# Chapter 1190: Brown Miles
"How long until we arrive?" Lin Qiye asked.
"The submarine voyage takes about five hours, and the remaining two hundred-plus kilometers we'll have to cover on foot." He Lin said helplessly with a smile, "Neither the submarine nor any other pixel vehicle from the Oath Society can approach the area where the envoys gather, or we'll be surrounded."
"Why?"
"Well... this mainly relates to what the Oath Society does in the Mist." He Lin cleared his throat lightly.
"As you know, the Oath Society's most frequent activities take place within the various divine kingdoms' Human Enclosures. We're always finding ways to infiltrate and cause trouble for the divine kingdoms. Besides that, we often excavate ruins and secrets of the various divine kingdoms. If we encounter envoys from other divine kingdoms on the road, we'll give them a lesson and leave some toll money. But if we encounter envoys who commit evil acts, we'll directly mete out heavenly justice..."
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment:
"Raiding home bases, grave-robbing, highway robbery, and killing for profit?"
"...You could put it that way." He Lin gave an awkward smile. "So in the eyes of the various divine kingdom forces, we're all rats that everyone shouts to beat.
However, although we do many things, we almost never shake a divine kingdom's foundations. At most, we can just annoy them. So the truly powerful Chief Gods, or even those at the supreme level, wouldn't bother paying attention to us. Meanwhile, weak envoys or some Lesser Gods can't do anything about us.
The Oath Society grew slowly in this kind of precarious middle ground."
"Here's a way to put it—today, at this envoy gathering, if forty envoys are attending, nearly thirty of them have been robbed by us. Tell me, what would they do if they saw an Oath Society pixel vehicle?"
"...I understand."
Lin Qiye quickly accepted the reality.
As the submarine advanced, the outline of land emerged from the misty haze.
"We're about there. The remaining distance, we'll have to cover ourselves." He Lin controlled the pixel submarine, hiding it in a stretch of sea, then stepped onto land.
"Can we fly over using Forbidden Ruins?" Lin Qiye asked.
Two hundred kilometers, though not long for them, would be a waste of time on foot. Using Somersault Cloud, they could arrive quickly.
"This is exactly what I was preparing to remind you about." He Lin spoke seriously. "At this gathering, try not to expose your identity. Especially the Seraph and Nyx's God's Ruins—absolutely do not use them.
The news that you're a dual-god envoy has spread from Great Xia to the Mist. Many people are now looking for you, wanting to learn the secret of becoming a dual-god envoy.
Additionally, given Great Xia's recent special circumstances, if a Great Xia divine envoy appears in the Mist, they'll immediately become a target for other envoys. After all, if they can extract even a little bit of information about Great Xia's divine movements from you, they could gain substantial benefits when they return to their respective divine kingdoms.
You possess both of these conditions. Once your identity is exposed, you'll become the focus of everyone's attention.
The President's intention is for you to use another divine envoy's identity to blend into the gathering."
Lin Qiye's eyebrows rose slightly.
A dual-god envoy?
It seems the intelligence among these envoys in the Mist really isn't very current...
The matter of dual-god envoys spread while Lin Qiye was still at training camp, but that wasn't their fault. After that, none of Lin Qiye's other abilities were on record, and he was always publicly referred to as a dual-god envoy. The envoys in the Mist were lucky to even get this much information.
"That's simple."
Lin Qiye waved his hand casually, and a brilliant magic array blossomed beneath his feet as his form was engulfed in magical radiance.
When the light faded, Lin Qiye's appearance was gone. In its place stood a young Western man in a black tuxedo, wearing a gentleman's hat, and an antique monocle perched on his nose.
Soft golden curls spilled messily from beneath the hat brim, outlining elegant facial contours. Deep blue eyes resembled mysterious oceans. He微笑着 pushed up his monocle, radiating an air of profound knowledge and casual elegance.
"Will this work?" Lin Qiye smiled.
"What is this..."
"A envoy of Merlin, the God of Prophecy and Magic." Lin Qiye paused. "My name is... Miles. Brown Miles."
In the eyes of the various divine envoys in the Mist, Lin Qiye was a dual-god envoy of the Seraph and the Night Goddess Nyx. They didn't know about his other divine envoy identities. Merlin belonged to English mythology, which had gradually declined long ago. Even if someone wanted to investigate his background, it would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
Merlin's envoy was the perfect cover for Lin Qiye.
If he was a envoy of the God of Magic, casually summoning a dragon would be perfectly reasonable, wouldn't it?
Lin Qiye pressed his palm against empty space. A summoning spell blossomed, and a massive Flame-Vein Earth Dragon burst from the magic array. It carried Lin Qiye and He Lin on its body, its wings beating once as it streaked across the sky.
"Is this kind of entrance too flamboyant?" He Lin stood on the dragon's back. The moment the words left his mouth, he shook his head on his own. "Then again... being flamboyant is indeed an effective form of disguise for us. The more high-profile we are, the less anyone would dare doubt us."
"Since we're playing the role of a magic god's envoy, we should commit to the full performance." Lin Qiye pushed up his monocle, a hint of a smile curling his lips.
"From now on, I am Brown Miles... The proud Brown Miles, obsessed with magical research.
Praise the God of Magic!"
Lin Qiye placed both hands over his chest, pinching the gold-edged buttons embroidered with stars and moons between his fingers. He recited in a low voice, like a devout Believer.
He Lin打量了他一眼，点头感慨道："人设已经给自己立好了……看来，你很有做卧底的天赋。"
"过奖。" Lin Qiye谦逊一笑。
狂风在Lin Qiye耳边呼啸，随着Flame-Vein Earth Dragon全速前进，残破荒芜的大地之上，一座座古老的废弃建筑掠过两人的视线。..
"这里的建筑，倒是挺特别。" Lin Qiye诧异开口。
"迷雾降临之前，这一片都属于欧洲大陆，跟Great Xia的文化差异很大，可惜现在都只能看到残骸。"
He Lin extended his hand, pointing toward a magnificent building standing in the mist in the distance. "The location of your gathering was, before the Mist descended, also a very famous building. I think it was called... Notre Dame?"
Lin Qiye found the name familiar, though he couldn't quite place where he'd seen it before.
Just as Lin Qiye and his companion rode the Flame-Vein Earth Dragon, making a flamboyant dive from the sky, several figures inside the ruined Notre Dame looked up simultaneously. Through the glass-like windows, they gazed at the dragon silhouette howling through the mist.
"What the hell is that..."
