yes!
They also have a prophet here.
Judging from Lin Qiye’s performance at the party, the agent of the God of Prophecy and Magic has very strong professional ability. Not only did he deceive them, he also played tricks on the two gods... Maybe he can really predict the method to conquer the treasure house?
No. 22 thought for a moment, nodded and said:
“Thousands of years ago, there were rumors in all the ancient kingdoms of God that the hero king Gilgamesh had collected five top-level artifacts.
In addition to this [Treasure House of the King], there are four other artifacts that are also of the 'supreme' level. They are the [Scepter] of the King, the [Sword] of the King, the [Holy Grail] of the King, and the [Star Coin] of the King.
If nothing unexpected happens, these four artifacts should all be in this treasure house.
If we want to conquer this [King's Treasure House], it is definitely unrealistic to rely on our own strength. The only breakthrough may lie in these four 'supreme' artifacts of the same level as the treasure house."
"Scepter, Sword, Holy Grail, Star Coin?" Claude seemed to have thought of something, "The things in the old man's hand today..."
"There is no doubt about it. It is the King's Scepter."
No. 22 said confidently, "The [Scepter], which symbolizes the 'royal power', has the power to commandeer all forces for its own use. Taking away our realm in the square today is nothing. That thing can even take away the power of the gods.
It is said that when Uruk was caught in the war between gods, the hero king Gilgamesh used this [scepter] to absorb the power of the three main gods in one breath, raising himself to a state infinitely close to the highest level, and managed to hold out for nearly ten minutes under the hands of the Sumerian Supreme God. "
Hearing these words, everyone present took a deep breath.
Some of them had a gleam in their eyes, and seemed to be making their own plans.
“However, the [Scepter] can only be used by specific bloodlines. Apart from the Hero King himself, only the direct bloodline of the weapon-refining family that was sent to the treasury that year can wield its power. Even if we get it, we can’t use it at all.” No. 22 poured a basin of cold water on the agents, completely extinguishing their fantasies.
"Where are the other three artifacts?" Lin Qiye asked curiously.
"The King's [Sword] symbolizes killing, and like the [King's Treasure House], it was created by the Hero King when he created his own laws. It was made from the edges of the [King's] laws. Since it is part of the laws itself, this [Sword] itself has the power to slay gods.
Even if a mortal holds it, he can kill a god by stabbing it into his heart."
"The King's [Holy Grail] symbolizes great aspirations. It is said to be an omnipotent wish-granting machine. As long as enough lives are sacrificed to it, it can fulfill any wish of the holder."
"As for the King's [Star Coin]... there are too few records about it, so I don't know much about it."
The treasury that plundered all the artifacts, the scepter that drained away the power of the gods, the sword that slayed the gods, the omnipotent wishing machine, the star coins of unknown power... No wonder Gilgamesh could make the entire Sumerian pantheon so fearful.
Lin Qiye found it hard to imagine how powerful Gilgamesh was in his prime.
"The Holy Grail that can fulfill any wish?" Someone asked in surprise, "Then if we make a wish to the Holy Grail and conquer this treasure house, can we succeed?"
No. 22 pondered for a moment.
“In theory, yes.
The [Holy Grail] and [King's Treasury] are both 'Supreme' level artifacts. As long as enough lives are sacrificed to the [Holy Grail], it is indeed possible to conquer the [King's Treasury] in return."
"But where are all the lives in this treasure trove? Just rely on the hundreds of people in this city? Is it enough?"
"It probably won't be enough." No. 22 shook his head. "If wishing for a few hundred lives could control the [King's Treasury], then Uruk would have dominated the world long ago."
Everyone fell silent again.
I finally saw a glimmer of hope in conquering the [King's Treasure House], but it was shattered again.
"Anyway, this is a direction, which is better than having no hope at all," said Thor's agent Claude.
"Perhaps, we can change our thinking?" Lin Qiye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Since we can't conquer the treasure house and satisfy the gods' demands, what if... we gather these four 'supreme' artifacts and go kill those two gods directly?"
This sentence was like a thunder, roaring directly in the ears of all the agents!
Kill God directly?!
Everyone was shocked at first, and then immediately began to think carefully.
"With the [Sword] that has the power to slay gods, it is possible..."
"Hermes and Hephaestus, although they are the main gods, their combat power is not top-notch. With four 'supreme' artifacts and so many of us, maybe we really have a chance of winning?"
"Anyone can use the Sword. The ability of the Star Coin is currently unknown. As for the Holy Grail, I can make a wish and massacre the city before leaving and use these hundreds of people as sacrifices... But what about the Scepter?"
"Perhaps we can find an opportunity to steal the [Scepter], then capture a direct descendant and force him to go out with us."
"There are so many artifacts in this treasure house. Pick a few more that can be used..."
Everyone started talking to each other, their expressions became more and more excited, as if they saw the dawn of victory.
The smile in Lin Qiye's eyes flashed away, and then he said seriously: "I just proposed a possibility. It is too dangerous to do so."
"Miles, you can predict the future, right? Can you tell me what the chances of success are?" Vishnu's agent Parkash asked.
“Well… As you know, prediction is very mentally taxing. Excessive prediction will lead to hair loss, so I usually only make one prediction a day. I have already predicted your arrival today, so…” Lin Qiye spoke with some embarrassment.
"Mr. Miles, this matter concerns the lives of all of us. Please make an exception!" Claude said sincerely.
"Yes, this prophecy is related to our next plan. Let's predict it again."
"Mr. Miles, please."
“…”
Under the eager gazes of the agents, Lin Qiye frowned and hesitated for a long time before he sighed and said reluctantly:
"Okay, then I will make an exception and predict again today."
Lin Qiye pushed his monocle and walked towards the center of the room. Everyone immediately stepped back, preferring to squeeze together to make room for him.
Lin Qiye sat down on the spot, pretending to take out the crystal ball he had just picked up this afternoon from his arms, and placed it solemnly on the ground.
He raised his fingertips slightly, and gorgeous magical lines bloomed with him as the center.
Lin Qiye sat in the center of the magic circle, staring at the crystal ball with his deep eyes. Mysterious halos circulated around him, making people dizzy.
The agents crowded in the corner of the room, watching this scene curiously, not daring to make a sound.
Finally, the magic light slowly faded away, and Lin Qiye stood up holding the crystal ball.
His eyes swept over the crowd.
Confident opening:
"The chances of winning... are 70%!"
