Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

"As you command, King."

So Siduri took the three of them and left the tower.

Only Xia Yuan, Merlin and Gilgamesh were left between the thrones.

After driving away the three Chaldeans, Gilgamesh did not return to his throne.

Unlike the Chaldeans who still don't understand the situation, the two in front of them are really good helpers who can be of use.

"As for you, Magician. King Ur? It should be okay to call you that. I thought you would plead for those people in Chaldea and hope that I would give them another chance to prove themselves."

"No, I won't, because I know there's no point in doing that."

Xia Yuan naturally understood Gilgamesh's plan.

Because of his sudden joining, everything that Fujimaru Ritsuka is currently experiencing is going too smoothly.

Although he only saw the enemy, he did not experience Jingu's terror personally.

They have not yet realized the true significance of the existence of the Warcraft Front and Uruk. Now it can be said that their understanding of the seventh singularity is only at a half-baked stage.

Asking girls who don't fully understand the situation to save this singularity would just be a meaningless sacrifice for them.

Gilgamesh planned to let them walk through Uruk and onto the Warcraft front before forming an alliance, realize the current situation, and then make a choice.

Xia Yuan agreed with his arrangement.

"Humph, you are indeed a smart person, and you have a good eye..."

Hearing Xia Yuan's answer, Gilgamesh nodded to express his approval.

Then he slowly walked to Merlin's side and lifted the white cloth covering Enkidu. After seeing the scene inside, the expression on his face immediately disappeared and he fell silent.

"..."

Seeing Gilgamesh standing there in silence, Merlin and Xia Yuan did not make a sound to disturb him.

I just stood quietly beside him, waiting for him to come out of this sadness again.

Chapter 5: Searching for the Destiny Tablet (12/)

Just like in the myth, when he witnessed his best friend Enkidu passing away in front of him.

Even the heroic king Gilgamesh, who had been strong all his life, burst into tears.

Even though he had witnessed the death of his best friend Enkidu and experienced the journey to find the elixir of immortality, his state of mind had undergone a drastic change and he became a true wise king of Uruk.

But even so, when he saw his best friend's body appear in front of him again, he still couldn't suppress his emotions, even in front of outsiders.

She couldn't help but lower her head, tightly holding Enkidu's broken hands, tears streaming from her eyes.

Gilgamesh cried...

This is an indisputable fact. Even though he had his back to Xia Yuan and Merlin and did not make any sound, they could still sense his body trembling and his emotional fluctuations.

However, seeing this scene, they would not laugh at it or go forward to comfort the king.

They just stood quietly beside Gilgamesh, waiting for him to vent the emotions that were suppressed in his heart.

After a long time...

It can be said that Gilgamesh, whose emotions were released, felt an indescribable calmness at this moment.

For such a long time, he has been handling things, carrying the responsibility of keeping the human race alive and carrying the weight of Uruk on his shoulders.

Even though Gilgamesh didn't say anything, the pressure, mental exhaustion and depression he endured were naturally beyond words.

After being suppressed for such a long time, his spirit was almost reaching its limit and he was on the verge of sudden death at any time.

So when he saw his best friend, even though Enkidu had lost his life, he was willing to show his most vulnerable part in front of him.

Gilgamesh held Enkidu's hand and cried bitterly. After telling him how much he had missed him for so long, his depressed mood calmed down again.

After venting a lot.

Immediately afterwards, Gilgamesh, who was sitting with his back to Xia Yuan and Merlin, slowly stood up and covered Enkidu's body with the white cloth in his hand again.

……

……

Between the Thrones

"Is it really okay for you to do this? What can you find out from such a simple test? If you kick someone out without making it clear, won't it be a blow to those two girls, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu?"

Xia Yuan did not stand up for Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, because he knew that these two girls would never give up because of such a blow. They would definitely understand Gilgamesh's intentions, then try to understand, search and grow, and finally make Gilgamesh recognize them from the bottom of his heart.

But Merlin was still a little worried.

After all, he had been watching those two girls from the first singularity until now, and the feelings and expectations he had invested in them were no less than those of Romani from Chaldea. Therefore, he asked with more concern at the moment.

"Oh? Merlin, I never thought that you would be the one asking this question to me."

Hearing Merlin's question, Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows and replied, "This approach may indeed be a little inappropriate, but I don't have the extra time to continue examining their abilities and character. Rather than listening to your story or this guy's guarantee, I would rather hear their true thoughts."

"Let them personally understand every corner of Uruk. This will not only allow me to understand them, but also allow them to integrate into this world faster, and finally give me the answers I want from the bottom of my heart."

"Are you going to test them with Uruk?"

"Humph, of course." Gilgamesh nodded.

"If they do not understand my intentions and lose their way, then they are fools. If they are passive and do not understand Uruk as my request, then they are lazy. If their awareness is not enough to gain my approval, then they are not the ones who can bring salvation to Uruk."

"I have already given them all the opportunities that should be given. Whether they can seize them depends on their own abilities."

"As expected of a king, you have really thought it through. In that case, I will first..."

After finding out what he wanted to know, Merlin, who was trying to slack off, decisively prepared to slip away.

"You...come back here!"

Seeing Merlin trying to run away, Gilgamesh frowned slightly and shouted at him.

Xia Yuan also cooperated very well, raised his hand, grabbed the white hood on his clothes, and then pulled him back.

"Let me go! Yuan, if you don't run quickly, big brother will be exploited by this unscrupulous boss again."

"Exploitation by unscrupulous bosses?"

Hearing this title, Gilgamesh frowned slightly. He could hardly suppress the anger in his heart. He even wanted to chop down this fool who was still talking so arrogantly with an axe.

"I have to work at least twenty hours a day, excluding necessary meals and rest. In this critical moment, you, a loser, actually want to go out and slack off in front of me?!!"

"Ahhh... King, please listen to my explanation. During this time I was away on business, I was also..."

"Busy, huh? I know that the situation in Mesopotamia has changed dramatically, and it is inevitable that your work progress will be affected. But this is not a reason for us to continue wasting time. Disasters will not wait until we are fully prepared before they come."

"So Merlin, keep working overtime. This time, I can give you some more time to rest. You can stay in Uruk and Siduri to guide the group of Chaldeans. Two days later, you can lead them out of Uruk and continue to look for the Destiny Tablet. And you must find it this time. I am serious this time."

"Not long ago, the god Enki appeared in my dream and told me that the day of Uruk's destruction is getting closer and closer. So we really don't have time, Merlin."

Gilgamesh's tired eyes trembled a little, and he looked at Merlin seriously and spoke.

"……I see."

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Merlin did not continue to play tricks, but nodded slightly and took on this difficult task again.

He still had to continue working overtime at this high intensity, and he couldn't help but sigh: "There were some accidents while suppressing Beast, and I need to investigate. Now I have taken on the task of finding the clay tablets and guiding Chaldea. If I were not a Servant now, I would probably die suddenly."

"Hahaha, you're not even human. Even if you're not a Servant, you won't die suddenly from working overtime."

"So enjoy yourself. These two days may be the most relaxing time you have had in a while."

Gilgamesh laughed and patted Merlin on the shoulder. After issuing the basic tasks, he kicked Merlin out of the tower.

"Well, now that the matters with Merlin and Chaldea have been dealt with, it is your turn now, King Ur."

Merlin and Chaldea were all driven out of the tower.

The only ones left on the throne were the kings representing the two city-states.

"All irrelevant people have been dismissed. What we are going to discuss here next is the conversation between city-states and kings. Are you ready, King Ur?"

"of course."

……

Chapter 6: Ur Immigration Plan (12/)

Night fell quietly in Uruk.

Led by Merlin and Siduri, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu toured Urukli for a long time and gained some new understanding of this special city.

At this moment, they have returned to the hotel arranged by Siduri for them to rest.

At this point in time, except for the soldiers who were still on guard at the Warcraft front, most of the residents of Uruk had already fallen asleep, and people were gathering their strength to prepare for the next day's survival.

At the top of the divine tower, two figures were lying on the table, working hard under the light of the flames.

From time to time, loud shouts were heard from above the sacred tower.

"Ur, have you not yet finished calculating the food supply for the residents of the two cities?"

"It's still a little short. It's too troublesome to carve characters on these clay tablets."

"Then speed up. We still have the city defense and canal systems to deal with."

"understood……"

Holding the heavy clay tablet in his hand and looking at the densely packed words on it, Xia Yuan's expression fell silent...

If it weren't for the corresponding magic that allowed him to quickly understand the languages ​​of other civilizations, he would not be able to understand the clay tablets sent by Uruk at all.

But wasn't the purpose of my coming here to discuss an alliance with Gilgamesh, to relocate the residents of Ur, and to build a defense line together?

But what about the clay slabs that have been stacked several meters high on the table?

How could things develop like this?

While he was patiently handling the business on the clay tablets, he lowered his head and patiently thought about the reason for this -

By the way, after Gilgamesh threw Merlin out, he thought the next thing they were going to talk about was the alliance between Uruk and Ur.

As a result, when he was about to start, Jinpika raised his hand to stop him, then carried out hundreds of clay tablets with matters written on them from the back room and placed them directly in front of him.

When Xia Yuan first saw these stacked clay tablets, his expression was silent, and he was somewhat confused about Gilgamesh's intention.

Then Gilgamesh said very naturally: "Since you helped me bring back Enkidu's remains, and Merlin and the city of Ur served as guarantees, there is no need to test your strength and character. We can just talk about the alliance directly. I am too lazy to intrigue with you at the moment."

Even though Gilgamesh said so, Xia Yuan still didn't understand what the relationship between the alliance and these clay tablets was?

Then Gilgamesh said, "As the first meeting between kings, I would like to have a feast with you and chat while drinking. But the current situation does not allow us to continue to enjoy a leisurely time. It just so happens that in order to deal with your affairs, there are still many Uruk affairs that have not been dealt with yet. So I will change the wine table into a desk, and we can chat while dealing with affairs."

This strange train of thought shocked Xia Yuan?

The drinking table culture has become the desk culture in your place, right?

How can we allow the kings of other city-states to interfere in the affairs of our own country?

But Gilgamesh obviously didn't care about this.

Because the demise of Uruk was imminent, there was no time to continue scheming with Xia Yuan.

Since they wanted to form an alliance, he would naturally agree, and now was the time to use people.

The situation on the Warcraft front is also continuing to deteriorate.

In order to maintain this seemingly indestructible line of defense, the people of Uruk were dying all the time, but the number of monsters did not decrease at all, but instead became more and more.

Although the Warcraft front was broken, it was only a matter of time. But he also had to buy as much time as possible for humans. At present, it was a great thing to have the reinforcement of personnel from Ur City.

Don't employ a person you don't trust, and don't doubt a person you employ. Since Gilgamesh chose to form an alliance with the King of Ur, he didn't have the time to engage in intrigue with him. The two kings didn't even sign the most basic covenant before they began to deal with the affairs of the alliance.

I don’t know how long it has been...

Xia Yuan raised his head and stacked the processed clay tablets in front of the table.

"It's done. Have you figured out a way to transport troops to Ur City, King Gigi?"

"King Gigi? What kind of a nonsense title is that?"

"Nothing. This is the name of an idol from my time. He also happens to be the king. I always feel like he is very similar to you."

"Shut up! Miscellaneous cultivator!? I don't know who the King Jiji you are talking about is, but this is definitely not a compliment."

As if sensing the offense, Gilgamesh slightly raised his red pupils and looked at Xia Yuan, who was still looking down and carefully dealing with the matters on the clay tablet in his hand.
