Although it was wartime, the city was lively and bustling, and none of the tens of thousands of citizens and soldiers were discouraged. Although everyone was nervous, hurried, and the pace was fast, they all smiled and faced everything in the future with enthusiasm. The whole city was full of fighting spirit and the vitality to survive.
What is even more incredible is the well-organized streets. The entire city has a well-connected transportation network with clear divisions according to duties. Military industry, construction, commerce, and life have been redesigned to meet all needs.
Although it was a tribal civilization around 4,000 BC, what appeared in Woban's sight was a perfect battle city that could also work in modern times. Woban had been to three or five ancient cities, but no matter which era, even the modern times less than 300 years away from the 21st century, no city could surpass Uruk. In terms of people's enthusiasm for life, the modern society of the 21st century could not compare.
Of course, such a city is unique in Mesopotamia. In Woban's sight, the dozens of surviving cities, except for Uruk, were all dead silent, and the residents were like zombies. It was as if the whole of Mesopotamia was divided into two regions.
Chapter 306 Beastll
While sighing, Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group crossed the city and arrived at the temple where Gilgamesh was.
In the temple, Gilgamesh and the priests were handling all matters of Uruk in an orderly manner. Because of the fall of Venus a few days ago, the monsters that were attacking the north wall of Uruk stopped for about a day and only launched an attack again yesterday afternoon, so the affairs of the temple were not very busy.
"King Gilgamesh! Magician Merlin is here with guests!" Merlin pulled Fujimaru Ritsuka's arm, walked quickly towards Gilgamesh's throne, and shouted heartily.
"Senior...Senior...! Mr. Merlin, wait a moment~!" Mash hurriedly followed.
"Hmm?" Gilgamesh raised his eyelids and looked at Merlin, his gaze sweeping over Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu, Li Jiro, Gabriel, and Anna.
"You're back safely, magician Merlin. You've worked hard. The king is very happy." Hearing Merlin's call, Siduri turned around and greeted Merlin gently.
"..."
Gilgamesh said nothing, but his eyes changed. From critical to - no, this king was not happy.
"What about the results? Did you bring back the Tablet of Destiny?"
Merlin didn't care about Gilgamesh's attitude, and Siduri didn't notice Gilgamesh's eyes. She went straight to the point and asked about the most important thing.
"No, we found nothing over there either. That thing is not in the cedar forest on the west side. ... Really, if you still remembered where you put it, I wouldn't have to work so hard." Merlin shrugged and complained calmly.
"How disrespectful! Shut up immediately. The king was tired when he was writing the clay tablet. He lost his memory due to extreme fatigue... Although I have never heard of such a thing, since the king said so, it must be true. You just have to obey orders and explore carefully." Siduri quickly frowned and blamed Merlin, then changed the subject, "Compared to this question... Who are these people? They don't look like citizens of Uruk at all..."
"No need, I have a general idea of the situation."
Gilgamesh interrupted Siduri and became serious.
"The magician of the observatory may be a man with a destiny, but judging from his stupid appearance, he seems to be unable to hear the voice of the earth."
After staring at Fujimaru Ritsuka for a few seconds, Gilgamesh shook his head and spoke calmly.
"But it doesn't matter, because I don't need you now. You are foreign objects that appeared in this era. No, you are redundant elements, or even useless. Uruk is the city that I should protect. The disasters that occurred in this era should be solved by the people of this era. There is no need to rely on the power of Chaldea. Even if the sky collapses and the earth breaks, I will only pay attention to you for this audience."
Everyone was stunned. No one had expected that Gilgamesh would reject them so bluntly. It was clearly the end of the world, but he still refused other people's help.
After that, Gilgamesh turned his head to look at Siduri and ordered: "Chief Priest! The treatment of these guys in Uruk is completely in your hands! Although it will be troublesome, please take good care of them."
"I understand."
Siduri bowed slightly and answered.
Afterwards, Gilgamesh picked up a stone tablet again and handled Uruk's official business with an attitude of seeing him off, and it was obvious that he did not intend to say anything more to Fujimaru Ritsuka.
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu looked at each other, took a step forward and wanted to say something, but were grabbed by Merlin's arm.
Fujimaru Ritsuka turned around, only to see Merlin shaking his head, then turning to look at Gilgamesh and saying loudly: "Then we'll go out first, King Gilgamesh."
Gilgamesh paused and said without raising his head, "Get away from me. Also, don't cause any more trouble."
"I know, I know."
Merlin waved, turned around and walked out, and Mashu, Anna and others quickly followed.
"What should we do in the future, Master..." Standing outside the temple, Mashu asked Fujimaru Ritsuka in distress.
"Please don't worry. I will take care of your life now." Siduri took over the conversation and said in a friendly manner, "I'm sorry for introducing myself late. I'm Siduri. I'm one of the king's assistants and also the person in charge of the sacrificial site."
"My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, this is Mashu, and the other two are Erlang Shen and Gabriel. Thank you for your guidance." Fujimaru Ritsuka also gave his name, which was a belated greeting.
"I am. Welcome, everyone from Chaldea. I will be responsible for entertaining you before you leave Uruk. Thank you for your guidance," Siduri responded with a smile, "Next, please follow me. I will take you to the special dormitory first."
No one refused. After all, saving the world would take time. Since they had come to the city, they should at least have a place to live.
Walking on the streets of Uruk, Fujimaru Ritsuka tugged at the corner of Merlin's clothes and asked directly: "Merlin, what did Gilgamesh mean before?"
"To put it simply, he recognizes your intentions. He has seen your struggles all the way to the sixth singularity. The strength of Erlang Shen and Gabriel is also worthy of his attention. In his opinion, you have the same status as him. Therefore, he does not intend to include you in Uruk's deployment, but let you act freely according to your own will." Merlin smiled and expressed his views on Chaldea on behalf of Gilgamesh.
"Merlin is right. Although I don't quite understand it yet, the king told me, 'take care of them.' That lord rarely says anything to this extent." Siduri agreed.
"So that's how it is." Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized. She remembered that Roman had said before that King Gilgamesh had eyes that could see through the future. With the power of Erlang Shen and Gabriel, she didn't have to do anything to get the recognition of King Gilgamesh.
"Next, are you going to defeat the Warcraft Goddess of the North?" Merlin suddenly asked.
"That's right, let's rest for a while and then we'll set off." Fujimaru Ritsuka said without thinking.
After receiving a positive answer from Fujimaru Ritsuka, Merlin's expression became serious and he said, "Perhaps you don't know that the Three Goddesses Alliance is not actually the real threat to Uruk. The real threat is the god Tiamat."
"Tiamat?" Siduri, who was leading the way, turned around and asked in surprise, "Isn't the goddess of warcraft the goddess Tiamat?"
"No, that guy is an imposter. Her real name is Gorgon, which comes from the Greek goddess."
Merlin shook his head and told the truth that had been hidden until now.
"One of the seven evils of humanity that the Magic King awakened in this land, the Beast II that holds the principle of 'return', the Mother of Origin Tiamat, is sleeping in this singularity."
"Beast? I seem to have heard of this term, the beast of 666?" Li Erlang interrupted.
If he remembered correctly, the beast 666 that had been killed by the group leader belonged to the category of beasts.
"The Beast of 666? Have you seen the other beast? Yes, it and Tiamat are both beasts." Merlin looked at Li Erlang in surprise and nodded.
"...Um, Mr. Merlin. What is the so-called human evil? What are the other seven?" Mashu asked in confusion as she listened to Li Jilang and Merlin talking about a topic she didn't understand.
"Don't you know yet? The so-called human evil, as the literal meaning, is the stain of mankind, referring to the various disasters that destroy mankind. The more humans develop, the stronger they will become, just like cancer that eats away at the body from the inside of society. In other words, it is the silt that has settled in human history." Merlin explained.
"That's enough. If you want to know more, someone will explain it at the appropriate time."
Merlin didn't say much about the topic of beasts. He just said a few words, then skipped over the nature of the beasts and continued with the previous topic.
"If you intend to resolve the issue once and for all, after defeating the Three Goddesses, you will also have to take responsibility for defeating the goddess Tiamat. If you intend to stop at the right time, defeating the Three Goddesses will be the end, and I will let the goddess Tiamat continue to sleep."
Faced with the two choices given by Merlin, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not respond immediately, but cast a questioning look at Li Jilang.
"I told you, right? When the three of us, the king, the group leader, and Gabriel, join forces, there is no enemy we cannot deal with." Li Erlang said confidently.
"Don't be so confident. I know you are strong, but the Beasts are not weak either, and each of them has immortality, and Tiamat is the strongest among them."
Merlin stretched out his finger and shook it, denying Li Erlang's confidence.
"Because she is the mother of all existing life, our very existence proves her existence, so she will not be destroyed. Although it is a paradox, as long as there are still living things on earth, Tiamat will not die. She is the daughter of the origin and the end. Perhaps by making her the last dead being on earth, she can accept the general laws of physics."
"In other words, unless all humans die, Tiamat will not die?" Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned in distress. This is a paradox! Defeating Tiamat is to save the world, but in order to defeat Tiamat, humans must be destroyed first. The final result is completely inconsistent with the goal.
"Not necessarily. I can try to put Tiamat into another dimension, and then have Gabriel blow the horn of destruction to defeat Tiamat." Li Erlang thought for a while and said.
"It sounds like a good idea, but are you sure you can win? You know, if you fail, human history will be destroyed." Merlin nodded without comment, then asked Li Erlang.
"If it were in the past, I might not have succeeded. But now it's different. I have the confidence that I won't fail."
Li Erlang raised his right hand, and a scroll slipped out from his wide sleeves and fell into his hand.
"The Mountain and River Map is a magic weapon from the Goddess Nuwa. It is a world in itself and can even contain an entire planet."
"Ah? That's too exaggerated?" Roman shouted in surprise.
"Isn't Gabriel's horn of doom also exaggerated?" Li Erlang asked back.
"That's true. But no matter how I think about it, it seems a little unreal. Real anti-star artifacts appear one after another. Are the Catholic and Chinese pantheons so terrifying?" Roman couldn't help but sigh. Leonardo da Vinci, Merlin and others seemed to feel the same way.
Siduri, who led the way, was even more stunned. First, the immortal god Tiamat, and then the treasure that contained the stars. No matter how you listen to it, it sounds like a child's wild fantasy. However, the person recognized by King Gilgamesh could never be a liar who speaks nonsense.
After bringing Fujimaru Ritsuka and his group to the temporary dormitory, Siduri hurried back to the temple and told Gilgamesh what she had heard along the way.
"Is that so? It sounds like a joke, but since Merlin doesn't question it, it must be true."
After listening to Siduri's story, Gilgamesh nodded calmly, but the shock in his eyes could not be completely concealed.
“Although it is said that in the future tens of millions of years from now, after humans leave this planet, they will be able to develop weapons more powerful than the power of God, I never expected that in the old times, there were already gods with such great power… I really underestimated the gods.”
"Oh!"
Before he could finish his words, the ceiling of the throne room was destroyed, and Ishtar, driving the Sky Ship Maana, rushed in from outside.
"What? Are you confessing? If you confess to this goddess now, I may consider forgiving your usual rudeness to me."
Ishtar, who only listened halfway, automatically interpreted Gilgamesh's words as something favorable to herself, and shouted them out loud, looking very proud.
"Lady Ishtar? It's an emergency! Priests, quickly prepare for the special prayer! Due to the urgency of the situation, the suppression spell against the city god is allowed!"
Siduri was frightened by Ishtar's sudden break-in to the temple, but she quickly calmed down and directed the priests in the temple to cast a special spell on Ishtar.
"Eh? What are you doing! Siduri? Why do you have this attitude?" Ishtar said indignantly after hearing Siduri's command.
"You should have some self-awareness, right? Idiot! You are a wanton goddess who still can't find an ideal job. What else do you want besides this kind of treatment?"
"...Ahem. King, please restrain yourself from insulting the goddess Ishtar."
Siduri coughed twice and tried to dissuade Gilgamesh seriously.
"Lady Ishtar is the city god of Uruk. Even the king cannot blame her rashly. If you openly criticize Lady Ishtar here, the Miko will lose face..."
"That's right, I'm from Uruk..." Ishtar was responding to Siduri's advice when she suddenly felt something was wrong.
"It has come to the point where we have to cast a suppression spell as soon as it appears. Do we still need to care about those nonsense things? Can't you have a little self-awareness, you idiot?"
Before Ishtar could figure out what was wrong, her attention was attracted by Gilgamesh's ridicule, and she was ready to go to war with Gilgamesh.
Chapter 307 Ishtar's Little Thoughts
Ishtar and Gilgamesh did not fight after all.
"Forget it. I'm not interested in arguing with you."
When the fight was about to start, Ishtar seemed to remember something, waved at Gilgamesh with disgust, then turned around and spoke to Siduri.
"Siduri, take me to my chambers. Feel honored, I will be staying in Uruk for the time being."
"...?"
Siduri immediately showed a look of surprise, as if she had not expected Ishtar to stay in Uruk. After all, the relationship between this god and this king was too bad. If they stayed in Uruk at the same time, wouldn't they fight from morning to night?
The priests around also heard Ishtar's order and subconsciously stopped chanting, interrupting the suppression spell against Ishtar.
"Oh? You mean, you want to join my army?" Gilgamesh touched his chin, leaning forward slightly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Who said I want to join your army? I just randomly picked one from several different dormitories to live in." Ishtar crossed her arms and retorted dissatisfiedly.
"Huh? If that's the case, you can get out now, because I have sealed your bedroom."
Gilgamesh drove Ishtar away with a "hush, hush" sound and waved his hand with disgust, trying to get Ishtar to go away.
"Ah?! What are you talking about! Ianna originally belonged to me! Why did you seize it without my permission?!" Ishtar angrily accused Gilgamesh, and magic power began to gather on the Sky Ship Maanna.
“You two, please stop here. No matter what the reason is, the city god can come here. As the person in charge of sacrifice, there is no higher honor than this.” Siduri hurried forward, trying to stop the confrontation between the two.
Ishtar was the goddess she believed in, and Gilgamesh was the king she served. No matter what, she did not want to see the two of them in a hostile relationship.
It was not easy for the two of them to be in the same room together, and there were signs of peace, so she naturally had to do her best to ease the relationship between them.
"Well... since it's Siduri, I can't complain... After all, she is the most pious and model priest in Uruk..." Ishtar nodded proudly and said pretentiously, taking advantage of the step given by Siduri to go down the slope.
However, Gilgamesh was not ready to let Ishtar down.
"Sidulli, you step back first."
Gilgamesh looked at Siduri and gave a serious order.
"Ok?"
Siduri raised her head and looked at Gilgamesh in confusion. Since the goddess Ishtar had already shown weakness, why bother to argue about it?
"Step aside. I have something to ask her."
Gilgamesh said again.
"……Yes."
Siduri did not let Gilgamesh say it for the third time. Although she was confused, she still retreated with the clay tablet in her arms.
After Siduri left, Gilgamesh stood up from the throne, stretched out his right hand, took out the seal of divine authority from the void beside him, stared at Ishtar coldly, and said, "You got into trouble outside and wanted to run back to Uruk to avoid disaster. What qualifications do you have to blame me for sealing your bedroom?"
"Eh? What are you talking about?"
