Chapter 1270 – I Can Only Try

　　”You can come out now.”

　　Inside the dead silent room, Lin Qiye gently exhaled, a wisp of smoke and haze mixed with the gas rolled out and quickly transformed into a figure cloaked in a black cloak.

　　No. 27 stood in the dim shadows, and after a long time, he spoke in a low voice:

　　”The scent of thunder lingers around here ……”

　　”This is next to Sol’s shrine, of course there will be his scent.” Lin Qiye looked out the window at Asgard, which was shrouded in hazy moonlight, “The most dangerous place is the safest place, if you stay here to heal, Saul won’t be able to find out for a while.”

　　He turned and walked over to the table and sat down, only to see 27 still standing like a statue in the shadows of the corner and asked suspiciously:

　　”Aren’t you going to sit down?”

　　”I can recover faster in the shadows.” No. 27 said hoarsely, and after a moment’s pause, volunteered, “You shouldn’t have taken the risk of hiding me in your body.”

　　”Why?”

　　”I help you kill the god, you help me find someone, this is the deal between us …… The deal does not require you to save me.

　　My assassination failed, you can completely leave me behind and save yourself, there is no need to risk your life.”

　　After hearing No. 27’s solemn words, Lin Qiye was stunned for a long time and helplessly laughed:

　　”There’s no need to be so serious, saving you is just because it’s smooth.”

　　”This isn’t being more serious, this is respect for the contract.” No. 27’s voice was unprecedentedly serious.

　　”…… Whatever you think.”

　　Lin Qiye could sort of see that this No. 27 was mostly a bit of a deadhead, so he simply didn’t dwell on this matter with him excessively and asked instead:

　　”By the way, how did you know that your assassination failed?”

　　No. 27 didn’t say anything, but just silently took out a lump of pitch-black stuff from under his cloak and threw it on the ground.

　　The mass rolled across the ground with a grunt and was exposed to the moonlight spilling out of the window, and only then did Lin Qiye see that it was an oddly shaped skull.

　　The reason why it was odd was because the surface of this skull was pitted, as if it was pieced together from different people’s skulls after they were cracked, without the slightest sense of proportionality of a human skull.

　　Sure enough, it’s the same as that Loki corpse in the Underworld.

　　Lin Qiye secretly thought.

　　”When did you blend into Asgard?” Lin Qiye asked the question he was most concerned about.

　　”After I parted ways with you that day, I’ve been squatting near Asgard, but I was never able to enter because of the rainbow bridge breaking, and it wasn’t until Thor and the other gods descended into the mists through the rainbow bridge that I took the opportunity to reverse my way into Asgard.” Number 27 spoke nonchalantly, “After that, I was always looking for an opportunity to assassinate Loki, but the time was never ripe.

　　It wasn’t until Thor returned from the outside world with you that I vaguely smelled an opportunity, and took advantage of that one-armed God of War’s rest to hide in his shadow, and since both he and Thor are Loki’s enemies, then as long as I seized the opportunity of the two defeats, I was able to kill him in a single blow ……”

　　”However, it’s the first time I’ve seen one who stabbed his heart and decapitated his head and still managed to stay alive.” No. 27’s voice fluctuated slightly, as if he was a little surprised and a little helpless, and

　　”This assassination, it was me who failed …… But next time, I will never miss.”

　　Seeing this, Lin Qiye didn’t say anything more and just quietly leaned against the wall, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

　　The early morning sunrise spilled onto the ground, and Lin Qiye’s eyelashes lightly fluttered as he slowly opened his eyes.

　　From entering the King’s Treasure Trove to being tied to Asgard midway, his spirit had been in a highly tense state, and not long after closing his eyes last night, he fell into a deep sleep.

　　Once he woke up from his sleep, Lin Qiye only felt refreshed, his gaze swept around and realized that No. 27 in the corner had disappeared.

　　”No. 27?” Lin Qiye spoke in a small voice.

　　”I’m in your shadow.” No. 27’s voice came out in a ghostly voice.

　　”Your strength has recovered?”

　　”Recovered half of it right …… It will still take some time.”

　　Lin Qiye nodded and was about to say something else when his shadow suddenly shifted and No. 27’s voice resounded once again:

　　”Saul is here.”

　　Hearing these words, Lin Qiye’s gaze condensed and he immediately spoke, “Just like yesterday, hide inside my body!”

　　After a fit, No. 27 quickly transformed into smoke and haze, following Lin Qiye’s breath as it rolled into his lungs and disappeared into the room in a matter of moments.

　　A few seconds later, a powerful knock sounded.

　　He still knew to knock?

　　It seemed like he should not have realized about No. 27 hiding in his place.

　　Lin Qiye coughed twice, “Please come in.”

　　The door to the room pushed open, and Saul’s tall figure stood outside, and since the doorframe was really a bit on the short side compared to his size, from Lin Qiye’s perspective, he could only see Saul’s neck.

　　”Myles, come out.” Saul’s helpless voice came from outside.

　　Lin Qiye got out of bed and quickly walked out.

　　He only saw Saul standing outside the door with a haggard face, somewhat listless as if his divine power was overdrawn.

　　”Lord Saul, what are you ……”

　　Lin Qiye of course knew that Saul was physically and mentally exhausted from not chasing after 27 all night, but at a time like this, there was still a need to pretend.

　　”I’ll get straight to the point, Myles.” Saul lowered his head, gazed into his eyes, and spoke seriously, “You said that your prophecy spell can only be used once a day, so I want to ask you to find someone today.”

　　”Looking for someone again?” Lin Qiye froze, “Looking for who?”

　　”The Outer God assassin who assassinated Loki yesterday.”

　　Lin Qiye: ……

　　Seeing that Lin Qiye looked a bit odd, Saul thought that he didn’t understand and continued, “It’s that mysterious Outer God who chopped Loki’s head off with a single slash in the Underworld yesterday, the Nordic War Department and I had already turned the entire Asgard upside down last night, and we still haven’t found him……. However, he must still be hiding in Asgard somewhere.

　　I know it’s very difficult for you to locate a god, but just like yesterday, I just need a general location.”

　　Lin Qiye coughed twice and hesitated for a moment, “This …… I can only try.”

　　”Then try.” Without waiting for Lin Qiye to say more, Saul’s broad palm, he slapped Lin Qiye’s shoulder, nearly shaking the 27 out of his lungs, “I injured him badly during the engagement last night, I brought a tube of his blood, maybe you prophecy can use it.”

　　Lin Qiye received the blood handed over by Saul with a somewhat complicated expression, he then asked curiously:

　　”By the way, what exactly was the origin of that assassin yesterday?”
