gold coins is not a lot."

Lin Gui remained silent for a moment before asking.

"What is the destination?"

Theodore did not answer immediately.

He reached into his pocket and took out a folded piece of parchment.

After unfolding it, I glanced at it and then gave an address.

"Melting City, Old Miners' Street".

"You don't need to look for it deliberately."

"After the fire, the only intact building in that city-state is where you are to deliver it."

"Once you get there, just hand him over to someone named Josh Hudgens."

He closed the parchment, then took out another folded map from his pocket and handed it over.

"This is the golden compass you used to travel on your journey."

"You can follow the Red Wall, pass through the Bluestone Fortress, reach Annabelle, and then travel from Annabelle to Molten Light City."

"This is the safest route, and also the most suitable route for you to head north."

Lin Gui took the map, unfolded it, and glanced at it.

The lines on the paper are clear and detailed.

The locations of cities, water sources, and demon lairs along the way are marked.

He put away the map without saying anything more.

They carefully placed the one-ton box onto the makeshift raft.

This includes a large amount of supplies that were purchased.

The rope was tightened and tied into two tight knots.

Then, taking Elvia and Lillian with him, he mounted his oak staff and glanced at Theodore.

"How is the final payment settled after delivery?"

Theodore smiled.

"Once it's delivered, someone will contact you."

"Rest assured, Lord Lin Gui, not a single one of the fifty million gold coins will be missing."

"The commission has already been delivered to the Transport Association."

"The transport association is a witness."

Lin Gui didn't ask any more questions.

He activated his staff, and the raft slowly rose into the air, drifting southeast along the direction of the red wall.

The three figures receded further and further into the twilight, eventually disappearing at the edge of the red wall.

Theodore stood there, watching the raft disappear into the distance.

The smile on his face slowly faded.

He turned around, abandoning his gentle demeanor, and strode back to the city lord's mansion.

He walked through the long corridor and stopped in front of a wooden door at the end of the corridor, raising his hand to knock three times.

An aged voice came from inside the door.

"Come in."

Theodore pushed open the door and went inside.

The room was dimly lit, with only an oil lamp flickering on the table.

An elderly man with white hair sat behind the table.

Place your hands together on the table.

His cloudy eyes held a sharpness beyond his years.

Theodore walked to the table and bowed slightly.

"They've left, Vice President."

The old man didn't look up, but simply asked a question.

"What did he ultimately choose?"

Theodore paused for a moment, as if recalling the three items Lin Gui had taken from the warehouse.

"A core material for an epic demon, a Soul Lamp of Octavia, and a Magic Crystal Ore."

"All three items are the easiest to sell and have the highest value; there's nothing special about them."

The old man tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"Where did the items come from?"

"An Octavia, a Fog Anchor Bay, a Molten Light City."

The old man raised an eyebrow.

"What about Melting Light City?"

"That highly concentrated magic crystal ore from Molten Light City has a black market price of around 20 million."

The old man did not ask any further questions.

Theodore knew exactly what he wanted to ask.

Theodore paused, then added.

"He also looked at the items in the warehouse that were confiscated from the Spark Organization."

"But there was no reaction."

The old man's fingers stopped tapping.

"What did that traitor say from Dawn's side?"

He said, "It's him."

"The person who helped them obtain the devil's poisonous kiss was also the one the escaped fox pursued."

Theodore shook his head slightly.

"But over the course of three years, he has identified no fewer than ten similar individuals, none of whom are the guy we are looking for."

The old man remained silent for a moment.

"So, do you think he might be?"

Theodore remained silent for a long time.

He recalled the probing he had undertaken along the way, the repeated mentions of the Spark Organization, and their reactions.

His expression was calm, even with a hint of impatience.

There were no flaws whatsoever.

"At most, there's a 3% chance it will be him."

He offered a cautious assessment.

"Although their hair color, eye color, and appearance are very similar, their identities also match; they are both from the background of wandering mages."

"However, their strengths don't match."

"The levitation spell—according to the intelligence we've gathered, that little mage has never mastered it."

"Moreover, according to Kerwell's investigation, he first appeared in a remote area."

"The person we're looking for first appeared in Annabelle City."

"Separated by an entire red desert."

"No one has ever crossed the red desert, so..."

"I don't think he's the one we're looking for."

"and......"

He paused for a moment, then added in a flat tone.

"We don't need to do anything to a dead person."

"Therefore, sir, he cannot become the opportunity for our Overturning Fire Society to rise, as you claim."

The old man's voice was low and deep.

He raised his cloudy eyes, his gaze passing through the flickering oil lamp flame and landing on Theodore's face.

"That thing, has it already been sent out?"

Theodore replied respectfully.

"The goods have already been sent out, and the Alliance will not be aware of this transaction."
