"Why do you have to report this matter to me for handling, just because that family lost a sheep, and that family lost a piece of pottery and saw a tree?"

She had seen things like this no less than a hundred times in the past three months.

Gilgamesh was quite annoyed with dealing with such trivial matters; being young and energetic, she thought that things like conquering monsters were what she should do!

"Enmei Bara Geshi, go back and rest. Today's work is over!"

After throwing down the clay tablet, Gilgamesh spoke to his sister in an unquestionable tone.

"Yes, King."

Even though Enmebaragesi wanted to accompany Gilgamesh to complete the tasks left in the palace,877 the other party had already given the order.

And since this matter did not involve the gods, she had no right to resist and could only follow Gilgamesh's wishes.

After Enmebaragosi left, Gilgamesh closed his eyes and took a nap for a while, then opened his eyes again, walked out of the hall, folded his hands and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

In the cold moonlight, her golden hair looked even more brilliant, but she herself looked even lonelier.

Before she became the King of Uruk, she had plenty of time to learn magic from Luo Yun, or to pick quarrels with Ishtar, and basically lived a carefree life every day.

But after inheriting the throne, she lost this joy and was basically troubled by all the big and small things in Uruk every day!

Although she became a being above all others, she also lost her original happiness. Coupled with the events of the past three months, Gilgamesh began to think about what his purpose in becoming a king was!!!

So, after looking at the moon for a few minutes and thinking about life, Gilgamesh decided to go find Luo Yun.

At the same time, in the Cross and Dragon Snake Temple in the Royal City of Uruk, Ishtar, who had just finished her joy, received a call from Ereshkigal through the magic left in the underworld by Rowan.

Chapter 39: Teaching Joy! (Subscribe!)

Xin cruised through the sky in his moon boat, casting the cool moonlight on the earth, adding a touch of brightness to the darkness of the mortal world and allowing humans to pay attention to the ferocious beasts at night.

Gilgamesh, wearing a white robe with gold edges, a red gold shawl, and golden boots, walked in the moonlight through the garden to the right of the palace, walking on a cobblestone path. On both sides of the road, there were two torches facing each other every seven meters.

Even though there were soldiers patrolling the royal city at night, their numbers were insufficient compared to the daytime. Therefore, even the brightly lit royal city seemed quite quiet in the middle of the night.

The flame on the torch looked like a demon with bared fangs and claws in the cool night breeze, and the shadow behind it was also an evil ghost that was always eyeing its master.

There was silence all around, except for the sound of burning firewood, which made the silence seem even more terrifying.

It feels like you are on an isolated island, all alone; and the twinkling moon and stars in the sky will not bring comfort to the person, but will only make him more frightened and scared!

But Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, was not afraid at all. She held her head high and walked slowly forward, as if the dark night that symbolized death could not stop her from moving forward.

For this was the royal city of Uruk, the safest place in Mesopotamia, and the place of the master of the cross and the dragon and serpent, who was feared by the gods and conquered death.

If the place where he is can't make people feel at ease, then there is no place in this world that can make people feel at ease!

After passing through the dense garden forest, a temple appeared before her.

This was a temple built under the supervision of the sun god Shamash himself, and its shape and appearance are different from other temples of Uruk gods.

The ground and steps are paved with neatly cut marble. The whole temple is supported by 7 marble pillars with a diameter of 3 meters. The walls and roof of the temple are inlaid with golden murals. Seven dragon heads with obviously different appearances but equally ferocious and sacred are winding down from the top of the temple.

The eye sockets of these dragon heads are inlaid with magic gems of different colors, making them look lifelike. People who enter here can feel the majesty and sacredness that is different from other temples!

The statue enshrined in the very center of the temple is different from other temples in that it is not a statue of a deity, but a pure white cross without any carvings.

On the cross, there are two dragons and snakes, one in front and one behind, connected head to tail and entwined on it. This was the only requirement that Luo Yun put forward to Shamash when the temple was built.

Outside the temple, Gilgamesh stood up for a few seconds, then took another step and walked to the side.

There is a road leading to the top of the temple, and that is the end point of Gilgamesh's journey, the temple where Luo Yun lives!

After she walked up 49 stone steps, she finally arrived at the temple above the temple, which was surrounded by nine stone pillars.

Although various flowers and fruits were placed in the temple every day, there were no windows or doors around it, so the breeze blew in from time to time. As soon as Gilgamesh stepped into the temple, he smelled a faint floral scent.

However, soon, her brows slightly frowned, because in this faint sweet smell, there was also a strange smell.

Because it reminded her of the time when she followed her sister during a night of worshipping the gods, and the scent she smelled at that time was exactly the same as the scent mixed with the fragrance of the flowers.

Only gods can live in the temple. Ordinary people and even priests need the permission of gods. Otherwise, setting foot here without permission will be considered as disrespecting gods and punishable by death!

Of course, as Luo Yun's disciple, Gilgamesh was given the privilege to set foot here at will.

Therefore, in the temple where only gods could live, she smelled this scent that was only emitted during reproduction rituals, so the owner of this scent was obvious.

And as the other person cooperating with the ceremony, it is even more obvious!

As far as she knew, there were only two people in the entire Uruk who could cooperate with Luo Yun in performing this ritual. One of them was her sister. However, she had been working with her in the palace until just now. Even if she came here after leaving the palace, it would be impossible for Luo Yun, as a god, to complete the ritual in such a short time.

The reason was the sacrifice to the gods which had caused a strong impact on her young mind. The whole ceremony lasted for more than three hours and ended only when her feet were numb from squatting!

Therefore, the only other person in this peace ceremony was the Venus goddess Ishtar, the teacher's beloved wife.

Moreover, Gilgamesh knew that the other party had finished the ceremony long before she arrived.

The reason was that when she arrived at the temple, Luo Yun was already sitting on the throne, and Ishtar was on the steps below the throne!

At this moment, the goddess was lazily half-lying on the clean white jade steps, fiercely confronting another goddess through mirror magic.

"Gilgamesh, my beloved son, you came here in the middle of the night without resting. Do you have any doubts in your heart?"

This was not mind reading. It was just Luo Yun's judgment based on his hundreds of years of experience in ruling the underworld. He just judged Gilgamesh's bad and confused state of mind through the changes in her expression.

Of course, this is because Gilgamesh is still young, has only been king for a short time, and has little experience. If she had returned from searching for the elixir of life, even Luo Yun would have needed to look at her for a while before making a judgment!

Under the throne, Ishtar was completely absorbed in the confrontation with Ereshkigal. She had no interest in Gilgamesh's arrival or her questions, even though Gilgamesh was the one she usually quarreled with.

The status of God and man has never been equal!

Opposite Ishtar, Gilgamesh did not show any shock when he heard Luo Yun's question.

Since the other party is a god, the most revered among gods, isn't it natural that he can see through everything about her?

In addition to his relationship with the other party, Gilgamesh seemed to have heard some comforting words and directly asked the questions hidden in his heart.

"Teacher, what exactly is a king?"

On the throne, Luo Yun raised his eyebrows as he looked at Gilgamesh, who looked a little worried, and then said slowly:

"What is a king? It's hard for me to answer this question because everyone has a different definition in their mind, so the definition of a king is also different for everyone."

"But you have to know that this is the era ruled by gods, and humans were originally just creatures created by gods to serve them."

"When the gods created humans, death was with you, but life was in your own hands."

"And the most important thing you should do now is to fill your hungry stomach!"

Luo Yun pointed the golden holy spear at Gilgamesh's abdomen, and then continued:

"You are the king of Uruk, their ruler and guide. You are Uruk."

"You deserve the best, do what you want and what you think is right, that's what you should do as a human being."

"But before you do this, you must listen to your loved ones and love your people. This is what you should do as a king."

Chapter 40 Youth Gilgamesh will not dream of the shooting star Enkidu! (Please subscribe!)

Ever since Gilgamesh got the answer she wanted from Luo Yun that night, the entire Uruk had undergone a completely new change in less than half a month.

First, she delegated most of her work to people selected from the Council of Elders and the Council of Citizens, and Gilgamesh changed these people who completed her work every week to prevent them from forming factions that were dangerous to the kingship.

Then she announced to all the citizens of Uruk that they should build high city walls to defend against invasions from wild beasts and neighboring countries.

Afterwards, Gilgamesh re-selected a group of people from the people and slaves to build a new palace that was taller than all the buildings in Uruk to overlook his city-state. Inside the palace, Gilgamesh also specially ordered a treasury to be built for collecting treasures!

In the end, Gilgamesh followed his heart and spent every day doing things that made her happy.

During the day he would hold banquets with singing and dancing, and at night he would choose a beautiful woman in the city of Uruk as his bed partner. Even the daughters and wives of nobles could not escape.

She even invited Luo Yun from time to time to let him attend banquets and enjoy the gentle land of pleasure.

Luo Yun only attended the banquet and did not take any action against the woman who was abducted by Gilgamesh.

After all, in Mesopotamia, if he just asked the question, goddesses would come to him in order to please him.

If there were 877 characters with surnames in the anime he had watched before, Luo Yun might have been somewhat interested in collecting them, but unfortunately these were just mortals whose names he didn't even need to remember!

Of course, Luo Yun also knew about Gilgamesh's massive construction projects. One night, Enmebaragosi even asked him to persuade Gilgamesh in private.

Gilgamesh also listened to Luo Yun's advice and used his magic to reduce most of the labor for those who built the city walls and the palace.

But even so, after three months, hundreds of laborers who were forcibly conscripted to build the city walls and the royal palace collapsed from overwork.

For a time, the whole of Uruk was complaining about Gilgamesh's actions!

After that, half a month later, the Council of Elders and the Council of Citizens reached a unanimous decision and asked all the priests and officials of Uruk to pray to An to punish Gilgamesh.

Under the general trend, even though Enmeibalagesi was somewhat reluctant, he had no choice but to lead the priests and high officials to An's temple and start praying to the gods.

The peace of the Mesopotamian heaven was prayed for by the priests and accepted by the people.

Because the gods discovered that after Gilgamesh became the king of Uruk, he did not guide humans back to the "arms" of the gods as they had imagined, but instead indulged in pleasure.

This violates the destiny given to him by the gods and offends the majesty of the gods!

Finally, An asked Luo Yun whether the gods could punish Gilgamesh, and got the word "whatever" from him.

He called Aluru, the "Mother of the Gods" Ninhursag, and asked her to create a new life to punish Gilgamesh for his actions and guide this "Covenant of Heaven" to the right path!!!

Ninhursag, who received the order, turned to her husband Enki for help because she was not good at creation.

Enki used the sacred mud to create a puppet that could be used as a weapon and change its shape at will. He also found Ninurta to bless it and named the puppet Enkidu. Then Ninhursag, who had completed the task assigned by Ansuo, threw it directly into the Mesopotamian plain.

However, Enkidu, created by Enki, was not endowed with wisdom. Therefore, after being cast to the ground by Ninhursag, he spent his days with wild beasts. He even became friends with Humbaba, a monster living in the cedar forest. Together they hunted wild beasts in the forest and drank mountain stream water...

......

......

In the early morning, as the sun cast its first rays on the ground, the citizens of Uruk woke up from their dreams and began a day of hard work.

Inside the royal city, in a room decorated with flowers, Gilgamesh, with dishevelled clothes, suddenly sat up from the bed.

Gilgamesh, who didn't know that the gods had specially created a "weapon" to punish her for not following the destiny they had planned for her, curled up one leg and half-sat on the bed, covering her forehead and trying hard to recall what had just happened in her dream.

At the same time, because Gilgamesh did not deliberately restrain his movements, the girl sleeping next to him slowly woke up.

Although this girl was a rare beauty in the whole of Uruk, Gilgamesh paid no attention to her and even used her as a pillow last night.

Gilgamesh, who couldn't figure out what the dream meant, came to the Temple of the Cross, Dragon and Snake, found Luo Yun, and asked him to interpret the dream for him.

On the throne, Luo Yun leaned sideways, allowing Gilgamesh to place his head on her lower abdomen, feeling the cool and delicate touch of his skin, enjoying the rare shoulder rub after she became the Queen of Uruk.

It was not until a while later that Gilgamesh's hands began to feel sore.

Luo Yuncai played with Gilgamesh's hair that fell on his cheeks and said affirmatively: "Tell me, what do you want to consult me ​​about?"

Gilgamesh's expression remained unchanged when Luo Yun told him the purpose. He let his teacher play with her hair, which she did not allow anyone to touch. Then he slowly said, "It was a dream. I had a very real dream last night, so I wanted to come here to ask you something."

"Tell me."

"In my dream, I saw a sign in the night sky. A star was getting bigger and bigger. An's creation was moving towards me. When the meteor fell in front of me, I tried to lift it, but it was too heavy and I didn't lift it."

“It was only later that I discovered that this meteor could enter from the outside, so I walked in, and then I discovered that this line of meteors could move from the inside!”

After listening to Gilgamesh's story, Luo Yun looked up at her.

"A meteor that can move?"

If the 'dream' Gilgamesh just mentioned was a nightmare or some other dream, Luo Yun might have to think a little more about what this dream meant.

But if it was this dream, he was quite clear that it was a revelation and a sign given to her by the god in the sky of Gilgamesh who was related to her by blood!

You know, when he was in the world of God Slayer, he was familiar with all the myths from all over the world, and he knew "Gilgamesh" by heart.

At that time, Luo Yun had been trying to find a time to summon Gilgamesh from the world of the God Slayer, then kill him and seize his power!

After all, he was also a fan of anime before. In Fate, Gilgamesh's gesture of shooting out thousands of arrows with a wave of his hand seemed very handsome to him at that time.

It’s just a pity that when he finally wanted to use the clay tablet to summon Gilgamesh, the earth veins had been exhausted because of his battle with the Last King!

Gilgamesh fell down on the armrest of the throne, and came into Luo Yun's arms. He raised his legs and placed them on the armrest, and picked up a strand of hair and swept it across the other's cheek.

In response to Luo Yun's question, Gilgamesh nodded and hummed lightly.
