Chapter 1266 Eden’s Intelligence
Knock knock knock—!
After a few light knocks, Lin Qiye slowly pushed open the door.
The dim candlelight danced on the corner of the wooden table, illuminating the bright red mailbox. At the table corner, Bragi, draped in a light veil, sat upright, holding a quill pen dipped in ink, earnestly writing something on paper.
Hearing Lin Qiye’s knock, he turned his head, his crimson lips parting slightly, surprise appearing in his eyes.
“Greetings, Director Lin.”
Bragi… no, it should be Eden, rose gracefully from her seat, lifted the hem of her gauzy dress, and slightly bowed, giving Lin Qiye a Western-style curtsy.
Lin Qiye smiled and said, “No need to be so formal.”
He walked into the room, his gaze sweeping over the neatly written letter in front of Eden, and asked, “Writing a letter?”
“Yes.” Eden looked at Bragi’s opened letter beside the red mailbox and smiled, saying, “He shared many things with me again today, and I haven’t finished answering everything yet… Is there something you need, Director Lin?”
“Nothing major, I just came to check on you, and I have a few questions to ask.”
Lin Qiye sat down on the other side of the table, carefully examining Eden before him.
Although she was using Bragi’s body, Bragi was already handsome and beautiful. Combined with Eden’s gentle and graceful demeanor, she appeared even more feminine. In the yellow candlelight, Lin Qiye felt somewhat unfamiliar with the sight.
“How have you been lately?”
“About the same as before.” Eden turned her head, glancing at Bragi in the mirror, and smiled, “Every night after he falls asleep, I borrow his body to read and write letters. He’s always sharing his life in the hospital with me. Although we haven’t been able to meet face to face, I’m still happy.
The only pity is that I don’t have much to share with him. I can only keep making up stories about my life in Asgard: today the flowers in the yard grew too fast, tomorrow I’ll be playing with some goddess…
But no matter what I make up, he takes it all seriously, then excitedly discusses it with me for several pages.”
Eden looked at Bragi in the mirror, her expression growing softer. She wore a sweet smile, as if seeing Bragi sitting at this very table in the afternoon, writing fervently.
Watching this scene, Lin Qiye’s feelings became increasingly complex.
Two people in love, so close they could hear each other’s heartbeats, yet forever unable to meet… Fantasy and letters were the only ways their souls could connect.
This was eternal love, but also eternal torment.
“I will find a way for you two to meet again,” Lin Qiye said solemnly.
Eden didn’t speak. She silently nodded, the light in her eyes gradually dimming, as if she no longer held much hope for this.
This heart was placed in Bragi’s chest by her own hands. She knew clearly that separating them wouldn’t be simple, as it involved the entanglement of physical bodies and the compatibility of souls.
After all, situations where even Merlin, the God of Magic, was helpless were rare in this world.
“Director Lin, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask,” Eden proactively said, as if remembering something.
Lin Qiye nodded and said, “I’ll ask directly. How much do you know about Asgard’s Abyss Dungeon?”
“The Abyss Dungeon?” Hearing these words, Eden frowned, “Are you in Asgard now?”
“Yes, I need to rescue someone from the Abyss Dungeon.”
Eden pondered with a grave expression for a moment, then continued:
“Director Lin, I must warn you that rescuing someone from the Abyss Dungeon is no simple task… Those imprisoned there are Asgard’s most important criminals. I was ordered to go in there a few times to heal some dying prisoners, and I know how terrifying it is inside.”
“I understand,” Lin Qiye said firmly, “but I must go.”
It had been two days since Ji Nian was imprisoned in the Abyss Dungeon. Although Lin Qiye didn’t know exactly what conditions were like inside, from Thor and others’ words, the punishments for prisoners must be extremely cruel.
He didn’t know Ji Nian’s current state or how much longer he could endure the torture. He needed to take action quickly.
Seeing his determination, Eden stopped trying to dissuade him and instead took a blank piece of paper and began to sketch carefully:
“I remember the layout of the dungeon quite well, but I’m not sure if they’ve made any changes over the years…”
Under Lin Qiye’s watchful gaze, Eden quickly drew a simple map of the Abyss Dungeon, marking the core area where prisoners were held and the approximate patrol points.
Seeing this map, Lin Qiye’s eyes lit up.
Having this sketch would save a lot of trouble, at least he wouldn’t have to wander around like a headless fly looking for where Ji Nian was being held.
“What’s this?” Lin Qiye reached out, pointing to a red dot above the core area, asking curiously.
“That’s Fenrir,” Eden said gravely. “He is Loki’s offspring and also the fierce divine beast guarding the Abyss. He feeds on the fear and pain of the Abyss Dungeon. Usually, he just lies quietly sleeping above the prison, but once an outsider enters the dungeon, he immediately smells them and tears them to pieces.
Even the main gods might not be able to defeat him. Combined with the Norse battle division guarding the surroundings, trying to break into the dungeon to rescue a prisoner is nearly impossible.”
Lin Qiye’s expression visibly grew more serious.
He had heard of Fenrir’s reputation in the training camp. This creature guarding directly above the Abyss Dungeon was definitely a deadly threat. With Lin Qiye’s current strength, he might not even be able to withstand a single blow from it.
How should he deal with this creature?
Lin Qiye pondered hard for a long time but couldn’t find an answer. With no choice, he stood up to bid farewell to Eden and returned his consciousness to the real world.
When Lin Qiye opened his eyes, he realized that Asgard’s sky had also fallen into darkness. He had been sitting there from afternoon until late night.
The Miracle Square around him was completely empty, and even the little bug that had been following Lin Qiye had disappeared without a trace.
Most likely, No. 22’s mental energy had been exhausted.
Spending so much mental energy only to watch him sightseeing in Asgard all day, No. 22 was probably furious enough to cough blood by now.
Just as Lin Qiye stood up to leave, a smoke-like black shadow suddenly flew from the distance and crashed directly into Lin Qiye’s shadow!
