"The mental energy of all the agents present was absorbed by the scepter in the old man's hand. We watched as the old man went from an ordinary person to a Klein-level expert in an instant."

"As everyone knows, an agent who has lost his mental power is like a fish on a chopping board, and that old man sent people to lock him in the dungeon."

"Fortunately, I still had the remaining power of the sun god Ra on me, which was not absorbed by that scepter. It was with the help of the divine power that I was able to escape from the capital of Uruk."

Bifetu spoke at length until his mouth was dry.

Gu Tianchen thoughtfully handed him a bottle of water.

"Thank you, I was so thirsty."

Bifetu took the water, drank a sip, and looked at the little girl's clothes.

"If I'm not mistaken, this little girl is also from Uruk. Let's take her back and use that to blackmail the city lord into releasing her."

Bifetu took a big gulp of water, wiped the water from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Now we're all in this together. If we don't get the King's Treasury within three days, we'll all die here."

“Number 39, you too. Hermes and Hephaestus are guarding outside. They will not let us leave easily until we get what they want.”

"We must take this little girl hostage and demand that the old city lord release her."

Gu Tianchen said with a smile, "There are more than twenty agents locked up inside. You're just taking a little girl in. Do you think that old man would be stupid enough to exchange hostages with you?"

"Besides, this girl is my friend. I, Prince Youle, always put loyalty first when I travel the world. I would never do something like betraying a friend."

"Didn't you just say you were someone from the Great Xia Dynasty, that you were called Gu Tianchen?"

Tali held her bow, aiming back and forth between Gu Tianchen and Bifetu, unsure of who to shoot first.

Gu Tianchen and Bi Feitu looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Well, so you're Gu Tianchen, the agent of the Great Xia Fire God. You've been deceiving us for so long, and now your disguise has finally been exposed!" Bifetu said angrily.

"Hey, brother, don't be angry. Actually, I'm your benefactor," Gu Tianchen said seriously.

Bifetu was completely bewildered. "You've been fooling me for so long, and you're my benefactor? Tell me, how have you been a benefactor to me?"

Gu Tianchen said seriously, "Think about it, if I hadn't led my adoptive father Zhu Rong to his death, would you have been able to obtain his remaining solar power?"

"Think about it, the sun god Ra treated you like a dog, ordering you around. I killed him for you, freed you, and made you even stronger. Aren't I your benefactor?"

"He's just a sun god, he's dead, that's all. It's like having a godfather; if he dies, we can just find another one."

“There are no eternal godfathers, only eternal interests. Why would you seek revenge against me for a godfather you’ve gained by taking advantage of me?”

"Don't forget, I now hold the key to the whereabouts of the original power of Takaten. I am now your godfather."

After being persuaded and coerced by Gu Tianchen, Bi Feitu nodded as if he understood, feeling that what he said made some sense.

"Then, Godfather, what should we do next?" Bifetu asked Gu Tianchen.

Gu Tianchen glanced around and found that Tali had long since disappeared.

"Holy crap, where did that girl go?"

"Godfather, she's just a little girl. If she runs away, so be it. There are so many people in Uruk. We can just take a few more hostages," Bifitu said nonchalantly.

"You don't know anything! That girl is holding the King's Sword, a supreme artifact capable of slaying gods. Without this supreme artifact, how are we supposed to fight those two from Olympus?"

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase after them!"

Chapter 442 I'm not a winner...

The two followed Tali to a magnificent black city in the desert oasis.

"Uruk is just ahead. How do we get in?" Bifitu asked.

Gu Tianchen smiled slightly and used the magic of Feng Lingyueying to transform himself and Bifetu into locals dressed like Tali.

Bifetu looked at the changes in himself and Gu Tianchen with a shocked expression.

"Aren't you the agent of the God of Fire? How come you know magic?"

“This isn’t magic, it’s witchcraft. You know nothing about the power of the Vulcan,” Gu Tianchen said with a smile.

The two followed Tali and sneaked into the royal city of Uruk.

In the royal city of Uruk, a central square surrounded by a huge statue of Gilgamesh is filled with all sorts of shops.

Although it doesn't look overly bustling, it has a unique charm.

Gu Tianchen sent out a divine fire clone to follow Tali to a blacksmith shop.

A burly man, shirtless and with bulging muscles, was hammering iron.

As the blacksmith's hammer fell, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied by a deafening clap of thunder.

Gu Tianchen's eyes lit up; the hammer in the blacksmith's hand was actually a divine weapon.

As expected of Uruk, everyone here has a magical artifact.

With her divine bow on her back and the King's Sword in her arms, Tali ran wildly toward the blacksmith's shop.

"Father, Father, someone is chasing me!"

The blacksmith gripped his hammer tightly and rushed out of the blacksmith's shop to protect Tali.

"You brat, where did you run off to? Do you know we've been looking for you all night!"

“Father, foreigners are chasing me. They… want to steal our Uruk’s artifacts!” Tali said.

"Weren't those invaders captured by the city lord?"

Tali, panting, said, "There are... there are two more who escaped, one of whom escaped from the royal city..."

The blacksmith then remembered that there was another guy who hadn't been subdued by the city lord's scepter and had escaped by climbing over the wall.

"Where are they?" the blacksmith asked hurriedly.

“I ran back while they weren’t looking, but given their abilities, they’ll catch up soon. Let’s hurry and inform the city lord,” Tali said.

"Alright, let's go to the city lord's mansion."

The blacksmith led Tali toward the city lord's mansion in the center of the city.

“There are so many natives here, where are we going to find that little girl?” Bifetu asked.

Gu Tianchen said calmly, "Don't rush, let the bullets fly for a while longer."

"Come on, let your godfather treat you to a drink."

Bifetu said with a displeased look, "I'm about to die, and you still have the mood to make me drink!"

"We have an old saying in our Great Xia Dynasty: 'Drink today, for tomorrow we may die.'"

"Since you can't find the little girl anyway, you might as well come with me for a drink."

"You can find out more information where you drink. Come with me."

Bifitu had no choice but to follow his adoptive father around the royal city of Uruk.

Gu Tianchen found a tavern and said, "Waiter, bring out all your best wines."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

The waiter smiled and brought over two jars of fine wine, then began to introduce them.

"This is a new wine that we just obtained from the god of wine. Please have a taste."

Gu Tianchen's mind conjured up the image of the wine pot that loved to watch men dance and would continuously flow with fine wine when it was happy.

"Come on, let's have a toast for a bright future for all of us!" Gu Tianchen raised his glass and looked at Bifetu with a smile.

Bifetu said with a sullen look, "You still have a bright future, but I only have two days left..."

"What's the panic? There are still two days left. There is a supreme artifact in Uruk called the Holy Grail of the King."

"As long as you sacrifice enough lives, it will grant you all your desires."

“Once we find this legendary Holy Grail, the poison in your body will be easily eliminated, and we might even get some unexpected gains,” Gu Tianchen said softly.

Bifetu looked at Gu Tianchen with suspicion, "Really? Don't give me empty promises."

"Becoming a god and having a supreme artifact are both promises. My stomach isn't good, and I can't swallow all these empty promises from you, my godfather."

Gu Tianchen said seriously, "Don't worry, I never lie to my own people."

“I have even found you an incredible opportunity in this city.”

Bifetu asked with a curious look, "A tremendous opportunity? Is it as big as the pie in the sky you just painted?"

"Why are you speaking such obvious truths? Let's drink, let's drink. After we finish, I'll take you to find the Holy Grail." Gu Tianchen patted Bifetu on the shoulder.

"Hey buddy, two more jars, please!"

"No, no, no, Godfather, biological father! I... I really can't drink anymore..."

Bifetu's face was flushed, and he looked drunk as he frantically waved his hands at Gu Tianchen.

"Tsk, this is nothing. Compared to Sister Lan's drinking capacity, your little bit of alcohol is not even enough to warm her up."

"Come on, let's have some more drinks. We're already here, we should at least try some of the local wines and food, shouldn't we?" Gu Tianchen continued to persuade.

"Godfather, please spare me, I won't do it..."

After saying that, Bifetu collapsed onto the table.

Gu Tianchen said speechlessly, "As expected of La's agent, his alcohol tolerance is really low."

After leaving the tavern, Gu Tianchen carried the unconscious Bifetu to the central square.

The ancient well used for worshipping the seven gods is right next to the square.

Beside the ancient well, several guards wielding magical weapons were patrolling.

Seeing Gu Tianchen carrying Bifeitu and staggering towards the ancient well, the leading guard came up and looked at them with displeasure.

The guard waved his hand as if shooing away flies, "Where did this drunkard come from? Get out of here, don't you know there's martial law here today?"

Gu Tianchen patted the bifetu he was carrying on his shoulder and asked with a smile, "Sir, my friend here has had too much to drink. Could he rest for a bit before he goes on his way?"

The guard said with displeasure, "It's usually fine, but look at the situation now."

"You saw those powerful invaders today, didn't you? If it weren't for the city lord's intervention, we would have been in big trouble."

"Take your friend home right now, stop drinking so much! Isn't Uruk chaotic enough already? Get out of here!"
