Chapter 1255 “Prophecy”
Lin Qiye doesn’t know divination techniques; his request for a quiet room and three items was just a distraction to mislead Sol and the others.
What he really wanted was simply a safe house free from surveillance and a map.
Lin Qiye stood in the great hall, hesitated for a moment, then proceeded to unfasten his collar.
As his collar fell, on his chest, a pixel-sized chip the width of a fingernail was quietly adhering to his skin.
This was something secretly given to him when he was captured. For her to risk being discovered to pass this to him, it must be extremely important.
Lin Qiye removed this pixel chip, placed it in his palm and examined it with confusion.
The chip had chaotic, disorganized colors, but its surface was perfectly flat, as if something had been forcibly compressed into a disc shape by a hydraulic press. At first glance, it was impossible to tell what it was.
“How do I open this…”
Lin Qiye rubbed every inch of the chip with his fingers. When his thumb passed over the central area, the pixel chip immediately began to expand at a visible rate.
Each pixel seemed to come alive, floating up from the chip’s surface. As time passed, this two-dimensional flat object actually assembled itself into a three-dimensional object the size of a palm.
From its outline, it appeared to be a walkie-talkie.
When the last pixel fell into place, Lin Qiye held the pixel walkie-talkie in his palm, his expression extremely complex.
Ji Nian had given him this walkie-talkie at the last moment, most likely because she knew she would be subjected to torture and interrogation after arriving in Asgard, so she sent it out in advance to prevent the Norse gods from obtaining it and using it against Da Xia.
So, she had entrusted her final means of contact with Da Xia to Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye knew the importance of this walkie-talkie, but still felt uneasy keeping it on his person… After hesitating briefly, Lin Qiye summoned a magic circle on the floor of the hall.
When the magical light dissipated, a small mummy appeared in the center of the circle.
Woody, who hadn’t been summoned for a long time, was stunned for a moment, then excitedly waved his hands, jumped onto Lin Qiye’s shoulder with a kick of his legs, and frantically nuzzled his bandaged head against Lin Qiye’s face, refusing to let go.
Lin Qiye helplessly comforted Woody for a while, then had it swallow the pixel walkie-talkie.
This way, as Woody returned to its dimension, the pixel walkie-talkie would be hidden with it. No matter how the Asgardian gods searched, they would never find it. But Lin Qiye had already left a summoning mark on the walkie-talkie’s surface, so he could summon it with just a wave of his hand.
This was the safest method Lin Qiye could think of at the moment.
After completing all this, Lin Qiye began to contemplate his next actions.
Ji Nian was still imprisoned in the abyss dungeon enduring torture. He needed to rescue her as soon as possible, but before that, he needed to be able to move freely in Asgard. If he were locked back in that cage, everything would return to square one.
And currently, the only way was to gain Thor’s trust by rescuing Sif.
Lin Qiye spread the maps out on the ground.
The maps Thor prepared for Lin Qiye were more detailed than he had imagined. Besides the central Asgard, there was also a map of Jotunheim, a map of Nidavellir, a map of “Midgard,” and a map of Helheim.
These places were similar to Da Xia’s Fengdu, Kunlun Void, and other mythical territories, but they weren’t considered divine realms.
The difference between here and Da Xia was that Da Xia’s Fengdu, Kunlun Void, and Heavenly Court were scattered throughout Da Xia, while these Norse mythological territories surrounded the divine realm, forming a complete whole.
“Looking at it this way, it’s quite large,” Lin Qiye murmured as he looked at the maps.
Lin Qiye memorized all the maps, then waved his hand to dispel the disguise of his transformation magic, returning to his original form.
In the transformed state, Lin Qiye couldn’t use other divine powers, which was why he needed a safe house without any divine surveillance.
He casually picked up a stone fragment, tossed it into the air, and a golden light flashed in his palm. Under the influence of the miracle, the stone fragment rolled on the ground for a moment before finally landing steadily on a certain spot on the map.
Seeing the position of the stone fragment, Lin Qiye’s eyebrows slightly raised.
“This is…”
Lin Qiye suspiciously picked up the stone fragment and threw it again. This time, the stone’s position was different from before, but still within the same map.
Using miracles to deduce the location of gods was still somewhat unstable for Lin Qiye at present, but being able to grasp a general direction was already enough to deal with Thor.
After putting away the maps and using magic to transform back into Myles, Lin Qiye summoned the [Holy Grail] and held it in his palm, whispering:
“I wish for perfect disguise.”
As his words fell, the dark golden liquid in the high cup decreased slightly, and a phantom light flashed over Lin Qiye’s surface before quickly disappearing without a trace.
Lin Qiye used the [Holy Grail] to perfect his transformation magic.
After the previous incident in the King’s Treasury, where his transformation magic was easily broken by No. 22’s wish, Lin Qiye had become more cautious. Although transformation magic could disguise him as Myles, there was still a possibility of exposure when facing certain artifacts that could see through disguises or gods with similar abilities.
So, to be safe, Lin Qiye used the [Holy Grail] to add a double layer of protection. This way, even the highest-level gods wouldn’t easily see through his disguise.
After doing all this, Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, then also stuffed the [Holy Grail] into Woody’s belly.
He couldn’t use the [Holy Grail] in public, but hiding it inside Woody was also a form of disguise that might prove effective in critical moments.
Lin Qiye pushed open the door and walked out of the temple.
Thor, who had been waiting for a long time in the distance, immediately flashed to Lin Qiye’s side. “Did you find it?”
“I found it,” Lin Qiye paused, “but the location is very vague.”
“Where is it?”
“…Helheim.”
Hearing the word Helheim, Thor’s eyes narrowed. He seemed to think of something and gritted his teeth as he uttered a name:
“Hela…!”
“Hela?” War God Tyr frowned. “Has she already joined forces with Loki?
If that’s the case, things are getting troublesome…”
“I’ll go to Helheim,” Thor turned to leave, but after taking just a few steps, he stopped.
He turned back and pointed at Lin Qiye:
“Myles, you come with me.
The rest of you, go and bring out that proxy who can use the [Scepter] from the cage.”
Lin Qiye seemed to have anticipated that Thor would ask him to accompany him and calmly followed behind him. A moment later, No. 22, holding the [Scepter], also arrived from a distance.
No. 22’s eyes lit up when he saw Lin Qiye beside Thor.
“Tyr, Hoder, you two come with me as well,” Thor said, then transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared into the horizon.
Lin Qiye felt a weight on his shoulder as the blind judge Hoder grabbed him, lifting him like an eagle catching a chick, and instantly followed after Thor.
