I, Son of Tiamat

At the moment when the war was about to come, the atmosphere in Uruk naturally became depressed and dull.

Although Uruk lost the laughter and laughter of the past due to the battle, Nanye found that although the residents of Uruk lost their smiles, they did not show panic.

The residents of Uruk seem to have full confidence in Uruk.

"It's really a city full of vitality. If the next war is successfully carried out, then Uruk's life will be more prosperous." Qiye left this sigh and set foot on the stairs leading to the palace. .

The soldiers guarding the gate of the palace saw Qiye covering his face with a hood, and they reached out to intercept it.

"The king has an order not to meet people at night, nor to accept clay tablets. If you have something to do, please visit early tomorrow."

"Do I want to come back tomorrow too?" Qiye pulled down his hood, revealing his face.

The soldiers looked at the handsome man with black hair and black eyes, and hurriedly retracted the arm they had intercepted, "It turned out to be a sage, because I didn't see your face, so I'm rude."

"The king has an order. If it's you, you can step into the palace anytime."

Qiye stepped into the palace smoothly, and Gilgamesh was sitting on the throne now, with mud tablets piled up in front of him, these were all things he had to deal with.

Because the war was coming, Gilgamesh had to deal with more than doubled.

Hearing the sound of footsteps resounding in the palace, Gilgamesh frowned as he watched the contents of the clay tablet. He raised his head and looked forward, and immediately saw the figure of Qiye.

After seeing Qiye's figure, Gilgamesh's wrinkled brows loosened, he sneered and put down the clay tablet in his hand, "Hey, this is not our sage, why are you so fast come back?"

"Because I have confirmed the clay figurine on the other side of the highland forest, I came back." Qiye shrugged, "After my test, that clay figurine is indeed the 'Sky Lock' that the gods created for you. "

"Since that's the case... Hey, I said you don't stand, come over and sit down and talk about it." Gilgamesh tapped the vacant throne beside him with the clay tablet in his hand, "This is the seat that this king has prepared for you. ."

"You got such a seat next to your own throne, aren't you afraid of the group of nobles making noise?" Qiye said speechlessly, looking at the vacant seat beside Gilgamesh.

"Hmph, those cowardly old fellows have no intention of arguing with this king for this position now. They are all scared to death by the upcoming war." Gilgamesh said with a cold snort.

"The war between Uruk and Kish, I have heard a general idea from Semiramis. I didn't expect such a big event to happen just after I left Uruk." Qiye walked up, he Instead of sitting in the empty seat, he picked up a clay tablet and looked at it.

On this tablet is recorded the content of forging weapons and armor.

"Did you start to build weapons and armor at this time?" Qiye looked at Gilgamesh in surprise and said.

"This king has been focusing on building around the city [wall], so Uruk's soldiers do lack some weapons and armor, but it doesn't matter, a small problem." Gilgamesh said with a calm expression.

"What about this clay tablet that urges workers to harvest grain?" Qiye looked at another clay tablet.

"It's also because of the efforts to build the ring city, this king also neglected the food, and now there is not a lot of food stored in the temple, and we have to store more food before the war."

Qiye fell silent, and now he even had a trace of self-doubt, he wondered whether Uruk could thrive under the leadership of Gilgamesh...

"Sage, your expression makes this king very unhappy."

"Ha! When the war is about to start, your hasty actions make me feel uncomfortable." Qiye rolled his eyes at Gilgamesh, "I asked you to prepare the 'weapon materials' before leaving Uruk. ' What? How are you prepared?"

"Well, this king thinks it should be ready."

"What do you mean by 'I think you should be ready'! Gilgamesh, are you really paying attention!"

"What! Is this king the kind of person who doesn't do anything?"

"Oh! Do you think you're a clerk, then what's up with those clay tablets on your desk!"

"It's so noisy, this king won't sleep tonight, I'll show you all the solutions!"

There was a loud noise from Uruk's palace, but... It was more of an overly 'excited' conversation rather than a blushing quarrel.

The deserted palace also became angry because of this fierce quarrel.

When the bright moon in the night sky was obscured by dark clouds, the quarrel in the palace also disappeared. Qiye, who was already sitting in his seat, rubbed his swollen temples.

"This is the end of the digression. Now that Kish's army is almost fighting, I have to quickly get the [gunpowder] out, and then test its power, I have to make it work in the next war. Just do it."

If gunpowder was made by Nanye, then making gunpowder is more important than making weapons and armor.

After arguing with Qiye, Gilgamesh said in a relaxed mood, "This king knows about this situation, so when you go to confirm the identity of the clay figurine, this king has already asked the servant to collect the final materials you need. ."

"But because this king doesn't understand how excrement can become a weapon, you will confirm the final materials yourself later."

Gilgamesh really doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to understand this...

"Then I'll go home and have dinner with Semiramis first. After dinner, I'll check the final ingredients. I have to get the gunpowder out tonight to see how powerful it is."

Although Qiye trusted the information provided by Mud and Flowing Water, but he had never fiddled with it himself, and it was also related to the next war, he was more or less uncertain.

"Speaking of dinner, this king doesn't seem to have eaten either, so you stay and eat with this king."

Qiye glanced at Gilgamesh who left him behind, "No, I'll go home and eat with Semiramis."

"What?!" Gilgamesh looked at Qiye in amazement, "Qiye, you refused to eat with this king. Would it be better to go home and eat with a woman than to eat with this king?"

Chapter 44 Chapter 44

"Isn't this a matter of course?" Nanye couldn't help but complained that the black line appeared, "Jill, you brought the confidence, of course, eating with a beautiful girl is better than eating with a man!"

"Well, it's also... That's it."

Semiramis, who has cooked a table of meals carefully, is waiting for Qiye's return at home. She was full of joy at first, but when she saw another person beside Qiye who returned home, her happy smile was over. solidified.

"I'm honored to have dinner with you tonight." Gilgamesh, who was beside Nanye, said in a natural tone.

"..." Semiramis' lips twitched. Then, she looked at Qiye with sad eyes, and Qiye had to respond with a helpless smile.

"Tsk, what's with this expression, you should feel honored that this king came to your house for dinner, oh, bring it up." Gilgamesh, who was smacking his lips, gestured to the soldiers behind him.

Then the soldiers behind Gilgamesh came up with some porcelain plates, and Qiye took Semiramis' little hand and led these soldiers with porcelain plates to the place to eat.

Semiramis approached Qiye, looking directly at the porcelain plates that the soldiers were holding, she asked, "Qiye, what is that?"

"It's chickens, ducks, and geese~ something that most people don't dare to eat." Nanye explained, "Gill specially ordered the chef of the palace to prepare the dishes."

In Mesopotamia, ducks and geese were things that even nobles and priests did not eat, because they were offerings to the gods.

As the king of Uruk, Gilgamesh is only qualified to have people prepare dishes related to ducks and geese for him.

"Ducks and geese made by him?" Semiramis glanced at Gilgamesh behind her, and she wrinkled her nose, "I think this king is worried that my cooking is bad. , so I specially asked people to prepare other dishes."

"Cough, who knows this." Qiye's eyes flickered, Gilgamesh really said that before he came over...

"Also, you called Gilgamesh 'Gill' just now at Qiye. Have you had such a good relationship with this savage king?" Semiramis showed a strange expression.

"Well, but that's not important either."

Although the arrival of Gilgamesh changed the dinner between Seven Nights and Semiramis from two people to three people, the roast duck and roast goose he brought were indeed fragrant and fragrant by the chef of the palace. Semiramis No longer complaining that his alone time with Qiye was disturbed by him.

When the soldiers guarding outside Qiye's house heard the laughter coming from inside, they couldn't help sighing, "This is the first time Wang laughed like this while eating."

"Not only that, it's the first time that Wang has eaten outside."

"Do you think that after the adjudicator became a sage, the king seems to have gradually changed."

"Well, the king's smile has become more and more."

As a soldier of Gilgamesh, whether he is patrolling Uruk or doing something bad, these soldiers are by his side.

So they also noticed the changes in Gilgamesh.

Gilgamesh now has a chicken [leg] in his left hand and a duck [leg] in his right hand, and regardless of his image as a king, he eats boldly and savagely, looking like he has a big appetite.

Seeing such a bold Gilgamesh, Qiye swallowed the food he was chewing in his mouth and said, "Gill, before you get drunk, decide on the solution for the clay figurine."

Hearing that Qiye planned to discuss serious matters with Gilgamesh, Semiramis, who was already seven full, made a random excuse to leave here and let the two of them be alone here.

"This king is not drunk. After all, this king still has business to deal with tonight. As for the lock of the sky..." Gilgamesh put down the chicken leg in his hand, and his scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, "Since it is certain that it is The lock of the sky is locked, and it is like a beast now, so let it generate intelligence."

"I will send a 'sacred prostitute' over there. As long as the prostitute shows the charm of a woman to the clay figurine, then the clay figurine will surely begin to gain humanity and wisdom."

A beast without thinking cannot change its instinctive thoughts. Only a thinking creature can make its own choice.

As for the "god prostitute" that Gilgamesh just said, it is not an existence that sells his body for commercial transactions to obtain money.

To be precise, prostitutes are women dedicated to God.

Not all women can become 'prostitutes', only high-ranking priestesses can hold this position.

These priestesses are usually held by women of noble blood, and most of them are considered to be the candidates for the wives of the urban gods they serve.

After all, this is an era when the gods are above, and it is an unparalleled honor to be a person who serves the gods.

After a short conversation, Seven Nights and Gilgamesh also decided on a way to let the clay figurine gain intellect, and then the two of them dispersed one after another.

Gilgamesh had to return to the palace and continue to solve the pile of clay tablets, while Seven Nights went to the place where Gilgamesh's servants were, to see the final materials and make gunpowder.

Originally, Qiye wanted to take Semiramis with him, but the last material...was pretty bad, so he didn't take her with him.

Qiye successfully obtained 'nitric acid' from the servant whose face was blue and white, and then poured the nitric acid into the powdered shells, thus obtaining potassium nitrate.

"Potassium nitrate 75, charcoal 15, and finally sulfur 10..." Qiye, muttering in a low voice, was slowly stirring the jet-black powder in the porcelain jar with a wooden stick, and finally pressed the black powder to make it firm. turned into black powder.

After fully stirring, Qiye looked at the black powder in the porcelain jar very complicatedly, "In order to achieve my own purpose, I actually brought out this 'devil' thousands of years in advance..."

"Forget it, don't think about these things, as long as others don't know the materials for making black powder, and I make black powder by myself, then no one else will know how to make black powder in this era. of."

Putting aside the complexities in his heart, Qiye compacted the black powder in the jar, took out a hemp rope as a lead, and finally sealed the jar filled with black powder with clay.

In this way... the most simple and unpretentious black powder bomb came into the world.

Part 45 Chapter 45

Qiye held this porcelain jar full of black powder. He raised his head and looked at the sky. Now that the night was like water, in order not to disturb the sleep of the residents of Uruk, he did not immediately test the black powder. The urge to bomb.

So Qiye took this extremely dangerous porcelain jar home, and Semiramis had been waiting at home for his return. After seeing Qiye's figure, Semiramis, who was smiling, greeted him immediately. come up.

However, after Semiramis approached Qiye's side, his face suddenly wrinkled, "Qiye, why do you have a strange smell on your body?"

"Huh?" Qiye sniffed the smell on his body, and then explained, "It's the smell of gunpowder, it's very irritating, right?"

"It's not very choking, just a little bit." As he spoke, Semiramis approached Qiye and put his curious eyes on the porcelain jar in his palm, "What is this?"

"It's the war props I researched based on the information provided by the soil. It's a very dangerous thing. If this lead is ignited, it is estimated that our house will be blown up directly~" Qiye said in his tone. A hint of ostentation.

Seven nights is showing off to Semiramis.

So, ah... men are just weird! In Qiye, he got the black powder out while he was still complicated just now, but now he is showing off the black powder in front of Semiramis.

"Although I don't really believe that such a small jar can blow up our home, I know it's a very dangerous thing, so what are you doing with such a dangerous thing home..."

"Because I don't feel at ease when I leave it outside, so I brought it home, but you don't need to worry, just leave it for one night, I'll take this to Gilgamesh tomorrow, and let him see this The power of the props of war."

Semiramis stared at the jar, and then she raised her head to look at Qiye, "Is this the weapon you prepared for Kish's army? Can it help Uruk solve this crisis?"

"This black powder is just one of the things prepared for the war. It is not the black powder that can solve Kish's army in an instant, but the canal." Qiye looked in a certain direction, which was opened by him not long ago. canal.

In order to deal with the next war, Qiye not only planned to use black powder, but also planned to use that canal to deal with Kish's army.

"By the way, Qiye, where will I sleep tonight." Semiramis said with a nonchalant expression.

"Huh?" Qiye was puzzled by Semiramis' question. He tilted his head and looked at Semiramis next to him, "Where do you sleep tonight? Don't you have your own room?"

"..." Semiramis' face bulged slightly, she pulled up her skirt slightly, revealing her snow-white, delicate, and crystal clear legs.

Then Semiramis raised his shoe-wearing foot and stepped on Qiye's instep.

"Hey... Semiramis, what are you doing?!" Qiye took a deep breath and looked at Semiramis who was inexplicably puffed up.

"Idiot, wood, idiot, hum!" Semiramis wrinkled his nose at Qiye, then turned around and left, leaving Qiye confused and dazed.

Facing this slow lover, Semiramis, the road you are going to take is really tortuous~

The night... nothing happened, it passed quietly like this, congratulations~

When the morning came, Qiye made breakfast for Semiramis, who was still puffed up for some reason, and left the house with a porcelain jar full of black powder.

He started heading towards the palace where Gilgamesh was.

Stepping into the palace, Qiye, who was holding the porcelain jar, saw Gilgamesh. He was now lying on the table where he was dealing with affairs. The pile of clay tablets before had all been placed on the left.

Originally, these clay tablets were placed on the right, but after Gilgamesh processed them, they were all placed on the left.

"Is this guy really finishing these clay tablets in one night?" Qiye glanced at the clay tablets, and then came to Gilgamesh's side.

Gilgamesh, who was lying on the table, was sleeping, and his originally handsome and arrogant face also added a serenity and peace to his sleep.
