Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician
Page 205
However, that future would only be worse...
If the gods who have bid farewell to mankind return to that land again, the future of human history will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the future of this time and space will be completely driven into an invisible darkness.
Finally, it disappeared without a trace from his sight.
Therefore, Enki could never intervene personally.
This time, the mere thought of the Ishtar sisters' descent into the underworld made him tremble with fear. He was worried that their disorderly behavior would completely destroy the human history of this time and space.
It was precisely because of his prophecy that the god Anu strongly demanded that no god should easily go down to the mortal world, and in the shortest possible time after the Ishtar sisters left, he used divine power to completely block their connection with reality.
"But can these humans alone really defeat the Mother Goddess Tiamat?" Shamash asked seriously.
Like Enki, who loves humans, he is the god closest to humans, and also the god who loves Gilgamesh the most.
He often speaks well of Gilgamesh in front of the gods.
The last time Gilgamesh and Enkidu angered the gods, they were not punished because of his plea.
He was genuinely worried about the impending destruction of Uruk.
"do not know……"
In response to Shamash's question, Enki, the god of wisdom, shook his head very frankly.
It is true that he possesses the secret to see the future.
But the future is by no means unchanging as observed by the clairvoyant, not to mention that this world involves the Mother Goddess of Creation Tiamat and an alien magician.
At present, Uruk, the future of Mesopotamia, was completely lost in his eyes.
"Then we really can't..."
Shamash wanted to say something else, but Enki just shook his head slightly, and his attitude was obviously very clear.
He looked at Shamash and answered seriously, "Perhaps it was because of Ishtar's recklessness. The future of the world this time has been somewhat different from what I predicted. At least I have never seen this magician appear in my sight."
"A magician?"
Shamash was surprised when he heard this word.
"Well, the young man who just taught little Ishtar a lesson is the magician. He is a very powerful child, in no way inferior to the gods, and I like him very much. If I can't really go down, I must meet him in person and have a good chat."
"Ahem... that's a bit off topic."
Enki glanced at Shamash calmly and continued, "The direction of the world has changed. We don't know whether it is heading for a better or a worse direction. But we can't do anything unnecessary. If we act rashly, the outcome will only get worse and worse."
"But Ishtar, didn't she..."
"They are different. Since they were able to successfully slip out of the barrier of the god Anu without being discovered, it means that they are also part of the future of this time and space. What has happened cannot be changed, so let them go. Although Ishtar has always been spoiled and arrogant, I believe that she can still make the right choice in this situation."
After answering Shamash's question, Enki turned his gaze to Xia Yuan who was heading towards Uruk below, and Ishtar who was running away in panic after being chased by Karna.
He raised his hand and touched his beard, muttering to himself.
"Strange souls, an invisible future... and this unique integration, I wonder what kind of sparks will be created when you meet little Ishtar?"
"Maybe you, like Gilgamesh, are the hope of this singularity. Who knows?"
Shamash did not believe in the words of the god Enki at all.
In his opinion, it would be more feasible to hope that the Mother Goddess would oversleep and not wake up than to expect Ishtar to have a change of heart and do something serious.
"Lord Enki, are you sure Ishtar will really..."
Not only Shamash himself, but the other gods also questioned Ishtar's actions.
After all, this is a serious matter, and they have to make sure that nothing goes wrong.
"Ahem... Actually, I can't guarantee it..."
Facing the questioning looks from the gods, God Enki coughed a few times awkwardly, then lowered his head and muttered softly.
"To be on the safe side, I'd better wait until night time and give little Ishtar a dream to remind her a little."
Well, thanks to my unremitting efforts during this period, I have paid back more than half of the bounty owed last month.
I have now controlled myself to the point where I can explode.
The plot is a little slow, so it could be sped up a bit.
I will update 10,000 words every day in the next three days to finish the chapters that I have been waiting for a long time.
So this time I will continue to offer an unlimited bounty.
The price is still the same as before.
Five days: 30 blades,
30 monthly tickets, one more update,
30 worth of rewards,
The price is still very affordable. If you are a reader with some money left, please support the diligent author.
Chapter 1: Uruk, the Last City of Humankind (12/)
After Karna drove away the annoying Venus goddess Ishtar on the plain, the group did not encounter any troubles on the subsequent journey.
Fujimaru Ritsuka also made a rare complaint: "I didn't even encounter a wyvern."
This made Xia Yuan and Mashu on the side laugh.
And with Merlin, who was most familiar with the roads of Uruk, as their guide, they quickly crossed the path leading to Uruk and arrived at the outer area of Uruk.
“So tall…”
Several people came to the outer city of Uruk, and when they looked up, they saw the majestic and beautiful gate of Uruk.
The blue lacquer glaze, the gems inlaid on it, and the praises galore, can truly be called a treasure of mankind.
It's really huge...
Even Xia Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when he saw the last human fortress in the seventh singularity.
The scale was so large that the integration and militarized management of the city-state was completed ahead of schedule.
As expected, it was a country that was personally organized and ruled by the Hero King Gilgamesh. It was many times stronger than the Brave King that he had obtained cheaply from the city of Ur.
"Senior, is this Uruk?"
“It’s really spectacular…”
"Yes, this is Uruk, the country ruled by Gilgamesh. It is also the only place in Mesopotamia where human life and civilization still exist."
Hearing the sighs of Ritsuka and Mashu, Merlin, who was serving as their guide, patted his chest and came out to explain to them this last survival fortress for mankind.
"Stupid Merlin, should we go in directly through the main gate? There are so many people here..."
When Merlin led the Chaldeans to stay at the door and began to talk big, Anna, who didn't like lively scenes in the team, suddenly spoke.
There were too many pedestrians here, and when people passing by saw her, they would look at her with a strange look similar to pity, which made Anna very uncomfortable.
"Huh? Anna is in a hurry to go into the city?" Merlin asked with a surprised expression.
"Um...should we go straight in through the main door?"
"It seems like a good idea. Although there are many soldiers guarding this place, the people coming and going also show that Uruk does not restrict residents from entering and leaving. In this way, we can easily sneak in."
"It just so happens that Merlin, that idiot, is the best at taking advantage of troubled waters. Let him cast an illusion and then sneak in with brazenness."
Before Merlin could answer, the communication device on Ritsuka Fujimaru's body made a sound, and Dr. Roman, who was far away in Chaldea, made a reasonable suggestion.
"Haha... Although Romani's suggestion is very pertinent, there is no need to go through so much trouble this time. After all, I am a popular figure around Gilgamesh, and even more so the flower magician Merlin, who is loved by everyone. I usually carry things like the pass with me."
This time, Merlin rarely refuted the suggestion made by Dr. Roman. He just smiled slightly, then reached into his pocket and took out a brown stone symbol containing special magic power.
This is to make it easier for these servants to do their work. The stone talisman specially made by Gilgamesh has considerable privileges in Urukli.
"Let's go, and let Brother Merlin show you the way."
After saying this, Merlin, holding the stone talisman, led everyone straight to the gate of Uruk.
When the soldiers at the gate saw the stone talisman given by Gilgamesh, they nodded slightly in greeting and made way.
They soon arrived at the inner gate of Uruk. As usual, the soldier in charge of the gate took the stone talisman from Merlin, looked at it for a while, and then nodded slightly.
"Yes, it is indeed the King's Stone Talisman. Welcome back, warrior of Uruk. Are the people behind you the refugees you brought back? It's really pitiful that even such young and beautiful girls have begun to wander around?"
After confirming the authenticity of the stone talisman, the soldier in charge of guarding the gate returned the stone talisman to Merlin.
He looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, Anna and others behind him, and couldn't help but show sadness. He sighed slightly, and then kindly reminded: "But don't worry, everyone is welcome to the safest city for humans. This is Uruk, a country that will never fall, and everyone can live here in peace. From now on, we will become partners and work together for each other's survival."
"If you have just escaped here, I suggest that you go directly to the sacrificial tower when you enter the city. Chief Priest Siduri will arrange your identity and accommodation for you. Then you can stay in the hotel, have a good meal, take a hot bath, adjust for two days, and then truly join the kingdom of Uruk."
The soldier at the door was very talkative and thought Fujimaru Ritsuka was a refugee. He patiently showed them the right way.
"What an unexpected enthusiasm..."
Mashu was a little surprised to see the soldier still talking nonstop.
I didn't expect to see such enthusiastic ordinary people in such a chaotic singularity, even though they are not even servants...
"Hahaha, are you very enthusiastic? Of course I am. After all, besides being the gatekeeper of Uruk, I also have a daughter. It is natural for me to feel distressed when I see beautiful girls like you stranded in danger."
After receiving Mashu's praise, the gatekeeper scratched his head and couldn't help laughing, but...
When he saw Anna, who was standing at the end of the team, wearing a hood and never looking up, his expression immediately became serious.
"The one standing at the end of the line, please come over here."
"Um?!"
Although Anna's expression could not be seen, Xia Yuan beside her could already sense that her body had tensed up, and the pair of small hands holding the sickle were shaking uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Xia Yuan became serious. He grabbed Anna's tense arm and reminded her in her ear, "Control your emotions, Anna. His soul is pure and has no malice."
"Um……"
Anna, whose arm was held by Xia Yuan, showed a change of expression.
She was not used to being held by someone, and tried to break free, but the strength from Xia Yuan's arm prevented her from pulling her arm out.
The gatekeeper soon reached the end of the line.
He looked at Anna, whose expression was a little ugly, and couldn't help but sigh...
"It's okay, little girl. Now that you're here, don't be afraid. Just be a little happier. I just happen to have a gift for you."
As he spoke, the gatekeeper reached into his chest pocket, took out a piece of candy wrapped in burlap, and handed it to Anna.
"this is……"
Anna took the candy with a surprised expression.
"This is a candy my daughter gave me, but it's a little too sweet for me. You look young, probably about the same age as my daughter. So it's just right for me to give this to you. If you can help me get rid of this culprit that's giving me a headache, it would be a great help, hahahaha..."
After the gatekeeper handed the candy to Anna, he didn't say anything more and stood up and returned to his post.
He had said all that needed to be said, and he had fulfilled his duties as a doorman, so...
"Welcome to Uruk, fellow warriors and compatriots. Please rest assured, and then let's all contribute our strength to the survival and future of mankind!!"
"OK!!"
The guard's enthusiastic and high spirits also infected Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka, and they both shouted out very enthusiastically.
"Yes, we have to work together to overcome difficulties~"
"This is the only way humans can be called beautiful."
Seeing this, Merlin also smiled peacefully, and then said to Xia Yuan and the others: "Well, we have been delayed here for a long time. Everyone, please follow me in. I believe Gilgamesh must have been waiting impatiently in the tower."
"Uncle, goodbye."
"You must take care of yourself."
"Okay, okay, you guys should also pay attention to safety."
Just like that, under Merlin's urging, Mashu and Ritsuka said goodbye to the guard uncle.
Under the leadership of Merlin, several people actually entered the last city of mankind - Uruk.
Chapter 2: Meeting with Gilgamesh (12/)
The warm sun shines directly into this extraordinarily beautiful ancient city.
