Anhaiduyana combined the content on the joint stone tablet and made some minor adaptations based on what happened in the temple.

The more she spoke, the more it seemed as if she had memorized the setting. Her tone became more sorrowful and her eyes more sincere.

"The king swore an oath at his coronation that while he was king, he would provide for all his subjects. He would feed the hungry, clothe the cold, rescue the wronged, and save the drowning. Therefore, to prevent the people from starving and freezing due to excessive offerings, the king did not hesitate to oppose the gods."

When people are hungry, he gives them food; when people are cold, he gives them clothes.

If someone is wronged, he will investigate the matter; if someone is in danger, he will rescue him.

"Wang, did he really say that?"

This is really hard to believe.

In this era when royal power and divine power jointly ruled the world and society was still in its primitive period, there was actually a man with such lofty morals that he swore such an oath on such a sacred occasion as his coronation under the watchful eyes of the gods.

Before this, when people praised kings, they praised their great power and the great things they accomplished that ordinary people could hardly do, rather than praising who was more moral.

Because morality is something that is difficult to appear in a person who is born different from ordinary people, destined to have unlimited power and strength, and can do almost whatever he wants.

Anhaiduyana did not answer the people's questions, but turned and walked into the temple.

She was afraid that if she was a step late, she would become the first person to die in public because of shame.

So embarrassing...

In the temple, Anhaiduyana covered her face, feeling uncomfortable for her fabricated words about Russell.

but......

From what she saw, Russell was calm and composed after becoming king, without any arrogance.

And, the image of being able to sympathize with subordinates and even fight against gods for this.

So......

It’s only a matter of time before Wang says these words, right?

In her heart, Anhaiduyana kept making excuses for herself.

"I didn't expect that Lugalbanda would be such a wise king?"

However, when Anhaiduana was still feeling ashamed, a sacred and complex sigh sounded in her ears.

She was startled and quickly stepped back to face the person who came.

Complex scarlet divine patterns were inlaid on the upper body of the visitor, forming a mysterious and unknown pattern.

As a professional priest and an Uruk, Anhaiduyana naturally recognized which god the patterns formed by these divine patterns represented.

According to legend, he was the one who created Uruk for future generations and was the most just one.

She quickly bowed her head and said respectfully, "I am deeply terrified that the Sun God has descended upon us."

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Wutu looked melancholy, still muttering what Anhaiduyana had just said.

"If they're hungry, I'll feed them; if they're cold, I'll clothe them... So even if it means fighting against God, I'm willing to do it? I knew that when he was created, he shouldn't have been exiled to the mortal world just because he didn't achieve his goal. This is the result, really..."

Wutu sighed.

The more An Haiduana listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

She seems...

Did Russell get into trouble?

Wutu ignored Anhaiduyana's complex emotions and continued, "The fact that Lugalbanda could say such things shows that he is not qualified to become the [Heavenly Wedge]."

"Respect..."

Anhaiduyana wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wutu.

The god of justice was feeling very complicated at this moment.

He was happy that Russell, with his own divine power flowing through him, could do such justice, but he was also angry that Russell had the audacity to speak out against the gods.

But he finally realized that they were the ones who gave up Lugalbanda first.

It was as if they had watched Enlil unleash the flood and abandoned the human beings who had originally had a close relationship with the gods.

In the end, Wutu just calmed down and said lightly.

"Priest, Lugalbanda will surely return to the mortal realm. When he does, you will serve as the eyes of the gods in Uruk, watching over him for them. In the future, I do not want... him to become an enemy."

Man and God are drifting further and further apart.

Lugalbanda now dares to say that he is willing to oppose God. If he becomes the king of men in the future, will he declare a complete separation from God?

Then the gods will surely bring down their wrath.

By then......

Wutu didn't think any further, and ignored Anhaiduyana who wanted to say something, and turned away with a heavy heart.

The relationship between priests and gods is a special one.

It is like believing that a servant is loyal and will not betray his master, that a child is obedient and will not disobey his parents, and that a minister is timid and will not dare to rebel against the king.

Wutu never thought that Anhaiduyana would refuse.

And Anhaiduyana just stood there in a daze.

By the way...

What is the Sky Wedge?

What's the matter with becoming an enemy?

An Haiduana felt her brain trembling, and a picture involuntarily emerged in her mind.

In the picture in her mind, Russell was looking at her in confusion, asking questions like "Why would I be an enemy of the gods?"

And she briefly explained the reason——

"It's okay, I helped you!"

This kind of thing will definitely make the king hate it!

21. I thought Ereshkigal was invincible

Do not......

This kind of thing may be more than just being disliked.

An Haiduyana just felt that her future was bleak.

No!

Although she was trying to restore Russell's reputation, if this made him too many enemies, and if those enemies turned out to be the gods...

Anhaiduyana felt that she would die of guilt.

I have to go out and see first whether these words have been spread in Russell's name.

If it gets out...

No, no, definitely not!

Anhaiduyana quickened her pace towards the outside of the temple.

It will definitely not get out in such a short time!

We have to go quickly and clarify this matter.

As for these words...

The sequel will be written in "The Epic of Lugalbanda". Anyway, she doesn't plan to publish this story.

Outside the temple.

The originally crowded crowd now only had a few people left.

The sparsely populated streets formed a sharp contrast with the crowded crowds just now.

Anhaiduyana felt even more uneasy.

She stopped a witch on duty outside and asked anxiously.

"Why is everyone gone all of a sudden?"

"It's all because of the king's words that you relayed!"

The witch said excitedly with reverence on her face.

"I have never seen such excitement among the people. They spread the news and praised the king's virtues."

"..."

An Haiduana was dumbfounded.

No, why are you like this...

Why didn’t you have this kind of enthusiasm and attitude in the things you said and notified before?

Why is it that only these few words are being spread around now?

However, Anhaiduyana is not a stupid person, she also understands.

Before this, speeches in front of the temple were all about relaying the gods' next requests for offerings, or requests assigned by the king, as well as sending people to build projects such as city walls and arranging tasks.

These wasteful and costly things naturally received a negative response from the public.

Even if you can delay it, you should delay it as much as possible. When you really can't delay it anymore, you should think about how to get away with it.

And now, what were those words that Anhaiduyana “reposted”?

There were no additional missions, no requests for plunder, and no dispatched projects.

They all promise to provide the people with various benefits and ensure that their lives are prosperous.

What are you waiting for if you don't tell others about this kind of thing?

Will it become invalid after it expires?

Thinking of this, Anhaiduyana's voice trembled as she gave instructions to the witch beside her.

"Actually, those words were said by me, not the king..."

"We all understand!"

The witch looked around cautiously, leaned over and whispered in Anhaiduana's ear.

"Everyone knows that such a declaration must not reach the ears of the gods, otherwise it will put the king in trouble. Please rest assured, we understand!"

Understand, what do you understand? !

An Haiduana's eyes went dark.

It’s over, it’s over…

Now, the king must hate me to death.

Although he had received the king's help, he did not think of repaying him and brought such a great disaster to the king.

Perhaps, they will even denounce me as a traitor?

Anhaiduana felt sad, and the magic power in her body burst out, which shocked the witch beside her.

"High Priest, what are you going to do?"

"Don't stop me! I want to go down to the underworld and personally apologize to the king!"

"Don't do this kind of thing!"

"Don't stop me! I'm a traitor, I've let the king down!"

"What on earth are you talking about?"

......

"A loyal minister!"

On the way to Ereshkigal's palace, Russell didn't say anything on the surface, but his smile became brighter as he talked with Ereshkigal.

In fact, I was calling the data displayed on the panel impossible.
