[comprehensive] dear king

The last time I came to this city, its walls were still in dilapidated condition. They had been cleaned and ravaged by wars. If Gilgamesh hadn’t traveled far away, he had strengthened it countless times, and he was in the palace again. There is an objective amount of food and grass left in the city. This city may not have the strength to resist the army for too long.

After all, it was once the brightest pearl on the banks of the Euphrates, and although it was once dusty, it is now shining again.

Mesannepada looked at the city. Like the rulers of other cities, he was invited by Gilgamesh to come to Uruk. Several people were a little uneasy. It is unavoidable for people who have experienced something to have fear and ghosts in their hearts.

But all the people with outstanding abilities in this world either abandon the intrigues and tricks of human beings because they are too powerful, or they have very little desire for human beings because of their lofty ideals, or they ignore their achievements because they are extremely outstanding in one aspect. People's thoughts are just like Gilgamesh's father, Lugalbanda, but Gilgamesh is an exception. He is not only strong in himself, but also has an undisguised desire like an abyss, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy it. it--

If you want to say something, it's probably just being indifferent.

Ever since he came back, he has been waiting for the days when the fall will be settled every day, and this kind of life is not easy.

Uruk is full of prosperity and joy. There are restaurants on the street. In the restaurant, there are dancers singing and playing the piano, beating tambourines, and the spinning footsteps bring up the corners of the skirts to reveal the white and tender ankles and the bells on them. The newly designed streets are spacious and clean. There are no crowded stalls on both sides, and the vendors are concentrated in the west area of ​​the new city, and the bustling hustle and bustle spreads from the west area to the east area.

Whoever comes to this city will come to the conclusion that this is a city full of laughter and happiness.

Sitting in the chariot leading to the palace, Mesangepada was filled with jealousy.

Yes, he didn't deny that he was jealous of this city, no matter how it was ravaged|ravaged, no matter how dilapidated it was, it would always be able to regain its brilliance.

King Aga of Kish came a while earlier than him. This elderly senior stood unswervingly on the side of Uruk who lost the king a few years ago. I can't help but say that this is also the wisdom of the elderly. Well, that's how wise people can receive the favor of the gods and be given longevity.

"Hello, young man." Aga greeted Mesangnepada first, but the latter couldn't avoid it, so she could only turn her head and nodded to him, "Long time no see, Aga King." After returning the salute, he sat aside, and Ajia didn't seem to be annoyed by this junior's behavior, but went to greet others instead.

They were gathered in the hall, waiting for the Lord who summoned them to come here to appear, but it is not yet the appointed time.

"I'm probably still snoozing on the bed." Mesangnepada thought this way, he still remembered the last time, and the only time he saw Gilgamesh, the man standing on top of everything The appearance of indulging in beauty and pleasure, some things in this world are like this, some people are born to stand on the highest point, without any effort to have what you want but can't get in your life.

Mesannepada was still a teenager at that time, but now more than ten years have passed in a flash, he has also grown a beard, has children and wives, and Gilgamesh is probably in his 40s.It's like Aga on one side is over 60 years old and can give birth to a daughter with a young concubine, but Gilgamesh has no heirs. This is indeed a relief.

After all, as the flesh and blood of a powerful king, he must be able to continue his powerful rule even after his father's death.

"How many times has this king said that these things should be sent to Beicheng immediately, yes, they were demolished, all of them were demolished, and they were demolished just after they were built. I don't have time to explain to you, so do as you say!" Gilga King Mesh's majestic voice moved from far to near, but he was talking about something else. The lords who had been sitting in the hall stood up, and when they looked up, they saw Gilgamesh sitting on the throne. Staring at them with the same red eyes as in the past, his gaze swept across all the neighboring lords present, and finally fell on Mesang Nepada.

The latter was stunned by his gaze.

——More than ten years have passed, Gilgamesh should be at least 40 years old, but he doesn't look old, on the contrary, he still looks like he is in his 20s, but he is less angry than before , Meisannepada’s eyes involuntarily fell on the woman behind the king who covered her face with a veil—maybe it’s more appropriate to call it a girl, the girl who left Uruk for a long-distance travel when Gilgamesh left Uruk. At that time, he once launched a war to capture the girl, but failed.

There are no traces of age on the girl's forehead, showing the gap between her and humans.

Since Kaori's body came to Uruk, the years have lost its effect on her. She quietly watched Siduri, who was about the same age as her, grow taller, and the first fine lines appeared in the corners of her eyes. The first baby born since Gilgamesh left has grown from being able to be held in her arms to being as tall as her.

The years only left traces around her, but left eternal youth to the puppet.

"I didn't call you here to settle what you did when I was away, so don't be so nervous." Gilgamesh looked at the city-state lords in front of him, "Although I don't intend to settle, But it’s not so magnanimous as to let it go completely.”

——This is very much the way he did things when he was a child.Hearing what he said, Aga couldn't help thinking of what happened when he fought against the young and wise king Gilgamesh. After that, although the young and wise king spared his life, he gave him Put on a dog leash and swear to serve Uruk forever.

What a brat full of bad water.

"The king summoned you here to form an alliance with you to deal with the coming disaster."

Pushing everything on a young girl is in itself a lack of dignity and reason, even if it will still come to that step in the end, pushing the girl without any resistance, such a soft-boned thing, whether it is Gilga Neither Mesh nor Uruk could do it.

It is impossible to resist the disaster that envelops the entire "origin of human civilization" with his own strength. After thinking for a long time, he chose the path he will embark on now.Abandon the title of "King of Heroes", together with all the human beings in this land, completely from the side of the gods to the side of the people - to fight with them.

"It's okay to cry bitterly, and it's okay to run away. People can't choose the attitude towards their own end for others, but this king is standing here at this moment, extending an invitation to you," the supreme king stretched out his hand, "together Let's fight together."

At that moment, the man standing in front of the throne was so dazzling that people couldn't look directly at it, and the words poured out of his mouth seemed to have the magic power to incite people's hearts.

--Yes.

--Yes.

This man is like this, standing at the highest place, seeing the farthest, and being the most unattainable, that's why he has an irresistible charm.

Filled with jealousy and longing, Mesangnepada, like other lords, bowed to the owner of the Euphrates Pearl on one knee.

Kaori turned her head to look at Gilgamesh, but the latter didn't look at her.

After coming out of the main hall, Gilgamesh immediately planned to rush to the northern city. He had to ensure that the original buildings in the northern city had been demolished before he could build a stronger fortification there. Li and Du Li deal with the aftermath of astrology together.

Before leaving, he fumbled in a bag for a long time, not knowing what he was touching, so Kaori couldn't help but say, "Let me help you find it, or it will be too late." She looked Looking at the chariot going to Beicheng, "You don't plan to take Vimana again, do you?" Vimana's words can indeed reach Beicheng in an instant.

"No, I plan to dispose of some other things along the way." Gilgamesh shook his head, "Look around the streets, hospitals, and schools—" He handed the bag in his hand to Kaori He muttered to himself and walked away.

Kaori looked at the bag in her hand that was about the size of a tsundere Gilgamesh's head, and found it wasn't heavy at all. Although it looked bulging, it wasn't as heavy as she imagined. To the extent, what is he looking for in there?

With curiosity, Kaori opened the bag, and found that it was full of... linen thread.

... Is he bored looking for a thread of different thickness in a pile of flax threads?When Siduri leaned over and saw the bag of flax thread, her face turned green, "It's still less work." She commented.

"No." Kaori reached into the bag, touched it for a while with the feeling of a child looking for treasure, and finally felt a round and hard foreign object under the layers of linen threads. I feel that there is a touch of warmth, and the size is also——

Xun Er squeezed the foreign body tightly, suddenly felt a little acid on the tip of her nose, and a little heat in her eye sockets.

"What? What's wrong?" Siduri asked worriedly.

"No—it's nothing, this—this guy—" Kaori covered her mouth and choked out sobs, and slowly opened her right hand that was holding something.

In the palm of her hand lay a ring carved from lapis lazuli quietly.

The Venus above is like golden sand sprinkled in the night sky.

——The night sky like longing, the oath like Venus.

It shines brightly and never goes out.

The author has something to say:

Romantic lapis lazuli, representing the sky, communicating human beliefs and primitive gods

It is also a prop for courtship and swearing.

[No. 11, line 165 of the clay tablet talks about the coming of the goddess Belet-ili: she held up the lapis lazuli necklace made for her by the god Anu for courtship, and (swear) said: "Oh, gods, let me The great beads on the necklace make me remember these days and never forget!"]

Because of the religious nature of lapis lazuli, in myths and legends, there is a plot where the goddess swears by it, and the girl's heart explodes. Made lapis lazuli necklace.

The one who gives the gift appeals to the one who receives it.

And the recipient swears by the great bead on this necklace that I remember every moment, every minute, every movement of you when you gave me this.

This love shines like the Venus on the lapis lazuli, never to be extinguished.
