That being the case, their disappearance is naturally due to other reasons. "

Everyone:! ?

They looked around, but they didn't see many men. A few men were skinny and not strong.

'Surprised, Merlin's observation skills are so keen.That is not true, is it! '

And the changes in the faces of the people around them, and the heightened nervousness, were also noticed by people.

Coupled with the silence of the crowd,

This further verifies Merlin's statement...

Everyone felt gloomy for a while.

Woman: "I—we didn't do anything wrong!

Living sacrifices are a necessary price!

Everyone chooses on the basis of acceptance and approval!Just pick one person a day and send it to Eridu as a living sacrifice!

In this way, that demon will be satisfied! "

finally--

The woman stopped looking for excuses and admitted Merlin's guess.

Even the other party himself began to call him a devil, not a goddess.

Everyone's high-hanging hearts finally fell to the bottom of the valley.

They clenched their fists, feeling angry and disgusted and powerless at the things that human beings can only save by sacrificing others in such a cruel era.

What a sad thing that is!Actually, actually really have to rely on... living sacrifices!

Those who were sent away, what kind of mood did they welcome 'death'!

hateful!

People hated the goddess even more.

'So don't pin your hopes on the gods, man! '

Think about it carefully, in the Epic of Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes takes people to bid farewell to the gods. Perhaps there is a reason why humans rely too much on the gods.

This makes them unable to even 'reject'.

Mash and the others were shocked and puzzled by this—!

Angrily asked them why they used this method to protect themselves, why they didn't fight, and didn't ask Uruk for help!

But the woman shouted, 'You outsiders don't understand anything! '

"You can say such stupid things because you have never seen that terrifying goddess...!

Even if the citizens of Ur work together, they are no match for that goddess!

Communication doesn't work either!

That is simply a monster that lives in the forest, a monster that can only 'hunt' and 'kill'! "

Halfway through the speech, the woman suddenly trembled.

That's a fear that people can clearly feel.

"The only thing we can do is to be patient while fearing when it will be our turn...!

So please come back,

There is no normal place in any corner of Mesopotamia, there is no human ethics at all...! "

The people nearby bowed their heads guiltily when they heard their conversation.

And the people were silent,

In the face of such a desperate scene, this cruel era, I don't say a word.

It seems that whether you try hard or not, the result is the same.

No wonder they are so desperate, and even surrender.

Those who have never experienced it, now... it seems that everything they say seems a bit selfish and arrogant...

... If you are not a person in that era, you have no right to question others.

Question that desperate desire to live.

This reminds people of the scene in the game No Life Zero, where Riku ordered his teammates to sacrifice for the survival of mankind at the beginning.

Compared to that time——

The current situation may not know how much better it is...

Merlin sighed that it would be difficult to convince them, and it would be impossible to continue collecting information.

Matthew: "I'm sorry. I didn't consider Mr. Merlin's plan and the mood of that woman just now, so I said those words without thinking..."

"That's not mindless words." Guda,

"...but... I did hurt the woman.

The client should be the one suffering the most, but I..." Matthew seemed very self-blaming.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Guda said in a low mood that this is not a thoughtless word...

Because Guda felt the same at this time.

'Striving for nothing and relying on others to make sacrifices...'

Guda clenched his fists...'Isn't this strange? '

? ? ? : "Ah ha -

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! "

At this moment, there was a familiar and exaggerated laughter in the air.

'? !Is it that leopard man... the funny follower? 'This is the subconscious thought of everyone.

Yes, funny followers...

From their point of view, they are Servants with no special features except for making people laugh.

However, never underestimate the power of hilarious characters!

People at this time have not realized what will happen, it will be a very ruinous picture.

Leopard Man: "Don't worry about it meow! If you want to ask why, it's because if I kill a living sacrifice, I will be scolded as old-fashioned!

All the warriors who fell off the horse in the challenge of the strongest test of human beings were all escorted to Eridu to do forced labor!

Because even if we eat, the specifications between us are not the same?

As a gourmet, I refuse to eat anything but the heart of a brave man, nya! "

Matthew: "This... this laughter is...!"

After that, the Leopard Man appeared again, and after some funny dialogue, this time the Leopard Man told Matthew and the others that he was the goddess who protected the forest.

Then she finally said a little bit of useful information.

"If you take away (these people), not only will my efforts so far be in vain, but I will also be made to cry by Kukul."

'Kukul? ' Merlin muttered softly, as if he had discovered something.

In the text version of the epic, there is also such a comment: [The full name is Kukulkan, which is the Mayan version of the Feathered Serpent God.

It was a god widely worshiped in Mesoamerican civilizations, usually depicted as a feathered serpent.

It rules the morning star, invented books, made laws, and brought corn to mankind. It also represents death and rebirth, and is also the patron saint of priests.

It comes with the rainy season, and the rainy season coincides with the time when the Mayans planted corn, so she became the most revered god of the Mayan farmers.In the eyes of the Mayans, the feathered snake god and the dog god have the same high status. 】

'The Mayans? !

Another race that has never been heard before, is it a new mythology system! 'Hermetos.

at the same time--

Seeing that the prophet Merlin made a movement because of the word 'Kukul', the little princess and the others subconsciously frowned!sure-

Oh... there is a problem!Per capita with the prophet began to go online!

Anyway, following Merlin, an old insidious (insidious) force, will definitely not suffer (discovery).

Not paying attention to the different expressions of Chaldea and his group, Leopard continued: "That's right.

This is our world.Draw the land of the spiraling snake.Human beings who cannot discern the definition of God, go away quickly.

As long as we are sheltered by the forest, our sun is invincible—"

Speaking of this time, the long spear (? Probably a gun) in Leopard Man's hand has begun to glow with golden thunder, just like the brilliance of the sun.

Human beings who cannot discern the definition of God...?And what is the Land of Snakes—? !

Just when people are immersed in the deep meaning of these words and are puzzled.

The Leopard Man suddenly shouted: "The explanation in concise words is 'at least bring some greetings, idiot!'"

'See... a meeting ceremony? ! 'Everyone has black lines all over their heads.

Is that what it meant?

They will think carefully because of this, don't they look like fools just now? !

certainly--

Some believed the leopard man's explanation, and some didn't believe it...

Like Hermetos,

From the very beginning, the God of Alchemy did not treat this leopard man as a real funny character,

Shelter the humans in the forest, seek living sacrifices, and prevent outside monsters from entering it...

None of these are easy to do.
