Ares, God of War

After hearing Ares' request, the Kutu people were overjoyed, kowtowed to him one after another, and then fully agreed to his request.

"Hidden."

After saying this, Ares turned around and left, disappearing in front of the Kutu people, and the Kutu people didn't feel anything strange, after all, that's what the gods are like, and there's no need for the gods to do what they want Explain to them.

Seeing this group of people turning back to the city like the New Year, Ares, who was hiding in the dark, shook his head again and again. This group of humans is still not bloody, but there is no way. After all, this city-state is just a small city. The only way to resist various threats from the natural world is to use one's own strength, and finally one can only turn to the gods for help.

The only way to change them is to teach them slowly and subtly, but Ares doesn't have that patience for the time being. Gilgamesh has already been born. As long as he grasps this human king well, human beings in the future will naturally be led by him.

So, Ares walked around the city of Kutu, made a barrier of divine power for defense, and left directly for Uruk.

Because of the difference in time and space, he can't maintain constant contact with Hecate and Athena. This kind of contact can only be carried out intermittently once or twice in a month, and it can't last for too long.

However, after the last contact, Hecate had already sent him a map of the world of the Mesopotamian gods, allowing him to understand his current location and the location of Uruk.

So after finding the direction, Ares immediately began to travel long distances and traveled towards Uruk.

All kinds of wonderful experiences will not be listed for the time being. After about a month, Ares, who has been swaying under the eyelids of the Mesopotamian gods as Nergal, finally came to Uruk. in front of the gate.

Since he was going to contact humans, Ares also put away Nergal's appearance, transformed back into a human form, and changed his red hair into black hair, which has the largest number of residents here.

However, when he entered the city, he still encountered some difficulties.

"As we all know, you can only understand Sumer after you understand Uruk, and you can understand the Sumerians only after you understand Gilgamesh." Ares opened his tongue to the person who stopped him, eloquently: "Uruk culture, in my opinion, is the condensed essence of the [-]-year culture of our Mesopotamian region, a essence, hard work, enterprising, indomitable, never give up, especially the spirit of Gilgamesh The optimism in it. I seem to have seen that Gilgamesh said in a tablet of fate, Miscellaneous cultivator, Xinei!"

The beautiful woman who stopped Ares at the city gate frowned and looked at him:

"Compatriots, what are you talking about?"

The beautiful woman who stopped Ares at the city gate is the goddess Ningsun, the patron saint of Uruk, and she is also the mother of Gilgamesh, the goddess who gave Gilgamesh two-thirds of her divinity. .

At the beginning, when the Uruk city-state was established, the god Anu was actually enshrined, but the goddess Ningsun was the daughter of the god Anu, and she was the second generation of the same generation as Enlil, Enki, and Nanna. god.

In addition, the god Anu himself is an old nerd, basically never descends to the world, but stays in the sky to control the fate of the whole world. Walking, so the duty of the patron saint of Uruk naturally became empty talk.

Considering the matter of ruling mankind, Anu later distributed some of the city-states that regarded him as the patron saint to his children, and Goddess Ningsun became the patron saint of Uruk. Lugalbanda, the king of Ruk, fell in love and gave birth to Gilgamesh. Therefore, the goddess Ningsun had a very high status in Uruk. The mother was ignored.

During the reign of Lugalbanda, she was both a god and a queen. When it was Gilgamesh's turn, she became a queen mother, and her status was even more detached.

Regarding this goddess, Ares can't just kill her casually. First, she is one of the few goddesses here who are close to humans. Second, she is Gilgamesh's mother. If he kills her, After that, don't even think about having a good conversation with Jin Yingying.

But before coming, Ares had actually expected this scene. Goddess Ningsun was an unavoidable link for him to enter Uruk as a god. Of course, the reason had already been made up on the way when he came.

"Okay, Goddess Ningsun, I'm actually here to take refuge in you."

Ares said to Goddess Ningsun with a very sincere attitude:

"My name is Nergal. I come from Kutu. I can teach your children. If you agree, I will start teaching your son Gilgamesh in the second half of this year. I will teach him how to carry forward Uru Overcoming traditional culture, both styles bloom. What do you think?"

ps: Recently, I was suddenly asked to write a [-]-year-old manga episode. I don’t have enough time, and there is another chapter to be added tomorrow——

Chapter 36. The King of Heroes Playing with Mud

"Come to take refuge in me?"

After hearing what Ares said, Goddess Ningsun showed a dazed expression on her face.

Now Mesopotamia seems to be calm, but is actually experiencing an undercurrent of theocratic struggle. The creation gods headed by the current god king Enlil, and the young gods headed by the water god Enki and the war god Marduk The gods are constantly fighting openly and secretly around the seat of the god king.

And as time went on, the scope of their struggle continued to expand, and it seemed that the gods of the entire Mesopotamia were involved.

There are already countless gods betting between these two groups, betting on who will be the final winner, but there are also some gods who don't want to get involved in this kind of thing, and they will choose to go to some neutral gods.

For example, Nanna, the moon god who has Ishtar, the god of love, and Shamash, the sun god, as children, and the goddess Ningsun, the patron saint of Uruk, the most beloved daughter of the god Anu.

However, because the Nanna family of the moon god is more powerful and the protective umbrella is wider, basically the gods of Mesopotamia still ran to their banner. The powerful god of war actually came to Uruk to take refuge in himself.

but……

Goddess Ningsun's eyes fell on Ares, and through his current disguise, she saw the disguise behind him that Ares wanted her to see.

Seeing this "real body" like a demon, with bruised skin, fangs turned out, and horns growing on the top of the head, Goddess Ningsun was full of worries. This Nergal, at first glance, does not look like a god A wise god, she really found it hard to believe that he could teach her son well.

And the ugly god in front of him also seemed to see her doubts from her expression, he widened his eyes, with seven points of grievance, three points of anger shouted:

"Goddess Ningsun, I know I was born ugly, but you can't judge people by their appearance!"

"Feel sorry."

After hearing Nergal's accusation, the gentle Goddess Ningsun also felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said to Ares:

"Well, Nergal, I can protect you, and you will be my deputy in the future, and I will be the patron saint of this kingdom with me. As for Gilgamesh's matter... If you can persuade him to study with you, Then I won't bother you much."

Hearing Goddess Ningsun's answer, Ares happily snapped his fingers, then flicked his tongue and said:

"nice——"

"Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Seeing Ares eager to try, Goddess Ningsun added:

"Although Jill is young, his vision is very high. If you are not recognized by him, you can't force him."

"All right, all right, I promise." Ares nodded quickly.

The two made another agreement with each other, and Goddess Ningsun accepted Ares as the patron saint of Uruk, and then took him into the city together to find Gilgamesh.

Ares remembers that Gilgamesh, as a demigod, was originally gifted, and the gods expected him to be a wedge to pin the age of gods, and gave him a lot of favors, so he became Meso The handsomest, wisest and strongest man in Potamia, even the goddess Ishtar fell in love with him at first sight.
