I really didn't want to burn it.

Li Ang even had a name for the house in mind: "The Qin Embassy in Uruk".

Chaldea has an embassy, ​​and Great Qin must have one too!

As Li Ang walked to the alley entrance, he heard the noisy voices of several familiar children.

"These kids have so much energy," Li Ang remarked. "Hopefully they won't wake DD up."

Unfortunately, this is not possible.

Li Ang hadn't taken two steps when he saw DD walking over unhurriedly.

She looks like she's already up and is playing with some children.

"Master, you are back."

If it weren't for the respectful bow, DD would look more like a wife welcoming her husband home than a maid.

"I'm back. Here's breakfast."

Li Ang first handed the bread to DD, then tilted his head to look behind her.

Sure enough, a few kids were secretly hiding behind a house, tilting their heads and watching them with great interest.

"They really are a couple, aren't they?"

"It doesn't feel too similar, does it?"

"I don't think so either. I always feel like there's something missing between the older brother and older sister."

……

The kids watching the spectacle chattered excitedly.

"Cough cough!"

Li Ang coughed twice on purpose and looked at the kids with a "kind" gaze.

"No, I was discovered!"

The little devils scattered and fled like startled sparrows.

"Master...can't you be a little gentler?"

There was a hint of regret and resentment in DD's eyes.

Li Ang was completely unaware that he had his hands wrapped around the maid's slender waist from behind.

After getting started, Li Ang realized that he had only focused on developing the maid's legs, but in fact, the maid's other body parts were just as wonderful.

Sure enough, DD has more than just great legs.

Li Ang couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "My training plan is a great success!"

DD noticed the expression on Li Ang's face and gave a disdainful laugh.

"Are we supposed to stay here until lunchtime?"

"That's not necessary."

Although Li Ang said this, out of male instinct, he was somewhat reluctant to release her waist.

So Li Ang simply embraced the maid and walked step by step into the bungalow.

DD didn't mind; she took small bites of the baked flatbread that Li Ang had bought for her.

Hmm... perhaps calling what DD is eating bread would be more appropriate.

However, due to the materials and processing methods used, although the taste is okay, the texture is rather hard.

I should have brought you some soup.

Li Ang said regretfully.

"It's good enough that there's food here, where would we get soup?" DD smiled casually; she didn't really care what they ate.

Li Ang poured DD a cup of hot water, then continued to hug his little maid.

As he inhaled the scent of the maid's hair, he whispered in DD's ear, "I just saw Gilgamesh again. He told me that the high mountains northeast of Uruk haven't been explored for a long time. I suspect that what I'm looking for might be there."

"So, Master, you've already made up your mind?"

DD paused for a moment as he put the bread into his mouth.

In order to defeat Tiamat, Leon has decided to recreate the mythical battle in which Marduk killed Tiamat.

However, in order to meet the conditions for killing Tiamat, Leon needs to learn several specific abilities from the abilities of the Tomb System.

However, Li Ang, who hadn't seriously completed the mourning system tasks for a long time, had already run out of system points.

However, it wasn't in the nature of the mourning system to prevent the host from completing the game, so the mourning system "kindly" assigned Li Ang a task that would earn him a considerable amount of points.

"Master, are you sure it's there?"

DD was not surprised by Li Ang's decision, but she was a little worried about Li Ang's intelligence sources.

“Gilgamesh said that there used to be a temple of Ishtar in that place, so it’s more likely that the foolish goddess left something there.”

The system of mourning is not some evil spirit; its task is simply for Li Ang to subdue the Bull of Heaven.

Um...that's all.

When Li Ang saw the task pop-up, he almost tore the dialog box apart.

[There's no other way, host. The points in this system don't just fall from the sky. Currently, this is the only task that can meet your point requirements.]

Li Ang could only express his helplessness in the face of the system's response.

"Anyway, I've already made arrangements with Gilgamesh. The two of us will sneak out to catch a cow." Li Ang kissed DD's earlobe. "You stay here and wait for me."

"Owner……"

DD stared calmly at Li Ang.

Although she didn't speak, Li Ang already understood what the maid was thinking.

"No, you can't go."

The Bull of Heaven is not a cute garlic-shaped turtle; the very existence of that animal represents disaster.

“Master, I think I’ve already said that I will follow you anywhere.”

That was the oath DD made to Li Ang back in the Qin Dynasty.

Li Ang hadn't expected that DD would still remember this matter.

Chapter 208 Gilgamesh: Enkidu, let's talk this out, put down the chains.

“Master, you took Lady Chloris with you before, but you didn’t take me with you. This time, I will definitely follow you.”

DD explained his behavior in a calm and even tone, without any change in tone.

But Li Ang interpreted her words directly as, "If I say I'll go, I'll go. Why all this nonsense?"

"I see."

DD was also concerned about him, and although Li Ang felt it was a bit of a hassle, he no longer refused.

Moreover, Li Ang doubted whether his refusal would be effective, as DD's personality might lead him to follow directly.

So, unable to resist DD's insistence, Li Ang could only bring his little maid along, and the two of them quickly packed up and prepared to set off.

Before leaving, Li Ang made a point of saying goodbye to his neighbors.

These Uruk people were quite kind; they offered the most sincere blessings to Leon and DD, the young couple (as they thought).

A few of the kids who had gotten to know Li Ang well were a little reluctant to part with him, since Li Ang, as their older brother, not only played with them but also often gave them treats.

The little girl named Tali even hugged Li Ang's leg and started crying.

Unfortunately, no matter how reluctant the children were, they couldn't change the fact that Li Ang and his group had to leave.

After sharing the last of his snacks with the children, Li Ang and DD said goodbye to their neighbors whom they had spent the last few days with and mingled with the crowd as they headed toward the palace.

Unfortunately, the Chaldea group was still in Uruk, and Leon didn't want to run into Mash and the others.

It wasn't that Li Ang was afraid of those little girls, but rather that it would be quite troublesome if he were discovered.

If things go wrong, he could very well end up fighting with the Chaldea Servants.

In that case, Leon would have no choice but to leave Uruk.

In order to avoid such a thing from happening, Li Ang decisively chose to keep a low profile.

As for where Gilgamesh's palace is, that's no problem for Leon—it's the highest point in the entire city.

Uruk, as the capital, doesn't actually have an excessively large area.

If we were to make a comparison, it would be about one-third the size of Xianyang.

Li Ang and DD walked slowly and arrived at the palace before noon.

However, in the Age of Gods, it was already quite remarkable that humans could build such a large city.

The same applies to Gilgamesh's palace. Although it was not as large as the Qin Dynasty's palace, it was unparalleled in its time.

Most importantly, this palace was decorated with a large amount of gold and gemstones, making it far more luxurious than the Qin Dynasty palace.

However, the two palaces are similar in one respect: they are heavily guarded.

In reality, in Li Ang's eyes, these guards in Gilgamesh's palace were utterly useless except for communication and message delivery.

After all, they are just ordinary people, and they are of no use to gods.

However, the presence of these people caused Li Ang and DD considerable trouble.

"How should we contact that King? Should we just send someone to report to him?"

DD asked in a low voice.

Li Ang thought for a moment and said, "Gilgamesh said he would give us a signal, so let's wait."

If we rashly go to Gilgamesh, we'll likely be targeted by Siduri. Not only will we be unable to take Gilgamesh with us to catch the bull, but we might also end up being used as laborers by Siduri.

However, Li Ang and his companion didn't have to wait long.

Boom!Boom!

The sound of bells rang out from the palace, and judging from the frequency of the sound, the person striking the bells was very anxious.

Moreover, many guards were running around inside the palace, exchanging anxious messages.

Li Ang and DD exchanged a glance...

"Master, did you hear what they were saying?"

“Ah, I heard that.” Leon nodded. “They said Gilgamesh is dead.”

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Mesopotamia, the underworld.

"Um……?"

Gilgamesh slowly opened his eyes, looked at the dark and silent environment around him, and nodded slowly.

"Very good, it seems my plan has succeeded."

Gilgamesh laughed heartily in the empty underworld, his face full of smugness.

He knew that with his current workload, he simply didn't have time to go with Li Ang to catch cattle.

But ever since she secretly went to see Li Ang yesterday, Siduri has been keeping a close eye on Gilgamesh, not giving him any free time at all.

Previously, Gilgamesh had gone to see Leon under the guise of morning exercise.

Then Gilgamesh realized that someone had been following him all along.

He believed that if he continued talking with Li Ang without going back, or even walked out of the city gate with Li Ang, it would be a good opportunity.

Those who followed Gilgamesh would definitely report Siduri.

Then, our great High Priest will lead his men to drag Gilgamesh back to the palace to carry out his duties.

Gilgamesh could certainly raise objections and inform Siduri of the importance of the Bull of Heaven. However, given Gilgamesh's understanding of Siduri, even if she were incredibly important, she wouldn't let him leave; she would only send someone to investigate first.
