# Chapter 1214: The Safest
【Holy Grail】?
The agents inside the room froze. Wasn't the 【Holy Grail】 outside the city? Miles and the others had just set out…
Agent 22's expression flickered as he paced the dim room, frowning:
Something's off…
What's off?
I saw it with my own eyes—it was a dark golden chalice that could draw out the flesh and blood of desire, and it even absorbed the life force from my finger… That was definitely the King's 【Holy Grail】.
But if that's the case, then what was the 【Holy Grail】 Miles mentioned at the dry oasis?
Could his prophecy have been wrong?
It's possible, but I feel like this situation isn't that simple. Agent 22 fell silent for a moment. How could a prophet who managed to deceive over twenty agents and two gods make a mistake on something like this?
Moreover, his attitude was so certain…
Thinking about it carefully, the fact that he rescued us from the dungeon in the first place is itself highly suspicious…
Are you saying he's been lying to us? Claude asked, puzzled. Faking the appearance of a 【Holy Grail】, then leading so many agents to search for it? Why would he do that?
If he wanted to harm us, leaving us trapped in the Dungeon to fend for ourselves would be the best approach. Why would he take such a risk?
After arguing for a long time, the group still couldn't come to any conclusion.
In any case, we'll know once they return. Claude sighed. The priority now is to obtain the King's 【Scepter】, and the King's 【Holy Grail】 you just sensed.
Do you have a plan?
You search for the 【Holy Grail】. As for the 【Scepter】… I have my own methods. You won't be able to help with that.
As he finished speaking, Agent 22 searched through the house and found a set of local residents' clothing. He then skillfully pulled out tools and began his disguise.
In just two minutes, an ordinary native of Wu City stood before the crowd.
His features, skin tone, and even his bearing closely resembled the face of a certain servant from the Dungeon yesterday.
The speed and efficiency of his transformation left everyone stunned.
Before they could ask questions, Agent 22 had already pushed open the door and walked straight out.
How did he do that? Claude asked in amazement.
An agent chuckled softly. Don't forget, he was the favorite male consort of the god of lust… Why do you think he captured Ferotides' heart?
Exquisite looks? A strong body? Skilled techniques?
None of those.
I heard that in front of Ferotides, he could transform into a different-looking man with a different temperament every single day, without repeating for three or four years straight. Having him was like having countless handsome men, always fresh and new…
This little disguise is nothing to him.
Claude gazed at Agent 22's departing back and nodded thoughtfully.
…
Outside Wu City.
Desert.
Nearly twenty figures slowly advanced through the driving sand.
Miles, since you know where the 【Holy Grail】 is, why don't we just fly there directly? Walking like this is too slow.
One of the agents asked.
Yes, we only have one day left on the印记 in our bodies… If we keep going like this, will we even make it in time?
We'll make it. Lin Qiye said unhurriedly. I won't let you fly because I sensed danger from this sky…
Danger?
An agent glanced at the sky above in confusion. Where's the danger?
I don't know. Lin Qiye shrugged. It's just a prophet's intuition… If you think walking is too slow, you can try flying.
Hearing this, the agents hesitated.
Although they knew Lin Qiye's prophecies were accurate, to them, time was life. If they wasted too much time on the journey, they might not survive long enough to gather the divine artifacts and fight their way out—they could all die in this treasury.
After much deliberation, two bold agents finally stepped forward.
One transformed into a rainbow streak, the other sprouted a pair of bird wings from their back—both shot into the sky and flew toward the distance.
Watching their figures gradually vanish into the horizon, the other agents murmured suspiciously:
Seems like… nothing's wrong?
Yeah, they've been flying for a while now with no issues. Could Miles' intuition be wrong?
He's just an agent after all, not an omniscient god. Making some mistakes is normal.
Then let's fly too…
Just as the group was discussing this, they saw two distant figures hurtling back toward them at incredible speed!
It was the two agents who had flown off earlier.
They had pushed their speed to the limit, their expressions terrified, as if some life-threatening monster was pursuing them from behind!
The group looked behind the two agents and saw a blood-colored spear, a silver flying bird, and a pair of winged boots frantically chasing the two.
The blood-colored spear and silver bird each tracked one agent, vibrating with a faint hum, as if rejoicing.
The winged boots kicked through the air, leaving countless afterimages, rapidly closing the distance with the two agents.
They glanced back and saw the boots were about to kick their backs. In their terror, they somehow found hidden strength and their speed spiked again.
At the same time, the pair of boots also accelerated—and was faster than them!
Boom!! Boom!!!
The two boots slammed heavily into the backs of both agents, shattering the rainbow light and the wings. They vomited blood and helplessly plummeted downward.
At that moment, the silver bird and blood-colored spear each pierced through their chests at shocking speeds!
Two bursts of blood light splashed across the sky, followed by their broken bodies crashing into the desert, stirring up a cloud of sand. The thick scent of blood assaulted the stunned agents' faces.
No need to look—the two agents were beyond dead.
Th-that… were those divine artifacts? After a long while, an agent finally stammered. They're not pursuing us, right?
No. Their targets seem to be only flying objects. Someone exhaled in relief,
Lucky we didn't follow them…
This desert is actually this dangerous?
What a waste. Those two agents were both Klein-level. If they'd survived, they could've been useful when we fight the two gods.
The group sighed.
They turned to look at Lin Qiye, who had somehow already walked ahead, his back now far in the distance. Their eyes were filled with reverence.
Indeed, only by following Miles is it the safest…
