[comprehensive] Ishtar

When Ishtar finally couldn't help sending out to the territory of Uruk - I want to choose a servant to force Gilgamesh to return to the capital, the time has passed since Gilgamesh and Enkidu traveled hand in hand for five years.

During the period, the king and his best friends were not completely silent. Ishtar, who was sitting in the capital of the king, could often hear such things as "the king and his best friends dealt with natural disasters", "the king and his best friends dealt with the beasts", "the king and his best friends". My best friend slept together (?)' Waiting to see the wonderful report of the other party.

Of course, there were also all kinds of gifts that were sent back quickly to anger Ishtar.

What can Ishtar do, Ishtar is very angry, and issued an edict to the whole of Uruk, "no taxation, no worship, no large-scale ceremonial activities for the next 20 years", intending to retaliate and also likes to be lively of Gilgamesh.

——Then in the second year of sitting in the royal capital, I realized later that now there will be no taxation, no worship, and no large-scale ceremonial activities for the next 18 years.

... Did she screw herself into it?

Realized the bad Ishtar side, lest Gilgamesh will really drag Enkidu out for 20 years before coming back, don't just because she doesn't know, Gilgamesh is played with someone, I will really be happy to leave!

Under pressure, Ishtar had to start talking about the countermeasures she had discussed with Gilgamesh and move forward. For a while, Uruk entered a period of self-sufficiency, and even began to pay more attention to the rapid development period of invention and creation. .

And with the rapid replenishment of the people's spiritual world, it corresponds to the decline of gods and beliefs.

Ishtar began to be frequently invited into the temple by the gods to discuss the people of Uruk and the beliefs of this country.However, each time, there are more novel and rare gifts to these gods, and it is precisely because of this that Ishtar is also able to tell them that this is the evolution of human civilization.

Siduri has made a lot of contributions in this regard, perhaps because the two bosses above her are not reliable. This Miss Counselor reformed the entire Uruk palace system, allowing the palace and All other departments have become more efficient and convenient.

Human beings began to gradually break away from the gods and develop independently.

Under such circumstances, Gilgamesh was recalled to the royal city by his mother, the goddess Ningsun.

"You are the ones who asked me to hand over Uruk to the gods." Gilgamesh reached out and scratched the lioness behind him who was particularly agitated by the breath of the gods, soothing her emotions like a cat, "even at the expense of Enkidu was sent for this, though I am content with him."

Goddess Ningsun sat on her throne, looking at the child she hadn't seen for a long time: "That child in Ishtar is too messy. How can humans be like gods? If you don't help them control the general direction, give them They have too much freedom and ability, then they will get worse."

This is a compliment in a sense, and it made Gilgamesh feel happy to recognize this, but of course he couldn't express it like this: "Then it's not my problem, you let me let Xian, I have let That’s it. You can find her to figure out how Uruk has been played by her.”

Ishtar is Anu's favorite daughter. Although she often loses her chain, even Gilgamesh, who is far outside, can see that Anu is in a good mood from the continuous good weather above Uruk—— Although she didn't know how that guy did it, she did fool Anu.

"It seems that you like Enkidu very much." Of course, Goddess Ningsun can't compete with Anu for the so-called "worry". Don't worry."

The 'we' here naturally refers to those gods.

Gilgamesh felt somewhat amused by the words of Goddess Ningsun.Regardless of the fact that there are not many traces of gods on Enkidu's body now, even at the beginning, when he was exhausted and revealed his true nature, Ishtar's divine power was so strong that he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.

And if they really cared, how could this group of people not see the little tricks between him and Ishtar that were occasionally exposed due to carelessness?

"If you are really worried," Gilgamesh expressed the awe that a human being should have for gods, and the respect a child should have for his mother, "I will return to Uruk immediately."

What Goddess Ningsun wanted was Gilgamesh's guarantee. After all, Ishtar's years in power have fully proved how troublesome that child is: "This is the best," she is still doing. The superficial demeanor, "Abolishing decades of taxes casually, without paying attention to you at all, is really nonsense."

Gilgamesh felt amused, obviously Mantian gods cared more about the sacrifices and activities that were canceled later.There are no official gods for sacrifices, and now it is not because of those large-scale activities and ceremonies that they can show their miracles in front of the people on a large scale and attract believers and beliefs.

But they must put a fig leaf on top of their own ugly goals.

However, Gilgamesh didn't reveal all these things in his heart in front of Goddess Ningsun: "Okay." In response to Goddess Ningsun, he said, "I will return to Uruk with Enkidu."

Gilgamesh's wit and well-behaved made Goddess Ningsun very satisfied, so she didn't keep Gilgamesh too much, but waved him away.

Outside the temple, Enkidu leaned under a tree and waited for his friend.Seeing Gilgamesh's not-so-happy expression, he took the initiative to hold his best friend's hand: "Is there anything that worries you? Does that... make you feel unhappy, Gil?"

It’s no surprise that Enkidu’s keenness, traveling with him these days, made Gilgamesh feel more deeply what kind of person he is: “It’s not really worrying or unhappy,” he held his hand instead. Enkidu, "All of this is in our foresight and in our planning."

Enkidu and Gilgamesh are well aware of who "we" refers to here.

"Then why are you frowning?" he asked.

"My friend," Gilgamesh didn't know if he was talking to himself, or if he really wanted to talk, "I'm just worried about her."

Perhaps due to his personality, Enkidu has always listened to unnecessary confidants, and he is doing the same when facing Gilgamesh at this moment.Patiently and gently motioned him to continue.

But Gilgamesh stopped here, he changed the subject, as if facing an invisible stranger, made a gesture of anger at being robbed of his due rights: "Ishtar Er, that guy, made Uruk look like this when the king was away—”

Facing Gilgamesh's sudden change, Enkidu was not too surprised, he still had that gentle face: "Gil, you really can't wait to fight Ishtar."

As for whether the fight between the king and the goddess was fought or not, the architects and engineers of Uruk who moved again the next day already had the answer.

"It's too bad!" Ishtar pressed ice on the bruise on his face, "Gilgamesh, as a man, you still hit a woman in the face, it's really too bad!"

"Before you condemn this king, shouldn't you also reflect on it?" The same angry king applied an ice pack to the same place on his face, "Screaming 'Enkidu' is a bad habit when you can't beat it. Where did it come from!"

"A good girl doesn't fight with a man. If you are a bully, I will naturally find a comparable opponent for you!" Ishtar was aggressive. Although most of the clothes on her body were damaged due to the previous battle, it didn't hinder her at this moment. With a high-spirited look, "Isn't this a matter of course?"

I haven't seen Ishtar's nonsense for a long time, and the king was once again laughed at by the shameless Venus goddess after many years: "If you really want to fight, why don't you fight Enkidu directly, but you must mix one of them in the middle?" You fish in troubled waters?"

Ishtar is also quite unbelievable at the moment: "Isn't it a matter of course to be humble, Ms.? And please show some face. If it weren't for me, you left Uruk in the past few years, and those old things you destroyed The old ministers of the country have overturned Uruk long ago, you are welcome, Gilgamesh."

"If you really want to do the same with me, then as a god, you can't beat me with one-third of human blood, shouldn't you feel even more ashamed?" Gilgamesh refused to budge. , "Thank you? This king hasn't settled Enkidu's problem with you yet."

Enkidu, who was inexplicably drawn into this war:? ? ?DazedJPG.

Why do you think that since Gilgamesh returned to the capital of Uruk, he has become a lot naive all of a sudden?Is it because Jill is such a naive person, or is there some other reason for this?

Enkidu's eyes uncontrollably turned to the goddess who was sitting cross-legged on the king's bed at the moment, beaten by the king but also using shameless tactics to make the king into a mess.

... for another reason.

"Lord Enkidu," Siduri appeared in the hall with a tray, "What would you like to drink?" As soon as she came up, she perfectly ignored the long-returned king and Ish, the goddess of Venus who was turned into a puffer fish by the king. Tal.

The two neglected ones also didn't care about Siduri. They were still arguing with six-year-olds about their naive issues. Even Enkidu followed Siduri out of the dormitory, but couldn't change their topic.

"Have they always been like this?" Enkidu spent more time with Gilgamesh. Although he had seen Ishtar, those memories were a long time ago for him, "So... "He tried to find words to describe the rhythm of these two people getting along.

"Yes, they are so childish when they get along." Siduli described Enkidu, "Please don't worry about it, they will get back together soon."

Is that so?

Enkidu turned his head and looked at the only surviving magnificent building in the royal city behind him, but what was in his mind was the joy and nostalgia in Gilgamesh's eyes that could not be concealed nor tried to hide when he was about to enter Uruk, as well as the words he said in private. When he was in Ishtar, he occasionally disliked it but it was more a word of showing off.
