However, at the last moment, he still spoke up and said, "There are some things that I didn't say because I thought they would spoil the mood and I was worried that the two little girls wouldn't be able to accept them or would feel guilty. But you know very well, even though the singularity is not the real world, the people who die here will die for another reason in the official history."

As he spoke, the meticulously sculpted figure seated on the throne seemed to have thought of something amusing. Gilgamesh smiled and continued:

"Of course, the same principle applies in reverse. Those who survive today also survive in official history! You bastard, without a doubt, it was you who saved my Uruk. This time, I will reluctantly praise you! I wish you a future where you can reach the end you desire. Brat, see you again someday."

"Well, see you again someday, King Gigi."

"Hmph, what an incredibly stupid name."

This time, Gilgamesh did not refute, but simply chuckled softly. Then, he leaned back on his throne and stared blankly at the night sky, his heart finding an unprecedented peace—a sense of relief unique to Gilgamesh.

Volume 6 Chaldea Chronicles

Chapter 318 The Visitors to Chaldea

After the final farewells and pleasantries, Gilgamesh made a point of emphasizing his treasure trove and the sword Ea.

On one hand, this was Gilgamesh's reward and recognition of Lovi's outstanding military achievements, and also compensation for his own usurpation of those achievements. On the other hand, it also reflected his foresight that the battle between Chaldea and Lovi would not end with the burning of humanity, and this was the last bit of effort he could exert.

"But wait a moment..."

Gilgamesh's all-seeing eyes looked at the hundreds of huge cannon turrets on the city wall, and a pang of sadness welled up in his heart: "Besides the sword Ea and the treasury, I have something else I want to give you."

"Go to the city wall and take as many of the remaining cannons as you can. After all, they are the result of my painstaking efforts. It would be a waste to leave them here to gather dust and be buried by history. Anyway, I have no more assets to use them in battle, so take them all. They might still be of some use."

As he spoke, Gilgamesh's eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.

"Also, remember to leave me a few axes from the treasury. I've given you all the Ea, so I don't even have a decent weapon anymore. And I've completely emptied my coffin money for burial. I might become the first king in history to have no burial goods... Damn it, has Uruk really fallen so low under my rule?!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei's lips twitched. Although he had also checked the entire King's Treasury, it was now completely empty except for some weapons and potion ingredients. However, he had not expected that the once wealthy King Gigi had fallen to such a state.

"Wait a minute. If it's burial goods, I can go to Ereshkigal and ask for some other people's burial goods to share with you. You can use this to cover your coffin expenses. However, you might have to go to the underworld to work and pay off your debts for a while."

The moment the topic of burial goods came up, Luo Wei immediately thought of Ellie, the mistress of the underworld.

Although her divine duties appear sinister, she is actually incredibly wealthy. After all, nobles of this era would take many gold and silver treasures with them when they died, and those things naturally belonged to the goddess of the underworld.

However, Ereshkigal is not Ishtar; she has no interest in these lifeless gold and silver jewels, which is why she appears somewhat shabby.

Afterwards, through the Netherworld blessing that Ereshkigal had placed on him, Lovi easily contacted her via the ley lines, discussed Gilgamesh's problem, and proposed a hiring option.

Eresh originally intended to give the useless jewels directly to Gilgamesh, but Lovi said that Gilgamesh had just parted from the gods, and giving him so many jewels would be seen as a divine reward, which would taint his will and he would not accept it. Hiring him would be fair, so both sides were able to accept it.

In short, that's the situation. Gilgamesh, in order to maintain his final dignity as the oldest king, signed a contract to sell himself after death while he was still alive. In exchange for a large number of burial goods, he planned to go to the underworld to help Ereshkigal build an underground city after he died.

Despite the fact that he would have to go to work even after he died, Gilgamesh's face twitched, but he still felt helpless about it.

The hundreds of cannons on the city wall were also taken away by Luo Wei without any hesitation, and they have now become his property.

Fortunately, Gilgamesh gave Ea, otherwise it would have been very difficult to transport so many cannons back, and they would probably have just been left to gather dust.

As for the fact that the King's Cannon had lost its ammunition due to the empty treasury, Lowe was not too worried. Although the ammunition problem was a bit troublesome, it was not unsolvable. In short, he would take these things back first.

With that, all of Luo Wei's problems in the Seventh Singularity were resolved, and the matter was officially over.

Immediately after packing everything up, Luo Wei said goodbye and prepared to depart.

"Oh right, miscellaneous cultivator."

Gilgamesh suddenly called out to Lovi, "Kingu is currently possessing Enkidu's body, and that guy will probably leave with Tiamat soon... right?"

Although he didn't say it outright, Gilgamesh's words implied that he was still very concerned about Enkidu's body.

Upon hearing this, Lowe shook his head and said, "She won't leave with Tiamat. She doesn't have the ability to manifest independently. Right now, she only exists as a soul attached to Enkidu's body. She cannot be summoned."

"Although I said I could find a way to take her soul and create a new body for her, Jingu said it wasn't necessary. She said—(Although my mother loved humans, I still couldn't fall in love with them, so human society isn't suitable for someone like me. Besides, the land my mother merged with needs someone to protect it, and I'm just right.)"

Jingu: "And I have a pact with the King of Uruk, so it's time to return this body to him. So take good care of your mother, you piece of trash."

So what this means is that Kingu's choice was not to go to Chaldea, but to continue protecting the land that Tiamat had merged with with her body on this land.

"Really? That's good... She kept her promise."

Gilgamesh sighed softly, seemingly with a touch of melancholy.

"Enkidu was my dearest friend, and I will give him a proper burial. It's just a pity that I will never see him again..."

A gentle evening breeze began to blow across the sky, and as darkness fell, everything seemed utterly desolate...

"You can rest assured about that. After you die, Ereshkigal will probably keep your soul and Enkidu's soul together. You might even become colleagues, so you won't be lonely then."

Gilgamesh nodded with a hint of relief upon hearing this.

"Is that so? In that case, I, Your Majesty—"

"I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it. Speaking of Enkidu, I seem to have some things to do."

At this moment, Gilgamesh suddenly clutched his heart, because it seemed that in order to play a trick on Gilgamesh at the last moment, Lovi actually used illusion magic to transform himself into Enkidu's appearance.

He smiled gently and said, “Gil, I see. You have finally walked a long road alone. The once arrogant king now has the weight of time in his eyes—this is not old age, but that you have finally understood the significance of the word 'life.' I still remember the days when we fought Humbaba and tamed the longhorn beetle together. Back then, you pursued eternity but forgot the preciousness of the present. Now, you may no longer be an ageless myth, but you are more like a 'human' than ever before. This is good.”

"Now I can finally rest easy, with no regrets whatsoever. I really look forward to our reunion in the future, my dearest friend."

Upon seeing this scene, especially since Lovi's imitation of Enkidu's appearance was almost nine-tenths similar to what he remembered, Gilgamesh panicked for a moment and actually thought that Enkidu had returned.

In an instant, the somber atmosphere and melancholy vanished, and his mind and body were greatly healed.

Even his body, which had gone bankrupt from long hours of overtime, recovered at this moment, but because he recovered so much blood, he felt a surge of adrenaline.

He stared intently at Lovi, never expecting him to possess such skill. At this moment, Gilgamesh could only think, "I never knew you had this skill! You should have said so earlier! If you had, I wouldn't be sleepy at all!"

But before he could speak, Luo Wei waved from below, turned his back, and walked towards the door.

Goodbye, Jill. Live your life earnestly, even if you're alone.

He used Enkidu's appearance to relay the last words in Enkidu's place, and then left.

"What?! You're leaving so soon? No rush, would you like to come in and sit for a while longer? My room is very spacious!!"

However, before he could finish speaking, Luo Wei's figure disappeared from the palace, returning to his original form to reunite with the people waiting for him outside.

—Even clairvoyance could be fooled; my illusion magic has indeed reached the point of being indistinguishable from reality.

After leaving, Luo Wei rubbed his face. Transforming into Enkidu wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, nor was it due to any perverse interest in cross-dressing. It was because when he was massaging Kingu's heart and adjusting his body, he sensed Enkidu's lingering consciousness. Enkidu had indeed helped him somewhat; if Enkidu hadn't been so receptive, Kingu wouldn't have adapted to the new heart so easily. He had simply helped Enkidu convey what Enkidu wanted to tell Gilgamesh.

Because these words were indeed spoken by Enkidu, and he was imitating the appearance of Enkidu from his memories, even Gilgamesh panicked and almost followed Ramses II's example, saying that Enkidu had been reincarnated as Lovi.

However, when he heard that Gilgamesh wanted him to go inside and sit for a while, Luo Wei quickened his pace and left. He didn't want to verify some of Gilgamesh's twisted statements.

Now that things are completely over here, he is about to set off.

Gazing at the night sky, after reuniting with their long-awaited lovers, the long-unseen teleportation magic once again shone brightly.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling meteor shot into the sky.

Many people who shouldn't have existed have left this era that has returned to normal.

Under the night sky, the people busy with the celebrations did not notice the shooting star, still immersed in the joy of reuniting with their families.

Some observant people noticed the shooting star and clasped their hands together to make a wish.

But no matter when or where, no matter what kind of people we are, we are all human beings living on this land. In the years to come, they will continue to leave their footprints everywhere on this land, taking root and sprouting, passing on the torch of civilization, life after life.

Because the methods of transfer are different, there are differences in the flow rate over time.

When Lovi arrived at Chaldea with the coordinates given to him by Dr. Roman, he had been separated from Ritsuka and Mash for twelve hours.

They were initially overjoyed to hear that Artoria and Rowe were coming, and insisted on waiting for them to return. However, because they had been in the Seventh Singularity for too long, Roman was worried about their health. So Roman forced them to go to Leonardo da Vinci for a medical check-up. As a result, when Rowe arrived, only Roman, who had been guarding the control room, and another old acquaintance were there.

"Long time no see, Lao Fu."

Lowe greeted Holmes.

"Long time no see? Hahaha, I feel like we just met a few months ago."

Holmes chuckled, pipe in hand.

"A day feels like three autumns."

Lo Wei responded to him humorously.

The two then nodded and bumped fists like old friends who had known each other for a long time.

"Hmm, they actually came back."

Compared to Lovi, Artoria on the other side was much more familiar with this place.

After all, this was the place where she had worked under an assumed name for many years.

When she was stranded in this world, Merlin pointed her in a direction and told her to work here. As a result, she worked here for many years.

After working hard for so long, she not only has her own staff dormitory here, but she is also a regular at the canteen. If it weren't for her strength, which allows her to carry the workload of many people, and the fact that Maris Billy clearly saw something but deliberately didn't say anything, she might have been kicked out long ago.

Originally, she really wanted to be an ordinary employee and wait for Lovi to pick her up, enjoying a peaceful life. However, because of Rafe's situation, she was forced to take on a mission in a time of crisis, leading Ritsuka and Mash to bravely venture into the Singularity.

Even now, she still remembers the wonderful look on the face of that black version of herself when she met her at the Fuyuki Singularity. At that time, she could be said to have returned all the words that Luo Wei had said when he beat her up to this world's version of herself. The feeling at that time was incredibly satisfying, especially when she was scolding herself, like a senior disciplining a junior. And she also realized how stupid she had been back then.

I didn't expect you to be back so soon. Artoria really misses it...

Of course, what she missed most was the hamburger patties and French fries at the Chaldea Dining Hall.

After greeting Roman, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and asking if the Chaldea cafeteria was still open at this hour, Artoria hurriedly prepared to leave with Alter Alter.

During this time, she wanted to drag Lovi along to eat. She had a lot of money in her Chaldea salary card, enough to book the cafeteria for a long time. However, Lovi said he had some things to do and told them to go ahead first, saying he would arrive soon. As for Black Lancer Alter, she was still a little confused about what was going on, but after hearing Artoria's description, she decisively changed her tone and her eyes became sharp.

"Is that so? Lead the way, I'd like to try the burger you mentioned."

Then Artoria, familiar with the route, led them on their way.

Watching them leave, Roman couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself, "Indeed, every single Miss Artoria is the same."

But when he thought of Mr. Emiya, who was still working in the cafeteria today, his expression suddenly turned sympathetic.

The banquet that followed was already busy enough, and now two big eaters like Artoria have suddenly joined in.

He could only pray silently for him, hoping that he was alright.

After the three of them left in a hurry, Roman was still a little nervous about meeting Lovi for the first time.

Even though Luo Wei said that he was no longer the Holy Son or the Saint, and that you were no longer who you used to be, he couldn't relax. After all, the other party had just helped him solve such a problem, and he had indeed been somewhat inactive.

So, to relax, Roman could only talk to Lovi while showing him around Chaldea.

During that time, he also asked where the Demon Pillars had gone.
