Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

The bustling streets and the crowds of people coming and going made Uruk seem like a paradise compared to the chaos outside.

Following Merlin through the prosperous Uruk, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashuran were very curious about everything in this city.

Roman also expressed his admiration for Uruk at this moment.

It is a standard city-state, with every human being performing his or her duties. They live actively in this last fortress of mankind and work hard for tomorrow's survival.

Although facing the beasts outside that could attack at any time, the residents of Uruk showed no fear or despair on their faces. Instead, everyone had a smile on their face.

They were not confused or self-destructive because of their inevitable death. Instead, they were all shining their own light in this city with an optimistic and positive attitude.

Seeing such a beautiful city-state and walking through the bustling streets, the mood of the Chaldeans couldn't help but improve.

The most lively one, Fujimaru Ritsuka, pulled Mashu and Anna through the stalls, curiously looking at everything in Uruk.

When the residents of Uruk saw outsiders like Fujimaru Ritsuka who suddenly appeared here, they naturally regarded them as their compatriots who had fled here.

Everyone in the city was as enthusiastic as the guard at the door.

While saying comforting words, he began to offer his care to these refugees who had come from afar.

Someone gave Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu some homemade dry food, and someone else began to ask if they wanted to live with her.

Her husband and son had just died in the Warcraft battle not long ago, and there happened to be many empty rooms in the house.

In short, everyone on the road expressed enough kindness to these strangers, and the emotions contained were very pure, without a trace of evil thoughts.

While Fujimaru Ritsuka was busy politely declining these enthusiastic people, ice-blue pupils appeared in Xia Yuan's eyes and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

Pure kindness and a pure soul were reflected in his eyes, which were now sparkling with extreme colors.

How could he not love such a human being?

Compared to most humans in later generations, the people of Uruk were really too pure.

Governing such a beautiful country, it's no wonder Gilgamesh hates modern humans.

While walking through the city of Uruk, before reaching the ziggurat, Merlin began to tell the Chaldeans about the situation in Uruk and the stories of Gilgamesh and Enkidu.

And remind Chaldea that Gilgamesh is a very strict and difficult person to get along with, so when you meet him later, you must be careful. Don't be rude and don't say unnecessary words.

However, with Xia Yuan and the body of Enkidu he brought with him, Gilgamesh would probably not make things difficult for the people of Chaldea.

After all, the favor of helping him retrieve the body of his best friend and preventing Enkidu from being desecrated and used by bad people is enough for Gilgamesh to remember for the rest of his life.

During this time, Mashu, who was a good kid in Chaldea, listened to Merlin's story very seriously. Ritsuka Fujimaru also turned into a curious kid, constantly asking Merlin questions about Uruk and Gilgamesh.

Merlin also enjoyed the feeling of being needed, and he nodded while beginning to answer the questions raised by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

However, since entering the Uruk area, Karna, the calmest member of the team, showed some abnormalities.

"What's wrong? Karna."

Realizing that the little sun beside him seemed to be worried about something, Xia Yuan, as the master, opened his mouth and asked.

"Master, I..."

Karna opened his mouth slightly and wanted to say something, but after looking at Xia Yuan, he lowered his head and did not say anything, but his expression looked a little conflicted.

"Haha, what's wrong? Karna, you are so shy, it's really..."

Seeing this situation, Xia Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

"It's really rare. I didn't expect Karna to show such an expression."

"..."

Karna lowered his head in shame: "...I'm sorry, Master, I just have something that I'm very concerned about. I want to leave first and check it out. Is that okay?"

"Oh? Something that Karna is concerned about?"

Xia Yuan was a little surprised to hear this answer, but he didn't ask the reason. He just nodded at him and said, "If you really care, then go and confirm it."

"But, Master..."

Although he had received the Master's permission, Karna was still a little hesitant.

As soon as he entered Uruk, he sensed the guy's disgusting aura. At this moment, he really wanted to fly to the Warcraft front in Uruk to fight his brother again.

But no.

Even though he longed for it so much, he couldn't abandon his Master just for his own selfish desires.

His current identity is a Servant, so his first mission is to protect the Master.

Seeing Karna's hesitation, Xia Yuan just patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, if there is anything you want to do, just do it. As I promised before, although we have signed a contract, we are not master and servant, but comrades fighting side by side. You should also have your own ideas and choices, and you don't have to listen to me."

"Besides, you have seen my strength, haven't you? Not to mention that I have Merlin and Anna to protect me, so I will be fine."

"...Yes, thank you for your generosity."

Hearing this, Karna's tense face gradually relaxed. After a brief thought, he finally obeyed his will and made his own choice.

"If you are in danger, please use the Command Spell to call me immediately. No matter where I am, I will rush to your side at the first moment."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your concern, Karna." Hearing this, Xia Yuan smiled and nodded.

"No need to thank me, Master. It is my luck to be summoned by you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Karna leaped into the sky, his body burning with flames, and flew towards the direction of the monster battle line.

After Karna left, the group, led by Merlin, continued walking towards the sacred tower where Gilgamesh was.

However, when they reached the entrance of the divine tower, a guard stopped Merlin and his companions.

He asked, "Who are you?"

"It is me, the court magician, Merlin. These people are strangers from Chaldea, and I am here to introduce them to the king."

As Merlin spoke, he took off the hood on his head and smiled gently at the guard at the door.

After all, he had stayed in the Uruk Ziggurat for a long time, and the guards here would not fail to recognize him.

However, what he didn't know was that today was the guard's shift change day.

The guard at the door looked at Merlin for a while, then asked after a moment of silence: "Who are you?"

"what?"

Merlin fell into a brief silence for a moment.

“Hahahahahahahaha! You useless Merlin, look, no one recognizes you. You’ve been a court magician in Uruk for so long, but even the guards don’t recognize you. It’s really…”

In Chaldea, Dr. Roman, who saw this hilarious scene, was leaning back in his chair, holding his stomach. He was almost laughing madly. Seeing the wonderful expression on Merlin's face, he felt even happier.

If his favorite female character is the magical girl Merlin, then his favorite thing is to see Merlin get humiliated.

"idiot……"

Seeing this scene, Anna couldn't help but complain.

"You are really unreliable, you..."

Xia Yuan walked around Merlin, who was almost petrified, patted him on the shoulder, and then kicked him aside.

"Do you really have to use your face? Where is the stone talisman you just used?"

Xia Yuan complained, then walked forward personally, ready to visit Gilgamesh in his own way.

Seeing these guys behaving strangely, the guards of the divine tower became more alert.

"Hello, Gilgamesh's guard."

Xia Yuan said to him, "Don't pay attention to this idiot. Go in and inform Gilgamesh for me. Just tell him that the King of Ur is here to visit and has brought gifts of sufficient sincerity."

King of Ur?

Upon hearing this name, not only the guards but also the people behind them were surprised.

"No, Ur City is not..."

The guard looked puzzled.

The city of Ur had long ago been completely destroyed by the attack of monsters, and everyone in Uruk knew that they had lost contact.

This strange man in front of me actually said that he was the king of Ur City. What was going on?

"It was not destroyed by the monsters. Like Uruk, the city of Ur still stands. I am the new king, and this is my identity seal."

As he spoke, Xia Yuan took out the seal of Ur City given to him by Quetzalcoatl and handed it to the guard.

The seal had a scorching temperature and indeed showed traces of the city of Ur. When the guards saw the young man take out this thing, their eyes became more serious.

"As you command, King of Ur, I will inform you right away..."

"No, please let in the great sage Merlin, these guests from afar, and the King of Ur."

When the soldier was about to go in and inform Gilgamesh, a gentle female voice came from the tower.

Then, a figure walked out.

"Chief Priest Siduri."

The guard called out the woman's name.

"Hey, Siduri, I'm back again."

Merlin greeted her as well.

"Thank you for your hard work, Great Sage Merlin."

"Soldier, these are the guests the king is waiting for. Let them in."

"Yes."

With the guarantee of the chief priest Siduri, the guard certainly had no intention of continuing to stop them. He bent down gently and respectfully watched the few people enter the sacred tower.

Led by Siduri, Xia Yuan and the people of Chaldea walked up the long stairs, passed many magnificent statues, and soon arrived at the throne of Gilgamesh.

When they pushed the door open, they heard Gilgamesh's devilish and joyful laughter.

“Hooha ...

Chapter 3: Meeting of the Kings (12/)

“Huhahahahahahahahaha——!!”

That extremely joyful laughter resounded throughout the entire ziggurat of Uruk.

The owner of this voice is Gilgamesh, the wise king of Uruk, who went on a long journey to find the elixir of immortality because of the death of his best friend and finally achieved enlightenment.

Because of the death of his best friend and the threat from the Warcraft Goddess, Gilgamesh hasn't laughed so happily for a long time.

Now, at this critical moment of life and death, he actually laughed out loud, which was rare.

And this time the laughter was particularly loud. There was no falseness in Gilgamesh's smile. He laughed from the bottom of his heart.

At least that's what Siduri, who had been with Gilgamesh for many years, thought.

Great, Wang is happy again...

And the reason why Gilgamesh was so happy was because he saw it all.

Although he and Merlin could not see through the kingdom of God ruled by Quetzalcoatl, and like Goetia's clairvoyance they could not see Xia Yuan's foggy future, but he could see other things.

The fate of Kingu, who occupied the body of his best friend Enkidu, changed. He was killed in advance by Xia Yuan and Enkidu's body was taken back. He still saw the fool Ishtar being tied up and taught a lesson by them outside the gate of Uruk.

These are all things that make him happy.

So, when Gilgamesh saw so many unexpected yet very interesting things happening outside, he was already extremely excited.

If it weren't for the fact that all the current situations in Uruk required him to be in charge personally to maintain the operation, Gilgamesh would have rushed out long ago.

That's why Gilgamesh was so excited when Xia Yuan and the others stepped onto the sacred tower and sensed the breath of Enkidu.

“It feels so oppressive…”

Entering the gate between the thrones of the sacred tower, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu saw the pair of scarlet pupils at first sight.

There was also the Golden King sitting on the throne, looking down at them.

The silence between the thrones and the sense of oppression brought by Gilgamesh made Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka feel very nervous.

This feeling is just like the pharaoh I saw in the pyramid in the sixth singularity...

It’s just that at that time, due to Pharaoh’s cunning behavior, the atmosphere was destroyed, so the atmosphere was not as solemn as it is now.

"You are well, King. I am here with visitors from Chaldea."
