[Comprehensive] Enkidu

Half a year has passed since then.

It will be winter soon.

I don't know if it was because it snowed a few days ago, Arthur's body began to feel uncomfortable.

Specifically speaking, he doesn't hate winter that much, he just instinctively fears the cold weather, but compared to when he was often drowsy and his heart hurts from time to time when he was young, he is much better now.

【If possible, I really want to find a thick quilt to wrap around and walk around. 】

Arthur couldn't help sighing while holding the airy coat with one hand.

After the busy farming season and the weather getting colder and colder, very few people appeared in the town. Except for the knights who were running around, most people spent the difficult winter at home around the fire.

It is almost impossible for the people at the bottom to live in peace. The exploitation of the lords took away most of the food, and the worn-out clothes could hardly resist the cold. The external aggression did not reduce the internal worries of the country, but intensified them.Where he could not see, many people would die of hunger and cold tomorrow.

Because of this, Arthur upholds his beliefs and wants to change the country.

Perhaps the horse accidentally kicked a stone hidden in the snow, the horse shook its head uneasily, but Enkidu skillfully pacified its back, and soon regained its calm.

Speaking of which, this is also Enkidu's first half year in this world.

Under Arthur's unexpected incident of alien invasion, Enkidu no longer became a spirit son, and got along with other people in the town as a human being.

He lives in Arthur's house, and usually helps Hector with some housework instead of accommodation expenses. Perhaps surprised that his adopted son finally made friends, Hector has always been very good towards Enkidu.

"Master, there is a herd of deer passing by ahead."

In order to conceal the physique of the heroic spirit, Enkidu also put on a thick winter coat.

The long green hair was not let down as usual, but was hidden in the interlayer of the clothes, because the clothes were a little too big, and Enkidu's mouth was covered tightly, and only a pair of eyes kept scanning around.

There is no concept of "snow" in his hometown, and there is a certain gap between the instilled knowledge and the reality. This is the first time Enkidu has seen such a phenomenon as snow.

The clay figurine didn't get used to the attire at first, but Arthur felt that it was much better than before. Looking at Enkidu's previous thin white shirt, even though he knew that he was not cold at all, he shivered for Enkidu sympathetically.

"Okay, look at me."

Arthur looked confident.

The bowstring pulled out a full arc, and after abandoning the doe and the immature fawn, the arrow firmly fixed on the strong buck.

"Yo~"

The herd trembled.

The bloody smell would not spread too far in winter, and the two quickly processed the food for the family for the next few days, and when it was completely hardened, they would carry it on horseback without any bloody smell.

Even if Arthur's adoptive father, Hector, is one of the best families in the neighborhood, although he is not rich, but with many horses as support, it is still difficult to live comfortably through the winter, and most of the food is shared by Hector. The poor, Arthur and Kay will not object, but the number of outings began to increase.

A single deer is not enough. Arthur and Enkidu's target is the wild wolf in the forest. Although the wolf meat is not very delicious, the hungry wolves in winter are too harmful to human beings. It is necessary to control their reproduction. OK.

"I'm going to have some wine, do you want to drink some to warm up your body?"

Walking in the silent forest, occasionally there is only the noise of branches being crushed by boots, and the vast whiteness seems to spread to the horizon.

Before making a contract with Enkidu, Arthur usually went here alone. Brother Kai was busy with the work of knights. If there were no difficulties, but with many people around him, he wanted to talk more to make him feel less lonely. .

Enkidu took the wine bag and took a sip of the wine. The taste of the ale was naturally not as good as the fine wines he had tasted, but it had a rustic aftertaste.

"Enkidu looks very young, has he ever drank before?"

Arthur secretly compared his stature. His familiar has a baby face that looks younger than him, but he is not short. He looks half a head taller than him.

For some reason, he felt a little melancholy.

"If you count age, I can be called Master's senior."

Enkidu firmly believed that he was not young.

It's a pity that he can't grow a beard because of the characteristics of his body. He hopes that his beard will be as long as his hair. It's a pity that his best friend knows this wish and laughs from day to night, saying something like "Only you can bring me so much happiness" , He still can't understand the mood of his best friend at that time.

"In terms of wine, the wine in Uruk is definitely not inferior to the country where the Master is located."

"Did wine exist thousands of years ago?"

Already knowing Enkidu's identity and part of his past, Arthur was still amazed at the existence of a civilization called "wine" in a country thousands of years ago.

"That is a gift from God to mankind."

In order to prevent the low-hanging branches from scratching the Master's face, Enkidu pushed down the branches while walking, and there was no emotion in his tone, whether it was awe or disgust.

"Gods pay attention to enjoyment, so wine appeared. However, the materials for making wine need abundant grain, high-quality fruits, and sufficient time. In order to meet their requirements, they handed over the formula of wine to humans, so that the annual sacrifices will be There's wine."

A close friend naturally has fine wine made by the gods, and he never hesitates to share it with Enkidu. Enkidu naturally knows the difference between divine wine and ordinary wine, but the gods require wine to be offered as sacrifices every year. Refusing to accept it is just to satisfy the pleasure of human beings who continue to give faith and awe for them.

It is no wonder that after killing the bull of heaven, Jill ordered the destruction of all temples.

"Too much waste of money."

Arthur's evaluation is also not high.

He has not experienced the era of theocratic rule, so he naturally does not have fanatical admiration. He can calmly analyze that if the grain output is the same as before, and a large amount of grain is used for wine making, many people are destined to starve to death.

"So when other city-states increase their tribute every year, Jill reduces the temple's tribute instead."

Enkidu still remembered his friend's answer when he asked him about it.

"no need".

On a sunny afternoon, on the tall building, you can see the panorama of Uruk when you look down.

The king lazily held the wine glass and tasted the imperfect and cloudy wine. After he knew about the wine that Uruk originally brewed for the gods, he decorated the king's wine storehouse and ordered that only if there was surplus food, this process could be carried out. event.

"As long as Uruk is a powerful country, those gods will not leave. Instead, they will find other reasons to praise the king's integrity."

Because they need the belief of an excellent country, destroying this country will cause them great losses.

Compared with this, no matter how perfect a treat is, it is just a fun to pass the time in leisure.

"That friend of yours is a wise prince."

Arthur couldn't help sighing, which made Enkidu show a soft smile.

"In my heart, he has always been the best king."

So Enkidu found that the originally high-spirited Master's mood was rarely depressed.

The two walked through most of the forest, but still did not find any trace of the wolf. Enkidu always kept an eye on the Master's movements, and he always lowered his head, not knowing what to think.

"Master?"

Arthur finally raised his eyes and looked at Enkidu in a daze.

Compared to her usual self-confidence, the current Master is cute enough.

"What are you thinking about?"

It is impossible for Arthur to tell Enkidu the secret in his heart.

When a friend smiled and praised another person, the future Wang felt a little complicated in his heart.

This kind of complexity is indescribable, after all, he knows that in the near future, he will bear the responsibility.

Arthur didn't know whether he could become a qualified king and whether he could bring Britain a new future. This kind of uncertainty seemed so restless when Enkidu praised another person.

But after Enkidu spoke, Arthur calmed down strangely.

No matter what, the person in front of him will watch all of this.

"Have you come this far?"

Arthur moved his sore arm, and he found that it was already deep in the forest.

"There are too few prey today."

As if deliberately changing the subject, Arthur looked back in distress at his only prey after a busy day.

"The spiritual power in the forest is a little restless, probably because of this reason, the animals are all hiding."

Enkidu stopped suddenly. He sensed a person in front of him. He seemed to be aware of him and the Master, and deliberately released his breath.

"Wow wow..."

That was the sound of the lake water paddling.

The sound of swaying water formed a soft sound wave, wafting close to the ear, and then there was a girl playing. Enkidu blocked Arthur behind him, and stared at the front with a serious expression.

The trees that originally covered the sight moved to the sides, and the clear lake gradually revealed a beautiful corner.

A woman was sitting by the lake, humming an unknown folk song softly. There was a faint mist around her, and her figure could not be seen clearly. Against the backdrop of fair skin, her long black curly hair was both enchanting and pure.

The fog lifted.

The woman's eyes are dark green in the depths of the bushes, and when changing angles, they are unfathomably black. Her beauty is evil and ethereal.

"I am Vivienne, the Fairy of the Lake."

She stared at Enkidu suspiciously, and showed a brilliant smile knowingly.

"...a creature made by God."
