Chapter 1209 – Within the Dungeon
”You still say that? If it wasn’t for you selling the news of the [King’s Treasure Trove] to those two Greek Gods, could we have ended up in this situation?”
”What a joke, do you guys think that if I don’t take the initiative to sell it, they won’t make a move? Use your brains and think about it, why did they, the two gods, personally come to the agent gathering?” No. 22 sneered.
”They already knew that someone in this gathering had clues to the [King’s Treasure Trove], even if I didn’t take the initiative to ask, they would have arrested us after the gathering and forced us to ask one by one!
Even their enslavement of us and forcing us to enter the [King’s Treasure Trove] was planned well in advance!
The only difference is that No. 33, the prophet, foresaw their movements in advance and used the false information from the Dual God Agents to lure us into actively attacking No. 03 and No. 04, turning us from the party that was passively beaten into the party that took the initiative to strike ……”
”Quiet!!!”
Outside the cell door, a squire roared angrily.
With glaring eyes, he opened the cell door and walked in, his eyes locked onto No. 22 who had been talking, lifted his right foot, and violently kicked No. 22 in the chest.
No. 22, whose body was bound by silver locks and unable to move his Divine Market, could only be kicked to the edge of the wall like a leather ball.
”Whoever raises their voice again, without waiting for tomorrow’s execution and sacrifice to the three gods, I will kill you tonight!” The squire warned in ancient Greek.
No. 22 collapsed against the wall, staring dead at the departing back of the squire, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes.
When the squire walked away, the crowd relaxed.
”Now is not the time to discuss this, if within three days, we fail to bring the [King’s Treasure Trove] out, everyone is dead.” No. 09, that is, Thor of Thunder’s agent, Jack Cloud, lowered his voice and calmly said.
”What we should do now is to think together if there is still a way out.”
”What way can there be? Our divine ruins are all locked up, and there is an old man …… outside who can siphon off our spiritual power at any time Do we still expect that in this hellish place, there can be some divine warrior to rescue us?”
An agent shook his head helplessly.
His words fell, and in the next moment, all the dancing candle flames within the dungeon went out at the same time!
Cluster-!
The entire dungeon, plunged into a deadly darkness.
”What happened? How did the lights go out?”
”Is there a wind coming in?”
”Don’t all panic, those near the oil lamps hurry to light them, immediately …… poof!”
”……”
In the darkness, some panicked squires, issued a slight muffled grunt, followed by the sound of bodies falling to the ground.
But in five seconds, the squire’s voice completely disappeared.
Splat–!
Immediately after, a crisp ringing finger sound rang out, and all the extinguished candle flames automatically flared up, pulsing in the darkness.
Outside the empty dungeon, there were fallen retainers everywhere, a figure cloaked in black stood in front of the crowd with his back to the light source, his slender shadow was dragged down to the surface of the ancient brick wall, swaying gently along with the candle flames like a demon that had walked from hell.
When the agents saw this scene, their pupils suddenly contracted!
They stared at the figure in front of them in death, not daring to breathe a single breath.
That dark figure raised his hands and gently removed his wide hood, his slightly curly blonde hair naturally falling out, and a familiar western face appeared in front of their eyes.
”It’s you?!” The agents instantly recognized the face and spoke in shock.
”It’s me, Brown Myers.”
Lin Qiye pushed down his monocle and spoke with a smile, “Hello again, gentlemen.”
It took a long time before the crowd got over their shock, and No. 22 gazed at Lin Qiye, narrowing his eyes:
”It seems that you came in here first before we did …… How did you avoid that divine turtle?”
”Everyone has some secrets of their own, don’t they?” Lin Qiye’s smile grew brighter.
”You lied to us with false information, letting us deal with those two gods while escaping yourself!” Someone in the crowd spoke in a cold voice.
”Gentlemen, I never said that number 03 or 04 was the Twin God Agent, I said that the only thing I can guarantee to be correct is the Twin God Agent’s trajectory of action, and as for whether or not he participated in this gathering, it’s just speculation.
And I’ve already reminded you that those two guys have problems, you’re the ones who want to take a shot at them, aren’t you?”
Lin Qiye spoke nonchalantly, “You said that I lied to you guys …… Then you tell me, which part, I told a lie?”
For a moment, the agents were dumbfounded.
Lin Qiye was right, from start to finish, he hadn’t said a single false word, he had only utilized everyone’s coveted mentality towards the Dual God Agents, and added some verbal inducements, prompting them to go against No. 03 and No. 04……. Even if they wanted to pick at his thorns, the crowd couldn’t pick them out.
”Furthermore, those two gods have long had their eyes on you, even without me, you wouldn’t be able to escape at all.” Lin Qiye patiently continued.
”It’s true that I utilized you guys and dragged those two gods down, but if I didn’t, I would have been captured by them just like you guys, and then entered this treasure trove at the same time as you guys, and would have been similarly trapped in the dungeon waiting for my death ……
If that happens, then who else will be able to come to your rescue?”
The agents froze in place at the same time when they heard this.
”Are you saying that you had predicted that things would turn out like this, so you specifically left the party early, entered the treasure vault early, and waited to save us here?” An agent spoke suspiciously, “This is too far-fetched ……”
Number 22 stared intently into Lin Qiye’s eyes, “Why did you save us? Doing so won’t do you any favors.”
”Benefits? Of course there are benefits.” Lin Qiye laughed as he opened his hands and said aloud.
”Within this treasure trove, there are a large number of divine artifacts hidden, any one of them taken out is an existence we can’t touch in the mists……. They’re destined to be divided up by the gods of the various divine kingdoms, where would it be the turn of agents like us?
To put it nicely, we are divine agents, but to put it bluntly …… we are the dogs of the various major divine kingdoms.”
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye clearly felt that the gazes of most of the agents present had changed a bit, and recognition surfaced in the depths of their eyes.
”But here, everything is different.” With a warm voice, Lin Qiye said in a gentle manner, “This [King’s Treasure Trove], which is inaccessible to gods, is the greatest opportunity in this life for us agents!
If we can get one or two divine artifacts from here and bring them out, perhaps we will have the capital to raise our heads …… After all, who doesn’t want a divine artifact in their possession?
But as you can see, within this treasure trove, there are many crises, even if I can predict the future, it’s too dangerous to fight alone.
So I think, we can join hands.
Don’t those two gods want the King’s Treasure Trove?
Just give it to them!
But just how many divine artifacts are hidden in it …… huh, how do they know?
In the process of taking over the treasury, one of us will take one or two artifacts and hide them, and bring them out, so they won’t even realize that the treasury has less hidden items.
In this way, you have completed the mission and you can also get the divine artifacts …… Wouldn’t it be perfect?”
