Zongman: Unlock the Heroic Spirit Heritage from Demon Slayer

"I guess the information about my going out was passed back by Jingu."

"That's why the Demonic Beast Leader will appear again."

"However, fortunately our progress is not slow, and we just happened to run into this."

"Let's go. Let's go back to the north wall first. Then we'll go back to the royal city of Uruk."

Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in agreement.

However, Ishtar, the goddess of Venus who was tied up tightly, let out a cry.

"No, it's too embarrassing to go to see that damn Gilgamesh like this!"

"Zhou Yi, please let me go! I will never run away!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu also pleaded for Ishtar:

"Um...Mr. Zhou Yi, Ishtar saved our lives before. Do you think she can unlock the Heaven's Chain?"

"We promise that the noble goddess Venus will never go back on her word!"

After hearing this, Ishtar, who was flying in the air, blushed and felt full of guilt.

That’s right, she was planning to trick Zhou Yi into unlocking the Heavenly Lock, and then take the opportunity to escape!

“Ishtar, they trust you so much. You won’t betray their trust, will you?”

Facing Zhou Yi's ridicule, Ishtar raised her head and said proudly:

"Hey, I'm a goddess! I keep my word! Why would I run away!"

"What they are saying is nonsense! It's totally unnecessary!"

Then Ishtar's voice suddenly dropped, and she said shyly:

"But...thank you anyway."

Hearing the arrogant Ishtar say this, Zhou Yi understood that the other party would not run away.

"Well, for the sake of your friend, I'll let you go."

The chains of heaven loosened their bonds, and Ishtar finally regained her freedom.

"Humph, these guys are not my goddess's friends!"

"You are just my servant at best!"

Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled after hearing this:

"This goddess is surprisingly dishonest!"

"Who isn't honest?! Well, I'll admit that you're my friend!"

Despite Ishtar's insistence, they finally reached the heavily guarded north wall.

Outside the city gate, the guarding soldiers recognized Zhou Yi at a glance.

"Master Zhou Yi, from that arrow just now, I knew you were back!"

The soldiers saluted Zhou Yi respectfully.

"Well, thank you for your hard work. Open the door and let us in. These are the king's guests."

"What about the soldier casualties?"

When the soldier heard that they were the king's guests, he immediately saluted the others and said:

"There are the lord's puppets, Tomoe Gozen-sama and the general guarding the place. Only a few brothers were injured, but they are not serious."

It's good news that no one was killed.

"You keep watch. I'll take these people in first."

"Yes, my lord!"

After passing through the heavy city gate, the group finally arrived at a safe place.

"Mr. Zhou Yi is really loved by everyone!"

Mashu's eyes were full of admiration.

"Those who are capable should do more work. This is not an enemy they should be dealing with."

Zhou Yi’s answer was still so calm and nonchalant.

He turned around and asked:

"Merlin, are you going to take them directly back to Uruk, or are you going to rest for a while and set out again tomorrow?"

Merlin's smile faded, and he said solemnly:

"We don't have much time. Chaldea's arrival heralds the battle entering a new phase."

"That's why the king arranged for the two of us to go and pick them up."

Zhou Yi nodded, indicating his understanding:

"Then I'll have to trouble you again. The convoy transporting supplies should be leaving soon, and you can take a ride."

Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka asked curiously:

"Will Mr. Zhou Yi not go back with us to meet the king?"

0 ..... .......

The doctor in Chaldea spoke at this time:

"Mashu, Ritsuka, he can't get away from the current situation on the North Wall."

Zhou Yi agreed with the doctor's opinion.

"That's right. Once something goes wrong here, the monster tide will move south."

"That would absolutely cause great suffering to all."

They were a little disappointed.

"Okay, then please be careful."

Fufu jumped lightly on top of Merlin's head and called out happily, "Fufu!"

It is happiest when Zhou Yi is not around!

Merlin pretended to be deeply distressed and said:

"Isn't it enough for you to have a big brother like me by your side?"

"And there are beautiful girls like Anna!"

Anna glanced at Merlin warily:

"Merlin! Disgusting!"

Yes! And Miss Anna!

Anna didn't say anything and hid beside Zhou Yi.

They had almost forgotten about her.

"Anna, Ritsuka is also a reliable person."

“You can try to trust her!”

Anna stared at Zhou Yi for a long time before speaking:

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

Fujimaru Ritsuka happily stretched out his right hand and said with a smile:

"Then let's be friends!"

Looking at the other party's outstretched hand, Anna still hesitated.

Can I really be friends with humans?

With Zhou Yi's repeated encouragement.

In the end, she chose to believe Zhou Yi and shook hands with the Master.

"My name is Anna, and I'm here to put an end to this mistake. Please give me your guidance."

"Fujimaru Ritsuka! I've come to save humanity, please give me your guidance!"

Seeing this, Zhou Yi, with a look of relief on his face, sent them on the carriage for their return journey.

He also specifically instructed Ushiwakamaru, who was escorting him, to take good care of him.

Ushiwakamaru patted his chest to indicate that there was no problem.

"I have also heard a little about the last Master of mankind! Leave it to me!"

The group left the north wall and headed for Uruk.

And Zhou Yi also returned to his magic workshop.

The number of puppets is far from enough, he still needs to work harder.

Chapter 240: Ishtar is captured, the doctor's carelessness

"Wow, there was such a huge city more than 2000 years before Christ!"

Watching the people coming and going on the streets of Uruk and the residents' enthusiasm for farming and trade.

Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka showed surprised expressions.

"Is this the peaceful life they were supposed to have?" Anna's eyes dimmed. "It's all my fault. I ruined such a beautiful life."

Merlin noticed Anna's strangeness and said:

"After Zhou Yi was summoned, he rushed to the north overnight and stopped the monster tide alone, so the casualties were not heavy."

"Also, because the battle situation on the North Wall has been good, their lives haven't changed much."

"Besides, this place is one of the birthplaces of civilization after all, so it's not surprising that it's at this level!"

Merlin's explanation made Anna feel much better.

"Thanks to him."

Anna was very grateful to Zhou Yi.

Ishtar on the side was very unhappy.

"Humph, this is a kingdom under my protection after all. Isn't it normal for it to develop like this?"

"Besides, I also helped "057" to destroy the monsters!"

Mashu looked at Ishtar awkwardly but did not expose her.

You know, under Gilgamesh's rule, humans should have drawn a clear line between themselves and the gods.

This is also the main reason why Enkidu was created and then died.

Moreover, according to Zhou Yi, the goddess in front of him would forcibly take away the gems from the person he was helping!

"Well, you can visit Uruk any time you want, but now we need to go meet the king in the ziggurat."

Merlin led them to the sacred tower in the center of the city, where King Gilgamesh handled government affairs.

As soon as the group entered the palace, they attracted Siduri's attention.

She was surprised to find that the goddess Ishtar was among them!

"King, the court wizard Merlin is back, and it seems he brought back the goddess with him!"

"Do you think we should put off the government affairs at hand?"

Gilgamesh, sitting high on the throne, glanced at Merlin and the others nonchalantly.

After seeing Ishtar and Anna, there was a noticeable change in his pupils.

He murmured:

“This seems to be different from what I saw!”

Gilgamesh, who bears the title of wise king, has the qualifications to become the Grand Caster, just like Merlin!
