I Will Be the Son of Man

Listening to Gilgamesh's words, Merlin was silent for a long time, then he raised his head and said with a relaxed smile.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

"King Gilgamesh, please forgive my previous doubts."

He waved his hand, Gilgamesh didn't feel much anger at the actions of the half-dream demon in front of him.

Because he more or less knew that someone would put forward such a "world harm theory" because of Hill's paper-like nature.

But as Merlin said before, because it is Wugou, even if it really turns into pitch black in the end, it is a trial that human beings must accept.

And aside from this point, if he, Gilgamesh, saw that the human beings of later generations were all walking corpses and living without will, then he himself would first carry out a human cleansing, so that the glory lost in history reproduce.

"I won't bother you after that, King Gilgamesh. Tomorrow, we should be able to return to Uruk with the Chaldeans."

"Ah."

With a light reply, Gilgamesh opened his eyes again, and found that he had returned to the throne, with the report clay tablet in his hand.

"Is there a possibility of a beast... the king's child is not so fragile, magician..."

Beside the bonfire, Merlin slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the pure white child who was sleeping soundly by the fire, although his face was expressionless, he was as peaceful as a baby, and murmured.

"A spiritual anchor... Only a person with your will can plant a human seed in Wugou's heart, right, King Gilgamesh..."

With a chuckle, the white half-succubus fell asleep again, but this time it was obviously much more relaxed.

Chapter 021: Anna, do you want to eat?

In the early morning of the next day, Merlin and the others got up early and set off towards Uruk.

Along the way, Merlin also explained the situation of the current era to Lixiang, Matthew, and Chaldea on the opposite side of the communication bracelet.

"In other words, King Gilgamesh has built a huge defensive line around Uruk because of the sudden appearance of the [Three Goddess Alliance] and monsters, and it has been going on for about half a year?"

Lixiang's expression was slightly surprised, because she had never encountered such a situation after going through so many singularities.

"It is indeed the king recorded in history, but now that I think about it, with the character of the king in history, is it really okay to adopt His Royal Highness Hill?"

Matthew glanced at the pure white toddler who was walking beside Anna, quietly eating the apples he picked along the road, and couldn't help but feel worried about the future of the other party.

"Indeed, if it's that tyrant, it's hard to be reassured. However, King Gilgamesh has changed his character since he returned from the quest for immortality, and now he is a wise monarch!"

Merlin chuckled. After all, when he first met Gilgamesh, he felt that Gilgamesh was a little different from what he remembered.

"Worthy, wise? This is really unimaginable..."

Matthew and Lixiang looked at each other, and both of them smiled wryly unconsciously.

"When I see you, you will naturally understand."

An inexplicable smile appeared on Merlin's face, and then he raised his head and glanced into the distance.

"Look, Uruk can roughly see it!"

Lixiang and Matthew raised their heads when they heard the words, and sure enough, in the distance, the faint city-state stood out on the horizon.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and they also breathed a sigh of relief.

******

Uruk, on the avenue outside the city gate.

Lixiang and Matthew hid behind the two carriages, looking at the guards who were interrogating at the entrance to the city, feeling a little nervous.

"What to do, senior, do you want to sneak in?"

"Um, if Merlin is here, it shouldn't be so troublesome..."

Lixiang muttered something, but in fact, she didn't really believe in Merlin's reliability.

"That's right, since Mr. Merlin was summoned by King Gilgamesh, there must be no problem entering and exiting the city-state."

"Besides, if it really doesn't work, we can still rely on His Royal Highness Hill..."

Matthew responded, but before the two of them could make up their minds, a guard at the entrance of the city seemed to have sensed the strangeness here, and immediately ran over.

"You guys, once you step out of the road, you will be haunted by the curse of the sacrificial ground! Although it is only a ritual to expel monsters around Uruk, it still has some effect on humans."

"Yes, yes! Thank you for your advice!"

Matthew subconsciously bowed down to thank the guard in front of him, but the other party just waved his hand, then glanced at the strange outfits of Matthew and Lixiang, and asked.

"Are you two refugees from Ur?"

"No, these are refugees from Gilsu. As you can see, I have a business license authorized by the sacrificial ground. I want them to avoid going to Uruk. Are there any procedures that need to be done?"

Merlin stepped forward, took off the rolling seal hanging from his neck, and handed it to the guard in front of him.

"Huh? This is Siduri-sama's seal..."

The guard was looking at the token in his hand, when suddenly his eyes turned to the pure white boy who had been standing behind Anna before.

"Eh? That is...His Royal Highness Prince Hill?"

He blinked in surprise, because the guard's voice was suddenly louder. Hill, who was eating an apple, heard someone calling his name, raised his head to glance at the other person, then lowered his head and continued eating.

"Sure enough, it's His Royal Highness Hill! He has the seal of Lord Siduri, and His Highness Hill is also by his side..."

"Excuse me, it looks like you are Mr. Merlin, the king's court magician, right?"

"Since this is the case, there is no problem! Those of you over there, welcome to Uruk! Once you get here, you can rest assured!"

The guard greeted him enthusiastically, but this sudden sense of accommodation made Merlin feel frustrated for some reason.

After all, strictly speaking, the rhetoric and seals he made may not have the face of Hill.

After receiving the returned seal, Merlin was about to call everyone into the city, but when the guard saw Anna beside Hill, he seemed to have remembered something, and squatted in front of Hill and said.

"With such a small body, it must be very hard to walk all the way? His Highness Hill is also very capable, and he was able to go out with the king's magician to shelter refugees and come back!"

"In addition, if you don't mind, please accept this. This is my daughter's snack for me in the afternoon. You are welcome to take it!"

Looking at the food that was suddenly handed in front of her, which seemed to be some kind of pastry, Anna was at a loss for a while.

"Eh? But...but..."

"Can this be eaten, Merlin?"

Without hesitation like Anna, Hill on the side stared at the snack in the guard's hand, and asked without turning his head.

"Hahaha...As always, it has the style of His Royal Highness Hill!"

Merlin smiled, and then said affirmatively.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you eat it, because it was given to you by someone else. Besides, Anna, it's better for you to accept it too."

After getting an affirmative answer, Hill took the snacks from the guard, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Crunchy and sweet, it tastes different from apples.

Hill squinted his eyes, and with a piece of pastry in his mouth, he said to Anna vaguely.

"An...Na, do you want...to eat?"

"Do not......"

Looking at Hill's expressionless face, which seemed to exude some kind of breath called enjoyment, Anna subconsciously wanted to refuse.

However, as soon as she uttered the first word, Hill swallowed the pastry in his mouth and nodded.After that, he quickly picked up the second piece unceremoniously, and walked away at the same time, as if he was going to monopolize it after making sure that Anna didn't want it.

"No, I decided to give it a try."

A sudden depression emerged in Anna's heart, so she changed her mind temporarily and blurted out.

"Oh......"

Hearing these words, Hill's body froze for a moment, and his strides stopped. Then he turned around and handed the snacks to Anna again.

For some reason, looking at those innocent golden snake eyes, Anna always felt that the other party had been wronged.

So, she looked down at the pastry in Hill's hand, then picked the smallest piece, pulled the hood on her head, took a small bite of the pastry, turned her face and said softly.

"That's enough, I'll give you the rest..."

"Oh."

Nodding again, Hill ate the small pastry again, but this time, he didn't run away, but just stood beside Anna.

Chapter 022: Gold - flash - flash -!

As soon as they entered the city of Uruk, Lixiang and Mash felt a completely different atmosphere from the singularity they had been to before.

The people shuttled through the bustling market, and the faces of the children were full of laughter. The whole capital gave them a sense of vitality.

"Then Uruk, you can visit it later. First, let's go to the tower to meet King Gilgamesh."

Merlin looked at the curious faces of the two girls, stopped their interest in time, and smiled.

"God Tower?"

Li Xiang blinked, his tone a little confused.

"Senior, that is the temple in Mesopotamia, which means altar."

Mash whispered something next to Lixiang's ear, and the other party nodded in understanding.

"Okay, without further ado, let's go up first."

Merlin looked at the towering steps in front of him. Although his face was relaxed, he couldn't help worrying that he was exhausting his physical strength.

Just like that, following Merlin's arrangement, the group climbed up the stairs leading to the highest-level meeting hall.
