In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"That's really reliable."

"Of course, after all, they were once kings. Alright, I can't talk to you anymore. I've received Gilgamesh's summons. He said if I don't hurry back, he'll put me directly into the King's Cannon and launch me out, so I have to go to work."

Merlin blinked, then chuckled, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into flower petals and entered the temple.

Luo Wei frowned, his opinion of the guy had changed somewhat. Although he was still not likable, he was starting to take on a more human form and knew how to get things done.

Thinking this, he shook his head, turned around and glanced at the temple behind him, which was still bustling with activity. After seeing everyone working hard, he unfolded the clay tablets that Gilgamesh had given him and walked towards the city wall.

However, just as he was inspecting the King's Cannons on the city wall one by one and controlling each one to fire in the direction of the outer perimeter, he happened to see Siduri passing by, who was counting the wounded and transferring them.

"Mr. Lowe!"

Hearing the voice, Luo Wei turned around and saw Siduri rushing over. He asked, "Oh, it's Siduri. Is something the matter?"

“Yes, Mr. Rowe, thank you very much for your contributions to Uruk. On behalf of all the people of Uruk, I am grateful for your efforts. Without you, King Gilgamesh might never have returned.”

At this point, Siduri bowed respectfully to Luo Wei, which made Luo Wei feel a little uncomfortable. He quickly took her hand and gently helped her up, replying, "There's no need for such formality, High Priestess Siduri. King Gigi and I are partners and friends. Although we don't get along, we're the kind of people who would go through fire and water for each other. Helping him is only right for me, and helping him is also helping myself, so you don't need to be so grateful to me."

"No, this is a necessary courtesy. You are not from Uruk, so it is difficult for you to understand the King's status to us. However, we are very grateful, and not only for this matter. Today, it was because of your arrival and the arrival of the other two goddesses that the monster front was protected."

Upon hearing this, Siduri shook her head and then replied.

"I see..."

Luo Wei nodded and replied, "Then I'll accept your gratitude. After all, knowing your personality, if I didn't accept it, you'd probably be upset for a long time, right? By the way..."

“Siduri, you should have seen Jingu—no, if it were you, you would definitely mistake him for Enkidu.”

"Lord Enkidu... Hmm, I have indeed seen Lord Enkidu again?"

Upon hearing Luo Wei's words, Siduri was slightly taken aback, immediately recalling the green-clad figure, and then nodded gently.

“I’ve already seen her. She really looks exactly like Lord Enkidu. I met her a few times recently. Although she seemed very impatient at the time, I could tell that Lord Enkidu seemed to be gradually remembering Uruk... Sometimes I can see her from high places in Uruk.”

"Oh, this..."

After hearing Siduli's story, Rowe nodded.

"But rather than Enkidu, it's more accurate to say that Jingu has been influenced by Enkidu's memories. Are their memories gradually synchronizing?"

Although he knew the reason, seeing Siduri so happy, Luo Wei didn't spoil the mood by explaining. After all, he had sent Jingu here to awaken more of Enkidu's memories, so that Jingu could gradually change his previous bad ideas. It seemed that the effect was quite good.

However, he wasn't quite sure why Jingu wanted to save Gorgon, but if he had to explain, it was probably because of the mother-son game she played with Gorgon, and she wanted to repay that kindness. He would probably find out the details by asking Tiamat that night.

They chatted for a while, but since they both had their own work to do, they didn't talk for too long. After saying what she wanted to say, Siduri bowed and left. Before leaving, she didn't forget to say these words to Rowe.

"Everyone in Uruk is very grateful to you, and hopes that Mr. Rowe will take good care of himself."

"Yes, I will. You take good care of yourself too, High Priestess Siduri."

Looking at the high priest's smiling face, which seemed to bring a sense of warmth and comfort, Luo Wei's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. Finally, he remembered what the high priest's final fate was in the original story. It was truly an ending that could not bring anyone to laugh.

"Don't worry, I am the high priest of Uruk, and also an assistant to King Gilgamesh. I will naturally take care of everyone and myself."

"—Yes, that's true."

Luo Wei nodded, the light in his eyes becoming even more complex at this moment. Even now, did he still put everyone before himself?

Siduri...

However, he ultimately didn't say anything else, because he knew that if he tried to persuade Siduri to go to safety with him, the high priest would never agree. Moreover, Uruk's fighting strength was now several times greater than before. The two End Towers, one in front and one behind, formed an anti-aircraft gun emplacement, and the King's Cannon was firing in unison. With so many warriors and Servants, even if the overwhelming Rahmu charged over, they would still have the strength to fight back. Besides, Tiamat wouldn't be coming here this time; the real battlefield was always elsewhere.

After considering these matters, Lowe parted ways with the High Priest and continued with his work, as the maintenance of this row of King's Cannons was no small undertaking.

-

Time flies. Luo Wei was busy from the afternoon until the whole night, and before he knew it, it was already late at night.

Because the Mesopotamian era was too primitive, there were no accurate timekeeping tools, and Lovi was not quite sure what time it was.

However, after examining each of the King's Cannons one by one with Gilgamesh's clay tablets, his entire afternoon's work was finally completed.

Having finished all his work, he stretched and glanced at the city behind him, which had already fallen into darkness. Because there were no electric lights in this era, the night belonged to ghosts and other dark creatures. People had gone to bed early to recover their energy and prepare for the new day.

However, compared to the pitch-black city, the area near the outer city wall was much more lively and brightly lit, with flames burning everywhere and torches everywhere, and soldiers on night patrols under the torches.

As he said, nighttime is the best time for humans to rest, but it is also the time when humans are most vulnerable and weak. Therefore, at this time, we must not only not relax our vigilance, but also be even more vigilant, since those magical beasts are waiting for this time.

Therefore, the figures below the flames are all soldiers responsible for shift changes. They are currently patrolling under Leonidas's leadership, guarding against any potential threats.

Moreover, Scáthach prefers the atmosphere here to staying in the city. For her, the Celtic warrior queen and guardian deity, only the real battlefield can bring her true peace. In addition, there are the most warriors here, and she likes to teach others, or rather, she can experiment her harsh training methods on the soldiers of this era.

As a result, after only half a day, the soldiers who had experienced Scáthach's accelerated training method for becoming heroes of the Land of Shadows suddenly felt that Leonidas's Spartan training method seemed less strict, and even a bit too lenient.

After all, their focuses are different. Scáthach wants heroes who are one in a million, while Leonidas trains warriors who can go to the battlefield. In the end, because he couldn't bear to watch anymore, her training was urgently stopped. If it continued like this, there would be casualties before they even went to the battlefield. So he could only help keep watch on the battlefield at night.

Looking down at the purple figure wielding a magic spear, piercing through several magical beasts that had sneaked in at night, Rowe smiled helplessly. He then greeted Scáthach gently and asked if she wanted to go back together.

However, Scáthach wasn't in a hurry.

The Beast Goddess was indeed still up to her old tricks during the day. A lot of monsters came from afar, probably preparing to launch an attack at night. In order to prevent that guy from showing up again, Scáthach decided to wait for her to appear here. If she dares to show up again, she will definitely take the enemy's head this time.

To this, Luo Wei simply nodded slightly and then told her: Be careful.

If you encounter any difficulties, you can contact yourself. Don't underestimate Gorgon. No matter how embarrassing she is, she is still a genuine goddess of Warcraft.

After greeting Scáthach and confirming that he could leave work, Lovi took the clay tablet and prepared to go back to tell Gilgamesh before returning to his residence to rest.

The temples of Uruk.

As soon as Lovi walked in, he saw Gilgamesh listening to the clerk's report.

Not only was he very busy, but Gilgamesh, as the ruler, was even busier, and it seemed that he had no intention of taking a break at all.

After waiting for a while until the official finished his report, Gilgamesh looked at him. As before, he began with his familiar opening remarks, which was Gilgamesh's signature cold snort. Then he said, "You're back pretty quickly, you mongrel. You got it done in just half a day. It seems I underestimated you before."

"Yes, it's all over. Is there anything else I need to do?"

"If it's a problem with Jingu, I'll go check with Tiamat later," Luo Wei asked.

"Of course there is. After all, the whole of Uruk is busy, so it is no exception. Now, compared to the problem of Kingu, there is an even more important matter that you need to deal with. Quetzalcoatl has surrendered. She has taken one of your lovers to transport the axe of Marduk. What you need to do now is to take the goddess's larva and defeat the monster goddess Gorgon—and use this as the final opening."

"Also, when you go, don't forget to call that little girl. This is her mission, and also her destiny."

Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes and spoke solemnly.

Chapter 261 Farewell

After accepting the task of killing Gorgon from Gilgamesh, Lovi simply left the temple.

Although he had proactively asked Gilgamesh what he saw on the Destiny Tablets, and whether there was any important information about the two Beasts, Goetia and Tiamat, Gilgamesh simply smiled and told him not to worry about it. He could easily handle the Destiny Tablets and the future on his own, and Lovi had his own things to do rather than get involved in his mission.

—Defeating Gorgon, finding Kingu, perfecting his fairy transformation and accumulating magical power, familiarizing himself with Solomon's Noble Phantasms and participating in the final battle—these are all tasks that are not easy for him, so Gilgamesh does not intend to distract him with other matters.

Furthermore, the records on the Destiny Tablets did not directly reveal what the future would be like. He only saw the future of Tiamat's battle with Goetia. Moreover, in the new future pieced together from the two tablets, many processes and details differed from what he had previously seen with his clairvoyance. The most obvious difference was whether Uruk would continue to exist. Therefore, Gilgamesh speculated that this should refer to different directions in the future.

Although many aspects of the prophecy remain shrouded in mystery, there are indeed aspects of the future that Gilgamesh hoped for. Therefore, once he had a general idea of ​​what would happen, Gilgamesh did not press the matter further.

After all, prophecies can only be icing on the cake; while they may resolve temporary confusion, they are by no means omnipotent. If humans or gods become too fixated on prophecies, they will be trapped, misled, and ultimately destroyed—such stories are all too common. Gilgamesh, however, was no ordinary man. He believed that achieving victory to the best of one's ability and doing things to the best of one's ability was sufficient.

Although Luo Wei was curious about the content of the prophecy, he didn't ask Gilgamesh for the answer since Gilgamesh hadn't told him. Instead, he decided to go back first and make one last strategic adjustment for the upcoming decisive battle.

-

Nighttime.

Lovi decisively declined Gilgamesh's invitation to work overtime together and returned to his residence, where Merlin and Melly were already waiting for him.

However, compared to Merlin, who had just returned from Avalon and was still dressed in bright colors and looked beautiful, Merlin looked much more miserable at this moment, his whole body wrapped in bandages, and he started to wail and howl from time to time.

Upon seeing Rowe return, the two men, who together could barely muster a conscience, immediately voiced their opinions.

First came Merlin's complaints. He clung to Lovi's leg like a madman, constantly lamenting how Gilgamesh treated him, dumping half the work in Uruk on him – clearly trying to work him to death! Upon hearing this workload, Merlin, who had initially planned to work a little harder, was about to run away. But when Gilgamesh shouted, a blonde goddess with a distinctly South American style immediately appeared at the door, blocking his way. She said she'd been looking for him for a long time, and having heard he was Uruk's number one wrestler, Gilgamesh had introduced her here specifically for a friendly sparring match.

When Merlin heard this, he was completely stunned. How come he didn't know he had such a strange nickname? The title of "British Sword Saint" was enough. Where did the title of "Uruk's Number One Wrestler" come from?

But his opponent was impatient and didn't give him any time to explain. Merlin was about to say, "I didn't, I didn't," but before he could finish speaking, he was thrown into the sky by Quetzalcoatl's throw, standing shoulder to shoulder with the sun. He then began to free fall, experiencing the truth of physics. In the end, he didn't even know how many bones he had broken. He only just crawled back, barely alive. Now, whenever Merlin hears the word "wrestling," his body starts to tremble involuntarily.

Of course, Lovi knew that this was all because of the good deeds he and Gilgamesh had done.

It was precisely because the two of them had previously described Merlin as a wrestling master from Uruk that he attracted the attention of Quetzalcoatl, a wrestling fanatic, who then took the initiative to come to him to wrestle together. Of course, he wouldn't deliberately explain this to Merlin, since it would be good to let this guy suffer a bit.

Similarly, after ignoring Merlin's wailing, Merlin couldn't stand his embarrassing behavior and constant interruptions, so she kicked him out. She then told Rowe about what happened during her trip back to Avalon.

First, she did find a lot of information and asked the primordial fairy Vivian for some important information. Finally, she sorted out the spell she needed - "Fairy Transformation" and handed it to Luo Wei. Luo Wei nodded to indicate that he understood and then expressed his gratitude to Meryl.

His current fairy transformation is still in its rudimentary form, merely a magical creation obtained by belittling gods. He had already investigated it in the Underworld; it was perfectly adequate against goddesses like Gorgon, but its effectiveness would be greatly diminished if it were used against the chief gods, Hades' Ishtar and Ereshkigal, let alone directly on Tiamat. The main reason for this was that he only knew the basic operating principle, a magic he had deduced himself based on that theory. However, due to time constraints, even with Solomon's records, he couldn't perfect it, as his knowledge of fairies was lacking. But Meli was different; she understood fairies far better. Moreover, she was belittling gods as fairies, although these words infuriated Vivian. As a fairy, the Lady of the Lake who guarded the holy sword was extremely proud and took great pride in her fairy identity; this was truly the first time she had heard such a direct description of belittling gods as fairies.

Are gods so great?

Aren't the gods just Gaia's tentacles?

While the overall strength and legends of fairies may not rival those of the gods, the wisdom and secret arts of the primordial fairies are absolutely no less formidable. Don't forget, the Star Sword was forged by fairies—a feat even the gods struggle to achieve. Furthermore, fairies are not bound by the divine realm; they exist in every divine realm and era. Sometimes they are called celestial spirits, sometimes fairies, and sometimes elves. They are undoubtedly honored guests in every divine realm, frequently consulted or courted by many due to their wisdom. When have they ever been insulted with a derogatory term?

So Vivian originally didn't want to help Meryl, but after being provoked by her, she got angry. Today, she wanted to see what kind of magic could transform gods into fairies. Several other fairy queens, who were also fairies, joined in after Meryl told them about this interesting story. With the help of the wisest fairy queens in Avalon, and since they were fairies themselves, their understanding of fairies was second to none. Moreover, these fairy queens had seen many gods, so they managed to develop the transformation magic in a very short time, which would have taken an unknown amount of time to perfect.

Although, according to Vivian, such a spell, if it were to be passed on, would surely incur the wrath of all the gods, and the spell itself was extremely unreasonable, even more dangerous than Morgan's magic, it should rightfully be completely sealed away in Avalon. However, considering the extremely demanding conditions, very few people in the entire world could perform it, not even the goddesses of Avalon like themselves.

—Because this is still based on the foundation of Christianity, the caster must be a Christian saint or holy son. Furthermore, since the principle of the Fairy Transformation spell is to condense magical energy and transform it into a special form to influence the target, it requires an extremely high level of precise manipulation of magical energy and the ability to distort and reshape the laws of space and energy. Only by combining these abilities can magical energy be activated and guided through specific incantations, gestures, or rituals. No matter how you look at it, it's a groundbreaking magic of "magic" difficulty; even if it were made public, no one could achieve it. Therefore, for something so terrifyingly powerful but with little chance of being realized, she only made a handwritten copy and threw it into Avalon.

However, Vivian was quite interested in Lovi, who could use this spell, as Meryl had mentioned. After all, she hadn't seen anything as interesting as this in a long time, and now the fairies in Avalon had all turned their attention to the sidelines because they had found new fun.

After listening to his account, Lowe nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew everything. He then told Meryl about the situations he had encountered, and what particularly interested her was that Scáthach was also in this singularity, since they were old acquaintances.

"She actually followed us here too? That's quite unexpected. I thought an old woman like her would never face her own emotions or understand her desires, and would just obediently decay in the Land of Shadows."

With a smile, Mary said something very ominous.

"..."

Luo Wei glanced at her, then at the door, making sure his master wouldn't suddenly appear, before letting out a sigh of relief after shooting her straight through the head.

"Don't worry, if I hadn't seen her fighting on the front lines and unable to leave, I wouldn't dare to speak like this here. However, your spell is complete, and all that's left is the final application. Although you only have a few days left, mastering it shouldn't be difficult for you."

After handing the scroll to him, Meryl said seriously, "The rest is up to you."

"Leave it to me."

Rowe accepted the scroll and nodded, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Mary.

Although he usually disliked Meryl, after going through so much, Rowe could naturally feel the sacrifices Meryl had made for him. She had done her best to help him, and this was the last trump card they could play. As for the outcome, they could only do their best and leave the rest to fate.

"Alright, although I'd love to spend more time with you, you need to rest now. Maybe you should work on this. I'll be leaving now." After handing the items to Rowe and discussing the plan to defeat Gorgon, Mary gracefully rose from her chair and slowly stood up. This time, she didn't act silly or try to push Rowe down as usual; instead, she simply got up and prepared to leave.

only--
