[Infrastructure] After being mistaken for a god

Yi Nan struggled to break free from something at a certain moment.She suddenly passed from the darkness to the light realm, and finally she was no longer a projection trapped in the "interlayer".

Sunlight pours down from the windows of the zenith of the temple of the goddess Inanna.Yi Nan raised his face and could see the dust flying in the sunlight.

She stretched out her hand to block the sun, but found that the sun shone on her face honestly through her palm.Curiously, she covered her eyes with the palm of her hand, still seeing the fine dust flying freely in the air.

She sat up straight away, and she could see the backs of the saints, but she could no longer see Gilgamesh.

She tried to stand up, lowered her head, and saw the floor of the temple through her feet—Yinan straightened up and asked herself: Is she now a "transparent person"?

At this time, Gilgamesh should have left, and the saints standing in front of the temple steps to say goodbye slowly turned around.

Yi Nan faced the women, saw the surprise on their faces, and saw them rushing into the temple together—they came towards Yi Nan, left behind Yi Nan, and they passed directly through her body.

An exclamation sounded from behind her—after the women were surprised, they probably lamented that they failed to "take good care" of their blossoms again.

Yi Nan gave a wry smile, thinking: It seems that the bug of the magnetic field cannot be overcome so easily.She is now "unified with body and mind" and returned to Uruk in 2800 BC, but she has become a "transparent person" and no one else can see her.

But the first priority is to find Gilgamesh.Yi Nan didn't care about the surprise of the advocates, she walked out of the temple quickly, turned her head, just in time to see the little lion Hakish walking towards her with lion's steps, the lion's tail swung behind her, and then swung again— — She is very familiar with Hakesh's temper, such a gesture: proves that the lion cub is very happy now.

"Can you see me?" Yi Nan couldn't help but make a sound.

The faculties of animals sometimes surpass that of humans, and they can perceive what humans cannot perceive.But at this moment, the little lion was the first to discover her existence, and Yi Nan was relieved.

Hakesh grinned, came to Yinan's side, and slapped her hand a few times.But in the eyes of others, Hakesh may just stick his tongue out at the "air".

Yi Nan didn't care what others thought of him, so he quickly reached out and rubbed the big cat's head, and asked, "Do you know where your master is?"

Hakesh immediately turned around and ran quickly to the steps in front of the temple.Yi Nan quickly followed and said loudly, "Take me to your master."

One man and one lion walked among the Uruk people who came to the temple to mourn.People made way for the king's lion one after another, and at the same time felt a breeze pass by when the little lion passed by.

Soon, they soon saw Gilgamesh near a gate of Uruk.Sure enough, the lion cub found its owner following Gilgamesh's breath.

The young king of Uruk, who had galloped all night before and had just suffered such a sad blow, at this moment he was still like iron, took the horse from the Uruk guards beside him, and got on the horse.

Yi Nan was very anxious.Once Gilgamesh got on his horse and left the city, she couldn't catch up with Gilgamesh even with wings.

As if he understood what she meant, Hakesh rushed forward and yelled at Gilgamesh.

As a result, the horses under Gilgamesh's feet were a little weak, and they retreated again and again.Gilgamesh had no choice but to lower his head and reprimanded Hakesh, "Hakesh, go back!"

"The king is going to find the elixir that can bring the dead back to life. The king will definitely find it, and he will bring you back Dao who is alive and well."

When Gilgamesh said this, he raised his eyes to look at the other end of the road, as if he could see Inan, that delicate, naughty, but calm and powerful woman at critical moments.His face was full of determination, as if he was really sure that he would be able to find the elixir.

Hakesh was reprimanded by Gilgamesh, stopped in aggrieved way, stretched out his front paws, squatted back, and made a whining sound in his throat, as if he wanted to tell Gilgamesh something , but couldn't say it out, and it was very uncomfortable.

Gilgamesh tugged on the reins of his mount and forced the horse's head away so that the horse would not be frightened by Hakesh.

He hardened his heart and shouted: "It is not too late, the king must leave!"

But at this time Inan was still a few steps away from Gilgamesh.Gilgamesh couldn't see her at all, and she couldn't stop Gilgamesh even though she shouted her throat.

At this moment, Inan finally felt despair—where did their tacit understanding go? Could it be that the little subtle feeling that made Gilgamesh overcome her grief and stand up again at this moment also disappeared as she became "big transparent" disappeared?

She had a premonition: once they missed it now, the two of them would become lonely souls in this time and space forever. If they missed it, the bond between souls would disappear.

She was thinking this way, but she didn't realize that she was influenced by Daniel, and she included "soul" in her own cognitive category—scientific researchers shouldn't be so idealistic.

Panting heavily, she watched Gilgamesh urge his horses to gradually move away from the newly built gate of Uruk.

She feels hopeless.

Unexpectedly, at this time Gilgamesh jumped off his horse, walked a few steps forward, faced the direction of the Inanna Temple, and knelt down on one knee.

The king's guards and passers-by on the street hastily moved out of the way, leaving the right to greet the goddess Inanna to the king alone.

Only Gilgamesh said solemnly: "Honorable Venus Goddess Inanna, please forgive Gilgamesh for his rudeness just now."

Earlier, in the sanctuary of Inanna's temple, Gilgamesh had questioned the goddess aloud, asking her why she had punished his beloved.At the last moment before he left Uruk, he finally remembered to apologize and pray to the goddess.

"Dou must still be alive, so Gilgamesh once again sincerely asks you—"

"Since you created Duo, please continue to protect Duo."

"The king is willing to give everything for her."

When he got on the horse again, he felt a little more at ease in his heart.

Inan then hugged Gilgamesh's waist, followed him to leave Uruk, and went upstream along the Euphrates River again.

She's kind of thankful - Gilgamesh is still different to her.

Her current body is almost nothing to others, and the saints in the temple can pass through her body without hindrance.But here in Gilgamesh, she is like a magnetic pole meeting another magnetic pole. She can be firmly "adsorbed" behind him without worrying about being thrown off the horse.

Magnetic field, soul, memory...

Inan pressed his face against Gilgamesh's back, thinking that this man was indeed so special to her.

It's just that Gilgamesh didn't notice this, he even stretched out his hand to pat the horse's neck, and softly reprimanded the horse: "Old man, you don't seem to be very good at it!"

Yinan thought: This may be because the horse can feel that it is doing the work of two horses, but turns around and can only eat the fodder of one horse, so it has a little temper.

At this time, she finally had a chance to calm herself down a little, and memories flooded her mind one after another.

She knew this road. She once took a boat on the Euphrates River, came to Uruk from Sipar as a "citizen husband", and met Gilgamesh; Expedition to Amori, and then return to Uruk to defend the city.

But when did Gilgamesh see that she was a woman?

At least this guy hasn't found any signs in the tavern in Uruk—otherwise, with such a proud temper like the king, he would never have said something like "marry Enkidu when you marry a wife."

Yi Nan sincerely apologized to the person in front of him: At that time... At that time, I really didn't mean to deceive you.

Later, in the cedar forest of Amori, Gilgamesh accidentally ate a poisonous mushroom and met the little man, and told nonsense that she should turn into a woman and marry him.But once this guy woke up, he immediately apologized.

Inan didn't care, thinking that Gilgamesh still regarded him as a brother, and then the Akkadians attacked, and the two joined hands to defend the city, and Gilgamesh never had a chance to show his heart.

Until a bug appeared in the space-time tunnel... She never had the chance to appear in front of this man like a normal person.

But it was only then that she learned of Gilgamesh's full intentions.

Looking back now, there were some signs to be noticed, and even the attitude of the saints could explain the problem...but she really didn't notice it.

Inan asked himself: Gilgamesh treated her like this, what about her, did she treat this man with the same intention?

Her answer was...don't know.

In the past, she was unwilling to face such a problem, even if she felt the emotions flowing in her heart, she naturally avoided them.Now that she finally had to face it, it was overwhelmed by guilt.

O sad observer and hateful observer!

The mission on her body is like a bottomless chasm between her and Gilgamesh——

Even if she can hold Gilgamesh tightly, the gap remains.

Even though she has an endless life in this time and space, she still cannot accompany a certain person forever.This is the curse brought to her by "Longevity"-under this premise, she doesn't know how to repay the affection others have given her.

But at this moment, hugging this warm body, Yi Nan finally felt something sprouting in her heart, growing without bounds.

Gilgamesh returned along the same route, and Inan saw that his route should be towards Sipar.

Even though Gilgamesh is strong-willed and seems to be made of iron, after a day of running, he still chooses to rest for the night in a small village along the Euphrates River.

There were warriors from Uruk stationed here, and immediately provided the king with water, a place to rest, and replacement horses.

Gilgamesh ate his fill without knowing what to eat, lay down, and fell asleep.Yi Nan lay down opposite him as before, and found that he still opened his arms, and gently put his hand on her side as before—but now it seems to be a mass of void, which makes people feel surprised Nasal acid.

Just like that, Yi Nan stood across from him and watched quietly all night.

She would also think of young Dan and Dumuzi. They all left a deep impression on her, but no one was like Gilgamesh, who was nailed straight into her heart like a sharp nail, and she could never let go of it. .

Early the next morning, Gilgamesh continued on his way to Sipar. The "invisible" Inan is like a magnet, firmly adsorbing Gilgamesh and moving forward with him.

Soon, Gilgamesh returned to Sipar and met the Uruk warriors who had been with him the day before yesterday to encircle and suppress the Akkadians.

The soldiers reported to the king: "All the leaders of the Akkadians were captured, except for a slave who was specially used to lead the cattle for the leader escaped."

Gilgamesh was a little unbelievable: the leader was captured, but a slave escaped. Did the Akkadians value the life of the slave so much, and the leader covered the escape of the slave?

But that was the end of the matter, and holding the soldiers accountable would only cause useless panic.

"My lord, haven't you already returned to Uruk?" The soldiers looked at Gilgamesh suspiciously—their king gave up the task of tracking the Akkadians at the most critical moment the day before yesterday, and returned to Uruk alone. Luke, now rush back again.

Gilgamesh was very calm: "Yes, I went back to Uruk to deal with a very important matter. Now the king is going to Amori."

—to Amory?

The Uruk warriors were all surprised, but no one dared to ask.

Gilgamesh did go to Amori. It took several days to travel from Sipar to Amori. He traveled day and night again and arrived at Amori three days later.

Gilgamesh met the Archon of Amorites in the temple of the moon god Sin.

The consul was very surprised to see Gilgamesh coming alone—the king of Uruk had just defeated the fierce Akkadians and prevented a large number of civilians in the Euphrates River Valley from becoming slaves; The most powerful city-state is in full swing, while Gilgamesh is regarded as the "King of Heroes" and admired by all people.

But Gilgamesh said bluntly as soon as he opened his mouth: the king came to Amori neither to sacrifice to the moon god Sin, nor to buy Amori’s wood——“The king just went to the cedar forest via Amori.”

The consul of Amori didn't dare to ask, and only said that he would send a few hunters who were familiar with the path to follow.

But Gilgamesh refused directly: "The king is here for a little personal matter."

He refused all company, and even the horses were entrusted to the care of the Amorites.Alone, he walked towards the cedar forest along the road he remembered last time. When he was hungry, he ate some dry bread that he carried with him, and when he was thirsty, he drank some clear water in the mountain stream.Finally, he approached the fork in the road he had passed when he went to the cedar forest.

Inan naturally followed Gilgamesh inseparably.

She has always been curious: Gilgamesh vowed to find a medicine that can bring the dead back to life, so that she can return to the world and live forever.But where exactly would he find the drug?

It wasn't until Gilgamesh stood in front of the fork in the road that Inan suddenly realized.

She also remembered that when they went to the cedar forest, the hunters of Amori had introduced them to the two forked roads, one leading to the cedar forest, and the other leading to the place where the "prehistoric humans" who survived the flood lived.

Those who survived the great flood, it is conceivable, naturally have a long life and know the way to live forever.

Gilgamesh should have remembered this matter at that time, and was very curious about it-and Inan's "departure" directly pushed Gilgamesh to go in person to explore the mystery of "longevity".

Gilgamesh looked at the fork in front of him, looking a little hesitant.

At this moment, the wooden door of the cabin located in front of the fork opened with a "squeak", and an elderly woman came out.

"Sister Shahat!"

Yi Nan was surprised and delighted, thinking that her old man really moved here from Xipar.

But she was still a "transparent person" in front of Shahat. Aunt Shahat opened the door and was taken aback. She saw a handsome young man in luxurious clothes standing in front of her. She couldn't help staring at him up and down. He went down to look around, and finally asked, "Who are you?"

Gilgamesh raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and asked politely, "Are you the Sister Shahat that Duo talked about?"

His memory is very good. At the beginning, Yi Nan went back and forth in this cabin, so he almost stayed and waited.Gilgamesh remembered the name Inan said.

"My name is Gilgamesh, and I am the king of Uruk." Gilgamesh replied.

Sister Shahat immediately opened her eyes and stared at Gilgamesh, unable to speak for a long time.

Yi Nan thought to himself: The situation is not good.

Sister Shahat was full of misunderstandings about Gilgamesh—the last time she made a special trip to Sipar with Gilgamesh, and she also specially brought the clay tablet written by the holy call to Shahat, just to let Shahat Sister Hart dismisses her prejudice against Gilgamesh.

But due to fate, Sister Shahat missed them.

Gilgamesh didn't know all this, he only knew that Sister Shahat was Duo's elder.Shahat asked Gilgamesh to enter the house to rest. Although Gilgamesh had other thoughts, he still entered Mother Shahat's wooden house at his request.

The two sat opposite each other across a small firepit.In fact, Yi Nan sat horizontally between the two of them, looking left and right, but neither of them knew of her existence.

Shahat immediately asked about Yinan's recent situation.Gilgamesh bowed his head heavily and replied, "Something happened."

Sister Shahat was startled, her eyes were stern, she stretched out her hand, grabbed the robe on her chest in pain, and asked excitedly, "Is...is she dead?"

Yi Nan leaned forward to hug Sister Shahat, but her hand passed directly over Shahat's shoulder.

Sister Shahat had helped her selflessly, but she had no magnetic field or tacit understanding with her.

Gilgamesh lowered his head: "When I left Uruk, I had no breath... I came to Amori to find the elixir."

"The elixir?" Shahat was stunned.

"Yes, I want to find the people who have been living in this forest since the time of the great flood as soon as possible, and obtain the medicine that can make people immortal from them. I want to bring Doo back to life, and let her work with me, Together forever, live."

Shahat squeezed out a few words through his teeth: "So...you, did you die because of you?"

Gilgamesh was stunned. When he just got the news of Inan's death, his heart was full of grief and regret, which made him hardly have the time to find out why Inan died. Because of something that took his life, he was not in Uruk when she needed him most.

Thinking of this, Gilgamesh naturally showed guilt on his face.

As the king of Uruk, Gilgamesh would not push his faults away. He nodded with a sad expression, closed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "It's...it's because of the king..."

Sister Shahat suddenly let out a strange laugh, the laughter was so weird that Gilgamesh opened his eyes in surprise, and Inan, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but try to hug her arm again—naturally I held it empty again.

"Actually, the king doesn't need to go to the mountains again. I have medicines that can make people live forever." Aunt Shahat's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth were desperately raised, as if she was extremely excited.

"really?"

"Of course it's true." Shahat stared at Gilgamesh's eyes, with a stern smile on his lips. "After living here for a long time, it is inevitable that I will meet a few people who live in the mountains. They saw my old woman alone, and pointed me to some medicines that can not only make people live forever, but also bring people back to life."

Gilgamesh was overjoyed: "Can I ask the mother to give me the medicine? I'm going back now, and I should be able to save Dodo."

He blurted out the name "Dodo", and Sister Shahat's complexion changed a bit, she suddenly asked sharply: "So you know that Dodo is a girl?"

Yi Nan thought to himself: This time is really bad.Sister Shahat was already full of prejudice against Gilgamesh, and she must hate it even more now.She began to worry about what the "elixir of life" Shahat was talking about was.

As soon as her mind wandered, she missed what Gilgamesh said again.When she came back to her senses, Shahat's expression had returned to normal, and he even looked gentle and loving, and said softly, "So you want to rush back to Uruk immediately after you get the medicine, so that you can save Duo back to life! "

"My old lady, I misunderstood the king." Shahat bowed to Gilgamesh.

But the hatred in her eyes, Yinan would not admit it—prejudice plus misunderstandings, layers of misunderstandings made the old nanny only wish to kill the queen and be quick.

"My lord, please wait here. The old lady has gone to get the medicine and will come back."

Shahat turned and went out.

Only Gilgamesh and Inan were left in the room.Sitting beside him, Yi Nan reminded him loudly: "Dangerous! Don't stay here!" and "Sister Shahat is blinded by hatred, she will not give you the real elixir of life."

"Live forever, there is no such good thing in the world."

Inan yelled hoarsely, wishing he could spit and fly around like others when he was talking, and spray it on Gilgamesh's face to wake him up——

But things didn't go as planned, Gilgamesh let out a long breath, put his hands on his heart, closed his eyes slightly, and showed a little smile on his face.

He seemed very satisfied: contented to have finally found the medicine that could save a loved one from the abyss of death.

He seemed to be calculating: now he is rushing to Uruk, without sleep, there should be time... in time.

Inan stood up and ran over to Gilgamesh. She wanted to shake his arm and drag him out... She desperately spoke to Gilgamesh, she wanted to use her consciousness to communicate with this man...

But she didn't succeed in any of them.

The door of the wooden house opened, and Aunt Shahat walked in contentedly, holding two jade-white mushrooms in her hands.

——White toadstool, a famous and highly poisonous mushroom in the world.

Yi Nan recognized it at a glance. She really couldn't believe that Shahat smiled so naturally and joyfully, as if he was sincerely blessing Gilgamesh, hoping that he... could walk side by side with her on the road to eternal life. Walk and live a happy life forever.

"Can this... really bring Doo back to life?" Gilgamesh asked hesitantly.

"People in the flood era lived for thousands of years. How could they be wrong?"

"That's good, thank you for the medicine." Gilgamesh bowed to Shahat, "I'm going back to Uruk right now."

At this time, Shahat didn't hand him the mushroom right away, instead, the old woman said slyly: "Here are two elixir, why don't you take one first, and then bring another one to Duo? "

"In this way, the king can live forever. Wouldn't it be safer for you to bring another elixir to Duo?"

Gilgamesh thought about the logic: yes.

As a "two-thirds god and one-third human being", Gilgamesh knew that he was an ordinary person. For him, "longevity" was an irresistible temptation like marrying his beloved.

So he stretched out his hand, and Shahat handed him a white umbrella mushroom.Gilgamesh held the mushroom in his hand, and sniffed it a little, only to feel a strange fragrance.Gilgamesh believed Shahat's words even more.

Shahat stood beside him, smiling and encouraging.

"Eat it, and you will get what you want... eternal life!"

Inan was on the verge of going crazy: these two people were close to her, but at this moment, Sister Shahat felt hatred because of her, and tried to feed Gilgamesh the highly poisonous white mushroom.

Gilgamesh is a human being who can't resist toxins—as the king of Uruk, he doesn't know the mushrooms in front of him at all, and he may have never even seen the mushrooms before they were cooked.

However, Yi Nan was trapped by the damn magnetic field, unable to appear in front of these two people, unable to prevent human beings from killing each other due to misunderstanding.

She saw Gilgamesh bring the white umbrella mushroom to her mouth with her own eyes, smelled it, and was about to speak.

Her heart was in her throat - but there was always a voice in her heart, reminding her: keep calm, use wisdom, she can do it.

Thoughts in Yinan's mind turned quickly, and she immediately realized that her dilemma was that she could touch animals, but humans couldn't see, hear, or feel her.

Whenever there is an animal here—

Yi Nan looked around, and suddenly saw a snake crawling in from the wall of a corner of this wooden house, a non-poisonous green snake, but about one meter long, swimming around the corner secretly.

There was no time to hesitate.Yi Nan reached out decisively, picked up the snake, flung it, and threw it at Gilgamesh and the white umbrella mushroom in his hand.
