The Troubles of the Holy Maiden [Comprehensive]

"How?" Seeing Fran stop checking, Gilgamesh followed her to the outside of Enkidu's bedroom.

Fran looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "I can't see anything wrong. It seems that the body's functions have begun to weaken, but this weakness is not pathological..."

Fran bit her lower lip and looked at Gilgamesh: "Gill, I'm afraid you need to ask Her Majesty the Goddess Ningsun. I guess Enkidu's condition is related to the God Realm."

Gilgamesh was taken aback, then nodded heavily.

When Gilgamesh returned from the goddess, what Fran saw was a man full of anger.

"What did His Majesty Ningsun say?" Fran asked proactively.

Gilgamesh covered his face with his hands and took a deep breath: "It's Ishtar, she sent a petition to the gods to punish us because Enkidu and I attacked the bull of the sky and disrespected the gods. Ann Nushen agreed to her request and cast a curse that one of Enki and I must lose his life."

Gilgamesh punched the wall with his fist, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, it's obviously my wayward and reckless behavior. I will be punished for everything. Why did Enkidu come to suffer God's punishment? He What's wrong?!"

Fran listened quietly, shaking her head slightly: "You are the son of God with the blood of God, the emperor of the world. And Enki is a weapon created by God to check and balance you. Although you are all created by God , but the essence and identity are different. Even if you cause trouble, you are still the beloved son of Goddess Ningsun, and Enkidu is nothing more than a weapon that does not obey orders. The only way for a weapon to betray the Lord is to be destroyed. I thought you already understood."

Gilgamesh turned his head and looked at Fran, with uncontrollable anger in his bright red eyes.

"Why? Why can you still say such things with a calm face?! Isn't Enkidu your friend? Don't you feel unfair about his fate?! Don't you feel angry or sad? !"

Fran still looked at the roaring Gilgamesh calmly, and after he finished venting, he said slowly: "What's the use of losing your temper here? It's not the first day you know that Enkidu's fate is in the hands of God. Even so, don’t you still go your own way and refuse to compromise? This is the way it is, and if you are suffering here, you might as well think of a way to extend Enkidu’s life.”

Fran turned around and said flatly, "Enkidu is already awake, it's up to you to see him or not."

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

Even if all the treasures and secret medicines in Uruk are exhausted, Enkidu's gradually lost vitality cannot be restored.Fran used the pendant given to her by Zhujian back then to stabilize Enkidu's rapidly declining vitality, but it still couldn't stop Enkidu's life from passing.

Enkidu was lying on the bed, his blu-colored hair that was full of vitality became haggard, his fair and plump skin turned sallow, and he looked closer and closer to his essence—a clay puppet.

Fran sat on the side of the bed, took Enkidu's hand, and persuaded softly: "Enkidu, use the command spell, let's try again, shall we?"

The weak Enkidu tried his best to pull up the corners of his mouth, showing a smile: "Fran, thank you for your hard work these days. However, I know my body myself. There is no need to worry about it anymore. The weakness of my body is not an injury, but The breakdown of the rules in my body, I'm just returning to the original."

Fran held Enkidu's hand tightly, and said, "I understand, but how will you know if you don't try? What if there is a miracle?"

Enkidu looked at Fran's face and smiled softly: "You are lying to me, you never believe in miracles, you only believe in yourself, don't you?" Lan's cheek, the voice was as soft as a feather falling on the water: "Good girl, don't deceive yourself, you understand..."

Fran slowly closed her eyelids and stopped talking.

Enkidu withdrew his hand and said softly, "Jill."

Gilgamesh straightened up from the wall he was leaning against, and walked over: "I am here."

Enkidu stared at Gilgamesh and said, "I'm sorry, I probably have to go first."

Suddenly, Gilgamesh couldn't restrain his emotions, he punched the edge of the bed, and screamed sadly: "Why! Why are you dying?! It's obviously my willful behavior, why didn't you punish me, instead let you pay for your life! "

Enkidu smiled slightly, and his voice was very slow and soft: "Please don't be sad, I am different from you, I am just a weapon, even if you lose me, you will have more weapons that are better than me in the future, my Leaving has no value in making you sad."

Gilgamesh responded immediately: "You are valuable! You are my only true friend! I swear, you are the only true friend in this world! This value will never change!"【1】

Enkidu smiled again, with a bright and sad smile: "Thank you, Jill, thank you. You know, I have always admired and hated you. I have always wondered why the two of us are also God's creations. , you are a hero, but I am just a prop. You are a life with a soul, but I am just a consumable for a weapon. But later, I was relieved, your soul is so dazzling, so admirable..." En Qidu looked at the ceiling, and then said: "Thank you, Jill, thank you for your affirmation of me, thank you for treating me like this as a friend, even if it is at the price of eternal loneliness in the future..." His voice became more and more lighter.

"Then, I can't be too selfish..."

Enkidu looked at Gilgamesh again, and said, "Gill, can I have a few words with Fran alone?"

Gilgamesh glanced at Fran, nodded and left.

Fran looked at the king's dejected back, then looked back at Enkidu: "Enkidu, what do you want to say?"

Enkidu straightened up a little tiredly, and sat up: "Fran, Jill likes you."

Fran looked at Enkidu calmly, and replied, "I know, but I won't stay for anyone."

Enkidu raised his hand to cover his eyes: "Then you know, I like you too?" His voice was very soft, as if a butterfly had landed on a flower petal, as if a cloud was floating in the sky.

Flan paused, she was silent for a while, and responded, "Thank you, Enkidu, but I'm sorry."

Enkidu shook his head and said: "You have nothing to do to me. I have always been very grateful to you, thank you for your company, thank you for your teaching, thank you, until the end of my life, you also answered my question seriously. , did not choose to cheat out of sympathy."

Enkidu looked at Fran and smiled softly: "I used to think that the three of us could stay together forever, so there was nothing to complain about. Then I thought, you will leave after I die, so you I wouldn’t have chosen Jill, and I wouldn’t have been left behind by the two of you. After all, Jill is so dazzling, there’s nothing wrong with you choosing him. But in the end, we all failed.”

Enkidu lightly stroked the Command Seal on the back of his hand, and suddenly asked, "Fran, can you promise me something?"

Fran didn't ask what it was, but just replied softly: "Okay."

Enkidu chuckled: "You just agreed."

Fran didn't speak, just looked at Enkidu's face quietly, wanting to remember him in her heart.

Enkidu went on to say: "The lock of the sky you gave me, I want to transfer it to Jill as my relic. If possible, can I incorporate part of my soil into it? In this way, the lock of the sky is also considered Let's accompany the Wedge of the Sky."

Fran nodded slightly: "Okay."

Enkidu took Fran's hand lightly, and said: "One more thing, this is just my personal request, not an order." He stared deeply into Fran's eyes and said, "After I die Afterwards, can you take care of Gu Jill as a friend?"

Fran sighed softly, and said, "Enkidu, I can promise you to take care of him, but you are his only true friend. I am not your substitute, nor can I be your substitute."

Enkidu put Fran's hand on his cheek, and half-closed his eyes: "But you are his respected teacher and the woman he loves the most. If you two support each other, maybe you will not be lonely. . . ”

Fran looked at Enkidu's weak face, and finally said: "Okay, I will take care of him as a friend."

Enkidu kissed the back of Fran's hand lightly, and clear tears flowed from the corners of his half-closed eyes, across his muddy cheeks.

"Thank you, Fran, thank you for tolerating my last willfulness."

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

In the end, Enkidu just disappeared before Fran's eyes, turning into a field of soil and gravel.

Kneeling on the ground, Gilgamesh held a clod of earth in his hand, weeping mournfully.Fran thought, this was probably the only time this proud man cried in his life.

'Enkidu, you do have a good friend.Such an arrogant king lost his composure and cried because of your departure.Your bond cannot be separated even in death. '

Fran just stood there quietly, looking at the soil on the ground, looking at the grief-stricken Gilgamesh, inexplicably, there was neither sadness nor joy in her heart.

'Perhaps, I have long accepted the fact that Enkidu disappeared, and perhaps, I have seen too many partings of life and death. '

When Gilgamesh finally controlled his emotions and calmed down, he noticed Fran who had been calm all the time.

Gilgamesh's emotions seemed to explode again suddenly. He looked at Fran and asked with a complicated expression: "Fran, why?!"

Fran looked at Gilgamesh inexplicably: "Why?"

Gilgamesh clenched his fists and tried to suppress his emotions: "Why are you not sad at all?! Enkidu is also your important person! You have such a deep bond, why don't you feel sorry for him at all?" Sad to die?!"

Fran looked at Gilgamesh, who looked like a lion with fried fur, and said calmly: "I also feel sorry for Enkidu's early death."

Gilgamesh seemed to have found a point of venting, and began to ask: "Is this your sadness? Fran, I have already discovered that you have been as calm as a bystander from the beginning to the end. You can kill Fen with your own hands." Baba, you can also watch Enkidu die peacefully. Is it because you are a person from another world? So the emotions of us people are meaningless to you?! It is even ridiculous!"

"Fran! Do you have a heart?!"

Fran replied flatly: "Death is the return of all life. Sooner or later, even the gods cannot be eternal, let alone the mortal spirits. Gilgamesh, is it Enkidu's death that you are grieving, or you? Foresaw my own ending?"

All of Gilgamesh's words seemed to have been choked into his throat. It took him a long time to recover, and he said through gritted teeth, "What about you? Speaking of which, you haven't changed at all in the past few years, Fran, what are you? !"

Fran chuckled, and the corners of her mouth curled up, the weird smile on her beautiful face became a little scary.

"Me? The reason why I haven't changed is because I may have died long ago."

"The dead will not change."

Gilgamesh's eyes widened, he took a breath, and was startled by Fran's expression change at this moment: "Are you from the underworld?!"

Fran still smiled charmingly: "Hehe, guess what?"

Gilgamesh took two steps back, leaned against the wall a little weakly, and looked at Fran with a complicated expression.

Fran lowered her eyes, thinking in her heart: "If he does this, he probably won't have any more thoughts about me." '

Turning around, Fran stroked her heart: "I. . .Do you have no heart? . . '
