Do you want to kill him? said the statue on the right.
The central statue was silent for a moment.
want.
In the past hundred years, the sacrifices we have collected are close to that wish, and the vitality of these outsiders is much stronger than that of ordinary people...
If we can collect their lives and make the [Holy Grail] fulfill its wishes, we will be able to completely control this treasure house. By then, the Sumerian pantheon will shine again!
However, the origin of our kingdom of God disappeared, and we fell into the realm of God for a hundred years... Now, we may not be a match for those invaders.
So what to do?
The sacrifice that the Holy Grail wants is only the lost lives. We don't have to do it ourselves, we can make them kill each other with a little trick. We just need to wait here quietly until they give each other's lives to the Holy Grail.
Moreover, the negative emotions generated when they kill each other can attract [Star Coins]. By using the [Holy Grail] to control the [Star Coins], they can seize another supreme artifact.
The final winner will only be us...
The stone statue in the center narrowed its eyes slightly.
…
Half an hour ago.
The agents gathered around Lin Qiye, their faces filled with tension.
Brilliant magical light lit up under Lin Qiye's feet. The deep blue crystal ball in front of him looked extremely mysterious under the light.
After a long time, the magic light faded, Lin Qiye took a deep breath, and slowly stood up from the ground.
Have you found the exact location of the artifact, Miles?
Claude spoke eagerly.
Found it. Lin Qiye nodded.
The agents looked delighted and said, "Let's set off now!"
Wait a minute. At this time, No. 22 suddenly spoke up and said, "I think we don't need to rush out of the city to look for the other three artifacts. The [Scepter] is in this city now. We can leave some people behind to try to snatch the [Scepter].
But the old man holding the [Scepter] is too strong and can drain our mental power... How can we snatch it?
Yes, I think we have to wait until we get the [Holy Grail] or the [Sword] before we can defeat him head-on.
The agents all shook their heads and were not optimistic about No. 22's plan.
I have my own way, No. 22 said solemnly.
In the crowd, Claude pondered for a moment and said:
Miles has the ability to predict the future and can avoid ordinary crises, so it is indeed not necessary for everyone to go looking for the other three artifacts... At least a few people should stay behind. Even if they cannot grab the [Scepter], they can still keep an eye on the whereabouts of the city lord and prevent him from running around.
Everyone thought about it for a moment and felt that what he said made some sense.
In the end, on the 22nd, Thor's agent Claude and six other agents chose to stay in Wucheng and try to seize the King's [Scepter].
Seeing this, Lin Qiye frowned slightly, but did not refuse.
The proposals of No. 22 and Claude were reasonable. If he objected at this time and asked everyone to leave Wucheng with him, it would arouse suspicion.
Okay, then let’s split into two groups and set off now.
With the help of the agent who was good at hiding, seventeen or eighteen agents followed Lin Qiye and quietly left Lao Liu's house.
They completely disappeared, and just after crossing two streets, they saw a large number of residents gathering in a certain direction of the city.
What are they going to do?
Lin Qiye glanced in that direction to watch the execution.
Execution? An agent was stunned. Is it... us?
It should be.
They won't find anything, will they? Is that **god agent reliable?
It's hard to say, how powerful can a **god's favorite be? One agent laughed and said that he was probably squeezed dry by Philotes a long time ago.
However, being able to enjoy the goddess' body and the world's highest pleasure is worth it in this life.
Hearing the agents' joking conversations, Lin Qiye raised his brows slightly and asked in confusion:
What is the origin of this number 22?
Do you know Philotes, the goddess of Olympus? He is one of the children of Nyx, the goddess of the night. Someone in the crowd explained,
It is said that when the fog descended, Zeus massacred some of the lesser gods of Olympus as a sacrifice to preserve the strength of the many main gods.
Especially the goddess of night, Nyx, because she was not in Olympus when the fog fell, almost all of her children were killed. Only the god of sex, Philotes, escaped because he was out having sex with a mortal.
Philotes was in charge of the laws of sexual desire and reproduction in the world. She was only obsessed with love between men and women, had no ambition, and was muddle-headed. It was for this reason that Zeus let her go and allowed her to continue living in the most remote corner of Olympus.
Over the past hundred years, Philotes had plundered everywhere, snatched up a large number of male favorites, and indulged in pleasure day and night. No. 22 was one of Philotes' most favored male favorites in recent years.
So, Philotes turned No. 22 into her agent and passed on almost all of his abilities to him in order to pursue double the pleasure of love.
After all, he is just a tool to please the ** God. The title of agent... hehe.
After listening to the agent's description, Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.
The thin figure of No. 22 emerged in his mind... But if he was just a tool of the devil, how could he know so many secrets about Gilgamesh?
What's more, his performance at the party and in the dungeon did not seem like that of a loser who was intoxicated by desire.
Lin Qiye's gaze fell on the execution platform in the distance. At this moment, the body of desire had fallen down covered in blood. No matter from which angle you looked at it, there was no difference between it and a normal human body.
The executioners did not notice anything unusual. They simply carried the bodies of the people away and threw them into an ancient well on the edge of the city.
Huh? Lin Qiye frowned in surprise.
His mental power had extended into the well, but he was unable to sense the scene at the bottom of the well, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking his mental power from entering.
Let's go quickly, time is running out. Several agents took the initiative to speak.
Lin Qiye took one last look at the ancient well, retracted his gaze, and led the stealth group directly out of the city gate of Wucheng.
…
In the city.
The originally crowded room eventually had only eight people left.
No. 22 looked in a certain direction through the gap in the wooden window. The body of desire was killed, but we were not exposed.
He seemed to have anticipated this result. He calmly took a step back and sealed the window completely.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
What are your plans?
Claude asked while sitting in a dark corner.
No. 22 opened his mouth and was about to say something, but his eyes suddenly froze.
What's wrong? Someone asked.
The corpse of the body of desire was eaten... No. 22 frowned, as if he was digesting the information conveyed to him by the body, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
Is it the [Holy Grail]? ! !
