The Warrior of Love

In the past few days, she also met two other servants: Castero Avisbronn and Assassino Kato Danzo.

The setting of the ninja girl + silent attribute + mechanical puppet really makes Ritsuka curious, but the puppet master gives people an impression of being difficult to approach.

Caster, who loves puppets, is not very interested in other things. Every day he either makes various puppets or runs to the statue of Mecha God to adjust the details up and down. Occasionally, he will bring Jiang Liu over. The two of them look mysterious and never allow others to approach them. No one knows what they are doing.

In this way, time passed slowly, and Ritsuka felt that the time was almost right, so he planned to leave Lagash and go to Uruk to meet the legendary hero king Gilgamesh.

Of course, it would be difficult to reach Uruk safely and quickly if she only relied on Mashu's strength, but she didn't want to summon the heroic spirits of Chaldea because Jiang Liu assigned her a special car -

"The Immortal Chariot of the Raging Wind and Waves"!

Made in Greece! Sponsored by Poseidon! Super sports car o mythical exclusive!

It only takes half a day to get from Lagash to Uruk!

Achilles was quite dissatisfied with being assigned to patrol a few days ago and now being assigned to be a driver, but since he had nothing else to do, he accepted the escort mission.

——Then Jiang Liu received the news that they had been in a "car accident".

"What did you say?"

Standing in front of a smooth stone wall, Jiang Liu showed a stunned expression when looking at Gilgamesh in the mirror.

"Achilles is seriously injured...but he hasn't contacted me. What happened?"

"Perhaps his pride makes him unwilling to ask you for help."

Gilgamesh's reflection shook his head. "They ran into the followers of the Goddess of Warcraft on the way."

Jiang Liu immediately became serious: "Is it a blackened heroic spirit?"

"This time it's the 'Eleven Demonic Beasts'." Gilgamesh said calmly, "The Demonic Beast Goddess is named 'Tiamat', so she naturally possesses the power of the Mother Goddess of Creation. In addition to those mass-produced Demonic Beasts, she can also create monsters that rival or even surpass Servants."

Jiang Liu nodded. It was impossible for the Warcraft Goddess' followers to be just those small fry. It would not be surprising even if she created mythical monsters.

Gilgamesh continued, “The Eleven Demonic Beasts are the ultimate monsters created by Tiamat to fight against the gods. They may not be comparable to the Bull of Heaven, but they are not something a Servant can handle.

The reason why she didn't create eleven monsters before was because her goal was to destroy all mankind. For this plan, killing efficiency is the first priority, so she needs as many followers as possible.

The killing efficiency of an Eleventh Magical Beast may not be comparable to that of a hundred ordinary Magical Beasts, but the resources and time consumed are far greater than this number! "

"I understand... Is Achilles okay?" Jiang Liu's voice sank.

The Hero King shook his head and patiently explained, “We only encountered two of the Eleven Magical Beasts this time. Fortunately, you chose Rider to escort you. The great Greek hero is indeed worthy of his reputation.

Even though he lost his chariot right at the start, he was still able to hold on against the two super monsters. He could have covered your sister and the others' retreat. I'm afraid it was because of his confidence that he didn't inform you of the situation."

"So there was an accident?" Jiang Liu frowned.

"It was Archer under the command of the Goddess of Warcraft. He seemed to know Achilles' weakness very well and shot him through the ankle in a sneak attack."

"Tsk!"

Jiang Liu was a little anxious: "Then what, how is his condition?"

"It has been 'reclaimed' by the king. It has lost its immortality and several treasures, but its desire to live is very strong. It has been saved. It seems that it has something to do, so it cannot die now."

Gilgamesh saw Jiang Liu's concern and consoled him, "Don't worry, your people are safe...but I can't say anything else."

Jiang Liu was startled: "Could it be Ritsuka and Mashu?"

"The good news is that they were rescued. When they were about to collapse, someone fought off the monster and Archer, and then took them away. When I arrived, I only recovered Rider, and heard the woman's triumphant laughter."

"call……"

"But the bad news is that the people who rescued them are not good people either!"

Gilgamesh's mouth twitched, as if he was suppressing his anger.

"Ishtar... That woman knew they were my guests, so she asked me to exchange them for gems equal to their weight and ten times the gold!"

"Uh..." Jiang Liu was speechless for a while, but at least Lixiang and the others were fine, so he felt a lot more relieved and even became more tolerant towards Ishtar.

"No matter what, she did save someone. Even though she may be taking advantage of someone's misfortune, just consider it as a thank you gift... just give it to her and that's it."

"Naive! Too naive, Jiang Liu!"

Gilgamesh said disdainfully: "You don't understand that woman at all. That greedy, stupid, arrogant goddess who doesn't know when to advance or retreat... There is absolutely no way she will let me go!

Meeting her demands will only make her feel good, and then she will keep asking for more. No matter how many treasures you give her, they will never satisfy her desires!"

Is this goddess crazy because of poverty? !

"No way..." Jiang Liu forced a smile, "No matter what, she is still a goddess--"

"A bet?"

"Uh..." Jiang Liu was silent for a moment, and finally decided to trust Gilgamesh, who knew Ishtar very well.

"What should we do? Should we go to their house and ask for their help?"

"She is the city god of Uruk, and I don't want to kill her if I can help it."

"No, I didn't say that seriously..."

"Leave it to me, my lord. I have a plan... but I need you to execute it. She is too wary of me. By the way, how's your luck?"

"luck?"

Jiang Liu flipped through the various protections he had, enough to make a table.

"Maybe it's OK."

"That's good. Even if it's just ordinary good luck, it's still great luck compared to Ishtar."

Gilgamesh sneered, "Humph, that stupid woman actually coveted my treasure... Just wait and see, I will let her know what regret is!"

Chapter 602: Being fussy about Tousaka Rin

To the east and west of Mesopotamia there are rolling mountains, which together with the sea in the south form a fertile and flat land.

To the northeast of Uruk, there is an exceptionally majestic peak standing among the mountains, called "Peak Abyfulin".

This mountain is not only a commanding point overlooking the entire plain, but also, in a sense, the place closest to the sky. So naturally, it is endowed with a certain divinity and becomes the place where the "Mistress of the Sky" lives.

According to legend, the goddess Ishtar conquered Mount Abyf and established her authority, making the Mistress of the Sky the second most powerful person after the father god "An".

It can be said that Mount Abyfulin is a "holy mountain" in the eyes of the Sumerians and has a very special status.

However, now that the end of the world is approaching, the wilderness and mountains are full of magical beasts, and no one comes here to worship and offer sacrifices anymore, so even the holy mountain has inevitably become desolate.

And on top of this sacred peak, there is a "visible" Temple of Ishtar.

The reason why it can be recognized at a glance is not only because this place is closely related to Ishtar, but also because of the gorgeous and exaggerated decorations and the design style that seems like a nouveau riche. Whether it is the lucky cat at the door or the slogan in the tone of the casino, they all fully express the owner's desire for money.

——Looking at this tacky building that could be called a "spectacle", Jiang Liu suddenly became full of confidence in this trip.

"Is this Ishtar's own fault, or is it the possessed one who is influencing her?"

-

“Oh, oh, oh…it’s coming, it’s really coming!”

The black-haired goddess, sitting on the throne with pretending to be majestic and holding her chin with one hand, let out an extremely exaggerated laugh.

“I’m surprised that Gilgamesh, that arrogant guy, would admit defeat. But there’s nothing to be ashamed of. After all, as the king of Uruk, it’s only natural for him to present the gem to the patron saint of Uruk!

Rather, I have never been worshipped by him... What a despicable fellow."

"Ahem, goddess, I am not here to pay my respects to you this time, but to thank you."

Jiang Liu raised his voice and asked, "Are the people brought by the goddess okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry, this is my territory, they won't be in any danger... By the way, you look familiar, have I seen you somewhere before?"

"This……"

"what!"

Ishtar stood up suddenly and pointed at Jiang Liu and shouted loudly.

"You're the guy flying in front of me at that time!"

"Nice to meet you again, my goddess." Jiang Liu forced a smile.

"It is indeed the second time we have met... Why, are you working for Gilgamesh now?"

Ishtar put her hands on her hips and raised her head slightly.

"What a pity! Although you lost to me, your speed is pretty good. It's a waste for such a person to serve Gilgamesh. Why don't you just follow me? As long as you offer gems to this goddess every month, I will make an exception and let you become my servant."

Others pay their subordinates wages, but this guy is taking money from the servants...

"Well, let's stop talking nonsense. Goddess, I'm here to pick someone up."

Jiang Liu waved his hand and summoned a dark door, from which he took out a bulging deerskin bag that looked quite heavy.

Open your pocket, and you will see the colorful gems and processed jewelry reflecting a dazzling golden light.

"—"

For a moment, the goddess' eyes became empty, but soon returned to normal, but her voice still couldn't help but become anxious.

"Yeah, yes, there is such a thing... Come out, you two, you can go back now!"

Following the goddess' command, the ground shook slightly and the sound of stone slabs rubbing against each other was heard, as if some mechanism had been activated deep in the temple.

Not long after, two familiar figures walked over.

"elder brother!"

"Mr. Jiang Liu..."

Lixiang naturally showed an extremely happy expression when he saw Jiang Liu, but it was soon tinged with a hint of gloom.

"Brother, Achilles, how is he?"

Green Rider was there to protect the two of them——strictly speaking, he was only protecting Ritsuka——

The black-haired girl was attacked by a surprise attack during the evacuation, and she took the responsibility on herself, feeling a little uneasy.

"It's alright. Achilles was saved by the King of Heroes and is now receiving treatment in Uruk."

Jiang Liu did not reveal the fact that Achilles had lost his immortality and was just holding on with just one breath.

Logically speaking, Achilles should have died after being shot through the heel, just like Siegfried's back, which was their weak spot that could not be touched.

But in fact, he has a very high level of "combat continuation", and can continue fighting as long as his heart is still beating.

"Great, Rider is fine...By the way, brother, it was this Ishtar-sama who saved Mash and me."

Ritsuka held his hands towards the black-haired goddess and spoke in a tone as if introducing a celebrity.

“Ishtar is so powerful. She is not only the mistress of the sky, but also the protector of Uruk and the goddess of Venus!

Moreover, looking at her long, smooth hair and her perfect body without a trace of excess fat, it really makes me feel ashamed of myself. She is truly the embodiment of beauty!"

"Yes, yes, Miss Ishtar is very strong. She easily defeated such a huge monster."

Mashu blushed and said shyly, "As for her appearance, her solemn and sacred beauty is simply incomparable to people like us..."

Jiang Liu opened his mouth slightly and looked at Lixiang and the others in surprise, not knowing what they were doing.

“Hehehe… Hehe, okay, okay, this goddess has many advantages, and there is no need to mention every one of them.”

Ishtar touched her hair and sat back on the throne leisurely, with her two slender and round legs crossed, looking very light and graceful.

"But there's nothing I can do about it. After all, this is all true. After all, I'm the perfect goddess who possesses beauty, strength, and power!

Ritsuka and Mashu are really something. There is no need to point out such an obvious thing because I myself am the best proof. As long as you see this sacred figure, you will naturally understand.

What do you say, Messenger of Gilgamesh?

Jiang Liu: “…”

Seeing that she almost forgot her own name, Jiang Liu was speechless for a while, but he also understood what his sister wanted to do.

It's nothing more than praising her to the sky so that it's easier to fool her!

Only Ishtar herself could not see such an obvious plot...

However, Jiang Liu is now extremely confident and no longer needs to use such means to fool his followers.

"Well, my name is Yuanshan Jiangliu, please remember it."

He clapped his hands, and another door opened in the void, but this time no pocket appeared, instead, shining gold fell out of it!
