The Troubles of the Holy Maiden [Comprehensive]

Fulan and her party of three rushed to the border of Uruk with light clothes.Fran asked Enkidu and the others to lead the way to the village where they found the monster.

As soon as he entered the village, the village head led the villagers to surround him. They looked very bad and looked terrified.

Fran asked the elders of the village, and learned that after Gilgamesh and the others left, another woman died in the village, and the body was still parked in the victim's home.Hearing this, Fulan quickly asked the villagers to lead the way, intending to check the condition of the corpse herself.

The victim was an unmarried teenage girl and the only child of her parents.The couple loved their only daughter very much and couldn't bear to bury her, so the body was still placed in the girl's room.

The weather in Uruk was very hot. Fran thought that what she would see was a rotten and smelly corpse, but she didn't expect that when she arrived in the mortuary room, she didn't smell any obvious stench.

The body of the deceased was placed on the bed, covered with a layer of linen, and only a human figure was vaguely revealed.

Fran comforted the crying and out of breath family members of the deceased, promising that they would find the murderer.Then the linen was removed from the body.

The condition of the corpse was somewhat different from what Fran expected. The deceased had been dead for two days, but there was no sign of corruption on his body, probably because it was a mummy.The girl's supposedly youthful and plump cheeks became black and shriveled, and the original plump figure was only skinny. The whole person seemed to have shrunk, like a child's mummy.

Fran carefully checked the remaining power fluctuations on the corpse, but the deceased had been dead for two days, and the power fluctuations had already dissipated, and there was almost nothing to catch.

Fran gently covered the shroud, and asked Enkidu and Gilgamesh who were standing aside: "What do you think?"

Gilgamesh frowned in disgust and said, "How ugly!"

Fran glared at him when she heard this, "Can you show some respect to the dead? She used to be your subject!"

Gilgamesh pursed his lips and fell silent.Enkidu on the side was thoughtful, hesitated and said, "I seem to feel a little bit of divine power."

"What?!" Fran was extremely surprised. She checked again through the shroud, her brows slightly frowned.Fran then looked at Gilgamesh and said, "Gill, I'm not sensitive to divine power, can you come and have a look?"

Gilgamesh hugged his chest, raised his chin and laughed, "Hahaha, I still have to rely on this king! This king is so omnipotent!"

Fran rolled her eyes inwardly and made way for her.

After a while, Gilgamesh's complexion also became serious.He stood up straight and said, "It is indeed divine power." After speaking, he looked at Fran: "But the strange thing is that the monster I encountered that day did not have the breath of God."

Enkidu had a question mark on his face: "Could it be that there are two monsters? Are the killing methods similar?"

Fran's face became more solemn: "If God is involved, the matter will be difficult to deal with." She looked at the two and said, "We must find out the identity of the monster as soon as possible before we can decide the corresponding countermeasures."

Gilgamesh said impatiently: "Who cares? Just kill it!"

Fran disapproved and said: "Jill, you have to understand that both you and Enkidu's identities are sensitive. Especially Enkidu, as a creation of God, he is subject to God. If the situation permits, try not to enmity with God."

Gilgamesh frowned: "Okay, I understand, so what are you going to do?"

Fran took out the mask Enkidu gave her, and said softly, "Lure that monster out."

------------------

Gilgamesh and Enkidu, who were waiting outside the door, finally saw Fran coming out after changing clothes, and the two couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Fran, who came out, put on the coarse linen clothes worn by ordinary peasant girls. Her blond hair was braided into big braids, revealing her two slender and fair arms.

Gilgamesh shook his head: "It doesn't look like a country girl at all, it's more like a princess in distress."

Fran picked up the mask and put it on her face. After a while, the originally beautiful woman turned into an ordinary delicate girl.Fran restrained her aura again, and relaxed her dignified demeanor.

Gilgamesh nodded this time: "It's okay, it looks much more normal now." He looked Fran up and down, rubbed his chin lightly, and smiled evilly: "Don't say it, your appearance is also good." Don't have a taste."

Fran walked past Gilgamesh and stepped on his foot hard.Ignoring Gilgamesh who was jumping behind her, Fran looked at Enkidu: "Enkidu, you should hide these few days and try not to show your face outside. Look at Gilgamesh and don't let him cause trouble."

For the next few days, Fulan lived in the village pretending to be an ordinary village woman. She deliberately made a show, hoping that the monster would notice and attack her.According to the previous rule, this monster often commits crimes after dark, and it targets women who are alone.

After walking at night for several days, Fran finally found the stalker one night, so she walked calmly to the place she had arranged before, trying to lead the unknown stalker into the trap.

Who knows, the trap did catch the stalker, but it wasn't the expected monster.

Fran frowned and looked at the terrified man in the trap, and asked angrily, "Who are you? Why are you following me?"

Gilgamesh looked down at the man in the trap unhappily, his eyes could kill people: "I don't think he is a good person, just kill him!"

The man controlled by the trap explained loudly in fear: "No, I'm not a bad person! I just, I just followed her because I was worried that it would be unsafe for her to walk at night!"

Enkidu squatted beside the trap, crossed his legs and said, "He should be telling the truth. When he approached the village entrance, he also kept a certain distance from Fran, and he didn't intend to catch up."

The man nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I am from a neighboring village. I just think she is very beautiful, and I am worried that something will happen to her at night, so I follow her. I will leave when I arrive at the entrance of the village."

Gilgamesh sneered, "Tsk tsk, Fran, you can still make men fall in love with you after you look like this!"

Fran gave Gilgamesh a blank look, and said to Enkidu: "Let him go, no matter what he does, he is not the point now." Looking at the exposed trap, Fran said helplessly: " Really, it's a waste of time."

After returning to the village, she entered the small courtyard arranged by the village. As soon as she closed the courtyard door, Fran felt a dark shadow rush towards her from behind.

Fran dodged to the side flexibly, avoiding the pounce of the shadow.

Under the pale moonlight, Fran saw the attacker's true face.

It was a monster that looked like a woman. Her figure was very tall, a bit taller than ordinary men, but her posture was like a beast. She had very thick curly black hair, long and messy. The hair covered most of her face, only she could see the glowing red eyes.She was dressed in grass-like clothes, and her hands and feet had long, hook-like, sharp nails that reflected sharp light in the moonlight.

The monster saw that the blow was not enough, and rushed towards Fran again.

Fran picked up the stick by the door and met the attacking claws.

With a thud, the thick wooden stick was cut off by the monster's sharp claws like cutting cheese. Fran was short, avoided another blow from the monster, and ran to the other direction of the yard.

The monster followed Fran at an extremely fast speed. Although its claws were long, it did not leave any obvious marks on the ground.

Fran's heart trembled: "This monster is very good at hiding its tracks, we can't let it get away. '

Suddenly the door was kicked open, and Enkidu and Gilgamesh rushed in, heading straight for the monster.

The monster looked like a helper and didn't want to fight. He resolutely gave up attacking Fulan, climbed up the wall with all hands and feet, quickly passed the wall, and disappeared in an instant.

The sky lock that Enkidu flung in the air missed, and when he was about to chase after the monster, Fran said: "Don't chase, it's too late, it's very good at hiding, and it's fast. In the wilderness at night Here, if you pursue them, you will be easily ambushed."

Gilgamesh frowned: "Is this the way to let this bastard escape? It took so much effort to find it."

Fran shook her head: "It's okay, I used a tracking spell on it just now, and I can sense it within three days. It's okay, let's rest today."

Enkidu came over and said: "The lock of the sky is useless to it, this monster has nothing to do with the gods." He tilted his head, and then said: "Then where does the divine power come from?"

Fran stepped forward, looked at the marks on the wall, and said softly, "Once you find it, you'll know."

Gilgamesh looked around and said, "Enkidu and I will stay here to watch the night. What if that thing comes back?"

Fran's expression darkened suddenly, and she said, "No need, we're going to look for it now!"

Enkidu looked at Fran who suddenly changed his mind, and asked nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"

Fran turned her head to look at Enkidu, and said solemnly, "It fled to the direction of Shanzhi Forest."

Enkidu suddenly realized: "Fumbaba may be in danger!"

-----------------

The three of them rushed towards Sugi no Mori overnight.

The Sugi Forest at night is not as lush and verdant as it used to be, and the shadows shrouded in night make it look a bit eerie. The branches with fangs and claws are like the claws of the devil, ready to tear the flesh and soul of travelers at any time.

Enkidu looked at Fran: "Did that monster enter the forest?"

Fran nodded: "I sensed that its last whereabouts was to enter this forest. But the strange thing is, now I can't sense its location."

Enkidu became a little worried: "I don't know what happened to Humbaba? She has never been out of the Shanzhi Forest, and she may not know that such a monster has escaped in."

Fran was also a little worried, but she still comforted Enkidu and said: "It's okay, even if Humbaba is not good at fighting, this is her home field."

Gilgamesh suddenly asked, "Who are you talking about Humbaba?"

Enkidu explained: "She is my friend and Fran's, and the guardian of Shanzhi Forest."

Gilgamesh repeated in a soft voice with some ambiguity: "The... guardian of Sugino Mori?"
