Please Put Me on the Throne of Heroes

In the magnificent and spacious temple of Uruk, someone said to the towering throne: "My lord, haven't you come back yet?"

It was an old man with an old face in a linen robe, the high priest of the pantheon, the one who brought the sage who had passed away to meet the king.

Of course, that was once.

The current Pantheon has been stripped of most of its rights, leaving only the right to sacrifice, and most of the elderly in it are at home.

But the former high priest still came to the palace every day to ask the same question.

Is the king back?

"Master High Priest." From the side of the throne, someone spoke. It was Siduri. Although her appearance was still young, her voice was no longer crisp and clear, but with a bit of deep voice: "The king has not returned yet." .”

"Really..." The old priest was not surprised, but he was a little disappointed: "It seems that the successive departures of Luo Wei and Lord Enkidu still have a great impact on the king..."

Since that day, when the sage Lovi was stolen by the original god Tiamat, Enkidu left without saying goodbye, leaving only a "letter" telling Gilgamesh that she was going to Find Luo Wei and let your friends cherish it.

And the remaining god, Ishtarin, also disappeared. It is said that she went to a higher time and space where all the gods will eventually arrive. She said that she would definitely wait there until Luo Wei's return, and she would settle with him. The 'account' that was not settled before.

It was also after that that the young and wise king of Uruk left after a period of silence.

He said that he was going far away to find the elixir to lift the curse.

This time, I haven't returned for several years.

If it weren't for the fact that the sage Luo Wei has built a complete bottom-up system for this huge country, even if there is no king, as long as the king's power is still there, and everyone guards the king's power, it can still maintain operation, Uruk It has long since fallen apart and died in name only.

But this does not mean that the country does not need the king of Gilgamesh.

In fact, because of the lack of Gilgamesh, although Uruk can maintain its operation, it is always in a state of convergence.

Many important matters have been put on hold for the time being, and no one can make a decision, even Siduri lacks that wisdom and courage.

Thinking of this, the old priest sighed again... It was because he knew the stories of those three people that he was even more emotional and helpless.

Just at this moment, outside the door, came the familiar laughter.

"Huh ha ha ha... It seems that this country really cannot do without a great king!"

As crazy and arrogant as ever.

The old priest was stunned, and so was Siduri.

At the same time, they looked at the figure coming out of the door... He had long blond hair, was wearing a golden armor, his hair was disheveled, and his face was still handsome, but his skin was slightly dark, with traces of many experiences.

"King!" Siduri was slightly excited.

"King—" The old priest also bent down.

Gilgamesh nodded and stepped forward. When he walked to the throne, the king glanced at the two thrones that had been vacant for a long time, and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty..." Siduri was a little surprised.

You know, when Rovi and Enkidu left one after another, Gilgamesh had been "depressed" for a while-although this depression was reflected in more swearing and more reckless behavior.

The former has the feeling of the sage, while the latter restores its appearance before meeting the sage.

But now, that feeling is gone.

"It's nothing, Siduri." Gilgamesh shook his head: "This king just thought of the appearance of that idiot when he was captured by Tiamat...Damn it, when I mentioned that idiot, this king will go to hell." Can't help laughing out loud, hum ha ha ha!"

Siduri: "..."

It's over, the king is broken again.

After laughing for a while, Gilgamesh paused again, and said, "Do you know where I went this time?"

"My king traveled through the entire world on foot, and found the legendary immortal grass that can relieve all curses." Gilgamesh sat down on the throne, and said in a low voice, "But this king threw it away again."

Because that thing shouldn't be owned by this king.

Because during this long journey, Gilgamesh has seen and learned many things.

'The returning king, that's what he said'

'I have set foot on the highest mountain in the world, and I have seen the colorful clouds left by the bull of the sky'

"I have also walked under the abyss and seen the depths of the secluded earth of Hades"

'I have crossed the vast sea and seen the end of the sky and the earth'

'That's when I realized'

'My friend...'

'So, you've been by my side'

"Hmph haha...that idiot left a vast world for this king in Hades!" Gilgamesh laughed.

What is the future of Uruk?

Gilgamesh also thought carefully after his two friends left one after another.

Uruk must not last forever.

Not only because of the so-called historical correctness, but also because there is no eternal thing in this world, stagnation will bring death, and the same is true for rapid expansion.

However, after being cursed, Luo Wei traveled back and forth to the Underworld countless times...

There, he opened up a vast world with the power of his own attribute of opening up the world.

Whether forward or backward,

The sages in front of the king have already pre-selected a retreat for him.

"This king believes that guy is still alive."

"That's why this king will personally lead Uruk, the common treasure of the three of us, to the most glorious moment, here, waiting for their return!"

These were the last words the king left on that day.

'Since then, the king has made great efforts to govern and started a conquest from all directions'

'He actively handled government affairs, reformed Uruk'

'He led the army to expand the territory of Uruk to the entire Mesopotamian plain'

'He brought the name of Uruk down to earth'

'He once intersected with the vast world of the Aegean Sea, and brought great influence to the scattered city-state civilization, and was called 'the greatest king of the golden age'. '

'He is the original king and the symbol of a hero'

'Is the original, heroic king'

'In his old age, he led the whole of Uruk to the Underworld, where he waited for the return of the king's friends'

'Since he left, Mesopotamia was scattered again. After that, the Akkadian civilization rose again, and Babylon unified Mesopotamia'

'500 years later, Hammurabi created the world's first legal code based on the clay tablets left by the sages'

'Ungod Hades'

'Lovie before the king'

'It's still called that today'

'The Epic of Gilgamesh'

"Huh ha ha ha...You golden glitter, although you have a bad mouth, you still did a good job!"

"Jill, it's fine..."

Underworld.

After the disappearance of the goddess Erene, it fell into the domain of Gilgamesh's 'rule'.

Above the towering palace, Gilgamesh slightly opened his eyes.

Is it an auditory hallucination...

their voices.

A trace of surprise flashed across Wang's scarlet eyes.

He looked at the key floating in front of him.

It rolled and turned into a silver chain and a spiral sword.

The manifestation of the power projection left by Enkidu and Rovi.

Gilgamesh was stunned.

Immediately laughed.

It turned out that it was not an illusion.

It turned out that they were always by his side...

"My lord...Hades, the Hades of the Aegean Sea, invites you to be our guest."

Siduri's voice sounded from one side.

These days, the Pluto next door, the "God of Mechanics" descended from the sky, has been hoping to get the "character" that a Pluto should have from Gilgamesh.

"Understood, tell that mechanical head—this king will go." Gilgamesh put away the thing in front of him and treasured it in the deepest part of the treasure house.

In those scarlet pupils, he stopped thinking, leaving only a sense of awe, and that insane smile that never changed.

Even if he was classified into the Underworld, he never minded proclaiming his existence to the world.

And in the 'future' that he can see, in that piece of soil, there is the figure of that guy.

...

"Enkidu...humanity, what is it?"

"Actually, I don't understand either, but I know that as long as you have the desire to wait for a person in your heart, then you will be able to know what a person is."

"Is it... But I still don't understand."

"You will understand sooner or later, just like the broken steel body that you have faded away, you will inevitably become a god who understands human nature, Artemis."

"As for me, I was actually just a creature of the gods who didn't understand emotions..."
