Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

He was not frightened by Daha's miserable appearance. He just simply wanted to see the dinosaur that could do backflips, and then have a serious talk with Quetzalcoatl about how to deal with the city of Ur.

I wasn't scared at all.

Chapter 168: Saving Soldier Xia Yuan

Today, the Mesopotamian plain still has clear skies.

The sky as far as the eye can see is a clear blue, with white clouds floating quietly on the curtain of blue sky.

The sun shines brightly, and the golden sunlight falls on the land of the two rivers.

Another new day has come, and the people who are trying to survive on this land have begun a new round of struggle with fate.

In the distance, in the royal palace of Uruk.

The bustling crowd kept coming and going, starting the new day's reporting tasks.

On the throne of the divine tower, a mysterious man slowly opened his eyes, and the scarlet red pupils that symbolized the blood of God then filled his pupils.

"King, are you awake?"

Seeing Gilgamesh wake up, the chief priest standing under the throne showed a look of surprise. Just as he was about to report today's work, he saw Gilgamesh, who had just woken up, slowly raised his hand.

He looked down at the chief priest and asked, "How long have I slept? Siduri."

"Reporting to the king, you have slept for three hours from yesterday till now."

Three hours?... It's really a rare break...

"I see."

Gilgamesh nodded to Siduri with a slightly tired look on his face.

"Then, King, Uruk's job today is..."

Siduri was about to report today's arrangements to the king, but she saw Gilgamesh shaking his head and ordering, "Put your work aside, Siduri. Let those useless guys wait outside for a while. The king has other things to do now."

"Yes……"

Siduri lowered her head.

After saying this, Gilgamesh looked down at the unreliable white-haired magician below.

Then he asked in a deep voice: "Merlin, where did the powerful foreign aid you mentioned go? Why hasn't he arrived in Uruk in such a long time?"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"Ah... After such a long time, he should have come out by now. What happened?"

Merlin was also confused by Gilgamesh's question.

Although this time it was due to his negligence, he forgot to tell Xia Yuan not to teleport directly to the coordinates inside Uruk, which resulted in him being bounced away by the defensive barrier set up by Gilgamesh in Uruk the moment he landed.

He was even blasted into the monster lair of a certain leader.

By the time he discovered it with his clairvoyance, it was too late to stop it.

No matter how fast he ran, it was impossible for him to run from Uruk to the rain forest of Ur in one breath.

However, when he saw Xia Yuan easily cleaned up the monsters and did not stay there to fight Jin Gu, but ran into the rain forest, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only does the fake Enkidu possess all the features of the genuine Heaven's Chain, he also carries an excellent magic core, the Holy Grail.

Coupled with the harassment from those monsters, if a battle broke out between Xia Yuanzhen and Jingu in that place, it would be difficult for them to provide timely support.

But that rainforest is not a simple place. There is also a powerful god living there.

And because of the existence of that god, even he and Gilgamesh's clairvoyance could not see clearly what was going on inside.

But according to the information Assassion and Saber brought back from their last investigation.

Although the gods occupying that place are powerful, they are different from the leaders of those monsters.

They simply imprisoned humans in the city of Ur, without carrying out large-scale massacres or sacrifices.

With Xia Yuan's current strength, even if he was defeated, escaping should not be a problem. Why did he disappear after entering the rain forest? He never came out again.

Could it be that he was caught by that goddess? That's impossible...

Although I don't want to believe it, this is the most likely thing to happen right now.

After analyzing the situation, Merlin couldn't help but start thinking about the worst possible scenario, and then he offered to solve it.

"King Gilgamesh, my friend has entered the territory of Ur and may be in danger now, so please allow me to go there to support him."

"Oh? So you'll also offer to work overtime, Merlin."

Seeing Merlin volunteering, Gilgamesh couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He knew Merlin's character very well.

Although he has excellent abilities, he is essentially a lazy person who will do nothing but slack off at any time. Although his clairvoyance is also Ex-level, it can only see the present, and its limitations are too great.

Ever since he summoned Merlin to this era, the task he assigned to this good-for-nothing has not been completed yet.

I have been searching for the Destiny Tablet for months but still can't find it. What use do I have for you?!

If it weren't for the fact that Merlin was quite capable and his side was in need of manpower, he would have punished Merlin for dereliction of duty in the name of the King of Uruk.

But this guy actually asked to go out on his own initiative, which really surprised him.

It seems that this guy really values ​​that so-called friend. If that's the case...

Gilgamesh came up with an interesting idea in his mind.

He looked down at Merlin and scolded.

"Idiot, you haven't completed your mission yet, so why would you have the time to wander around the marginal areas of Ur City?"

"Honestly complete the task assigned to you by the king and retrieve the Destiny Tablet. Do you understand?"

“Huh…? I know that I was a bit negligent in not finding the Destiny Tablet, but if my friend doesn’t care…”

Merlin, who was scolded by Gilgamesh, wanted to make some explanation, but Gilgamesh ruthlessly grabbed a clay tablet beside him and threw it to him.

"You don't need to think too much about that. Since he is the helper you recommended, he must have some outstanding qualities. I will naturally pay attention to him."

"But for the mission of finding the Destiny Tablet, there is no suitable person in the entire Uruk except you who also possesses Ex-class clairvoyance. It just so happens that the offensive of the monsters has weakened recently. With Archer and Lancer's excellent command on the front line, there will be no problem in resisting the beast tide."

"So I plan to send Assassination and Rider to Ur to check the situation for you."

After thinking for a while, Gilgamesh came to a relatively satisfactory decision.

"Compared to you who cannot see the situation in the rain forest, Assassination, who has infiltrated Ur City once, is obviously more suitable for this operation. With the support of the highly mobile Rider, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Eh?"

Merlin blinked when he heard this, somewhat surprised by Gilgamesh's arrangement.

After all, sending two main servants to pick up Xia Yuan at the same time is a bit too extravagant no matter how you think about it... ?

"Hmph, don't be confused, Merlin. Don't forget that I also have a pair of good eyes."

Seeing Merlin's confusion, Gilgamesh pointed to his scarlet eyes and explained simply: "Although I am not in the same time and space, I can still get a glimpse of that interesting war."

"It just so happens that Assassion feels deeply guilty because he and Saber worked together last time to sneak into Ur City to gather intelligence, but Saber died on the way back. Therefore, I decided to let him go to that place again to carry out the mission. I believe he will definitely not refuse."

Hearing Gilgamesh mention Assassination and Saber, Merlin couldn't help but ask: "Oh? Is that Eastern warrior still feeling guilty for not being able to protect that young Christian saint?"

"Yes."

Gilgamesh nodded and said helplessly: "Although he has successfully completed the mission. But since he came back from that mission, he has been clamoring to go back and fight the leopard man to the death. If it weren't for Archer and Rider suppressing him, he would have gone back alone to kill himself."

"Really? These Eastern warriors are all troublemakers."

"After all, there are real gods in that area, and they have turned Ur City into a divine kingdom on earth. The fact that he was able to escape from the hands of the gods and bring back important information is already surprising enough."

"Yes, it is because I trust his ability that I let him take over this mission."

"But...if we let him go there again, will he cause trouble because he can't control his impulse?"

Merlin was understandably suspicious of the Eastern warrior of the Assassination class.

If the entire plan was delayed due to impulse, it would not only be Xia Yuan who would be in danger.

It is even possible that they were all wiped out in the city of Ur.

"Hmph, you don't have to worry about that. Assassion has already promised me that he will never act on impulse. I am willing to believe in that warrior's integrity and promise. And that weird Rider is from the same place as Assassion. If there are restrictions, I believe Assassion will not be unable to distinguish between priorities."

"I see. I understand..."

After listening to Gilgamesh's explanation, Merlin nodded slightly in approval.

In terms of knowing how to use people, he was far inferior to Gilgamesh. Moreover, the other party was the king, and he was just an assistant, so in this matter, he could only obey the arrangements of the most ancient king.

"Well, now that I've said all that, you should have no more concerns, right, Merlin?"

"If not, then get out of Uruk immediately and continue to look for the Destiny Tablet. I will take care of the rest."

"Do you have anything else you would like to add to this arrangement?"

"Ahahaha, no no."

Merlin felt a little embarrassed when he saw that his idea of ​​going out to look for Xia Yuan as an excuse to slack off was seen through by the other party, but he did not make any excuses.

If he didn't want to bear Gilgamesh's wrath right now, he could only smile bitterly and accept this mission.

But before taking action, he couldn't help but have many complaints in his heart about this king who liked to make trouble for others.

The Tablet of Destiny, The Tablet of Destiny…

Things like this can be thrown away at any time, and even thrown into a place where you can't see it.

Mesopotamia is so vast that even a clairvoyant cannot find it. Where on earth is he supposed to look for it?

He is really a king who knows how to torment others...

But now that things have come to this, he can only keep looking.

……

……

He walked towards the palace of Uruk in a daze, passing by the bustling crowd outside the palace gate.

Arriving at the outskirts of the temple, Merlin raised his head and looked at the scorching sun in the sky with a somewhat depressed expression.

Gilgamesh has given the order.

Let him arrange Assassion and Rider's action to Ur first, and then immediately get out of Uruk and go outside to look for the Tablet of Destiny.

And this time the other party also issued a death order: no return until the clay tablet of destiny is found.

Each one of them is really a hassle.

Compared with this king, he suddenly missed the days when he was a court magician in Britain.

Although little Al was in some trouble, at least he didn't have to work as hard as he does now.

And Yuan...

He looked in the direction of the rain forest and sighed deeply.

Where are you? If you come to help me, I won't have to work overtime like this...

He couldn't help but think.

Chapter 169 This is the awakening of mankind! (Additional update)

"Is this really a good idea? Using your death to inspire these humans to resist... I find it difficult to evaluate such a plan."

"I have already agreed to be your companion and signed a contract, but..."

"No, this is good, Quetzal. If we just blindly protect them, the people of Ur will not understand the reason and cost of this protection."

"What I want is not blind protection or indulgence, but to see them pick up their weapons again and continue to fight against this fate."

In response to Quetzal's confusion, Xia Yuan gently shook his head and said seriously: "We must make them understand that miracles will only occur when humans fight desperately."

"Does it only appear when humans are fighting desperately?"

Looking at Xia Yuan who was narrating seriously, a hint of appreciation flashed in Quetzal's eyes, and he kept recalling these interesting words.

That's right, she likes humans.

But she doesn't like all humans of this race. What she really likes are the real warriors among humans.
