My Destiny Illustrated Book of Shape Moon

Chapter 720 Broken Chapter·Afternoon in the Palace

It was noon, and Ishtar's brother Shamash rode a golden chariot, pushing the new day's journey to the sky to the highest point. The scorching golden light filled the entire hall, and the Yang energy grew and everything flourished.

The fire on the sacred car turned into sunshine, they cheered for joy, held hands on the streets, and walked through the streets and alleys with the children; they lay on the eaves and bridges, holding their heads, watching the smiling faces of pedestrians; sometimes, They still squatted down and playfully poked at the shadows lurking in the corners. It wasn't until they lazily turned over and curled up to almost a thin line that they proudly stood up and walked away.

But when passing through the tall corridor columns, the footsteps of 'Light' slowed down, as if infected by the solemn and depressing atmosphere.

From noisy to serious, from child to witness.

The midday sun penetrated the tall pillars of the Uruk palace like a sharp blade, like a witness holding a weapon, silently shining on the king's brilliant blond hair and the desk filled with clay tablets and documents.

This picture has not changed since early morning. The king's snake eyes quickly scanned the pieces of text, immersed in the endless government affairs, writing instructions from time to time, then putting the completed clay tablet aside, and racing against time. Take out another piece.

Although everything in the outside world is boiling and noisy, he seems to be trapped on this magnificent throne, shouldering the burden of the entire Uruk alone.

Time seems to have lost its original vitality here, replaced by a heavy sense of responsibility and subtle tiredness.

Only the steady footsteps of the young man stirred up the palace that was almost settling.

"The sun is shining outside, and the people in Uruk are enjoying a new day." Shuo Yue's voice carried a unique tranquility, "Although government affairs are busy, but you have been working for several hours, I think you should also take a break. , maybe this can better handle the next affairs.”

Gilgamesh did not raise his head, nor did he pause in turning the clay tablet: "I don't need to rest, not to mention that the future and prosperity of Uruk are in my hands. I am just tired and not worth mentioning."

The white-haired young man nodded slightly, as if he had expected this answer: "I understand, but not resting for a long time may affect your judgment, right? Human beings have limits after all, even demigods."

Gilgamesh finally stopped what he was doing. He raised his head slightly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and seemed to be smiling:

"It's interesting that a mere cook dares to speak so bluntly. Even Siduli has never said that about me."

"Oh, that's really an honor for me."

"..." The Xian King raised his eyebrows, but quickly lowered his head, "Forget it, I'll spare you this once. I don't need a cook to care about my king's physical condition. I will decide when to rest on my own."

Shuo Yue didn't say much, but nodded slightly again, as if this concern was just a statement of some duty, or maybe because some kind of emotion had already surpassed the surface dialogue. After a short silence, a new light came from him again. His eyes lit up, and when he saw the wise king lowering his head and not looking at him, the young man muttered a few words with dissatisfaction, and then stepped forward.

He reached out and took down a bunch of grapes from the plate full of fruits next to the table with the clay tablet...

"I thought you wanted to help me share some of the burden." The wise king waved the clay tablet in his hand and said unhappily.

"Ha, I'm not stupid." Shuo Yue bit the front end of the grape, squeezed out the pulp skillfully, and then threw the peel into the replacement space. "I'm afraid that as soon as I pick it up with my front feet, you will use the king's treasure to attack me. ”

"It seems that you are not stupid enough to be that goddess." Gilgamesh snorted coldly, "So, what are you doing here to see me?"

"Didn't you say that I'm here to negotiate terms?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I am very busy and have no time to accompany you to relieve your boredom. If you just want to have fun, go find that Chaldean guy..."

"I want the Ax of Marduk."

"impossible."

Facing Shuo Yue's sudden request, Gilgamesh refused without thinking. When he came to his senses, the wise king narrowed his eyes even more angrily: "Is this the reward you have asked for for helping me until now? If this is the case, I will call the guards to kick you out now."

"I understand. I won't give you any money or your life. I'm a prostitute." Shuo Yue muttered, then raised her voice, "I told you it was a deal. Isn't it that you kept the Ax of Marduk just to solve the problem? The Goddess of Warcraft.”

"In that case, can't it be enough for me to assist you in defeating the Goddess of Warcraft?"

Facing Shuo Yue's exchange conditions, Gilgamesh rolled his eyes: "Are you finally willing to take action against the Three Goddess Alliance?"

"It's just the Goddess of Warcraft." Shuo Yue said with a smile, "At most, it comes with detailed information about the alliance."

The wise king frowned, with a serious look on his face: "But I don't even know who you are, and what kind of existence you are standing here..."

"If you continue to bargain, I will get it myself."

"Tsk." After the negotiation, Gilgamesh put away the expression on his face and leaned back on the throne. "That's it. I'll hand in the report later. Now get out of here."

"Hey, you don't recognize people when you lift your pants, right..."

The voice gradually faded away, and Gilgamesh quickly concentrated on handling government affairs. But at a certain moment, he suddenly said: "By the way, you know that this king once had a close friend, right?"

There was no response, Wang raised his head coldly, and then froze on the spot.

The palace was already deserted.

Yes... no one would stand there and look at him with the same gentle smile.

The king looked at the empty palace in a trance.

However, something still appeared quietly-

Grapes, dates, cherries and apricots, they lay quietly in front of Gilgamesh, peeled off the bitter skin, and even the cores and seeds were taken out.

This is definitely not a good thing that the cook can do.

Even if he was confused by many political affairs, Gilgamesh could come to such a conclusion.

It couldn't be Siduri either, she knew what the king wanted her to do more than this.

Throwing the crystal grapes into his mouth, feeling the sweet juice after chewing, the wise king narrowed his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

When he came back to his senses from the recollection, Gilgamesh was shocked to find that he had swept away all the fruits, and his mental fatigue was also easing at an alarming speed.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the mud tablets piled up into a small mountain.

Looking at the work that has not been started yet, Gilgamesh was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing:

"In the end, I was still fooled by you..."

After a pause, he didn't say the word "cook", but just lowered his head and worked on his duties as a king again.

Time flowed slowly and irresistibly, and the sun carefully reached out and touched the barely detectable arc at the corner of the king's mouth.

So warm.
