[Comprehensive] A good snake has a safe life

The palace has been quiet.

I don’t know if this tranquility is real or it was deliberately created by Shelley, because when the master of the palace is away, the temporary person in charge who is authorized to manage it with full powers only eats, sleeps, and gossips every day.

This dissatisfied His Royal Highness, who was studying hard as before.

Since he was sensible, the set of elite education policy that has been implemented in order to inherit Uruk has been carried out continuously on him.Not a single day in his memory was interrupted.

"Tsk tsk."

Shelley went to watch his class once, with a very contemptuous expression: "It's far away."

【You can’t compare the education system of the ancient times with the modern one. 】The system caught Shelley's point: 【It is very rare to have a relatively systematic education now. 】

This Shelley knew, it was just...

"I still prefer to watch gossip."

Shelley looked at the clay tablets sent by the temple with great interest, and no matter how much she was despised by another gaze at the moment, it was not until after reading all the clay tablets that Shelley realized that the little golden retriever was sitting Beside waiting for a long time.

"I said, do you want to play?"

The snake girl suddenly asked: "Have you seen the scenery of Uruk without your father?"

She didn't care whether Gilgamesh responded or not, she hugged him from behind and floated into the sky.Compared with the previous rush to get to the palace, this time I floated slowly upwards, accumulating little by little the senses that are really at a high place, and finally overcame the uneasiness in the young boy's mind because he didn't set foot on the ground, and then became happy .

"To the west is the river where all the canals draw water." Shelley turned around: "I just fell asleep because of something wrong with that place."

The child in her arms could finally be said to be obediently listening to her, so Shelley pointed to the east again: "Here, if you go further, you will be Lagash."

"Master Shelley once said, you don't want your father to fight this time, why?"

He raised his head, eyes somewhat similar to hers showed some doubts: "The king of Lagash tarnishes your holy name, and if you were another god, you must have been furious."

"You have two questions, I'll answer the first one first."

Shelley looked at the farmers who were working hard in the fields, they were only a little bit in her eyes at the moment: "This battle is not big, but your father took away nearly one-third of the young and middle-aged people in the city. If there is no war, then these people will be returned to work, and the labor of those who stay in the city can be reduced. Assuming that there are not many people lost this time, but returning to recuperate and so on will cost a lot of money... When you think about it like that, it's terrible, it's not worth fighting a single battle."

Shelley was scratching his head and fidgeting: "Compared to this, don't you think that people's harvest makes their offerings richer and more exciting?"

"That is true," the little prince replied, "but it is a great sin to be disrespectful to God."

"If I really cared, you wouldn't be alive today."

Shelley turned around in the air indifferently: "Although I didn't do anything, I still remember deeply what you said."

What a bitch, what a bitch, what a bitch.

"That's because..." The kid wanted to refute at first, but in the end he didn't say anything: "But you used to scold me too!"

"Ah?" Silver-headed Mao recalled for a moment: "Ah... the time you said you called you little bastard..."

On the contrary, she felt baffled: "Think about it yourself, besides you, who else in this city has both god and human bloodlines. You are neither a pure person nor a pure god. You are a hybrid..."

After coughing twice, Shelley admitted his mistake.

"But I really shouldn't say that, so we'll be even. Including giving away lions, snakes, and so on, everything will be written off." Shelley himself felt that it was very naive to argue with a child: "As long as you Be good, and I will do nothing."

She felt that she was very sincere, but Gilgamesh thought for a while before reluctantly nodding.

Shelley felt for a moment that he had not released enough snakes last time.

[You're enough, they were miserable later. 】

The system couldn't help but Gilgamesh pointed in another direction: "There seems to be a lot of people gathered there, to the north of the palace. That's where the nobles live..."

If the king is not there, all the meetings will be stopped, and only a few elders appointed by Wang will be responsible for daily important affairs, and the rest should stay at home and quietly wait for the news of Wang Desheng's return.

And besides this, he thought of something else.

"I remembered, besides me, there are a few other nobles who have both human and divine blood." The young boy raised his head and said to Shelley: "Among the current elders, some of them are married to Enmerka. His daughter, although the child born does not have too high a godhead, but also has the blood of the sun god Utu. Compared with..."

Halfway through his speech, he saw Shelley's eyes darken as he stared at the direction he was pointing.

"Is something wrong?"

He was particularly sensitive to Shelley's wanton murderous aura at that moment, and his body hanging in mid-air was a little chilled by the undercurrent.Shelley blinked, and then slowly fell down with her usual idle smile.

"What was expected to happen happened, so it's not an accident." After putting Gilgamesh down, Shelley stretched his waist: "According to this statement, I should have hoped that something would happen."

He had just entered the palace, and there were many more guards around him than before. Gilgamesh had already discovered that.His question was held back only because he knew now that even asking Shelley would not give him an answer.The old monster, who spoke calmly, looked restless at the moment, and kept scratching the clay slab with his fingertips.

"Father once said that he hoped that I would always be by Lord Shelley's side when he was not around." The little prince sat on the seat under Shelley's left hand: "But in fact, he hopes that I can be protected by Lord Shelley... right? .”

That tone was a bit reluctant, which made him look a little cute.Shelley tried to touch his head with his hand, but his nails were full of dirt, so he stopped after thinking about it.

"Don't think that I will do things in vain," Shelley rubbed her snake's tail after the mythical dress was concretized, "You will be the one who will do this kind of thing in the future."

The little golden retriever glanced at her inexplicably, and when he found the snake tail, his back stiffened, and he moved back several meters.

"If you have something to say well." He swallowed very seriously: "Don't make your tail out to scare people."

Shelley turned his legs back and turned over in a bored manner.

"Tch, Finn said my tail is cute."

"That kind of flatterer..."

"Shut up, or let the snake bite you."

If it weren't for the smell of blood coming from the person who came, this pleasant bickering atmosphere should have continued.When Wang Zhijun, who was wearing dark armor, approached, the two people who were on good terms with each other silently smoothed the corners of their mouths.

"My lord Shelley, fortunately I did not disgrace my life."

The silver-haired woman sighed.

"Okay." She stood up: "Take me to see."

And when she was about to leave, the little golden retriever that she hadn't planned to take with her lowered her head and grabbed her skirt.

"Me too."

It's not good to take children to watch such things, but Shelley finally leads Gilgamesh to a place where life and death are mixed.If this is purgatory on earth, Shelley finds that it is not enough.

It's just that the little boy holding her hand used a little more force.

"Is this what my father... entrusted to Lord Shelley?"

"Ah."

Shelley glanced at the men and women who lived in the spacious house not long ago, some of them were silent now, some still had strength.The sharp and harsh insults didn't make her feel any more special. In the end, she looked at the ground and felt dirty.

Dust, blood, and other unknown ingredients were mixed together, and it became a disgusting thing.

"Do you still want to stay here?"

The little golden retriever shook his head: "But why are they here?"

Shelley felt that Gilgamesh himself had feelings, but he probably didn't want to believe it from the bottom of his heart.She had to squat down and point at a person who didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

"As you said, they are the descendants of Enmerka's daughter, and the blood of the pioneers of Uruk king flows in their bodies. But you also know that none of Enmerka's descendants can become Uruk's descendants. king."

"So they want...to take the throne away when my father goes out to fight?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

Shelley patted Gilgamesh on the head: "It looks naive, but I understand everything."

"Did father already know?"

"Well, I know." Shelley said while taking the little golden retriever away, "So Wang Zhijun left half for me."

Behind the two of them there was this stern curse, and the high-pitched human voice sounded creepy at first.Halfway through the conversation, there was no dialogue, and the little prince let go of Shelley's hand.

"All of them will die."

Shelley felt that she should comfort him, but she finally said something else coldly.

"If they don't die, sooner or later it will be you."

【Too cruel. 】

The system gave Shelley this evaluation, and Shelley readily accepted this evaluation.She herself was appalled by her indifference in being there in person, especially after she regretted saying something rather nasty to Gilgamesh at the end.

It was a child after all.

The feeling of self-loathing and self-denial sweeping through her whole body was particularly bad, and her drowsy head looked at all the scenery outside the window. Even the abundant sunlight could not dispel the heavy shadow in her eyes.She stayed in the palace all the time, and did not return to the temple after confirming that the situation in the city had stabilized.

But she really wanted to go back, throw herself on someone, and then fall asleep peacefully.

"I heard from the guard that Lord Shelley didn't eat anything yesterday."

The little golden retriever was depressed for two days, and then revived with chicken blood.He came over to see her during the breaks in his studies, and he couldn't be happier.

"If you don't eat, you'll be hungry."

"I still remember you saying that my waist has gotten thicker." Shelley simply put down the clay tablet, and picked up a crispy sweet date: "Yes, I ate it."

"Speaking of which, my father never told me much about himself." The little golden retriever sat a little closer: "Master Shelley, can you tell me these things?"

The so-called courtship for nothing, adultery or robbery is probably the same. Although she felt tired, Shelley still patiently talked about what she knew.

For example, Lugal is really really expressionless all the time, and only occasionally raises the corners of his mouth.

"I haven't seen him much on the battlefield. The time I saw him was after he had won." Shelley was lying on his side, covered with a light woolen blanket.

"But Lord Shelley doesn't seem to be afraid of that situation at all."

The red eyes were a little dazed, and blinked after a while.

"Maybe it's because... I've seen worse ones."

She finally remembered the scene of Meteor Street again, although it was vague, but every time she smelled blood, her body could recall something by itself.

"Then Lord Shelley also killed someone."

"..."

Shelley nodded reluctantly: "I have killed a few."

"why."

"Because if I don't do it, I will die."

This is her own bottom line: "I also want to live."

And at that moment, Shelley suddenly thought of someone who had asked her.

What is the difference between her and them.

"Gilgamesh, what do you think is the difference between humans and beasts?"

The little golden retriever replied without hesitation.

"Probably the difference between me and you."

Shelley smashed the tablet directly in his face.

And when Shelley was thinking about how to beat up the little golden retriever, someone rushed to the door and reported a good news that surprised the little boy who was like a piece of fish on the chopping board.

"Master Shelley, His Royal Highness, the king is back!"

"cut."

Shelley let go indignantly.

"You are lucky."

Good hairball.

After being pinched and pulled out for a long time, the little golden retriever almost wanted to roll his eyes, but when Shelley stretched out his hand, he quickly pulled it tightly.

"I will definitely tell my father all about your bullying."

"Just tell me." Shelley said nonchalantly, "Anyway, he won't hit me."

"..."

The return of Lugal announced the end of Shelley's laborious work in just a few days, but the king of Uruk didn't like the way of winning this expedition—influenced by Ningsun, the king of Lagash sent people A grand apology was prepared on the way, and a great present was given to Shelley.

Shelley didn't know what happened when he saw Lugal's black face, but he knelt down as soon as he returned to the palace.

The black hair and black eyes of this temple look extremely docile, the short hair has no beard, what are the slaves doing? Hey, hey, hey! ! !

The great priest who hadn't seen her for a long time came to greet her with a smile, but unfortunately his tone was not very good.

"Shelley."

Being called by his full name for the first time, the Lord God of Uruk felt inexplicably guilty.

"Oh, Finn has worked so hard hahaha..."

The priest's seemingly strong arms were resting on Shelley's ears, and his body, which was a head taller than her, was imposing at the moment.The slender body slowly pressed down, so frightened that the main god wanted to run subconsciously.

"This unique hobby has spread to Lagash."

"Well... don't get excited, Finn." Shelley's throat moved with difficulty: "I didn't know in advance, if I knew that there was such a shameful apology ceremony, I would definitely curse them not to grow up this year." Food!"

The young man raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"of course."

Shelley leaned against the wall, and said sincerely, "Even if they all have black hair and black eyes, they have cut their hair and shaved their beards, there is absolutely no one here who can compare to you."

"yes."

"Look at my sincere eyes!" Shelley blinked, "I don't look like I'm lying at all!"

The priest looked at it carefully at this time, and after a while touched the head of the main god.

"Master Shelley hasn't had a good rest for the past two days."

Then he bent down and hung her legs with his arms, and gently lifted the Lord God into his arms.

"Although it's a bit like talking about something else, let Lord Shelley rest and talk about it."

The priest said reasonablely: "If possible, the efforts of the temple..."

"Send to move stones!"

Finn nodded in satisfaction.

"Master Shelley, as long as he thinks it is appropriate."

It wasn't until she was nestled under the quilt that Shelley's horror slowly receded, and the warm room made her feel much more relaxed.Finn sat down against her slump, and Shelley put an arm on his shoulder as he fell asleep.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"There are still some things that haven't been dealt with," Finn wiped his face on the back of Shelley's hand when he turned his head: "For example, the slaves of that temple..."

Shelley withdrew her hand embarrassingly, but was caught back before retracting into the bed.

"The other thing is that after what happened outside, Lord Shelley wants someone to be by his side."

Shelley was startled, and the sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

"Because Lord Shelley is very powerful and protects the entire Uruk, but he is actually a god with a soft heart."

The man's cheek was pressed against the back of her hand, and the temperature was unbearably warm.

"Although I know that as long as people exist, it is impossible not to fight and plunder, but I still hope that all things can grow safely and peacefully in the place where I am." His eyes, which were dark because of the color of the burning flame, were extremely warm, and his eyes danced. The light and shadow are like meandering water: "Master Shelley, in fact, I have always hoped that the city will be safe and sound before the return of the king."

"But this kind of expectation is quite ridiculous."

The blood-stained ground emerged in Shelley's mind: "Use my will to judge others..."

"But it's God with such expectations that allows Uruk to continue safely until now, isn't it?"

At some point, the priest who was already half-kneeling facing the Lord God whispered, "It is precisely this kind of Master Shelley that makes me want to serve wholeheartedly, even because I want to stand by your side all the time. An even more greedy attempt. I know that I am just a humble human being, but I..."

White fingers slid over the corners of his lips, and the silver-haired woman who propped up her body drew the eyebrows and eyes of the priest who confided her heart to her.

"Finn," she said, leaning over and hugging his shoulders.

"Don't go."
