Radiant Enemy

This is the memory and past that Hilgna has forgotten and blurred in this life.

Those things that Hilgna wanted to remember, but had already forgotten, flooded into his brain——

***

In a certain foothill of the Kinki city of Uruk, a group of soldiers in soft armor were walking on a rough path.

And the green-haired girl who was protected by them was wearing an exquisite and light short skirt. Although her face was still youthful, her body already revealed the sweetness of a ripe fruit.

On such a steep and difficult mountain road, the short white skirt slipped above the knees unconsciously, revealing fair and smooth skin, but none of the fellow soldiers set their sights on the girl, or Said they didn't dare at all.

After climbing the mountain, the purpose of their trip appeared in front of them.

"Lord Samhart, we are here." The soldier who opened the way ahead saluted respectfully to the immature girl who was not as tall as her chest, and then backed away.

Sam Hart nodded, she took a deep breath, and walked towards the thatched cottage standing in front of her.

As a prostitute who conveys the will of the gods in the temple and is responsible for praying for blessings, Samhat should not have condescended to go to this remote and backward place outside the city in person, but Goddess Ningsun issued a decree that she must take a person with her. Back to the king city, there must be no mistakes.

Samhart took a deep breath, relieved his nervous beating heart, then maintained the graceful posture of a prostitute, and stepped into the thatched house that looked like it was about to collapse.

This room looks old, but it is very warmly decorated inside. Samhart also saw some interesting things that she hadn't seen in the royal city, which aroused her curiosity, and she couldn't help but leaned over to take it. He weighed it carefully in his hand.

Just when Samhart's gaze was attracted by the exquisitely crafted and lifelike wooden rabbit sculpture in front of her, a gust of wind passed by her side, and the next moment, the wooden sculpture that was still being played with in her palm, It was easy to master immediately.

"No one told you that you can't move other people's things without permission?" The voice was soft and cold, like fine snow covering the lake, freezing the rippling ripples into complicated patterns.

"You...!" Samhart was of course very angry. She angrily glared at the rude man who took away her favorite wood carving, but was completely stunned when she met a pair of penetrating eyes.

This is definitely not the character that should appear in this kind of remote and backward mountain foothills.

With just one glance, the words that Goddess Ningsun described to her about the person she should be looking for appeared in Samhart's mind: "He has a pair of eyes gifted by the sky and the lake, and all changes and traces cannot escape his eyes." Sight; he has a head of hair given by ice and snow, each of which reflects dazzling light in the sun. His body is as vigorous as a stag, and as light as a goshawk skipping the treetops. He comes with the brilliance, You must find him for me, and I will make him a man on the side of the throne, a brother to my son Gilgamesh, to fight for him."

Samhart didn't know what Goddess Ningsun predicted in the dream, but God ordered that even if she had never left the royal city so far, she had no choice but to come here on her delicate feet that had never had calluses. Look for this 'One with the Shine'.

The white-haired and blue-eyed boy in front of him was half a head taller than Samhart. His body was slender and straight wrapped in a strange cloth, and his exposed skin was fair and shiny, exuding a sweet breath like milk. Those pale lips are like delicate flowers blooming in early spring, tempting to kiss.

Samhat was able to stand out from the crowd in the temple, naturally because of her beautiful face and cautious and sensitive character, she was very popular with the goddess, and she also met many beautiful people because of this.

But the young man standing in front of her was a beauty completely different from the royal nobles she had seen before, and this piercing beauty made Samhart not know how to describe it in words for a while.

It would be a bit weak to describe it as beautiful, but it would be too tough to describe it as handsome.

The young man is beautiful in between, but exudes vitality, just like the land and forest under his feet.

"Did you break into my house just to stare at me?" The cold voice of the white-haired boy brought Sarah Ham back to consciousness. She blushed for a moment, feeling ashamed of her gaffe.

But she knew that the person who accompanied the brilliance mentioned in the oracle must be the young man in front of her.

Samhart calmed down his fluctuating emotions, and made a beautiful and complicated salute to the young man, and the soft and pleasant voice sounded softly: "People who accompany the brilliance——I'm here to inform you. The favor of the gods will come to you, and you will be taken away from this remote mountain to the bustling royal city. The queen of Uruk, the goddess Ningsun who protects our existence, will take you as her son and treat you as her own, Let the glory of Uruk shroud you forever."

This passage of Samhart is as beautiful as singing, and every syllable has a rhythm.When such a curtain of supreme glory falls on any ordinary human being, they will be so moved and amazed that they will burst into tears, kneel down and kiss the ground under Sarah Hamm’s feet in fear, and thank her for bringing him such a grand gospel.

Just when Samhart was secretly expecting the young man to put those soft lips on her toes, the words that the young man said made her feel as if she had been hit in the face by a heavy object, and there was a buzzing sound in her ears. Voice: "... What did you just say?"

"I said, I won't go." Although the white-haired boy was very cold, he still repeated it.

"But, but this is the will of the goddess!" Samhart said with an unbelievable emphasis, "Are you going to defy God's order!"

How could there be such ignorant and rude people?Isn't he afraid that Goddess Ningsun will be angry and punish him?

"I have a father and a mother, and I live very well here. I don't want to go to the royal city to be restricted; even if I really want to go to the royal city, it's not with you, and I don't need a second mother." The boy said coldly. Finally, with a wave of his hand, a gust of wind blew up, pushing Samhart away from the hut, and the spacious wooden door was also closed in front of her.

Samhart stared stiffly at the closed door in front of him, tentatively stretched out his hand and pushed it, but it was so solid that it couldn't be opened at all.

And as she realized this, she also discovered in despair that she seemed to have messed up the goddess' order.

After shutting the door of the uninvited guests, the white-haired boy took off the bow and arrow behind his back and hung it on the wall.

He put the wooden rabbit sculpture played by Samhart on the table, and frowned slightly.

His intuition told himself that there was something wrong with Glory's invitation.

What's more, the voice of Hilgner's heart that has been with him since he was born, also complained in Samhart's unavoidably smug notification: "The pies that fall from the world are not delicious. , either it is poisonous, or it will kill people.”

Although Hilgner didn't know what the pie was referring to, his inner voice was right, who knew what conspiracy was hidden behind such a good thing.

By the way, what is spitting?

Hilgner's attention gradually drifted away, and he was not worried that the soldiers and prostitutes outside the door would cause any harm to him. After all, he was confident that even if they went together, they would not be his opponent.

The white-haired boy picked up the cup made of wood on the table, lifted the lid, and took a sip of the sweet mountain spring water in it to moisten his thirsty throat after traveling in the mountains.

Since birth, Hilgner knew that his identity was not simple. Leaving aside the inexplicably docile and submissive mountain animals and birds, his appearance and skills, which were obviously different from those of the surrounding hunters, were also a big proof.

And most importantly, there was a voice in his mind telling himself that he had time-traveled.

What is crossing?

Hilgner didn't know what it meant, but he somehow felt that this was not his first birth, and he was not the child of his current parents.

Although such determination came too inexplicably, his parents in Hilgna's life accepted him very frankly, as well as his obvious abnormality.

Hilgner is very grateful that they have raised him and gave him the best things they can, so he will only recognize them as his parents, even if they are just the most ordinary Orion couple deep in the foothills.

"Let's go." Hilgna listened attentively to the movement outside the door, and was satisfied to hear those footsteps leaving his hut.

This hut is actually not his residence, but a resting place built by Hilgner for the convenience of hunting on the foothills, but the more things get to the back, it is like a second home.

There will be some things that Hilgna made on a whim, as well as prey that were too large to bring back.

Those people will come here directly. It seems that the prostitute named Samhat is very good at holding the spirit.

The place where this hut is built is hidden, and the terrain is steep and precipitous, so ordinary people can't get up there.

If it can be found here too... Oops!

It was only at this moment that Hilgner realized that he shouldn't waste any more time. He swept today's prey and items on the table into the back basket he made, and immediately ran out of the hut in the wind.

Hilgner's footsteps were very fast. He grabbed the top of the tree and swung directly across the cliff. His toes were a little bit on the branches, and he moved nimbly through the dense canopy. Those sharp thorny branches and leaves became like animals. As soft as hair, she stroked his skin gently without leaving any wounds on his body.

But no matter how fast Hilgna is, by the time he arrived at the other side of the mountain, the girl named Samhart was already sitting in his home, and his parents were with Samhart, full of surprises. .

Hilgner frowned displeasedly. He ignored the soldiers standing in the courtyard with weapons in their hands, and also ignored the green-haired girl with sparkling eyes when she saw him appear. Instead, he softly called out to his parents: "Father, mother, I'm back. This is the prey I caught today. I shouldn't have to worry about food this winter."

After seeing him come back, Hilgna's parents were visibly relieved, and hurriedly asked him to come quickly and greet the distinguished guests from the royal city.

Hilgner was busy putting the tanned wolf fur and cured bacon into the woven straw basket, while his mother took out a clean white cloth from the room and wiped it for Hilgner. Thin sweat on the face.

"You child, you don't know how to take care of yourself so much. After you go to the capital, you have to be taken care of by Master Samhart." She said, with deep maternal love and worry in her eyes.

Silgnag's mother has dark skin and dark black hair. If you really want to say that Silgnag resembles her in the end, it probably only has the same blue eyes.

But if you look closely, the colors of their eyeballs are not the same. Hilgna's eye color is more clear and light, like a lake sparkling in the sun, or a cloudless sky, while the color of mother's eyeballs Go deeper.

Hilgner doesn't care about the difference between himself and his parents. After all, the skin color of working people is often darker. When he saw his appearance in the water, he couldn't help but wonder if he had albinism, which is why he showed his whole body. It looks like it has faded, as if there was no ink when God made him.

Of course, after the word albinism popped up in his mind, Hilgner also thought about what it meant for a long time, and his inner voice told himself that it was just like him now, even if both parents had dark hair, but the child But it has white hair and light-colored eyes, and its natural skin is also white.

This is a congenital disorder caused by a genetic mutation and is often short-lived.

Hilgna was concerned about the short life at first, but later he found that he eats well, not only is he flexible, but also has great strength, not to mention other bodily functions. The best hunter ever.

He was the one who hunted and killed an entire pack of wolves that almost endangered the residents of the foothills.

After Hilgner heard these words, his gaze finally fell on Samhart.

"I should have told you that I have no plan to go to the capital with you."

Hilgner was already a little displeased, but he told himself in his heart that he should be gentle and considerate to women, even if you don't like her no matter how you look at her.

"But your parents don't seem to think so."

Samhart put down the cup in her hand, and she said to Hilgna seriously: "After all, this is a gift from the goddess, and this is an honor."

"That's right, Hill, Lord Samhart is right. This mountain forest is too small. If you can go to the Royal City, you will definitely be happier!"

Hilgner's mother is just an ordinary mountain resident, she only knows that these well-dressed and good-looking people will take her child to a more prosperous big city so that he can live a good life.

She has always felt guilty, if Hilgner is not her child, with his ability, he must have become a big man long ago, instead of being forced to be with them, working hard every day, worrying about food and cold, it is too hard .

If Hilgner found out about her mother's worries, she would definitely refute her, and he didn't find it hard at all.

Although the family is poor, the daily food depends on what kind of prey they hunt up the mountain, and even if they are lucky enough to hunt good prey, they can't let go of their stomachs.

Since he was able to walk on the ground, Hilgner tried to catch prey by himself, so that his parents could eat more and become healthier.

Fortunately, the voice in his heart knew a lot of things, and gradually made life better for the parents at home.

The mother's thin body has also become rounded, and now the cottage with the fenced yard was also built with the help of the sound.

It is precisely because of this that Hilgner discovered the difference between himself and others.

He can move for a long time after eating a meal, and his eyesight, movement, and strength are much better than his parents.

This also made Hilgner a well-known number one hunter when he was only seven years old.

Coupled with some strange methods provided by the occasional voice in his head, Hilgna discovered that in terms of food, even the nearby bustling city could not compare.

If he didn't look so different from the people around him, I'm afraid those who proposed to his daughter would rush up wave after wave regardless of the dangers of the mountain, and step on the threshold of his house.

But Silgner also knew that his mother seemed to have completely turned against Samhart, and was nervously talking about what clothes and luggage to prepare for him.

"It's getting dark, I'll cook first, let's talk about it later." Silgner knew at a glance that he couldn't convince his mother, he sighed, picked up the venison he had hunted today, and walked back.

Seeing that Hilgner was about to leave the room, Samhart hurriedly followed: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Samhart originally wanted to please Hilgna. After all, for her who grew up in the temple, she had never done any rough work at all, and the heaviest thing she ever carried was probably silk cloth.

Hilgner glanced at her and didn't answer. He just carried a whole stag with ease, and then started cutting on a flat bluestone.

"Uh..." Samhart had never seen such a bloody scene. Even though she had eaten venison, it was already cooked and cut.

But soon, Samhart was attracted by Hilgner's movements as smooth as a musical instrument, the sharpened bone knife easily cut the stag's stomach from the lower abdomen, and the bright red Intestines and entrails were pulled out and thrown aside.

"Uh uh..." Samhart covered her mouth and nose, and couldn't help taking a step back. Now that the sky is not completely dark, she can see the organs thrown on the thinner stone slabs on the top The spring water flowing from the hollow trunk of the tree was washed, and the blood flowed along the terrain to a low cliff not far away, and then disappeared completely.

Samhart's eyes were attracted by the strange thing. She carefully lifted her feet and walked towards the bluestone slab. She saw the pipe that changed the direction of the mountain spring in mid-air, and the transparent and surging spring water. She couldn't help stretching out her hand, catching cold spring water at the pouring outlet.

"Woo! It's so cold!" Samhart withdrew his hand, feeling his fingers ache like frostbite.

But after taking a few breaths, Samhart's slightly red fingers returned to white.

But after personally feeling the coldness of the spring water, she couldn't help looking at Hilgner who was cutting the venison into pieces in astonishment. He seemed completely unaware of the cold and was concentrating on processing the main course of dinner.

"Hilgner? Excuse me—are you listening to me?" Samhart stared at the handsome side face of the white-haired boy, feeling itchy in his heart, but she didn't get any reply to her conversation, which made him feel uncomfortable because of his appearance. And Samhart, who was favored by the royal family and the goddess, suddenly became angry.

Isn't the delicate and cute girl more worth staring at than the pile of bloody meat! ?

Samhart tried to attract Hilgner's attention with his eyes, but Hilgner could completely ignore her enthusiastic gaze, then silently processed the venison, and put the washed blood into the grass basket. into another room.

Samhart still wanted to follow, but this time Hilgner stopped her: "I don't like others watching when I'm cooking, please stay."

Before she could react, Samhart was locked out of the door by him, and it seemed that he still couldn't open the door.

Samhart gritted his teeth and felt sullen. After realizing that there was really nothing he could do about Hilgna, he could only turn around and go back to the main house wearily.

After Samhart returned to the main house, the Orion couple became more reserved and refused to sit down. They just stood aside and asked her what she needed from time to time.

Samhart had bumped into several walls with Hilgner, and now he doubted his own charm in frustration, and he didn't have time to greet the couple.

Just as the awkward silence echoed in the main house, an extremely alluring aroma penetrated into everyone's noses.

Orion breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face relaxed visibly: "Hill, are you ready?"

"Yes, father, dinner will be ready soon. I will move the table out later, the wind is milder tonight, and it is more comfortable to eat outside."

Hilgner's voice came from behind, and Samhart wanted to help, but when he remembered how rude he was to him just now, he sat back on the chair and did not move.

However, smelling such a tempting aroma, Samhart still swallowed his throat and swallowed the secreted saliva, thinking that even if he was hungry and left here angrily, he would never eat it. A bite of Hilgna's food!

Hilgna came out carrying a strange wooden product, and on his right hand was a straw basket covered with emerald green leaves.

He shook the wooden product in his left hand, and the long piece of wood turned into a square table in an instant. , and Samhart had never seen anything like it.

Samhart couldn't help pressing the button, and after receiving the warning from Hilgner that "don't move around, it will fall apart", he pursed his lips, thinking that since it would fall apart, it's not a big deal, and couldn't help but Quietly heaved a sigh of relief.

If there are novelties that Uruk doesn't have in such a remote mountain, wouldn't this make the adults in the capital feel ashamed?

Hilgner didn't know about the drastic changes in Samhart's inner emotions, he just wanted to let these uninvited 'guests' finish their meal, and then go as far away from their family.

"Mmm!" Samhart, who originally wanted to criticize what Hilgna made was useless, was conquered the moment the steaming meat piece entered his mouth—it smells so good!

I don’t know how Hilgna did it. The delicious juice was locked in the meat, and the mouth exploded between the teeth. The unprecedented deliciousness immediately made Samhart’s consciousness fly to the top. The sky is clouded.

The delicacy enjoyed by the gods is probably no more than this!

Samhart, who was immersed in delicious food, didn't notice how disrespectful his idea was.

Although Hilgna looked indifferent, he also divided some food for the soldiers standing outside guarding. The leaves were covered with juicy brown pieces of meat. The hot and fragrant food made these soldiers who had experienced many battles They couldn't help but swallowed, and looked at their captain eagerly.

After finally getting the nod, they couldn't wait to tear off a small piece with their teeth, and swallowed eagerly, not caring that the hot piece of meat would burn their throats.

This rare delicacy also conquered the soldiers of the royal capital. When everyone was immersed in eating, Hilgna slowly picked up the leaves, wrapped the meat, and then gnawed down the leaves.

Samhart saw this scene better when she raised her head, but just when she wanted to laugh at Hilgna's vulgar behavior in her heart, she saw Hilgna's parents doing the same, and the satisfied expression on her face made her shudder. I couldn't help but feel a move in my heart.

Samhart looked at the leaves on the table and couldn't help poking them. Unlike the ordinary leaves used to wrap food, this kind of leaves seemed to be much more brittle.

After hesitating for a while, Samhart quickly looked around and found that no one was looking at him, so he carefully tore off a part of the blade, hugged the piece of meat and quickly put it into his mouth.

Mmm!It's even more delicious than simply eating that venison piece!

Although the juice is enough, it will still be greasy if you eat too much, but the cold and refreshing leaves just neutralize the fatness of the meat, and the crunchy taste simply surprised Samhart!

It can be said that the meal was enjoyed by all the guests. After tasting Hilgner's craftsmanship, Samhart could no longer hold on to his previous haughty posture.

But Goddess Ningsun's orders must be fulfilled, otherwise...

Samhart's body trembled for a while, and when he thought of the terrible divine punishment that would befall him, he couldn't help feeling cold all over his body.

So when Hilgna went to clean up the mess, Samhart followed him. She was still crying out of fear, begging Hilgna to go back to the capital with her, and confessed that if Hilgna didn't go back to the capital with her If they go back together, then she will suffer cruel punishment.

Facing the girl whose eyes and nose were red from crying, Hilgner patiently listened to Samhart's request this time, and also thought about it seriously, but the last words he uttered were: "Although I sympathize with you, But I don't want to go to the capital, and I don't need a foster mother."

Samhart was crying so much that she was about to hiccup. Although she was a prostitute of the temple and loved by the royal family and the goddess, if she failed to complete the oracle, it would be her dereliction of duty, and the dereliction of the prostitute Some are replaced by people, even if she disappears, those high-ranking people who once loved her will not feel sad at all.

And judging from the short time we spent together, it might be very difficult for the soldiers to forcefully capture Hilgna.

As for threatening his parents...Samhart also considered it, but the alarm sounded from her heart made her give up this plan.

"Hill." At this moment, Hill's father came to his side, calling him in a deep voice.

Samhart instinctively felt that this was a turning point, so he just made up an excuse and left, leaving room for this completely different father and son.

Hilgner pursed his lips and replied softly: "Father."

But did not ask follow-up.

He knew what his father wanted to say, but he just didn't want to.

"Do you think you are strong enough? Or do you think you are powerful enough? This land is so big, you shouldn't waste your life around us, in this mountain forest. Son, I know you are worried about us, but Have you ever thought about whether we would like to be your burden?"

Hilgner turned his head away, refusing to meet his father's gaze.

Until a hand covered with calluses stroked his hair, and there was that gentle voice of advice: "Go to the royal capital, my child, let your name spread throughout this land, and let your body know your name." Glory to us, your parents!"

"...But my parents, there are only you." Silgner was finally willing to turn his head around, and he looked at his father stubbornly, and said so.

"Hahahaha, why not have another mother to love you? Our child is so good, even the goddess thinks so! What's more, it is our honor to be the relative of the same child as the goddess!"

Hilgner looked at his father's face full of smiles, and after being silent for a while, slowly said: "I see, I will go."

"—But I have a condition." When Samhart heard Hilgna say this to himself, he nodded quickly without even listening to any conditions.

Hilgner's condition is very simple, that is, to take his parents to a nearby city and settle them properly, and give them enough money to live.

Such a condition is a trivial matter for Samhart, who is a prostitute. After arranging for the Orion couple, their business can finally set foot on the road back to the capital.

The royal capital of Uruk is different from any city that Hilgna has ever been to.

The lively atmosphere, the crowded flow of people, and those novelty items that had never been seen before made Hilgna couldn't help but stop and take a closer look.

Not only was Samhart not angry, but he was secretly proud.

See, this is the prosperous Uruk capital under the joint rule of our king and goddess!

You don't want to come yet, now you know how powerful it is!

Although such childish thoughts shouldn't have appeared on her, but Samhart suffered too much from Hilgner, so she couldn't help but want this indifferent young man to show her a surprised expression.

However, Hilgner's footsteps only stopped for a while on the road just entering the city. When he entered the gorgeous and tidy street where the nobles lived, Samhart slowed down on purpose, just to let him take a good breath. Take a look at this magnificent and gorgeous building.

But Hilgner only glanced at it, and urged Samhat to hurry up: "Don't you still want to return to the goddess? Don't you fear that the goddess will punish you for being so slow?"

Although this guy has a good-looking face, his personality is completely unlikable! !

Samhart gritted his teeth and quickened his pace.

When she came to a golden temple, the unhappiness remaining on her face disappeared in an instant, revealing the dignity and elegance of a prostitute, as well as tranquility and nobility.

Such a change in Samhart made Hilgna couldn't help but glance at her.

She bowed to Hilgna, and said softly: "Our god of protection is waiting for you inside."

Hilgna glanced at her, patted her tense shoulders, and stepped into the deep temple.

Samhart felt the warmth falling on her body, and couldn't help the tip of her nose sore, but she controlled herself well and didn't look up.

After entering this temple, Hilgna of the mountain land will become the adopted son of King Uruk, and he will become the brother, partner and right-hand man of the next crown prince Gilgamesh. Mesh charged forward.

This is the fate that Hilgna, the "man with the brilliance" should have.

And Samhart is just a guide, and after today, he has no contact with Hilgna.

Samhart warned himself not to have wishful thinking in his heart, and retreated obediently.

Goddess Ningsun is beautiful and majestic.

If she hadn't given Hilgna the hint order to 'protect Gilgamesh no matter what' or 'protect Uruk no matter what' when she first saw Hilgna, Hilgna might have treated her more. Have a good impression.

Originally speaking according to reason, he could not resist or break the hint of the goddess.

But it was very strange, in Hilgna's eyes, when the words with divine power came into contact with him, they turned into golden fragments, all of which were isolated from his body.

The Goddess didn't seem to think that the little human boy would have the ability to deflect her own hints, so she didn't realize that the human beings who looked away and looked away didn't actually follow the hints she gave.

After the arrogant and free-wheeling goddess gave the hint order, she stopped looking at Hilgna again. After her phantom disappeared from the temple, after a while, Samhart ran in panting, ready to take Follow Hilgna into the palace.

Hilgna didn't resist. Although he didn't accept the implied order, he also sensed that the power of the gods was as arrogant and unreasonable as their characters.

The current self is not her opponent, and if Hilgner escapes at will, leaving aside Hilgner himself, his parents may be doomed.

Although Hilgna was born in an ordinary Orion family in the mountains, his pride and self-esteem would never allow him to give in and retreat in the face of the gods.

There is ample time.
