The ancient city of Uruk.

Located on the right bank of the lower reaches of the Euphrates River in southern Mesopotamia, where the Sumerians settled.Corresponding to modern times, the location is approximately in Iraq.

In the 24th century BC, King Lugal of Uma established this city here, and it was also the capital of the Sumerian country he established here.

Continuing to the 27th century BC, the fifth king was named Gilgamesh, one of the three famous ancient Sumerian heroes.The era he lived in was just the transition period from primitive communal society to slavery society, so he was also a king with mixed reputations.

As ruler, subjects resent the fact that they themselves have to obey him to perform a lot of work, not to mention his preemptive rights over the women of the city.It is undeniable that he considered the city and its subjects to be his own property.

But he is also brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly resisted the aggression from monsters and invaders from other regions. Those who worship him respect him, obey him, and think it is an honor to serve him.

Gilgamesh himself regarded this as an obligation.The city and its subjects are all its own property, and of course I will not allow others to use my property, and it is only natural to fight for it.

But, again, he doesn't respect his men much.Should that be called a subordinate?It should be said that all the people are his personal slaves, items that are more precious than ordinary items, and how to use these items is entirely up to him.

This is the king of Gu Uruk. He is domineering and willful, even cruel, but he is the one who built and protected the city and even the whole country. The people have resentment and respect for him, and they love and hate this king .

However, from the perspective of King Uma, such a development is also an inevitable result.Sumer already possessed cuneiform script and had its own culture, but only high-level rulers had the leisure and knowledge to learn and apply in writing.

Ordinary people who are farming or responsible for construction and other daily work have very narrow needs for writing. This may be unimaginable in a society where most people are literate, but you must know that productivity and transportation were severely limited at that time. People The things they do every day are almost fixed, and writing does play a certain role in their lives, but it is much lighter than modern times.

Only the ruler, from the purpose of management, will need some ruling officials to master writing like himself.

In this era, for ordinary people, knowledge really lacks usage scenarios and the need to spend time learning.

Then it is conceivable that a king who has the knowledge of the previous king as a basis and has learned all kinds of knowledge since childhood, compared with ordinary people, naturally has a serious ideological gap.

Not only because the brain is a process of continuous learning and exercise, but also because a lot of precious knowledge is passed down from the fathers - the previous king, who has accumulated governance experience since the founding of the country.

The secret inheritance of knowledge ensures the uniqueness of the rule, allowing the ruling class to be the king for generations.

But correspondingly, it also caused the king himself to inevitably become arrogant and arrogant.

This is why most of the people believe that Gilgamesh is the son of God, and all the wisdom and knowledge he possessed were unimaginable to the common people under the conditions of productivity at that time.

Even Gilgamesh himself felt that civilians and himself were like two different species.

He had to train some talents himself, but most of those talents came into contact with various education and writing after they became adults. Even if they reduced Wang's workload in running the country, the young Wang still felt that they were dull.

Yes, as you can imagine, most of the time smart people get used to their own thinking patterns, they don't think they are smart, they think it's something that everyone should think about, and other people are too dumb.

Just like forcing everyone to build city walls and temples and other labor labor, the king is not in the mood to explain to his subordinates why he did it—the point is, he explained, and these idiots will not understand why he wastes such money. time?

In modern times, you will understand that the purpose of building city walls is to defend the city, and the purpose of building temples is to use spiritual beliefs to unite the people.Even in modern times, countries without theology will have various political and spiritual programs to maintain their rule, and even a small company will have a company charter to ensure that the company can operate around its core.

Inevitably, there will be investment in infrastructure construction that is difficult to see returns in the short term, and these are the parts that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Wang, who was not understood and was too lazy to explain, naturally seemed unreasonable and even cruel.In addition, he does regard the people as his own property, which makes the people even more fearful and dissatisfied.

No one persuaded the king, because he himself was the apex of the social structure.Except his mother.

Although it is said that he is the son of the goddess Ninsun in the legend and possesses half-human and half-god abilities, the phenomenon of the ruler being mythical has occurred in many countries in various ages.Of course he has a real human mother, and his human mother has a degree of precognition, which is called a witch or dream.

Her son obviously inherited this ability, even better than her.

Even in modern times, there are such people, their perception is more sensitive than ordinary people, and they can indeed feel the "future" in some forms.If human beings live in a river formed by information, then the fluctuations transmitted by the stones thrown into the water surface called the future in front of them will emerge on the water surface called the present, which makes some sensitive creatures living in it more or less Perceived, it is not so uncommon.

This is Gilgamesh, the hero king in history, but now he is just a stubborn king who is feared by the people.

But just a few days ago, something happened. A hunter who lived in the forest on the outskirts of the city visited Wang.He told the king that a "monster" appeared in the area where he lived. His strength was comparable to that of elves, and he wandered in the mountains and danced with wild beasts.The hunter's traps are always destroyed by 'monsters', and the hunter's prey is released, making it difficult for the hunter to continue to make a living.The hunter prayed for the king's help, not daring to confront the 'monster' himself.

"Monster? Heh, it should be a savage who was squeezed out by some tribe and lived alone."

As soon as Wang heard the description, he made a preliminary inference.Unlike the people who have never left the safe zone of their lives, he knows that there are cities where he has established a country and let the people work and live together.Wouldn't it be like a monster if you put a person in the jungle and let him live freely, never groomed, covered in mud and with long hair mopping the floor?

But there was no similar existence near his territory before, and it must have migrated from other places.As for not being afraid of animals, it should be a kind of ability that the other party has naturally evolved after living in the jungle for a long time. Most of them also regard themselves as animals.

"Heh, you take a prostitute back and let the prostitute approach him while he's drinking water, so that that guy can feel the charm that only humans have—presumably he will be abandoned by wild beasts soon."

For a solitary person to give up his life in the wild and join the city, a woman is naturally the best bait.

The wise and astute king judged so.

As long as the bait is sweet enough and the other party's trust is gained, he can bring this wild man who is said to have great strength back to his sphere of influence and make him his own fighting force.

Population represents productivity and combat effectiveness. A savage who can scare experienced hunters must be very good. Let him come to this city and let him see the beauty of human civilization, and he will naturally become a member of the city's citizens.

The king has absolute confidence in the country he rules and in his city.He believes that no matter who comes here and sees this city, they will be fascinated by it. This is the courtyard belonging to the king—my courtyard, and everyone who sees it will be amazed by it!

This is what happened just a few days ago.

……

…………

With the help of Diarmuid, Satoru finally found the river and the source of water.

Diarmuid told him that judging whether water can be used or not depends on the creatures in the water.If there are many substances such as water snails in the water, it means that there are many sludge and impurities in the water, which is not suitable for drinking.On the contrary, if it is a crustacean, such as shrimp swimming, it is evidence of excellent water quality, because shrimp has very high requirements for water quality and is more sensitive to changes in water quality.

Dangerous carnivorous animals are often entrenched near drinkable water streams. Generally, herbivores and humans live near water sources but not close to water sources. Danger.

Diarmuid also has a wealth of camping experience. Even if it is a plant or fruit that he has never seen before, he can deduce whether it is edible through some characteristics.

"Aren't you too omnipotent?" Wu Zi couldn't help but sigh, "Is there anything you can't do?"

Diarmuid replied sincerely: "Yes. I have a very fatal weakness."

Wuzi: "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked."

Diarmuid: "It doesn't matter, in fact, even if I don't say it, you will know, in fact, I—Master?"

Diarmuid noticed that Satoshi suddenly looked in a certain direction, with a strange expression, as if seeing a scene of earth-shattering.

Diarmuid also looked at the past, but there was only the jungle in front of him. He quickly realized that his master had excellent eyesight and could see farther than the heroic spirit.

"Is there an enemy ahead? I'll go check it out!"

"Wait--!"

Satoru stretched out his hand to stop him, but Diarmuid's figure had disappeared before his eyes.

Enlightenment of the Six Paths, fell silent again.

Soon he saw Diarmuid appearing at the end of the field of vision, near the scene that shocked him so much that his expression collapsed just now.

Diarmuid, who arrived at the destination, hid his body in the air, but he also fell silent when he saw the scene in front of him.

He saw a hunter, hiding in the shadows like himself.

The hunter is observing something nervously, as if preparing to catch a big prey in the early stage of observation work.

The objects he observed were two people.

One of them was entangled with a beautiful and plump naked woman, rolling on the ground.

At this time, the hero in the Celtic myth wanted to jump out and question them: What are you doing, what did you show my underage master? !
