Chapter 1194: The Gods' Objective
Si Xiaonan ranked fifth?
In Lin Qiye's mind, he quickly recalled his battle with Si Xiaonan at the Kunlun Ruins. Although Si Xiaonan had ultimately lost, her strength had exceeded Lin Qiye's expectations, yet she could only claim the fifth position among the 【Ten Foreguards】…
So there were indeed formidable figures among the神明's agents in the mist.
He wondered if any of the 【Ten Foreguards】 were hiding among the agents at this gathering.
After agent 05, the other participating agents asked their questions and received their tokens in an orderly manner, but most were trivial matters like finding lost objects or people—nothing that could capture Lin Qiye's interest.
Meanwhile, agents 03 and 04, whom Lin Qiye had been watching closely, remained seated quietly in their spots, seemingly content to just observe.
Before long, agent 21 sat back down, and agent 22 stood up immediately after.
His gaze swept across the surroundings as he said calmly:
"I don't need anything, but I have a piece of classified information. If anyone's interested, we can trade for it with something else…"
You could do that? Lin Qiye raised an eyebrow in surprise.
The next moment, what agent 22 said made his expression shift abruptly.
"Does anyone know the oldest hero king… Gilgamesh?"
The moment those words landed, not only Lin Qiye—03 and 09, who had been motionless all along—simultaneously looked up at the standing agent 22, their eyes narrowing slightly.
Lin Qiye caught this detail.
Agent 22 paused briefly before continuing, "While wandering through the mist, I found the entrance to the legendary hero king Gilgamesh's King's Treasury… If anyone's interested in this location, you can find me privately to negotiate."
Lin Qiye's heart shook!
Gilgamesh's King's Treasury?
He had read about this in the archives at Utopia—it was the most important possession Gilgamesh had during his lifetime, but after he died of old age and was buried, the King's Treasury's whereabouts became unknown.
Now, someone had found it?
Lin Qiye felt no excitement; instead, his brow furrowed even tighter.
Could there be some connection between Gilgamesh's condition in the asylum recently deteriorating sharply, someone tampering with memories of him in the outside world, and the King's Treasury appearing at this particular time…
The central hall fell silent. No one raised their hand.
From their reactions, not many agents seemed to know of Gilgamesh's existence—after all, he had died countless ages ago, and this so-called treasury… who knew what was inside?
The vast majority of agents had no idea of the King's Treasury's value.
In the crowd, agents 03 and 04 exchanged a glance. A moment later, 04 slowly raised his hand.
The one who raised his hand as well was Lin Qiye, seated in the corner.
Agent 03 turned his head slightly and glanced at Lin Qiye. Their gazes crossed half the hall and met in the distance.
Cold sweat broke out on Lin Qiye's brow.
That gaze carried no divine power, yet Lin Qiye felt as if he were being stalked by a venomous snake—a chilling, unsettling sensation.
Seated in the corner, agent 01 flicked his fingers, and two "22" silver coins landed in their hands. Only then did agent 03 retract his gaze and turn away.
Lin Qiye stared at the figures of 03 and 04, his expression under the hood growing grimmer by the moment.
These two gods were working together.
And their purpose here… was almost certainly Gilgamesh's King's Treasury!
For Lin Qiye, this was undoubtedly bad news. The more people coveting that treasury, the harder it would be for him to investigate the cause of Gilgamesh's illness.
Was there any way to create some trouble for these two gods…
Lin Qiye's mind raced.
After agent 22, the questioning continued. When agent 27 stood up, Lin Qiye's attention was once again drawn.
Could this god's objective also be Gilgamesh's King's Treasury?
Just as Lin Qiye was pondering, agent 27 spoke slowly:
"Has anyone seen a red-haired girl, about 1.7 meters tall… Her name is Chloe."
The entire hall fell deathly silent.
After a long while, someone sighed and said, "It's you again… This is the fifth time you've asked this question at a gathering, isn't it? Five years already, and you still haven't found her?"
Agent 27 said nothing. He simply stood there quietly, his gaze sweeping across everyone present, as if still waiting for someone to raise their hand and answer his question.
"Agent 27, you may sit down," said agent 01, who was seated at the far edge of the hall.
Only then did he give up, sitting back down in dejection.
"His purpose is just to find someone?" Lin Qiye murmured to himself. "What kind of person requires searching at an agents' gathering… isn't he a god?"
From what he could see, this agent 27, though also a god disguised as an agent, was not working with 03 and 04, nor was his objective Gilgamesh's King's Treasury.
As agents continued to stand and sit, the sequence soon reached the numbers just before Lin Qiye's.
When agent 32 sat down, a few seconds later, Lin Qiye stood up in the corner under everyone's gaze.
The majority of agents remembered the scene of Lin Qiye riding in on a dragon quite vividly. They studied this conspicuous newcomer, their eyes filled with curiosity.
"I want to know the whereabouts of the Great Xia Sword Immortal." Lin Qiye's words were brief and to the point.
Once he finished speaking, most of the agents present furrowed their brows, as if puzzled.
"I know," said the hand that agent 17 raised from the crowd.
"I know as well."
Agent 03 glanced at Lin Qiye and also raised his hand.
Him?
Lin Qiye's heart sank…
Agent 01 flicked his fingers, and two silver coins landed in Lin Qiye's palm as tokens for the information exchange to come.
"Agent 33, you may sit down," agent 01 reminded.
"I have one more thing."
Lin Qiye did not sit. Instead, his gaze swept across the entire hall, his eyes narrowing,
"I also have a piece of information here. If anyone's interested, we can trade for it…"
Lin Qiye paused, his voice ringing clearly through the central hall:
"I know the whereabouts of the dual-god agent from Great Xia."
"!"
Of the nearly forty agents present, half immediately looked up, staring at Lin Qiye with shock in their eyes.
"That Lin Qiye?"
"Dual-god agent? Wasn't he in Great Xia?"
"The dual-god agent is in Great Xia—even if we knew, there's nothing we could do about it."
"…"
After several people spoke, an unusual commotion arose in the hall.
"Silence." Agent 01 frowned and spoke.
"Lin Qiye is no longer in Great Xia—he has entered the mist." A faint smile curved the corners of Lin Qiye's mouth.
"And I… am perhaps the only one who knows his whereabouts."
