My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 753: Uruk's Laziness and Arrogance

The donkey cart creaked as it crossed the mountains and the sea.

"I am not joking. What you saw before was just a moment of embarrassment! My true epic has long been recorded on clay tablets and will be passed down to future generations along with civilization!"

"Damn it, where did I put that clay tablet... Hey, don't stop me, I must show you how powerful the country I lead is, and how peaceful and prosperous my people are!"

“No need to look for it, Jill.” The green-haired beauty leaned lazily against the wall of the car and tapped her head with her hand. “Everything will be recorded on the earth—what the real Uruk looked like, and how you spent the rest of your life in such a ridiculous manner… I remember all of this.”

"Tsk, the Holy Grail of Honore (whispering)."

"Hmm? Did you say anything, Jill?"

"Nothing, we're here." The returning king pulled up the curtains. "Although we have been enduring in silence, modern technology also has its merits. Uruk now has a unique flavor... Hmm?"

Gilgamesh paused, his snake eyes flashed, and he keenly sensed the disharmony in the city.

The priests who were supposed to stay in the sacred tower were now moving and heading hurriedly in the same direction.

Even if it was for the purpose of providing assistance, it was too grand.

"What's wrong?"

The curtain was lowered again, and Gilgamesh turned around with a calm face: "Nothing, I thought I would have some time to relax before sitting on the throne, but now it seems too fantastic."

He raised his eyes and looked at his best friend with waist-length green hair: "Call the cook back. I'm afraid we'll be busy from now on."

"Don't forget to take care of yourself, Jill." Enkidu, who also heard the noise outside the car, smiled slightly. His whole body was suddenly shrouded in a hazy light. When he became clear again, the young man in white maintained his posture by the window with a playful smile.

"The world of two is over?"

"I'll punish you when I'm free, bastard." Gilgamesh glared at Shuoyue, and said rudely, "Now, take me to the palace immediately."

"Okay, okay." Shuoyue shrugged indifferently and snapped his fingers.

The magic light shone, and after a transfer across thousands of miles, they appeared in the spacious palace with their car.

"what!"

A small exclamation was heard, which was soon covered by loud laughter.

"What's wrong, Siduri? It's not like you to be so startled." The curtain of the carriage suddenly lifted up, and the king of Uruk took a heroic step, passed the astonished female priest, sat back on the throne with a majestic horse and a golden sword, and propped up his chin. "It's been a long time since we last met. Do you have anything to report to me?"

“……” After coming back to her senses from Gilgamesh’s sudden appearance, Siduri bit her lip and knelt on the ground as if she had been prepared for it.

"Please punish me for my sins, King."

"Oh?" Wang's eyes flashed, "Siduri, my dearest chief priestess, the smartest woman in all of Uruk, what mistake have you made?"

"I……"

Filled with guilt for her dereliction of duty and irreparable regret, the chief priestess narrated a story that had just happened.

----

"Everyone, stay alert. Even though the herd has retreated, there may be one or two stray animals that pop up!"

On the devastated battlefield, a small team of scouts crouched and searched carefully.

"There is a magical reaction in area B in the southeast."

"Area G, the remains of the murderous bones."

"Wow, what a big catch! This is point E. There is a large piece of Snake Gem!"

Wandering in the jungle of corpses, the patrol team continued to reap the rewards of the war. Unknowingly, they were getting farther and farther away from the human city and closer and closer to the dark forest.

"Okay, that's enough." The centurion said, announcing the end of this exploration. "We are already on the safety line - what are you doing? Don't move!"

He tried to suppress his anger and ordered the soldier who was gradually leaving the team: "What are you doing? Don't leave the range of magic blessing!"

"But, there—" the soldier turned back unwillingly, "I saw several intact dragon scales!"

After a brief silence, the scouts subconsciously widened their eyes, and when they looked at each other, they could see the joy flowing in each other's eyes.

If we were not on a dangerous battlefield, cheers would have resounded through the sky.

resource!

Uruk now needs resources the most!
Whether it is the forging of weapons, the construction of facilities, or even the energy supply of magic circles and divine arts, massive amounts of resources are required!

The dragon's reverse scale is undoubtedly the most precious resource!

Ordinary iron cannot break the skin of monsters, but if the powder made from dragon scales is added, it will become as sharp as mud; the most tempered armor cannot withstand a tear from monsters, but if the scales of the highest level fantasy species are integrated into it, it will become invulnerable to swords and guns and indestructible!

Not to mention how much of a boost the potions mixed with leftover materials can bring to the soldiers!

It can be said that dragon scales not only mean precious resources, but also directly represent the lives of countless soldiers. As long as you get even one piece, it can help dozens or even hundreds of soldiers, and they are more likely to survive the bloody battlefield.

but--

"No, let's give up." The centurion retracted his eager gaze and shook his head with difficulty. "That is no longer within our search range. The magic circle spreading from the city wall has a limit. Once we leave the range, our breath will be immediately discovered by the monsters!"

"I'm very fast, and the dragon scale is very close to me. I can get it with just one step!" The soldier widened his eyes and said anxiously, "Sir, I promise that it will only take one second, no, not even one second, to get it back!"

"Idiot! Don't you understand what I'm saying? Since you still call me commander, then follow my orders and don't say anything more!" The centurion's eyes were rude and brutal. "Do you want to bury our entire team with you just for a piece of dragon scale?"

"There's no need to be so serious, Captain."

"What did you say--" The centurion turned around angrily, and the adjutant who spoke put his arm around his shoulder with an encouraging look.

"There's no need to be so nervous. It's only a moment. With this guy's speed, maybe we can get the dragon scale back before the monster can even sense it."

The centurion frowned and said, "No, the risk is still too great. I can't joke about the lives of our entire team."

"It's alright, Captain."

"Yeah, we have no objection."

"That's a dragon scale. If we can bring it back to Uruk, it doesn't matter if we all die... Hehe, I'm just kidding."

The scouts spoke up one after another, almost unanimously supporting the soldier, and some even bluntly expressed everyone's thoughts.

"Besides, isn't there Miss Tia?"

"If we are in danger, she will definitely come to save us." The girl played beautiful voice on the high wall.

This is exactly why everyone agreed to take the risk and the source of their confidence.

"So, Captain, there's no need to be so stubborn." The adjutant laughed, "The battle line now is not as dangerous as when you fought back then... Oh, he has already taken action."

As if worried that the stubborn centurion would object again, the soldier took a step forward in the expectant eyes of everyone, squatted down, and scooped up several scales with a special silver cloth.

"Success!"

Feeling the rich magic power flowing in his palms, the soldier smiled with surprise. He turned around and excitedly showed the treasure he got to everyone. But before the scouts could show the same smile, a shadow fell in everyone's eyes.

So huge, so... terrifying.

Click!

"Boy--!" The centurion's pupils contracted and his eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot. He wanted to attack, but it was too late.

Behind the soldier, the Babylonian dragon Mushuhushu opened his bloody mouth and, with his gums clenched, ruthlessly bit the fragile human skull into pieces!

The brain mixed with blood exploded, the soldier's brilliant smile had not yet faded, but his body had already fallen to the ground, his clenched hands loosened, and dragon scales scattered all over the ground.

Sparkling and glittering, like tears.

But no one cared about this rare treasure being covered in dust - although the magic circle could block the breath, it could not conceal the figure at all.

When Mu Xiu Hu Xiu swallowed the bone fragments and howled to the sky, this scout team that committed the sin of arrogance finally recalled the fear of being dominated by monsters.

"Everyone, take the resources and leave quickly!" The centurion gritted his teeth, gave the final order, gripped the spear, roared, and charged towards Mu Xiu Hu Xiu.

Ding——Puff!!!
The scorpion-like tail needle pierced his chest, easily picking him up and holding him high in the air.

Blood flowed down its tail like a stream. Mu Xiu Hu Xiu did not care about the others who were fleeing in a panic. Instead, he stared at the centurion whose eyes dimmed rapidly, not concealing the cruelty and mockery in his eyes.

Do you think that sacrificing yourself can save others?
The sounds of countless trampling gathered together, causing the earth to rumble and tremble. A soldier bravely looked back, and the scene he saw made him terrified.

That's - a tide of beasts!
The monsters, who had not eaten blood for several days, had bloodshot eyes. Stimulated by the blood, they rushed towards the soldiers like a storm of disaster. They pounced forward, tore open people's chests with their claws, pierced blood vessels and texture with their sharp beaks, and bit their organs!

The screams were painful and desperate. They were only a few hundred meters away from the city wall of Uruk, but how could humans with their weak legs resist the pursuit of ferocious beasts!
Are you going to die?

"La——"

The singing came late, and the monsters with blood on their mouths suddenly stopped, with ferocity and fear mixed in their eyes, and their mad beasts actually resisted the mother's will.

“——Aaaa!!!”

The singing became louder and louder, carrying undisguised anger. Finally, the beasts became afraid. They roared in low voices, saliva mixed with scarlet drops, and retreated step by step back into the forest, leaving behind only pairs of cruel eyes eager for killing.

It seemed as if as soon as the singing stopped, it would pounce out at any time and take the lives of the survivors.

But the singing would not stop. On the city wall, the girl folded her arms across her chest, singing like a nightingale as if she wanted to put all her energy into it.

Finally, the survivors returned to the high walls, the city gates closed, keeping the enemy out, and the singing finally slowly stopped.

"Thank you, thank you, I'm grateful, Miss Tia..." With the rough support of the guards, the surviving scout thanked the girl with tears and snot. The girl, whose face was as pale as paper, forced a smile and stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to wipe the blood and tears off his face.

But the next moment, her slender hands fell, along with her body.

"Ms. Tia!!!"

----

"--idiot!!!"

There was a loud roar in the palace. The monarch of Uruk slammed the armrests heavily and his hair stood up.

I was already furious.

"You were so reckless as to disturb the monsters and even caused unnecessary sacrifices to unrelated people. You deserve to die!"

"Twenty-three people were killed and two survived..." The head priestess knelt beside the trembling soldiers. "All this is due to my negligence. King, please allow me to personally apologize to the families of the deceased and then come back to accept the punishment."

"No, it's not your fault, Lord Priest! It was us, our carelessness that caused all this!" Although their whole bodies were shaking, the surviving soldiers still mustered up their remaining courage and kowtowed deeply to the angry king. "We took it for granted that Miss Tia could help us. As long as Miss Tia was here, we could withstand any risk..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gilgamesh's eyes turned cold, golden ripples appeared behind him, and the treasure popped out, blocking the sharp blade coming from the right side of the throne!

“Cook, it’s not your turn to deal with my people… No, what’s wrong with you?!”

"You are not the only one who possesses mother's soul, Jill." The usually warm green light in the eyes of the young man in white turned cold. "You have allowed mother's soul to be exhausted to this extent. Even if this body is just a weapon, you should have the right to be angry—"

"Calm down!"

This time, it was Wang's turn to hit him on the forehead with a knife to stop his friend from committing further violence: "Hey, cook, you are here, don't play dead, come out quickly!"

"..."

After the silence, the young man raised his head again. His eyes did not change, but the corners of his mouth curved up.

"What do you want me to do? I have to say in advance that I am also in a very angry state right now."

"Stop talking nonsense. Am I really that good?" Gilgamesh replied unhappily. "After all, it was your fault for leaving her there without protection—"

"As a guard, I have no way to disobey His will." Shuoyue asked calmly, "Besides, He has become what he is now because of your laziness and arrogance, isn't it?"

Only this time, the king looked away.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's go. I will go with you to visit Him personally."

"It's bad, King!"

"Damn it, what happened again!!!"

Gilgamesh raised his eyes, but this time, the person coming was not a soldier from the battle line, but someone wearing the uniform of a city gate guard.

"Someone is trying to break out of the city gate. We, we can't stop her!"

"She? Which one of you violated my ban?"

"Her name..." The city gate guard swallowed and said in a deep voice, "Her name is Gauguin."

"She was the woman with long purple hair who entered Uruk with Lord Fujimaru."
