"To be honest, in terms of taste, this ancient date wine tastes pretty good..." I turned my head and looked at El Cid, who looked eager to find a cloth to wrap his whole body, I He reached out and patted his arm, "Why, do you have lice?"

"What did you call this?" he glared at me.

"Wool skirt." I rubbed my temples and looked at the date palm wine in the earthenware bowl in front of me. In this era of Mesopotamia, honey, silk from the East, and wine from the Aegean region. The luxury of luxury goods, I have all the goods ready at once.

And the silk I use is not the simple silk flakes of this era, but an old product that I hoarded in the world where I can buy high-grade silk. After that, I got a lot of honey, and I met Gilgamesh in that world. After that, I began to secretly plan for a rainy day, and I was waiting for this moment.

There was a king in Kish who was contemporaneous with Gilgamesh, and the earliest conflict was not between Ur and Uruk, but between Kish and Uruk. At that time, King Aga of Kish approached Uruk with troops. Uruk was asked to surrender, and in the end the army was defeated by a small group of main combatants in Uruk who were opposed to surrender led by Gilgamesh-this is my investigation after knowing that I will fight this person again sooner or later s things.

Of course, I'm not sure whether these two world views are in common, at least as far as I feel now, this is closer to the world view recorded in the real history books.

That is to say, many things here are very similar to those in specialized historical research books, folk customs and so on.

"...What is a wool skirt..." El Cid looked very unhappy, I shrugged my shoulders, and then slightly raised the linen hood that covered my eyes, "I am a woman who came out to do business Of course there will be servants around me." El Cid is of mixed race, but he is generally of Europa race, and his appearance is very different from the indigenous race here, while I am an oriental, although my hair color and appearance are a little bit different. They are similar but basically it can be seen that they and I are from two completely different regions.

I disguised myself as a businessman from the far east, and it was impossible for me to have no one with me. As a caravan, I needed to have at least one character like a "confidant butler" by my side, um, and a coolie.

Yaeye itself is a bone girl, similar to the painted skin in Chinese legends. She can change her appearance freely, so she is the one who is most like a local among the three of us.

I asked her to go out wearing a long silk dress and find out who in the city can afford such high-end goods as silk wine—of course, I know that this news will only reach the royal family of Kish in the end. Only the royal family can afford so many high-end luxury goods.

El Cid frowned, and just about to say something, I reached out and patted his shoulder, "Can you stop being so inked, you see, you have at least one skirt to wear, look at that one over there..." I pointed to the slaves who were taken away like cows and horses, "They can only find a piece of dirty linen to cover themselves, otherwise it is much better than the celestial camp in Egypt next door, isn't it? I want to give you Shave your head."

El Cid choked for a moment and didn't speak. He took a sip of water from the ceramic bowl in front of him silently. I asked him if he would like a sip of date wine, but he said he didn't drink.

"Drinking will break the sharpness of the sword." So he said.

In fact, I think date wine tastes a bit like sweet water, and it can't be called "wine" at all-it's more like some modern alcoholic beverages than authentic "wine".

Picking up girls also affects it.I silently rolled my eyes at him, an incomprehensible guy.

There are still more men than women on the street. Most women on the street wear veils. Those who don’t wear veils are X workers, and they are not allowed to wear veils. If they are found, they will be severely punished. .

According to the information I heard outside, there was a large-scale war between Kish and Uruk three years ago, but Kish was defeated. After that, the two sides had to make an agreement not to start the war. Uruk made some offerings, and now Kish's kingship since the Great Flood has fallen on Uruk's head.Now we are in a very embarrassing period-if Uruk can swallow Kish in one go, then there is no need to make a tribute agreement, but it can also be seen that Uruk did have the upper hand at that time.

Uruk has Gilgamesh, almost invincible.

In short, the relationship between Uruk, where the royal power is now, and other small countries is very delicate. Small countries rely on surrendering to Uruk to temporarily find peace. It is said that many beauties and property are sent over every year. The slave trade between countries is also very active.

Well, after all, only when there is peace can the economy develop.I don't know this, but if this is the case, it may be very unfavorable to me. I need a war. If they can't fight, I will have a headache.And slowly building up power is also a very troublesome thing.

It is best to directly provoke the hatred between Uruk and other small countries, and then make them fight from it. According to the current situation, if the surrounding small countries join forces, it is not that they do not have the strength to fight Uruk of.

What I'm missing now...is the condition for this to happen?

In this violent and primitive world, there are various reasons for inducing a war, just like the battle of Troy next door, isn’t it because someone abducted that so-and-so’s wife and took away a lot of gold and silver treasures Is the one that led to being robbed tolerable or unbearable?

But before that, I need to make sure of one thing. I want to make sure that there are gods in this world. There are a lot of narratives about gods in the Epic of Gilgamesh, but what I have seen and heard in this world for the time being , I have not seen the influence of the so-called "God" on this world.

Although I believe that there are so-called "magic" or "divine power" settings in this world, seeing is believing after all.

"What are you thinking?" El Cid pulled me out of my contemplation. What was placed in front of him was a large plate of partridge boiled with mint and spices and some unidentifiable wild animals. He took out the brass knife I gave him and cut a bit of the meat that had been boiled with spices and put it on his plate.

"I was thinking... selling you to the goddess Inanna as a partner. I don't know if she will help me start a war." I made a smirk and squeezed a small piece of partridge meat into my mouth, then licked it. Fingers, half-closed eyes and smiling, looking at El Cid with a cold and dark expression.

El Cid held back for a long time with a dark face, and finally said, "Shameless."

...really.

Speaking of Inanna, I need to go to her temple. If you want to verify whether there are gods, going to her temple is probably the fastest way.

Also, I had to make a trip to Uruk after I had bottomed out in Kish.

Gu Xiao and the others have no news for the time being, but I think they know about the same as me.

Inanna is the goddess of love|desire and war, and there are a lot of legends about the primordial * of human beings. It can be said that she likes a very strong man. If such a man finds her, the chances of winning are higher than I find her, right?I squinted at El Cid, who had already killed two partridges boiled with mint and spices. He seemed to be biting the partridges for me to vent his anger. To be honest, he was unexpectedly childish. .

Wait a minute, this guy won't...or is he just a boy?

...What should I do, I feel disgusted for a moment!
