After crossing, I inherited Uruk

The sky is clear and clear blue, and occasionally a few white birds fly across the sky, and wherever they go, there is freedom.

Under the blowing of the breeze, a few thin clouds that had previously blocked the scorching sun moved forward slowly.The light penetrates the clouds, and the warm sun pours down on the earth without hesitation.

"Uh..." The boy sitting in the back seat of the donkey cart didn't make a sound. He stretched out his hand and pulled down the white hood that covered most of his face, but the exposed part was different from most Sumerians. On his face, which was much fairer than his complexion, the slightly curved thin lips still revealed his true emotions.

"You're awake."

Although he didn't speak, his movements after waking up inevitably produced subtle noises, which quickly attracted the attention of drivers.

It was a boy who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, with black hair and healthy wheat-colored skin, which is not uncommon in Mesopotamia.

He turned his head and showed a hearty smile to the people in the car.

"Did you get dazzled by the sun?"

"Yeah..." Anyone who is forcibly awakened in a dream will feel depressed.The person sitting in the car responded in a low voice, obviously not interested.

Although because of the deliberate cover of the hood, it is impossible to see his appearance clearly.But the voice of the child who has not changed his voice is too distinctive, even if he deliberately lowers his voice, it still easily reveals the childishness unique to children.

Whether judging from the immature timbre or the petite figure, there is no doubt that the person sitting in the car is a young child.

"That's a pity."

The boy driving the car turned his head again, paying attention to the route ahead, but he still didn't forget to say something, saying regret.But the tone of voice is really light that anyone can hear.

"However, this is a rare good weather during this period. In this way, we should be able to reach the city of Nippur before dark."

"This is so rare..."

The boy sitting in the carriage muttered, but still didn't say much.

This is the cradle of Mesopotamian civilization, where ancient civilizations developed on the fertile Mesopotamian plains between two rivers, the Tigris and the Euphrates.

Both Uruk, to which the two belong, and Nippur, which is about to arrive, are both located in the southern part of the Two Rivers Civilization—that is to say, the dry climate and scarce rainfall are the norm here.

Although I was really not proficient in geography before.But anyway, I have lived in this world for so many years, and I have a deep feeling for the nature of the climate.

It is dry, hot and rainless, but because of the existence of the two rivers, it will become an area suitable for human living and civilization development.

For this place, the presence of water is extremely important.And the city-states in the Sumerian region did carry out wars of all kinds, large and small, around water rights, and even one of the primitive gods in Mesopotamian mythology.

Apsu, who exists as the original god of all things, also has the godhead of freshwater god. Apsu means Abzu in Sumerian language. Ab means water, and zu means deep. The /name represents groundwater.

This shows the importance of water sources.

Ah, I accidentally thought too far.

However, under the influence of this kind of climate, it has rained for a long time in succession in the past few days, which is really abnormal.

There is always a very bad feeling.

……

Forget it, don't think about it anymore.

Maybe it was the boy who was driving the car who misunderstood something because of the long silence when the boy was distracted. He turned his head again, reminding kindly like any good brother would tell his naughty younger brother: "If you are still sleepy, you can come back again. Sleep for a while? I'll wake you up when we reach Nipur."

"I'm not sleepy anymore." The boy retorted subconsciously at first, and then asked in a low voice after a short silence, "But you...are you not tired? If you are tired, I can drive for you. You can rest for a while. "

"Oh, Your Highness, are you worried about me?" The young man was taken aback when he heard the words, and showed a surprised expression at random.

It's just that his eyes glanced at the boy quite deliberately, his wording said respect, but his tone was full of jokes, and he said something that hurt little but was extremely insulting, "No, no, I will I’m not tired anymore. Besides, how dare I ask His Royal Highness who is not as tall as a donkey to drive—”

"Are you looking for a beating, Ariane?"

"Hahaha, please forgive me Your Highness, I was wrong." The brown-skinned boy named Ariane smiled heartily, turned his head and looked at the front of the road again, "So as an apology, I will be punished for my rest time Your Highness, let’s drive. I won’t stop until I reach Nippur City, okay?”

"up to you……"

The boy turned his head, muttered again, closed his eyes and shrank in the carriage, ignoring him.

He didn't feel angry because of this, but he really didn't know how to face other people's kindness.

He has a good relationship with Ariane, so of course he can't tell the difference between the little friend's jokes and the kindness hidden behind them.

not to mention……

【How could I let His Highness drive the car himself... I just need to do this kind of thing myself.But the little His Highness is so cute, and he still cares about me because of this kind of thing... He is really a gentle person, worthy of His Highness! 】

That's what this guy actually has in his heart.

The boy's face was mostly covered by the hood.Thanks to this, the boy who was traveling with him didn't notice that his cheeks were faintly flushed because of this overly straightforward compliment.

After coming to this world, he discovered that he had the ability to see through the inner thoughts of others.

The reason why it is said to see through rather than read is because his ability is actually different from the so-called mind reading skills. The inner thoughts he sees are actually displayed in words in a way similar to narration or monologue. Beside the person who is watching.

This ability is controllable, and he doesn't have any weird habit of peeping into other people's hearts. He couldn't help but use this age just now because he was worried about the teenager. Thinking of it, I saw a rainbow fart rushing towards my face...

What a terrible belief, is this the position of kingship?

The boy—whose real name is now Ur-nungal—sighed inwardly.

He was originally just an ordinary middle school student who can be seen everywhere, but he lost his life after being involved in a certain incident. When he woke up again, he found that he was reincarnated with his memory.

Wait, it doesn't seem right to say reincarnation.Which person is reincarnated in the past?What a frightening time span to suddenly go from the 21st century to BC!

So compared to reincarnation, his situation seems more like... time travel?

The time in which he is now is the First Dynasty of Uruk in 2600 BC, and the current status is a list of cities in the adjacent areas of Mesopotamia, as well as the rulers and reigns. The ancient text Sumer Only one name is recorded in the King List, Urningal, the sixth king of the First Dynasty of Uruk.

According to the records in the "King Watch", Urningal reigned for 30 years.

The five kings before him all reigned for more than 100 years.Even his current grandfather Lugalbanda's reign time is ridiculous, 1000 to [-] years...

Although the records on the "Wang Biao" are not necessarily accurate.But...it is true that since Urningal's generation, subsequent kings have reigned for a relatively short period of time, at least six years.

Then, in less than 150 years, the first dynasty of Uruk was completely destroyed.

"Uh..." Since my (Urningal) generation has started to decline, it's really not good no matter what you think.

But... these things should be too early for him now...probably...

After all, as Ariane said before, Urningal is not as tall as a donkey now, and looks like a child about ten years old... although he is indeed not very old now.

He had just passed through that time, his consciousness was very vague, and he was in a daze when he was a baby.Even my specific life experience was told to me by the priestess who was responsible for taking care of me.

After losing his best friend Enkidu, Gilgamesh embarked on a journey to find the herbal medicine that can make people live forever——

Urningal, who was a history buff who knew a thing or two about various legends, had certainly heard of this story before the time travel.But he didn't expect that he could still have something to do with this matter.

King Gilgamesh spent a lot of time looking for herbs.He left Uruk and trekked to a distant place.

Uruk, which lost the management of the king, gradually fell into decline and chaos.

Perhaps because the country cannot be left alone, or because the kingship needs to be inherited, the gods created a child for Gilgamesh to inherit his blood.

When Urningal heard about this for the first time: "..."

The subway, the old man, looking at the phone.jpg

No matter how you think about it, it's wrong!

Leaving aside why there are gods in the world, according to the "Epic of Gilgamesh", the tyrant had wives and children.

What's more, Ur has indeed learned from other Uruk city names that King Gilgamesh, who went looking for jelly grass but disappeared and may not even know that he wants to be a father, is indeed a bully The tyrant of the domineering girl is right, this is exactly as described in the epic.

Since it is indeed that Gilgamesh is right, how could it be necessary for the gods to personally create humans because they have no blood.

But later, King Gilgamesh returned to Uruk, and Ur's own age also experienced a transformation from being hugged by important people to crawling all over the ground, and finally running around on his own short legs.

And after personally inspecting it, he also had to admit that his face was slapped, because his current biological father——

Gilgamesh, the fifth king of the first dynasty of Uruk, he... did not have any other children besides him.

Things like Three Views...you get used to it as you break it.Later, when he saw for the first time the noble King Gilgamesh use the king's treasure scene.

Because the pupil quake was too obvious, he was unceremoniously laughed at by his father for a long time, tsk.

So, although I haven't seen the gods with my own eyes.But Ur, who has been slapped in the face since childhood, thinks so.If a god really popped up one day, I wouldn't be surprised by it.

Magic, monsters, gods, age of gods, elves, magic power... Sure enough, there is something wrong with the world he travels through, right?By the way, is this really a serious history?

However, things like time travel have happened, and the above is not unacceptable.

Rather, after all, he was only a middle school student before time travelling, at the age of youth and enthusiasm, so it is quite normal to be interested in magic and the like after time travelling.So after he came to this world, the most unacceptable existence was——

Sumerian and Sumerian writing.

In terms of writing, many Sumerian writings do not contain all the grammatical structures of modern society, and are inherently obscure.

In terms of language, Urningal learned Sumerian relatively slowly because he was already accustomed to using his original mother tongue. Coupled with the inertia of thinking, he would subconsciously present what he wanted to say in the form of his mother tongue. Then slowly translate it into Sumerian and express it to others.

So in order not to expose his slow-talking shortcomings as much as possible, at that time Ur simply showed a taciturn appearance and didn't like to talk. Those who could answer with one or two words would never say a word.

Although this was overcome after he gradually grew up to the age of eight or nine.But he's also gotten into the habit over the years.

Although compared with before, he can say a lot more now.But more often than not speaking, he still prefers to slander and complain in his heart.In the eyes of others, it has become a cold appearance.

But this indifference has been indifferent for ten years. Before he knew it, he had lived in Uruk for so many years.

Although it is different from the previous life, this is an era without computers, mobile phones, and the Internet, but——

Undeniably...

He has fallen in love with this place for the past ten years or so.
