Chapter 1189 – Agent Gathering
”Cough cough cough ……”
Remembrance sat down in front of his desk and coughed twice somewhat awkwardly.
Lin Qiye sat across from him, his expression somewhat subtle, “So, when you left me at the archives and said you were going to work on something important, you were going to a cowboy store?”
”Didn’t I make an appointment with them before I left [Utopia], saying that I’d come and find them for a drink when I got back, I’m keeping my promise to come back for the appointment, so of course it’s something important!” Memorial opened her mouth in a serious manner.
Lin Qiye gazed at her for a moment and let out a long sigh:
”Forget it, anyway, it’s not the first time I’ve bumped into …… you before in Japan’s ‘human circle’, I’m already used to it.
More than that, how are things going with Chouhei?”
Memorial lightly coughed a few times, his expression gradually becoming serious: “I came to find you, just for this matter …… Remember what I told you before, the channel for prying information?”
”Remember.”
”It’s going to start.”
”‘It’?”
”It’s a party.” Remembrance said calmly, “A special party that only divine agents, can participate in.”
Lin Qiye’s eyebrows rose slightly.
”Divine Agents, it’s true that they’re not common within Grand Xia, but there are quite a few of them in the Mists.
With so many god kingdoms in the world, there will always be some gods that have special needs that are not convenient for them to come out on their own, so they find some humans from the ‘human circle’ or elsewhere and bestow them with power to help them reach a certain goal.
According to the statistics of our Upper Evil Society, there are currently fifty to sixty divine agents that have appeared in the mists and have been traced.
These Divine Agents come from different Divine Kingdoms, possessing different intelligence, information, or some items that are specialties of the Divine Kingdoms, and every other year, some of them will agree to hold a secret gathering somewhere to trade with each other and get what they need.”
Memorial tapped the table and thought of some very graphic analogy:
”Let’s put it this way, if we compare the gods of the major divine nations to the concubines in the harem of an ancient emperor, then this gathering is a group of concubines’ personal maids secretly chewing on each other in private.
Which concubine has recently gotten pregnant again, which concubine has recently fallen out of favor, and which concubine has lost the canary she kept ……
Here, you can hear all sorts of strange and bizarre gossip in the harem, but you need to pay some price, such as treasures, or news of the same level.”
Lin Qiye: ……
What kind of brain circuits would one have to have to come up with this kind of strange analogy?
Lin Qiye secretly spat out a sentence and spoke, “So, you think I can find clues about Zhou Ping here?”
”Zhou Ping is the only Daxia Sword Immortal in the world who is a human who became a god, no matter where he goes, he will be the center of attention, and since he has been operating in the Olympus range lately, and since there are so many divine agents in Olympus, there will always be someone who knows some news about him.”
Lin Qiye nodded slightly, “Sounds good …… However, don’t all divine agents represent the gods behind them? There should be a conflict of interest between them, would they really communicate together so peacefully?”
”You’re too high on the relationship between gods and god agents.” Remembrance shook his head and said, “The vast majority of gods and their agents are only in a relationship of utilizing each other, with the gods using their agents as tools to achieve their goals, and the agents using the gods as a source of power.
Of course, there are quite a few exceptions, such as you and Michael, where there is no exchange of benefits at all …… There are even some gods that simply treat their agents as playthings.”
In Memorial’s mind, the faces of Loki and Si Xiaonan appeared.
She paused and continued, “Between agents, there is indeed a conflict of interest, but that’s all their private business, nothing to do with the gods behind them, and even if there is a conflict, it will rarely appear at a gathering, after all, if you annoy the other agents, you will easily be attacked by the group.
At these kinds of gatherings, everyone is trading for the purpose, and generally the lower the profile the better.”
”I see, where is the party location? When will I go?”
”The location of the gathering, it changes every year, but for us, the Upper Evil Society, it’s not that hard to find out this kind of thing …… This year’s location isn’t too far away from here, I’ll give you the map in a while, and I’ll ask He Lin to go there with you tomorrow afternoon.”
”He’s also a divine agent?” Lin Qiye asked in surprise.
”No, but for every agent, you can bring an attendant to enter, and attendants don’t participate in discussions and transactions, they can only wait outside.” Memorial explained.
”This kind of gathering has a lot of hidden rules and conventions, you are inexperienced and going there rashly will easily lead to accidents, he knows a lot of information and can come in handy at critical times.”
”Good.” Lin Qiye nodded.
The next day in the afternoon.
Lin Qiye walked under the central tower of [Utopia] as promised, and He Lin had already been waiting there for a long time.
Since only divine agents could participate in the gathering, Baili Chubby, Cao Yuan, An Qingyu, and the others couldn’t go and could only wait for news from him in [Utopia].
”Meeting again so soon.” Lin Qiye laughed, “How should we get there?”
”There’s a specialized ascending submarine up there, I’ll just operate it.”
He Lin breezed over to a certain floor of the central tower and entered a command to open a pixelated door.
Inside the spacious and bright space, a circular pool of water appeared in front of the Lin Qiye duo.
He Lin tapped a few times on the control panel, and the surface of the pool quickly shook, and after a few seconds, a black pixelated submarine surfaced, and on the side of the submarine, a string of three-digit exclusive numbers were sprayed.
”How many submarines like this do you have?” Lin Qiye asked curiously.
”Not many, about five hundred or so.” He Lin said while doing his inspection work, “But it’s usually not used, when there’s a really important mission, we’re all on the president’s cruise ship, and these small submarines are all the works that the president once used to try his hand at before he made [Utopia].”
Lin Qiye followed He Lin and tumbled into the submarine, closing the hatch, as the submarine started, the two gradually sank into the deep sea.
The submarine wasn’t big, but it was more than enough to accommodate two people, and through the periscope set up in the cabin, Lin Qiye could see the deep sea water as if it were endless, rolling in front of him.
The pixel submarine rose steadily under He Lin’s control, then hovered for a moment to allow the hull to adapt to the change in water pressure and continued to rise ……
After about twenty minutes, the [Utopia] completely disappeared from Lin Qiye’s field of vision, and their position, was gradually approaching the surface of the sea.
When the upper part of the submarine surfaced, Lin Qiye reached out and opened the hatch.
He climbed out of the hatch and stood on the surface of the submarine, with the misty fog surrounding the surroundings, and at a glance, one couldn’t see the edges at all.
