Chapter 1263 – Exploring the Road
Seeing Till leave, No. 22 also breathed a sigh of relief and came over to Lin Qiye’s side, laughing:
”Not bad for you Myles, surprisingly letting him release us so quickly, but ……”
He paused and looked down at the sword wound on his shoulder, his brow wrinkled slightly, “However, this wound is indeed a trouble, Till’s sword remembers the smell of our blood, no matter where we run, he will catch up with us……. Unfortunately, if only the [Holy Grail] was around, just make a wish, and a little trick like this will soon be would be taken care of.”
Lin Qiye spoke expressionlessly:
”Rice should be eaten one bite at a time, being able to temporarily get out of the cage is already a good start, not to mention that now that the Rainbow Bridge is broken, the entire Asgard is completely closed, even without this wound, we can’t escape.”
”Then what next?”
”There’s no way, we can only take one step at a time.” Lin Qiye said indifferently, “Although we can’t get out, our lives aren’t in danger here, as long as we wait some more time …… there might be a turnaround.”
No. 22 nodded in silence.
”By the way, what’s up with that 27? Why did he appear in Asgard? Is he even a god as well?” No. 22 remembered the scene where No. 27 instantly killed Loki just now and asked in doubt.
”I’m not sure what he is, but right now it’s best not to reveal the fact that we know him, or else there will be more suspicions on us.”
”…… Well, indeed.”
The two walked along the road in front of the divine hall for a while, neither of them spoke again, and now that they were able to leave their cages and move freely, both of their minds were alive.
Finally, Lin Qiye was the first to speak:
”You go ahead and nurse your wounds, I’ll take a look around.”
No. 22 was silent for a moment and nodded, “Okay, then I’ll go first.”
Both of them bid farewell to each other with smiles on their faces before Lin Qiye left straight ahead along the main road of Asgard.
As he watched Lin Qiye’s figure fade away, No. 22’s eyes narrowed slightly.
”Trying to get rid of me …… Hmph, I’d like to see what tactics you secretly have.”
No. 22 knew very well in his heart that although the two were now polite on the surface, in their hearts, they both hated to get each other killed, as was the case with Lin Qiye’s actions in the Underworld before, but the difference between the two was that Lin Qiye could just look for an opportunity to get No. 22 killed and keep his secret, while No. 22 had to rely on Lin Qiye to leave Asgard before he could think of a way to kill him.
Without Lin Qiye, it would be hard as hell for No. 22 to escape Asgard by himself.
Judging from his situation, No. 22 had already been dead weighted down by Lin Qiye, and if he continued to let Lin Qiye take more initiative, then he was going to be completely taken down.
No. 22 broke off one of his own fingers and flicked it out, the blood covered fingertip quickly wriggled into a ball of flesh, splitting into a few soybean sized worms and chasing after Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye walking on the roads of Asgard didn’t attract too much attention.
Asgard wasn’t just gods, more precisely, the number of gods in this godly country was very sparse, and what was most abundant here were the maids of honor as well as guards that served various gods. Just like the ancient dynasties of Da Xia, there are not many royal relatives living in the palace, and the most are the maids, eunuchs, and guards that are used to serve these royal relatives …….
Lin Qiye looked around, on both sides of the road, there were many maidens dressed in sarongs walking quickly, their realm fluctuations were not high, most of them were around the “Chuan” realm, they were either holding gorgeous godly clothes in their hands or carrying sweet fruit baskets on their wrists, they seemed to be in a hurry.
On the other hand, most of the guards from the Nordic War Department who rode through on warhorses were “Limitless” or even “Klein”.
Other than that, there were also humans like Lin Qiye who were obviously from the outside world, but the number was very small, and all of them had an expression of “don’t get close to anyone”; if Lin Qiye was right, they were the agents of the Asgardian Gods.
”Eh?”
Lin Qiye’s gaze stared as if he had sensed something, and his afterglow glanced behind him.
Someone was staring at him?
Although he didn’t use his spiritual power to perceive, this feeling of being watched made Lin Qiye feel instinctively uncomfortable, and after hesitating for a moment, he cautiously spread his spiritual power a little, searching his surroundings without disturbing any gods.
Finally, a few little meatball bugs appeared in his range of perception.
22 No. …… This guy is really a shadowy soul.
Lin Qiye snorted coldly in his heart.
He pretended not to notice and continued to keep his hands in his pockets as he continued along this main road, turning around from time to time, stopping and looking around curiously, as if he was really an aimless tourist.
”Is he really just turning around?” No. 22, who clearly saw this scene in his eyes through those little meatball insects, thought to himself with some doubt.
Of course he didn’t know that in Lin Qiye’s brain, every street he walked through right now was corroborating and overlapping with the map he had memorized earlier.
He was planning his course of action.
From Sol’s temple, to the Miracle Square, to the Rainbow Bridge.
In his mind, he was constantly simulating how to rush to the Rainbow Bridge from any corner of Asgard at the fastest speed after obtaining the Sacred Rainbow Sword, where he might meet enemies, which terrain might be favorable to him, and which places were dead ends.
Although he did not yet have a specific plan of action to get the Holy Rainbow Sword, whether it was stealing, cheating, or robbing …… In short, he had to prepare for the worst.
There was another crucial reason why he had to find the dungeon where the memorial was located.
Lin Qiye passed through two streets one after another and slowly stopped in front of a dark and gloomy shrine, more than twenty Nordic War Department members clad in black armor and seven to eight meters tall strictly guarded outside the shrine, as if they were a tall stone statue with a solemn and morose look.
Lin Qiye’s gaze swept over the huge door that was tightly sealed behind them as he calmly stepped away and continued walking into the distance.
His brows furrowed slightly.
How to avoid the Nordic War Department and sneak into the dungeon while being localized by Till’s sword was a big problem.
Moreover, the map only marked where the dungeon was located and didn’t draw the internal structure, and with the Nordic War Ministry guarding it, Lin Qiye didn’t dare to rashly use his spiritual power to infiltrate down to test the waters, and how to find the location of the memorial was also a problem.
Lin Qiye pondered while traveling along the road, eventually arriving at a wide and grand square, white stone tiles covered the ground, even though countless pairs of feet stepped over it one after another, it was still immaculate, holy and mysterious.
Lin Qiye looked up and saw that in the center of the square, a black hill loomed large, and it was only when he got closer that Lin Qiye vaguely recognized it as a god statue.
The surface of this idol was covered with a layer of black gauze, completely concealing the idol’s face.
Lin Qiye swept over this idol with his spiritual power, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
This was the idol of the former Nordic God King, Odin.
