Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Then he leaned over and whispered in Ishtar's ear: "I originally wanted to bring you, the guardian god of Uruk, to Gilgamesh as a gift. However, for Mashu's sake, I will let you go this time. Don't be so reckless next time."

Hearing Xia Yuan's devilish whisper, Ishtar felt her whole body tremble and her face immediately turned into panic.

If she was really sent to Gilgamesh as a gift by this guy, she couldn't even imagine the scene.

Although with Siduri around, that Jinpika couldn't do anything to her, but her face and dignity were completely gone.

She even imagined how Gilgamesh would mock her, and then carved his miserable appearance on a clay tablet overnight, and the next day hung it throughout Uruk for display for the rest of her life.

By then, she, Ishtar, the greatest mistress of the sky, will soon become a complete laughing stock among the gods.

If that really happens, she might as well commit suicide!!

"Hey, no! Please don't do this just for me!! I was wrong, I don't want the treasure anymore."

Ishtar spit out the handkerchief from her mouth and cried out with a tearful expression.

"I was wrong, please let me go! Please don't bring me to Gilgamesh! I've given you all my treasures, it's okay to give them to you!!"

"..."

At this point, are you still thinking about your broken treasure?

Seeing Ishtar start to cry loudly in front of him and lose control of her emotions, Xia Yuan couldn't help but sigh, then put his hand on her head and rubbed it gently, and whispered to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I won't send you to Gilgamesh."

"Eh? Really?!"

After hearing Xia Yuan's words, Ishtar, who was originally crying, stopped crying instantly, raised her head and looked at him with surprise.

This reversal of scene shocked the people around.

You can change your face when you say you will change your face, and you can stop crying when you say you will not cry.

Is this the goddess? She has such a strong ability to control her emotions.

It's just that she is a little different from the goddess in my impression. She seems a little unreliable.

"Really, really, you should get up first."

Xia Yuan nodded and pulled up Ishtar, who was kneeling on the ground.

After receiving Xia Yuan's assurance, Ishtar immediately jumped up from the ground.

After the not-so-good experience just now, he now had some new ideas about Xia Yuan in front of him.

Although he was a shameful thief who stole her treasure, Ishtar's opinion of him changed slightly because he did not do anything strange to her when she was unable to resist.

After all, in her opinion, all life on the entire Mesopotamian plain, including humans and gods, should be fascinated by her.

But she was so busy being narcissistic that she didn't reflect on the possibility that Xia Yuan didn't take her treasure at all.

The released Ishtar did not leave immediately, but turned to look at Xia Yuan. Although she was still a little scared, she still expressed her request hesitantly.

"That... mortal, no, it should be a hero. Can you return my treasure to me? That thing is a gift from the god Anu. It is really important to me..."

Without waiting for Ishtar to finish her words, Xia Yuan was too lazy to continue explaining to her this time.

He decisively took out the Holy Grail that Smoke Mirror had snatched from Kingo from his pocket, and threw it into Ishtar's hands, asking her to open her eyes and see carefully.

What exactly is the so-called huge source of magic power? He also wanted to make her realize that he had not stolen the Bull of Heaven, Gugalana.

"I repeat for the last time that I did not take your treasure. The source of the huge magical power you felt from me should be this Holy Grail."

"..."

Hearing this, Ishtar looked with some surprise at the glittering golden holy grail in her hand, and at Xia Yuan who was staring at her expressionlessly.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence, and the two didn't know what to say for a moment.

In short, the situation became very awkward.

With such a close contact, Ishtar has realized that the huge source of magic power she felt before seems to be the golden cup in her hand, which means...

She really found Xia Yuan for some unknown reason, and then stubbornly believed that Xia Yuan had hidden her treasure. Not only did it turn out to be a misunderstanding, but she was subdued by him in the end. Could it be that she had caused all these injustices?

In just a few seconds, Ishtar felt that her face was completely lost.

She didn't even feel any interest in the beautiful holy grail sparkling in her hand, and quickly stuffed it back into Xia Yuan's hands, her face full of shame and anger.

As a Venus goddess, she couldn't even recognize her own treasure. She even took the initiative to step forward and let others teach her a lesson...

How could it not have any impact? ! !

Fortunately, Xia Yuan didn't intend to continue to embarrass this guy with a not-so-smart brain.

Just like you wouldn't compete with Aqua.

After being stuck here for so long with this crazy woman, he finally had enough.

So after explaining the follow-up matters clearly, he called a few people around him and set off again to Uruk to meet Gilgamesh.

So they decisively ignored the Venus goddess who was looking extremely ashamed and angry in the field, and continued on the road to Uruk.

"Eh? Wait a moment!!"

Seeing Xia Yuan was about to leave, Ishtar behind him quickly reached out and grabbed Xia Yuan's sleeve.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xia Yuan, who was held by Ishtar, turned around and asked with an impatient expression.

At the same time, he wondered if this goddess was going to do something strange again. He also wondered if he had been too indulgent towards Ishtar, letting her off so easily without even getting punished.

If she wants to do something again, I need to teach her a lesson.

"Wait a minute, you... human! As the man who defeated this goddess and touched my perfect body, tell me your name!!"

Ishtar looked at Xia Yuan seriously and then spoke.

"Huh? Tell me your name... That's no problem."

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he also told Ishtar his name: "Xia Yuan, the master who came to repair the seventh singularity, and also a magician."

"Xia...Yuan...Yuan? What a strange name, but I remember it." Ishtar silently repeated Xia Yuan's name several times, thought for a while, and then said seriously.

"You, the goddess of heaven, have suffered such humiliation. Don't think that this matter will be easily resolved. One day, this goddess will make you kneel before me with all your heart, and then kiss the back of my feet and beg for forgiveness!!"

"..."

In response, Xia Yuan looked at Ishtar, who was starting to go crazy again, speechlessly, then raised his finger slightly.

"As you command, Master."

Karna stepped out again behind her. This scene frightened Ishtar so much that she didn't have time to say the following cruel words. She quickly jumped onto Maana and flew quickly into the sky.

"Just wait for me! Xia Yuan, this goddess will keep her word."

Ishtar sat on Maana, with her hands on her hips, and said arrogantly: "One day I will make you kneel before me, lick my instep willingly, and beg for my forgiveness."

"You're not done yet, are you?"

After being delayed for so long by this Aqua goddess, Xia Yuan, no matter how good his temper was, couldn't help but feel his veins bulging. He turned his head and nodded to Karna, then gave the order to attack.

Then Ishtar began a new round of fleeing in the sky above Mesopotamia, chased by a ball of fire.

As expected, the Mistress of Heaven is also very energetic today.

Chapter 189: Enki, the God of Water and Wisdom

"Oh, I didn't expect that little Ishtar would cry because of being bullied by mortals. This is really unheard of."

In the inner sea of ​​stars, in a pure land isolated from reality, in a magnificent palace hall, a handsome old man with a goatee was sitting on the steps of the palace without any image, and was smiling obscenely.

"However, fortunately, she didn't suffer any harm and received a proper lesson. This is good, as it will teach her a lesson after she sneaked out."

"Ah... stop lying, Enki."

"You were so worried when you saw Ishtar being subdued. If I hadn't stopped you, I think you would have followed Ishtar's example and used a mortal to possess her."

Hearing the somewhat obscene laughter of the god Enki, the Sumerian king of gods, Anu, who was sitting on the throne, sighed helplessly.

Although he was the king of gods and the father of many gods, possessing the highest status and prestige among the gods, he still had no good solution for Ishtar, his beloved but extremely willful daughter.

Because she was favored by the gods, Ishtar's behavior became more and more spoiled.

This time she was so bold that she even dared to ignore her orders, responded to the believers' call privately, possessed a girl in the underworld, and even refused to come back for a long time.

Even the other major gods of Sumer would not dare to do such a thing privately. But Ishtar actually did it.

It's all Enji and Ningsun's fault for doting on her too much...

Thinking of this, the god Anu looked at Enki on the steps with a somewhat blaming look.

He never thought that he was responsible for Ishtar being spoiled to this extent.

"Yes, yes, Father God, and Grandpa Enki, you just dote on Ishtar too much. If Father God hadn't stopped you just now, you would have definitely rushed out."

The blond boy sitting on the other side of the steps was also somewhat dissatisfied with Enki's behavior of pampering Ishtar, so he spoke to Enki in a blaming tone.

"This time, it was Ishtar who disobeyed the Father's orders and went out on her own to cause trouble. She even lost Gugalana. As a result, you are starting to feel sorry for her again. You even want to go down and play with her. If she continues like this, she will sooner or later cause trouble that will blow up the world."

Enki's old face suddenly turned red at the blond boy's words, and he was unable to refute it at all.

Among all the gods in Mesopotamia, he and Anu were the ones who favored Ishtar the most. It was because of this that Ishtar became more and more indulgent, to the point of openly disobeying the orders of Anu and even trying to cheat him of treasures.

But why only him? Isn't there Anu as well?

As the father god, he did not fulfill his duty to supervise and discipline Ishtar!

Thinking of this, the god Enki looked back at the god Anu on the throne. However, at this moment, Anu, who knew he was in the wrong, had disappeared from the throne behind him.

Only Enki was left here to be criticized by the gods.

Enki: "..."

You run really fast, Anu...

"Don't say that about Lord Enki, Shamash."

When the gods in the United Palace of Shamash began to criticize Enki, the god of water and wisdom.

At this moment, a gentle voice was suddenly heard, and then a goddess dressed in gorgeous and noble clothes walked into the hall.

"Finally saved."

Hearing this voice, Enji breathed a sigh of relief, and the criticism meeting was suspended.

The gods present saw her coming, nodded in greeting, and shouted in unison: "Ningsun Mother Goddess."

"Hello, everyone."

Goddess Ningsun smiled gently at the gods present, then returned to her seat.

As soon as she arrived, she heard Shamash and the other gods complaining about Lord Enki.

Although she also knew that what Shamash said was right, Lord Enki, like Anu, was indeed a little too indulgent to Ishtar. This also caused Ishtar to be a little abnormal, and it could even be said that she did not look like a goddess at all.

But even so, they could not be so disrespectful to Lord Enki, so she scolded Shamash.

"I understand, Mother Goddess."

Unlike Enki, the most humble god, Shamash was very respectful and awed towards the goddess Ninsun.

Faced with the reprimand from Goddess Ningsun, he did not make any excuses, but just lowered his head and accepted it humbly, then began to apologize to God Enki.

However, there are some things he is still very curious about.

Then Shamash respectfully called out to Enki, "Master Enki."

"What's the matter? Shamash. Is there anything else you want to ask me?"

"That's right." Shamash nodded.

"Lord Enki, you had predicted this before. You said that Mother Tiamat would definitely be resurrected, right?"

"Yes, the resurrection of the goddess Tiamat is destined, and this is a fact that we cannot change."

Enji nodded and answered very affirmatively.

Unlike Gilgamesh's omniscient star, as the god of wisdom in Sumerian mythology, he possesses the secret treasure [Secret] that many gods envy, because [Secret] his eyes can see a more distant and even more comprehensive future than the omniscient star.

Therefore, he often gives appropriate prophecies to the gods at critical moments.

In his eyes, the scene of Tiamat's appearance in the future is unforgettable. No matter how he looks at it, the god Tiamat will be resurrected and Uruk will fall into destruction.

In fact, a long time ago, he also tried to learn from Ishtar's behavior, select a suitable body, and personally go to the underworld to help the humans in Mesopotamia to prevent the disaster from coming.
