The Warrior of Love

"You're right... Hehe, I actually have this kind of weak side. It's really ridiculous. I can't help but laugh at myself."

Gilgamesh laughed, and the previous heavy expression returned to his face again, with confidence and pride.

“Yes, it’s time to think about the future… Well, the most scarce material right now is not food or stone, but manpower.

No matter how many soldiers and peasants there are, they are still not enough. However, what I need most is not ordinary soldiers, but a commander who can take charge and share the pressure with me. After all, I can't just stand guard at the city wall all the time."

"That is to say..."

"Recruit men, just like you did with Merlin."

Gilgamesh snapped his fingers and said proudly, "Of course, in common parlance it is - Heroic Spirit Summoning!"

"really!"

Jiang Liu's mind moved: "Speaking of this, Lagash City is also short of management talents. Now there are only me and my companions, and we really need help."

"That's perfect. I'll just draw a few more magic circles and we can summon the Heroic Spirits together."

Gilgamesh pondered for a moment: "As for the servant's magic supply... I can only rely on the "Big Cup"."

Most of his magic power and the magic resources in the treasury are used to build the city defense of Uruk, leaving no spare power to supply his servants.

But the title of "the oldest local tycoon in the world" is not false. There are indeed many extremely precious treasures in his treasury, including high-level magic furnace cores that are enough to support the consumption of servants.

——"The Great Cup of Uruk".

This is a ritual vessel for sacrifice and a symbol of power and wealth. It has the function of a "holy grail" and its quality is even better than that of ordinary mass-produced holy grails.

In fact, this thing may be one of the prototypes of the "Holy Grail" in history.

There is no problem using the Uruk Cup to feed a few servants, but Jiang Liu will eventually return to Lagash City. If he also uses the cup to feed the demons...

"I don't need it."

Jiang Liu smiled and said confidently: "Lagesh is not Uruk. We don't need too many servants. Summoning three or four will be enough. If there are only this many, I can provide them with magic myself."

Even though this is not his original body, his spiritual foundation is now as strong as a god. In addition, he can borrow the free energy in the earth veins and the atmosphere, so his magic power recovery speed is much faster than that of ordinary main gods.

The Lion King in Chapter 6 created the Holy City single-handedly and summoned the Knights of the Round Table.

Jiang Liu doesn't have the Holy Spear in his hand, so he can't cheat like her, but he can still afford three or four servants!

"Then it's decided."

Gilgamesh turned to the priestess and said, "Siduri, prepare the materials and venue for the séance ceremony... well, clean up a few rooms as well. Uruk will soon have a few more heroes."

"I understand." The priestess nodded and went down to prepare without saying anything else.

Jiang Liu was thinking over here: If he wants to summon a heroic spirit, should he prepare holy relics for a specific summon, or should he not use holy relics and look at the compatibility and rely on luck?

Chapter 591: Mother and Son of Fengmo

After thinking it over, Jiang Liu decided that it would be better to just try his luck, after all, he had "good luck".

——【The Brave Warrior of the God-favored Planet】.

This ability among the six great protections is basically a setting similar to being chosen by the world like a "savior", and its effect will be extremely terrifying when it is truly exerted.

However, the so-called "savior" is only likely to appear at the end of the world. Unless it is a truly desperate moment, it will not be easy for Jiang Liu to be recognized by the world's will and become the agent of the planet.

Generally speaking, the more mature the world will is, the more wary it will be of people like Jiang Liu who have the qualifications to be a "savior" but cannot be controlled by them.

At least, Alaya of the Type-Moon world has always been very cautious.

Therefore, Jiang Liu almost never actually used this ability. He just enjoyed the bonus buff such as magic recovery. It was a special trump card that was not easily used.

However, it is not completely useless, as it also has a passive effect:

[The luck value is greatly improved. In all situations where luck judgment is required, favorable developments will definitely occur. ]

Although this blessing cannot be observed with the naked eye, Jiang Liu can vaguely feel that his luck has improved a lot.

In "God Slayer", one encounters a disobedient god almost every once in a while. In addition to the many causes and consequences and fates that are entangled with him, I'm afraid this good luck also plays a part in it.

As a Caster, Gilgamesh's own level of magic is actually quite questionable, but he does not need to fight like an ordinary magician.

In his collection are many powerful spellbooks and magic wands. By manipulating these colorful magic costumes, the level of magic he displays is stronger than that of an ordinary Caster.

A certain big-eyed and cute tentacle magician once relied on a "Rayan Castle Textbook" to participate in the Holy Grail War with the job of Caster and turned the world upside down, let alone Gilgamesh.

Even the highest level of spirit summoning ritual, the summoning of Heroic Spirits (Servants), was recorded in one of his collections.

The magic circle was quickly prepared, and Gilgamesh was going to summon six servants as expected. Since Merlin had already been "recruited" in advance, the remaining six classes were completed this time.

Jiang Liu only needed to summon three people, and unlike Gilgamesh, the magic circle in front of him was not connected to the Uruk Cup, but established a magic channel with himself.

"Okay, let's get started!"

Unlike the Holy Grail system in Fuyuki City, Gilgamesh did not require a very complicated summoning spell. He simply incorporated the brief contract clauses into the magic circle and directly input magic power into it.

The golden-haired hero king said solemnly: "In the name of the hero king Gilgamesh, all the brave warriors who can defeat a thousand enemies with one horse, gather under my command!"

The six summoning arrays in front of him suddenly lit up with brilliant light, and at the same time Jiang Liu also started his own ceremony.

"You are under me, and my fate rests on your sword. I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in the world. Those who follow this will and reason, please respond to me, Guardian of the Scales!"

hum-

The golden light spread in all directions, causing a stir in the hall. The priestess Siduri subconsciously covered her eyes, and only opened them again when the light dimmed a little. What came into her sight were figures of various shapes but all emitting a majestic aura.

Without observing Gilgamesh's servants, Jiang Liu went to see the heroes he summoned as soon as he felt that the "connection" had been established.

There were three people in total, two men and one woman.

After seeing the appearance of the three people clearly, Jiang Liu had a feeling of "as expected" and was also a little surprised.

Among them were his old acquaintances, who were obviously summoned according to compatibility and cause and effect, but there were also newcomers whom he had never seen before.

A heroic warrior with green hair, wearing light armor and leather combat uniform, his weapon is a spear, and he exudes an eye-catching fighting spirit. He is a natural warrior, a hero among heroes!

—Achilles!

One of the greatest heroes in Greek mythology and the most dazzling warrior in the Trojan War!

There is no need to enumerate his military exploits in great detail; it is enough to know that he was often compared to Hercules, and this fact alone is sufficient to illustrate his place among the Greek heroes.

Given Jiang Liu's connection to the Greek pantheon and his affinity with Achilles, it's not surprising that he would summon this hero.

Compared to Achilles, the other male servant was undoubtedly much less imposing, and was nowhere near as upright and vigorous as the immortal hero.

With strange attire, thin body and metal mask covering his face, he is a person with a gloomy and deep temperament.

But he is also an old acquaintance of Jiang Liu—Castero Avisbronn!

The founder of Kabbalah magic and a master in the field of puppets, his achievements in magic are undoubtedly among the best.

As for the last one...

She was a black-haired girl with an inorganic beauty. From her appearance, one could tell that she was an Oriental Servant. Her ninja-style attire looked quite familiar to Jiang Liu.

Her body structure is obviously different from that of ordinary people. There are traces of mechanical structures on the joints, and in terms of the atmosphere she gives people, she does have the feeling of a doll.

A clever doll in the shape of a female ninja...

After searching his memory, Jiang Liu found that there was no information about this heroic spirit in his mind, which meant that she should not have appeared in the FGO plot... or Jiang Liu traveled through time before her plot came.

(He only knew the story of the first part, the Burning of Humanity, and didn't know what happened after Goetia.)

The summoning of ninja servants might be related to the Ashina style inherited by Jiang Liu, or it might be some other factors. After all, the summoning of Heroic Spirits is very random and no one can predict what might happen.

But no matter what, these three servants are now his subordinates, and the master-servant relationship must be clarified first.

"My name is "Yuan Shan Jiang Liu", and I am your Master. I will be grateful for your guidance from now on."

"Oh, this time the Master seems to be very courageous. Ridero Achilles, obey the call and rush here. Leave the charge to me. Nothing can stop me!"

The green-haired hero was very forthright, while the magician was much more calm and only spoke briefly.

"Castero Avisbronn, I will do my best. Ah... I have a feeling that you will become my hope. If my long-cherished wish can be fulfilled, it must be because of you."

The last puppet girl knelt on one knee and respectfully offered her loyalty.

"Assassino Kato Danzo, I will serve you at your command for the sake of your lord's cause."

"Ugh?!"

Before Jiang Liu could say anything, a surprised cry came from Gilgamesh beside him.

He turned to look and saw one of the six Servants in the Hero King's summoning circle.

A young man with red hair, bangs covering his eyes, and dressed like a ninja with an introverted temperament, was looking at this place with a surprised expression.

No, this line of sight, should it be looking at Assassin?

Familiar?

Chapter 592: The Girl in the Black Forest

While Jiang Liu was summoning heroes in distant Uruk, the goddess of wisdom Athena was also handling affairs of all sizes in the city of Lagash.

No, now she should not be called "Goddess Athena", but "Priest Pallas".

In order to adapt to the local customs, she did not wear a Greek-style white robe or a modern OL outfit, but a local-style long skirt and veil. If Jiang Liu saw it, he would probably think it was closer to Siduri's outfit.

However, these clothes were all woven by Athena herself, and both the texture and style were more refined and elegant.

In the eyes of the residents of Lagash, Athena is the spokesperson of God (Jiang Liu). Although Jiang Liu has not taken the initiative to admit which god he is, ordinary people firmly believe that he is the incarnation of a Sumerian god who has come to the world to save them.

Therefore, in this atmosphere, Athena is also highly respected.

In addition, she taught the people various knowledge and skills such as farming, hunting, building houses, and treating diseases, and her status became increasingly honorable, even comparable to Jiang Liu.

That afternoon, Athena inspected the growth of wheat in the fields, made a batch of herbal packages that could cure typhoid and distributed them, and then returned to the temple to handle daily chores.

Thirty or forty thousand people may not seem like a lot, but in later times, any county or even town would have more people than that. But in this era of two or three thousand years BC, the gods had not completely disappeared, and the level of development of human civilization was not very high. It was very rare for a small town to accommodate such a large population.

It is undoubtedly a very difficult task to manage these survivors who have gathered from all directions by one's own strength.

But neither Jiang Liu nor Athena are ordinary people, and this is just a minor inconvenience to them.

For example, Athena has the insight to see through a person's essence, so she can distinguish between good and bad, and select people with outstanding abilities or impeccable morals from the crowd to serve as the middle layer, responsible for carrying out the tasks she issued.

When encountering some civil disputes, Athena can tell who is right and who is wrong at a glance. It can be said that there is no one or anything in the entire city that can blind her eyes.

However, even so, due to the limitations of personal abilities, many things are impossible for ordinary people to do and can only fall on Athena and Jiang Liu.

After Jiang Liu left, all these tasks fell on Athena, allowing her to experience the life of office workers thousands of years later.

While dealing with the "documents" made of clay slabs, she rubbed her brows in frustration. When she thought about how she had to sit here all day without any leisure time, while Jiang Liu could be outside and have fun... Athena became more and more annoyed!

Although I am formally his servant, there is no need for me to work so hard, right?

Why did I agree to help him govern this city and take on so many troublesome things? Really!

Well, although his attitude of protecting the weak was indeed quite decent at that time, and I also admire such noble and resolute heroes, but in the final analysis, this is just because as the "mother of heroes", I have a natural liking for outstanding warriors.

It has absolutely nothing to do with personal feelings!

Come to think of it, I just had a little pity for these weak humans.

This is nothing. After all, I have a "guardian angel" side to me, so it's normal for me to protect them.

But why should all the work be given to me, that bastard!

Someone's face flashed through her mind, and the silver-haired girl became even more irritated for no reason.

At this moment, the herald, who saw that she was in a bad mood, came over with some trepidation.

"Lord Pallas."

"Ok?"

Athena came back to her senses and looked at her assistant.

"What's wrong? Has someone suddenly fallen ill again? The first batch of doctors selected should have learned almost everything. I want them to try. If it doesn't work, I will do it myself."

"That's not the case. There is no unusual movement in the city for the time being. Everyone is doing their job under the leadership of Lord Pallas."

The assistant shook his head and brought up a clay slab.

"It was a patrol team outside the city that sent a message saying they saw something strange."

"Strange thing? Are you sure it's not a monster?" Athena looked at the soil slab.
