Hellish Affairs

After hearing Joyas' voice, Allie waved her hands in a panic and said, "I, I didn't read or say anything? Whether it's the buildings, lights, starry sky or people's smiles here, I don't envy them at all!"

"Pfft." Joyas Pendragon couldn't hold back his smile and laughed.

He pointed to the southern part of Uruk that he ruled, and said proudly: "Ereshkigal, goddess of the underworld, Uruk is beautiful, right?"

It's like a child showing his favorite toy to his playmates.

The joy from the heart softened Ai Lei's face, and the breeze at night brought joyful cheers from the people in the distance, 'Long live King Joyas'.

She looked at Joyas' eyes, those shining eyes were like stars in the sky.

Immediately, the goddess of the underworld felt a burst of heat on her face, she looked away in a panic and nodded: "Well, it's very beautiful."

As if he had been praised, Joyas smiled and said thanks:

"Thank you, Ai Lei will also work hard."

"what?"

"Ai Lei, do you want to build a city in the ground that is not inferior to the ground? With bright flowers, bright stars, and gentle breeze, a city that can rival Uruk." Joyas recalled the previous games Rielle's dream.

He looked at Ai Lei who seemed a little sluggish, and said with a smile: "I believe, Ai Lei, you will definitely do it."

As the goddess of the underworld, Alley is immersed in the beautiful blueprint drawn by Joas Pendragon at this time, as if she has seen the outline.

The girl's amber eyes became brighter and she nodded vigorously to make a promise: "I will definitely do it! One day!"

Then Alley turned around and was about to leave. Seeing this, Joyas quickly asked, "Are you leaving already? Don't you stay a little longer?"

"I can't wait to go back to Hades, and I still have the duties of Hades."

Looking at Ai Lei who was gradually walking away without looking back, Joyas thought to himself that she deserved to be the mistress of Hades, and she had a strong sense of responsibility.

He shouted loudly: "Oh, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me for help! As a friend, I can still rely on you!"

As soon as the words fell, the goddess of Hades not far away seemed to have tripped over something, staggered and almost fell.

Joyas felt a little guilty when he saw this, it shouldn't be my fault, right?

After standing still, Ai Lei suddenly turned around and rushed over with an unstoppable momentum.

I don't know if it was because of running, but she asked pantingly with a ruddy complexion, "You just said 'friend', right? It's not a 'dark and negative self-masochistic goddess', right?"

How can the two characters be expanded to such an extent? !

"It's a friend, Ereshkigal, the hostess of Hades." Joaspendragon said helplessly, "Don't belittle yourself casually, as a friend, I will get angry."

"—Friends! That's right! We are friends!"

Ellie, who was clenching her small fists in a triumphant pose, had a bright smile on her face that seemed to be shining brightly.

Joyas couldn't help being in a daze, infected by her smile.

"Hehe, I see. When the city of Hades is completed, I will treat you as the first person to invite. Thank you very much... Uh, what do you mean by that smiling expression?"

"I just feel that I am looking forward to the scene at that time."

"Definitely a lie!"

Chapter 140 The joys and sorrows between people are not connected

After Alley left, Joyas remembered that the other party had appeared so suddenly and had borrowed Ishtar's body, whether there was something he wanted to find himself.

"But since Ai Lei didn't remember it, it shouldn't be something important." Thinking of this, Joyas picked up a glass of juice and sipped it.

Now that Humbaba is dead, Gilgamesh's prestige has reached its peak.

If I retire at this time, wouldn't I be able to raise Gilgamesh's prestige to a higher level?

Another king who can defeat the wise and mighty King Joyas.

The true king Gilgamesh!

Hiss... It's great just thinking about it, doesn't it?

Joaspendragon thought so shamelessly.

After making up his mind, Joyas decided to leave as soon as possible.

You must know that there is still a bet on him. If he loses, he will return Aluru to the mother god Ningsun.

God knows if those gods would see something, even Gilgamesh could see the future with clairvoyance.

To sum up, he thinks that if it is too late, things will change, and it is better to take Aluru and let Gem Weng send him back earlier.

"Yeah, isn't this King Joyas, one of the heroes who returned in triumph? Why are you in a daze here?" Another frivolous voice appeared, "Do you want big brother to accompany you?"

"Merlin, do you want me to kick you out of here?"

"It still hurts at such a high height, please let me go."

Because the two are on the tower at this time.

The white-haired magician smiled unabated, and Joyas sighed with a look that deserved a beating: "Fufu, come on!"

Just as he finished speaking, a white puppy-like creature jumped out of Joyas' hood.

"Eh? Cathy Paluge?!"

Under Merlin's surprised gaze, Fufu kicked Merlin's face in the air: "Fufu! Fu!"

slap!

A cat footprint clearly appeared on Merlin's fair face.

Fufu, who jumped back onto Joyas' shoulders using the reaction force, raised her head high, like a winner who knocked down her opponent in a match.

"Well done, Fufu!" Joyas praised and touched Fufu on the shoulder.

"Fufu!"

"It hurts, hurts... When did the two of you get along so well? Two-on-one is a foul." Merlin, who was kicked, slowly stood up again.

I will tell you that when I was the master of Chaldea, I was also a Pokémon master?

While Merlin was patting the dust off his body, Joyas Pendragon looked at Uruk under the dark night and said plainly:

"Merlin, I'm ready to go back."

"I see, so my mission is complete, right?" Merlin raised his eyebrows lightly, and nodded with a smile.

Joyas, who glanced at him, shook his head, "No, you still have to stay."

"Eh? Working overtime for free?" Merlin looked surprised as if seeing an old employee with a mandatory contract, and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"Because Uruk is about to usher in a disaster, I hope you can do your part for Uruk, along with mine."

Merlin looked at Joyas with a serious face, and said with a wry smile, "...you are really good at calling people."

"I remember when someone patted his chest and said, 'Please handle me with peace of mind!'?" Joyas gave him a surprised look, and then smiled.

Merlin coughed lightly, and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, who made me become such a king."

The white-haired court magician restrained his unreliable expression, showed a gentle smile and bowed to the king in front of him to salute:

"Your order, my mission, I am willing to serve you, my king."

……

On the tower in the north of Uruk, Gilgamesh sitting on the throne plays with the key of the law of kings in his hand.

That's right, it is the legendary key-shaped sword that can connect to the "City of Gold".

Now the sword of the key, which symbolizes the king's treasure, represents wealth not only owned by Gilgamesh.

Because the people of Uruk know that the two kings of Uruk destroyed Humbaba, the guardian of the fir forest and the gatekeeper of the golden capital.

Together they won the treasure of the "Golden Capital".

The crimson vertical pupils representing the divine blood in his body moved slightly, and Gilgamesh said lightly, "Is it Enkidu?"

"Jill..." Enkidu opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak.

Gilgamesh stood up from the throne, walked to the edge of the roof and looked into the distance.

Stars dotted the night sky, and outside the prosperous Uruk, the grayish-yellow land in the field of vision continued to spread.

Until the cedar forest that has lost its brilliance.

The two people standing on the roof were silent at the same time.

The voice of the people of Urukle celebrating happily was easily transmitted to this rooftop, but the two people on the rooftop were not infected at all.

"King Joyas once told me that the sorrows and joys of people are not connected."

Enkidu's voice sounded from the empty rooftop, and he continued calmly: "Although I am not human, I think this sentence is correct."

"But Jill, please don't regret Humbaba's death, it's a choice of fate."

Humbaba, who was once a friend of the two, and Gilgamesh was praised by people for destroying it. Presumably his heart is extremely complicated at this moment.

Gilgamesh, who was originally indifferent, heard Enkidu's words, a trace of confusion flashed in his scarlet eyes: "The choice of fate?"

"Yes, King Joyas, you gave me something before." Nodding, Enkidu took out a shining coin from his bosom, with a soft smile on his face, "King Joyas It is said that when encountering difficult choices, leave the choice to fate.”

"like this……"

After speaking, Enkidu lightly tossed the new Uruk coin in his hand.

The coin thrown in mid-air kept flipping, and the 'destiny', which was not disturbed by anyone, rose to the highest point and then began to fall.

"Snapped!"

Until he was firmly caught by Enkidu with a smile on his face, he moved his hand away.

Showing the silver coin to the shocked Gilgamesh, with respect and admiration on his face:

"At that time, King Joyas said that if the head of God Anu..."

Looking at Enkidu who has entered the fanboy mode, Gilgamesh felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but want to taunt:

Is this childlike trick the choice of fate?

But seeing the lily-like smile on his best friend's face, Gilgamesh still didn't disappoint.
