[Comprehensive] A good snake has a safe life

If only time could turn back.

"Stop dreaming."

Inanna refuted Shelley as soon as she uttered this idea: "Even if we are gods, it is impossible to do such a thing. But in comparison, I would like to know why you have such hopeless thoughts Woolen cloth."

"Is it hopeless?" Shelley looked out the window: "I just feel that Gilgamesh's current state is somewhat beyond my prediction."

She had thought about what kind of king the boy would become, or he would work hard like his father, or not.Instead of the forked road, the road he is on now...

"Are you dissatisfied with him?"

"No, I just think he's not as kind as I thought."

Inanna justifiably laughed at Shelley's idea, and counted all the kings she knew, to prove that such things as kings cannot be kind.

"Isin has a king who loves living beings, but he was killed by his officials in the end."

Shelley looked up in doubt, and Inanna twitched her lips.

"He couldn't even bear to use his slaves too much, which made it impossible for the temple of Isin to offer sacrifices normally. When the priest got angry, he had a little chat with the disobedient heart, so..."

She spread her hands: "It's the other way around."

This story sounds extremely concise, and the causal logic is clear, but Shelley feels uncomfortable listening to it.

But she could still understand it.

For example, the contradictions that exist under the surface of the matter are nothing more than the fact that the labor force of this era is extremely precious, and the innocent king tried to use the method of recuperation to maintain a country's demand for limited resources, which is fundamentally impossible.

Supply and demand are out of balance, and that's a big deal.

"Well, I don't want to mention anything else." Inanna nudged Shelley and smiled flatteringly, "Do you know Bill Hutullah?"

Shelley turned his head.

"I have an impression."

"Ahem, it's like this." Inanna looked at other places: "Two days ago I..."

"Don't even think about it."

Shelley patted Inanna on the face: "This man is Gilgamesh's bodyguard, and he is a relatively trusted one. He was born as a slave, and an older brother was stuffed into the temple by Gilgamesh as an attendant. The kind where the lives of the two brothers are firmly held in his hands."

As for the gossip, Shelley has a vivid memory: "If you fall in love with him, go do it yourself, and I won't intervene."

The bright black eyes dimmed, Inanna bit her lower lip, and hugged Shelley's waist with a swish.

"Help me..." Her face kept rubbing against her waist: "I am a god who has abandoned Uruk. Gilgamesh must hate me, and I hate the kind of person."

"If you really hated you, you wouldn't be here long ago, dear."

"But he hasn't seen me either!"

"If I remember correctly, you always avoid him?"

Inanna was blocked by words and ran away angrily.She seldom left so early—the sun disappeared before sunset, Shelley felt a little bored in the empty palace, turned into a snake and swam towards the temple.

She hadn't seen it for a while, and she was a little worried.But thinking that I have never cared about anything, I feel that my worry is unnecessary.

Now the ruler of the temple is the little girl named Shamhat that she had settled down before. The family background comes from the gossip-loving female official named Tina in the original temple.The temple standing outside the palace remained unchanged from the past. Shelley slipped in from the pond of the temple, and saw that the unmanned corridor was covered with white calcite, and a piece of white calcite spread from the outside to the temple. If you walk in, you will have an idea that you can walk barefoot.

And then she really did.

When the sun is still there, it will only feel hot. Shelley walks in step by step, feeling cold all over his body, exhaling a breath and feeling relieved. For some reason, the temple is cooler than the palace. Shelley has been looking for a long time to attribute the reason to the side of the temple. on the big pond.

[Why do you have to get to the bottom of it all the time. 】

Science students should get used to it.

Shelley looked left and right to see if there was no one there, and walked straight to the main hall where the altar was placed. There was no sound along the way, no matter whether it was herself or others, there was no sound.

The moment she stepped into the main hall, the girl in white clothes like snow knelt under the steps, her eyes were lightly closed, and her expression was pious.

"Shamhart?"

The girl whose name was called opened her eyes and turned around with a look of surprise.

"My lord Shelley."

In the next second, she rushed over like a puppy.

"You are back~"

Shelley was attacked twice in one day by the same sex, and each time the other party would rub her.She felt itchy, and bent over to hide, but because she was hugged, she couldn't.

And the priestess of the temple stared at her with big watery eyes without blinking.

"Does Master Shelley hate me qaq?"

Shelley only felt a throbbing in her temples, but she shook her head resolutely.

"Absolutely not."

Speaking of Shamhart, Shelley has always attached two vague and monotonous labels to her, "the pretty little girl with black hair and black eyes" and "the current priest"—there is no contact on weekdays, except for the necessary Celebrations such as the last holy marriage have not met.Shelley thought that people in the temple seldom went out, let alone entered and left the palace at will, and she seldom moved even in her own palace, let alone the palace.The relationship that was supposed to be one of master and slave has now been separated into parallel lines. Shelley feels a little uncomfortable thinking about it.

But she didn't expect Shamhart to see her so excited.

When we met, Shamhat was always well-behaved, with a calm face, occasionally showing a warm smile, quiet and docile but noble and elegant, and has always been the representative of the gods in the temple in the hearts of everyone.On the day of the holy wedding, Shelley only remembered that she knelt at her feet, adjusted her dress, and finally looked up and smiled and praised her beauty.

And now the contrast from being a lady to a clingy...

It's a little cute.

"It's great to see Lord Shelley, I thought Lord Shelley would never go back to the temple again." The girl hugged Shelley and kept talking: "I usually go to the palace if I have something to do. I told the king that I couldn't see you at all. At the time of the holy wedding, I was surrounded by people who came to the temple. I miss you so much~"

Her face was then simply buried in Shelley's chest, with a silly blush.Shelley went through her words in his mind, and blinked his eyes after a while.

"Have you ever been to the palace?"

"I will come to the palace once a month to report on the situation of people entering and leaving the palace praying to you..." Shamhat raised his head: "Including the renovation of the temple that has just been completed recently, the decision is made by the king himself."

The calcite all over the ground flashed in Shelley's mind, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

She doesn't know any of this.

"I have written all these on clay tablets!"

The expression "Please praise me" was written all over the girl's face, and Shelley smoothed her hair with a smile.

"Ah, I've seen it all." Shelley said, "That's why I came back to see you."

Shamhat was very pleased that her efforts were discovered, but then she bit her lower lip and began to complain about the ruler of Uruk.

"Lord Shelley, I really can't take it anymore, the king has really become another person. I still remember that His Highness the Prince was very gentle and amiable when I was a child, but now every time I see him, my legs start to feel weak. "

Shelley held her chin, remembering the picture of Gilgamesh who felt that he couldn't easily forgive the betrayer, so he teased the defeated soldiers like a cat catching a mouse.

It is also normal to have weakness in the legs.

When he spoke close to her ear, she also subconsciously wanted to run away.

All living things instinctively want to be farther away from dangerous things.

Although she is not a safe existence.

"Obviously I am a priest, but the king never lets me see you."

The black-haired girl pouted: "Even the clay tablet I gave you has to go through the inspection of the palace first, as if I would do harm to you."

The priest was annoyed that his allegiance to the god was being questioned, but Shelley heard something else.A trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and she continued to smooth the priest's hair.

"Thanks to the tablet you gave me, Shamhat, otherwise I would be bored in the palace."

"Really!" The girl beamed with joy, "That's really great!"

"I don't want to ask anything else." Shelley looked at Shamhat's smiling face: "Do people in the temple listen to you?"

"Eh……"

She hesitated.

"I still listen to it, but now... most of the temples are sent in by the king, so I dare not tell them other things except the normal operation of the temple. I only dare to pray for you here alone. Can return to the temple as soon as possible."

"Why don't you dare tell them anything else?"

"The priest said they can't believe it." Shamhart blurted out reflexively: "I also think they are loyal to the king, not Lord Shelley."

The crimson eyes slowly bent, and Shelley hugged the little girl who didn't know whether it was innocent or pretending to be innocent.

"My lord priest is not wrong, you are also very smart, Shamhat."

The girl in his arms was warm, but Shelley felt cold all over.

"Among the people who were sent to the temple, there must be someone related to Birhutullah, the king's bodyguard."

"Well, it's his sister."

Shamhat recalled: "Now in charge of the warehouse of the temple and..."

The girl's voice stopped abruptly, interrupted by footsteps from afar.She turned pale and lowered her voice.

"It's the king's direct army... Today is the day to go to the palace."

"Go." Shelley patted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The goddess turned into a white snake and hid on the side of the steps.The priest girl, who was blessed by the goddess, took a deep breath, walked out with small steps, and became the usual gentle messenger of the gods again.

【Are you shaking? 】

The system asked her: [I feel that your mood is a little unstable. 】

Can't stabilize.

Shelley felt terribly angry.

She only spoke a few words to Shamhart, and in these few words, she found that the clay tablet she saw had been adapted, and nine out of ten sentences were lies.Some changes were insignificant, while others did not appear on the tablet at all.

'Are you playing me for a fool? '

The long silver snake soared into the sky and flew back to the palace.Shelley stood in front of the palace gate, and after a while, she saw Xiaobu followed by the black-haired girl from the direct army.

When the visitors knelt down to salute, Shelley didn't have the patience to wait for them to get up, and walked out the door with Shamhart in his arms.

"Master Shelley...?"

"Tell Gilgamesh that the palace is tired."

The silver-haired woman supported her own priest from behind.

"I want to go home."
