I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

Halfway through the words, Goddess Ningsun paused, and she looked at her child tenderly...

"The dark boat represents the rules of the world, and it is the incarnation of the rules that arouse your hostility. The giant dogs and dead souls ignore your existence, my poor child, how much loneliness you are enduring in this world ..."

Wang comforted his mother: "I have been born with a conclusion, and the fruit of loneliness is my decision. I want to ask my mother why that monster makes me laugh."

Like an all-knowing mother with a smile on her face; "Fate has shown mercy to my son. A traveler from afar is coming soon. He can clearly see the king's loneliness and make the king smile every day..."

......

"I always feel like I'm going to get fat if I stay for a few more days." In the hotel in Uruk specially used to entertain outsiders, Seleus sighed with satisfaction while biting the lamb chops.

The aroma of grilled mutton permeates the entire room. Once you bite down, the fragrant juice spreads directly from the tip of the tongue to the entire mouth.Perhaps because Uruk itself is relatively wealthy, the mutton with a lot of spices gave Seleus a stronger sense of satisfaction than in the city of Eresh.

"Unfortunately, it is more expensive. I have only lived for thirteen days, and I have already used sixteen daggers."

You get what you pay for, because a lot of spices are added, plus Serius’ uncontrollable appetite when encountering delicious food, what old Tim bought for Serius is enough for a family of three to live comfortably for three years. He has already used most of the bronze dagger from his prosperous days.

However, these thirteen days were not completely fruitless for Seleus, perhaps because he was quick and generous, and obviously possessed a divine temperament that was different from ordinary people, but his attitude was very approachable, which made Seleus and The surrounding Uruk people have established a good relationship, so they are willing to tell Seleus the name of the king, Gilgamesh, and some specific deeds about the king.

Gilgamesh's wise deeds are no different from what Old Tim told him before, foretelling disasters, building a ring city, forming an army, building roads... Every old man in Uruk remembers these things clearly.

But it is precisely because they have personally experienced the great achievements of the king that the brutality displayed by Gilgamesh at this time makes them even more unforgettable.

The justice and order created by the king himself were trampled on by him; the wealth that the king bestowed on the people became an excuse for him to oppress the people; The first night of the young woman is taken away by force; opposing the king's order is a dead end, and even agreeing with the king's choice will be severely punished...

To be honest, it is not normal but understandable for a king to become brutal from a wise man, but there are many objective factors in it, such as Wang's aging body makes him unable to deal with things, and his thinking is also affected , or the catharsis of wealth and desire made Wang indulge in it and not think about making progress...

But there was no reason for Gilgamesh's transformation. He grew up as a young man, and his body functions continued to grow and strengthen. No matter how you think about it, it has nothing to do with aging.

Indulging in wealth or desire seems to be a bit of a borderline, but it is not tenable when you think about it carefully.The prosperity of the entire Uruk was achieved under the leadership of Gilgamesh. If you want wealth, you don’t need to squeeze the little money from the people. The appearance fee is not enough.

As for the first night power of the folk girl, Gilgamesh doesn't even look down on the goddess, can you expect the mortals at that time to have a beauty comparable to the beauty of the gods?...

The more Serius inquired, the more confused he became about Gilgamesh's behavior, which is why he stayed in the hotel and did not go to Gilgamesh for a long time.It is one thing to argue with Gilgamesh without finding the essence of the matter. Whether he can be persuaded is one thing. Even if he uses force to make Gilgamesh compromise, the suppressed Gilgamesh will remain the same after he leaves this world.

So Seleus planned to observe for a while until he found the reason why Gilgamesh became a tyrant on his own initiative, but something unexpected interrupted Seleus' plan...

"Have you heard that the Holy Marriage Ceremony will be held again on the first day." The innkeeper Tabor sat directly opposite Serius after serving the food, and then frowned and said today to Serius. The news I heard when I went to the market to exchange mutton for Serius.

"Holy marriage? King Gilgamesh is getting married?!" The sudden news choked Serius, who was devouring the mutton, and hurriedly took the ale handed by Tabor and drank it in one gulp, which made his face pale. Much better.

"Isn't this a good thing? The married King Gilgamesh should take care of the other girls." Seleus didn't understand Tabor's sorrow, he thought about what the married Gilgamesh thought It should also be more restrained.

"What a good thing this is! A holy marriage is not that the king wants to get married, but that the king chooses prostitutes who serve the gods in the name of the gods!" Hearing that Seleus said it was a good thing, Tabor became obviously very excited, but thinking of Serius was just a traveler who had been in Uruk for less than half a month, and he sighed helplessly.

"This is not the first time. Every once in a while, the king will select a young girl for a holy marriage, saying that it is to select a prostitute for the gods, but no gods will appear from the beginning to the end."

"What about after the Holy Marriage? I mean what will happen to that girl?" Seleus realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Since she is a prostitute dedicated to the gods, she will naturally stay in the temple of Uruk, which is Jigurat, for the rest of her life."

"Didn't it mean that there were no gods from the beginning to the end? And I also heard that the city god of Uruk is the goddess Ishtar. Who should I serve in the selection of prostitutes?"

The prostitutes were selected in the name of the gods but no gods came, and the city god of Uruk was still a goddess. What did Gilgamesh want to do?

"In Uruk, kings are equal to gods..." Tabor said the truth with a bitter face after he drank a glass of ale.

"A king is equal to a god." There was still half of the delicious mutton left, but Seleus was in no mood to eat any more. "To serve God is to serve the king, and to serve God is to serve the king."

"When will the Holy Marriage be held tomorrow?" Seleus made a decision, and he was going to stop it.

Although the reason for Gilgamesh's transformation has not yet been found, Seleus does not intend to wait any longer.If you don't see things, you can deceive yourself for a better tomorrow, but now that you are in Uruk, how can you watch a young girl being brutally robbed of her future life.

"Tomorrow...tomorrow night." Looking at the suddenly aggressive Serius, Tabor swallowed his saliva. Because of Serius's kind attitude all the time, he almost forgot that Serius was obviously not an ordinary person. fact.

"Tomorrow night, really picked a good time..." Seleus stroked his chin. "In every sense of the word..."

......

On the second day, when dawn was about to fall, thousands of Uruk residents gathered in the square in front of the palace, waiting for the holy wedding...

The holy marriage of Wang Manhuang made the people of Uruk very worried, because although the object of the holy marriage today was a girl they were not familiar with, Uruk was so old, and no one knew where the next girl would be snatched away. home daughter.

But despite this, under the coercion of Gilgamesh, the people of Uruk had to pretend to be happy to participate in this holy marriage, which was held by God in name and meant to pray for good weather.

Wearing a white robe that can only cover a part of his body, Gilgamesh, whose hair stands on end, is sitting on a golden carriage pulled by a lion. The golden king props his chin with one hand, watching indifferently. Crowds of people on both sides of the street.

According to Gilgamesh's temperament in the past, these subjects who dared to smile uglier than cry at the holy wedding ceremony would definitely be severely punished, but he had just had a strange dream some time ago, and he has been thinking about the one in the mouth of his mother Ningsun. "Ling Wang is a traveler with a smile every day", so he doesn't have the time to care about the performance of these subjects.

"The mercy of fate and the loneliness of seeing through the king?" Gilgamesh raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and a smile of mockery or expectation appeared on his face. "Ridiculous... Mmm!"

The vigorously thrown battle ax flew towards the king's throne in a circle, and the wind pressure driven by its rotation made Gilgamesh realize the huge power contained in it. It was a powerful attack that even he with divine power could not easily receive.

"boom!"

Gilgamesh, who is both a king and a hero, dodged this powerful blow, but his golden chariot frame, which he could not dodge, was easily crushed, and the lion pulling the chariot was terrified, and it buried its head Under the claws, the body also kept trembling because of fear.

"How courageous! Where did the miscellaneous repair come from, dare to offend the king's throne." Gilgamesh, who jumped to the side, looked back at his wrecked frame, and stared at his red eyes with angry vertical eyes, showing his body of Seleus.

"Although it was my offense first, this arrogance is really annoying." Frowning in displeasure, the red-haired warrior who suddenly appeared slowly walked towards the battle ax thrown by him, and pulled it out Aimed at the angry king.

"Offending the queen not only does not commit suicide and apologizes, but even continues to fight the king..." Golden ripples emerged behind the king, and two strange swords with movable hilts protruded from the ripples, an angry Gilgamesh Shi directly held the hilt of the sword with both hands and slashed the red-haired warrior in front of him with a double draw.

Taking into account the people around him, Seleus did not choose to fight Gilgamesh directly in Uruk, but dodged the sharp blades that Gilgamesh cut from both sides, and then quickly ran out of the city go.

"You bastard! This king will kill you to pieces!" Seleus's act of turning and running away directly confused Gilgamesh. A sense of humiliation of being played in public filled his heart. The King of Gold was completely enraged at this moment.

The king with two swords in his hands chased after him, but he obviously underestimated the running speed of the red-haired thief—even though the king had tried his best, the distance between them hadn't narrowed in the slightest.

Even though his eyes were full of anger, the sane king realized the gap in strength between him and the thief in front of him, but this discovery undoubtedly made the lonely king's anger even higher.

Knowing that he would never be able to catch up, the king assembled the two swords from the hilt, and the movable blade stretched slightly backwards. The golden brilliance emerged from the tip of the sword and quickly formed a bowstring.Almost in the blink of an eye, the strange twin swords turned into a mighty longbow in the king's hands.

"Are there even bows and arrows that can be folded these days?" Seleus, who has spare power, has been paying attention to Gilgamesh's various actions, and then he was shocked by the coquettish operation of double swords turning into a long bow.

"clang!"

The king, who was moving at high speed, drew his longbow, and the arrow transformed into brilliance accurately shot towards the heart of Seleus, but was easily blocked by the well-prepared Seleus.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The unbelieving Wang frantically pulled the bowstring, but no matter how many arrows he shot, he couldn't hurt the other party at all, and the distance between the two remained unchanged.

Eight golden ripples appeared behind Wang, and moved forward following Wang's steps.Noticing the situation behind him, Seleus looked back curiously. He wanted to see what unique weapons the king had besides the magical longbow.

Unexpectedly, the king who had been mad by anger directly shot out those magical weapons of various shapes, and even in order not to be pulled away by Serius, he let those shot weapons be knocked away by Serius without any action at all. Recycle, and spread out the golden ripples even more crazily, using countless weapons to directly bombard Serius when it is saturated.

"What the hell is this? Is there no limit to his number?" Although these weapons did not pose any threat to Serius at all, the aggressive way of attack really startled him, almost subconsciously. He opened his eyes of truth, wanting to analyze the situation of Gilgamesh's attack method.

Keenly noticed that the right eye of Seleus suddenly exuded golden light, Gilgamesh, who was about to be dazzled by anger, woke up instantly, and the different pupils of the thief in front of him directly overlapped with the monster embracing him in the dream.

"It's you?!..."

Chapter 24 The King's Friend

Wang Xinsheng was troubled by his mother's words, whether he needed to laugh because he was lonely, but the joy in his dream was so wonderful that Wang could only wait for his fate to come.

The red-haired traveler came to the king's city. He was the most powerful, and the giant ax in his hand could easily split the mountains.

The people of Uruk surrounded him, and they prayed to the traveler in grief: "A mighty hero like a god, please fight against the cruelty of the king. The tyrant robbed the daughter of the city, making her life no longer laughable."

The traveler agreed to their request, determined to discipline the arrogance of the tyrant.

The people began to cheer happily, and settled the traveler's dwelling, just waiting for Gilgamesh's arrival.

On the urban avenue to welcome the girl, the king's carriage was obstructed by travelers, and the golden throne was split by a battle axe, causing even the lion to howl incessantly.

"You also want to warn the great king!" The king's eyes were burning with flames, and the twin swords that gleamed coldly were already held in his hands.

"You arrogant and unreasonable tyrant, let me correct your arrogance." The traveler raised the battle ax high, and the blade of the ax was facing the king's temple.

This battle is about to break out, and the tomahawk and the double sword frequently intersect...

......

"Gilgamesh, my poor child. Half-human, half-god, you are neither recognized by the gods nor accepted by people. You have suffered from the unbearable loneliness since your birth."

"What did you see in your eyes that see everything in the world like the brilliance of a star, that made you what you are today?"

"Please forgive me, my poor child. As a mother, I can't know what you saw and heard, but I believe that you, who know the consequences but still want to vent your cruelty, must have some unspeakable difficulties."

"I thought your life would come to an end in solitude, but I am happy to know that fate has revealed His mercy."

"My son Gilgamesh, you will have a friend who understands you. With heterochromatic eyes, he also has eyes that transcend the world. Such a friend will be able to understand you..."

......

I have carried conclusions since I was born, isolated as a being that is neither a god nor a human being...

Mind and heart, two incompatible things exist in my body at the same time, which enables me to observe the world from a unique perspective.

I foresee a flood that will destroy the world, and weak mortals will perish in the majesty of this world.

I didn't want to see that, so I took them high up on the mountain and split the waves that were hitting them.

After the flood receded, I led the surviving people to build a ring city that could protect them, so that they would have a safe place to give birth in peace. I know that only when people pass on their heritage can they have hope for their future.

A city that allows people to live in peace of mind has been established, but in the vast world outside the city walls, monsters that will cause a lot of casualties to people are still wandering around.

The talents of Warcraft are unparalleled, and ordinary people simply cannot compete with them.I can't protect the people within the city walls. In this way, they can only face death in despair after losing most of their food sources. But I am also at my wits end, and I have no way to eliminate the casualties caused by the monsters.

I need to let people have the power to protect themselves, so I formed an army, used various equipment to make up for their innate deficiencies, and used teamwork to narrow the gap with Warcraft.

After several years, people finally have the power to protect themselves from the mouth of monsters.

With the power of self-preservation, the next step is to improve people's lives.The dense forest around the city of Ur is rich in wood and fruit; the city of Kusa is full of rare ores; the city of Eresh is full of vast farmland for people to grow wheat...

Although each city has unique resources, those things that are close to them obviously cannot make people's lives better. Therefore, it is necessary for cities to communicate with each other, so that resources can be used effectively.

But to put it simply, transportation has become the biggest trouble.The potholes and vegetation that popped up from time to time made it extremely difficult to transport supplies. A small truckload of goods required ten men to carry them, and these ten people needed a team of forty soldiers to escort them all the way. There are so many hands in waiting Uruk to do such work.

I thought of road construction, it doesn't need to be too luxurious, just use stones to pave a flat path without vegetation.Using tame animals to pull trucks, one truckload of goods only needs to be equipped with one driver, and the same soldiers can transport several times more goods than before, and the problem of supplies is solved.

...

When I was young, I was determined to fulfill the mission of being the wedge of heaven and God, and to become the best king on this land.

Even if I look at it now, I was tolerant and fair at that time, and I always thought about things carefully. The wisdom from the gods made me perfect no matter what I dealt with. I was a perfect king. From my Can't find any flaws on him.

Walking on the streets of Uruk, people who stop or walk on the side of the road, no matter who they are, will give me admiring glances.And for me at that time, seeing people's happy smiles was the greatest satisfaction for me in Gilgamesh.

But when did I become like this?By the way, it was when I wanted to travel the world on a whim...

At that time, Uruk was already on the right track, and I was about to grow into a young man.I packed my bags and prepared to travel around the world, but my adjutant stopped me: 'My lord, the wheat fields in the west have been threatened by birds, and the farmers have no way to solve it...'

'Make some dummies out of wood and straw, put some clothes on them and stand them on the farmland over there, so that the birds that are afraid of people will not dare to steal our wheat again. 'I remember I told the adjutant that way at the time, because it was just a trivial matter, so I didn't take it to heart after I finished speaking, and then I started my journey around the world.

But it was such a small thing that made my heart start to change...

When I collected countless treasures and returned to Uruk, I saw my adjutant rushing towards me from a distance. I thought something important happened to Uruk while I was away, so I rushed forward in a panic .

"My king, according to your method, we drove away the birds in the west, but all these cunning guys flew to the farmland in the east. When you were away, they ruined a lot of crops. Please think of a way to drive away the birds in the east. bird. '

The adjutant's words made me feel funny. Don't you know that the ready-made methods in the west can be used in the east?He made a joke to the adjutant with joking words, "I don't know how to think about such a simple matter, what would I do without me in the future..."

I was suddenly stunned by my own words—what would they do if I wasn't here in the future?

I came to the water's edge like crazy, and the calm water reflected the face of Gilgamesh—the immature face became resolute, and the thin body became strong. I am not an immortal god, but a powerful one. King of people.

What will happen to people if I'm gone?

This sentence is like an unforgettable curse, which has been echoing in my mind.

The best way is to kill this wedge of sky, but the god who created me is still standing in the sky, I need a way, a way to put an end to that terrible future.

I have always respected the gods who created me, and I have always loved the people who support me, but for a better future, I can only choose to abolish the gods and hate humans.

Since I was born, I have been carrying the conclusion that I am the wedge of heaven that protects human beings, and it is my responsibility as a king to build the civilization and future of human beings and even this planet.

In the past, I thought that as long as people's lives were protected, making them smile on their faces was the meaning of protection.But now I understand that guardians also have to be divided into categories. The future of human beings always needs to be built by themselves. After blindly guarding and preserving, it is time to be cruel and harsh to them.

He is both the adjudicator and the reaper. All the king wants to control is the result.

It's not that I don't know the consequences of doing so, but as I said to my mother, the fruit of loneliness is my heart's resolution, and only those who bear everything are eligible to be crowned kings.

So when my mother said that someone would understand me and be my friend, I smiled helplessly—even my mother was confused by what I did, so how could I expect anyone to understand me?

But even though I am so clear in my heart, I still have a glimmer of hope for the possible friend who has tasted the taste of loneliness...

......

'Is that the guy?From my mother's mouth, a friend who can understand me. Gilgamesh noticed the different-colored eyes of the person in front of him, and his mind, which was dazed by anger, became sober in an instant.

I thought it was just a little thief who offended the majesty of the king, but I never thought that he would have such a powerful force. Not only did the arrows shot by the Terminator Sword have no effect on him, but the treasures thrown when he was so angry that he went crazy also had no effect on him. usefulness.

All this made the king very puzzled, when would there be an existence on the land of Sumer that could compete with him.But if this guy is the variable in the dream, the 'friend' I've been thinking about these days, then everything will make sense.
