Journey to Salvation from Chaldea

Gilgamesh fell silent.He looked at the moonlit night for a few seconds and said, "What do you know?"

"Tiamat." Yue Ye said bluntly, "This is something more terrifying than the Alliance of the Three Goddesses, and it will be the ultimate enemy of our Chaldea at this singularity without accident. I want to know, in your With clairvoyance, what do you see?"

"The huge god's shadow smashed through the city wall, and all the houses were burned." Gilgamesh was silent for a while, and then said, "Blood was floating on the streets, and corpses piled up among the houses. This king can't do anything about it."

"But it looks like you still chose to fight to the end?"

"Idiot, it's not just this king who chose to fight to the end." Gilgamesh said dissatisfiedly, "The Magic King sent the Holy Grail to this era, and the god Tiamat was pulled up from the world of imaginary numbers. At that time, this king Has seen the future and told the people."

"This king said, 'Uruk will be destroyed in half a year. This is an unchangeable ending. How to meet the end, this king will not force you. You can run away. You can indulge in pleasure. You can lament and plunge into the underworld.' "Gilgamesh had a bit of nostalgia in his eyes, "Guess what they said? They all chose to fight. Knowing the ending, they still decided to fight it."

"Are you going to use blood to cast a monument?" Yue Ye sighed softly, "It's really... tragic."

"No, their efforts are not worthless." Gilgamesh smiled, "At least, the sacrificed people managed to make the living people wait for you."

"Ok?"

"On the day you arrived, this king overstretched his body again and used clairvoyance." Gilgamesh said, "Although the future I can see is still blurry, at least Uruk is intact. Although I don't know you How it was done, but the future does seem to have been reversed."

"But you are against Lixiang..."

"Why, do you think this king treats you unfairly?" Gilgamesh raised his chin slightly, "I only know that you Chaldea changed the future, but I don't know how you did it. So , My method is to train them separately. For Fujimaru Tachika and Mash who are not strong enough in combat, I choose to let them learn about Uruk bit by bit from the bottom. For you who are far more powerful than me, I will teach you The king's strategic plans that were abandoned due to insufficient combat power have been reactivated, and then I will assign you those very difficult tasks."

"...You really make the best use of everything." Yue Ye shook her head helplessly, "Let's get down to business. Since you have clairvoyance, do you know where Tiamat is now?"

Gilgamesh nodded, then shook his head: "I do know a little bit, but I don't want to tell you. From my point of view, you don't have the ability to defeat Tiamat head-on. Of course, Maybe you do have it, but you just didn’t show it—then prove it to me, because I just have a new task for you.”

"To put it bluntly, you still want to continue to use me?" Yue Ye rolled his eyes, "Well, it would be good to give Mash and Li Xiang a little more time to experience life. What is the next task?"

————————————————————

"The above is this report. In the dispute between mutton and goat milk, where prices are skyrocketing, thanks to the words of the seniors, 'then just eat beans', the problem has been solved for the time being."

Early the next morning, Matthew and Lixiang came to the Great God Pagoda for a routine report.

"No, wait a minute, do you call it a solution!? How can beans be better than mutton!? Ha, don't you plan to sell beans as a side dish of ale!?" Gilgamesh shook his head again and again , "No, that's not okay! It's too early for Uruk! People will turn into walking dead working for beans!"

Siduri reminded helplessly: "King Gilgamesh, there are still a lot of reports to be hoarded, you can stop it. Moreover, you said that you have tasks to assign to them."

"That's right, let's get down to business." Gilgamesh sat back on the throne.Are your performances pretty good?The praise of your work by the citizens of Uruk has also spread to this king.Although from the king's point of view, the content is still boring, but the evaluation of the world must also be considered.After all, the bet between the king and that guy is like this, but it is 1 years too early for the king to apologize. "

He took a stone slab from the armrest of the throne, then stood up and said, "Fujimaru Tateka of Chaldea, you should have been tired of those tedious chores. This king grants you permission to go outside Uruk." , go show your skills."

Li Xiang opened his eyes wide in surprise: "That means..."

Gilgamesh nodded: "That's right, it's my king's decree. Be proud, miscellaneous..."

"Cough!" Yue Ye coughed heavily.

"...the miscellaneous officer." Gilgamesh changed his words very bluntly.

"Eh? Wang, what is that?" Siduri, who was in charge of recording, froze for a moment.

"Idiot! This is the official position that this king bestows on the people of Chaldea!" Gilgamesh said without changing his expression, "Let's just record it like this, 'The king bestows the official position of sundry handler on foreign guests.' "

"Okay, okay!" Siduri nodded obediently, although she felt a little disobedient.

"The task is to investigate the jungle near the city of Ur, so go ask Merlin about the specific matters!" Gilgamesh said, "Also, Moon Night, I also have a task for you. Go to the city of Kuza , to recover the tablet of destiny. This task is very important, but I can rest assured that you are here. The village girl next to you, Joan of Arc Alter, still needs her combat power in the north wall, please go to the north wall to take another day's shift Well. As for your assistant on this trip... I think that big idiot flying around in the sky is fine. She has been idle for too long, it's time for her to do something."

"It's a blessing that Ishtar didn't fight with you." Yue Ye shook her head helplessly, "Okay, let's set off now."

###Chapter 390 Ishtar Travel Notes###

"Really, why did I run so far with you..."

In the carriage heading to Kusa City, Ishtar complained softly.

"Isn't it good to go out for a walk?" Yue Ye smiled and drove the car, "Besides, strictly speaking, Kusa City is your territory, right?"

"But next to it is the territory of the Goddess of Warcraft?" Ishtar got out of the carriage and stretched his upper body, "And it can't be completely regarded as my territory... Forget it, let you see it for yourself. gone."

"What's going on?" Yue Ye asked curiously.

"According to the observation results from Uruk, Kusa City should be a city that suddenly disappeared, right?" Ishtar said, "The golden guy sent an investigation team, and what they saw was a silent city. The streets. There was no blood, body, or battle, and the entire townspeople died as if asleep."

"You didn't do it, did you?"

"How is that possible!?" Ishtar retorted fiercely, "Do I look like the kind of god who kills innocent people indiscriminately?"

Yue Ye shook her head slightly: "That's not likely, but you look like the kind of person who will cause a lot of trouble."

"What, what is this all about?" Ishtar punched Yueye's back with a fist, "I am obviously a reliable goddess of Venus!"

"Ah, speaking of this. Help me get something from the carriage." Yue Ye said, "Beside that pot, yes, that's the one, pass me that clay tablet."

"what is this?"

"I found part of the work records of Matthew and the others very interesting, so I asked Siduri to find a civil official to make a copy for me." Yue Ye raised the clay tablet in front of her eyes, "Let me read it to you , These are all the testimony of Uruk and its nearby residents?"

"You ask what Goddess Ishtar is here for? You should understand this pasture full of potholes! There is no difference! There is no difference! There is a slapping sound, super scary! While flying around in the sky, Shooting at us indiscriminately! And that loud laughter!" Yue Ye smiled narrowly, imitating the tone of the frightened people, "——The above is the testimony of Mr. Atik, the rancher."

"It's unbelievable...I'm fed up...Always attack when I'm busy...Shooting from the sky...Although I heard that in Papa's generation, the goddess promised a good harvest every three years , but this year is blindly losing money... It is a miracle that no one was injured... And that big laugh... I have been laughing..." Yue Ye changed her tone, this time it sounded like she was wronged The young man, "—the above, from the testimony of the rancher, Mr. Galani."

"What kind of Harvest Goddess is that, that guy will definitely be called the Venus Demon in hundreds of years..." Yue Ye continued to read the next one.

"Stop, stop!" Ishtar interrupted Yue Ye in a panic, and grabbed the clay tablet in his hand, "Who is speaking ill of me? Rumors, framing, slander! Let me know I'm going to take them all to court, okay?"

Yue Ye shrugged: "Not only that, but the report also records your blackmailing of the ranchers. 'Hand over all the gems to me!' 'All the gems in your house belong to me!'—and so on. What Well, it looks like a worthless bandit."

"I'm not!" Ishtar blushed, "My request is a natural reward! Besides, if you save human beings for free, they will easily fall! Put the precious gems in the hands of those bumpkins It's a waste, gems should belong to the people who own them!"

"The number of days has changed, and the artifacts are easier to buy. It is a natural law that they belong to virtuous people? Is that what you mean?" Yue Ye raised his eyebrows.

"This... this... is almost like this?" Ishtar thought for a while.

Yue Ye suppressed a smile and shook her head: "If you really say that, maybe a prime minister in a wheelchair will point at your nose and scold you in the next second."

"Prime Minister? Scold me?" Ishtar was a little confused.

"Ahem!" Yue Ye cleared her throat, and then said in a loud voice, "I've never seen such a brazen person!"

"???"

————————————————————

The carriage stopped in front of a tall and broken stone arch, Yue Ye jumped out of the car and looked at the city in front of him.

"Is this the city of Kusa? A city that ceased activity overnight..."

"The damage is so serious. It doesn't look the same as what I remembered. Could it be that after all the residents died, they were attacked by monsters?" Ishtar also jumped out of the car, "No, no, it's because Because of 'her', there shouldn't be any monsters who would dare to come in..."

"Forget it, there is plenty of time for investigation, let's find the Tablet of Destiny first." Yue Ye stretched his waist, "That thing has a very high concentration of magic power just like Gilgamesh's theocratic seal tablet. Although the The concentration of mana is not low, making its reaction not as obvious as a lighthouse in the dark, but it can still be as good as a lantern in the forest—that is, something that you will never miss when you pass by. Men on the left and women on the right, let's look for them separately."

"Woo...why did I help that golden bling find something..." Ishtar frowned and knocked on his head, "I always feel like he's being used indirectly...I'm so unwilling..."

"Okay, don't think so much. How about it, if you can find it, I will give you a little reward." Yue Ye said with a smile.

"What reward?" Ishtar said weakly, she was still not very motivated.

Yue Ye smiled and held out his hand to Ishtar.The golden civilization crystals gathered little by little, turning into gems one by one.In a few seconds, Yueye's right hand was filled with colorful crystals.Ishtar's eyes were about to pop out, she muttered "jewel gem gem gem", and then a hungry tiger rushed over.

"No." Yue Ye flipped his hand, and the gemstone disappeared, "Work first, then get rewards."

Ishtar turned Yue Ye's hands and sleeves over and over several times, and finally accepted the fact that he couldn't grab the gem.She stomped her feet angrily, and snorted arrogantly: "Hmph, just wait and obediently enshrine the gem to me, mortal!"

Then, she turned around like a proud little swan, snapped her fingers, and Maanna appeared beside her.Ishtar boarded the sky boat and rushed into the alleys of Kusa City without looking back.

"Isn't this goddess easy to deal with?" Yue Ye smiled and shook her head, "OK, then my work here can also start."

###Chapter 390 Two Unexpected People, Meet Here###

Sand sculpture group 779037920)

After wandering around the dilapidated streets of the city, Yue Ye didn't see anything about the clay tablet of destiny.However, he did see some interesting things.As Ishtar said, the population of Quza City seemed to disappear in an instant.There was leftover rice in the pot, dusty dishes on the table, and beds that hadn't been cleaned up in some residents' bedrooms.

"Interesting, if Holmes is here, he will be very interested, right?" Yue Ye murmured to himself as he walked through the square in the center of the city, "This is a sudden disappearance of thousands of people. Ah, speaking of disappearing... I Remember what Ishtar said about dying suddenly instead of disappearing suddenly? Then where did their remains go?"

"despair."

After taking a step, the scenery around Yue Ye suddenly changed.The sun that was still hanging in the sky just now disappeared without a trace, replaced by a pitch-black dome.The city's buildings also turned into huge stones, making him feel like he was in a gloomy mountain.

"Huh?" Yue Ye stopped thinking, "How did I get here?"

He looked around and found a group of people wearing cloaks standing not far away.He lit up the black diamond on the top of Everything, and walked towards the group of people like holding a torch: "Excuse me, where is this?"

The faces of the figures were illuminated by a gentle blue-white light, and Yue Ye was slightly taken aback by this.The faces under the cloak are male and female, but they all have one thing in common: they are all very haggard, like completely dried mummies.A gust of wind blew from nowhere, making their cloaks stick to their bodies.Judging from the outline of the body, Yue Ye was even more sure of the identity of the mummies of this group of people—at least they couldn't be living people.

"A living person...is a living person. Why are there living people in the underworld...why..."

"Underworld?" Yue Ye raised an eyebrow, "Is this the underworld?"

"Are you here to laugh... are you here to plunder... are you here to escape... are you here to discard..." The mummy walked over unsteadily, "unforgivable, no matter what kind ...don't want any warm breath, warm body..."

"Huh?" Yue Ye summoned the red Skylark.

"Stop, Galura spirits, that person is not dead yet. If you take this person away, you will incur the wrath of the master. Close the seven doors and go back to perform your duty of protection." The vigorous voice of the old man sounded from behind the mummies, "You too, young magician, stop."

The Galula spirits automatically made way for the old man.Blue flames burned on their bodies, and then turned into light spots and disappeared.

The old man in a cloak and on crutches walked up to Moon Ye.Before he could speak, Yue Ye smiled and asked, "Old man?"

"My name is Zhusudra." The old man said, "Magicians, please tell me when you get back..."

"Where's your big sword, old man? Where's your skeleton armor?" Yue Ye said with a smile, "You don't think I'm so insensitive to the death energy on you, do you?"

"Ah."

After a soft sigh, a burst of black air swept over, and a tall skeleton swordsman appeared in front of Yue Ye: "...I really can't do anything with you, kid."

Although Yueye still couldn't read the mood of the old man in the mountain through the two blue fires in the eye sockets, but intuitively, he felt that the old man in the mountain was quite happy now.

"Meet you again, old man." Yue Ye said with a smile, "You and Merlin are both here, it seems that something is serious?"

"I'm just in case." The old man in the mountain said, "But seeing your appearance, I can feel a little relieved. It seems that you have already known your destiny."

"Thank you, old man, for showing me the way at that time." Yue Ye said with a smile, "It's too early to know the fate, but it can be regarded as knowing a little about myself."

"Oh, then let me tell you something you don't know." The old man in the mountain said, "Please keep the next words in your heart and don't tell others. What I want to say is that you have crossed the age The final enemy of the journey—the human incinerator Gaetia!"

————————————————————

In other myths, the "underworld" or "hell" seems to be in another world, but in Uruk, the underworld and the earthly world coexist in the same world.As long as you start digging down from the surface, you will be able to dig to the underworld sooner or later.And returning from the underworld to the earth is nothing more than a process of ascending a height.

Although the person has been sent back by the old man in the mountain, Yue Ye's thoughts are still in the underworld.Although what the old man in the mountain said was only a few words, it had a great impact on him.He walked aimlessly, digesting the words of the old man in the mountain bit by bit.

"Eh? Why is it getting dark?" Yue Ye suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking at the sky in astonishment, "Is it because the flow of time in the underworld is different, or am I too obsessed with thinking? Why is the sun setting... By the way, that Why hasn't the Goddess of Losing the Cow come back? Could it be that after losing the cow, she lost herself this time?"

He lit his cane, and while looking around, he began to shout: "Ishtar, Ishtar! Where are you? If you are lazy, the gems will be gone?"

Yue Ye yelled several times, but did not receive any response.There was neither Ishtar's angry complaints, nor a heavenly boat suddenly appeared from somewhere in the city.He started from where they were separated, and entered the city to search bit by bit.After a full 15 minutes, Yue Ye found Ishtar who was lying soundly asleep on the street.

"Hello! Ishtar...Huh?" Yue Ye wanted to wake her up directly, but after walking a few steps closer to see Ishtar's appearance, he immediately changed his mind, "...this deserted library Are there any hair dye shops open in Sashi?"

Ishtar's appearance has basically remained the same, except that his black hair has now completely turned into a conspicuous golden color.She held the Destiny Clay Tablet in her arms, and the dagger-like weapon was thrown aside.Although the clothes Ishtar usually wears are already attractive enough, but the goddess who has always been a face-saving goddess lay on the ground in a deep sleep without image, which brought a greater visual impact to the moonlit night.

He thought for a while, then smiled helplessly.He scattered everything, took off his windbreaker, and put it on Ishtar, then picked her up in the posture of a princess, and walked towards the carriage.

"Really, I just fell asleep like this. Although I don't know if gods will get sick, but if humans do this, they will almost certainly catch a cold..."

### Chapter 390 Chapter Three Ai Lei###

"It hurts, my head hurts...! What is this, where is this place?"

"Ishtar" slowly opened his eyes, and then looked around.This is an abandoned residential building, but the furniture and everything are well preserved.She was sitting on a chair leaning against a pillar, wearing a long trench coat.In front of her, a young man with long hair was stirring a pot, and the rich aroma filled the whole room.

"Ah, you're awake?" the young man turned his head, "It's eight o'clock in the night Uruk time, good morning."
