My mother's love song

Ishtar looked away from the jewel rain with a painful expression and swallowed.

"Do you think I will forgive your insults and slanders against me just because of your tribute?

I don’t know where you heard that I like gemstones… But I am a goddess with self-respect.

The education I received since childhood does not support me to do such a thing. You have the wrong person."

Snapped.

Rhodes snapped his fingers again.

This time, four large imaginary acupoints appeared in the void at the same time.

The dazzling gems fell to the ground like a summer rainstorm, playing the music of desire.

"You're really good at reading people!"

Ishtar descended from the sky and threw Rod to the ground with a smile on her face.

……

Golden gems were piled up into mountains, and the goddess Ishtar was singing.

In the center of the temple, Rhodes sat on a hill-like gem, while Ishtar below him buried her face in the gem with a look of happiness.

Rhodes had just learned from casual conversation that he had arrived at the seventh singularity a little earlier than scheduled, so he expressed his wish to continue living in this temple.

"If you want me to take you in in this temple, it's not impossible. But there is a condition."

Ishtar raised her face from the shining gem and spoke seriously.

"What conditions?"

Tsk... Do you want me to kiss the back of her feet?

Rhodes' eyes fell on the goddess' beautiful feet that looked like a work of art.

He gritted his teeth with a tragic look on his face: There is no other way... This is all to rescue Tiamat, it is a necessary sacrifice!

"what are you thinking about?"

Ishtar raised her head and looked at Rhodes with a serious expression that brooked no room for rebuttal.

"From now on, you have to call me mother."

……

……

……

The Ziggurat of Uruk.

Magician Meli stood in front of the temple and explained to Gilgamesh the strange vision she had noticed last night.

"I found a foreign guest from the future on the outskirts of Uruk."

The Hero King frowned.

"Are you saying that the guys from Chaldea arrived earlier than expected?"

"No, that's not from Chaldea." Merry shook her head.

"Really? If that person intends to enter Uruk, then protect him in the city."

Gilgamesh immediately lost interest in Meli's topic.

After a pause, he added arrogantly.

"Also, don't make a mistake, Meili. I never had any expectations of the people of Chaldea again."

Meili: “…………”

"What's wrong, Magician Mary?" Siduri asked.

"Do not……"

The female magician put her slender fingers on her chin and asked hesitantly, "Are you really not interested in that foreign guest?"

"Ya gamashi!"

Gilgamesh glared at her in displeasure.

"I'm sorry, Magician Meili." Siduri bowed her head and apologized, "You also know that the king does not like to pin his hopes of defending the city on outsiders."

"...Okay, I understand. Since the king has said so, I will not say anything more."

Meili pursed her cherry-colored lips to hide the smile at the corners of her mouth.

Ahhhhh…

I thought the boy who used the Heaven's Chain [Enkidu] would be King Gilgamesh's favorite topic.

"Since the king is not interested, I will not say anything more."

But it doesn't matter. Let me check it before Wang contacts him.

Meili was full of curiosity about Rhodes.

If she had to ask why, it was because Mary had never seen anyone like Rhode, who exuded the scent of a witch from body to soul.

Although she had heard that Morgan was extremely promiscuous and had affairs with men ranging from Camelot to Tintagel, Mary had always been skeptical of the rumor.

This was also the first time that Mary smelled Morgan's scent on a man.

Hehehe...Chains of Heaven and the Afterscent of the Witch.

Young man who came from 4000 years later, who are you?

"..."

Gilgamesh suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.

"Meli, is there something else you are hiding from me?"

"how come?"

The flower girl covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised and said, "I have been working so hard for this country. Do you think I have any intention of being disloyal? Wuwuwuwuwu (>_<>

"Well. Alright, alright. It's ok for me to acknowledge your loyalty, right?"

"Hmm, Hmm! Your Majesty is wise!"

Meili said with a smile.

"In that case... then I will set off to the fir forest area to carry out the mission of finding the Destiny Tablet."

"Got it! Go ahead, Magician Mellie."

Gilgamesh waved his hand in surrender and ordered Meli to leave.

That afternoon, at the gate of Uruk.

A majestic warrior stood at the foot of the city gate, inspecting the huge convoy of supplies passing through the city gate.

His standing posture was flawless, and at first glance he was obviously a warrior who had made great military achievements.

However, the heavy oriental-style armor cannot hide her charming feminine figure and fair skin.

On that stunning face full of classical beauty, the scarlet eyes and sharp angles of the demon clan spoke of her unusual bloodline.

This woman is none other than Archer, one of the seven riders summoned by King Gilgamesh. Her real name is Tomoe Gozen.

Not only is she praised by later generations for her outstanding martial arts skills, but Tomoe Gozen is also a hybrid of human and demon, and was born with arm strength that is enough to twist off a human head with bare hands.

There is actually a reason why a powerful warrior like her has not been assigned to the North Wall but has remained in the city of Uruk.

Due to her experiences in her previous life, she and Rider Ushiwakamaru, who was also summoned by the Uruk Great Cup, are very at odds with each other.

Coupled with the demon blood in her body, Tomoe Gozen was unable to work with Ushiwakamaru, and finally had to stay in Uruk to be responsible for the defense of the city.

Tomoe Gozen has always felt deeply guilty about the fact that he accepted the summons but was unable to fight on the front lines, and believed that he was holding everyone back.

So Tomoe Gozen was particularly pleased when Gilgamesh ordered her to be sent to the city of Nippur, which was deeper into enemy territory than the northern wall.

"Master Archer, please be careful along the way."

The person who came to see the warriors off on behalf of the king who was overwhelmed with work was the chief priestess Siduri, who bowed slightly to Tomoe Gozen.

"Thank you, Her Excellency Siduri."

“Please tell the king that I will definitely establish a higher Feat of Arms than Rider.”

Tomoe Gozen clenched his fists and spoke heroically.

Siduri smiled bitterly and said, "Okay. But please don't push yourself too hard.

The king once said that the war with the Warcraft Goddess would be a harsh and protracted war.

So please make sure you are safe first. If Uruk loses you now, it will be very disadvantageous to the future war situation."

"……Um."

Tomoe Gozen looked at the head priestess with a bit of confusion: "Did the king ask you to convey this to me?"

Siduri shook her head and said.

"No, these are the words that the magician asked me to convey to you."

"Ms. Meili...? I see. Don't worry, Tomoe will keep it in mind."

Leaving these words behind, Tomoe Gozen led the supply convoy out of Uruk.

Chapter 143 The Sea Mother Who Created a Human Being in a Dream

Turbulence whistled past my ears, and the unchanging ochre-colored wilderness scenery receded from my sight.

Rhodes flew over the Mesopotamian plains on a God-era spaceship.

Sitting on the Tianzhou, he crossed his legs and put his hands behind his head, looking very relaxed and at ease.

The giant bow that Ishtar mounts, and the spaceship of the Age of Gods [Skyship Maana].

It is not only the ship of gods that roams the Mesopotamian world, but also an interstellar transfer gate connecting the Earth and Venus.

Generally speaking, this is a mount that only the goddess of heaven can ride.

Without Ishtar's permission, it cannot be controlled even if the riding level is EX.

After drinking the goddess' milk, Rhodes seemed to have gained some of the power of Venus and became able to drive Mayanna.

The above explanation comes from Ishtar, the person involved, whose face was flushed and she was hesitant.

"Bribing Ishtar was indeed the right choice."

After all, it is a spaceship from the Age of Gods, and the speed of Tianzhou far exceeds the speed of Plague Riding the Wind.

The experience of flying so fast and freely was very new to Rhodes, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Okay, we've already seen our destination."

In front of him, a bright ocean bathed in the sun came into Rhodes' sight.

The Persian Gulf, the mouth of the Indian Ocean

Mother, the sleeping place of Tiamat.

Gazing at the ocean that was getting closer and closer, the first thing that came to Rhode's mind was not to marvel at the magnificence and beauty of the prehistoric scenery, nor was he excited about seeing his mother soon.

As if he had entered sage mode, he suddenly remembered the origin of life.

The first life on Earth was not born on land, or even in oxygen.

But from the ocean.

As early as three to four billion years ago, boiling sulfides in deep-sea volcanic vents provided an environment for anaerobic organisms to survive.

The ocean is the mother of every life on earth.

Human beings were also born in the ocean.

For human beings, the ocean is the original paradise.

“…Ma Anna!”

Rhodes shouted, and the Tianzhou adjusted its direction and rushed into the calm sea at an oblique angle.
