Hellish Affairs

"I don't like her." Ishtar raised his chin with both hands, trying to hide it.

"You packed yours and used them to decorate the underworld, didn't you?"

"Ah, that's not to help her, it's because my method may not be right, and it really made her feel that I was showing off, that's why this kind of thing happened!"

Ishtar walked backwards and kept explaining arrogantly.

Joyas ignored her and looked down at the surrounding road, the sea of ​​flowers in the underworld.

"when."

Ishtar bumped into a hard object, and grunted—"It hurts, who is it!"

A young man dressed in white and with long green hair stood in front of Ishtar and Joyas. Obviously, he also came from the underworld...

"Who are you..." Ishtar said impolitely.

"I'm Enkidu." The green-haired boy had a beautiful face between a man and a woman. In comparison, he looked more like a woman, but he had no gender.

Enkidu looked down at Ishtar and Joyas Pendragon. It has been more than a year since he came out of the forest. He has learned more about being human, and Enkidu is becoming more and more human. .

"Nice to meet you." Enki said in a nonchalant manner, polite and thoughtful, but very unfamiliar.The warm green eyes lowered, looking at the endless winding bridge from the underworld, full of flowers of various colors.

It's not like death's no-return here, except that there is no sun, and it's already a beautiful garden.

He knew that he didn't need to go anymore, he was already late, and the kind goddess of the underworld who was familiar with him had already given his blessing to Joyas Pendragon.

"Mr. Enkidu is going to the underworld?" Joyas asked with a smile.

Enkidu looked at him in surprise, "Oh? Do you know me?"

"Of course," Joyas said with a smile, "I've known you for a long time as the second king of Uruk."

Enkidu tilted his head in doubt, but he still said, "I've heard of you too, the Holy Sword Envoy from another world, the one protected by the gods."

This was the first time Enkidu saw Joyas Pendragon, and it was slightly different from what he had imagined.

He and Gilgamesh had already received the news that Joyas was going to ask Goddess Ningsun for an artifact in Uruk. Of course, they couldn't make future enemies so happy. In the eyes of Enkidu, Joyas Pendragon's contest with Gilgamesh, the lord of Uruk, has already begun.

So Enkidu went against his own heart and went to the underworld without Gilgamesh's knowledge, to ask Ereshkigal...

"Mr. Enkidu came to see Ere... Master Ereshkigal?"

Ellie?Already so familiar?Enkidu thought for a while, and then looked at the mountain flowers that filled the entire underworld——

Indeed, Joyas Pendragon.

"Just reminiscing about the past." Enkidu said indifferently.

"That's really great." Joyas said in surprise: "So you know Ellie." Joyas walked around Ishtar and walked in front of Enkidu, grabbing his shoulders, "Please Come see Elle more often!"

Enkidu opened his eyes wide, looking at Joyas Pendragon in amazement.

"Hey, it's easy to see!" Ishtar hugged his chest and said disdainfully, "You'll know after thinking about it. You came here to tell Ellie not to give us blessings, right?"

"It's despicable..." she said quietly.

"You live for yourself, don't think too badly of others." Joyas let go of Enkidu and taught Ishtar: "Mr. Enkidu is obviously not that kind of person."

Enkidu: ?

Are you already so familiar with the goddesses Ishtar and Ereshkigal?Or are these things the conspiracy of the gods.

Gilgamesh, as the son of God, a demigod, his existence has received all the grace of the world, but his fundamental existence is only a tool of the gods. Before meeting Enkidu, Gilgamesh, as a god, Tools are barely adequate.

But the relationship between gods and gods is like a mass of loose sand. There are those who strive to maintain the balance between gods and humans like Anu, the god of spirits and storms, and those who hate humans like Enlil, the god of spirits and storms. There are also people like Enki. A person who loves and protects humans like that.

They finally reached a condition, that is to create a tyrant like Gilgamesh to check and balance the development of mankind, but it was too cruel and began to destroy human civilization, so they sent Enkidu, who checked and balanced him .

Enkidu understands these things and why he was created as an instrument.

Tools are like this. Nails have their uses, bricks have their uses, and of course Enkidu has his own uses.

His purpose is to bind Gilgamesh so that he can properly fulfill the accusation given by God, as if a nail needs to be hammered hard with a hammer in order to really work.

This is the relationship between Enkidu and Gilgamesh.

He originally thought he was doing a good job, but knowing the appearance of Joyas Pendragon made Enkidu seriously doubt himself...

He thought he was doing well, but God sent another man to challenge Gilgamesh...

Although there is a little bit of selfishness, it will not be discovered now.

Will he be a qualified 'tyrant'?

"No, Lady Ishtar misunderstood me." Enkidu said frankly, "I didn't come here to find Lord Ereshkigal and let him refuse your request."

It doesn't count if he lied, because he did change his mind temporarily.

Ishtar showed suspicious eyes, but if the other party refuses to admit it after death, you really have nothing to do.

Chapter 103 Heaven's Lock

Enkidu walked to the edge of the cliff, he looked down barefoot, and saw a sea of ​​flowers, with the fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose——

"Did you plant this for Lord Ereshkigal?"

"I planted it with Ishtar and Ellie."

With a slight smile on the corner of Enkidu's mouth, he said, "I'm really surprised, this goddess would do such a thing."

"Hey!" Ishtar complained.

Enkidu ignored Ishtar, but said to Joyas: "Since you have already visited Lord Ereshkigal, then I will not go."

"You should know my identity, but I still want to talk to you on the ground, is that okay?" Enkidu said softly.

His face came from an extremely beautiful prostitute, but he was not charming, it was between a boy and a girl, and his gentleness was outrageous.

This is the age of the gods, all human incompetence, helplessness, ruthlessness, and ignorance can be attributed to various mysteries, just as in this world, the simple reason for the rising and setting of the sun is actually the sun god Shamash pulling the mother goddess The golden chariot made every day pulls the sun from the mountain in the eastern corner of the gods, offering warmth and light to human beings.

I haven't seen the sun for three days, and Joyas and Ishtar are going to be moldy. It is especially kind to see the sun in Uruk again. It is to see my kind brother Shamash...

The breeze blew Enkidu's clothes, and he looked down at Joyas and Ishtar, who collapsed comfortably on the ground—

"It seems that making the flower buds of the underworld is really tiring?" Enkidu said with a smile.

"Yeah, but it's worth it to think that Airey will be happy in the future."

Enkidu tilted his head, showing a puzzled smile, "Didn't the underworld be turned into a garden for blessing?"

"On the one hand, but that's not the main thing. Turning the underworld into a garden is one of the things I've always wanted to do." Joyas said seriously, getting up from the ground.

Enkidu sized him up, and then said, "Shouldn't you introduce yourself? Holy Sword Envoy."

"My name is Joyas Pendragon, the holy sword user of the stars." Joyas replied seriously.

Enkidu nodded solemnly, looking cute. Strictly speaking, Enkidu is not a man, he is more like a woman.

"I am Enkidu, the weapon 'Sky Lock' created by the goddess Aluru, and the tool of the current king, His Majesty Gilgamesh."

Goddess Aluru is another name of Goddess Ningsun, but it is just a name modified in different regions and when using different authorities.

"May I know why you came here?" Enkidu said, "Just as I heard, you are going to challenge my king Gilgamesh?"

The thing about Enkidu is one of the few Mesopotamian epics that Joyas Pendragon knows about.

"I came here to kill Humbaba," said Joyas.

"Just for this..."

"...There are other purposes as well." Joyas said a little uneasy, Enkidu's eyes were too sincere, making people feel a little guilty for lying.

Ishtar looked at the two people who were talking back and forth, with her arms folded, one foot shaking impatiently——

Now Ishtar has come out of the sadness that Joyas likes and appreciates Ellie.

Others say that Ishtar likes Joyas, and Eileen thinks so too, but it's not entirely true.

Be proactive and outgoing.She likes beautiful things, hates ugly things, and she must get what she wants. This is Ishtar. In addition, there is a person who looks like Tohsaka Rin who relies on her violent and cruel nature. The young girl was replaced.

Even if you kept lying to yourself, saying, 'I don't care about Joyas Pendragon at all', it would definitely be impossible.

As Joyas said, she also has a crush on Ai Lei, so although she is jealous, she also sympathizes with Ai Lei, and the interaction between Ai Lei and Joyas is still within her tolerance.

Because of this good impression, the troubles and fragility in her character that are caring like an old lady and meddling at the same time came out.

But now-

She saw such a scene, a scene that made her impatient, and there was no doubt that Enkidu was completely a woman, or Joyas must have taken him for a woman—

There was a bit of guilt and anxiety in his tone. When he spoke to this Enkidu, he seemed hesitant, as if he was seeing such a beautiful woman for the first time, so shy that he couldn't help himself?It is obvious that he always speaks accurately in front of others, and even has a bit of a poisonous tongue.

But now Enkidu just dropped his armor?

It was as if a thunderbolt appeared in Ishtar's head——

Joyas once said that he really wanted the Sky Lock, right?

Could it be that this is the real purpose of Joyas?

He likes Enkidu? ? ?

is that a lie?Then wouldn't I become someone else's substitute?

Ishtar would think so, because she was ready to deeply engrave her name on the weapon that Goddess Ningsun made for Joyas that was about to be formed.

He wanted the lock of the sky, and the lock of the sky was given to Gilgamesh, and there was no way to recreate a substitute. The person who helped him make a substitute was Ishtar.

Ishtar is a substitute?

with a snap.

Something in the mind of the incompetent goddess with a strange brain circuit was broken.

And Joyas had no idea that he had offended Ishtar.

"I fully understand." Enkidu bowed his head slightly, and a complicated expression flashed in his slightly yellowish green eyes, which almost destroyed his gentle image for a moment.

"In other words, everything you do is basically guided by the gods?" Enkidu said.

"Ah, that's right."
