The Reincarnator Fails Miserably
Page 141
"I'm from Uruk." Su Bai said.
"It's actually from Uruk, I haven't seen it for a long time." The woman's numb expression was a little turbulent, and she forced a smile: "I didn't expect Uruk to be still alive. It won't be long... What's the matter with you coming to Ur?"
"I was sent by Jinpi...King Gilgamesh to investigate. Where are the chief priests and priestesses of Ur City?" Su Bai asked, "I want to talk to them."
"This, this..." The woman hesitated and said, "Hold, I'm sorry, I don't know either."
"What about the various situations here?" Su Bai asked again: "The residents here are not too small, why don't you plan to escape? Uruk is still alive now, as long as you leave the jungle, the King of Heroes will guarantee your safety .”
"We won't leave, this is our city and our home." The woman shook her head, and she said, "Ur is safe, as long as you stay here, you won't be attacked by monsters... obey the goddess of the jungle According to the law, safety is guaranteed, so no one wants to escape."
"That's why you didn't contact Uruk?"
"How come, we also thought about rushing to help, but this... violates the law of the Goddess of the Jungle. We can't tell the outsiders about the situation here, and we can't leave, otherwise we won't be able to guarantee our lives." The woman was emotional for a moment, Immediately after becoming decadent, she sighed: "If you want to stay, I can provide you with a place to rest, but leave early tomorrow morning, otherwise..."
"Will it be chosen as a sacrifice?"
The clay puppet spoke suddenly, and Gilgamesh's sarcastic tone came.
"Who, who is talking..."
"It's the king talking to you, bastard! As a subject of this king, he hides in the jungle so brazenly and survives after accepting the blessing of the goddess... As long as you don't resist, you can live, right? ? But it's not without cost!"
The expression of the clay doll was lifelike, and Gilgamesh snorted coldly and said: "The group of goddesses are different from this king. They are not kings, not rulers, but rulers. They will do anything for their own desires. Humans treat them It’s just a prop to realize your own desires! The goddess here is by no means kind, what kind of sacrifice did you offer to get her blessing?”
"Sacrifice, offerings or something...how could such a thing happen?" The woman hurriedly shook her head: "We didn't offer living sacrifices at all..."
After she finished speaking, she realized that she had slipped her tongue.
"A living sacrifice?" Su Bai raised his eyebrows, "I see."
"It's really bad taste to use a living person as a sacrifice." Gilgamesh showed a disgusted expression.
"This should be said to be the commonality of South American gods." Su Bai said lightly: "Combining the leopard people who just appeared, the regional climate and iconic plants here, we can probably know that the goddess here must be the mythology system of America... ...The most famous ones are the Mayan mythology and Aztec mythology, and the sacrificial ceremony of 'living sacrifice' is indispensable in these mythological systems, among which the practice of digging out hearts should be quite famous."
Live sacrifices have existed in most civilizations throughout history.
Ancient Egypt's sacrificial burial system is well-known, and Maya's heart-digging is also very famous.
Even the Chinese civilization is no exception. Before the implementation of the ritual and music system, human sacrifices were not uncommon in the Shang Dynasty.
"The older the civilization, the more bloody and brutal it is. Most of the sacrifices to the gods are done in a straightforward way. If you want to win the protection of the gods, you always need sacrifices. If you can't give sacrifices, you have to offer them from your own family." Su Bai calmly analyzed: "Sacrificing the small self to fulfill the big self is a profitable business in a sense. It seems worthwhile to get blessings with only a few sacrifices?"
"It's ridiculous!" Jin Xing scolded, and one could imagine how angry he was on the tower.
The woman listened to the words and sarcasm of the two, and she retorted tremblingly: "You, what do you know! How did we persist in surviving? Under such fear, under the protection of that demon, wanting to live It's not an easy task to come down! But what can I do? Since I can't escape, I can only accept her request! One person going to the temple every day as a sacrifice can guarantee the survival of others!"
"So just offer the sacrifice obediently?" Su Bai asked back: "I don't want to think of a way to leave, and I don't try to resist."
"You are just talking nicely! If you go to meet that terrifying demon, you will never say such a thing! We also thought about rushing out and resisting, but everyone who tried to escape was caught back , Some people who didn't come back, either died in the jungle, or were eaten by monsters! And none of the people who tried to resist that demon came back!"
The woman folded her arms and said with trembling teeth: "I, I used to be a priestess in the priestess, so I can understand... That demon is a real goddess... The status of godhood is very high, but she and the city god They are all completely different, unable to communicate at all, and unable to communicate. They just kill humans as playthings for fun. How can you resist such an evil god? Not to mention there is a leopard man who guards the jungle... ...With the two of them here, there is no way to escape!"
"Then we can only count the days to live, praying that it won't be our turn, and enduring it! There is no hope here! The whole of Mesopotamia has been reduced to hell! Then we stay here and wait." How can death make any difference!"
The pressure she had built up broke out, and she grabbed Su Bai's collar with one hand and shouted: "Isn't the king omnipotent and omniscient? Then why didn't you come to save us! You are the envoy of Uruk, aren't you? You are the confidant of King Gilgamesh! Then it is up to you to defeat that goddess! Then save everyone in Ur!"
Her voice spread, and many passers-by could hear it clearly.
But most of them just smiled wryly, lowered their heads, and continued to walk numbly. Some people would hide in guilt, but more people just moved their feet mechanically. One more day to live is one day to live.
Gilgamesh listened to the other party's questioning, but he fell into silence instead, and even his angry expression gradually subsided.
I don't know if it's extreme disappointment, or pure sadness.
Su Bai stared quietly at the former witch, and said: "I don't understand your pain, I don't understand your sorrow, I don't understand what kind of mood you have lingered until today... I don't want to Understand."
"It's not easy for people to live. As long as everything in life is a struggle with the sky, do you think that you are absolutely safe in Uruk, and there is no need to fight? After defeating the demons here, there will be no other threats. gone?"
"Living just to get by is a simple thing. Knowing what you live for is the meaning of life... I wonder if you are chosen as a sacrifice one day, will you still be proud of yourself when you die? ever lived?"
Su Bai smiled contemptuously: "Hmph...I'm afraid it can't be done."
"I..." the former miko said tremblingly, "I just want to live..."
"I don't want to fight but I want to live. This is a privilege that only people living in a peaceful age and a powerful country have. You don't have this privilege." Su Bai said flatly: "Although I can understand your thoughts to a certain extent , because in the past I also thought that I could eat and wait for death for the rest of my life, and then lie peacefully and close my eyes in a house full of children and grandchildren, but in fact... in this era, to survive, you have to hold your weapon tightly. This is your only reliance for survival. "
After the words fell, the former witch was directly pierced by this powerful mouth, and fell to her knees.
She is a member of the former witches. Her companions either explored the jungle and never returned, or challenged the goddess and died in defeat. She stayed because she was not mature enough, and she also stayed to wait for Uruk's help... But after a long time During the time, she had gradually lost hope, and only wanted to muddle through the next day, praying that it would not be her turn.
Since when, she has dropped her only weapon, perhaps because of this... She is not even eligible to be selected as a sacrifice.
At this time, there was a slight shaking in the center of Ur City, the ground shook, and the buildings and trees shook.
A hearty voice came from afar from the other side of the street: "Well said, it's really good, it suits my taste very much."
Amidst the slight vibration, a [-]-meter-tall woman strode with empty hands, her smile and voice were hearty.
"It's a goddess... why did you come here? It's clear that she won't appear in Ur on weekdays, but will stay in the temple in Eduli." The expression of the former witch changed, becoming fearful and panicked.
"Normally speaking, it's true that I wouldn't appear here... But, I'm attracted." The visitor tossed his blond hair: "If I, as a goddess, don't approve of this awe-inspiring fighting will, Then what is the value of existence?"
Looking at Su Bai's calm gaze, the goddess licked her lips: "There are such outstanding human beings in this era...it really suits my appetite."
