Chapter 1253 – Furious Saul

　　The smile at the corner of No. 22’s mouth intensified when he received Lin Qiye’s affirmative reply.

　　”What’s your plan?” No. 22 asked immediately.

　　Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and instead of answering the question, he asked rhetorically:

　　”There you are, hiding a few artifacts that you brought out from the King’s Treasure Trove?”

　　No. 22’s face sank.

　　From Gilgamesh’s mouth, Lin Qiye already knew that there were missing artifacts, and at that time, in the treasure trove, aside from the Sumerian Gods and Lin Qiye and the others, the only one who could have possibly taken away the artifacts was Survivor 22.

　　Unsurprisingly, the missing King’s [Holy Grail] and King’s [Sword] were both in his hands.

　　The light in No. 22’s eyes flickered, as if he was struggling with something, while at the same time, Lin Qiye’s voice unhurriedly resounded again:

　　”You’re the one who said that we’re on the same page, and now you still want to hide a divine weapon as a backhand?

　　If you have any means, it’s better to say it earlier so that you can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.”

　　No. 22 clenched his teeth and said stiffly, “That silver lock that can bind the gods, as well as the [Scepter] and [Sword], they are all here with me …… However, they have been taken away by them now.”

　　”So, they left you behind because they wanted to wait until the time of need and then use you to catalyze the [Scepter]?”

　　Lin Qiye immediately guessed the gods’ intentions for leaving 22 behind.

　　”…… Yes.” No. 22 followed, “What does this have to do with our plan?”

　　”Only by knowing under what circumstances they can take the initiative to release you from here can we continue with our subsequent actions, can we not?” Lin Qiye asked rhetorically.

　　No. 22 was silent.

　　”I’m going to think about it.”

　　Lin Qiye also stopped talking and leaned against the corner of the cell alone, closing his eyes as if he was sleeping.

　　In reality, his brain was racing.

　　To be honest, wanting to get out of here wasn’t a difficult task for Lin Qiye, after all, with the [Holy Grail] in his hand, he had the backbone to think about it.

　　But the problem was that his goal wasn’t to simply escape from this place like the 22nd …… His goal was to find the most appropriate time to open the rainbow bridge to Asgard for the gods of Daxia!

　　Once the pattern was opened up, then there were many things to consider.

　　After using the [Holy Grail] himself, would 22 be red-eyed? Would he force Lin Qiye to use the [Holy Grail] to take him out of here? After that, would he backhandedly betray Lin Qiye? Would the sacrifices left behind in the Holy Grail be able to support him in completing this mission?

　　After thinking about it for a while, Lin Qiye gave up on the method of leaving directly with the [Holy Grail], and it was best to not let No. 22 know that the [Holy Grail] was in his hands at all.

　　After all, he knew very well what kind of person No. 22 was.

　　Without using the [Holy Grail], then if you want to leave this place, you can only have Saul personally release the person ……

　　In Lin Qiye’s mind, he quickly recalled the piece of news he heard on the streets of Asgard today.

　　”The missing Shiv ……” Lin Qiye’s eyes slowly opened, as if he thought of something, and a wisp of essence flashed in his eyes.

　　He stood up from the ground and walked quickly to the cell door, slapping the ruddy fence with force.

　　”You seek death?!”

　　A guard, who was responsible for guarding the cage, quickly rushed over and opened his mouth menacingly.

　　”I want to see Saul.” Lin Qiye calmly said.

　　Asgard.

　　Saul walked out of his temple with a gloomy face.

　　”Well?” Shoppingmode War God Till stood at the bottom of the steps and asked.

　　”Nothing.” Thor’s fists clenched tightly, wisps of blood climbing up in his eyes, “Everywhere we can look, we’ve looked, Shiv won’t leave without saying a word, unless ……”

　　”Unless, someone secretly took him captive.” Till picked up the second half of the sentence.

　　Thor didn’t say anything, just silently turned his head to look in a certain direction, and a morose anger surfaced in his eyes.

　　In Asgard, there were not many people who had the ability to secretly take the Harvest Goddess captive, and there was only one …… person who had the motivation to do so.

　　”Loki!!!”

　　Thor let out a low roar, and the muscles in his arms bulged hideously.

　　Only a loud sound was heard, and the steps of the temple under his feet burst into a huge crater, and his body transformed into a thick thunderbolt, instantly slicing through the sky!

　　Shoppingmode War God Till’s figure swayed and followed closely behind.

　　This thunder mixed with killing intent and roar quickly attracted the attention of the Nordic gods along the way, they looked at the direction of Saul’s departure suspiciously, as if they thought of something, their faces changed.

　　Loki Temple.

　　A thunderbolt descended from the sky, splitting the stone tiles all over the ground in front of the temple into tumbling fragments.

　　Thor was draped in a red cloak, holding a silver hammer in his hand, a thunder like a swimming snake flickered around him, and those electric eyes were full of killing intent.

　　”Loki! Come out to me!”

　　Thor roared angrily.

　　Without waiting for an answer, he flashed to the grandiose temple gate, and as the silver hammer was raised, the dense lightning swept like a tsunami, directly crashing through the gate!

　　His roar echoed within the dark and silent hall, and no one stepped out or answered within the tall temple, as if an abyssal mouth was waiting for him to enter.

　　Saul frowned tightly, his feet stepped on the thunder light, stepped into it.

　　Under the flickering thunder light, a long-haired figure was gradually outlined from the darkness.

　　”Si Xiaonan?” Saul’s frown grew tighter as he saw the young girl’s face.

　　He took a step out, and a thunderous light instantly flashed in front of Si Xiaonan, his thick arm strangling Si Xiaonan’s throat and slowly lifting her up from the ground.

　　Under Saul’s terrifying divine power and thunder, Si Xiaonan was powerless to resist, and she grasped Saul’s wrist with both hands, her face pale.

　　”Did you tell me the whereabouts of the King’s Treasure Trove just to sidetrack us and allow Loki to take advantage of the opportunity to take Shiv captive?” Saul’s bloodshot eyes glared at the agonized Si Xiaonan, gritting his teeth and saying in a low voice.

　　”You and Loki, really are both the same.”

　　Si Xiaonan struggled to look into Saul’s furious eyes, his lips pursed slightly, not saying a word.

　　Saul watched with his own eyes as Si Xiaonan’s eyes gradually laxed, his breathing becoming more and more ragged as he gazed into the depths of the great hall, his thunderous voice resounding once again:

　　”Loki! You’re just going to watch me kill your agent? Is your heart really made of iron?!”

　　As the words fell, Saul fought to throw the dying Si Xiaonan, who hit the inner wall of the temple in the corner and let out a muffled grunt of pain.

　　Si Xiaonan trembled as she touched the dark strangulation marks on her neck, breathing frantically as she looked at Saul with a complicated gaze.

　　In the end, Saul still did not lay his hands on her to kill her.

　　Just at this moment, a figure slowly sat up from the throne in the depths of the great hall, and in the dimness, Loki propped up his chin with one hand, squinted down at the thundering Saul below, and sneered:

　　”You won t really kill her anyway …… won t you? My hypocritical and pathetic Thor.”
