Chapter 1271 – Transferring the Tiger away from the Mountain
Seeing Lin Qiye ask, Saul didn’t hide anything and said truthfully:
”The exact identity, I’m still investigating as well, but judging from his ability to assassinate Loki yesterday and the power of the law generated when he did it, it’s very likely that he’s an extremely ancient mythological survivor.”
”Mythological survivor? Which myth?”
”That myth has no name.” Saul shook his head and said, “It is the embodiment of the most primal fear and respect for nature when mankind hadn’t fully evolved into humans, and it is also the foundation from which all subsequent myths were derived.”
Upon hearing these words, Lin Qiye’s mind immediately conjured up a scene of a group of primitive humans who had yet to master language and writing kneeling on top of the pale earth, kowtowing and kneeling to the flames produced by the sky’s lightning striking the trees.
In the eyes of primitive human beings, nature is their faith and the source of their fear.
Fearing thunder, they prayed to it in their hearts, and longing for fire, they worshipped it as the origin of life.
In other words, the ancient myths in Saul’s mouth were actually the most primitive incarnation of nature?
”As mankind gradually possessed intelligence and mastered language and writing, due to the differences in geography, this ancient primitive myth began to be replaced by a variety of well-established mythological systems, the primitive gods gradually withered away, and the laws began to be divided by gods corresponding to different god kingdoms, which gave rise to the many god kingdoms of the present.”
”So, all of these primordial gods have disappeared?”
”The vast majority of them have disappeared, but there are very few exceptions, under the development of human wisdom, some gods began to take the initiative to transform the primordial laws that they were in charge of, to relatively modern laws, and existed in the world in a different cognitive form, such as that Outer God from last night.”
”Him? Which god is he?”
”The god of assassination and assassins.” Sol paused, “If we’re not mistaken, his predecessor was the god of hunting in primitive mythology.
Since writing hadn’t been invented in those times, he didn’t have a name either.”
”The God of Assassination and Assassins?”
Lin Qiye’s mind pondered as he recalled the image of 27 killing Loki in seconds yesterday.
No wonder he killed Loki so crisply, even the many Lord Gods present didn’t react, if it wasn’t for the fact that he was targeting Loki, the God of Trickery, and if it was any other Lord God, I’m afraid that no one would have been able to escape.
Lin Qiye contemplated for a moment before walking towards the safe house with the blood given by Saul.
A few minutes later, Lin Qiye walked out of it with a haggard face.
”Well?” Seeing this, Saul hurriedly opened his mouth and asked.
”That God of Assassins, there seems to be some sort of thing on his body that’s hiding his ? 耍俺5脑ぱ允醺咎讲椴坏剿奈恢谩! 绷制咭购廖扪乃娇眨槿醯乃档溃拔腋冻隽艘恍┐郏琶闱 康玫剿桓鲂∈鼻暗拇笾挛恢谩?
Saul’s eyes lit up when he heard the words.
”Where is it?”
”In the snowy mountains in the northernmost border of the Giant Country.” Lin Qiye paused for a moment and continued, “However, this location is only where he was an hour ago, there’s no guarantee that he’s still there right now …… but if he was hurt badly, he shouldn’t have left by now.”
”The northern border of the Giant Kingdom?”
Saul’s brows furrowed slightly.
This place, but the entire Nordic God Country’s northernmost and most remote place, from here, even a god would need nearly half a day’s journey, not to mention the snowy mountain range was extremely large, in order to find all of it inch by inch, it would take at least a day.
This round trip would be two days.
This God of Assassins really knows how to pick a place ……
Saul scratched his head in a tangled mess and continued to ask, ”Your prophecy, can it be any more precise? Perhaps it can be narrowed down to the bits of a specific mountain peak ……”
Before Saul’s words fell, Lin Qiye’s face turned white again, and his legs softened as he nearly fell to the ground.
Saul was quick on his feet and pulled Lin Qiye back.
A few wisps of blood seeped out from the corner of Lin Qiye’s mouth, and he smiled miserably, “Lord Saul, being able to make it this far …… is already my limit …… Cough cough… …”
The current Lin Qiye, looks like a candle in the wind, has reached the appearance that the wind can casually blow and pass away on the spot, Saul saw this, the words that came to his mouth or silently swallowed back.
”…… Well, in that case, you should first recuperate here, I’ll take someone out.”
Saul helped Lin Qiye to sit down on the ground, turned around and transformed into a thunderbolt, leaving the temple, supposedly to gather Till as well as the Nordic War Department to head to the northern border of the Giant Kingdom to track down the whereabouts of the 27th.
Lin Qiye weakly lay on the stone, and only after a full ten minutes, confirming that Sol had gone far away, did he slowly sit up.
”Successful ……,” the corner of Lin Qiye’s mouth rose slightly.
The intelligence that number 27 was in the snowy mountains in the northern border of the Giant Kingdom was naturally something he made up, after the last time he prophesied in the Underworld to save Shiv, Saul and the others completely put their guard down against him, and were even more trusting of his prophecies, so even if he casually pointed to a place, Saul and the others would try to look for it.
And Lin Qiye simply pointed directly to the most remote place in the Nordic God Country, in this way, when Sol and the other gods left Asgard, he would have at least two days of free time to move.
These two days were enough for him to do a lot of things.
As expected, the decision to use the [Holy Grail] to raise the favor of Sol and the others at any cost before was the right one.
After supporting Sol and the other gods, Lin Qiye left the temple straight away and quickly arrived near the Abyssal Dungeon that he had already stepped on yesterday.
Sol and the other gods as well as most of the Nordic War Department’s battle force had been transferred, so now was the perfect time to enter the Abyssal Dungeon to rescue Remembrance, Lin Qiye walked to a nearby unoccupied corner, reached out and pressed his hand in the void, and a splendid magic formation bloomed.
A short mummy appeared out of thin air and hung on his shoulder, babbling something.
Lin Qiye reached out his hand and touched the mummy’s head as he spoke softly:
”Make a wish, Absolute Concealment.”
A psychedelic light flashed from Mu Mu’s abdomen, and Lin Qiye’s figure unexpectedly began to gradually become transparent, but in a matter of seconds, it disappeared as if it had completely vaporized.
With Lin Qiye’s realm that hadn’t even reached the human ceiling, wanting to break into the Nordic Divine Kingdom’s abyssal dungeon to save someone was tantamount to a fool’s errand, and the only way to do so was to borrow the [Holy Grail]’s power of wishing to give himself the opportunity to sneak into it.
This absolute concealment could not just be as simple as concealing one’s appearance, the vitality, the odor, the faint air currents generated by one’s movements, all of it would be concealed by the [Holy Grail].
Lin Qiye was certain that even the Evil Wolf Fenrir who guarded the Abyssal Dungeon would not be able to sense his presence under these circumstances.
Lin Qiye carried Mu Mu on his back like a pendant and quickly walked towards the dungeon not far away.
