[comprehensive] Ishtar

Gilgamesh, the king of Uruk, turned Tigris and Euphrates, who were running on his land, into spears.

Enkidu, the divine weapon, leaned over and pressed his hands to the ground, turning the land of Mesopotamia into arrows in his hands.

When the rushing and tolerant soil collided, when the king intertwined and separated from the figure of the weapon of deep learning again and again, all dissatisfaction, anger, and hatred turned into sympathy for long-time rivals.All resistance, resistance, and remonstrance have turned into expectations that complement each other.

Wang Hong's eyes were shining brightly, and Wang's fine gold-like hair was full of joy at the moment. He threw away all his arrogance and realized that his weapons were inexhaustible, and the opponent's weapons were also inexhaustible. After exhaustion, Wang turned the distant battle into a melee battle, and the smile on his face became more sincere.

On the grassland at the edge of Uruk, the collision between the river and the ground lasted for seven days and seven nights. Even in the land at the other end, the roar of thunder could be heard and the trembling traces of the ground could be felt.

On the eighth day, the exhausted Gilgamesh lay down on the ground, while Enkidu lay down on the other side like a mirror, leaning against his head.

Neither of them spoke, but after a brief silence, they laughed together.

"So, what did that woman ask you to convey?" After laughing, Gilgamesh remembered what he had forgotten.

"Ah, after thinking about it, I suddenly feel that I am at a loss." Enkidu said with a smile in his voice, "I have worked so hard to get in front of the king, but I have to convey messages for others. Alright."

Gilgamesh was noncommittal, because the divine power he felt in the opponent at the beginning has been faintly visible in his continuous fighting with the opponent.On the contrary, the power and blessings belonging to Ishtar and Ereshkigal became more and more obvious—it was indeed not the messenger of the gods.

But why is there the breath of that woman Ereshkigal?Would you rather have a good talk with that lily-inclined woman than come face to face with him?

Thinking of this, the king's heart was filled with anger, and he no longer had the intention to ask Ishtar what he wanted Enkidu to convey.But this gift, as he saw in the future vision, is the existence that he is willing to talk to and calls a "best friend".

Even his temper is in line with his taste: "Are you interested in visiting Uruk, the king's home?" Wang, who has made new friends, can't wait to show his friends his most outstanding achievements, " There is nothing in the sky and the earth that can compare to this king's Uruk."

"Yes," Enkidu looked sideways at Gilgamesh, his voice full of longing and joy, "that is really a very beautiful country, and I was lucky enough to see a part of her when I went to your palace. "

Satisfied by such flattery, the king sat up and faced Enkidu: "Then let's go together." He stretched out his hand towards Enkidu, "This king will take you to see a more beautiful scenery."

"But as a king, shouldn't you be stationed in the king's city?" Enkidu also sat up, and advised him like this, but his hand rested on the palm of Gilgamesh.

"That kind of thing doesn't matter," Gilgamesh laughed. "All you need is a decree, and Ishtar will be fine."

Speaking of which, Enkidu, who is as sharp as Enkidu, can't realize that his advice has been listened to by the king, but his way of adopting it is so unique: "My lord goddess will be very angry," he thought for a while. Tell him, about the temper of that goddess, "Thy treasury may be ruined."

Gilgamesh replied indifferently: "It doesn't matter, the king has already promised that the treasure house of the king will be shared with her. If there is something missing, just go to her temple and get it."

As the king of Uruk, Gilgamesh's treasury is the best thing that 'people' can offer.As a goddess loved by the gods, Ishtar's treasury was bestowed or bestowed by the 'gods'.

Speaking of this, the king glanced at Enkidu: "As the king's close friend, this king also grants you the same rights."

"That's not necessary, king." Enkidu smiled, "I am your property, such a gift..."

"What the king says is what it is." The wayward Gilgamesh interrupted Enkidu, "What's more, you exist as a 'human', although I don't know what those guys with no heads have instilled in you, But what this king recognizes is Enkidu as a 'best friend'."

Enkidu's attention was drawn by other places: "Why not the goddess?"

"That guy? Hmph, although there are too many shortcomings to count, she dares to ignore the divine blood in this king's body, and has the courage to put 'humans' above 'gods', which is one of the few things that make her admire."

Perhaps it was derived from the emotion of a prostitute, and Enkidu felt happy when he praised Ishtar like this: "Does it make you fall in love?"

The king did not answer, but took Enkidu's hand and walked towards Uruk.

"..." Ishtar looked at Siduri in disbelief, his whole body trembling.

"Yes, Lord Ishtar." Siduri sighed, looking at the goddess who was leaning on the lion and enjoying the sunshine, her body stiffened by shock, "From today onwards, you will deal with Uruk instead of my king." all matters."

If the god could faint, Ishtar felt that she must be unconscious now: "... what about others?"

"I went on a long trip with Lord Enkidu." Siduri looked at the goddess who lifted a rock and shot herself in the foot with pity, and once again felt sorry for her ability to always mess things up at critical moments. I feel sincere admiration.

King Mingming had already planned to reconcile with her, but this goddess made a "best friend" at this time.Although Wang's old anger was completely dissipated to a certain extent, looking at Wang's current posture is also to another extent, the newly raised dissatisfaction and anger.

However, Ishtar is still planning to make the final dying struggle: "Isn't he afraid that I will mess up Uruk?"

"About this," Siduri shook her head, "the king has sent me an order, even if you want Uruk to self-destruct, it doesn't matter—'If she doesn't want all kinds of offerings, and the people have no bottom line for her Praise', so said the king."

It hit Ishtar's lifeline perfectly: "Who, who is so rare." The goddess blushed when Chi Guoguo revealed her true nature, "Actually, that's what happened, ah, what did he do? Well, it sounds like I like to hear others praise me, but that's obviously not the case."

Siduri smiled without saying anything with a smile that had seen through everything.

"In short, in short, if I am in charge of Uruk, the whole of Uruk will obey me, right?" Ishtar quickly recovered from the blow, and looked at Xi with a look of expectation. Dolly.

"That's right." The regent replied dutifully.

"Then the first decree," said Ishtar with a smug smile, "I want all the people in Uruk to praise me three times a day! Then, I want to replace all my temples with handsome little elder brother."

On Siduri's face was an exclamation of 'as expected': "Regarding this point, because you are only acting as the king of Uruk temporarily, your decree is lower than that of King Gilgamesh." She slowly sighed in her words And helplessly, "The king once ordered that there can only be female servants in your temple."

Ishtar's face twisted again, and she struggled to plead with Siduri before drowning: "So, three words of praise for me? The best offering?"

"The king gave an order before leaving office to celebrate that he has found a close friend who can stand by his side - Uruk is exempt from taxes, offerings and pilgrimage for ten years."

No taxes meant no money, no offerings meant no curiosities of all kinds, no pilgrimage meant no big gatherings that regularly praised her: "So, what about the banquet?"

"The king said that all the banquets will be held together when he comes back." Speaking of this, Siduri's face showed a bit of apology and intolerance towards Ishtar, "I'm sorry, Lord Ishtar."

So, why bother, the goddess of Venus always likes to jump repeatedly on the bottom line of the king, Ming Ming also has a way to completely kill this restless tempter, but he connives her to do so time and time again. Annoyed and resentful, but not really embarrassing for her.

But this kind of childish contest of "you are an asshole", "you are an asshole", "rebound", "rebound of rebound" and other childish contests, when will it really end?

Ishtar, whose expression was distorted to a certain extent, naturally did not vent her anger on Siduri. In fact, she had already transferred all her anger to that annoying guy: "—Gilgamesh!" She jumped up, her voice The sound broke from the sharp to the end, "You bastard!"

"Ah chirp!" In the distance, Gilgamesh, who was walking side by side with Enkidu, rubbed his itchy nose, "It seems that Siduri has already passed the message to Ishtar. .”

"What are you talking about?" Enkidu, who was squatting on the ground and carefully watching the small white flowers on the ground, raised his head and looked at Gilgamesh.

"If it makes her very, very angry," Wang proudly showed off to his new friend, "she will find that she will get nothing but government affairs."

"What is there to be angry about?" Enki didn't even understand the conflict between his best friend and the goddess who bestowed her gods, "Isn't the king entrusting the rise and fall of the entire Uruk to her, isn't it a manifestation of trust? "

"Call me Jill," Wang corrected, "probably because for us, Uruk has more responsibilities than interests." In the final analysis, Ishtar and Gilgamesh are the same kind of people in their bones, "Of course More importantly, she cares more about the fact that she lost to me than trust."

Enkidu didn't understand this complex emotion, but it didn't stop him from admiring the trust between Gilgamesh and Ishtar: "The gods still want to entrust me to compete for the gods' place in Uruk." Right. Now that you have handed over all the rights to Lord Ishtar, you really trust her."

"Call me Gil." Gilgamesh corrected again, ignoring the exclamation in Enkidu's words.
