My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 712 Farewell to Jin Shanshan

"Welcome to the city of Uruk. We are people who fight for survival, and we will do so at any cost. I have memorized your faces, and I hope to see you again alive."

After waving goodbye to the enthusiastic soldier, Fujimaru withdrew his gaze and sighed with lingering fear.

"I almost thought I was going to try to sneak in again and then encounter a battle..."

When they bypassed the battle line and arrived at the gate of Uruk, the dead memories began to attack Fujimaru, causing him to hold his breath, fearing that a beast that had been strengthened three times was waiting for him under the city wall.

Fortunately, this time they were led by an expert and passed through the city gate safely.

"Don't worry. Before we set out, I asked the person in charge of the sacrificial site for a seal." Merlin smiled and shook the necklace in his hand. "We entered Uruk with a legitimate identity. Don't worry about any problems."

Click, click, click.

There was a hamster-like gnawing sound beside her. When Anna noticed that everyone was looking at her, her face turned slightly red. She pulled off her hood and hid herself.

Looking at the half-eaten snack in her hand, Fujimaru looked away with understanding: "But I didn't expect the people of Uruk to be so welcoming and even give snacks to Anna."

"Are petite girls really more popular?" A certain white-haired sage sighed pretentiously, "If I had known earlier, I would have disguised myself like this when I appeared in the world..."

"No matter how you pretend, you can't hide your hopeless soul."

"Even if it's an understatement, Merlin is like a magician who has condensed all the dishonesty in the world into one."

Anna and Shuoyue criticized Merlin without any hesitation. They looked at each other, the former quickly looked away, while the latter noticed the curiosity hidden in the boy's eyes and smiled understandingly.

"Speaking of which, Merlin, how did you meet Anna?"

Merlin glanced at Anna, and when he saw that the girl didn't say anything, he patted his chest and said, "I met Anna two days ago when I was lost in this forest. I met her and got to know her. She looked frightened as if she was being chased by someone, so I was kind enough to take in the homeless girl."

It seems like someone is chasing me... Shuoyue's expression froze, and in response to Merlin's words, Anna tucked in her hat brim, and her soft mumbling could be heard from under the hood.

"In the end, I was completely deceived... If I didn't want to see that woman again, I would not have agreed to the contract with this liar."

Merlin, however, acted as if he had not seen or heard anything, and led the way with a smile on his face:
"We'll be in the downtown area in a few more steps, so don't be too surprised when we get there."

"What's so surprising? It's just the ancient city of Uruk." The doctor was determined to go against Merlin. "Since it's a civilization that just emerged during the Age of Gods, it must be a very barbaric city... Guga!"

When Fujimaru's shared vision was transmitted back to the control room, Dr. Roman let out a useless scream.

"This, what is this!"

If you can't see the whole picture from a distance, now when you step into Uruk in person and look around, you can experience the vastness and prosperity of this city firsthand.

"New arrival, new arrival~! A large amount of autumn beer has arrived~!"

"The King also loves the latest work of Atelier Dumuzi! Only now can you taste this ultimate beer foam!"

"Currency exchange, currency exchange, please come here~! Now, one [Sheep Silver] can be exchanged for five [Fish Silver], and one [Wheat Silver] can be exchanged for three [Turtle Silver]!"

"Everyone! The western region is recruiting people to carry clay! No, wait, the military academy is also short of manpower! If this continues, the guns sent to the north wall will become branches! Those who have experience in making weapons, please come to the military academy! We can talk about building arrow towers later, later!"

"Hey, flower shop~, this is Merulu's flower shop! Although everyone is busy fighting day and night, don't forget to add some color to your life! Whether it's a celebration or a gift for your wife, you can come and consult about anything~!"

The scorching sound waves rushed over like the enthusiasm of the people, holding hands, singing and dancing around Fujimaru and his group. Although it was wartime, the city was lively and bustling, and none of the citizens were depressed. Everywhere you could see, there was smoke rising from the production of weapons, and the sound of smelting and forging could be heard day and night.

The firelight in the middle of the night illuminated the sky red, and people walked on the criss-crossing roads with smiles on their faces. This kind of bustle that even modern cities can hardly find made Fujimaru and Anna, who were visiting for the first time, and everyone in the control room, stunned where they were.

“Okay…” Anna opened her mouth slightly.

"Okay..." The doctor's eyes widened.

"It's so lively!" Fujimaru exclaimed. "Of course, this is the current state of Uruk, the oldest fortress city of mankind." Sakutsuki looked around, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "Although everyone is nervous and in a hurry, they all smile... This city is not filled with despair, but with the will to fight and the energy to survive."

"Not only that...how can there be such an orderly street!" The doctor in the control room retrieved various data, but still found it unbelievable. "Look at the map over there. The areas are clearly divided according to the duties, and the transportation network extends in all directions. The military industry, construction, commerce, and life have been redesigned to meet all aspects of needs--"

"What kind of ancient settlement is this? This is a perfect "battle city" that can work in modern times!"

After exchanging glances with Da Vinci, the doctor came to a firm conclusion: "This is definitely not a product of this era. Someone must have received information from the future and built such a huge network... But even if it is someone from the future, this plan is too complete and advanced!"

"Even Leonardo da Vinci would have needed nearly a month to design a city like this." The 'all-powerful man' next to the doctor spread his hands, "After all, there are too many aspects involved."

"Who on earth could have created this 'miracle'..." Fujimaru muttered to himself, and laughter could be heard from behind him.

"Oh my, if this continues, some people will be embarrassed, right?" Merlin poked the young man with white hair and golden eyes, with a mischievous expression, "The last Knight of the Round Table?"

"When faced with praise from my friends, I will only accept it with gratitude." Sakutsuki seemed very calm. Only when Fujimaru and Anna looked at him in shock did he reveal a snicker. "Compared to some guys' icing on the cake, perhaps my timely help is more worthy of overwhelming praise?"

"Of course. I never thought that this place was designed by you, Shuoyue!" Roman praised her politely. "This is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. It's a city that any country can be proud of!"

"Hey, hey, don't treat me differently like this. If you keep going like this, I'll cry."

"Oh."

"Read."

"It's not a sin for a man to cry."

"I'll turn my back..."

Facing Merlin's accusation, everyone ignored it indifferently. Fujimaru looked at the scene of ancient Babylon curiously and couldn't help but sighed: "The country is well-organized, and the people are safe and happy... It really deserves to be Uruk under the rule of King Gilgamesh."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fujimaru found that everyone around him was looking at him with strange eyes. Merlin opened his mouth to speak, but Sakutsuki raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop chatting:

"If the rules haven't changed before I leave, King Gilgamesh will finish approving government affairs in half an hour. If you don't want to queue up for a number tomorrow, it's best to break into the palace today when this nightmare is getting motivated."

"You're right. King Gilgamesh is very busy." The white-haired nightmare said with a smile, "So Fujimaru, we'll talk about the king while we walk. Although I really want to take you to see the city of Uruk, before that, let's meet the person in charge of the human side of this singularity first."

----

What kind of person is King Gilgamesh?
Walking on the street leading straight to the palace, Shuoyue's eyes flickered slightly as he listened silently to Merlin's nonsense:
"He is an outstanding tyrant among the ancient kings. He severed relations with the gods just because they were too arrogant! He took all the beauties in the country and all the treasures in the world for himself! If you agree with the king's opinion, you will die. If you disagree, you will also die. He is such an unreasonable king!"

“What a horror…” Roman swallowed his saliva as if he was listening to a ghost story and shouted, “This must be a bad guy! The information we investigated is completely different from what we found!”

Da Vinci's clear voice introduced the hero Gilgamesh from Chaldea: "Gilgamesh, the hero king, was born between gods and humans. He was approachable and a wise man in his childhood, but he showed the opposite characteristics in his youth and became a tyrant that no one could do anything about... That's what Merlin said."

After walking past rows of fully armed guards, Fujimaru could already see the lights in the palace that were on all night long, and Leonardo da Vinci's story continued.

"In order to warn him, the gods created Enkidu who appeared before us. Of course, he is now called Kingu. It is said that Enkidu and Gilgamesh fought for three days and three nights in front of the temple, but for some reason, they became close friends—"

[In short, he made bold statements, claiming that the treasure he possessed was the prototype of various treasures, and that he was the most arrogant and cruel tyrant on the surface of the earth. This was Gilgamesh, the guy that someone wanted to meet.]

When Shuoyue heard this in his heart, he raised his head and looked upwards as if he sensed something.

There was someone sitting on the throne, holding a clay tablet, with a face full of an angry look of "don't get close to me".

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Xian Wang Shan, the young man smiled silently.

【Look, he is right in front of you. 】
